NPDES Boiler/Cooling Water General Permit Cancellation
Dear Mr. Landis:
The purpose of the letter is to inform your office that the Mooresville Facility was sold to Cherokee Mooresville,
LLC on June 1, 2001. It is Burlington's understanding that Cherokee Mooresville, LLC does not plan to operate any
of the previously permitted sources at the facility and thus does not plan to transfer ownership of the NPDES
General Permit No. NCG500176(See attached letter from Cherokee Mooresville, LLC). Burlington is therefore
requesting that the NPDES Permit (No. NCG500176) be rescinded.
If you have any questions for Burlington please contact Tim Holland at 336-379-2563. The environmental contact
at Cherokee Mooresville, LLC is John Gallagher at 919-743-2547.

Dear Mr, Stevens:
The purpose of this letter is to request cancellation of NPDES Stormwater Permit No.
NCG500176. This permit is for discharge of cooling tower and boiler blowdown and similar
wastewaters associated with hydroelectric (boiler) operations at the plant site.
Recently, Cherokee -Mooresville purchased the Burlington Industries — Mooresville Plant located
in Mooresville, Iredell County from Burlington Industries, Inc. Cherokee plans to re -develop the
site for commercial use.
Prior to our acquisition of the plant, production operations had stopped and operation of the
boilers had ceased. The boilers are permanently off-line and there will be no discharge of
cooling tower and boiler blowdown and similar wastewaters.
Please find enclosed with this letter a similar letter from Burlington Industries, the current permit
holder, requesting cancellation of the stormwater permit.
If you have any questions, please contact John Gallagher, P.E., our engineering manager, at

The Division of Envirorunental Management has recently evaluated all existing individual permits for potential
coverage under general permits currently issued by the Division. 15A N.C.A.C. 2H .0127 allows the Division to
evaluate groups of permits having similar discharge activities for coverage under general permits and issue
coverage where the Division finds control of the discharges more appropriate in this manner. The Division has
determined that the subject discharge qualifies for such coverage. Therefore, the Division is hereby issuing the
subject Certificate of Coverage under the state-NPDES general permit no. NCG500000 which shall void NPDES
Permit NC0005941. This Certificate of Coverage is issued pursuant to the requirements of North Carolina and the
US Envirorunental Protection Agency Memorandum of Agreement dated December 6, 1983 and as subsequently
amended.
If any parts, measurement frequencies or sampling requirements contained in this general permit are unacceptable to
you, you have the right to submit an individual permit application, associated processing fee and letter requesting
coverage under an individual permit. Unless such demand is made, this decision shall be final arid binding. Please
take notice this Certificate of Coverage is not transferable. Part II, E.4. addresses the requirements to be followed
in case of change of ownership or control of this discharge.
In the event that the facilities fail to perform satisfactorily, including the creation of nuisance conditions, the
Permittee shall take immediate corrective action, including those as may be required by this Division, such as the
construction of additional or replacement wastewater treatment or disposal facilities. Construction of any
wastewater treatment facilities will require issuance of an Authorization to Construct from this Division.
Failure to abide by the requirements contained in this Certificate of Coverage and respective general permit may
subject the Permittee to an enforcement action by the Division of Environmental Management in accordance with
North Carolina General Statute 143-215.6A to 143-215.6C. Please note that the general permit does require
monitoring in accordance with federal law. The monitoring data is not required to be submitted to the Division
unless specifically requested, however, the permittee is required to maintain all records for a period of at least
three (3) years.

coverage, you will continue to be permitted to discharge in accordance with the attached general permit.

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, sample and measured, divided by the number
of daily discharges samples 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 1 of the permit.
b. The "weekly average discharge" is defined as the total mass of
all daily discharges sampledand/or measured during the calendar week
(Sunday -Saturday) on which daily discharges are sampled and measured,
divided by the number of daily discharges samples 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 1 of the. permit,

Part II
Page 12 of 14
d. The "average annual discharge" is defined. as the total mass of all daily
discharges sample 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 Measurement
a. The average monthly concentration," other than for fecal coliform
bacteria, is the sum of the concentrations of all daily discharges,
samples 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. whichdaily 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
thegeometric 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 sample 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 1 of the permit.

Part 11
Page 13 of 14
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 Limits" in Part 1
of the permit.
The "daily minimum concentration" (for dissolved, oxygen only) is the
minimum allowable amount of dissolved oxygen required to be available in
the effluent prior todischarge. it is identified as "Daily Minimum" under
"Other Limits" in Part ITI of the permit.
7. Other Measurements
a, Flow, (MG11): 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.
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.
Types cif Samples
a. Composite Sample: These samples consist of grab samples collected at
equal intervals and combined proportional to flow, a sample continuously
collected proportionally to flow, or equal volumes taken at varying time
intervals. If a composite sample is obtained from grab samples, the
following requirements apply. The intervals between influent grab
samples shall be no greater than hourly. Intervals between. effluent grab
samples shall be no greater than hourly except where. the detention time
of the wastewater in. the facility is greater than 24 hours, in which
case, the interval between grab samples shall be no greater in number of
hours than the detention time in number of days; provided, however, in.
no case may the time between effluent grab samples be greater than six
hours nor the number of grab samples less than four during any discharge
period of 24 hours or less.
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.

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).

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.
Hazardous Substance
A hazardous substance means Any substance designated under 40 CFR Part 116
pursuant to Section 311 of the Clean Water Act
Toxic Pol'iutant
A toxic pollutant is any pollutant listed as toxic under Section 307(a)(1) of
the Clean Water Act.

Dear Mr. Millner:
Our records indicate that NPDES Permit No. NC 0005941 was
issued on July 17, 1989 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 a_11
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 is Page M3.
Page M3 sets 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 DMR
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 form, 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.
The remaining Parts. of the Permit (Parts II and III) 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.
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 M-1 or I-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 lank forward

tobe moderately toxic by the oral route of exposure.
The acute oral LD50 of 1-bromo-3-chloro-5,5-dimethylhydantoin
to rats was greater than 200 mg./kg. (Federal EPA registration files).
Acute Dermal: The acute dermal toxicity was determined
to be greater than 2.0 g./kg. for both male and female rabbits.
No signs of systemic toxicity were observed. 1-Broma-3-chloro-

of exposure.
Primary Skin Irritation:. Eschar and'necrosis of the skin
were observed through day 7. On day 14, the irritation score
was zero and eschar and necrosis were n6 longer observed. The
primary skin irritation index was calculated to be 6.1.' From
the test results 1-bromo-3-chloro-5,5-dimethylhydantoin is con-
sidered to be corrosive to the skin.
Skin Irritation: Prolonged or repeated skin contact with
the solid technical product resulted in minor reddening of the
skin and superficial necrosis with the development of excessive
exfoliation. Contact with dilute solutions of 0.1% or less
(1000 ppm) was not irritating to the skin (Federal EPA registra-

Dear Mr. Henderson:
Our records indicate that NPDES Permit No. NC 0005941 was
issued an October 21, 1987 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 is Page 13.
Page 13 sets 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 the DMR 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 form,
please contact this Office as quickly as possible. I have
enclosed a sample of the "Effluent" reporting farm (DEM Form
MR-1), plus instructions for completing the form. It is
imperative that all applicable parts be completed, otherwise the
forms may be returned to you as incomplete. Failure to properly
complete the forms may also result in an automatic $300.00 fine.

The remaining Parts of the Permit (Parts II and. III) 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 day per violation plus
criminal penalties may be assessed for such violations.
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 M-1 or I-1
of the Permit. Also note that NPDES Permits are not
transferable. If you, as the Permittee, cease to need this
Permit, through cessation of the discharge, 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.
