4. Instream Data Summary
Instream monitoring may be required in certain situations, for example: 1) to verify model predictions when
model results for instream DO are within 1 mg/1 of instream standard at full permitted flow; 2) to verify
model predictions for outfall diffuser; 3) to provide data for future TMDL; 4) based on other instream
concerns. Instream monitoring may be conducted by the Permittee, and there are also Monitoring
Coalitions established in several basins that conduct instream sampling for the Permittee (in which case
instream monitoring is waived in the permit as long as coalition membership is maintained).
If applicable, summarize any instream data and what instream monitoring will be proposed for this permit
action:
The current permit requires instream monitoring for dissolved oxygen (DO), temperature, fecal coliform,
and conductivity upstream and downstream of the primary outfall. The Permittee is a member of the Upper
Cape Fear River Association (UCFRA) and the current permit includes a waiver based on this membership.
Instream data were reviewed from the two UCFRA for monitoring stations, upstream (B5685000) and
downstream (B5820000) of the outfall, from January 2016 through December 2019. Average monthly and
maximum day of the required parameters are summarized in the table below.
No changes are proposed to the provisional waiver based on the Permittee's membership with UCFRA; and
nutrient reopener, special condition A. (3) will continue.

Student t-tests were run at a 95% confidence internal to analyze relationships between instream samples. A
statistically significant difference is determined when the t-test p-values result is <0.05.
Instream temperatures did not exceed 32 degrees Celsius during the period of data review, the temperature
differential exceeded 2.8 degrees Celsius on twenty-seven occasions, with a mean increase downstream of
0.22 degrees Celsius [per 15 A NCAC 02B .0211(18)]. However, the results of statistical analysis showed
no significant difference between upstream and downstream temperatures. The current monitoring
requirements and limits will continue.
Downstream DO levels were below 5 mg/L on thirteen occasions [per 15 A NCAC 02B .0211(6)]; and
upstream DO was below 5 mg/L on seven occasions. The mean difference in DO levels indicate a decrease
of 0.28 mg/L downstream. However, it was concluded that no statistically significant difference exists
between upstream and downstream DO. The current monitoring requirements and limits will continue.
Based on results of statistical analysis it was concluded that conductivity levels upstream and downstream
are significantly different with a mean increase of 17.8 umhos/cm downstream. The current permit includes
only monitoring is required for instream conductivity and will continue.
Is this facility a member of a Monitoring Coalition with waived instream monitoring (Y/N): Yes

5. Compliance Summary
Summarize the compliance record with permit effluent limits (past 5 years.)
The Permittee has received 25 notices of violation between January 1, 2015 and August 31, 2020 for
exceedances of daily maximum and monthly average permitted effluent limits. In January and March 2015
the facility reported a total of 7 violations daily maximum and monthly average effluent ammonia; and a
total of 3 violations for effluent total nitrogen. In 2015 a Special Order of Consent(SOC) agreement was
initiated in response to the Permittee's consistent non-compliance with the final effluent limits for Total
Nitrogen (TN) and Ammonia Nitrogen (NH3-N) which stipulated that Pilgrim's Progress would complete
activities to implement treatment upgrades to adequately treat wastewater. Interim limits were established
under the SOC which allowed less stringent final effluent limits for daily maximum and monthly average
TN and NH3-N from April 1 to October 31. Winter limits were not changed under the SOC.
In 2015 there were six effluent dissolved oxygen concentrations, six fecal coliform values, and two total
suspended solids concentrations reported in the DMRs which proceeded to notices of violation. In January
2016, the Permittee reported one day of total residual chlorine of 195µg/L which resulted in a notice of
violation. Since 2016, there have been no reported violations of permitted effluent limits; however, the
Permittee received one notice of frequency violation in July 2019 specified for fecal coliform.
Pilgrim's Progress completed an investigation of treatment units; a feasibility study for transferring
wastewater to the City of Sanford's wastewater treatment plant; and a Solids Management Plan. The SOC
expired on September 15, 2017 Pilgrim's Pride has remained in compliance with the current permit.
Summarize the compliance record with aquatic toxicity test limits and any second species test results (past
5 years): The facility passed 29 of 29 quarterly chronic toxicity tests January 2016 to January 2020.
Summarize the results from the most recent compliance inspection: The facility was last inspected for
compliance on 11/20/2018 during which the operators were found to be adding chlorine tablets in the
clarifier for the intended use of controlling excessive algal growth.Examination of the label confirmed that
the chlorine tablets are not to be used for treatment of algae in an industrial wastewater setting. The report
notes the tablets must be removed and an appropriate method of algae control could be utilized. Effluent at
the outfall had an apparent brown tint but was free of solids and foam.
With the exceptions mentioned above,the facility was found to be operating in compliance with the current
permit and upgrades completed during the SOC were operating as intended for additional TN removal.
6. Water Quality-Based Effluent Limitations (WQBELs)
Dilution and Mixing Zones
In accordance with 15A NCAC 2B.0206,the following streamflows are used for dilution considerations
for development of WQBELs: 1Q10 streamflow(acute Aquatic Life); 7Q10 streamflow(chronic Aquatic
Life;non-carcinogen HH); 30Q2 streamflow(aesthetics); annual average flow(carcinogen,HH).
If applicable, describe any other dilution factors considered(e.g., based on CORMIX model results):NA
If applicable, describe any mixing zones established in accordance with 15A NCAC 2B.0204(b): NA
Oxygen-Consuming Waste Limitations
Limitations for oxygen-consuming waste (e.g., BOD) are generally based on water quality modeling to
ensure protection of the instream dissolved oxygen (DO)water quality standard. Secondary TBEL limits
(e.g., BOD= 30 mg/1 for Municipals) may be appropriate if deemed more stringent based on dilution and
model results.
Page 5 of 11

DocuSign Envelope ID: D5FB5DE4-664B-4D81-B2BC-1EC69CA28D89
Ifpermit limits are more stringent than TBELs, describe how limits were developed: Limitations for BOD5,
Ammonia(NH3-N),and Dissolve Oxygen(DO)were defined in 1996 to meet waste load requirements.The
BOD5 and NH3-N limits in the current permit are more stringent that the federal effluent guidelines.
No changes are proposed.
Ammonia and Total Residual Chlorine Limitations
Limitations for ammonia are based on protection of aquatic life utilizing an ammonia chronic criterion of
1.0 mg/1(summer)and 1.8 mg/1(winter).Acute ammonia limits are derived from chronic criteria,utilizing
a multiplication factor of 3 for Municipals and a multiplication factor of 5 for Non-Municipals.
Limitations for Total Residual Chlorine (TRC) are based on the NC water quality standard for protection
of aquatic life (17 ug/1) and capped at 28 ug/1 (acute impacts). Due to analytical issues, all TRC values
reported below 50 ug/1 are considered compliant with their permit limit.
Describe any proposed changes to ammonia and/or TRC limits for this permit renewal: The current permit
sets a maximum of 28 ug/L for TRC. Seasonal limits for ammonia are currently 1.0 mg/L and 2.0 mg/L for
monthly average and daily maximum,respectively from April lto October 31; and 2.0 mg/L and 4.0 mg/L
for monthly average and daily maximum,respectively from November 1 to March 31.
TRC and ammonia limits were reviewed in the attached WLA and are consistent with the current limits.
No changes are proposed.
Reasonable Potential Analysis(RPA) for Toxicants
If applicable, conduct RPA analysis and complete information below.
The need for toxicant limits is based upon a demonstration of reasonable potential to exceed water quality
standards, a statistical evaluation that is conducted during every permit renewal utilizing the most recent
effluent data for each outfall. The RPA is conducted in accordance with 40 CFR 122.44 (d) (i). The NC
RPA procedure utilizes the following: 1) 95% Confidence Level/95% Probability; 2) assumption of zero
background; 3) use of '/2 detection limit for "less than" values; and 4) streamflows used for dilution
consideration based on 15A NCAC 2B.0206. Effective April 6, 2016, NC began implementation of
dissolved metals criteria in the RPA process in accordance with guidance titled NPDES Implementation of
Instream Dissolved Metals Standards,dated June 10,2016.
A reasonable potential analysis was conducted on effluent toxicant data collected between April 2016 and
October 2020. Pollutants of concern included toxicants with positive detections and associated water
quality standards/criteria. Based on this analysis, the following permitting actions are proposed for this
permit:
• Effluent Limit with Monitoring. The following parameters will receive a water quality-based
effluent limit(WQBEL)since they demonstrated a reasonable potential to exceed applicable water
quality standards/criteria: None
• Monitoring Only. The following parameters will receive a monitor-only requirement since they
did not demonstrate reasonable potential to exceed applicable water quality standards/criteria,but
the maximum predicted concentration was>50%of the allowable concentration:None
• No Limit or Monitoring: The following parameters will not receive a limit or monitoring, since
they did not demonstrate reasonable potential to exceed applicable water quality standards/criteria
and the maximum predicted concentration was <50% of the allowable concentration: Total
arsenic,phenols,chromium,copper,lead,nickel, selenium,zinc.
• See attached RPA report

DocuSign Envelope ID: D5FB5DE4-664B-4D81-B2BC-1EC69CA28D89
Toxicity Testing Limitations
Permit limits and monitoring requirements for Whole Effluent Toxicity (WET) have been established in
accordance with Division guidance (per WET Memo, 8/2/1999). Per WET guidance, all NPDES permits
issued to Major facilities or any facility discharging "complex" wastewater (contains anything other than
domestic waste)will contain appropriate WET limits and monitoring requirements,with several exceptions.
The State has received prior EPA approval to use an Alternative WET Test Procedure in NPDES permits,
using single concentration screening tests,with multiple dilution follow-up upon a test failure.
Describe proposed toxicity test requirement: The current permit requires quarterly monitoring and testing
for chronic toxicity at effluent concentration of 9%.No changes are proposed
Mercury Statewide TMDL Evaluation
There is a statewide TMDL for mercury approved by EPA in 2012. The TMDL target was to comply with
EPA's mercury fish tissue criteria(0.3 mg/kg)for human health protection.The TMDL established a waste
load allocation for point sources of 37 kg/year(81 lb/year) and is applicable to municipals and industrial
facilities with known mercury discharges.Given the small contribution of mercury from point sources(-2%
of total load), the TMDL emphasizes mercury minimization plans (MMPs) for point source control.
Municipal facilities>2 MGD and discharging quantifiable levels of mercury(>1 ng/1)will receive an MMP
requirement. Industrials are evaluated on a case-by-case basis, depending if mercury is a pollutant of
concern. Effluent limits may also be added if annual average effluent concentrations exceed the WQBEL
value (based on the NC WQS of 12 ng/1)and/or if any individual value exceeds a TBEL value of 47 ng/1
Describe proposed permit actions based on mercury evaluation: The permittee is required to perform at
least one effluent mercury analysis using EPA Method 1631E(low-level mercury analysis)within the first
six months of the effective date of the reissued permit.Results will be submitted using the eDMR reporting
system.The special condition notes the permit can be reopened and modified to include additional mercury
monitoring and limitations if effluent mercury shows reasonable potential to exceed water quality standards.
Other TMDL/Nutrient Management Strategy Considerations
If applicable, describe any other TMDLs/Nutrient Management Strategies and their implementation
within this permit:
Per 15A NCAC 02B.0508, the minimum requirements for facilities classified as SIC 2000-2199, and
discharge more than 50,000 gpd to the Cape Fear River Basin,include quarterly monitoring of effluent total
nitrogen (NO3 +NO2 + TKN) and phosphorous (P). The current permit includes monthly monitoring of
effluent phosphorous total nitrogen which were provisionally waived due to membership on the UCFRMA.
Additional Nutrient Monitoring Requirements were implemented per 15A NCAC 02H.0211(b)(1) and
02H.0114(a) which stipulates the Director of DWR to reopen a permit to require supplemental nutrient
monitoring of the discharge. Monitoring for total phosphorous (TP), total nitrogen (TN), total Kjeldahl
nitrogen (TKN), and Nitrate Nitrite (NO3+NO2) nitrogen increased to weekly starting April 1, 2019 and
lasting through December 31,2020.Monitoring results shall be submitted in the DMRs.Nutrient monitoring
shall revert back to previous requirements starting January 1,2021.
No changes are proposed, the current monitoring reopener will continue until expiration and nutrient re-
opener special condition A. (3)will be included in new permit.

7. Technology-Based Effluent Limitations (TBELs)
Describe what this facility produces: Live poultry processing and poultry products
List the federal effluent limitations guideline(ELG)for this facility:Federal guideline 40 CFR 432 Subpart
K First Processing and Subpart L Poultry Further Processing are applicable to the facility which is an
existing source, discharges process wastewater resulting from the slaughter of poultry, further processing,
and rendering of material. The effluent limits in both sub-categories, summarized below,are equivalent.
40 CFR 432 Subpart K/L Effluent Limits
Parameter Maximum Daily' I Maximum Monthly Average'
BPT
Ammonia(as N) 8.0 4.0

If the ELG is based on production or flow, document how the average production/flow value was calculated:
Subpart K applies to any existing point source that slaughters more than 100 million pounds per year
(LWK), and Subpart L applies to an existing point source in this category which processes more than 7
million pounds per year (finished product). Per the 2016 renewal application, facility receives and
slaughters approximately 888,251 pounds/day of live birds; and produces approximately 760,000 pounds/
day of finished product.Based on the production rate of approximately 324 million pounds per year of live
birds slaughtered and approximately 277 million pounds per year of finished production,the facility meets
the criteria specified in both Subpart K and L. The ELGs are based on pollutant concentration and applied
to the combined waste streams.
If any limits are based on best professional judgement(BPJ), describe development:No
Document any TBELs that are more stringent than WQBELs:NA
Document any TBELs that are less stringent than previous permit:NA

DocuSign Envelope ID: D5FB5DE4-664B-4D81-B2BC-1EC69CA28D89
8. Antidegradation Review (New/Expanding Discharge):
The objective of an antidegradation review is to ensure that a new or increased pollutant loading will not
degrade water quality. Permitting actions for new or expanding discharges require an antidegradation
review in accordance with 15A NCAC 2B.0201. Each applicant for a new/expanding NPDES permit must
document an effort to consider non-discharge alternatives per 15A NCAC 2H.0105(c)(2). In all cases,
existing instream water uses and the level of water quality necessary to protect the existing use is maintained
and protected.
If applicable, describe the results of the antidegradation review, including the Engineering Alternatives
Analysis (EAA) and any water quality modeling results:NA
9. Antibacksliding Review:
Sections 402(o)(2) and 303(d)(4) of the CWA and federal regulations at 40 CFR 122.44(1) prohibit
backsliding of effluent limitations in NPDES permits. These provisions require effluent limitations in a
reissued permit to be as stringent as those in the previous permit,with some exceptions where limitations
may be relaxed(e.g.,based on new information,increases in production may warrant less stringent TBEL
limits,or WQBELs may be less stringent based on updated RPA or dilution).
Are any effluent limitations less stringent than previous permit(YES/NO):NO
If YES, confirm that antibacksliding provisions are not violated:NA
10. Monitoring Requirements
Monitoring frequencies for NPDES permitting are established in accordance with the following regulations
and guidance: 1) State Regulation for Surface Water Monitoring, 15A NCAC 2B.0500; 2) NPDES
Guidance,Monitoring Frequency for Toxic Substances(7/15/2010 Memo);3)NPDES Guidance,Reduced
Monitoring Frequencies for Facilities with Superior Compliance(10/22/2012 Memo);4)Best Professional
Judgement (BPJ). Per US EPA (Interim Guidance, 1996), monitoring requirements are not considered
effluent limitations under Section 402(o) of the Clean Water Act, and therefore anti-backsliding
prohibitions would not be triggered by reductions in monitoring frequencies.
For instream monitoring,refer to Section 4.
11. Electronic Reporting Requirements
The US EPA NPDES Electronic Reporting Rule was finalized on December 21,2015. Effective December
21, 2016, NPDES regulated facilities are required to submit Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMRs)
electronically. While NPDES regulated facilities would initially be required to submit additional NPDES
reports electronically effective December 21, 2020, EPA is proposing to extend this deadline from
December 21,2020,to December 21,2025. This permit contains the requirements for electronic reporting,
consistent with Federal requirements. The current compliance date will be extended if the implementation
date is extended as a final regulation change in the federal register.

3) Pretreatment Facilities - PERCS will need a copy of the
Dissolved to Total Metal Calculator spreadsheet and the
RPA sheet along with the Final Permit. Pretreatment
Facilities are required to renew their Headwords Analysis
after renewal of their permits. Since all their metal
allocations are likely to change PERCS needs to see any
new metal permit limits and the allowable allocations for
the dissolved metals to assess Maximum Allowable
Headworks Loading (MAHL) numbers for each metal
based on the Combined Hardness values used in the
permit writers RPA calculations.
4) For Cadmium, Lead, Nickel, Chromium and Beryllium, if
all the effluent sampling data for the last three to five
years shows the pollutant at concentrations less than the
Practical Quantitative Level (PQL), it is not likely a limit or
monitoring will be put in the permit. However, if the
estimated NPDES permit limit is less than the Practical
Quantitative Limit (particularly, Cadmium and Lead) and
the pollutant is believed to be present, to assess
compliance with the new standards and for future permit
limit development, monitoring for the pollutant will be
required. If the facility is monitoring for the pollutant in
its Pretreatment LTMP, no monitoring is needed in the
permit.

General Information on the Reasonable Potential Analysis (RPA)
The RPA process itself did not change as the result of the new metals standards.However,application of
the dissolved and hardness-dependent standards requires additional consideration in order to establish the
numeric standard for each metal of concern of each individual discharge.
The hardness-based standards require some knowledge of the effluent and instream(upstream)hardness
and so must be calculated case-by-case for each discharge.
Metals limits must be expressed as `total recoverable' metals in accordance with 40 CFR 122.45(c). The
discharge-specific standards must be converted to the equivalent total values for use in the RPA
calculations. We will generally rely on default translator values developed for each metal(more on that
below),but it is also possible to consider case-specific translators developed in accordance with
established methodology.
RPA Permitting Guidance/WQBELs for Hardness-Dependent Metals -Freshwater
The RPA is designed to predict the maximum likely effluent concentrations for each metal of concern,
based on recent effluent data,and calculate the allowable effluent concentrations,based on applicable
standards and the critical low-flow values for the receiving stream.
If the maximum predicted value is greater than the maximum allowed value (chronic or acute),the
discharge has reasonable potential to exceed the standard,which warrants a permit limit in most cases. If
monitoring for a particular pollutant indicates that the pollutant is not present(i.e. consistently below
detection level),then the Division may remove the monitoring requirement in the reissued permit.
1. To perform a RPA on the Freshwater hardness-dependent metals the Permit Writer compiles the
following information:
• Critical low flow of the receiving stream, 7Q10(the spreadsheet automatically calculates
the 1Q10 using the formula 1Q10=0.843 (s7Q10,cfs)0.993
• Effluent hardness and upstream hardness, site-specific data is preferred
• Permitted flow
• Receiving stream classification
2. In order to establish the numeric standard for each hardness-dependent metal of concern and for
each individual discharge,the Permit Writer must first determine what effluent and instream
(upstream)hardness values to use in the equations.
The permit writer reviews DMR's, Effluent Pollutant Scans,and Toxicity Test results for any
hardness data and contacts the Permittee to see if any additional data is available for instream
hardness values,upstream of the discharge.
If no hardness data is available,the permit writer may choose to do an initial evaluation using a
default hardness of 25 mg/L(CaCO3 or(Ca+Mg)).Minimum and maximum limits on the
hardness value used for water quality calculations are 25 mg/L and 400 mg/L,respectively.
If the use of a default hardness value results in a hardness-dependent metal showing reasonable
potential,the permit writer contacts the Permittee and requests 5 site-specific effluent and
upstream hardness samples over a period of one week. The RPA is rerun using the new data.

Permit No. NC0072575
The overall hardness value used in the water quality calculations is calculated as follows:
Combined Hardness(chronic)
=(Permitted Flow,cfs*Avg. Effluent Hardness,mg/L)+ (s7Q10, cfs *Avg. Upstream Hardness,mg/L)
(Permitted Flow,cfs+s7Q10,cfs)
The Combined Hardness for acute is the same but the calculation uses the 1Q10 flow.
3. The permit writer converts the numeric standard for each metal of concern to a total recoverable
metal,using the EPA Default Partition Coefficients(DPCs)or site-specific translators,if any
have been developed using federally approved methodology.
EPA default partition coefficients or the "Fraction Dissolved"converts the value for
dissolved metal at laboratory conditions to total recoverable metal at in-stream
ambient conditions. This factor is calculated using the linear partition coefficients
found in The Metals Translator: Guidance for Calculating a Total Recoverable
Permit Limit from a Dissolved Criterion(EPA 823-B-96-007,June 1996)and the
equation:
Cdiss = 1
Ctotal 1 + { [Kpo] [SS(11 [101 }
Where:
ss=in-stream suspended solids concentration [mg/1],minimum of 10 mg/L used,
and
Kpo and a=constants that express the equilibrium relationship between dissolved
and adsorbed forms of metals.A list of constants used for each hardness-dependent
metal can also be found in the RPA program under a sheet labeled DPCs.
4. The numeric standard for each metal of concern is divided by the default partition coefficient(or
site-specific translator)to obtain a Total Recoverable Metal at ambient conditions.
In some cases,where an EPA default partition coefficient translator does not exist(ie. silver),the
dissolved numeric standard for each metal of concern is divided by the EPA conversion factor to
obtain a Total Recoverable Metal at ambient conditions.This method presumes that the metal is
dissolved to the same extent as it was during EPA's criteria development for metals. For more
information on conversion factors see the June, 1996 EPA Translator Guidance Document.
5. The RPA spreadsheet uses a mass balance equation to determine the total allowable concentration
(permit limits) for each pollutant using the following equation:
Ca= (s7Q10+ Qw) (Cwqs)—(s7Q10) (Cb)
Qw
Where: Ca=allowable effluent concentration(µg/L or mg/L)
Cwqs=NC Water Quality Standard or federal criteria(µg/L or mg/L)
Cb=background concentration: assume zero for all toxicants except NH3* (µg/L or mg/L)
Qw=permitted effluent flow(cfs,match s7Q10)
s7Q10=summer low flow used to protect aquatic life from chronic toxicity and human
health through the consumption of water,fish,and shellfish from noncarcinogens(cfs)
* Discussions are on-going with EPA on how best to address background concentrations
Flows other than s7Q10 may be incorporated as applicable:
1Q10=used in the equation to protect aquatic life from acute toxicity

Permit No. NC0072575
QA=used in the equation to protect human health through the consumption of water,
fish,and shellfish from carcinogens
30Q2=used in the equation to protect aesthetic quality
6. The permit writer enters the most recent 2-3 years of effluent data for each pollutant of concern.
Data entered must have been taken within four and one-half years prior to the date of the permit
application(40 CFR 122.21). The RPA spreadsheet estimates the 95th percentile upper
concentration of each pollutant. The Predicted Max concentrations are compared to the Total
allowable concentrations to determine if a permit limit is necessary.If the predicted max exceeds
the acute or chronic Total allowable concentrations,the discharge is considered to show
reasonable potential to violate the water quality standard,and a permit limit(Total allowable
concentration)is included in the permit in accordance with the U.S. EPA Technical Support
Document for Water Quality-Based Toxics Control published in 1991.
7. When appropriate,permit writers develop facility specific compliance schedules in accordance
with the EPA Headquarters Memo dated May 10,2007 from James Hanlon to Alexis Strauss on
40 CFR 122.47 Compliance Schedule Requirements.
8. The Total Chromium NC WQS was removed and replaced with trivalent chromium and
hexavalent chromium Water Quality Standards.As a cost savings measure,total chromium data
results may be used as a conservative surrogate in cases where there are no analytical results
based on chromium III or VI. In these cases,the projected maximum concentration(95th%)for
total chromium will be compared against water quality standards for chromium III and
chromium VI.
9. Effluent hardness sampling and instream hardness sampling,upstream of the discharge,are
inserted into all permits with facilities monitoring for hardness-dependent metals to ensure the
accuracy of the permit limits and to build a more robust hardness dataset.
10. Hardness and flow values used in the Reasonable Potential Analysis for this permit included:
Parameter Value Comments(Data Source)
Average Effluent Hardness(mg/L) 400.00 Maximum value, average effluent
[Total as,CaCO3 or(Ca+Mg)] hardness exceeds 400 mg/L
Average Upstream Hardness(mg/L) 30.3 Hardness data provided by

NPDES APPLICATION COMPLETENESS REVIEWS
FOLLOWING THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF THE
NPDES APPLICATIONS AND PROGRAM UPDATES RULE
On February 12, 2019,the EPA finalized revisions to the application requirements at 40 CFR 122.21 in the NPDES
Applications and Program Updates Rule.The final rule became effective on June 12, 2019. On and after this
date, applicants for EPA-issued permits are required to meet the new application requirements through
completion of updated application forms that conform to the final rule.
During the transition to the updated forms, the EPA anticipates that applicants may inadvertently complete and
submit applications using the older outdated forms for a period after the June 12, 2019 effective date. If this
occurs, applications submitted using the outdated Forms 1 and 2A will not conform to the regulatory
requirements for applications at 40 CFR 122.21 and should be deemed incomplete by the EPA Regions. (Note
that the final rule did not include regulatory changes pertaining to the form requirements for Forms 2B, 2C', 2D,
2E, and 2F;therefore, submission of the outdated forms may be deemed complete at the EPA Regions'
discretion.)
Requiring applicants to transfer information from the outdated forms and resubmit the new updated forms may
be time-consuming and costly. In lieu of transferring the information and resubmitting the updated forms, EPA
Regions may consider issuing a "Notice of Incomplete Application"to the applicant requesting only the missing
information.Any information provided by the applicant in response to the notice must include the certification
statement from 40 CFR 122.22(d)and be signed in accordance with 40 CFR 122.22(a).
The EPA Regions have the discretion to determine the period of time for which they will allow applicants to
submit the outdated forms along with the missing information to accommodate applicants that may have begun
the permit application process prior to the availability of the updated forms; however, it is expected that this
practice will only be allowed for a short period of time (perhaps six months), after which the EPA Regions should
require that all applications be submitted using the updated forms.
Permittees to which the aforementioned transition period applies may complete and submit the tables
provided on Attachment A to the North Carolina DEQ's Division of Water Resources as an addendum to their
NPDES renewal applications.
These addenda only apply to facilities submitting Forms 1 and/or 2A:
Applicants submitting a renewal application addendum for Form 1(Non-POTW, private facilities)
should fill out Table 1,found on page 2 of this document&sign and submit document.
Submit completed files to the following address:
NC DEQ/Division of Water Resources/Complex NPDES Permitting Unit

Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617
Table 1.EPA Application Form 1 Missing Information
1 The final rule clarified that existing data may be used, if available,in lieu of sampling done solely for the purpose of the
application,provided that sampling was performed, collected, and analyzed no more than 4.5 years prior to submission.

EPA I.D.NUMBER(copy from Iron I of Form I) OUTFALL NUMBER
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3 OF FORM 2-C NC0072575 001
PART C- If you are a primary industry and this outfall contains process wastewater,refer to Table 2c-2 in the instructions to determine which of the GC/MS fractions you must test for.Mark"X"in column 2-a for all such GC/MS
fractions that apply to your industry and for ALL toxic metals,cyanides,and total phenols. If you are not required to mark column 2-a(secondary industries, nonprocess wastewater outfalls, and nonrequired GCIMS
fractions),mark"X"in column 2-b for each pollutant you know or have reason to believe is present.Mark"X"in column 2-c for each pollutant you believe is absent. If you mark column 2a for any pollutant,you must
provide the results of at least one analysis for that pollutant.If you mark column 2b for any pollutant,you must provide the results of at least one analysis for that pollutant if you know or have reason to believe it will be
discharged in concentrations of 10 ppb or greater.If you mark column 2b for acrolein,acrylonitrile.2,4 dinitrophenol,or 2-methyl-4,6 dinitrophenol,you must provide the results of at least one analysis for each of these
pollutants which you know or have reason to believe that you discharge in concentrations of 100 ppb or greater.Otherwise,for pollutants for which you mark column 2b,you must either submit at least one analysis or
briefly describe the reasons the pollutant is expected to be discharged. Note that there are 7 pages to this part; please review each carefully. Complete one table(all 7 pages)for each outfall.See instructions for
additional details and requirements.

Poultry Processing Plant
Sanford, Lee County, North Carolina
NPDES Permit No.: NC0072575
Sludge Management Plan
Pilgrim's Pride Corporation entered into a Special Order By Consent EMC SOC No. S 15-002 (Order)
on November 13, 2015. Per Item 2.b.(3.) of the Order, Pilgrim's is required to develop a Solids
Management Plan within 180 days of November 13, 2015.
Pilgrim's operates a poultry processing plant in Sanford, North Carolina. This Facility is located at 484
Zimmerman Road in Sanford, Lee County, North Carolina 27330. This Facility receives live chickens
and chicken parts and processes them into various chicken meat products. Wastewater produced in
poultry processing operations, other ancillary operations (i.e., vehicle and equipment maintenance and
washing, plant sanitation, boiler and condenser blowdown, etc.) and storm water collected from "high
impact" areas is treated in an advanced onsite wastewater treatment system, which includes the
following primary treatment processes:
• Covered anaerobic treatment lagoon with biogas collection and flaring;
• Two-stage anoxic-aerobic treatment system with integral nitrification/denitrification;
• Clarification;
• Tertiary filtration; and
• Disinfection and dechlorination.
According to Facility records, the average daily volume of wastewater treated in the advanced
wastewater treatment system from 2014 through 2015 was approximately 0.94 million gallons per day
(MGD). A majority of the effluent from the advanced wastewater treatment system is discharged to the
Deep River under NPDES Permit No. NC0072575. Minor portions of the treated effluent are returned
to the Plant for reuse purposes or managed via a spray irrigation/land application system (LAS)
permitted under a separate Non-Discharge Land Application System Permit, Permit No. WQ0028653.
Sanitary wastewater from the Facility is also treated and disposed via the permitted LAS.
Waste biosolids from the activated sludge treatment system will be dewatered and managed/disposed
offsite. Specifically, waste biosolids from the activated sludge treatment system will be transferred to a
100,000 gallon waste biosolids storage tank by two submersible waste activated sludge pumps. The
waste biosolids storage tank will be provided for storage and thickening of the biosolids before being
transferred to the belt filter press for mechanical dewatering. Specifically, the 1.0 meter BDP belt filter
press will be rated at 150 gpm of biosolids flow capacity and 1,500 pounds per hour biosolids loading
capacity (dry basis) and is anticipated to be operated four hours per day to dewater a maximum biosolids
volume of 2,100 pounds of dry biosolids per day. The dewatered biosolids will then be disposed off-site
via landfilling.
The Solids Management Plan ' curre tly under development.

treatment operations.
Chlorine— Used for disinfection of treated effluent, reuse water and potable water supply
for plant and potentially other water treatment purposes.
Ferric Chloride - Can be used in process wastewater pretreatment and/or treatment
operations.
Ferric Sulfate - Can be used in process wastewater pretreatment and/or treatment
operations.
Nitric Acid —Component in certain plant and equipment sanitation and cleaning products
used at the Facility.

Sodium Bisulfite and similar sulfur compounds (e.g., sodium metabisulfite, sulfur
dioxide, etc.) can be used ahead of wastewater treatment systems to remove PAA,
hydrogen peroxide and/or residual chlorine and/or to remove residual chlorine from the
final effluent prior to discharge to surface water.
Sodium Hypochlorite — Component in certain plant and equipment sanitation and
cleaning products used at the Facility and can also be used to disinfect water and
wastewater streams.
Sodium Hydroxide - Component in certain plant and equipment sanitation and cleaning
products used at the Facility and for pH control in wastewater treatment operations.
Sulfuric Acid —Component of batteries for forklifts, etc. and can also be a component in
certain wastewater treatment chemicals.
The wastewater treatment systems at the Facility are expected to effectively
treat/remove the chemicals, "Hazardous Substances" listed above. Also, the current
NPDES permit for the Facility includes appropriate monitoring requirements (i.e.,
analysis) and/or limitations to ensure these "Hazardous Substances" are not
discharged to the receiving stream in harmful levels.
