RE: New Minette Textiles, Inc.
Application for Permit to Discharge
Dear Mr. Weaver:
ante
er
Enclosed please find the completed application for permit to disch
Textiles, Inc which is located in Grover North Carolina,
stewater for New Minette
Lat Purser & Associates, Inc. was placed as Receiver for New M'Iinette Textiles by the Cleveland County
Superior Court division on August 22., 1997. On June 11, 1998, the Mill shut down all operations due to
insufficient cash flow to allow further production. Since the Mill is still in Receivership and has not yet
been foreclosed on, the future operation of the Mill as an operating entity is uncertain, The hope is that the
Mill will be purchased by a company whose desire it is to reopen and once again operate the Mill and be a
vital part of the local Grover economy.
With that in mind, this application is being submitted by the date requested to ensure future owners of the
Mill are able to reopen and be permitted to discharge wastewater according the attached schedule and
application. Lat Purser & Associates, Inc. as Receiver will not be the authorized agent nor the party
responsible for the water treatment plant and the discharge of wastewater. In fact the responsible party is
yet to be determined, There remains a possibility that the Mill will not reopen at any time in the future,
thus negating any need for the permit for discharge of wastewater.
Should you have any questions regarding this application, please do not hesitate to contact me at (704)519-
4231.
Sincerely,
Lat Purser & Associates, Inc.

Dear Mr, Arneser:
The Division received a renewal application and renewal fee of $400 (check #1060) on
August 31, 1998. Although Lat Purser and Associates serves as the court -appointed receiver, you
are not an authorized representative of New Minette Textiles, and will not claim responsibility for
the wastewater discharge. Therefore, since there is still no owner designated for this facility, the
permit cannot be renewed at this time. As discussed by phone with Tom Belnick of the NPDES Unit,
you will need to request permit recision and closeout by the Mooresville Regional office (contact:
Mike Parker, [phone]).
Please note that the current permit expires on December 31, 1998. Operation of waste
treatment works or continuation of a surface water discharge after permit expiration would violate
NCGS 143-215.1 and could result in assessment of civil penalties of up to $10,000 per day. If
security staff still requires wastewater disposal facilities after permit expiration, we recommend
switching to portable toilets.

Rex,
I hope you're staying away from the snow out there. Could you help me
with this project? It's been hangingaround for well over a year and I
can't seem to shake it loose. I guess the, problem is that they've
closed down, we have a hard time figuring out who owns the placenow and
we don't have a rescission request. Would you agree with moving forward
to revoke or is there a better way?
- Dave
P.S. - I mentioned to Charles about the issuance letters needing to
contain the datewereceived the application.

All I havebeen told by the region not to mess with this permit in,
collecting 1999 missing annual fees. There is no in-house request from
the facility to rescind this permit. I talked to GT Chen about the need
for this permit, ( I think they also have at. leastone stormwater
permit), he says to revoke them for non. payment of the fees.
There are some ownership problems which probably need to be resolved
before we rescind. when. I asked MRO if they had done a close out
inspection on this facility, all 1 get is that they aren't going to
waste their time to do one.
I guess I need Rex's recommendation that the permits involved are no
longer needed and to remove the permits, per MRO, from our computer
systems.

PART IV EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The permittee. Mincttc Mills (MM). Inc,. has applied for permit
modification to have the subject permit reissued with tiered
limitations based on. effluent flow. The purpose of this
modification educe the permitted in -stream waste concentration,
which should result in eonsistont toxicity tct compliance. The
tiered. flow limits submitted in this modification request contains
five (5) different flows (see Part II, 1(a)) It is our
understanding, however, that subsequent negotiations with MM has
reduced the number of tiers to ,;=. 3, although this information has
yet to be received in this Office. A reduction in the number of
tiers is recommended, especially since thi facility has having
little difficulty in passingjecent toxicity. toot.
It is recommended the modification be approved upon concurrence
from the Technical Support Branch,

Subject: NPDES Permit Renewal
Permit No. NC0004235
New Minette Textiles
Cleveland County
As a followup to our phone conversation on August 5th, I am enclosing NPDES permit renewal
application material for the New Minette Textile facility. At this point, it is uncertain whether the
facility will reopen in the near future under different ownership. Please note that the subject permit
expires on December 31, 1998, and North Carolina General Statute 143.215.1(c) requires that an
application for permit renewal be filed at least 180 days prior to the expiration date. If the facility
plans to continue operations, your renewal package must be sent to the Division postmarked no later
than August 31, 1998.
If any wastewater discharge will occur after December 31, 1998 (or if continuation of the permit is
desired), the permit must not be allowed to expire. Operation of waste treatment works or
continuation of a discharge after permit expiration would violate NCGS 143-215.1 and could result
in assessment of civil penalties of up to $ 10,000 per day.
If all wastewater discharge has ceased at the subject facility and you wish to rescind this permit,
contact Robert Farmer of the Division's Compliance Enforcement Unit at [phone], extension
531. You may also contact the Mooresville Regional Office at [phone] to begin the recission
process.
Please use the enclosed checklist to complete your renewal package. If you have any questions,
please contact me at [phone], extension 543.

Subject: NPDES Draft Permit/Flow Modification Request
Permit No, NC0004235
New Minette Textiles
Cleveland County
In accordance with the modification request received on August 7, 1
forwarding herewith the su.bject. Draft NPDES permit,
The following changes have been made to the above referenced permit
for Lick Creek of 0.2 cfs, regulations from 40 CFR 410,42, Subpart D, and a
7000lbs/day were used in the calculation of the limits:
• The flow limit has been changed from 0.45 MGD to 0.20 MGD. Per agreem.entwith the facility
and the Division, tiered limits were not issued and the discharge flow of 0.2.0 MGD was deemed
sufficient. If a flow of higher than 0.20 MGD is required in the future,please submit another
permit modification request. At that. time, new effluent sheets will be drafted for the facility.
• The Chronic Toxicity test concentration will be reduced from. 78% to 61f.
• For discharge to Lick Branch, the limits are:

In addition, fecal counts are high in the effluent and consistently higher downs• 'cam than
upstream of the discharge. Please try to reduce the fecal counts, possibly by chlorinating the sanitary
discharge flow before it reaches the treatment plant. If fecal numbers are not reduced, a fecal limit
may be put in your permit at the next renewal.

Dlrtions.—For each parameter listed, complete the
information requested in each column in the units specified
according to the instructions given below.
Column I. —Enter the daily average value of the intake
water at the point it enters the facility. If intake water is
from more than one source, and enters the facility at
separate entry points, the value given in column 1 should be
weighted proportional to the quantity of flow contributed.
from each source. If water is treated before use, completion
of this column is not required (see instructions for column
2). Values of intake are not required for mining activities.
Column 2.—If all or part of intake water is treated before
use, provide values for total intake here instead of in
Column I. Also describe briefly in item 26 "additional
information," the type of treatment performed on intake
water (e,g., rapid sand filtration, coagulation, flocculation,
ion exchange, etc,) and the percent of intake water
contributing to this discharge that has been treated.
Column 3 —Supply daily average value for the days when
discharge is actually operating or is expected to be operat-
ing (a new discharge). Daily average values are to be com-
puted by weighting the daily value in proportion to the daily
flow. If a discharge occurs irregularly, the value supplied
in the column marked "Daily Average" should represent
an average for the average for the days the discharge actually
occurs. Average values are not to be supplied for p11,
specific conductance, and bacteriological parameters (e.g.,
coliform bacteria).
Columns 4 and 5.—Supply minimum and maximum value
observed (or expected for new discharge) over any one day
when the discharge is operating.
Column 6. —Specify the average frequency of analysis for
each parameter as number analyses per number of days (e.g.,
"3/7" is equivalent to three analyses performed every 7
days). If continuous, enter "CONT." When analyses are
conducted on more than one individual grab sample col-
lected during the same day, the analysis frequency should
reflect one analysis whose value is the average of the
individual grab sample measurements. Average frequency
should be based on an operating month.
Column 7, --Specify the number of analyses performed at
the average frequency specified in column 6, up to 365.
Column 8, —Specify sample type as follows:
G For grab sample (individual sample collected in Tess
than 15 minutes).
r composite sample "#" is to be replaced by tl,c
average number of hours over which the conipis ite
sample was collected. Composite samples arr com-
binations of individual samples obtained at intervAh,
over a time period. Either the volume of each in-
dividual sample is directly proportional to discharge
flow rates or the sampling interval (for constant -
volume samples) is inversely proportional to ttk
flow rates over the time period used to produce ?he
composite.
NA If "C©NT" was entered in column 6.
Analytical methods., —Appendix A contains all parameters
with their reporting levels, test descriptions, and references.
The parameter values can be determined either by use of erne
of the standard analytical methods as described in table A or
by methods previously approved by the EPA Regir.uci
Administrator or Director of a federally approved State
program (or their authorized representatives) who... �ta�
jurisdiction over the State in which the discharge occurs If
the test used is not one shown in table A, the test nroo dury
should be referenced in "Remarks" or on a separate slicer, 11
values are determined to be less than the detectable limit tJ'
determined by referenced standard analytical tet;hni,tur,
and/or instrurnent manufacturer's literature), specify "CI
(value of detectable limit)" in the appropriate space. i
example, if the detectable limit is .005 mg/1 and quantaes
of less than this are determined, specify "LT .005," Do nui
enter descriptors such as "NIL," "TRACE," "NEG," etc..
for this purpose. If it is your reasoned judgement that one or
more of the required parameters' is not present in the initial
untreated or treated process water and/or the discharge.
enter an "A" (meaning "absent") in the appropriate space.
In order for values reported to be representative, it is
recommended that they be based on from at least five to
seven analyses of composite samples (if applicable). Each of
the composite samples should be obtained by compositing
frequent samples in proportion to flow over an 'operating
day. Samples should be taken during period of maximum
production, if possible, If samples are taken at periods of
less than maximum production, state in "Remarks" the
percent of maximum production that was obtained during
the sampling period.

Attachment A"
Minette Mills is requesting the Pass/Fail dilution rates for chronic toxicity analysis be based on
the current 7Q10 standard of 0.20 on an increasing flow standard of 0.05 MGD increasing 0.1
MGD increments to a maximum daily discharge rate of 0.45 MGD, Outlined below are the
proposed dilution rates:

Additionally, Minette Mills requests the tier effluent limitations and monitoring frequencies be
issued in an ascending manner in relation to flow. Once the monthly flow average limitation is
exceeded, the next increment/tier standard is implemented..

STANDARD CONDITIONS FOR NPDES PERMITS
SECTION, A. DEFINJTIQNS
1. Permit, Issuing Authority
The Director of the Division of Environmental Management.
2. DEM or Division
Means the Division of Environmental Management, Department ofEnvtronment, Health and
Natural Resources.
3. EMC
Used herein means the North Carolina Environmental Management Commission.
4. Act or "the Act".
The Federal Water Pollution Control Act, also known as the Clean ''rater Act, as amended,
USC 1251, et. seq.
Mass/Dkv 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 sampled
and measured, divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during
such 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 "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 sampled 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 identified as "Weekly Average"
in Part I of the permit.
c. The "maximum daily discharge" is the total mass (weight) of a pollutant discharged during
a calendar day. If only one sample is taken during any calendar day the weight of pollutant
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 the total mass of all daily discharges sampled
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 of the year and then dividing this sum by the number of days the tests were
reported. This limitation is defined as "Annual Average" in. Part 1 of the permit.

Part II
Page 2 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 sampled 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 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 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" 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 daily discharges sampled and/or measured 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. If only one sarnple is taken during any calendar day the concentration of
pollutant calculated from it is the "Maximum Daily Concentration". It is identified as
'Daily Maximum" under "Other Limits" in Part I of the permit.
d. The "average annual concentration," other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the 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 arithmetic mean (weighted by flow
value) of all the samples collected during that calendar day . The average yearly count for
fecal coliform bacteria is the geometric mean of the counts for samples collected during a
calendar year. This limitation is identified as "Annual Average" under "Other 1 imits" in
Part I of the permit.
e. The "daily average concentration" (for dissolved oxygen) is the minimum allowable amount
of dissolved oxygen required to be available in the effluent prior to discharge averaged
over a calendar day. If only one dissolved oxygen sample is taken over a calendar day, the
sample is considered to be the "daily average concentration" for the discharge. It is
identified as "daily average" in the text of Part J.
f. The "quarterly average concentration" is the average of all samples taken over a calendar
quarter. It is identified as "Quarterly Average Limitation" in the text of Part I of the permit.
g. A calendar quarter is defined as one of the following distinct periods: January through
March, April through June, July through September, and October through December.

Part II
Page 3 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.
c. A "continuous flow measurement" is a measure of discharge flow from the facility which
occurs continually without interruption throughout the operating hours of the facility. Flow
shall be monitored continually except for the infrequent times when there may be no flow
or for infrequent maintenance activities on the flow device.
S. Types of Samples
a, Composite Sample: A composite sample shall consist of:
(1) a series of grab samples collected at equal time intervals over a 24 hour period of
discharge and combined proportional to the rate of flow measured at the time of
individual sample collection, or
(2) a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24 hour period with the time
intervals between samples determined by a preset number of gallons passing the
sampling point. Flow measurement between sample intervals shall be determined by
use of a flow recorder and totalizer, and the present gallon interval between sample
collection fixed at no greater than 1/24 of the expected total daily flow at the treatment
system, or
(3) a single, continuous sample collected over a 24 hour period proportional to the rate of
flow.
In accordance with (I) above, the time interval between influent grab samples shall be no
greater than once per hour, and the time interval between effluent grab samples shall be no
greater than once per hour except at wastewater treatment systems having a detention time
of greater than 24 hours. In such cases, effluent grab samples may be collected at time
intervals evenly spaced over the 24 hour period which are equal in number of hours to the
detention time of the system in number of days. However, in no case may the time interval
between effluent grab samples be greater than six (6) hours nor the number of samples less
than four (4) during a 24 hour sampling period.
b. Grab Sample: Grab samples are individual samples collected over a period of time not
exceeding 15 minutes; the grab sample can be taken manually. Grab samples must be
representative of the discharge or the receiving waters.
9. Calculation of Meanas
a Arithmetic Mean: The arithmetic mean of any set of values is the summation of the
individual values divided by the number of individual values.
b. Geometric Mean: The geometric mean of any set of values is the Nth root of the product of
the individual values where N is equal to the number of individual values. The geometric
mean is equivalent to the antilog of the arithmetic mean of the logarithms of the individual
values. For purposes of calculating the geometric mean, values of zero (0) shall be
considered to be one (1).

Part ll
Page 4 of 14
c. Weighted by Flow Value: Weighted by flow value means the summation of each
concentration times its respective flow divided by the summation of the respective flows.
10. Calendar lay
A calendar day is defined as the period from midnight of one day until midnight of the next
day. However, for purposes of this permit, any consecutive 24-hour period that reasonably
represents the calendar day may be used for sampling.
11. Hazardous Substance
A hazardous substance means any substance designated under 40 'FR Part 1:16 pursuant to
Section 311 of the Clean Water Act.
12. Toxic Pollutant
A toxic pollutant is any pollutant listed as toxic under Section 307(a)(1) of the Clean Water Act.

4. Bypassing of Treatment Facilities
a. Definitions
it would have been
compliance with the
(1) "Bypass" means the known diversion of waste streams from any portion of a treatment
facility including the collection system, which is not a designed or established or
operating mode for the facility.
(2) "Severe property damage" means substantial physical damage to property, damage to
the treatment facilities which causes them to become inoperable, or substantial and
permanent loss of natural resources which can reasonably be expected to occur in the
absence of a bypass. Severe property damage does not mean economic loss caused by
delays in production.
b. Bypass not exceeding limitations.
The permittee may allow any bypass to occur which does not cause effluent limitations to
be exceeded, but only if it also is for essential maintenance to assure efficient operation.
These bypasses are not subject to the provisions of Paragraphs c. and d. of this section.
c. Notice
(1) Anticipated bypass. If the permittee knows in advance of the need for a bypass, it
shall submit prior notice, if possible at least ten days before the date of the bypass;
including an evaluation of the anticipated quality and affect of the bypass.
(2) Unanticipated bypass. The permittee shall submit notice of an unanticipated bypass as
required in Part II, E. 6. of this permit. (24 hour notice).
d. Prohibition of Bypass
(1) Bypass is prohibited and the Permit Issuing Authority may take enforcement action
against a permittee for bypass, unless:
(A) Bypass was unavoidable to prevent loss of life, personal injury or severe property
damage;
(B) There were no feasible alternatives to the bypass, such as the use of auxiliary

(2) The Permit Issuing Authority may approve an anticipated bypass, after considering its
adverse affects, if the Permit Issuing Authority determines that it will meet the three
conditions listed above in Paragraph d. (1) of this section.
5. Upsets
a. Definition.
"Upset " means an exceptional incident in which there is unintentional and temporary
noncompliance with technology based permit effluent limitations because of factors
beyond the reasonable control of the permittee. An upset does not include noncompliance
to the extent caused by operational error, improperly designed treatment facilities,
inadequate treatment facilities, lack of preventive maintenance, or careless or improper
operation.
b. Effect of an upset.
An upset constitutes an affirmative defense to an action brought for noncompliance with
such technology based permit effluent limitations if the requirements of paragraph c. of this
condition are met. No determination made during administrative review of claims that
noncompliance was caused by upset, and before an action for noncompliance, is final
administrative action subject to judicial review.
c. Conditions necessary for a demonstration of upset.
A permittee who wishes to establish the affirmative defense of upset shall demonstrate,
through properly signed, contemporaneous operating logs, or other relevant evidence that:
(1) An upset occurred and that the permittee can identify the cause(s) of the upset;
(2) The permittee facility was at the time being properly operated; and
(3) The permittee submitted notice of the upset as required in Part 11, E. 6. (b) (B) of this

reflect the eventual removal the Grover Industries wastewater flow.
The relocation and removal of the Grover Industries wastewater will
help reduce the instream waste concentration thereby helping the
facility pass toxicity tests. The previous staff report, dated
December 23, 1993, addressed only the relocation concerns. The
company has since requested the reduction in flow.
The WWTP serves two separate industries, New Minette Textiles
and Grover Industries. Both are textile operations: however, each
produces a different product. The actual wastewater
characteristics should not significantly change after Grover
Industries removes their portion of the wastewater flow.
It is unknown whether New Minette Textiles will be able to
achieve compliance at the present location even without the Grover
Industries wastewater as part of the wastestream. Pilot tests
indicate that the WWTP may be able to comply: however, the tests
were not conclusive.
The proposed relocation is just above the water intake for
Hoechst Celanese. Hoechst Celanese discharges just below their
water intake. Hoechst Celanese uses approximately 1.0 MGP.

Subject; Permit Modification
NPDES Permit NC0004235
New Minette Textiles, Inc.
Cleveland County
Dear Mr, "Tsui,
The Division is in receipt of an application for the modification of .NPDES Permit
NC0004235 submitted on June 23, 1994 by Buell Little. This permit application requests
that wastewater flow at the facility be reduced to 0.262 MGD. This office has been in
contact with Richard Br-idge.man of the Mooresville Regional Office regarding this permit
and has been advised of the terms of the Special Order of Consent (SOC) currently under
negotiation by New Minette Textiles,, In fight of the terms of the SOC, the Division will
proceed with processing of the application in the following manner:
Llp to this date, the subject permit was being modified for an extension to Buffalo
Creek. This modification involved treating both New Minette and Grover Industries waste
at the New Minette treatment plant, then using a sewer force main to transport the treated,
combined wastewater to Buffalo Creek, thus eliminating the current discharge to Lick
Branch. The revised permit reflecting these modifications was scheduled to issue on July
29, 1994. This will now be disregarded and the permit will be processed in accordance
with the recently received application. In accordance with the new application., the Division
will investigate the feasibility of New Minette discharging 0.262 MGD of treated waste to
either Lick Branch or Buffalo Creek and will issue a permit in accordance with the results
of this investigation. Please be advised that the application will be processed as a newly
received application requiring a staff report from the regional office and a revised wasteload
allocation from the Rapid Assessment Group. In addition, a new public notice and public
comment period will be required.
On September 8, 1993, the Division received an Authorization to Construct (ATC)
request for the construction of a force main to transport the treated New Minette And
Grover wastewater to Buffalo Creek, In a October 18, 1993 letter, the Division advised
New Minette that the request would. be held and issued concurrently with the issuance of
the modified permit. Given that the Grover Industries wastewater will not longer be a part
of a possible discharge to Buffalo Creek, the Division is returning the Authorization to
Construct package. The Division requests that the design of the force main be modified to
reflect the changes in waste flow and that a revised Authorization to Construct request be

submitted in a timely manner. This should be done to insure that all. SOC dates are met. In
addition, please note that facilities discharging over 100,000 gallons per day require a
$150.0() Authorization to Construct fee. Also note that the any pump station associated
with the force main must meet stand-by power requirements in accordance with T15A
'H.0124.
Enclosed please find two checks numbered 013695 and 013622 both for $4(K).00.
These were submitted as part of the recent permit modification request and will not be
needed given that the permit was already in house for modification when the request was
received. In addition to the checks are the plans and specifications submitted as part of the
ATC package and completed Short Form C applications. The Short Foram C application
forms and check #013622 were submitted as part of an unnecessary permit renewal
application..
1 am, by copy of this letter,. requesting that our Regional Office Supervisor prepare
a staff report and recommendations regarding this discharge. If you have any questions
regarding this application, please contact me at the number listed below.

CHRONIC TOXICITY PASS/FAIL PERMIT LIMIT (QRTRLY)
The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit chronic toxicity using test procedures outlined in:
1.) The North Carolina Ceriodaphnia chronic effluent bioassay procedure (North Carolina Chronic Bioassay
Procedure - Revised *September 1989) or subsequent versions.
The effluent concentration at which there may be no observable inhibition of reproduction or significant mortality
is _78% % (defined as treatment two in the North Carolina procedure document). The permit holder shall
perform gu— monitoring using this procedure to establish compliance with the permit condition. The first
test will be performed after thirty days from the effective date of this permit during the months of
MAR JUN SEP DEC Effluent sampling for this testing shall be performed at the NPDES permitted final
effluent discharge below all treatment processes.
All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit condition will be entered on the Effluent Discharge
Monitoring Form (MR-1) for the month in which it was performed, using the parameter code TGP3B..
Additionally, DEM Form AT-1 (original) is to be sent to the following address:
Attention: Environmental Sciences Branch
North Carolina Division of
Environmental Management
4401 Reedy Creek Road
Raleigh, N.C. 27607
Test data shall be complete and accurate and include all supporting chemical/physical measurements performed in
association with the toxicity tests, as well as all dose/response data. Total residual chlorine of the effluent toxicity
sample must be measured and reported if chlorine is employed for disinfection of the waste stream.
Should any single quarterly monitoring indicate a failure to meet specified limits, then monthly monitoring will
begin i.rnmediately until such time that a single test is passed. Upon passing, this monthly test requirement will
revert to quarterly in the months specified above.
Should any test data from this monitoring requirement or tests performed by the North Carolina Division of
Environmental Management indicate potential impacts to the receiving stream, this permit may be re -opened and
modified to include alternate monitoring requirements or limits.
NOTE: Failure to achieve test conditions as specified in the cited document, such as minimum control organism
survival and appropriate environmental controls, shall constitute an invalid test and will require immediate
retesting(within 30 days of initial monitoring event). Failure to submit suitable test results will. constitute
noncompliance with monitoring requirements.

Dear Mr. Little:
On September 8, 1993, the Division of Environmental Management(DEM) received a
completed request for the authorization to construct (A to C) for a pump station, force main and
discharge into Buffalo Creek in the Broad River Basin. Initially, the package was understood to be
an A to C package and was processed as such.
Normally when a facility wants to relocate theft discharge, the NPDES permit is modified
and issued and then the A to C is requested. In some instances they may occur somewhat
overlapping by the A to C being requested at the public notice period. However, in this case
because of the SOC request in house and the urgency of the situation DEM will hold onto the A to C
request until the NPDES permit is issued. At that time both will be issued simultaneously,
Presently, the request for the modification to the permit has been reviewed and found to need
some additional information. DEM needs a signed application with the modifications and a
modification fee of $400.00, Also with review of the A to C completed, the following are
comments to be addressed concerning the A to C. This facility does not have any stand by power
available as is required in the North Carolina Regulations 15A NCAC 2H .0124. Some form of
reliability must accompany the pump station to prevent overflow.
Again please accept our apologies for the misunderstanding of your request. Our review will
be prompt. However, please submit the information and money as soon as possible. If the
application and fee are not received by November 18, 1993 the A to C will be returned. If you
have any questions about what is requested or discussed please feel free to call Randy Kepler at
[phone].

Dear Mr. Little:
AGEMENT
Subject: NPDES Permit No, NC0004235
New Minette Textiles
Cleveland County, NC
Our records indicate that NPDES Permit No. NC0004235 was
issued on April 7, 1995 for the discharge of wastewater to the
surface waters of the State from your facility. The purpose of
this letter is to advise you of the importance of the Permit and
the liabilities in the event of failure to comply with the terms
and conditions of the Permit. If you have not already done so, it
is suggested that you thoroughly read the Permit. Of particular
importance are Pages 4-9.
Pages 4-9 set forth the effluent limitations and monitoring
requirements for your discharge(s). Your discharge(s) must not
exceed any of the limitations set forth. The section headed
"Monitoring Requirements" describes the measurement frequencies,
sample types and sampling locations. Upon commencement of your
discharge (or operation), you must initiate the required
monitoring. The monitoring results must be entered on the
reporting forms furnished to you by this Agency. If you have not
received these forms, they should be arriving shortly. If you fail
to receive the forms, please contact this Office as quickly as
possible. I have enclosed a sample of the "Effluent" reporting
form (DEM Form 'MR-1), plus instructions for completing the form.
It is imperative that all applicable parts be completed, and the
original and one copy be submitted as required.
The remaining Parts of the Permit set forth definitions,
general conditions and special conditions applicable to the
operation of wastewater treatment facilities and/or discharge(s).
The conditions include special reporting requirements in the event
of noncompliance, bypasses, treatment unit/process failures, etc.
Also addressed are requirements for a certified wastewater
treatment plant operator if you are operating wastewater treatment

facilities. Any changes in operation of wastewater treatment
facilities, quantity and type of wastewater being treated or
discharged, expansions and/or upgrading of wastewater treatment
facilities must be permitted or approved by this Agency.
Failure to comply with the terms and conditions of an NPDES
Permit subjects the Permittee to enforcement action pursuant to
Section 143-215.6 of the North Carolina General Statutes. A civil
penalty of up to $10,000 per violation (and/or criminal penalties)
may be assessed for such violations. If you find at any time that
you are unable to comply with the terms and conditions of the
Permit, you should contact this Office immediately. A Consent
Order may be necessary while pursuing action to obtain compliance.
As a final note, an NPDES Permit is normally issued for a
five-year period. Permits are not automatically renewed. Renewal
requests must be submitted to this Agency no later than 180 days
prior to expiration. Please make note of the expiration date of
your Permit. This date is set forth on Page 1 of the Permit. Also
note that NPDES Permits are not transferable. If you, as the
Permittee, cease to need this Permit, then you should request that
the Permit be rescinded.
As mentioned previously, the purpose of this letter is to
advise you of the importance of your NPDES Permit. Please read the
Permit and contact this Office at 704/663-1699 in Mooresville if
you have any questions or need clarification. We look forward to
providing any assistance.

PART IV EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The permittee, Minette Mills, Inc., has applied for permit
modification consisting of relocating the discharge to Buffalo
Creek. The relocation will help reduce the instream waste
concentration thereby helping the facility pass toxicity tests.
The WWTP serves two separate industries, Minette Mills and
Grover Industries. Both are textile operations, however, each
produces a different product. A majority of the wastewater appears
to be generated by Grover Industries.
The proposed relocation is just above the water intake for
Hoechst Celanese. Hoechst Celanese discharges just below their
water intake. Hoechst Celanese uses approximately 1.0 MGD.

Page Five
It is recommended the modification be approved upon
concurrence from the Technical Support Branch that the discharge
will not interfere with the downstream user or contribute to water
quality standard violations.

Management.
27626-0535
In a continuing effort to produce a discharge from our wastewater
treatment plant that will be in compliance with. our NPDES Permit, espec
regarding tnxicty and mercury, we propose to:
Construct a six or eight inch_PVC line to Buffalo Creek, along
N. C. State Highway 226 and discharge into .Buffalo Creek at than
point. A new 7010 report indicates that our B'C of 78 should
change to a 2.13% after relocating our discharge Print to Buffalo
Creek.
NLinette Mills is requesti. rcg from the State of North Carol i a, authorization
to construct stated pump station and new discharge line to Buffalo Creek as
designed and presented in plans and specifications drawn by Ledford Engi-
neering Inc., in Asheville, North Carolina. These plans and specifications
will be presented to the Raleigh office along with. a check for the $200.00
processing fee, on or before September 1, 1993 as directed by Special Order
Consent,C Irk No. 92-06.
