Permit # NC0004286
A. (2). SPECIAL CONDITION FOR TERMINATION OF PLANT 16 DISCHARGE
The allocation for this permitted discharge remains at 0.05 MGD. However, a modified
discharge permit will be issued when all of the followingtake place:
1 Proof of change of ownership from Fieldcrest Caimon has been furnished (if the facilityis
purchased). The resulting name/ownership change form shall be submitted to the
Division of Water Quality.
2. A new application for a discharge has been completed and submitted by the new owner
of the facility with a request for a major modification of the NPDES permit.
3. The request for a major modification to NPDES Permit NC0004286 should include the
appropriate fee for such an action.
4. Completion of the application shall include a complete flow justification for the proposed
discharge and an Engineering Alternatives Analysis (EAA). This is required because the
receiving stream is deemed zero flow; all alternatives to discharge must be thoroughly
investigated.
Should Fieldcrest Cannon resume operation, item #4 of this condition must still be addressed.
A. (3). CHRONIC TOXICITY PASS/FAIL PERMIT LIMIT (QRTRLY)
The effluent discharge shal.i at no time exhibit observable inhibition of reproduction or
significant mortality to Ceriodaphnia dubia at an effluent concentration of 90%.
The permit holder shall perform at a minimum, quarter/if monitoring using test procedures
outlined in the "North Carolina Ceriodaphnia Chronic Effluent Bioassay Procedure," Revised
February 1998/or subsequent versions or "North Carolina Phase II Chronic Whole Effluent
Toxicity Test Procedure" (Revised -February 1998) or subsequent versions. Th.e tests will be
performed during the months of February, May, August and November. Effluent sarnpling
for this testing shall be performed at the NPDES permitted final effluent discharge below all
treatment processes..
If the test procedure performed as the first test of any single quarter results in a failure or ChV
below the permit limit, then multiple -concentration testing shall be performed at a minimum, in
each of the two following months as described in "North Carolina Phase II Chronic Whole Effluent
Toxicity Test Procedure" (Revised -February 1998) or subsequent versions.
The chronic value for multiple concentration tests will be determined using the geometric mean.
of the highest concentration having no detectable impairment of reproduction or survival and
the lowest concentration that does have a detectable impairment of reproduction or survival.
The definition of "detectable impairment," collection methods, exposure regimes„ and .further
statistical methods are specified in the "North Carolina Phase II Chronic Whole Effluent
Toxicity Test Procedure" (Revised -February 1998) or subsequent versions.
All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit condition will be entered on the Effluent.
Discharge Monitoring Form (MR-1) for the months in which tests were performed, using the

Permit # NC0004286
parameter code TGP3B for the pass/fail results and THP3B for the Chronic Value. Additionally,
DWQ Form AT-3 (original) is to be sent to the following address:
Attention: North Carolina Division of Water Quality
Environmental Sciences Section
1621 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1621
Completed Aquatic Toxicity Test Forms shall be filed with the Environmental Sciences Section
no later than 30 days after the end of the reporting period for which the report is made.
Test data shall be complete, accurate, include all supporting chemical/physical measurements
and all concentration/response data, and be certified by laboratory supervisor and ORC or
approved designate signature. Total residual chlorine of the effluent toxicity sample must be
measured and reported if chlorine is employed for disinfection of the waste stream.
Should there be no discharge of flow from the facility during a month in which toxicity monitoring is
required, the permittee will compete the information located at the top of the aquatic toxicity (AT) test
form indicating the facility name, permit number, pipe number, county, and the month/year of the
report with the notation of "No Flow" in the comment area of the form. The report shall be submitted.
to the Environmental Sciences Section at the address cited above.
Should the permittee fail to monitor during a month in which toxicity onitoring is required,
monitoring will be required during the following month.
Should any test data from this monitoring requirement or tests performed by the North Carolina
Division of Water Quality 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, minimum control organism reproduction, and appropriate
environmental controls, shall constitute an invalid test and will require immediate follow-up
testing to be completed no later than the last day of the month following the month of the initial
monitoring.

Calendar Quarter
One of the following distinct periods: January through March, April through June, July through September, and
October through December.
C mposite Sample
A sample collected over a 24-hour period by continuous sampling or combining grab samples of at least 100 ml in
such a manner as to result in a total sample representative of the wastewater discharge during the sample period. The
Director may designate the most appropriate method (specific number and size of aliquots necessary, the time
interval between grab samples, etc.) on a case -by -case basis. Samples may be collected manually or automatically.
Composite samples may be obtained by the following methods:
(1) Continuous: a single, continuous sample collected over a 24-hour period proportional to the rate of flow.
(2) Constant time/variable volume: 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
(3) Variable time/constant volume: 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 preset gallon interval between sample collection fixed at no greater than 1 /24 of the
expected total daily flow at the treatment system, or
(4) Constant time/constant volume: a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24-hour period at
a constant time interval. This method may only be used in situations where effluent flow rates vary
less than 15 percent. The grab samples shall be taken at intervals of no greater than 20 minutes apart.

PART III - OTHER PERTINENT INFORMATION
1 Is this facility being constructed with Construction Grant Funds or are any public monies
involved (municipals only)? There were no public monies used in the construction of this
facility.
2. Special monitoring or limitations (including toxicity) requests: None at this time.
Important SOC, JOC or Compliance Schedule dates: This facility is not under nor is
planning to apply for an SOC or JOC.
4. Alternative Analysis Evaluation:
Spray Irrigation: Adequate area is owned adjacent to the existing WWT facility, however,
the facility is currently inactive and has been placed on the market for sale. Cost estimates
for spray irrigation provided by the permittee were based on a proposed design flow of
0.050 MGD, however, actual WWTP flows when the facility was operational were
averaging 0.010-0.015 MGD. Based on this fact, actual area needed for spray irrigation as
engineering and construction costs may decrease by as much as 50-60° (4).
Furthermore, actual discharges from this facility are infrequent, at best, making spray
irrigation even more attractive. If this facility resumes operation, it is recommended that
the permittee reevaluate the spray irrigation alternative with consideration given to a
reduction in design flow.
Connection to Regional Sewer System: This does not appear to be an economically
feasible alternative since there is no sewer line available to the site (the nearest line is at
least one mile from the site).

Page Four
Subsurface: A soils evaluation would have to be performed to determine whether the
existing undeveloped property would support a ground absorption WWT system. Even if
acceptable soils are found, it is unlikely that this alternative would be chosen over spray
irrigation given the higher construction costs.
PART IV - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Fieldcrest Cannon, Inc (FC), is applying for the renewal of its permit for the operation of
wastewater treatment facilities at plant No. 16 (Swink plant), and the discharge of cooling water,
boiler blow down, and air washer water. In the summer of 2003, all manufacturing at this facility
ceased, and the plant has remained closed to -date. In a letter dated August 25, 2003, the Director
authorized FC to suspend the submission of effluent monitoring reports until such time as plant
operations (and eventually a discharge) resume. The FC Plant 16 is currently up for sale and
there are no plans to resume operations at this time.
This discharge enters receiving waters at a location determined to have a 7Q10/30Q2
stream flow of "0" cfs by the USGS. It appears that this facility has a non -discharge disposal
option, however, it is unlikely that this option will be implemented until such time as plant
operations resume, which at this time is considered unlikely. If manufacturing operations do
indeed resume, the permittee should also evaluate the option of extending the existing outfall to
the main segment of Grants Creek where positive 7Q10/30Q2 flow is known to exist.
If this facility would at some point resume operations, it may be necessary to add a
compliance schedule to the subject Permit so that the perrnittee will have an opportunity to
design and construct non -discharge WWT facilities. If, however, after receipt of the additional
information it appears that converting to a non -discharge option or relocation of the current
outfall to a stream with positive flow is not available, it is recommended that the NPDES permi
be renewed as requested.

Dear Mr. Abba:
IUC
Title -15A of the North Carolina Administrative Code, Subchapter 2B, Section .0506enumerates
specific reporting requirements applicable to holders of NPDES permits issued by the State of
North Carolina. 15A NCAC 2B ..0506 (a)(1)(E) states that permittees rn.ust continue to submit
monthly discharge monitoring reports (DMRs) to the Division of Water Quality, even when there
is no discharge from the facility during the reporting period. This requirement may be waived by
the Director of the Division of Water Quality during extended periods of no discharge.

operators would not be on site, a "caretaker" would be present on the premises to monitor the
evaporation system and .would notify responsible personnel for an adequate response should any
malfunction of the system be observed.
After reviewing your letter and considering the recommendation of the staff of the Mooresville
Regional Office, I have agreed to waive the requirement to submit monthly DMRs for the subject
facility, .effective September 1, 2003 and conditional upon the fact that discharge from the
WW1? has ceased by that date. The'DMR for August 2003 should be submitted as usual, and
include a report on progress made in implementing those actions that will preclude the WWTP
from discharging. Please be advised that as long as the facility continues to discharge, or if and
when a discharge resumes, the discharge must be monitored as per the terms of the NPDES
permit and other applicable rules or statutes. Please keep the Mooresville Regional Office
apprised of any pertinent developments that arise regarding wastewater treatment at this facility,
especially if plant operations resume and the WWTP is again activated.

Dear Mr, Ahba:
NC DEPT. Or mw,""-

Title I5A of the North Carolina Administrative Code, Subchapter 2B, Section ,0506 enumerates
specific reporting requirements applicable to .holders of NPDES permits issued by the State of
North Carolina. 1..5A NCAC 2B .0506 (a)(1)(E) states that permittees must, continue to submit
monthly discharge monitoring reports (DMRs) to the Division of Water Quality, even when there
is no discharge :from the facility during the reporting period. This requirement may he waived by
the Director of the Division of Water Quality during extended periods of no discharge.
I have reviewed your correspondence of August 15, 2003, which describes the unfortunate
closing of Fieldcrest Cannon's Plant 16 and requests a suspension of NPDES reporting
requirements for the facility's wastewater treatrncnt plant (WWTP). You state that due to the
plant shut down, the WWTP will receive no influent from manufacturing processes,.
Accumulated sludge will be removed from the treatment units and an enhanced evaporation
process will be used to .keep liquid levels down in the final polishing ponds, thus eliminating the
possibility of discharge to surface waters. You also state that although certified WWTP
operators would not be on site, a "caretaker" would he present on the premises to monitor the
evaporation system and would notify responsible personnel for an adequate response should any
malfunction of the system be observed.
After reviewing your letter and considering the recommendation of the staff of the ,Mooresville
Regional Office, I have agreed to waive the requirement to submit monthly DMRs for the subject,
facility, effective September 1, 2003 and conditional upon the fact that discharge from the
WWTP has ceased by 'that date. The DMR for August 2003 should be submitted as usual, and
include a report, on progress made in implementing those actions that will preclude the WWTP
from discharging. Please be advisedthat as long as the facility continues to discharge, or it and
when a discharge resumes, the discharge must be monitored as per the terms of the NPDES
permit and other applicable rules or statutes, Please keep the Mooresville Regional Office
apprised of any pertinent developments that arise regarding wastewater treatment at this facility,.
especially if plant operations resume and the WWTP is again activated,

Dear Mr, Abba:
Our records indicate that NPDES Permit No. NC0004286 was issued on August
18, 1999 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 7,8 and 9.
Pages 7, 8 and 9 set forth the effluent limitations and monitoring requirements
for your discharge. Your discharge 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 reporting forms furnished or approved by this Agency. If you have not
received these forms, they should be arriving shortly. If you fail to receive the foul's,
please contact this Office as quickly as possible. I have enclosed a sample of the
"Effluent" reporting form (DEM Form IVIR-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.
Please be advised that an annual administering and compliance monitoring fee
may be required for your facility. You will soon be receiving a statement from our
Raleigh Office, It is imperative that the fee be paid in a timely manner so as to prevent
enforcement action or possible revocation of your peiiiiit,
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 riot 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 Peiniit. This date is set forth on Page 1 of the Perrnit. Also note that
NPDES Permits are not automatically transferable. If you, as the Permittee, cease to
need this Permit, then you should request that the Permit be rescinded or transferred to
another party, if necessary.
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.

Permit No. NC0004286
Plant Number 16
Rowan County
Dear Mr. Abba:
In accordance with your application for discharge permit received on December 19, 1997
by the Division, we are forwarding herewith the subject permit to discharge under the subject
state - NPDES permit. This permit is issued pursuantto the requirements of North Carolina
General Statute 143-215 .1 and the Memorandum of Agreement between North Carolina and the
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency dated December 6, 1983 and as subsequently amended.
If any parts, measurement frequencies or sampling requirements contained in this permit
are unacceptable to you, you have the right to an adjudicatory hearing upon written request
within thirty (30) days following receipt of this letter. This request must be in the form of a
written petition, conforming to Chapter 150E of the North Carolina General Statutes, and filed
with the Office of Administrative Hearings, Post Office Drawer 27447, Raleigh, North Carolina
2761.1-7447. Unless such demand is made, this decision shall be final and binding,.
The following changes have been made to the above referenced permit and were noted in
the draft permit previously sent to you:
Monthly Average limits for Total Suspended. Residue and COD have changed. Previous
waste load allocations (WLA) utilized maximum daily production numbers for calculating
average daily limits. As stipulated in 40 CFR 122.45, average production numbers should
be used to calculate average limits. The latest average daily numbers were used to
correctly calculate the effluent guideline limits. In addition to these limits an allowance for
domestic flows was granted. Past WLAs also assumed that treatment was via a waste
stabilization lagoon. However, the lagoon is a polishing pond and limits must be corrected.
for consistency with other extended aeration plants.
• Monitoring frequencies for most parameters has increased to Weekly as required in the
North Carolina Administrative Code (NCAC) 2B .0500 rules. These requirements apply
for all class two facilities with treated effluent from textiles and domestic sources.
Monitoring for nutrients has been increased to Weekly. This is based on the need to gather
additional nutrient data prior to the development of a nutrient management strategy in the
Yadkin Basin. Since nutrients are a concern in the upper sub -basins the Yadkin Basin,
during the next permitting cycle the Division will assess whether NSW designations are
P.O. Box 29535, Raleigh, North Carolina 27626-0535 Telephone [phone] FAX [phone]
An Equal Opportunity Affirmative Action Employer 50% recycled/ 10% post -consumer paper

appropriate for all or part of the watershed. In addition, nutrient Limits may be inserted in
the permit at a later date.
Monitoring for conductivity has been added to the permit as required in NCAC 2B .0500
rules and for consistency with other water quality limited dischargers.
Special Condition E (toxicity reopened) has been eliminated since there is already a toxicity
test required in the permit.
Special Condition F (Toxicity test) has been updated with revised language and moved to
Part I, A(4). The new language requires facilities to report "No Flow" on the aquatic
toxicity test fonns during months when no discharge takes place.
Special Condition G (alternatives analysis) has been rewritten and moved to Part 1, A(5).
The requirement to continue to evaluate alternatives to this discharge is being retained due
to the availability of non -discharge options.
The expiration date has been changed to June 30, 2004. This will allow concurrent
permitting with other facilities in the Yadkin 30704 subbasin.
An effluent sheet for outfall 002 has been inserted as Part I, A(3). This is to cover the
exempt stonnwater, non -contact cooling water, cooling tower and boiler blowdown
associated with this outfali. As you may be aware, this outfall may not be utilized for an
other types of wastewater. The Division has also recorded the efforts made by Fieldcrest
Cannon to investigate alternative biocides compounds for the non -contact cooling water..
Approval is required prior to the use of any such biocidal compounds. Please see sheet
A(3) for details.
Monthly Average limit for NH3-N has changed to 2.0 mg/I (summer) and 4.0 mg/1(winter).
These limits are consistent with other dischargers to zero -flow streams and go into effect
immediately.
In response to a July 16, 1999 comment letter from Mr. Josh Chandler, the Division submits
the following comments:
As requested, monthly average limits for BOD5 have been changed to 10.0 mg/1 year-
round. Daily maximum limits have been changed to 15.0 mgll. These limits are to allow
greater leeway in treating for algal growth and are effective June 1, 2000.
The limit for TRC is necessary to protect against instream toxicity and is effective June 1,
2000 to allow additional time to evaluate dosing methods.
• To reduce the algae formations the Division recommends shielding the ponds from sunlight
through mechanical means or the use of an aquatic vegetative cover. As an alternative,
Plant 16 may want to investigate withdrawing from different depths in the pond or
completely remove the pond from the treatment train.
The procedure to follow when experiencing an intermittent discharge for toxicity testing
has been addressed in paragraph 7 of the toxicity test. For additional information, please
contact our Water Quality Lab at (919) 733-2 1 36.
The engineering alternatives analysis (EAA) that was completed and submitted with this
permit renewal stated that the discharge option was less costly than the next most feasible option
(spray irrigation). However, the FA.A evaluated the spray irrigation option assuming reuse quality
effluent instead of spray irrigation for disposal. The EAA requirement under special condition A (4)
will clarify what will be required at next renewal.

The Division wishes to remind Fieldcrest Cannon that Grants Creek is currently, listed as an
impaired stream and is only partially supporting intended uses. Due to the availability of other
disposal options, this discharge is being targeted for eventual elimination. "Therefore, the Division
strongly urges Fieldcrest Cannon to consider non -discharge alternatives for its waste stream during
this next permitting cycle. If Grants Creek continues to show no improvements more stringent
limits may be applied at next renewal.
Please take notice that this permit is not transferable except after notice to the Division of
Water Quality. Part II, E.4. addresses the requirements to be followed in case of change in
ownership or control of this discharge. The Division of Water Quality may require modification or
revocation and reissuance of the permit.
This permit does not affect the legal requirements to obtain other permits which may be
required by the Division of Water Quality or permits required by the Division of Land Resources,
the Coastal Area Management Act or any other Federal or Local governmental permit that may be
required. If you have any questions concerning this permit, please contact the NPDES Unit at
telephone number [phone].

5, Mass/Day 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 l 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 I of the permit.

6. Concentration M ea su rem en t
a. The "average monthly concentration," other than for fecal coliform bacten'a, 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 1 of the permit.
c. The "maximum daily concentration" is the concentration of a pollutant discharge during a
calendar day. If only one sample is taken during any calendar day the concentration of
pollutant calculated from it is the "Maxirnum Daily Concentration". It is identified as "Daily
Maximum" under "Other Limits" in Part 1 of the permit.
d. The "average annual concentration," other than for fecal conform 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 conform bacteria is the
geometric mean of the counts for samples collected during a calendar year. This limitation is
identified as "Annual Average" under "Other Limits" in Part I of the permit.
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 1.
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 or the permit
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.

Other Meaurementg
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,o 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.
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 (1) 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.
Calculation of Means
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).
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.

(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 Iimitations tea 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 perrnittee 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 perrnittee 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 treatment
facilities, retention of untreated wastes or maintenance during normal periods of
equipment downtime. This condition is not satisfied if adequate backup equipment should
have been installed in the exercise of reasonable engineering judgment to prevent a bypass
which occurred during normal periods of equipment downtime or preventive maintenance;
and.
(C) The perrnittee submitted notices as required under Paragraph c. of this section.
(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.

V12.5a5
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 perrnittee who wishes to establish the affirmative defense of upset shall demonstrate,
through properly signed, contemporaneous operating logs, or other relevant evidence that:
(I.) 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 permit.
(4) The permittee complied with any remedial measures required under Part 11, B. 2. of this
permit.
d. Burden of proof.
In any enforcement proceeding the permittee seeking to establish the occurrence of an upset has
the burden of proof.
6. Removed Substances
Solids, sludges, filter backwash, or other pollutants removed in the course of treatment or control of
wastewaters shall be utihzed/disposed of in accordance with NCGS 143-215.1 and in a manner such
as to prevent any pollutant from such materials from entering waters of the State or navigable
waters of the United States. The perrnittee shall comply with all existing federal regulations
governing the disposal of sewage sludge. Upon promulgation of 40 CFR Part 503, any permit issued
by the Permit Issuing Authority for the utilization/disposal of sludge may be reopened and
modified, or revoked and reissued, to incorporate applicable requirements at 40 CFR Part 503. The
permittee shall comply with applicable 40 CFR Part 503 Standards for the Use and Disposal of
Sewage Sludge (when promulgated) within the time provided in the regulation, even if the permit
is not modified to incorporate the requirement. The perrnittee shall notify the Permit Issuing
Authority of any significant change in its sludge use or disposal practices.
7. Power Failures
The perrnittee is responsible for maintaining adequate safeguards as required by DEM Regulation,
Title 15A, North Carolina Administrative Code, Subchapter 21-1, .0124 Reliability, to prevent the
discharge of untreated or inadequately treated wastes during electrical power failures either by
means of alternate power sources, standby generators or retention of inadequately treated effluent,

Part n

1. Representative Sampling
Samples collected and measurements taken, as required herein, shall be characteristic of the
volume and nature of the permitted discharge. Samples collected at a frequency less than daily
shall be taken on a day and time that is characteristic of the discharge over the entire period
which the sample represents. AB samples shall be taken at the monitoring points specified in this
permit and, unless otherwise specified, before the effluent joins or is diluted by any other
wastestream, body of water, or substance. Monitoring points shall not be changed without
notification to and the approval of the Permit Issuing Authority.
2. Reporting
Monitoring results obtained during the previous month(s) shall be summarized for each month and
reported on a monthly Discharge Monitoring Report (DMR) Form (DEM No. MR 1, 1.1, 2, 3) or
alternative forms approved by the Director, DEM, postmarked no later than the 30th day
following the completed reporting period.
The first DMR is due on the Last day of the month following the issuance of the permit or in the case
of a new facility, on the last day of the month following the commencement of discharge.

Raleigh, North Carolina 27626-0535
Flow Measurements
Appropriate flow measurement devices and methods consistent with accepted scientific practices
shall be selected and used to ensure the accuracy and reliability of measurements of the volume of
monitored discharges. The devices shall be installed, calibrated and maintained to ensure that the
accuracy of the measurements are consistent with the accepted capability of that type of device.
Devices selected shall be capable of measuring flows with a maximum deviation of less than + 10%©
from the true discharge rates throughout the range of expected discharge volumes. Once -through
condenser cooling water flow which is monitored by pump logs, or pump hour meters as specified in
Part I of this permit and based on the manufacturer's pump curves shall not be subject to this
requirement.
4. Test Procedures
Test procedures for the analysis of pollutants shall conform to the EMC regulations published
pursuant to NCGS 143-215.63 et. seq, the Water and Air Quality Reporting Acts, and to regulations
published pursuant to Section 304(g), 33 USC 1314, of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act, as
Amended, and Regulation 40 CFR 136; or in the case of sludge use or disposal, approved under 40
CFR 136, unless otherwise specified in 40 CFR 503, unless other test procedures have been specified
in this permit.
To meet the intent of the monitoring required by this permit, all test procedures must produce
minimum detection and reporting levels that are below the permit discharge requirements and all
data generated must be reported down to the minimum detection or lower reporting level of the
procedure. If no approved methods are determined capable of achieving minimum detection and

Part 11
Page 11 of 14
reporting levels below permit discharge requirements, then the most sensitive (method with the
lowest possible detection and reporting level) approved method must be used.
Penalties for Tampering
The Clean Water Act provides that any person who falsifies, tampers with, or knowingly renders
inaccurate, any monitoring device or method required to be maintained under this permit shall,
upon conviction, be punished by a fine of not more than $10,000 per violation, or by imprisonment for
not more than two years per violation, or by both. If a conviction of a person is for a violation

4. Alternative Analysis Evaluation:
Spray Irrigation: Adequate area exists adjacent to the WWT
facility, however, the permittee indicated that the company
is planning to sell this property. Cost estimates for spray
irrigation provided by the permittee were based on a
proposed design flow of 0.050 MGD, however, actual WWTP
flows are averaging 0.010-0.015 MGD. Based on this fact,
actual area needed for spray irrigation as well as
engineering and construction costs may decrease by as much
as 50-60%. Furthermore, actual discharges from this facility
are infrequent, at best, making spray irrigation even more
attractive. Such being the case, it is recommended that the
permittee reevaluate the spray irrigation alternative with
consideration given to a reduction in design flow.
Connection to Regional Sewer System: This does not appear to
be an economically feasible alternative since there is no
sewer line available to the site (the nearest line is at
least one mile from the site).
Subsurface: This option does not appear to have been
evaluated by the permittee. Soils work would have to be
performed to determine whether the existing undeveloped
property would support a ground absorption WWT system.
5. Air Quality and/or Groundwater concerns or hazardous
materials utilized at this facility that may impact water
quality, air quality, or groundwater: No GW concerns nor
are hazardous materials utilized at this facility.
Fieldcrest Cannon's Plant 16 has obtained the required AQ
permits.
PART IV - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Fieldcrest Cannon Inc, is applying for the renewal of its
permit for the operation of wastewater treatment facilities at
plant No. 16 (Swink plant),, and the discharge of cooling water,
boiler blow down, and air washer water. There has been no
changes in the operation of the facilities nor in the volume of
discharges since the Permit was last renewed. Biocidal
information has been submitted with the renewal of this permit.

Page Five
This discharge enters receiving waters at a location
determined to have a 7Q10/30Q2 stream flow of "a'" cfs by the
USGS. It appears that this facility may have a non -discharge
option, however, this cannot be confirmed until receipt of
additional information requested above. The permittee should also
evalute the option of extending the existing outfall down to the
main segment of Grants Creek where positive 7Q10/30Q2 flow is
known to exist.
Therefore, pending receipt and review of additional
information regarding the potential for converting to a spray
irrigation WWT facility, it may be necessary to add a compliance
schedule to the subject Permit so that the permittee will have an
opportunity to design and construct the non -discharge WWT
facilities. If, however, after receipt of the additional
information it appears that converting to a non -discharge option
or relocation of the current outfall to a stream with positive
flow is not available, it is recommended that the NPDES permit be
renewed as requested.

FIELDCREST CANNON, INC. - PLANT 16 WWTP
Plant Description
This facility is an infilco Extended Aeration System comprising of an influent bar
screen, two aeration basins, tvvo clarifiers, two aerobic digesters, and one
effluent post aeration chamber. After passing through this system, the effluent
then goes to two stabilization lagoons which operate in parallel series. The
effluent from these lagoons is intermittently discharged to a chlorine contact/
ph adjustment chamber. The effluent flow is monitored continuously by a
Foxboro flow meter which measures the depth over a 22-1/2° V-notch weir.
Secondary sludge is wasted (as needed) from clarifiers to two Aerobic
Digesters. Digested sludge is then disposed of at the Fieldcrest Cannon Plant 1
WWTP in Kannapolis.
Approximately 10,000 GPD of water from Plant 16 is treated at the VVVVTP.
Much of the treated water volume is lost by evaporation, due to extended lagoon
retention time. Treated wastewater is discharged intermittently from this system
to an unnamed tributary of Grant's Creek roughly 40-60 days per year at a rate
of 40,000 GPD.
Plant Specifications:
Hydraulic Capacity = 50,000 GPD
Aeration Basin Volume (2) = 200,000 Gal,
Clarifier Volume (2) = 16,200 Gal.
Aerobic Digester Volume (2) = 9600 gal,
Stabilization Lagoon Volume (2 ) = 6,280,000 Gal.
(Ret. Time = 128 days)

FIELDCREST CANNON, INC. - PLANT 16 WWTP
Sludge Plan
The Plant 16 Waste Water Treatment facility is an extended aeration system
that inherently generates small amounts of secondary sludge_ The organic load
entering the plant is relatively low, so only minimal amounts of sludge are
wasted to the aerobic digester. This system was designed with two aerobic
digesters. Only one of these is currently needed to digest solids_ Solids are
digested for weeks at a time. Digester contents are then concentrated in place
by settling and decanting. The digester has a capacity of approximately 4800
gallons. This thickened sludge is then pumped out of the digester by means of a
contract vacuum pump truck. Solids are then disposed of at the Fieldcrest
Cannon Plant 1 WWTP. Plant 16 disposed of 15,000 gallons of digested and
thickened solids in 1996.

PLANT 1 WWTP
Engineering Alternatives Analysis
Fieldcrest Cannon's Plant 16 Waste Water Treatment facility is designed to treat
0,05 MGD. It consists of two extended aeration basins followed by two clarifiers.
Clarifier effluents are combined, then aerated. This aerated water then flows
into one of two large stabilization lagoons. Stabilized water is discharged
on an intermittent basis (approximately 40-60 days/year) through a pH
neutralization/chlorination chamber. The water then passes by the flow
measuring device and enters a tributary to Grants Creek.
There are two alternative options for wastewater disposal at Plant 16. The first
option is to land apply the treated effluent. The second is to discharge the
treated or untreated wastewater to the local POTW. Both of these methods will
be discussed below.
OPTION 1 Land Application of Treated Effluent:
An effective land application program consists of appropriate land availability,
satisfactory soil conditions, and regulatory compliance. Any design of a land
application system would have to be based on the permitted design flow of the
WWTP, Therefore, the design is based on a flow of 0.05 MGD, As a result, it is
calculated that 26 acres of land is needed to accommodate this amount of flow
(details are shown on calculation page 1). Fieldcrest Cannon, Inc. presently has
34 acres of land behind the plant, but plans have already been set into motion to
sell all of this land this year. Therefore, the land that we retain will be a cost to
us, since we essentially lose the money associated with the selling of the land:
The lost principal from 26 acres at $2600/acre would equate to $67,600. In
addition, there are engineering, analytical, and construction costs associated
with this system. These costs include installation of piping networks, new
pumps, monitoring wells, as well as soil testing and permitting. This cost can be
estimated at $150,000. Below is a breakdown of the components of this system:
- Land Required
- Cost of Land from Loss of Sale
(@ $2600/acre)
- Engineering, Analytical, and
Construction Costs
26 acres
$67,600
$150,000
TOTAL $217,600

Engineering Alternative Analysis - Plant 16 WWTP
From the figures on the previous page, it is apparent that the cost to pursue land
application is very costly compared to the current mode of treatment. The total
estimated cost to install such a system would cost $150,000, not including the
lost capital from the failure to sale the available real estate. In addition, we
would still need to operate our WWTP to treat the effluent prior to land
application. As a result, we would retain our present operational and
maintenance costs of the WVVTP, in addition to the extra costs associated with
land applying the effluent. In effect, a land application alternative is not a
justifiable option.
OPTION 2 - Local POTW Sewer Connection:
The Fieldcrest Cannon Plant 16 facility is located outside of the city limits and is
approximately one mile from the nearest Salisbury sewer main. The cost to
design, construct, meter, and permit a one mile sewer connection is estimated to
be $300,000. Because of the extensive capital cost incurred, this option is
obviously not cost effective. In addition, some of the costs associated with
operating our WWTP will still be intact, since there will need to be some type of
pretreatment and wastewater monitoring to eliminate surcharges. Also, the city
sewage rates, as well as the annual administration fee, must be taken into
account. According to the City of Salisbury, their applicable sewage rate would
equal $1.71 per 1000 gallons of wastewater. This is in contrast to the $0.40 per
1000 gallons that it costs us to treat our own wastewater.
A present value analysis of the cost to connect to the city sewer system, versus
that to continue the current mode of operation yields the following results:
PVto connect to sewer system
$355,572
PVcontinue FCI's operation of WWTP = $39,072
(Calculations for the present value analysis and a description of the sewer
facilities required to connect to the city sewer system are provided on calculation
pages 2 & 3).
From these results, it is shown that a city sewer connection is unfeasible.
In summary, Fieldcrest Cannon would like to continue to operate its own WWTP.
Our current system is efficiently operated and maintained, and consistently
compliant with treatment standards. By utilizing our own resources, we can
better control the treatment of our waste, and do so in the most economically
feasible manner. At present, it would not be sensible to change any treatment
practices.

Toxicity Profile
The active ingredients of A-457 are 1-bromo-3-chloro-5,5-dimethyihydantoin,1,3-
dichkuo-5,5-dimethyihydantoin and 1,3-dichIoro-5-ethy1-5-methylhydantoif. Under proper use
conditions, these compounds primarily hydrolyze to hypobromous acid, hypochiorous acid, 5,5-
dirnethythydantoin and 5-ethyl-5-methylhydantoin.
A-457 is corrosive to the eyes and is a severe irritant to the skin. The acute oral studies
produced the same effect among the related compounds, namely ataxia, decreased activity,
bleeding in the thoracic cavity, stomach and intestines.
The acute toxicity data presented for A-457 dearly show that the properties of
A- 45 7 per se are for practical purposes identical with other registered halogen
donors which have been safely handled for many years. MITI limited its acute toxicity testing
because the several tests performed with A-457 . parallel the results obtained when
we extensively tested dlchlorodimethylhydantoin, dibrornodimethythydantoln and bromo-
chlor©dimethythydantoin.
Because it is known that the parent hydantoins are the products of hydrolysis, acute oral
studies were performed with ethylmethylhydantoin and dimethylhydantoin. These compounds
are not toxic.,,

shown indicate that both dimethylhydantoin and ethylmethylhydantoin are degraded in municipal
waste treatment plants. Therefore, the discharge of these compounds should not threaten either
man or the environment.

Bioassay Procedure - Revised *February 1987) or subsequent versions.
The effluent concentration at which there may be no observable inhibition of reproduction or
significant mortality is 3 % (defined as treatrn.ent two in the North Carolina procedure
document). The pe.rrn.it holder shall perforrn �r`y monitoring using this procedure to establish.
compliance with the permit condition. The first test will be performed after thirty days from
issuance of this permit during the months of ,1 i3 v 44i' V Effluent
sampling for this testing shall be performed at the NPIDE.S 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

In accordance with your application for discharge permit received on July 13, 1993, we are
forwarding herewith the subject state - NPDES permit. This permit is issued pursuant to the
requirements of North Carolina General. Statute 143-215 ,1 and the Memorandum of Agreement
between. North Carolina and the US Environmental Protection. Agency dated. December 6, 1983.
In a letter dated June 15, 1994, you requested expressed concerns with:
1) the requirement in Part III H to eliminate the discharge prior to expiration of the permit.
Based on the information you provided, this requirement has been modified to require an
Alternatives Analysis be submitted along with the renewal application if the discharge
has not been eliminated by the expiration of the permit. t
2) the mercury limit of 0.01214/1. As stated in your letter, this requirement is due to the
detection of mercury in APAM results. The Division can not concur with deletion or
alteration of this limit at this time. You may request a re-evaluation of the limit after
collecting 12 months of data. You also suggested that the limit be set to the laboratory
detection level instead of the Water Quality Standard. The limit is established to protect
aquatic life in the receiving stream in accordance with the North Carolina General
Statutes. For the purposes of compliance, sample results which are reported as less than
laboratory detection limits are considered to be equivalent to zero..
If any parts, :measurement frequencies or sampling requirements contained in this permit are
unacceptable to you, you have the right to an adjudicatory hearing upon written request within
thirty (30) days following receipt of this letter. This request must. be in the form of a written
petition, conforming to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes, and tiled with the

F. Toxicity Reopener Condition
This permit shall be modified, or revoked and reissued to incorporate toxicity limitations and
monitoring requirements in the event toxicity testing or other studies conducted on the effluent or
receiving stream indicate that detrimental effects may be expected in the receiving stream as a result
of this discharge.
G. CHRONIC TOXICITY PASS/FA[L 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 1.989) or subsequent versions.
The effluent concentration at which there may be no observable inhibition of reproduction or
significant mortality is 90% (defined as treatment two in the North Carolina procedure document).
The perrnit holder shall perfortn quarterly 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 February, May, August, and November. 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 -I (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 chemicallphysical 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 streams.
Should any single quarterly monitoring indicate a failure to meet specified limits, then monthly
monitoring will begin immediately 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.

(approach taken, correspondence with region, EPA, etc.)
Recommend removal of this discharge by next permit cycle, The facility discharges in to a
stream with 7Q10/30Q24 cfs. Removal of discharge has previously been recommended and a
more environmentally sound alternative is available at an economically reasonably cost. Land
application of treated Effluent, this could be accomplished either by land applying treated water
after clarification or after stabilization. POTW sewer connection is possible, but not cost effective
(would have to pipe 1 mile to nearest sewer line).Grants Creek at the downstream monitoring site
has a biological rating of poor and an overall rating of nonsupportive. Chemical rating is
supportive but DO and NH3 have been listed as problem parameters. Updated fecal coliform

Dear Ms. Sifford:
Our records indicate that NPDES Permit No. NC0004286 was
issued on September 30, 1994 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 through 7.
Pages 4 through 7 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.

Page Two
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.

REMARKS;
I certify that 1 am familiar with the Information contained In this report and that to the
best of my knowledge and taetlet sucn information Is true, complete and aCCUratt.
Name of Authorized Agen

Directions. —For each parameter listed, complete the
information requested in each column in the units specified
according to the instructions given below.
Column 1.—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 pH,
specific conductance, and bacteriological parameters (e.g.,
coliformti 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 b.—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 S.—Specify sample type as follows:
G For grab sample (individual sample collected in less
than 15 minutes).
#C For composite sample "#" is to be replaced h,y ,1
average number of hours over which the tag:1i
sample was collected. Composite samples ,ire .,
binations of individual samples obtained at iri14•.:,
over a time period. Either the volume of eaci)
dividual sample is directly proportional to disclaaaa
flow rates or the sampling interval (for conatas,ta
volume samples) is inversely proportionai tu, ti
flow rates over the time period used to produc- -,
composite.
NA if "C©NT- was entered in column 6.

with their reporting levels, test descriptions, and referena..,.
The parameter values can be determined either by usr 01 0,a

SLUDGE PLAN
PLANT 16 WWTP
The Plant 16 WWTP is an extended aeration system that inherently
generates small amounts of secondary sludge. The organic load
entering the plant is relatively low, so only Minimal amounts of
sludge are wasted to the aerobic digester. This sytem was designed
with two aerobic digesters. Only one of these is currently needed
to digest wasted solids. Solids are digested for weeks at a time.
Digester contents are then concentrated in place by settling and
decanting. The digester has a capacity of approximately 4800
gallons. This thickened sludge is then pumped out of the digester
by means of a contract vacuum pump truck. solids are then disposed
of at the Fieldcrest Cannon Plant 1 WWTF. Plant 16 disposed of
approximately 12,000 gallons of digested and thickened solids in
1992.

ENGINEERING ALTERNATIVES ANALYSIS
FIELDCREST CANNON PLANT 16 WWTP
There are two alternative treatment methods for Plant 16's
wastewater. Both land application of the treated effluent and
discharge of treated or untreated wastewater to the local POTW
could be considered.
This wastewater treatment plant is designed to treat 0.05 mgd. It
consists of two extended aeration basins followed by two
clarifiers. Clarifier effluents are combined then aerated. This
aerated water then flows into one of two large stabilization
lagoons. Stabilized water is discharged on an intermittent basis
(30 - 50 days/yr.) through a chamber where pH neutralization and
chlorination are done. The water then passes by the flow measuring
device and then enters the stream (a tributary to Grant's Creek).
tion Land Appiication of Treated Effluent
This option could be accomplished either by land applying treated
water after clarification or after stabilization.
This plant receives approximately 6000 gpd of untreated wastewater.
If secondary effluent from clarifiers is land applied at a rate of
20,000 gal./wk./acre, then 2.1 acres would be needed. This amount
of on -site land is available.
In 1992, Plant 16 discharged an average of 20,000 gpd for 31 days
from the two stabilization lagoons. Evaporation from these lagoons
greatly reduces total discharge volume. If the lagoon effluent is
discharged on a daily basis, only 1700 gpd would need to be land
applied. This would require 0.6 acres of land.
Land is available for either method under Option 1. This would
reduce costs associated with NPDES monitoring and analysis. There
would be engineering, equipment, and some analytical costs
associated with this system, but the waters of the Grant's Creek
Basin would be further protected.
Option 2 - POTW SEWER CONNECTIONS
The Fieldcrest Cannon Plant 16 facility is located approximately
one mile from the nearest Salisbury sewer line. There would be
considerable costs associated with running a sewer line this
distance. In order for this option to be cost effective, untreated
wastewater would have to be discharged to the sewer. Costs
associated with plant operation would be eliminated, but surcharges
and wastewater monitoring (city and self) would be inevitable.
Since at least some pretreatment would be needed to eliminate

Engineeringlterne tives-Analysis
Plant 16

surcharges and many PO s have become extremely restrictive as to
concentrations allowed in pretreatment p 4+its, this does not seem
to be justifiable optiono
Whenever possible, Fieldcrest. Cannon prefers to maintain and
operate our own wastewater treatment systems. We feel that cost
control is more effective by avoiding thePOTW system.
Our current wastewater treatment system is efficiently operated and
maintained with only occasional and minor pe it violations At
present, it would not be justifiable to change any treatment
practices, but land application should be a consideration in the
future.

PLANT 3.6 WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT
PLANT DESCRIPTION
This facility is an Infilco Extended Aeration System comprising of
influent bar screen, two aeration basins, two clarifiers, two
aerobic digesters, and one effluent post aeration chamber. In
addition, the effluent from this plant passes through two
stabilization lagoons (operated in parallel). The effluent from
these lagoons is then intermittently discharged to a chlorine
contact - pH adjustment chamber. The effluent flow is monitored
continuously by a Foxboro (diaphragm -stile) flow meter measuring
the depth over a 221 V-notch weir. Secondary sludge is wasted (as
needed) from clarifiers to two, Aerobic Digesters. Digested sludge
is then disposed of at the Fieldcrest Cannon Plant 1 WWTP.
This system received approximately 6,000 gpd of wastewater
comprising of domestic waste, textile slasher room "clean-up"
wastewater, and miscellaneous wash wastewaters. Treated wastewater
is discharged intermittently from this system 30 to 50 days per
year at rate of 5,000 to 50,000 gpd. Much treated water volume is
lost via evaporation, due to extended lagoon retention time.
Cooling water and boiler blowdown bypasses the Infilco system and
travels directly to one stabilization lagoon.

INSTRUCTIONS
The purpose of this document and the MC CEHNR memo of October 30, 1990 (Tedder)/mailing of December 1990 is to standard-
ize the sampling, analysis and reporting procedures to be used for the Annual Pollutant Anatysis Monitoring (APAM) Require-
ment as described in the permit.
Sampling
1 - Take a 24-hour composite sample from the final efftuent during mid -week (Wednesday through Friday). Collect a grab
sample for the volatile organic fraction when collection of the 24-hour composite sample is completed. Follow any other
sampling instructions provided by the laboratory performing the analysis.
2 - Indicate in the space provided on Page 1 of 13 this page whether a corresponding sample for toxicity testing was taken.
3 - Make note of any unusual Wastewater treatment operating conditions occurring on the day of sampling in the space pro-
vided on Page 1 of 13.
Analysis
4 - Analyze the effluent for pollutants listed on the APAM form, including those to be identified and approximately quan-
tified under the 10 significant peaks rule, using appropriate EPA -approved methods for each of the analytic fractions,
Other analytical methods can be substituted only with prior, written approval of the Director of the Division of Environmen-
tal Management (DEM). Read and distribute to the laboratory performing the analysis the accompanying memo (Tedder, October
1990) clarifying analytical requirements.
5 - Identify chemicals to be analyzed for according to the 10 significant peaks rule (as described in item 2 of the Annual
Pollutant Analysis Monitoring Requirement in the permit) using a GC/MS library search. Tentative identification is all that
is required; confirmation by standard injection is not necessary. Estimate the concentration of each based on an internal
standard having the closest retention time.
Reporting
6 - Duantitation Limit Targets that should be met are listed on this Revised APAM Reporting Form A. Report the use of any
higher quantition limit and an explanation as to why the listed quantitation limit target could not be met. Examples of
acceptable reasons for not meeting e quantitation limit target could be high background concentrations in a sample, or the
necessity for sample fraction dilution to bring a chemical to within a quantifiable concentration. List any quantitation
limit different (whether higher or tower) from the target in the column provided for the purpose.
7 - If a chemical is found to be below the quantitation limit, report the concentration detected as less than (or '<i) the
quantitation limit in the appropriate space. Provide a concentration estimate for chemicals detected in concentrations
greater than the detection Limit and less than the quantitation Limit. Enter the detection limit in parentheses beside the
estimate. Chemicals detected in concentrations above the quantitation limits must be quantified. Quantitation limit and
detection limit are defined in the NC DEHNR memo (Tedder, October 1990). Enter the total number of peaks detected in,
each analytic fraction in the appropriate space on this Revised APAM Form A. Report all concentrations in units of micro-
grams per liter (ug/L) and metals as total recoverable metal. If no peaks to be identified under the 10 significant peaks
rule are observed, enter "none" in the space provided for "other" compounds in each appropriate analytic fraction section.
Provide the concentration estimate and retention time for "unknowns" as well as for "significant peaks" for which a struc-
tural assignment can be made.
8 - If "significant peaks" are found, provide probable molecular weight, Library match probability, retention time, ident-
ification basis, and MS scan number each. In addition, List internal standards and their retention times.
9 - In the section labeled "Organic Analytical Information", (Page 11 of 13) include for each organic fraction the method,
extraction technique, GC operating conditions, and surrogate recovery. Report the size of the GC/MS library being utilized
in the appropriate space.
10 - Use copies of this Annual Pollutant Analysis Monitoring Revised Form A to report the results of the analysis. Both
the analytical Laboratory representative and the facility operator in responsible charge should sign completed forms
(last page).
11 - Mail two completed copies of the form (and the laboratory report, if submitted to the facility on a different form)
to: ATTN: Centrat Files, Division of Environmental Management, NC DEHNR, P.O, Box 29535, Raleigh, NC 27626, Mail the APAM
form separately from Discharge Monitoring Reports.

F. Toxicity Reopener Condition
This permit shall be modified., or revoked and reissued to incorporate toxicity limitattions and
monitoring requirements in the event toxicity testing or other studies conducted on the effluent or
receiving stream indicate that detrimental effects may be expected in the receiving stream as a result
of this discharge.
G. CI -IRONIC TOXICI.IY .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 90% (defined as treatment two in the North Carolina procedure document).
The permit holder shall perform quarterly monitoring using this procedure to establish compliance
with the permit condition. The first test will be performed after thirty days from. the issuance of
this permit on a quarterly basis such that at least one test will be performed. during a calender
quarter in which the facility discharged. Calendar quarters are defined as 'follows: January through
March., April through June, July through September:, and October through December. 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 TGP3I3., Additionally, DEMForm 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 meeasurernents
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 afailure to meet specified lirmits then
monitoring will begin immediately until such time that a single test is passed. Upon pa`
monthly test requirement will revert to. quarterly in the months specified above.
Should any test data. frorra this ronitoring requixretnent or tests performed by the North Carotin a
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 nri.rrirnurn
control organism. survival and appropriate environmental controls, shall constitute an invalid test
and will require imrnediate retesting(within 30 days of initial monitoring event). Failure to submit
suitable test results will constitute noncompliance with monitoring requirements.
aont.
ng, t

Pollutant Analysis Condition
The permittee shall conduct a test for pollutants annually at the effluent from the treatment plant.
The discharge shall be evaluated as follows: 1) A pollutant analysis of the effluent must be
completed annually using EPA approved methods for the following analytic fractions: (a)
purgeables (i.e., volatile organic compounds); (b) acid extractables; (c) base/neutral extractables;
(d) organochlorine pesticides and PCB's. (e) herbicides; and (f) metals and other inorganics. The
Annual Pollutant Analysis Monitoring (APAM) Requirement Reporting Form A and accompanying
memo, to be provided to all discharges affected by this monitoring requirement, describes the
sampling and analysis requirements and lists chemicals to be included in the pollutant analysis.
This monitoring requirement is to be referred to as the "Annual Pollutant Analysis Monitoring
Requirement" (APAM).
(2) Other significant levels of organic chemicals must be identified and approximately quantified.
For the purpose of implenienting this requirement, the largest 10 GC/MS peaks in the purgeable
base/neutral extractable, and acid extractable fractions (or fewer than 10, if less than 1.0
unidentified peaks occur) for chemicals other than those specified on the APA Requirement
Reporting Form A should be identified and approximately quantified as stated in the APAM
Reporting Form A instructions. This part (item 2) of the APAM requirement is to be referred to as
the "10 significant peaks rule").

Directions. -For each parameter Fisted, errrtptete the
information requested in each column irn tl'te units specified
according to the instructions given below.
Column 1. -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 I 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 ruining activities,
Column 2.--If all or part of intake water is treated before
use, provide values for total intake here instead of in
Column 1. 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 pH,
specific conductance, and bacteriological parameters (e.g.,
coliform bacteria).
Columns 4 candy, -YSupply rnininaurrn Arid rnaxirmum value
observed (or expected for new discharge) over any one day
when the discharge is operating.
Column Cr.-Specify the average frcqucitcy 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 "CANT-" 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 he based on an operating month.
Column 7. -Specify the number of analyses perfonncd 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 less
than 15 rriinutes).
C For composite sample "7k" is to be replaced tsy rt
average number of hours over which the
sample was collected. Composite samples ,wr,- _ °1-
binations of individual samples obtainers at Olt; . ,a

dividual sample is directly proportional to disclr.-r,.,
flow rates or the sampling interval (for conaacr-
volutne samples) is inversely proportional t,, r;
flow rates over the time period used to prrniuc- ,,,

TO: Thurman Horne
Mooresville Regional Office
FROM: Jennifer Buzun, Environmental Engineer
Technical Services Branch
THRU: Forrest Westall, Head
Technical Services Branch
SUBJECT: Allocation 'Limits for Cannon Bills - Swink Plant
A review of the past year's self -monitoring records shows low TKN values,
approximately in the range of 1 to 5 mg/1. Thus it was felt, in view of the
facts that no BPT limit exists for NH3-Ivy for this type of industry, that
only a small amount of the effluent is domestic, and that consistently low
monitoring values have been obtained, that no NH3-N allocation limit should
be given.
The BOD5 limit was based on a BODult value of 53 mg/1 which resulted from our
water quality analysis. Since it was assumed that no significant nitrogenous-
BOD was present in the effluent, the BODu was assumed to be composed solely
of carbonaceous BOD. For the domestic portion of the flow (30%), a CBOD/BODS
ratio of 1.0 was assumed; for the industrial portion (70%), a CBOD/BODS ratio
of 3.0 was assumed. Therefore, an average CBOD/BODS ratio for the total
flow is:
0.3 (
+ 0.7 (3.0) = 2.4
Thus, the BOD5 limit was calculated to be 22 mg/1.
The completed wasteload allocation form is attached. If you have any
questions, please let me know.

Subject: Application for permit renewal
Cannon. Mills Co., Plant 16
NPDES No. NC0004286
Dear Mr. Horne:
In response to your telephone call, I am submitting the following information
for clarification of and addition to data previously submitted on our form "0'
application dated February 19, 1980.
Item 14b(214b) of section II, page 1I-3 was originally submitted as 50,O00
lb/day of percale and muslin sheeting and 50,000 lb/day of yarn. The yarn
produced at the time of the application was used entirely for sheeting at this
plant, resulting in a total production of 50,000 lb/day..
At this time we are installing new machinery to increase output of products
from the spinning operation. By late summer we anticipate producing 20,000 Ibi ay
of yarn and roving in addition to that required 50,000 lb/day of sheeting; thus,
total production would be 70,000 lb/day.
Column (4), H-2, indicated units in column (3) of thousand pounds per day,.
as you called to my attention. The correct entry in column three, for example,
should have been 50 rather than 50,000 to indicate 50,000 lb/day.
The corrected item 14b should read as follows.

2281 Yarn Spinning

Subpart C--Dry Processing Subcategory
§ 410.30 Applicahility; description of
the dry processing, subcategory.
The provisions of this subpart are ap-
plicable to process waste water dis-
charges resulting from the following
RULES AND REGULATION
discharger or other interested person
may submit evidence to the Regional
Administrator (or to the State, if the
State has the authority to issue NTi3ES
permits) that factors relating to the
equipment . or facilities involved, the
process applied, or other such factors re-
lated to such discharger are fundamen-
tally different from the factors con-
sidered in the establishment of the guide-
lines, On the basis of such evidence or
other available information, . the Re-
gional Administrator (or the State) will
make a 'written finding that such factors
are or are not fundamentally different -
forthat facility compared to those speci-
fied in the Development Document. 1f
such fundamentally different factors are
found to exist, the Regional Administra-
tor or the State shall establish for the
discharger effluent limitations in the
11PDES permit either more or less strin-
gent than the limitations established
herein, to the extent dictated by such
fundamentally different factors. Such
limitations must be approved by the Ad-
attrinistrator of the Environmental Pro-
tection Agency. The Administrator may
approve or disapprove such limitations,
specify other limitations, or initiate pro-
ceedings to revise these regulations. The
following limitations establish the quan-
tity or quality of pollutants or pollutant
properties, controlled by this section,
which may be discharged by a point
source subject to the provisions of this
subpart after application of the best
practicable control technology currently
available:
EA/sent
types of textile mills: Yarn 'manufacture, charse toilet iq
yarn texturizing, unfinished fabric man-
ufacture, fabric coating, fabric laminat-
lrng, tire cord and fabric dipping, and car-
pet tufting and carpet, backing. Rubber-
ized or rubber coated fabrics regulated
by 40 CFR Part 428 are specifically
excluded.
§ 410.31 Specialized definitions.
For the purpose of this subpart:
(a) Except as provided below, the gen-
eral definitions, abbreviations and meth-
ods of analysis set forth in 40 CFR Part
401 shall apply to this subpart.
(b) The term "product" shall mean
the final material produced or processed
by the Mill.
§ 410.32 Effluent limitations guideli
representing the degree of eftluett
reduction attainable by the applica-
tion of the best practicable control
technology currently available.
Li establishing the limitations set forth
In this section, EPA took into account all
information it was able to collect de-
velop and solicit wtih respect to factors
(such as age and size of plant, raw ma-
terials, manufacturing processes, prod-
ucts produced, treatment technology
available, energy requirements and costs)
which can affect the industry subcate-
goriz'atlon and effluent levels established..
It is, however, possible that data which
would affect these limitations have not
been available and, as a result, these
limitations should be adjusted for cer-
tain plants in this industry. An individual
