Smithfield Foods — The Chief Mill
NPDES # NCG500621
Duplin County
Smithfield Foods — The Chief Mill has requested approval of chemicals, ChemTreat 4350 &
ChemTreat BL1253. These products will be discharged from Outfall 002 and into Rockfish
Creek.
Calculations predict the use of this product, at the stated dosage rate, will not cause toxic impacts
to aquatic life in the receiving stream, Rockfish Creek. Therefore, the use of this product as an
additive to the cooling tower blowdown, non -contact cooling water, and occasional draining
from other operational systems at Smithfield Foods — The Chief Mill is acceptable.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Zach Thomas at [phone] or
[e-mail].
Sincerely,
indy Moore; Supervisor
