My staff has received and reviewed Swift Textiles' 3/19/03 effluent toxicity report. Upon
review of the AT-1 form, it was noted the wrong type of sample was collected for this toxicity test.
As per North Carolina Swift Textile's permit requirement effective 5/1/97, 24-hour composite
samples, instead of grab samples, should be collected for chronic toxicity testing. We have recorded the
3/19/03 analysis as a "pass" as submitted. This letter is to inform you that you should correct this
discrepancy for future tests in order that they will be accepted.
If you have any questions regarding this matter, you are encouraged to call John Giorgino or me
at [phone].
