Connection to Regional Sewer System:
On May 31, 2006, the PERCS Unit sent an Industrial Pretreatment approval letter for DAK (IUP#
21' 16RF) to discharge wastewater to the Fayetteville PWC Rockfish WWTP. During the time
period that followed, DAK sent approximately one-third of their total flow to PWC:. During 2010,
DAK chose to discontinue sending any wastewater to PWC. On December 20, 2010, the PERCS
Unit sent a Drop Approval Letter to PWC that acknowledged that the DAK IUP was officially
dropped from the PWC pretreatment program because the SIU had ceased to discharge process
wastewater to the POTW and thus no longer met the definition of a Significant Industrial User.
DAK has also chosen not discharge its domestic sewage -to the POTW.
Subsurface: N/A
Other disposal options: N/A
5. Other Special Items:
DAK is presently a member of the Cape Fear River Assembly. Instream Cape Fear River
monitoring is performed by this group.
PART IV - EVALUATION AND RECOM1VIENDATIONS
Please consider the following items that the Fayetteville Regional Office would like to be reviewed and
modified, if appropriate. ,
a. The latitude and longitude for the location that Outfall 001 and Outfall 002 mixed together before
flowing into the Cape Fear River were Latitude 34° 58' 42" and Longitude 78° 47' 00", as
according to Google Earth and Terrain Navigator. Please consider changing to these coordinates
in the permit.
b. The domestic wastewater from eighty employees at Clear Path Recycling flow directly into the
aeration basin (AB-1). The recent Fecal Coliform analyses (please see Attachment F) indicated a
large increase on September 29, 2010, and several very high results since then (up to 21,400
colonies/100 mL on February 16, 2011. Clear Path Recycling came on-line on July 14, 2010.
Please consider the addition to the Outfall 002 requirements for Fecal Coliforms limits and a
disinfection method (if chlorine, then please consider requiring a 28 µg/L chlorine limit). Please
note that this facility already has a chlorine contact chamber that is on-line; at the present, it is
without chlorination and dechlorination.
c. For the non -contact cooling tower water and blowdown that commingles with the stormwater
ditch, please consider either of the following: 1) the addition of Outfall 001 to this NPDES permit
(please see DAK's request in Attachment D), or 2) a general wastewater permit (NCG500000) for
the non -contact cooling water and cooling tower blowdown. Please see DAK's request in
Attachment D. Please also see email correspondence in Attachment C.
d. Please consider dropping the Nickel, Lead, and Di-N-Butyl Phthalate from the permit for the non -
contact cooling water and blowdown that commingles with the stormwater ditch, and that flows to
the sample location that has been designated by each of the following: SW-1, ME-1, and Outfall
001. (Please see Attachments D and the Attachment E list).
e. Please consider adding into the description of the wastewater treatment plant that there are now
"dual spill and settling basins" (500,000 gallons capacity each). Please keep in the description
that there is still another basin, the "main spill basin".

The wastewater treatment adequately treats the wastewater generated from DAK Resins Plant,
Clear Path Recycling, and the Dupont Teijin Film Plant. Based on the June 1, 2011 site inspection,
records review, and permit application information, it is recommended that the DAK NPDES Permit be
issued for an additional 5-year term. The two outfalls to be included in the permit are 002 (process water
lines from all sources) and 001 (which is DAK's storm water discharge that is combined with non -contact
cooling water blowdown wastewater from the DAK Service Complex).

Wastewater Treatment System Operation
Present Operating Status
The wastewater collection and treatment network consists of the following key sys-
tems: Outfall 001 for stonnwater and Outfall 002 for effluent from the biotreatment sys-
tem. The two are segregated until the flows reach the Outfall box at the river, they then
mix together and are discharged to the river via the same pipe. These systems are de-
scribed below..
The wastewater treatment system of DAK's•Cedar Creek -site is an activated sludge •
treatment system that consists of equalization, pH adjustment and nutrient addition, aera-
tion, clarification, and sludge digestion and disposal. The waste treatment system treats
industrial and sanitary discharges from DAK Americas, Clear Path Recycling, and the
DuPont Teijin Film. This wastewater must be treated prior to its discharge to the Cape
Fear River.
The wastewater treatment method used is a biological process that is divided into
five steps:
1. Collection and equalization of raw wastewater
The wastewater from the DAK Resins Plant, the Clear Path Recycling Plant, and the
DuPont Teijin Film Plant travel through .separate lines into either of two Equalization
(EQ) Tanks. These Equalization Tanks have a capacity of 660,500 gallons each or a
combined storage of 1,300,000 gallons. The combined flow is then metered into the
pH control pit. The Chem -Lift station collects chemical waste flows from the DAK.
utilities sump but bypasses EQ tanks for the pH Control Pit. The only other wastewa-
ter treated is domestic sewers from the DAK Services Complex that directly enters
the biological aeration basin.
DAKis also noting that two concrete -lined basins, each with a capacity of 500,000
gallons and which we commonly refer to as the settling basins is_ being added to the
description of the WWTP. These basins were built when the plant was originally
constructed and have been used occasionally as emergency basins to store high COD
influent for several days until the wastewater can be fed to the activated sludge sys-
tem.
2. Adjustment of pH and addition of nutrients
The pH control pit is divided into two chambers for nutrient and rough pH adjustment
followed by oil and grease removal along with final pH adjustment. Caustic is added

Are (e4)
in the first chamber to adjust the pH. Uran and phosphoric acid are also added in the
first chamber as nutrients. Defoaming chemicals and magnesium chloride can also be
added at this point as needed. The capacity of the pH control pit is 120,000 gallons.
3. ,Aeration
Activated sludge is used by the biotreatment system to process wastes. The raw
wastewater is combined with air and microorganisms and the soluble wastes are oxi-
dized through biochemical reactions. This reduces the `oxygen demand' of the water
so it can be safely discharged. There are two aeration basins; however, during normal
operation, only one is in service. Aerators provide oxygen as needed. Aeration Basin
1 has a capacity of 3,500,000 gallons and Aeration Basin 2 has a capacity of
• 1,200,000. Aeration Basin No. 2 can be used as either an aeration basin or as a di •
-
gester. Occasionally activated carbon is added to the aeration basin as a seed for the
. coagulation.of solids priorto clarification.
4. Clarification
After several days of detention time, this activated sludge is then settled in a clarifica-
tion process to remove suspended solids from the treated water. Sometimes the solids
do not settle very well, therefore polymers, Kl.araid PC1224 and IC1172, are added at
the distribution box where the flow is leaving the aeration basins and entering the
clarifier to aid in coagulation. This allows for improved settling of solids and less sol-
ids in the effluent stream. This clarified effluent is discharged into the Cape Fear
River. The concentrated solids are recycled back into the aeration basins in order to
maintain a `-steady state' waste treatment operation. This is called return activated
sludge (RAS). However, because the microbes are feeding on the wastewater chemi-
cals, their biomass is growing. Therefore a waste activated sludge (WAS) stream is
diverted from the RAS for further treatment. The diameter of the clarifier is 90 feet
and it has a capacity of 700,000 gallons._
5. Aerobic sludge digestion and disposal
Excess biomass is oxidized, or digested, by aerating the waste activated sludge in ba-
sins without influent feed. This reduces the amount of solids that have to be dis-
posed. A digester is available to treat the wasted activated sludge. The capacity of
the digester is 550,000 gallons. After several weeks of detention time, the sludge is .
pumped to a sludge storage basin. The sludge storage basin has a capacity of
1,000,000 gallons. After settling, the sludge is pumped to sludge drying beds for de -
watering. There are three sand -drying beds with a capacity of 100,000 gallons each.
All decanted water from..the storage basin and beds is returned to the Aeration Basins.
The solids from the drying beds are sent to the Sampson County Landfill or to McGill
Environmental for Composting.

Description of Manufacturing Processes
DuPont-Teijin-Films --:--- -
The DuPont Batch Plant was constructed in 1975 and uses dimethyl terephthalate
(DMT) and ethylene glycol (EG) as the basic raw materials. The Batch Plant produces
primarily film grade polyethylene terephthalate (PET) but small quantities of other spe-
cialty polymers are also produced in the batch reactors.
Ten reactor trains are used for the batch esterification and polymerization processes.
EG and EG prepared with process catalysts and additives are mixed with DMT in the es-
terinterchange reactor where the polymerization process is initiated. This reaction is
conducted in two stages, --the first -at atmospheric pressure and the second under vacuum:, -
During the esterification step, methanol is generated and removed from the process. The
methanol is collected and returned to the DMT manufacturer for recycle. Upon comple-
tion of the esterification step, the mixture is transferred by pressure into another vessel
for polymer addition where•the polymer chain is lengthened. The PET polymer from this
process is extruded, quenched and cut into chips which are transferred to silos for storage
prior to shipment to customers.
Crude EG, which is recovered from the esterification and polymerization, processes
is purified by the batch process in two distillation columns. This recovered EG is then
reused to make additional PET.
DATA Resin Plant
Continuous Polymerization (CP) Plant
The CP Plant was constructed in 1995 and started up in January 1996. Raw materi-
als for the continuous process include terephthalic acid (TA), EG, and isophthalic acid
(IPA). EG is combined with TA and IPA to make a slurry, which is fed to the esterifier
where it is heated to make an oligomer. The oligomer is transferred to the polymeriza-
tion, and polymerization takes place in several steps involving additives and heat. In the
final stages of polymer finishing, the polymer is filtered, extruded, quenched, chipped,•
dried and sent as polymer chips to the Solid State Process (SSP).
Solid State Process (CRP)
The SSP involves heating the PET chip to modify the polymer chain. Upon comple-
tion of the SSP, the chips are placed in silos prior to shipment to customers.

Supporting Activities
The above facilities also generate_wastewater which does not come in contact with
process contaminants. These non -contact streams include demineralized water treatment
blowdown, boiler blowdown, and cooling tower blowdown.. In addition, there are sani-
tary waste streams which are routed to the biological treatment system. Other contribu-
tions to wastewater include scrubber effluent, laboratory activities, wash down from
maintenance activities such as steam cleaning of equipment and minor leaks from equip-
ment being repaired. For general housekeeping purposes and to clean residual amounts
of minor leaks and spill, various areas of the plant are periodically washed by spraying
them down with water. This water is routed through a process area chemical sewer to the
biotreatment system.
Wellman
Operations at the Fayetteville Wellman plant ceased in 2003.
Clear Path Recycling LLC
In 2010 Clear Path Recycling LLC built a recycle bottle plant that is capable of pro-
ducing 90 MM lb/year of clean clear flake and 30 MM lb/year of clean.colored flake.
Bottle Storage
Bottles will be received in bales and stored outdoors on receiving pads. and inside
trailers.
Debailing section
Inside existing warehouses the recycling process begins with debailing.
The aim of this section is to break the bottle bales and to grant a regular flow in line feed-
ing.
• Inclined conveyor belt: The feed end is sunk into the floor so that the entire bales can
he glid onto it. Bales are set an the ground next to the feed section where the wires
are cut and tied to a stationary fixture. The bottles are then pushed with a forklift onto
the belt. The conveyor belt is sized to store bales. • This design allows the operator
time to perform other functions as well as loading the conveyor.

Iiot pre -washing Section
The patented pre -washing section removes the large and abrasive contaminates in a con-
tinuous form. This is accomplished using slow moving machines with very few moving
parts. This section recycles water from the flake washing section that would otherwise be
discharged -as• Waste:"
• The hot pre- washing removes almost all paper labels
• This section uses a stainless steel jacketed and insulated cylinder, where the loose bot-
tles are mixed with a hot caustic solution of water from the washing system to release
the label from the bottle O
• This section also removes all major dirt, sand and glass from the outside of the bot-
tles.
Inspection table and metal sorting .
The sorting section allows separation of large contaminates (such as non PET containers
or PET containers with enclosures containing metals) by manual and automatic sorting,
before these contaminates are cut into flakes,
• The manual sorting station uses a horizontal conveyor belt with operator platforms on
either side of the reject discharge chutes. Operators at this station manually pick out
any remaining contamination or non -PET bottles and deposit them into the reject .
chutes.
• In the automatic bottle detector section, the bottles are automatically selected by
means of detection technologies and color identification. A compressed air jet ejects
the undesired bottles onto a waste conveyor..
Wet Grinding section.
This section cuts the bottles into flakes, removes liquid contamination and pulverizes re-
sidual paper fiber improving the decontamination process. This size reduction is required
in order to facilitate material handling and chemical effectiveness in downstream sec-
tions.
• Wet Granulator: A grinding machine where water is sprayed into the cutting chamber
with the material, Fewer fines are produced in this machine and any residual paper is
pulped and separated in the washing centrifuge,
Washing Section.
The machines in this section are designed to accept the dirty flake, thoroughly wash it in
a controlled chemical reaction, remove residual glue, separate other contaminates, rinse
the surface from any residual product, and clry it. The following pieces of equipment -are
used in this section:
Stainless steel silos with discharge screws and internal screw type mixer.
• Blends and homogenizes the flake

A- r (&611/1/t)
• Accepts surges from upstream equipment and meters it.to the downstream
equipment
Reaction tanks: Stainless steel, insulated vessels with high speed, internal im-
pellers, very accurate level and temperature sensors, and discharge.pumps.
• Aggressively wash all flake under strict control of the essential parameters
(pH, chemicals liquid -solid ratio, time and temperature)
• Dissolve all glue and pulp all paper residue
• Specially developed impellers promote flake -to -flake contact rather than
flake to machine contact in order to reduce wear.
• A water collection, filtering, and chemical treating loop captures, controls
and reuses the used chemical solution.
Horizontal centrifuge:
• Econothically removes liquid, fines and pulp from the flake without allowing
the material to cool. This prevents the dissolved glue from re -adhering to the
machines and flake, which is especially important for higher quality end
product and machine functionality.
Separation tank:
This large tank of water has a bottom discharge with flow control, paddles
across the top, and a material inlet under the .surface. Residual floating polymers
(PE and PP) are removed in this machine.
• The material inlet -under the surface of the water prevents attached air or sur-
face tension from affecting the buoyancy of the material.
• A patented diffuser at the material entrance insures that the flakes are dis-
persed throughout the tank, thereby minimizing one flake affecting the
buoyancy of another.
• :A water filtering and collection system facilitates control of the water
Rinsing reactors:
Highly agitated tanks with a clean water circulation system and extraction
pumps.
• Clean water rinses and cools material for an extremely high quality, clean
product.
Dewatering and drying:
This section consists of a vertical centrifuge and fluid bed drier.
Aerodynamic separation and blending silos
This section removes any fines or film from the multilayer bottles as well as any
polystyrene (PS) or PET labels that may be present.
Big bag unit: The dried and separated flakes are then sent to a big bag filling
station that uses an efficient shaking system to ensure the bags are filled to

(amt)
maximum capacity and weight control. Front this packaging operation the
flakes will be shipped by truck.

Hi Joe,
Yesterday afternoon Paul Rawls and I visited DAK. According to the Donald Allbright (WWTP ORC) and to my
observation, the Cooling Tower Blowdown (CTW-BD) appeared to flow into and mix with stormwater in the DAK storm
drain system that flowed approximately 1/2 mile to the Outfall 001. The CTW-BD was at a rate of between 157,000 GPD
to 281,000 GPD on different days during this week. (Just for interesting information, according to DAK's computer
records, there was zero GPD discharge during certain cold winter months).
Let me know if you need additional information.
Thanks,
Dale

Ms. Wike - I received your phone message Monday asking about permit requirements to convert an aeration.basin into
a digester. If not already done, please share your intentions with the Fayetteville Regional Office (FRO). Because this is a
major modification to your treatment system, you will need to:
1. Submit an application requesting a "major modification" and appropriate fees (see our website).
2. Submit an application for -Authorization to Construct (A to C) permit, including plans and specification, to
DWQ's Construction Grants and Loans (CG&L).
3. After construction but before operating new facilities, submit an Engineer's Certification form testifying that
construction was conducted in accord with plans& specs, the NPDES permit and the A to C permit. This may
also require you to inform the FRO to schedule appropriate onsite inspections prior to discharge.
Finally, I understand that your Outfall 001,was incorrectly assumed to be stormwater, and we should therefore remove
it from Stormwater NCS000389 and reinstate it in the subject NPDES permit. Please confirm for me that Outfall 001 has
no stormwater component and is cooling water only. If so, we may consider this in the permit modification along with
the above -proposed changes.

lithe outfall in question receives both stormwater AND general wastewater, then discharges from this.outfall would be
considered as wastewater and should be captured under the facility's NPDES wastewater permit or a separate
NCG500000 general wastewater permit (I don't see a reason for them to have separate wastewater permits if it can be
captured under one). There may be scenarios where stormwater discharges from the outfall during rain events and
there is no cooling tower blowdown at the same time, which would make these discharges stormwater only. However, it
seems as though the Stormwater Permitting Unit is uncomfortable with covering this outfall under the stormwater
permit as there is no way to be certain if any residual wastewater might be present in the outfall from previous cooling
tower blowdown events. Simply put, if there is any commingling of stormwater with wastewater, then it is all
wastewater.

Mr. Corporon,
1. DAK is proposing to convert an existing aeration basin, Aeration Basin #2, to a digester. There is no construction
required, it would just be valved differently than the present configuration, so I it is unclear why we would need an ATC
permit or why this would be considered a major permit modification. Please explain.
2. With regard to outfall 001, this outfall discharges both stormwater and cooling tower blowdown. It was previously
permitted under the sites, NPDES permit, then permitted under the sites stormwater permit. However the stormwater
permit requires DAK to certify that the outfall is "Stormwater Only", something that we cannot do. The stormwater
group said that the NPDES permit needed to be modified to include Outfall 001.
If you need additional information, please call me.

Subject: DAK Cedar Creek - NC0003719
Ms. Wike - I received your phone message Monday asking about permit requirements to convert an aeration basin into
a digester. If not already done, please share your intentions with the Fayetteville Regional Office (FRO). Because this is a
major modification to your treatment system, you will need to:
1. Submit an application requesting a "major modification" and appropriate fees (see our website).
2. Submit an application for Authorization to Construct (A to C) permit, including plans and specification, to
DWQ's Construction Grants and Loans (CG&L).
3. After construction but before operating new facilities, submit an Engineer's Certification form testifying that
construction was conducted in accord with plans & specs, the NPDES permit, and the A to C permit. This may
also require you to inform the FRO to schedule appropriate onsite inspections prior to discharge.
Finally, I understand that your Outfall 001 was incorrectly assumed to be stormwater, and we should therefore remove
it from Stormwater NCS000389 and reinstate it in the subject NPDES permit. Please confirm for me that Outfall 001 has
no stormwater component and is cooling water only. If so, we may consider this in the permit modification along with
the above -proposed changes.

.DA'<Request for Permit Modification
• In addition to renewing the penult, DAK requests that Outfall SW-1 be added to .
. the permit. Stormwater and non -contact cooling water are discharged through this
outfall. - The DMRs-for this outfall for January 2008-through-March 201-1—are......---.•.. -
included in this application package. Please note that di-n-butyl phathlate has
been consistently below the level of quantification. Lead and Nickel have either
been below the level of quantification or very nearly at the level of quantification
and well below the cutoff concentrations as defined in the old permit. DAK
Americas requests that the testing requirements for these parameters be dropped
from the permit.
The request to include Outfall SW-1 is necessary because it was not included
. when the permit was last renewed. At that time DENR decided to. have the
NPDES penimit include only the wastewateroutfall aiidinove the storniwatei-
outfalls from permit NC0003719 to ,the stormwater permit NCS000389. Under
the most recently issued permit for NCS000389, Outfall SW-1 was not included •
because it contains cooling tower blowdown, not just stormwater. In discussions
with Brian Lowther, he said that the department felt it best to include SW-1 in the
wastewater permit instead of in the stormwater permit. Joe Corporon advised to
DAK to request this modification when the -permit came up for renewal.
DAK will continue to test Outfall SW-1 according to the permit requirements
defined in permit No. NC0003719 -which expired on October 31, 2006 until.this
- • issue can be resolved.

Section D: Summary of Finding/Comments (Attach additional sheets' of narrative andchecklists as necessary)
This facility was found to be in compliance with NPDES Permit NC0003719. All units were in service. The
secondary clarifier generally maintained a sludge blanket level of 2 to 4 feet. On the day of this inspection,
the sludge blanket level was 2 feet. The 002 DMR for January 2011 was checked for errors in transposing
and. calculation. There were no errors found. DAK uses TBL as their commercial laboratory, and TBL
contracts out the aquatic toxicity to Meritech. The metals were sent from TBL to Element ONE for
analyses.
