PART IV - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Genwove U. S., Ltd. manufactures veneers for the furniture
industry. The logs used for this purpose are frequently wetted
with water from a make up water pond to prevent cracking. The
logs are also immersed in hot water for a period of time to
soften the wood texture for cutting. Wastewater generated from
the latter process is discharged into a small settling basin
which enters the make up water pond via a ditch parallel to the
railroad tracks. Water used for wetting logs is either absorbed
by the ground or returned to the make up water pond as runoff.
Overflow from the make up water pond may occur during heavy rain
events. When it occurs the water is discharged into a drainage
ditch that may enter the South. Fork Crooked Creek.
It is recommended that the Permit be renewed as requested by
the applicant, provided the Groundwater Section also concurs.

STANDARD CONDITIONS FOR NPDES PERMITS
DEFINITION
1. pennit Issuing Authority
The Director of the Division of Environrrtental Management.
2. DEM or Division
Means the Division of Environmental Management, Department of Environment, Health and
Natural Resources.
3. E C
Used herein means the North. Carolina Environmental Management Commission.
4. Act or °"the Act",
The Federal Water Pollution Conti Act, also known as the Clean Water Act, as amended, 33
USG 1251, et. seq.
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 I of the permit.
c. The "maximum daily discharge" is the total mass (weight) of a pollutant discharged during
a calendar day. If only one sample is taken during any calendar day the weight of pollutant
calculated from it is the "maximum daily discharge." This limitation is identified as "Daily
Maximum," in Part I of the permit.
d. The "average annual discharge" is defined as the total mass of all daily discharges sampled
and/or measured during the calendar year on which daily discharges are sampled and
measured, divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such
year. It is, therefore, an arithmetic mean found by adding the weights of pollutants found
each day of the year and then dividing this sum by the number of days the tests were
reported. This limitation is defined as "Annual Average" in Pan I of the permit.

Part II

6. Concentration Measurement
a. The "average monthly concentration," other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the SUM of
the concentrations of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar month
on which daily discharges are sampled and measured, divided by the number of daily
discharges sampled and/or measured during such month (arithmetic mean of the daily
concentration values). The daily concentration value is equal to the concentration of a
composite sample or in the case of grab samples is the arithmetic mean (weighted by flow
value) of all the samples collected during that calendar day. The average monthly count for
fecal coliform bacteria is the geometric mean of the counts for samples collected during a
calendar month. This limitation is identified as "Monthly Average" under "Other Limits" in
Part I of the permit.
b. The "average weekly concentration," other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the sum of the
concentrations of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar week
(Sunday/Saturday) on which daily discharges are sampled and measured divided by the
number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such week (arithmetic mean of
the daily concentration values). The daily concentration value is equal to the concentration
of a composite sample or in the case of grab samples is the arithmetic mean (weighted by
flow value) of all the samples collected during that calendar day. The average weekly count
for fecal coliform bacteria is the geometric mean of the counts for samples collected during
a calendar week. This limitation is identified as "Weekly Average" under "Other Lirnits°' 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 I of the permit.
d. The "average annual concentration," other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the sum of the
concentrations of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar year on
which daily discharges are sampled and measured divided by the number of daily
discharges sampled and/or measured during such year (arithmetic mean of the daily
concentration values). The daily concentration value is equal to the concentration of a
composite sample or in the case of grab samples is the arithmetic mean (weighted by flow
value) of all the samples collected during that calendar day . The average yearly count for
fecal coliform bacteria is the geometric mean of the counts for samples collected during a
calendar year. This limitation is identified as "Annual Average" under "Other 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 of 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.

7. Other MeAsurements
a, Flow, (MGD): The flow limit expressed in this permit is the 24 hours average flow,
averaged monthly. It is determined as the arithmetic mean of the total daily flows recorded
during the calendar month.
b. An "instantaneous flow measurement" is a measure of flow taken at the time of sampling,
when both the sample and flow will be representative of the total discharge.
c. A "continuous flow measurement" is a measure of discharge flow from the facility which
occurs continually without interruption throughout the operating hours of the facility. Flow
shall be monitored continually except for the infrequent times when there may be no flow
or for infrequent maintenance activities on the flow device.
8. 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 Sarnple: Grab samples are individual samples collected over a period of time not
exceeding 15 minutes; the grab sample can be taken manually. Grab samples must be
representative of the discharge or the receiving waters.
9. Calculation of 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).

Part
Page 4 of 14
c. Weighted by Flow Value: Weighted by flow value means the summation of each
concentration times its respective flow divided by the summation of the respective flows.
10. Calendar Day
A calendar day is defined as the period from midnight of one day until midnight of the next
day. However, for purposes of this permit, any consecutive 24-hour period that reasonably
represents the calendar day may be used for sampling.
11. Hazardous Substance
A ha7Pirdous substance means any substance designated under 40 CFR Part 116 pursuant to
Section 311 of the Clean Water Act,
12. Toxic Pollutant
A toxic pollutant is any pollutant Led as toxic under Section 307(a)(1) of the Clean Water Act_

5. Upseta
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 e, of this
condition are met. No determination made during administrative review of claims that
noncompliance was caused by upset, and before an action for noncompliance, is final
administrative action subject to judicial review.
c. Conditions necessary for a demonstration of upset.
A permittee who wishes to establish the affirmative defense of upset shall demonstrate,
through properly signed, contemporaneous operating logs, or other relevant evidence that:
(1) An upset occurred and that the permittee can identify the cause(s) of the upset;
(2) The permittee facility was at the time being properly operated; and
(3) The permittee submitted notice of the upset as required in Part 11, E. 6. (b) (B) of this
permit.
(4) The permittee complied with any remedial measures required under Part II, B. 2, of this
permit.
d urden of proof.
In any enforcement proceeding the perrnittee 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 utilized/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 permittee shall comply with all existing federal

Part II

ACUTE TOXICITY MONITORING (EPISODIC)
The Company shall conduct FIVE acute toxicity tests using protocols defined as
definitive in E. P. A. Document 600/4-B5/013 entitled "The Acute Toxicity of
Effluents to Freshwater and Marine Organisms". The monitoring shall be performed
as a Fathead Minnow (Pimephales promelas) 24 hour static test, using effluent
collected as a single grab sample. Effluent samples for self -monitoring purposes
must be obtained below all waste treatment. After monitoring of the five
toxicity tests, the Company will conduct one test annually, with the annual
period beginning in January of the next calendar year. The annual test
requirement must be performed and reported by June 30. If no discharge occurs
by June 30, notification will be made to the Division by this date. Toxicity
testing will be performed on the next discharge event for the annual test.
requirement.
The parameter code for this test is TAE6C. All toxicity testing results required
as part of this SOC condition will beentered an the Effluent Discharge Form (MR-
1) for the month in which it was performed, using the appropriate parameter code.
Additionally, DEM Form AT-1 (original) is to be sent to the following address;
Attention:
Environmental Sciences Branch
North Carolina Division of
Environmental Management
4401 Reedy Creek Road
Raleigh, North Carolina 27607
Test data shall be complete and accurate and include all supporting
chemical/physical measurements performed in association with the toxicity tests,
as well as all dose/response data. Total residual chlorine of the effluent
toxicity sample must be measured and reported if chlorine is employed for
disinfection of the waste stream.
Should any test data from either these monitoring requirements or ttests performed
by the North Carolina Division of Environmental Management indicate potential
impacts to the receiving stream, this SOC 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. Failure to submit suitable test results will
constitute noncompliance with monitoring requirements.

Dear Mr. Cesarz.:
On November 17, 1994, the Division of Environmental Management issued NPDES Permit
No. NC0046655 to Genwove U.S. Ltd. A review of the permit file has indicated that an error was
inadvertently made in the permit. Accordingly, we are forwarding herewith modifications to the
subject permit to correct the error. These permit modifications are to the effluent limitations pages.
The modifications change the frequency of toxicity testing.
Please find enclosed the amended effluent limitations pages which should be inserted into your
permit. The old pages should be discarded. All other terms and conditions contained in the original
permit remain unchanged and in full effect. These permit modifications are issued pursuant to the
requirements of North Carolina General Statutes 143-215.1 and the Memorandum of Agreement
between North Carolina and the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency.
If any parts, measurement frequencies or sampling requirements contained in this permit
modification 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 filed with
the Office of Administrative Hearings, Post Office Drawer 27447, Raleigh, North Carolina 27611-
7447. Unless such demand is made, this decision shall be final and binding.
If you have any questions concerning these permit modifications, please contact Charles
Weaver at telephone number [phone], extension 511.

Ac X TOXICITY MONITORING (EPISODIC)
The Company shall conduct FIVE acute toxicity tests using protocols defined as
definitive in E. P. A. Document 600/4-85/013 entitled "The Acute Toxicity of
Effluents to Freshwater and Marine Organisms". The monitoring shall be performed
as a Fathead Minnow (Pirnephales promelas) 24 hour static test, using effluent
collected as a single grab sample. Effluent samples for self -monitoring purposes
must be obtained below all waste treatment. After monitoring of the five
toxicity tests, the Company will conduct one test annually, with the annual
period beginning in. January of the next calendar year. The annual test
requirement must be performed and reported by June 30. If no discharge occurs
by June 30, notification will be made to the Division by this date. Toxicity
testing will be performed on the next discharge event for the annual test
requirement.
The parameter code for this test is TAE6C. All toxicity testing results required
as part of this SOC condition will be, entered on the Effluent Discharge Form (MR-
1) for the month in which it was performed, using the appropriate parameter code.
Additionally, DEM Form AT-1 (original) is to be sent to the following address:
Attention:
Environmental Sciences Branch
North Carolina Division of
Environmental Management
4401 Reedy Creek Road
Raleigh, North Carolina 27607
Test data shall be complete and accurate and include all supporting
chemical/physical measurements performed in association with the toxicity tests,
as well as all dose/response data. Total residual chlorine of the effluent
toxicity sample must be measured and reported if chlorine is employed for
disinfect: cn of the waste stream.
Should any test data from either these monitoring requirements or tests performed
by the Forth Carolina Division of Environmental Management indicate potential
impacts to the receiving stream, this SOC 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. Failure to submit suitable test results will
constitute noncompliance with monitoring requirements..

ALuTE TOXICITY MONITORING (EPISODIC)
The Company shall conduct FIVE acute toxicity test using protocols defined as
definitive in E. P. A. Document 600/4-85/013 entitled "The Acute Toxicity of
Effluents to Freshwater and Marine Organisms." The monitoring shall be performed
as a Fathead Minnow ('Pimephales promelas) 24 hour static test, using effluent
collected as a single grab sample. Effluent samples for self -monitoring, purposes
must be obtained below all waste treatment. Sampling and subsequent testing will
occur during the first five discrete discharge events after the effective date
of this Special Order by Consent (SOC). After monitoring of the five toxicity
test, the Company will conduct on test annually, with the annual period beginning
in January of the next calendar year. The annual test requirement must be
performed and reported by June 30. If no discharge occurs by June 30,
notification will be made to the Division by this date. Toxicity testing will
be performed on the next discharge event for the annual test requirement.
The parameter code for this test is TAE6C. All toxicity testing results required
as part of this SOC condition will be entered on the Effluent Discharge Form (MR--
1) for the month in which it was performed, using the appropriate parameter code.
Additionally, DEM Form AT-1 (original) is to be sent to the follwoing address:
Attention:
Environmental Sciences Branch
North Carolina Division of
Environmental Management
4401 Reedy Creek Road
Raleigh, North Carolina 27607
Test data shall be complete and accurate and include all supporting
chemical/physical measurements performed in association with the toxicity tests,
as well as all dose/response data. Total residual chlorine of the effluent
toxicity sample must be measured and reported if chlorine is employed for
disinfection of the waste stream.
Should any test data from either these monitoring requirements or tests performed
by the North Carolina Division of Environmental Management indicate potential
impacts to the receiving stream, this SOC 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 environmentnal
controls, shall constitues an invalids test. Failure to subment suitable test
results will constitue noncompliance wtih monitoring requirements.

Actions Taken: In response to the above BOD violations, Genwove retained National
Environmental Technologies, Inc. (NET) to study the non-compliance
problem and to find a solution for compliance. On behalf of Genwove,
NET responded immediately to the March 6, 1995 BOD violation (see
enclosed letter). Presently, NET is in the process of collecting
representative samples, evaluating analytical results and facility operation
to determine the cause of BOD violations.
6-28-94
Actions Taken:
Compliance Evaluation Inspection by Mr, G.T. Chen of NCDEHNR's
Mooresville Office revealed that Genwove was in violation of North
Carolina General Statue 143-215.1 for being in non-compliance with the
conditions and requirements set forth in the permit.
In response to the June 28, 1994 notice of violation (NOV), Genwove
responded on July 12, 1994 in a letter to Mr. Richard Bridgeman of
NCDEHNR's Mooresville Office (see enclosed). Genwove retained NET
to provide assistance in permit monitoring and to study other alternatives
of discharging wastewater. A report was submitted to the NCDEHNR's
Raleigh Office in January 1995.

ATTACMt T
REASONS FOR
Genwovo's effluent BOD concentrations have been significantly over its permit iirnits since
November 1994 according to the reported alyt results (see c en . The
wastewater in Genwove is discharged to a non -aerated lagoon which provides minimum BOD
reduction. Based on our study, the BOD violations were not due to increased plant production
or any other plant upset conditions. Thus, future effluent BOD violations are unavoidable,
Continued effluent 13013 violations are expected until a wastewater treatment system is
constructed to treat the contributing high BOD waste stream(s) prior to discharge; Therefore,
it is Genwove's intention to apply for an SOC in order to bring its wastewater discharge into
compliance.

ATTACIEVIENT TV
ACTIONS TA
I. The existing treatment process is a non -aerated lagoon that collects the vat discharge
(log -cooking water), sp er drainage (log -wetting), boiler blowdown (minimum flow)
ad storm water runoff. 'The lagoon water is then recirculated to the supply vats for log -
cooking and the sp ° ers for log -wetting. No chemical is added to the log -cooking and
log -wetting processes.
Effluent discharges usually occur during storm events Mien the amount of water the
lagoon is in excess of the log -cooking and log -wetting demands. Since the first BOD
violation was reported, Genwor' retained NET to study the cause and to find a solution
for achieving compliance.
2. No change has been made to the facility operation.
No rehabilitation work is required on the collection system.
4. No other pretreatment facilites or industries are involved in this SOC application.
5. Refer to the evaluation report in the next page.
15IET is in the process of collecting representa.tive samples from various waste steams
to determine the BOD contributing source(s). Based on treatability studies of selected
high BOD waste stre. (s), NET wi.i then recommend treatment options to Genwove for
achieving compliance.

EVALUATION OF WASTEWATER 'TREATMENT
Prepared For
Genwove U.S. Ltd.
Indian Trail, North Carolina
Prepared By
Ping Zhuang, Ph.D
National Environmental Technologies, Inc.
Genwove's effluent has been out of permit compliance since November 1994 because of its
effluent BOD5 concentrations being over existing permit limit.
The existing treatment system in Genwove is a non -aerated, overflow type lagoon. The
treatment efficiency by such treatment system is typically low. The dissolved oxygen level in
the lagoon depends on natural air transfer which provides minimum biodegradation. The
existing lagoon is shallow and, therefore can not be easily modified by installing aeration
equipment. No other operational changes can be made with the existing system to reduce the
BOD levels effectively.
It is impossible to operate the existing treatment system in any manner that will achieve
compliance with the current permit limits.
The effluent limitations that the facility could be expected to meet if operated at the maximum
efficiency during the term of this SOC are as follows:

This is to follow up with our telephone conversation regarding, effluent BOD violations by Genwove US
Ltd. (set attached telephone memo) As we discussed and per the proposed sampling in a March IS,
1995 letter to Mr. B. Keith Overcash of your office (see attached let[er), samples. were c,ollecntol from.
Genwovels NPDES peilnit sampling point and split for BOD and COD analysis by two certified
laboratories. The analytical results b,y the two laboratories were quite clo.se. Therefore, ic confirms that
Genwoviels effluent BOD concentrations are not in compliance with he permit limit.
Although Genwove intends to comply with the NPDES permit limitation, the cause of the, BOD violation
is unknown at this time: since the facility production had not been changed prior co the recent BOD
violation, Genwove has retained National Environirrienial Technologies, Inc. (NET) m Chara.C.r.,triZe the
various svasie streams and to find a solution to bring the effluent into compliance,. Since a certain time
periodis required to achieve the final compliance, we respectrully request the assistance and approval
from your office to establish an SOC (Special. Order by Consent) for Genwove,
Please inform us of your decisionsrecommendation in writing, We will calf you to schedule a meeting
for the preparation or the SOC. If you have any questions Or need additional information, please do not
hesitate to contact Mr. John Ackerman of Genwove at 704/82 1-7628, or myself at 704/52.9.-.5.c51. Thank

Dear Mr. Overcash:
Project #' 52Q©1
This is in response to your letter of March 6, 1995 regarding a BOD violation in the sef-
monitoring report for the month of November 1994. Review of the past effluent monitoring
results indicated that the effluent BOD and. COD levels have increased significantly since
November of 1994. Past and recent samples were all analyzed by the same laboratory, Prism
Laboratory. Per Mr. John Ackerman of Genwove U,S. Ltd., production processes in the facility
have been the same. Thus, the sudden increase in effluent BOD and COD levels was not.
expected.
On behalf of Genwove U.S. Ltd., National Environmental Technologies, Inc. (NET) will assist
Genwove U.S. Ltd. to collect effluent samples and split the samples for BOD and COD analysis
by Prism Laboratory and another certified commercial laboratory. Sample blanks and COD
standards purchased from Hach Company will also be sent to the two laboratories to confirm
their analytical. quality. If the results confirm that the effluent BOD concentrations are in
violation of the permit limit, NET will then pursue corrective actions to achieve compliance with
the NPDES permit (NC0046655).

Re: Notice Of Violation -
Dear Mr. Bridgeman:
C 46653
Member ot The GWV Group
We arein receipt of the June 28 letter from Brenda Smith notifying
our company of certain deficiencies in our permit as noted during the.
State's inspection of our facility on June 21, 1994. As requested by the
letter, the following discussion. is in response to the deficiencies.
outlined under section SELP-MCNITORING PROGRAM of the report. It should
be noted that Mr. Harvey Hays, our plant manager to whom the letter is
addressed, is on vacation and I am responding an behalfof the company to
thebest of my knowledge and ability to determine the circumstances in
regard to this. matter.
Generally speaking, our failure to comply with the specific
requirements of the self -monitoring reporting can be explained by a lack
of understanding by the responsible plant personnel of the
testing/reporting required under the permit (the nature of these are more
specifically discussed further below). Unfortunately, this lack of
understanding has resulted in the discrepancies identified.
SELF-MONITORINGPROGRAM - DISCREPANCIES
1.A. The company failed to reportBOD, Phena, , and COD readings
(2/month) for the period April 1993 through October 1993. This lack
of. reporting is a result of our responsible plant personnel
erroneously assuming that the outside testing lab was directly
reporting Bod, Phenols, and COD readings to the State on cur
behalf. The lab reports were ccrning back to the company and
improperly filed away.
In regard to the DO readings for September, our records show we
reported these readings,

A34 329 5298 JUL 27, 1994 8:031qm
299 P.13
See enclosed updated re, rts reflecting all readings taken. in
reviewing the enclosed updated reports, I recognize that we
failed to take 2/month readings BCD, Phenols, and COD during
the months of June (only 1 analysis), August (only 1 analysis)
and October (no analysis). It appears these omissions are due
to an oversight by our persorinej to remember to getthe outside
lab testing done.
1.B. The company has failed to take instantaneous flow readings on a
weekly basis when discharge events. occurred. This omission is
essentially due to the responsible personnel not knowing that
they were required to take this reading (I assume they did not
read the permit requirements and understand its contents.) I
believe they interpreted reporting a flow reading as "flow -
yes or no" versus taking a true measurement when there was a
flow. During the. inspection, our responsible personnel was
informed of the proper methsd. of measuring flow and he is now
taking' that reading.
1.C. The company has failed to report monitoring' of Arsenic on a
quarterly basis. This testing was performed as required by our
outside lab and again the, lack of reporting is due to our
improperly assuming that lab was reporting directly to the
State. See enclosed reports for April and September for
quarterly testing.
1.D. The company has failed to take PH readings on. a weekly basis
when discharge events occurred. This omission is essentially
dueto the responsible personnel not knowing that they were
required to take. this reading (I assume they did not read the
permit requirements and understand its contents.) Please note
that this requirement. was listed in sentenceformat at the
bottom of the Permit Schedule, (as opposed. to being itemized in
the body of the, schedule along with the other parameters).
2- I presume this item was commentary and that the test results
acceptable, wer
Enclosed are copies of the monthly' reports with all readings recorded
for the period in question. Enclosed also are acute toxicity reports
not previously submitted.
As the above responses' hope
reflect, cur testing/reportig
deficiencies are not a result of a wiilfui disregard for the permit
requirements but a result of our lack of sophistication and
understanding in this area, As these deficiencies have now been
identified, I have discussed. the requirements with our responsible
plant personnel to make sure they understand, what testing needs to. be
done, whois responsible for what tests and the importance of making
sure all tests are taken and reported. We have also implemented
proceduresto ensure there is proper follow-up to these requirements
by responsible management personnel to ensure the testing/reporting
is being done properly,

(k..14 29
JUL 27, 1994 8:03PM g99 P.14
We have also taken immediate steps addressing the other issues
identified in the report such as: removed excess vegetation from
primary access areas from around the pond and discharge point;
cleared drainage ditches to the pond from the log wetting area; and
cleared the area accessing the settling basin (sludge removal is
being planned).
As to theitems discussed under "OTHER" of the report, I am not
clear as to what is recommended (or required, for that matter). In
reviewing the Fact Sheet attached to the report, there appears to be
some discrepancies in the facts (from my perspective); such. as
continuous discharges and site operation changes which I feel have a.
bearing on the items discussed under "OTHER". As such, I would like
to request a meeting to discuss these items as well as our inspection
report to make sure we are clear as to what is required of us and to
ensure that we have taken appropriate steps to correct the
deficiencies identified, We very much want to do what is required of
us to be in compliance with the permit and I ask for assistance from
your office.
If you have any questionsregarding the above or the attached, please
contact Mt. Tammy Hammond, Mr. Harvey Hays, or the undersigned.

a. The moiithly 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 sure by the number of days
the tests were reported, The limitation is identified as "Monthly Average„ in. Part l of the

b. The "weekly average discharge"' is defined as the total mass of all daily discharges sampled
and/or measured during the calendar week (Sunday - Saturday) on which daily discharges
are sampled and measured, divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or
measured during such week. It is, therefore, an arithmetic mean found by adding the
weights of pollutants found each day of the week and then dividing this sum by the
number of days the tests were reported. This limitation is identified as "Weekly Average"
in Part I of the permit.
c. The "maximum daily discharge" is the total mass (weight) of a pollutant discharged during
a calendar day. If only one sample is taken during any calendar day the weight of pollutant
calculated from it is the "maximum daily discharge." This Limitation is identified as 'Daily
Maximum," in Pan 1 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 on days the tests were
reported. This limitation is defined as "Annual Average" in Part I of the permit.

a. Flow, (MGD): The flow limit expressed in this permit the 24 hours average flow,
averaged monthly. It is determined as the arithmetic mean of the totai daily flows recorded
during the calendar month.
b. An "instantaneous flow measurement" is a measure of flow taken at the time of sampling,
when both the sample and flow will be representative of the total discharge.
c. A "continuous flow measurement" is a measure of discharge flow from the facility which
occurs continually without interruption throughout the operating hours of the facility. Flow
shall be monitored continually except for the infrequent tunes when there may be no flow
or far infrequent maintenance activities on the flow device.
8. lypesofSamplel
a. Composite Sample: A composite sample shall consist of:
(1) a series of grab samples collected at equal time intervals over a 24 hoar 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 sarnple 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 ease may the time interval
between effluent grab samples be greater than six (6) hours nor the number of samples less
than four (4) during a 24 hour sampling period.
b. Grab Sample: Grab samples are individual samples collected over a period of time not
exceeding 15 minutes; the grab sample can be taken manually. Grab samples must be
representative of the discharge or the receiving waters.
9 Calculation of Meana
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).

5. iieNcli
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 cl .ms that
noncompliance was caused by upset, and before an action for noncompliance, is final
administrative action subject to judicial review.
c. Conditions necessary for a demonstration of upset.
A permittee who wishes to establish the affirmative defense of upset shall demonstrate,
through properly signed, contemporaneous operating logs, or other relevant evidence that:
(1) An upset occurred and that the permittee can identify the cause(s) of the upset;
(2) The permittee facility was at the time being properly operated; and
(3) The permittee submitted notice of the upset as required in Part II, E. 6. (b) (8) of this
permit
(4) The permittee complied with any remedial measures required under Part U, B, 2, of this
permit
d. Burden of proof.
In any enforcement proceeding the permittee seeking to establish the. occur tnce of an upset
has the burden of proof.
Solids, sludges, filter backwash, or other pollutants removed in the course of treatment or
control of wastewaters shall be utilized/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

PART IV - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Genwove U. S. LTD. manufactures veneers for the furniture
industry. The logs used for this purpose are frequently wetted
with water from the Union County water system to prevent cracking.
Water used for wetting logs is either absorbed by the ground or
enters a make up water pond (approximately 3/4 of an acre, owned by
the Company). Wood blocks are immersed in hot water for a period
of time to soften the wood texture for cutting. Water used for
this purpose is pumped from the make up water pond; and wastewater
generated from this process is discharged into a small settling
basin which enters the make up water pond via a ditch parallel to
the railroad tracks. Overflow from the make up water pond may
occur during heavy rain events. When it occurs the water is
discharged into a drainage ditch that may enter the South Fork
Crooked Creek.
Since the facility discharges into a zero flow stream, the
Technical Support Branch recommends the removal of this discharge
if an environmentally sound alternative is available. In addition,
the Technical Support Branch also requests that an engineering

Subject: NPDES Permit No. NC0046655
Genwove U. S. Ltd.
Union County, NC
Dear Mr. Cesarz:
Our records indicate that NPDES Permit No. NCOO46655 was
issued on November 17, 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 4-5.
Pages 4-5 set forth the effluent limitations and monitoring
requirements for your discharge(s). Your discharge(s) must not
exceed any of the limitations set forth. The section headed
"Monitoring Requirements" describes the measurement frequencies,
sample types and sampling locations. Upon commencement of your
discharge (or operation), you must initiate the required
monitoring. The monitoring results must be entered on the
reporting forms furnished to you by this Agency. If you have not
received these forms, they should be arriving shortly. If you fail
to receive the forms, please contact this Office as quickly as
possible. I have enclosed a sample of the "Effluent" reporting
form (DEM Form. MR-1), plus instructions for completing the form.
It is imperative that all applicable parts be completed, and the
original and one copy be submitted as required.
The remaining Parts of the Permit set forth definitions,
general conditions and special conditions applicable to the
operation of wastewater treatment facilities and/or discharge(s).
The conditions include special reporting requirements in the event
of noncompliance, bypasses, treatment unit/process failures, etc.
Also addressed are requirements for a certified wastewater
treatment plant operator if you are operating wastewater treatment

facilities. Any changes in operation of wastewater treatment
facilities, quantity and type of wastewater being treated or
discharged, expansions and/or upgrading of wastewater treatment
faciLities must be permitted or approved by this Agency.
Failure to comply with the terms and conditions of an NPDES
Permit subjects the Permittee to enforcement action pursuant to
Section 143-21.5.6 of the North Carolina General Statutes. A civil
penalty of up to $1O,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

ACUTE TOXICITY PASS/FAIL PERMIT LIMIT (QRTRLY)
Theper-mince shall conduct acute toxicity tests on a vvarrerly basis using protocols .defined in the. North Carolina.
Procedure Document entitled "Pass/Fail Methodology For .Determining Acute Toxicity In A Single .Effluent
Concentration." -Fhe, monitoring shall be performed as a Fathead Minnow (Pirnephales promelasi 24 hour static
rest. The effluent concentration at which there may be at no time significant acute mortality is. :290% (defined as
treatment two in the, North Carolina procedure document). Effluent samples for self -monitoring purposes inust be
obtained during representative effluent discharge below all waste treatment. The first test will be performed (titer
thirty days from the effective date of this permit upon the first discharge .from the facility during each quarter, the.
quarters defined as January:March, April -June, July -September, and October -December.
All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit condition will be entered on the .Effluent .Discharge
Monitoring Form (MR -I) for the, month in which it was performed, using the parameter code ICTE6C,
Additionally, DEM .Fonn A1'-2 (original) is to be sent to the following address:
Attention: Environmental Sciences Branch
North Carolina Division of
.Environmen Lai Management
4401 Reedy Creek Road
Raleigh, N.C. 27607
Test data shall be complete and accurate and include all supporting chemical/physical measurements performed in
association with the toxicity tests, as well as all dose/response data, Total residual chlorine of the effluent toxicity
sample must be measured and reported if chlorine is employed for disinfection of the waste stream.
Should any single quarterly monitoring indicate a failure to meet specified limits, subsequent monthly monitoring
will take place in any 'month in which a discharge occurs until such time that a single test is passed, Upon
passing, this monthly test requirement will revert to quarterly as specified above.
Should no discharge occur during any period in which monitoring is requited, the Division must be informed of
such in writing to the above address,
Should any test data from either these monitoring requirements or tests performed by the North Carolina Division
of Environmental Management indicate potential impacts to the receiving strewn, 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 organisrn.
survival and appropriate environmental controls, shall constitute an invalid tc.,st and will require immediate
retesting (within 30 days of initial monitoring event). Failure to submit suitable test results will constitute
noncompliance with :monitoring requirements.

MEMORANDUM
-TO: Dave Goodrich.
THROUGH: Matt Matthews l
FROM: Kristie Robeson
SUBJECT: Genwove U.S. Ltd.
NPDES Permit No. NC0046655
Union County
JAN
'"I
By cover letter dated November 17, 1994 the subject facility was issued NPDES
Permit No. NC0046655 with an effective date of January 1, 1995, and expiration date of
October 31, 1999. Upon review of the permit, a discrepancy was noted in the frequency
for toxicity testing. The M3 page of the permit specifies toxicity testing to be conducted.
quarterly and Part III, Condition E specifies toxicity testing will be conducted during the
first five discharge events and annually thereafter. This facility has an intermittent
discharge, therefore this office recommends the toxicity testing frequency language
contained in the M3 page be changed to read "Acute Toxicity -Episodic (Fathead Minnow),
see Part IJI, Condition E."
I appreciate your assistance to undertake the necessary steps to modify the existing
permit and incorporate the recommendation cited above. Should you have any questions,
please .feel free to contact me at 2136.

Wasteload Allocation Summary
(approach taken, correspondence with region, E'A, etc.)
Genwove manufactures veneers for the furniture industry. Wood is wetted and soaked in hot
water. The water seeps into the groundwater or is diverted to settling ponds and recycled. Boiler
blowdown water also goes to pond. Discharge would occur during rain event. Due to high BOD
readings in the past, a model was developed indicating the need for a BODS and D.O. limit. The
perrnit was modified previously to delete the total phenolics monitoring requirement (if any other
limit/monitoring modifications were made to the permit, please inform Technical Su ort)*—'",7C g jor
A toxicity test was done in 4/89 indicating an LC50=76% and in 6/89 indicating no acute toxicity,
Acute episodic toxicity monitoring is recommended with this renewal.
The facility has been reporting temperature and D.O. readings for the pond itself (no discharge).
G.T. Chen has made the facility aware of the problem.
Technically, since this goes to a 0 30Q2 and 0 7Q10 stream, and it does contain oxygen consuming
waste the Division can require the discharge to be eliminated. The region should comment on the
facility's ability to cease discharge (Are there any alternatives available? Can they continually
recycle the lagoon water so that there would never be a discharge?). The Groundwater Section at
MRO should be notified of the potential contamination.

of iron and aluminum were detected in the effluent. When the
wasteload is renewed, metals limits should be added, and no dilu-
tion should be accounted for.
The effluent should be sampled from the conveyance ditch out
of the second settling pond before it reaches the channel to the
lower Long Branch. Any instream monitoring that may be required
should be done On Long Branch before it reaches the Rocky River.
Any toxics should be sampled upstream of the confluence of the
lower Long Branch and the upper Long Branch.
Genwove U.S. Ltd.
The NPDES permit for Genwove expires on March 31, 1992. The
facility discharges to a UT to South Fork Crooked Creek, a class C
stream in the Yadkin River Basin. At the outfall, the stream has a
7Q10 of 0 cfs. The facility has a summer BOD5 limit of 7 mg/1 and
a winter limit of 10 mg/l. BOD5 data collected by Richard Bridge -
man in April, 1989 indicated concentrations of 48 and 150 mg/l.
The DMR files contained only one sample collected in April, 1989 at
35.3 mg/1. The only other DMR data was whether there was flow or
no flow on about 4 days of each month.
Richard Bridgeman said that the facility usually does not
discharge since it pumps water from the settling pond back up to a
log wetting area (Genwove makes wood veneer). Most of this water
is seeping into the groundwater and may be a source of contamina-
tion. Therefore, Richard believes that the log wetting area should
be cemented to prevent groundwater contamination. A discharge to
surface waters would then occur daily except during the driest.
times of the year.
Phenols and arsenic were also sampled. The arsenic was below
detection, and the phenols concentration was 56 ug/1. The toxicity
of the phenols cannot be determined without knowing which phenolic
compounds comprise this measurement and their respective concen-
trations. Certain phenolic compounds can be toxic, but the
standard for water supplies was developed to account for taste and
odor problems.
The Water Quality Section should work with the Groundwater
Section to determine the best course of action for the water
recycled to wet the logs. The facility should increase its BOD5
treatment capability in order to meet its effluent limits when it
discharges. The facility should also indicate daily whether there
is a discharge or not, and should develop a method to measure the
flow when it discharges.
Rauch Industries
Rauch Industries discharges to a UT to Crowders Creek which is
characterized by a 7Q10 of 0.1 cfs. The NPDES permit for Rauch
Industries expires on April 30, 1993. The facility has secondary
limits in its NPDES permit, and the only metals limit is fluoride
at 11 mg/l. The facility is currently under an SOC (began 9/14/89

ACUTE TOXICITY MONITORING (EPISODIC)
The penrtittee shall conduct FIVE acute toxicity tests using protocols defined as definitive in.
E.P.A. Document 600/4-85/013 entitled 'The Acute Toxicity of Effluents to Freshwater and
Marine Organisms." The monitoring shall be performed as a Fathead Minnow (Pirnephales
promelas) 24 hour static test, using effluent collected as a single grab sample. Effluent samples
for self -monitoring purposes must be obtained below all waste treatment. Sampling and
subsequent testing will occur during the first five discrete discharge events after the effective date
of this permit. After monitoring of the first five toxicity tests, the perrnittee will conduct one test
annually, with the annual period beginning in January of the next calendar year. The annual test
requirement must be performed and reported by June 30. If no discharge occurs by June 30,
notification will be made to the Division by this date. Toxicity testing will be performed on the
next discharge event for the annual test requirement.
The parameter code for this test is TAE6C. All toxicity testing results required as part of this
permit condition will be entered on the Effluent Discharge Form (MR-1) for the month in which it.
was performed, using the appropriate parameter code. Additionally, DEM Form AT-1 (original) is
to be sent to the following address:

Test data shall ', f complete and accurate and include all supporting chemical/physical measurements
performed in association with the toxicity tests, as well as all dose/response data. Total residual
chlorine of the effluent toxicity sample must be measured and reported if chlorine is employed for
disinfection of the waste stream.
Should any test data from either these monitoring requirements 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.
Failure to submit suitable test results will constitute noncompliance with monitoring requirements.

Dear Cesarz:
Our records indicate that NPDES Permit No. NC0046655 was
issued on February 26, 1993 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 4-5.
Pages 4-5 set forth the effluent limitations and monitoring
requirements for your discharge(s). Your discharge(s) must not
exceed any of the limitations set forth. The section headed
"Monitoring Requirements" describes the measurement frequencies,
sample types and sampling locations. Upon commencement of your
discharge (or operation), you must initiate the required
monitoring. The monitoring results must be entered on the
reporting forms•furnished to you by this Agency. If you have not
received these forms, they should be arriving shortly. If you fail
to receive the forms, please contact this Office as quickly as
possible. I have enclosed a sample of the "Effluent" reporting
form (DEM Form MR-1), plus instructions for completing the form.
It is imperative that all applicable parts be completed, and the
original and one copy be submitted as required.
The remaining Parts of the Permit set forth definitions,
general conditions and special conditions applicable to the

operation of wastewater treatment facilities and/or discharge(s).
The conditions include special reporting requirements in the event
of noncompliance, bypasses, treatment unit/process failures, etc.
Also addressed are requirements for a certified wastewater
treatment plant operator if you are operating wastewater treatment
facilities. Any changes in operation of wastewater treatment
facilities, quantity and type of wastewater being treated or
discharged, expansions and/or upgrading of wastewater treatment
facilities must be permitted or approved by this Agency.
Failure to comply with the terms and conditions of an NPDES
Permit subjects the Permittee to enforcement action pursuant to
Section 143-215.6 of the North Carolina General Statutes. A civil
penalty of up to $10,000 per violation plus 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.
