This is to inform you that. a review of your toxicity self -monitoring report to for the month of
July 2004 indicates a violation of the toxicity limitation specified in your NPDES Permit.
You should take whatever remedial actions are necessary to eliminate the conditions causing the
effluent toxicity violation(s). Your efforts may include conducting a Toxicity Reduction Evacuation
(TRE) which is a site -specific study designed to identify the causative agents of effluent toxicity, isolate
the sources of toxicity, evaluate the effectiveness of toxicity control options, and then confirrn reductions
in effluent toxicity. Please be aware that North. Carolina General Statutes provide for assessment of civil
penalties for violations of NPDES permit limitations and requirements.
The reverse side of this Notice contains important information concerning your Whole Effluent
Toxicity Monitoring and Reporting Requirements. Please note updated mailing addresses for submitting

Findings from Head Works Analysb Wastewater Treatmen
Town of Oakboro
Former Dixie Yarns Facility — Stanfield, North Carolina
Apex Project No. 510081.004
•VrY
Apex Environmental, Inc,. (Apex) is pleased to submit our findings on the recently requested head works
analysis oldie Town of Oakhoro Wastewater °Treatment Facility (WWIF). ,Jointly„ both towns have requested
that "file Dixie Group evaluate the potential impacts to. the WWTF, if any, of the planned disposal of
chlorinated solvent groundwater to the sanitary sewer system,. The following paragraphs describe the approach
used by Apex, our findings of the analysis and our conclusions OR the impacts of the groundwater at: the
WWTF,
APPROACH
To evaluate if any impacts Would likely occur at the 'WWTF due to the groundwater, Apex approached the
analysis from multiple parallel paths. The first involved the collection of engineering data regardirvi the lu-
pine components at the WWTF and current operational scenario being used by the operators to inaintain a
compliant discharge. The second involved the collection of inlet raw SC Wage chemical data to determine the
current. level of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), Lastly, Apex used the collected information and
engineering judgment and calculations to determine if any impact would be seen at the WWTF.
Engineering, data was collected While ,Apex \\,as on -site at the WWTF and \ve wish to thank Mr, Erie Culee„
the WWIF licensed operator, for his time and assistance with this effort, The engineering information was
typically collected from the construction drawings and specifications from the latest expansion of the WWII'.
Operational information was collected by interviewing Mr. Curlce and observing WwrF operations.
Sampling of the raw sewage inlet wastewater was performed by Apex personnel with Mr. Coulters assistance,
The collected sample was then analyzed in accordance with state and federal requirements and guidelines.

Page 2 9f',7
To establish a basis. for analysis if any impacts would likely occur at the VWTF, Apex reviewed historical data
from the Stanfield facility and established. the following:
• Peak groundwater flow rate of 24,000 gallons per day (GPD);
• Total major constituents of concern concentration of 27,5 milligrams per liter
or parts per million (PPM).
FINDINGS
Engineering Evaluation
The engineering evaluation of the WWTF indicated the following regarding the in -place components'
• The WWTF uses the extended -aeration activated -sludge treatment process to treat the
influent wastewater,
• The two duplicate aeration basins have a total capacity of 1,200,000 gallons and one
basin is in-service.
• .Aeration for each basin is provided three 15 Horsepower floating aerators..
• Treated wastewater gravity drains to up to three clarifiers of which only .the 500,000
gallon capacity unit is in-service.
• Settled sludge from the clarifier (trains to the sludge return basin where it is either
returned to the basin or processed for off -site disposal.
• Clarified wastewater is further treated using chlorine injection for disinfection which
is then followed by the injection of sulfur dioxide gas tbr removal of excess chlorine
prior to discharge to the Rocky River,
The evaluation also indicated the vwi
regarding the availabilitv of process equipment a

industrial ,.,KLA.V.::,"
• Spares for the at:I-at:ion equipment at the WWII appear to be g.eneraIly available
• The in -use clarifier is the most recent unit and appears to be providing high -quality
effluent,
• The out -of -service clarifiers appear to require some improvements and rep. is if they
are needed to be returned to service.
Review of the 2005 discharge monitoring reports have indicated an average daily dry -weather flow rate of
307,000 GPD and that the ww-a. has maintained a compliant discharge for the entire ym: 'Therefore, the
availability issues described above have not had an adverse impact on the performance of the WA,VEF.
Obviously flour the compliance status of the WWTF discharge, the operations of the -W \NIT are proceeding
corrmtly,
Sampling. Results
Apex collected a sample of .the influent raw wastewater from the inlet screening complex in the -lawn of
Oak.boro on March 8, 2006. Since the laboratory analysis requested included volatile organic compounds, a
single grab sample was collected. The sample was placed into laboratory provided glassware and delivered to
Pace. Analytical in Huntersville, North Carolina fbr analysis using EPA Methods 601 and 602..
Results from the sample indicated that the influent raw wastewater contains constituents typically associated
with gasoline or diesel fuel in trace levels (parts per billion). Also, the testing indicated the presence of
chloroform which is typically associated with an industrial discharge. Lastly, the testing indicated the presence

of tetrachloroethene, or dry eleanixig solvent, which may be from either a laundry or industrial operation, None
of the constituents were detected at levels at which Apex would recommend further sampling and evaluation..

Impact Model
To detennine if any impacts can be expected at the WWII' due to the requested discharge, Apex performeda.
series of calculations. These calculations included:
• Average dry weather flow rate to the WWTF for 2005;
• Influent concentrations of the .major constituents of concern from the requested
discharge at a flow rate of 24,000 CiPD;
• Estimated concentrations of the major constituents of concern after the aeration
process at the WWTF; and
• Estimated concentrations of the major constituents of concern in the \WTI; effluent.
To perform these calculations, Apex made several assumptions regarding the removal of the constituents.
These are:
• Residence time from the discharge point to the WW1T inlet is 72, hours:
• Biodegradation of the major constituents. of concern occurs in the sewer system
between the site and WWTF per standard published rates of reaction;
• Reinoval of the major constituents of concern in the aeration basinoccurs by both
biodegradation and stripping of the components into the air;
• The stripping can be modeled using "standard" air stripping methods at an appropriate
air: water ratio;lind
• Biodegradation occurs within the aeration basin under aerobic conditions at rate.s
corresponding to established. standards;
• Biodegradation occurs within the clarifier under aerobic conditions at rates
corresponding to, established standards.
The static groundwater concentration data from the latest sampling event (March 2006) was used to determine
the likely maxiinum groundwater discharge concentrations to the WWTF. This data and specific data on strip
ability and biodegradation were added a spreadsheet program to determine the various values. The printout of
the spreadsheet program is included with this letter as an attachment.
Results of the model indicate the following:
• The daily average dry weather flow rate at the WWII' for 2005 was 30700 GPI)
• The combined total wastewater inlet concentration of major constituents of concern
will be approximately 2.2 PPM.
• The time spent in the sewer system between the discharge point and the WWII'
results in a reduction of the major constituents of concern from approximately 22 to 2
PPM.
• The basin aerators produce 45 pounds of oxygen per hour per aerator, or 643 pounds
of air per hour total.
• The air: water volumetric ratio in the aeration -basin is 5: L
• The hydraulic residence time in the aeration basin is 1,95 days.
• The total concentration of the major constituents of concern is reduced from an inlet
concentration of approximately 2 to less than 0,05 PPM due to the air stripping taking
place in the basin.

• Aerobic bio14cal degradation occurring in the basin further reduces the total
concentration of the major constituents from less than 0.05 to approximately 0.04
PPM prior to the compounds being sent to the clarifier.
• 'The hydraulic residence time in the ehuifier in-service is I .29 days.
• Biodegradation of the major constituents of concern occurring 10 the clarifier will
reduce the total concentration from approximately 0.04 to 0.04 PPM which will be the
modeled effluent total concentration,
• The remaining concentrations of the indis,idual major constituents of concern in the
wastewater are typically about 0.1-pereent of published aquatic toxicity
concentrations researched by Apex,
From the results of the evaltqafion, Apex is concluding that no foreseeable negative impacts an be forecasted

I spoke with Don Huffman today who is the Director of Engineering for the Dixie
Group, Inc.
He stated that they have recently finalized their agreement with the Town of
Stanfield to dischargewater from their groundwater remediation systemto the Town's
sanitary sewer system.
Theyanticipate construction to enable this switch to be completed by the end of the
year. They will be drafting a letter to rescind permit NC0083763 early next year.
Finally he stated they would be contacting the Aquifer Protection, section to discuss
operation of the groundwater wells.
He can be reached at 423-622-5570 (Office) and 423-280-3754 (Cell)

JUN 2 20O
As per our phone conversations, the remediation system in Stanfield on the site of
Textron, Inc, was shut down in September 2004. The system was shut down because
there were no further reductions in contaminates since 2001. We requested our consultant
to investigate the data and discuss with the NCDENR the feasibility of going to monitor
only for the site„ During this time, the quarterly reports for toxicity and effluent
monitoring were filed with "no -flow" on the forms. Also, the permit renewal was being
done during this time and it has been put on hold pending the investigation of site data for
monitoring only.
During this time the system was shut down, the contaminate levels began to rise as the
water table moved up. We are now working with the Town of Stanfield and Oakboro to
discharge the treated water from the stripping tower to the public sewer system, It was
estimated that this would be worked out in May 2006, but this has not been accomplished
at this time, Hopefully, the final solution will occur by late July and the NPDES Permit
can be cancelled provided we can discharge to the local sewer system.
ff we are not able to discharge to the local sewer system and need to put the pump and
treat system into operation, we will go forward with the permit renewal as soon as
possible. Please call me at 423-622-5570 if there are questions.

The permit holder shall perform at a minimum, lacyrterly monitoring using test procedures outlined in the "North
Carolina Ceriodaphrtia Chronic Effluent Bioassay Procedure," Revised February 1998, or subsequent versions or
"North Carohna Phase II Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure" (RevisedFebruary 1998) or subsequent
versions. The tests will be performed during the months of January, April, July, and October. 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,
Men multiple -concentration testing shall be performed at a minimum, in each of the two following months as described
in "North Carolina Phase!! Chronic. Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure" (Revised -February 1998) or subsequent
versions.
The chronic value for multiple concentrationcollcentration 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 or the pass/fail results
and THP3B for the Chronic Value. Additionally, DWQ Form AT-3 (original) is to be sent to the following address:

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 supervisorand ORC or approved designate signature. Total
residual chlorine of the effluent toxicity sample must be measured and reported if chlorine is employed for disinfection
of the waste stream.
Should there be no discharge of flow from the facility during a month in which toxicity monitoring is required, the
permittee will 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 perinttlec fail to monitor during a month in which toxicity rnonitonrig 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 he 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..

Re: January 2004 Chronic Toxicity Report
Stanfield Facility
Stanly County
NPDES No. NC 0083763
`ff}:.2 4k iO4
There is no Chronic toxicity report for the month of January 2004. The system
was shut down due to mechanical equipment failure. No discharge has been made sisnce
November 2003. The November test, which failed was certainly affected by this failure.
The replacement purnp has been ordered and should be received this month. The system
will be put back in operation. This problem has been discussed with Kevin Bowden in
your department.
There was no toxicity report for December 2003 and there will be no toxicity
report for January 2004 due to no -flow condition. The system should be in back in
operation for the April 2004 test. Should there be any questions, please call me at 423-
493-7286 You help is appreciated.
