C"°NI PERMIT LIMIT (QUARTERLY)
The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit observable inhibition of reproduction or significant mortality to
Ceriodaphnia dubia at an effluent concentration of 1.8 %.
The permit holder shall perform at a minimum, quarterly monitoring using test procedures outlined in the
"North Carolina Ceriodaphnia Chronic Effluent Bioassay Procedure," Revised February 1998, or subsequent
versions or "North Carolina Phase LI Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure" (Revised -February 1998)
or subsequent versions. The tests will be performed during the months of March, June, September and
December. Effluent sampling 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 11 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
11 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 parameter code TGP3B for

that you thoroughly read the Permit. Of particular importance are Pages 4.
Pages 4 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
Requirem.ents" 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 forms, please
contact this Office as quickly as possible. I have enclosed a sample of the "Effluent" reporting form
(DWQ 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.
Please be advised that an annual administering and compliance monitoring fee may be.

Subject: Issuance of NPDES Permit NC00839841
Grover Plant
Cleveland County
Dear Mr. Patterson:
[he Division of Wi,iter Quulity (the Division) hereby issues this final permit for the subject facility. This
permit is issued to Grover Industries, Inc. pursuant to the requirements of North Carolina General
Statute 143-215,1 and the Memorandum of Agreement between North Carolina and the U.S,
nvironmental Protection Agency dated May 9, 1994, or as subsequently amended.
General changes to your previous permit include the following:
• Alterations to limits and monitorinbased on current production activi es,
Revised metals and toxicant monitoring and li limits based on a Reasonable Potential Analysis
(RPA), and
Provisions for resuming federally regulatedrcgulated uperat1on
The Division acknowledges Grover's request to retain production -based permit limits and monitoring
requirements, 'however the Division must deny this request at this time. Since Grover transferred
federally regulated yarn dyeing operations in 2001.to. its sister -facility in Tryon, local plant operations
have, been confined to yarn manufacturing only .(see Division letter dated April 28, 2004) and there is
no firm date for restart of these processes.. This permit renewal and issuance therefore limits
discharge to non -categorical, non process -contact cooling water and domestic sanitary sewer
wastes.
Corrections to the Draft Permit The draft permit erroneously indicated -grab" samples for several
parameters. These have beencorrected to indicate -composite" sampling, as required in the previous
permit [See permit Effluent Limitation and Monitoring Requirements, A. (1.)1.
Permit Modification Required for Renewed Dyeing Operations. Should future, business warrant
renewed dyeing production under 40CFR 41.0.70, the permittee may submit a request to modify this
permit accompanied by production goals, ‘vaste-eharacterization, anticipated flow(s), and a firm startup
schedule. The Division is bound by rule to base effluent limits and monitoring requirements on actual
production and may not permit activities without waste flows, N•vaste character zation, or a firm
production schedule,

Considering the above, appropriate permit limits have been recalculated based on recent production of
yarn spinning and related treatment wastes (non -categorical), and the discharge of cooling water and
sanitary sewer wastes {see permit Effluent 'Limitations and Alonitoring Requiretnents, A.(1.). Permit
chang,es are SUITMlariZed as follows:
Deleted pre‘ious limits and monitoring requirements related to the categorically regulated
parameters POD. COD, TSS, Sulfide, Phenols, Chlorides, and Total. Chromium,
New limits Added. .Based on current discharge o anitary sewer and non process -contact cooling
water, monitoring requirements include ,BOD5 and -FSS with a Weekly monitoring frequency. "Fotal
Residual Chlorine has been limited, as required statewide, and fecal coliform monitoring has been
retained -- each with a 'Weekly monitoring -frequency. Finally, the Division has retained Quarterly
monitoring of .metals and Chronic WET testing, to evaluate the potential for stream impacts due to
residual toxins and metals remaining in the treatment. system.
If any parts, measurement frequencies, or sampling requirements contained in this perrinit are
unacceptable, you have the right to an adjudicatory hearing upon written request within thirty (30)
days after receiving this letter, Your request must be in the form of a written petition conforming to
Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes, and must be filed ‘viththe office of

STANDARD CONDITIONS FOR NPDES PERMITS
SECTION A, DEFINITIONS
1. Permit Issuing Authority
The Director of the Division of Water Quality.
2. DEM or "the Division"
Means the Division of Water Quality, Department of Environment, Health and Natural Resources.
3, EM
Used herein means the North Carolina Environmental Management Commission.
4. Act or "the Act"
The Federal Water Pollution Control Act, also known as the Clean Water Act, as amended, 33 USC
1251, et. seq.
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 1 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.

Part II

f. 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 1 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) ofall the samples collected during that calendar day. The average weekly count for
fecal coliform bacteria is the geometric mean of the counts for samples collected during a
calendar week. This limitation is identified as "Weekly Average" under "Other Limits" in
Part I of the permit.
c. The "maximum daily concentration" is the concentration of a pollutant discharge during a
calendar day. If only one 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 sarnples
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.

It shall not be a defense for a permittee in an enforcement action that it would have been necessary
to halt or reduce the permitted activity in order to maintain compliance with the condition of this
permit.
4. Bypassing of Treatment Facilities
a. Definitions
(1) "Bypass" means the known diversion of waste streams from any portion of a treatment
facility including the collection system, which is not a designed or established or operating
mode for the facility.
(2) "Severe property damage" means substantial physical damage to property, damage to the
treatment facilities which causes them to become inoperable, or substantial and permanent
loss of natural resources which can reasonably be expected to occur in the absence of a
bypass. Severe property damage does not mean economic 'loss caused by delays in
production.
b. Bypass not exceeding limitations.
The permittee may allow any bypass to occur which- does not cause effluent limitations to be
exceeded, but only if it also is for essential maintenance to assure efficient operation. These
bypasses are not subject to the provisions of Paragraphs c. and d. of this section.
c. Notice
(1) Anticipated bypass. If the permittee knows in advance of the need for a bypass, it shall
submit prior notice, if possible at least ten days before the date of the bypass; including an
evaluation of the anticipated quality and affect of the bypass.
(2) Unanticipated bypass. The permittee shall submit notice of an unanticipated bypass as
required in Part II, E. 6. of this permit. (24 hour notice).
d. Prohibition of Bypass
(1) Bypass is prohibited and the Pe
a permittee for bypass, unless:
Issuing Authority may take enforcement action against
(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 permittee submitted notices as required under Paragraph c. of this section.

Upsets
a. Definition.
"Upset " means an exceptional incident in which there is unintentional and temporary
noncompliance with technology based permit effluent limitations because of factors beyond the
reasonable control of the permittee. An upset does not include noncompliance to the extent
caused by operational error, improperly designed treatment facilities, inadequate treatment
facilities, lack of preventive maintenance, or careless or improper operation.
b. Effect of an upset.
An upset constitutes an affirmative defense to an action brought for noncompliance with such
technology based permit effluent limitations if the requirements of paragraph c. of this
condition are met. No determination made during administrative review of claims that
noncompliance was caused by upset, and before an action for noncompliance, is final
administrative action subject to judicial review.
c. Conditions necessary for a demonstration of upset.
A permittee who wishes to establish the affirmative defense of upset shall demonstrate,
through properly signed, contemporaneous operating logs, or other relevant evidence that:
(1) An upset occurred and that the permittee can identify the cause(s) of the upset;
(2) The permittee facility was at the time being properly operated; and
(3) The permittee submitted notice of the upset as required in. Part I1, E. 6. (b) (B) of this permit.
(4) The permittee complied with any remedial measures required under Part Il, 13. 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 utilized/disposed of in accordance with NCGS 143-2151 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 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 permittee shall notify the Permit Issuing
Authority of any significant change in its sludge use or disposal practices.
7. Power Failures
The permittee is responsible for maintaining adequate safeguards as required by DEM Regulation,
Title 15A, North Carolina Administrative Code, Subchapter 2H, .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.

SECTION D. MON➢TQRING AND RECORDS
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. All 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, I.l, 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.
Duplicate signed copies of these, and all other reports required herein, shall be submitted to the
following address:

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 l of this permit and based on the manufacturer's pump curves shall not be subject to this
requirement.
T�
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 1I
Page 11 of 1 4
reporting levels below permit discharge requirements, then the most sensitive (method with the
lowest possible detection and reporting level) approved method must be used.
5. 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
committed after a first conviction of such person under this paragraph, punishment is a fine of not
more than $20,000 per day of violation, or by imprisonment of not more than 4 years, or both.
b. Records Retention

PART IV - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Grover Industries (GI) has requested renewal of the subject Permit One significant change
that has occurred to this facility since the permit was last renewed is that GI no longer operates a
yarn dying operation due to poor economic conditions. Such being the case, the only wastewater
produced at GI is domestic and non -process wastewater. The current WWT facilities are
operating at less than 50% capacity as a result of the loss of the dying operation. As a result of
the loss of the process water waste stream, GI is requesting that the renewed permit contain two
(2) separate set of effluent limitations; one for the current waste stream (no process wastewater),
and one set of limitations for when the dying operation is resumed.
In addition to the dual set of effluent limitations requested by the permittee, the NPDES
Unit should also evaluate the need for the continuation of composite sampling as required in the
current permit. The existing WWT facility typically discharges only once per day .for a very short
period of time (usually 5 to 10 minutes). The discharge from the chlorine contact chamber is
float -activated, and when a discharge occurs, all but about an 8-inch water depth of the chlorine
contact chamber is released (roughly about 7000 gallons per discharge). Although the current
permit requirement for collection of time -based 24-hour composite samples is being met, the
current collection method is not practical given the duration and .quantity of the actual discharge.
Consideration should be given to requiring grab samples until such time as production returns and
hydraulic flows increase.
There are no other changes proposed to the NPDES Permit or WWTP at this time.
Pending receipt and approval of the WLA, it is recommended that the NPDES Permit be
reissued as requested.

Dear Mr, Patterson:
In response to the Grover Industries' request to renew discharge activities at the subject site, the
Division of Water Quality (the Division) hereby transmits this draft permit for your review and
comment. Please provide written comments, if needed within 30 days of receiving this notice.
The Division understands that Grover made significant changes in production during this last permit
cycle. Federally regulated yarn dyeing operations were discontinued at this 'facility and transfeiTed to
Grover's sister facility in Tryon, North Carolina in October of 2001. Since that time, the Grover plant
operations have been confined to yam manufacturing only, and effluent has been therefore limited to
non -categorical, non process -contact cooling water and domestic sanitary sewer wastes. The Division
acknowledges that Grover has requested to retain a production -based effluentpage in its permit to
facilitate restarting yam dying processes in the future, should business warrant. However, the Division
must deny this request at this time.
The Draft permit includes the following general changes from the previous permit:
Alterations to limits and monitoring based on new production data
Revision of metals and toxicants monitoring and limits based on a Reasonable potential
Analysis (RPA)
Provisions for resuming operations.
Permit Modification Required for Renewed Dyeing Production. The Division is bound to base
effluent limits and monitoring requirements on actual production.. Without waste flows, accurate waste
characterization, or a firm schedule for renewed production, the Division may not grant Grover's
request for an effluent page to regulate these discontinued processes, -However, should future business
warrant renewed production under 40CFR 410.70, the permittee is entreated to submit a request to
modify this permit accompanied by production goals, waste -characterization, anticipated flow(s), and
a firm schedule for startup.

Accordingly, appropriate permit limits have been recalculated for this draft based on recent production
data for yarn spinning and related treatment and discharge of cooling. water and sanitary sewer wastes
[see permit Effluent Limitations and Monitoring Requirements, A.(1.)]. Permit changes are summarized
below:
Deleted previous limits and monitoring requirements related to categorically regulated
parameters BOD5, COD, TSS, Sulfide, Phenols, Chlorides, and Total Chromium.
Add New limits Page. Based on the current discharge of sanitary sewer and non process -contact
cooling water, monitoring requirements will be established as Secondary Limits for BOD5 and TSS
with a Weekly monitoring frequency. Total Residual Chlorine will be limited, as required statewide,
and fecal coliform monitoring will be retained, each with a Weekly monitoring frequency. To
monitor the potential impact of residual toxics and metals remaining in the treatment system, the
Division will require Quarterly monitoring of metals 'previou.sly tested) and Chronic WET testing.
Concurrent with this notification, the Division is publishing a notice in the newspapers having.
circulation in the general Cleveland County area., soliciting public comment on this permit draft. Please
provide any comments you may have regarding this draft to 1DENR DWQ, NPDES Unit no later
than 30 days after receiving this draft permit. Following the 30-day public comment period, the
Division will review all pertinent comments and take appropriate action prior to issuing a final permit.

Prior 'to resuming operations at the Grover Plant that would result in the discharge of process wastewater not
specifically authorized in this permit, the Per ittee must first obtain a modification of this permit as Authorization
to operate.
a) The Permittee must subs t to the Division a written request for permit modification no later than 180 days
prior to the proposed initiation of discharge.
b) This request must include, at a minimum, the following information
1) Description of the manufacturing process, products, and expected annual production.
2) Flow diagram indicating process and wastewater flow volumes
3) Characteristics of wastewater to he discharged
4) I:)escription of any planned expansions or upgrades to the treatment system.
5) Engineering Alternatives Analysis (EAA) of wastewater disposal alternatives including
connecting to an existing municipal treatment facility and non -discharge alternatives

A. (3.) CHRONIC TOXICITY PERMIT LIMIT (QUARTERLY)
The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit observable inhibition of reproduction or significant mortality to
Ceriodaphnia dubia at an .effluent concentration of 1.8 %.
The permit holder shall perform at a minimum, quarterly monitoring using test procedures outlined in the
"North Carolina Ceriodaphnia Chronic Effluent Bioassay Procedure," Revised February 1998, or subsequent
versions or "North Carolina Phase 11 Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure" (Revised -February 1998)
or subsequent versions. The tests will he performed during the months of March, May, June, and December.
Effluent sampling 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
11 Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure" (Revised-Febtuary 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 -I) for the months in which tests were performed, using the parameter code TCP3113 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:
Environmental Sciences Branch
North Carolina Division of
Water Quality.,,
1621 Mail Servke Center
Raleigh; North Carolina 27699-1621
Completed Aquatic Toxicity Test Forths shall be filed with the Environmental Sciences Branch 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 orlipproved 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 complete 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
Branch at the address cited above.
Should the permittee fail to monitor during a month in which toxicity monitoring 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.

PERMIT HISTORY AND COMPLIANCE REVIEW
Application to Renew. The Division received an application, Form 2C, to renew this perrnit on March 7,
2003 including the required supplemental Priority Pollutant Analyses (PPA). The application states that
Grover's current discharge is limited to non-federally-regulated/non process -contact wastes because
stock and yam dying at this facility were discontinued in October of 2001. In hopes of renewed customer
orders in the future, Grover has requested to retain a production -based effluent page to facilitate restarting
federally regulated processes during the upcoming permit cycle.
Regional Staff Report. In response to the renewal request, Mooresville Regional Office (MRO)
conducted a site inspection and prepared a Staff Report dated August 11, 2003. The MRO recommended
that Grover industries .permit be renewed, and that application requests be considered noting that this
facility discontinued dying of yarn on July 20, 2001 due to lack of business.
Previous -Permit and Waste Load Allocation (WLA). Division WLA records for Grover Industries date
from 1994 when several sites were considered for discharge (Lick Branch and two on Buffalo Creek). Two
were rejected based on poor stream conditions and discharge commenced at the current outfall.. The
Division prepared a WLA in 'February 1994 and developed effluent- limits and monitoring considering an in -
stream waste concentration (1.W(..?.) of 1,8 %. in 1997 the permit was modified to include instream
monitoring to evaluate turbidity in Buffalo Creek. The current permit became effective April 1,. 2000
expiring on August 31, 2003
Whole Effluent Toxicity (WET) Tests and Notices of Violation (NOVs). Grover failed several toxicity
tests beginning in March of 2001, but resolved toxicity issues by July of that year. All quarterly WET
testing prior to this failure (beginning January 1997) and subsequently (10 quarters, July 2001 through
September 2003) indicate "pass."
Verifying Existing Stream Conditions. This facility discharges to .Buffalo Creek, [stream segment 9-53-
(5)1, a Class C stream within the Broad River Basin. This stream segment is not "impaired" [not. 303(d)
listedl„ and was rated in 1998 as "Good" below Kings Mountain Reservoir (ba.sed on benthic biota).
PERMITTING APPROACH
Federally Regulated Processes Discontinued. Regulations 'applicable to this facility include 40CFR
410.70. Subpart G — Stock and Yarn Finishing Subcategory used to set production -based discharge limits
based on Best Practicable Technology, Section 410.72 (a) IBM and Best Available Technology, Section
410.72 (b) [BAT]. The previous permit limit calculations were based on an average daily production rate of
19,000 ilbs per day. However, the permittee has discontinued dyeing processes at this facility.
Permittee's Request for Two Effluent Pages. Grover discontinued dying operations at this facility on
October 6, 2001transferring all 40 CFR-regulated production to its sister 'facility in Tryon, North Carolina
under .NPDES Permit NC0004391. Therefore, Grover's active operations are confined to yarn
manufacturing only generating non -categorical, non -contact cooling water, domestic sanitary sewer wastes.
Anticipating renewed business, Grover has requested to retain a production -based effluent page in its permit
to -facilitate restarting dying processes as needed during the next permit cycle (see Application to Renew)

Permit Modification Required for Renewed I)ying Productiin. Because the Division as tast base
effluent limits and monitoring requirements on actual production, it has no basis to regulate discontinued
processes. Should future business warrant renewed production under 40CFR 410,70, the pennitte-e must
submit a request to modify this permit accompanied by substantiated production, waste -characterization and
anticipated tlotv(s), and a firm schedule for startup.
Revised Effluent Limits and Monitoring Requirements. The renewed penaait regulates sanitary =°antes
and cooling water from the manufacture of cotton yarns (no dyeing). These constitute non -categorical, non
process -contact wastewater activities and processes [see Effluent Page A (1.)].
RENEWAL SUMMARY
The pennittee has discont►nued yarn dying process regulated under 40CFR 41.0.70 Sub!
and Yarn Finishing Subcategory. Therefore, this permit is drafted to reflect discharge of domestic and
non -categorical process wastes only through Outfall 001:
Delete previous limits and monitoring requirements for categorically regulated parameters
BO1)5, COD, TSS, Sulfide. Phenols, chlorides, and Total Chromium.
Revise Limits and Monitoring Page. Based t current discharge of sanitary server and non
process -contact contact wastewater, limits and monitoring requirements will be established as
Secondary Limits for ROD5 and TSS with a Weekly monitoring frequency. Total. Residual
Chlorine will he limited, as required statewide, and fecal coliform monitoring will be retained,
each with a Weekly monitoring frequency. To monitor the potential impact of residual toxics and
metals renlainit g in the treatment system, the. Division will require Eurrrterly monitoring of
metals ('previously tested) and. Chronic WET testing.

Dear Permittee:
The NPDES Unit received your permit renewal application on March 7, 2003 Thank you for submitting
package.
The permit renewal for this facility has been assigned to a staff member This staff member will contact you, if further
information is needed to complete the permit renewal, Please note that the NPDES Unit has several vacant
positions. This staff shortage has lasted for over 4 years and is delaying all permit renewals. OUT remaining permit
writers are currently reviewing Authorizations to Construct, speculative limit requests, major permit modifications
and 201 plan updates ahead of permit renewals. This is necessary due to a variety of factors, including mandatory
deadlines in the statutes which govern our program.
If this staff shortage delays reissuance of NC0083984 the existing requirements in your permit will remain in effect
until the permit is renewed (or the Division takes other action). We appreciate your patience and understanding
while we operate with a severely depleted staff. If you have any additional questions concerning renewal of the
subject permit, please contact Charles Weaver at [phone], extension 511

Dear Mr , Stephens:
We wish to renew our subject wastewater permit that will expire on August 31, 2003.
Please find attached for your review and consideration the required permit application
package as follows:
• Signed cover letter and two copies
• Form 1 General, original and two copies
Two separate 2 C Forms., originals with two copies
• Sludge management plan, original and two copies
• Priority Pollutant Analysis
On July 20, 2001 the dyeing of yarn was discontinued at this facility pending future
improvement of business conditions. We continue the manufacturing of cotton yarns for
the upholstery and home furnishing industries and will maintain this production for the
foreseeable future. Since this change has occurred, we do not have any process or
production that produces wastewater. Grover Industries is a privately owned facility with
a wastewater treatment plant receiving only domestic and non -process wastewater. The
WWTP now operates at fifty per cent capacity as recommended by the manufacturer,
Aqua Aerobic, to optimize the reduced domestic flow rate. As reported in firm 2 C, the
plant effluent is well within all permit parameter limits.

The yarn dyeing operation has continued at our Grover Industries Tryon Division facility
and we anticipate starting the dyeing production again here when our customer orders
require it. It is with this in mind that we request that the NPDES permit contain two
separate sets of requirements containing the present domestic operation and future
industrial operation as specified in the existing permit. Upon your approval, the day that
the dyeing operation is put back in operation we would change to the other required set of
effluent limitations and monitoring report requirements. Also, the wastewater plant would
be changed back to the designed flow rate and operation.
The drains from the dyeing area were disconnected from the sanitary sewer so that no
dyeing can occur until the decision is made to start up again. We will immediately notify
you if and when we plan to continue the dyeing of yarn and also if the decision is made to
permanently close the dyeing operation.
You can contact me at [phone] or Randy Patterson, Plant Manager, at (704) 937-
7434 ext. 134 if you have any questions or require additional information.

GROVER INDUSTRIES SLUDGE
MANAGEMENT PLAN
Figure 1, illustrates the Grover Sequencing Batch Reactor system,
including the solids wasting operations. Grover Industry's sludge
management plan consists of the following steps:
REACTORS 1 & 2
After the settling phase is completed, solids are wasted to the digester at
the rate of 120 GPM for 0.3 minutes per cycle. There are five cycles per
reactor per day. This procedure is flexible and at the control of the
operator. Solids are normally 0.75-to-1% in concentration at this point.
DIGESTER
The digester is a glass -fused steel tank 42 feet in diameter, 12 feet high,
and with nine foot maximum liquor depth. A 15 horsepower aerator is
employed, with a design retention time of about 30 days. The digester is
operated in two modes - aeration and settling. The aerator is operated for
30 minutes on and 30 minutes off. After settling, supernatant is returned
to the reactors. Settled solids are pumped to the sand drying beds once a
month. Estimated operating power is 13.8 BHP (274.4 Kw hours/day).
The digester is pumped down approximately six feet in depth.
SAND BEDS
There are four sand beds each 40 feet by 20 feet in size, and covered.
Approximately 2500-3000 gallons of biosolids are applied per bed to a
depth of about 12 inches. Polymer is added into the digester line at the
rate of 2.5 gallons of polymer per bed. Solids are allowed to dry for seven -
to -eight days, until well cracked, A front-end loader is used to remove
solids. Solids are stored in a 40-cubic yard covered hopper.
Approximately 4.6 tons of dried solids are taken monthly to a BIF landfill
in Concord, NC, for disposal.

GROVER INDUSTRIES SLUDGE
MANAGEMENT PLAN
Figure 1, illustrates the Grover Sequencing Batch Reactor system,
including the solids wasting operations. Grover Industry's sludge
management plan consists of the following steps:
REACTORS 1 & 2
After the settling phase is completed, solids are wasted to the digester at
the rate of 120 GPM for 0.3 minutes per cycle. There are five cycles per
reactor per day. This procedure is flexible and at the control of the
operator. Solids are normally 0.75-to-1 % in concentration at this point.
DIGESTER
The digester is a glass -fused steel tank 42 feet in diameter, 12 feet high,
and with nine foot maximum liquor depth. A 15 horsepower aerator is
employed, with a design retention time of about 30 days. The digester is
operated in two modes - aeration and settling. The aerator is operated for
30 minutes on and 30 minutes off. After settling, supernatant is returned
to the reactors. Settled solids are pumped to the sand drying beds once a
month. Estimated operating power is 13.8 BHP (274.4 Kw hours/day).
The digester is pumped down approximately six feet in depth.
SAND BEDS
There are four sand beds each 40 feet by 20 feet in size, and covered.
Approximately 2500-3000 gallons of biosolids are applied per bed to a
depth of about 12 inches. Polymer is added into the digester line at the
rate of 2.5 gallons of polymer per bed. Solids are allowed to dry for seven -
to -eight days, until well cracked. A front-end loader is used to remove
solids. Solids are stored in a 40-cubic yard covered hopper.
Approximately 4.6 tons of dried solids are taken monthly to a BIF landfill
in Concord, NC, for disposal.

Dear Mr. Harry:
A review of the subject permit issued July 29, 1994 by the Division of Environmental
Management and subsequent review of your letter submitted September 28, 1995 revealed that the
classification of the facility should be modified, Because the permit was drafted before the
classification of the facility could be evaluated, the monitoring frequencies reflect the highest
classification. The classification of the facility has been confirmed as Class II. Therefore, in
compliance with 15A NCAC 2B .0500, the monitoring frequencies in the permit have been
modified to reflect a Class II facility. Also, based on the letter from ERM dated January 30, 1995,
the instream turbidity monitoring has been clarified and the turbidity monitoring has been modified
to twice per month. After one year of data have been collected, Grover Industries may request that
the Division re-evaluate the turbidity limit and monitoring requirement. Enclosed please find the
corrected effluent limits page. This page should be inserted into your permit and the old one
discarded. 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 U. S.
Environmental Protection Agency dated December 6, 1983.
This letter also serves to amend the Authorization to Construct permit issued May 25, 1995 by
the Division. The amendment shall relieve the facility from the inclusion of standby power.
Standby power shall not be required due to the power outage records which indicate that no outage
in the past 5 years has exceeded 30 minutes. This is acceptable for a Class C water body [Buffalo
Creek is a Class C water body].
If any parts, measurement frequencies or sampling requirements changed by 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.

SECTION A. DEFINITIONS
I. Permit Is uing Authority
The Director of the Division of Envirortmenagement.
2. DEMM or Division
Means the Division of Enironrental Management, Department of Environment, Health and
Natural Resources.
3.

4. Act or "the Act"
The Federal Water Pollution Control Act, also known as the Clean Water Act, as amended. 33
USC 1:51, et. seq.
5 �ja.ss'Dav a5ur; mint
a. The "'monthly average discharge" is defined as the total mass of all daily discharges
sampled and."or rneasured 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 v ere reported. The limitation is identified as "Monthly Average" in Part I of the
permit..
b. The'"eek]y 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 sarnple 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 sarnpied
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
vear. 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.

Part Il

6. Core tration 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 1 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 andior 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 (arithmetk 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 sarnples is the arithmetic mean (weighted by
flow value) of all the samples collected during that calendar day. The average weekly count
for fecal coliform bacteria is the geometric mean of the counts for samples collected during
a calendar week. This limitation is identified as "Weekly Average" under "Other Limits" in
Part I of the pemiit.
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
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 andior measured during a calendar year on
hich daily discharges are sampled and measured divided by the number of daily
discharges sampled ancifor 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
r aiue) 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 sarnples 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 I.
f. The "quarterly average concentration" is the average of all samples taken over a calendar
quarter. It is identified as "Quarterly Average Limitation" in the text of Part I of the permit.
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 Measurernentl
a. Flow. (MOD): 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 wiU 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 sarnples 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
a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24 hour period with the time
inter\ als 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
stem. or
(3) a single, continuous sample collected over a 24 hour period proportional to the rate of
fl o.
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
inter% als evenly spaced over the 24 hour period which are equal in number of hours to the
detention time of the system in number of days. However, in no case may the time interval
between effluent grab samples be greater than six (6) hours nor the number of samples less
than four (4) during a 24 hour sampling period.
b. Grab Sample: Grab samples are individual samples collected over a period of time not
exceeding 15 minutes; the grab sample can be taken manually. Grab samples must be
representative of the discharge or the receiving waters.
9. calculation of Meansa •
Arithmetic Mean: The arithmetic mean of any set of values is the summation of the
individual values divided by the number of individual va/ues.
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 II
Page 4 of 14
c. Weighted by Flow Value: Weighted by flow value means the summation of each
concentration tirnes its respective flow divided by the summation of the respective flows.
la Calendar Dav
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 daymay be used for sarnpling.
11. Hazardous Substance
A hazardous substance means any substance designated under 40 CFR Pan 116 pursuant to
Section 311 of the Clean Water Act.
12. Toxic Pollutant
A toxic pollutant is any pollutantpo]lutarfl iisted as toxic under Section 307(a)(1) of the Clean Water Act.

4. Byp4,c sin; of Facilities
a. Definitions
(I) "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.
'Severe property darnage" 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 perrrittee may allow any bypass to occur which does not cause effluent limitations to
be exceeded, but only if it also is for essential maintenance to assure efficient operation.
These bypasses arc 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 permittee shall submit notice of an unanticipated bypass as
required in Part II, E. 6. of this permit. (24 hour notice).
d. Prohibition of Bypass
(1) Bypass is prohibited and the Permit Issuing Authority may take enforcement action
against a permittee for bypass, unless:
(A) Bypass was unavoidable to prevent loss of life, personal injury or severe property
damage;
(B) There were no feasible alternatives to the bypass, such as the use auxiliary
treatment fae;ljties, retention of untreated wastes or maintenance during normal

Part II
Page 9 of 14
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 permittee 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.
5. 1:.;sets
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 ccnstitutes an affirmative defense to an action brought for noncompliance with
such technology based permit effluent limitations lithe requirements of paragraph c. of this
condition are met. No determination made during administrative review of claims that
noncornpliance 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:
(11, An upset occurred and that the permit -tee can identify the causes) of the upset;
( The permittee facility was at the time being properly operate& and
(3) The permittee submitted notice of the upset as required in Pan II, 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. Burden of proof.
In any enforcement proceeding the perrnittee sceking 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 w asttNkaters 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 Stat:.
or navicable waters of the United States, The permittee shall comply with all existing federal

Part 11
Page 10 of 14
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 perminec
shall notify the Permit Issuing Authority of any significant change in its sludge use or disposal
practices.
7. Power Failures
The permittee is responsible for maintaining adequate safeguards as required by DEM
Regulation, Title 15A, North Carolina Administrative Code, Subchapter 2H, .0124 Reliability,
to prevent the discharge of untreated or inadequately treated wastes during electrical power

Special Order by Consent
EMC WQ No. 94-02 Ad.
Dear Mr. Goodrich:
On behalf of Grover Industries, we are hereby submitting the referenced
request. Attached is a set of plans and specifications for both a new
wastewater treatment facility and a new discharge pipeline to carry treated
effluent from the new treatment facility to Buffalo Creek. This project has
been initiated according to the requirements of the referenced Special Order
by Consent (SOC), which requires Grover Industries to cease discharge of all
wastewater to the wastewater treatment works owned by New Minette
Textiles, Inc. The referenced NPDES Permit was issued for the new Grover
Industries discharge to Buffalo Creek on July 29, 1994 and became effective
on September 1, 1994. The NPDES Permit has a flow limit of 0.38 MGD,
although the current flow averages roughly 0.30 MGD.
Mr. Richard Bridgeman of your Mooresville Regional Office has been kept
informed on a regular basis as to Grover's progress on this project and in
meeting the conditions of the SOC. During the preliminary engineering phase
of this project, a sequencing batch reactor (SBR) system was selected to treat
the Grover Industries wastewater.

The new wastewater treatment systen
l consist ofthe following operations,
Screening: One Hycor RSA-2524 Rotostrainer with 0.03-inch screen
openings will be used to remove solids from the influent wastewater. The
screened solids will be discharged into 55-;gallon drums and disposed of at
a local non -hazardous waste landfill.
2. SBR System: The SBR system will consist of two identical reactors.
Automatic controls will route the incoming flow to one reactor at a time.
The cycle of operation will consist of the following stages: fill, react,
settle, and decant. At the end of the fill stage of one reactor, incoming
flow will automatically be redirected to the second reactor, As the second
reactor is filling, the first reactor will be going through its react, settle, and
decant stages. The process will then repeat itself, alternating with each
basin. The SBR. tanks will be glass -fused steel tanks 48 feet in diameter,
19 feet high with a maximum water level of 16 feet, Each SBR basin will
contain a 7.5 HP mixer, a floating gravity decanter, two l0-tube
retrievable coarse bubble diffusers, and a 2-HP submersible sludge pump.
3. Disinfection: A gas chlorination system and chlorine contact chamber will
be provided to allow for a minimum of 30 minutes detention time at peak
flow, Because of the varying flow rates during the decant cycles of the
SBRs, the chlorine contact chamber will provide significantly more than
30 minutes detention time during certain periods.
4. Effluent Discharge: Treated effluent after disinfection will be pumped
through a 6-inch PVC force main approximately three miles to a discharge
point in Buffalo Creek. The effluent pumping system will consist of two
300-gpm pumps. One 300-gpm pump should be sufficient to handle both.
average and peak flows, with the second intended to operate as emergency
and standby.

5. Monitoring: An effluent flow meter will be provided for flow monitoring.
Effluent sampling can be accomplished at the effluent pump station.
6. Biosolids Digester: Sludge (biosolids) from the two SBR reactors will be
pumped to a single aerobic digester. The digester will be a glass -fused
steel tank 42 feet in diameter and 12 feet high with a maximum liquid
depth of 9 feet. The digester will contain a 15-HP aerator. The digester
will be operated in two modes, aeration and settling. After allowing the
biosolids to settle, supernatant will be drawn from the digester and
returned to the SBR reactors. Settled biosolids will be routed to one of
four sand drying beds.
7. Biosolids Drying Beds: Digested biosolids from the aerobic digester will
be routed to one of four sand drying beds. Each drying bed will be 40 feet
by 20 feet in size, Filtrate collected in the underdrain system will be
pumped back to the SBR reactors. The dried biosolids will be removed
and disposed of at a local non -hazardous waste landfill.
The SOC requires that Grover Industries must begin construction of the new
wastewater treatment system and discharge pipeline no later than June 1, 1995
and discontinue its wastewater flow to the New Minette system by September
30, 1995. We are ready to proceed with the bidding for the construction
work and will do so as soon as we receive approval of this request.
If you have any questions regarding this package, please do not hesitate to
contact either Don Deemer or Tom Mullins at ERM-Southeast or Mr. John

Enclosed please find a modified Special Order by Consent.
After months of negotiations with the City of Kings Mountain and
other governmental agencies it was determined that there are too
many existing legal and technical barriers to allow Grover
Industries, Inc. to fund the construction of a lift station,
collection system, and upgrades at the Kings Mountain WWTP and
connect the Grover facility to the system. Also, negotiations with
Minette Textiles, which owns and operates the WWTP to which. Grover
Industries presently discharges, have concluded, with a final
decision for Grover to construct a WWTP and disconnect from the
Minette WWTP.
SOC paragraphs 2(b)(3), 2(b)(4), and 2(b)(5) have been
modified; however, the date by which. Grover must cease discharge to
the Minette WWTP and the SOC expiration date have not changed.
This Office recommends that the revised SOC be approved as
proposed. Please advise if additional action or information. is

PART III - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Grover Industries (GI) requests approval to construct WWT
facilities necessary to comply with the effluent limitations
contained in the subject Permit. GI currently is having their
waste treated at the existing Minette Textiles WWTP (N.0004235).
When the two industries wereunable to resolve conflicts
concerning WWTP operation/management, GI elected to remove
themselves from Minette's WWT facility by constructing and
operating their own WWTP. Both GI and Minette are under SOCs,
although GI isthe only facility constructing new WWT facilities.
It should also be noted that GI notified the Division that
the actual point of discharge would be several hundred feet
downstream of the permitted location. Preliminary contacts with
the TSB revealed that the existing effluent limitations probably
would not change as a result of the outfall relocation. GI has
included the outfall construction in this ATC request and,
pending P&E review, it is recommended that the request for the
outfall construction be approved.

Page Three
In reviewing GI's WWTP ATC request, one concern exists that
needs to be resolved prior to ATC issuance. In examining the
sequencing batch reactor (SER) operation cycle, thereis no
allowance for influent wastewater management should one of the
SERE be down for repair. GI's consultant has prepared
documentation that would suggest that under "normal" operating
conditions, equalization is a inherent function/benefit of the
SER system. This would appear to be the case under normal
conditions, however, should one of the SERE be down for repair,
influent flows would have to either enter the inoperatable SER
and receive little if any treatment or back up into the
collection system after the one operating SER has completed its
"fill" cycle and has started its "react" cycle. Such being the
case, the addition of equalization facilities to the proposed
treatment system would allow for unexpected SER "down." time as
well as provide improved operational flexibility (it would also
be a suitable location for pH adjustment equipment should such be.
needed at a later date). The inclusion of equalization adds
minimal cost while providing needed operating flexibility.
Therefore, unless GI's consultant can provide a convincing
argument as to why equalization is unnecessary with regards to
the concerns expressed above, we recommend that GI be required to
incorporate equalization into the design of the proposed WWT
system.
Pending a satisfactory resolution to the above concerns and
a technical review by P E, it is recommended that an ATC be
issued.

The new wastewater treatment system will consist of the following op atinns.
1. Screening: One Hyoor RSA-2524 Rotostrainer with 0.03-inch screen
openings will be used to remove solids from the influent wastewater. The
screened solids will be discharged into 55-gallon drums and disposed of at
a local .non -hazardous waste landfill.
2, SBR System: The SBR system will consist of two identical rears.
Automatic controls will route the incoming flow to one reactor at a time.
The cycle of operation will consist of the following stages: fill, react,
settle, and decant. At the end of the fill stage of one reactor, incoming
flow will automatically be redirected to the second reactor. As the second
reactor is filling, the first reactor will be going through its react, settle, and
decant stages, The process will then repeat itself alternating with each
basin. The 'SBR tanks will be glass -fined steel tanks 48 feet in diameter,
19 feet high with a maximum water level of 16 feet. Each SBR basin will
contain a 7.5 HP mixer, a floating gravity decanter, two 10-tube
retrievable coarse bubble diffusers, and a 2-HP submersible sludge pump.
3. Disinfection: A gas chlorination system and chlorine contact chamber will
be provided to allow for a minimum of 30 minutes detention time at peak
flow. Because ofthe varying flow rates during the decant cycles ofthe
SBRs, the chlorine contact chamber will provide significantly more than
30 minutes detention time during certain periods.
. Effluent Discharge: Treated effluent after disinfection be pumped
through a 6-inch PVC force main approximately three miles to a discharge
point in Buffalo Creek. The effluent pumping system will consist of two
300-gpm pumps. One 300-gpm pump should be sufficient to handle both
average and peak flows, with the second intended to operate as emergency
and standby.

5. Monitoring: An effluent flow meter will be provided for flow monitoring.
Effluent sampling can be accomplished at the effluent pump station.
6. Biosolids Digester: Sludge (biosolids) from the two MR reactors will be
pumped to a single aerobic digester. The digester will be a glass -fused
steel tank 42 feet in diameter and 12 feet high with a maximum liquid
depth of 9 feet. The digester will contain a 15-HP aerator. The digester
will be operat in two modes, aeration and settling. After allowing the
biosolids to settle, supernatant will be drawn from the digester and
returned to the SBR reactors. Settled biosolids will be routed to one of
four sand drying beds.
7. Biosolids Drying Beds: Digested biosolids from the aerobic digester will
be routed to one of four sand drying beds. Each drying bed will be 40 feet
by 20 feet in size. Filtrate collected in the underdrain system will be
pumped back to the SBR reactors. The dried biosolids will be removed
and disposed of at a local non -hazardous waste landfill,
The SOC requires that Grover Industries must begin construction of the new
wastewater treatment system and discharge pipeline no later than June 1, 1995
and discontinue its wastewater flow to the New Minette system by September
30, 1995. We are ready to proceed with the bidding for the construction
work and will do so as soon as we receive approval of this request.
If you have any questions regarding this package, please do not hesitate to
contact either Don Deemer or Tom Mullins at ERM-Southeast or Mr. John

SUBJECT: Special Order by Consent
Grover Industries, Inc.
NPDES No. NC0083984
EMC WQ No. 94-02 Ad
Cleveland County
Enclosed please find a modified Special Order by Consent.
After months of negotiations with the City of Kings Mountain and.
other governmental agencies it was determined that there are too
many existing legal and technical barriers to allow Grover
Industries, Inc. to fund the construction of a lift station,
collection system, and upgrades at the Kings Mountain WWTP and.
connect the Grover facility to the system. Also, negotiations with
Minette Textiles, which owns and operates the WWTP to which Grover
Industries presently discharges, have concluded, with a final
decision for Grover to construct a WWTP and disconnect from the
Minette WWTP.
SOC paragraphs 2(b)(3), 2(b)(4), and 2(b)(5) have been
modified; however, the date by which Grover must cease discharge to
the Minette WWTP and the SOC expiration date have not changed.
This Office recommends that the revised SOC be approved as
proposed. Please advise if additional action or information is
needed.

Test data shall be complete and accurate and include all sup. arting chemical/physical measurements
performed in association with the toxicity tests, as well as all dose/response data. Total residual
chlorine of the effluent toxicity sample must be measured and reported if chlorine is employed for
disinfection of the waste stream..
Should any single quarterly monitoring indicate a failure to meet specified limits, then monthly
monitoring will begin 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
permitmay 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

Grover Ind. previously discharged with New Minnette Mills and is now requesting three discharge
locations for 0.380 MGD of textile wastewater. Location at Lick Branch is not recommended due
to poor biological rating due to toxicity. Kings Mt. discharge is also impacting Buffalo Creek
which has a fair biolo ical rationg. Technical Support has determined limits for dischar e sites in

Name * Grover Industries Permit # NC0083984 Pipe # 001
CHRONIC TOXICITY PASS/FAIL PERMIT LIMIT (QRTRLY)
The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit chronic toxicity using test procedures outlined in:
1.) The North Carolina ceriodaplinia 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 1.8 % (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 effective date of this permit daring the months of
MAR JUN SEP DEC . Effluent sampling for this testing shall be performed at the NPDES permitted final
effluent discharge below all treatment processes.
.A11 toxicity testing results required as part of this permit condition will be entered on the Effluent Discharge
Monitoring Form (MR-1) for the month in which it was performed, using the parameter code TGP3B.
Additionally, DEM Form AT-1 (original) is to be sent to the following address:
Attention: Environmental Sciences Branch
North Carolina Division of
Environmental Management
4401 Reedy Creek Road
Raleigh, N.C. 27607
Test data shall be complete and accurate and include all supporting chemicaVphysical measurements performed in
association with the toxicity tests, as well as all dose/response data. Total residual chlorine of the effluent toxicity
sample must be measured and reported if chlorine is employed for disinfection of the waste stream.
Should any single quarterly monitoring indicate a failure to meet specified limits, then monthly monitoring will
begin 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.
NOIE: 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.

a. Classification: C (for both streams)
b. River Basin and Subbasin No.: Broad 030805
c. Describe receiving stream features and pertinent
downstream uses: Lick Branch: Flow was observed in
stream, however, since this stream currently receives
the effluent from both Grover Industries and Minette
Mills, it was impossible to differentiate actual stream
flow due the existence of the wastewater. Lick Branch
was z2-4 feet wide and 1-4 inches deep at the proposed
point of discharge. There are no other downstream users
known prior to the junction with Buffalo Creek. Buffalo
Creek: This receiving stream had excellent flow with
what appears to be a significant drainage basin.
Although downstream dischargers are unknown, there does
exist at least one water intake (for process water) in
the vicinity of the proposed discharge point(s).
PART II DESCRIPTION OF DISCHARGE AND TREATMENT WORKS
1. a. Volume of Wastewater: 0.300 MGD *
* This figure was listed in the application as the
proposed design capacity, however, based on a
conversation with the applicant during the site visit
(see Part IV) this figure will probably be revised
upward.
b. What is the current permitted capacity: N/A
c. Actual treatment capacity of current facility (current
design capacity): N/A
d. Date(s) and construction activities allowed by previous
ATCs issued in the previous two years: N/A
e. Description of existing or substantially constructed
WWT facilities: N/A
f. Description of proposed WWT facilities: The proposed
WWT facilities are unknown at this time. A preliminary
design will be developed upon promulgation of the WLA.
g. Possible toxic impacts to surface waters: Unknown at
this time. It is anticipated, based on constituents
known to be in the waste stream, that toxicity testing
will be required.
h. Pretreatment Program (POTWs only): Not Needed.
2. Residual handling and utilization/disposal scheme: The
applicant did not submit a residuals disposal plan with the
Permit application. A residuals disposal plan pill be
necessary prior to Permit issuance.
3. Treatment Plant Classification: Less than 5 points; no
rating (include rating sheet). Unknown at this time since a
preliminary design has not been submitted. The proposed
facility should rate out at least a class II.

4. SIC Code(s): 2269
Wastewater Code(s): Primary: 55
Secondary: 21
5. MTU Code(s): Unknown at this time.
PART III - OTHER PERTINENT INFORMATION
1. Is this facility being constructed with Construction Grant
Funds or are any public monies involved (municipals only)?
No
2. Special monitoring or limitations (including toxicity)
requests: No special monitoring requests are being made at
this time, however, it is imperative that the WLA be
completed as quickly as possible.
3. Important SOC/JOC or Compliance Schedule dates: An SOC is
being promulgated for this facility which will contain a
compliance schedule (dates unknown as of the date of this
SR).
4. Alternative Analysis Evaluation
a. Spray Irrigation: Insufficient area available.
b. Connect to regional sewer system: This option appears
to have been evaluated, however, it may be prudent to
have the applicant pursue this option a little more
vigorously. The City of Kings Mountain has indicated
that they would not accept the wastewater, however, we
have seen no official documentation of their denial.
c. Subsurface: N/A
d. Other disposal options: No other disposal options have
been considered nor are any available that we are aware
of.
PART IV - EVALUATION D RECOMMENDATIONS
At the present time, Grover Industries (GI) discharges their
wastewater into a WWT facility owned and operated by Minette
Mills (Nc000423S). As a result of Minette being unable to comply
with their effluent limitations and Minette's desire toiseparate
the two waste streams, Gi has chosen to apply for an NPDES Permit
and create their own discharge. This Office is presently working
with both GI and Minette on the promulgation of an SOC that will
contain compliance dates for both industries. It is imperative
that the promulgation of effluent limitations and a draft Permit
be prepared as soon as possible since Grover is suspected to be a
significant contributor to the pollutant loading at Minette's WWT
facility.

Page Four
GI has chosen three (3) proposed discharge points to be
evaluated by the Division for a proposed discharge. The Lick
Branch outfall is the most convenient for GI, however,
substantially less flow exists in Lick Branch than that found in
Buffalo Creek. Furthermore, Minette Mills currently discharges at
the same point on Lick. Branch as that proposed by GI. Minette is
currently doing a study to determine if their effluent will
continue to exhibit toxic characteristics if they continue to
discharge at Lick Branch. If toxicity is predicted, Minette will
most likely propose an outfall extension to Buffalo Creek. Should
GI also choose this location (due to potential toxic impacts),
there exists a distinct possibility that two separate outfalls. to
the same Buffalo Creek location may be constructed. The two
companies apparently have irreconcilable differences over their
current arrangement and can not seem to come to any type of an
agreement on a "joint" outfall construction proposal. From a
Division perspective, we should not encourage the separate
outfall arrangement, especially since the outfall's construction
is expected to affect wetlands that exist along the proposed
route to Buffalo Creek.
It is also the understanding of this Office that the City of
Kings Mountain has decided not to accept the wastewater from
either Minette Hills or GI without providing any technical basis
for the denial. Due in part to the nature of the wastewater
(industrial), it would appear to be the most viable option for
both industries should the City agree to accept the two
discharges. Kings Mountain does receive a significant amount of
textile wastewater which contributes to lower BOD5 and TSS
loadings (resulting in difficulties in maintaining the 85%
reduction mandated in their NPDES Permit), however, the WWTP
appears to have the necessary hydraulic capacity. This Office
will encourage the City to reevaluate their decision prior to
issuing GI an NPDES Permit.
In their NPDES Permit application, GI indicated that the
WWTP will be designed at 0.300 HGD even though 0.300 s also the
projected waste flow. GI officials (and their consultants) were
told that this would be unacceptable. Mr. Reilly (GI's ,
consultant) indicated that a revised hydraulic flow value would
be submitted as quickly as possible. It is our understanding that
P&E has requested additional effluent data necessary for
promulgation of the WLA. The revised flow value will also be
necessary for WLA preparation.

uld aapear that several aaue'" need to e resoled
prior to the issuance of the NPDES Permit. The par- c t Issue is
whether the City of Kings Mountain can be persuaded to reconsider
their decision to not accept both 'a and Sinete'a discharge,
Furthermore, the Division should consider whether the potential
construction of two utfall to Buffalo Creek is the rn a,t
environmentalenvironmentallY sound approach. lf, however, these issues cannot
e satisfactorily resolved, it is recommended that an NBDBB

Dear Ms.
Edgerton Environmental Services,. Inc. (EESI), on behalf of Grover Industries, Inc:, is
submitting a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit application to
discharge wastewater from a proposed 0.3 milliongallon per day (MGD) wastewater treatment
facility for their textile manufacturing facility in Grover, North Carolina, The treatment plant
will treat and discharge approximately 0.28 MGD of industrial wastewater and 0.02 MGD of
domestic sanitary wastewater: The proposed optional discharges are to Buffalo Creek between
North Carolina State Route 226 and the convergence of Lick Branch and Buffalo Creek, or to
downstream of the dam headwall at the beginning of Lick Branch. Attached are Figure 5 -
Alignments for Gravity Sewer and Figure 6 - Alignments for Force Mains from the April 1993
Preliminary Engineering Report presenting the location of the proposed discharges.
The new permit is necessary to allow Grover industries
current join.t venture partners or Minette Mills which has been and
treatment of Grover's wastewater.
EESI on Grover's behalf requests, as soon as possible, draft
two proposed receiving streams. These draft standards will then be

Directions. —For each parameter listed, complete the
information requested in each column in the units specified
according to the instructions given below.
Column L—Enter the daily average value of the intake.
water it 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 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 and 5.—Supply minimum and maximum value
observed (or expected for new discharge) over any one day
when the discharge is operating,
Column 6. —Specify the average frcqucncy of analysis for
each parameter as number analyses pes number of days (e.g.,
"3/7" is equivalent to three analyses performed every 7
days). If continuous, enter "CONT." When analyses are
conducted on more than one individual grab sample col-
lected during the same day, the analysis frequency should
reflect one analysis whose value is the average of the
individual grab sample measurements. Average frequency
should be based on an operating month.
Column 7.—Specify the number of analyses performed at
the average frequency specified in column 6, up to 365.
Column 8.—Specify sample type as follows:
G For grab sample (individual sample collected in less
than 15 minutes).
40C For composite sample "#" is to be replaced try ;t
average number of hours over which the easel; ..,:
sample was collected. Compete samples are �..
binations of individual samples obtained at hits,., .ea,
over a time period. Either the volume of case. ii -
dividual sample is directly proportional to discli '.".
flow rates or the trampling interval (for constat.t-
volume samples) is inversely proportional t",
flow rates over the tine period used to prisduce

In order for values reported to be representative, it is
recommended that they be based on from at least flee to
seven analyses of composite samples (if applicable). Each or
the c 5niposite samples should be obtained by compositing
frequent samples in proportion to flow over an operating
day. Samples should be taken during period of maximum
production, if possible. If samples are taken at periods of
less than maximum production, state in "'Remarks" the
percent of maximum production that was obtained during
the sampling period.
