When the required EPA analytical method with the appropriate minimum detection level is followed and
a result of "non -detectable" or "below quantitation limit" is obtained, the permittee will be considered to
be in compliance with the numerical permit limit for that pollutant.
Footnote:
1. Where any compound is detected, quarterly monitoring is required for that compound until not
detected in twelve consecutive samples. The permittee may use EPA test method 524.2 to monitor
OCPSF parameters (provided the method allows a detection level at or below the permitted limit).
A. (3) CHRONIC TOXICITY PERMIT LIMIT (Quarterly) - 001
[15A NCAC 02B.0200 et seq.]
The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit observable inhibition of reproduction or significant
mortality to Ceriodaphnia dubia at an effluent concentration of 0.94 %.
The permit holder shall perform at a minimum, quarterly monitoring using test procedures outlined in
the "North Carolina Ceriodaphnia Chronic Effluent Bioassay Procedure," Revised December 2010, or
subsequent versions or "North Carolina Phase II Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure"
(Revised- December 2010) or subsequent versions. The tests will be performed during the months of
January, April, July, and October. These months signify the first month of each three-month
toxicity testing quarter assigned to the facility. Effluent sampling for this testing must be obtained
during representative effluent discharge and shall be performed at the NPDES permitted final effluent
discharge below all treatment processes.
Page5of8

Permit NC0001899
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 -December 2010) 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 the pass/fail results and THP3B for the Chronic Value. Additionally, DWR Form AT-
3 (original) is to be sent to the following address:
Attention: North Carolina Division of Water Resources
Water Sciences Section/Aquatic Toxicology Branch
1623 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, NC 27699-1623
Completed Aquatic Toxicity Test Forms shall be filed with the Water Sciences Section 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 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
Water Sciences Section 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. Assessment of toxicity compliance is based on the toxicity
testing quarter, which is the three month time interval that begins on the first day of the month in which
toxicity testing is required by this permit and continues until the final day of the third month.
Should any test data from this monitoring requirement or tests performed by the North Carolina Division
of Water Resources 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.

NPDES/Performance Fibers - Renewal
120323-Performance Fibers NPDES permit.pdf
Good Morning All,
We are back to trying to make some progress with this project. Our Client has gone through the process of transferring
the property and now we are in somewhat of an urgent need to transfer the existing NPDES permit (attached) to the
new Owners. We are going through the motions today of getting both parties to sign the Name/Ownership change
form. We expect to have that original in our hands on Friday of this week and will submit it at that time.
Of greater concern is the requirement in the NPDES permit to apply for renewal 180 days before expiration. The current
permit expires July 31, 2016, which places a requirement to have the application submitted by February 2"d (end of day),
unless permission for a later date has been granted by the Director. With this email, I am stating our clients intend to
apply for renewal/extension of the existing permit and requesting an extension for renewal submission.
Please let us know if other documentation is
for submittal by the end of February 2016.

Subject: NPDES/Performance Fibers
Jeff- just a short recap of the permitting discussion from our meeting on 7/14/2015:
Performance Fibers WWTP (NC0001899)
• The current permitted flow of 0.244 MGD will meet future needs. No expansion needed.
• There is potential for two new wastestreams. A Major Permit Modification would be required since there would
be significant change in wastewater characteristics. The fee for a Major Mod is $1030. A letter request for

Major Permit Mod will suffice, with explanation of anticipated wastestreams/effluent characteristics. No
Engineering Alternatives is needed since this is not a new/expanding facility. The Major Permit Mod will need to
be noticed in a local newspaper for 30 days.
• Note: NPDES did receive a Name Change request for this permit dated 6/8/2015, to change Permittee name
from Performance Fibers to DuraFiber Technologies. Will DuraFibers remain the Permittee of record and
responsible for compliance in the future?
New Industrial WWTP
• There was also discussion of a new industrial WWTP potentially discharging into an existing Western Wake
Partners effluent line. I did not locate any info in our permit files regarding agreements between Western Wake
Partners and Chatham County. We will need further discussion for this scenario.
Feel free to contact me with additional questions.

Subject: RE: BFs application w/WWTP - New Hill, Chatham Co
Sharon,
Our NPDES wastewater permitting program has been in contact with new/proposed landowners of the Performance
Fibers facility. Specifically, we have discussed how redevelopment of the site could impact the current NPDES discharge
permit, and what alternatives they have for managing wastewater generated at the facility or neighboring facilities
interested in tying on. It is unclear how a Brownfield agreement may impact the permits in place, so I have CC'd with
this email to the following:
Bradley Bennet—Stormwater Permitting program supervisor (NCS000100)
Tom Belnick — NPDES wastewater permitting supervisor (NC000189)
Nathaniel Thornburg — Non Discharge permitting supervisor (WQ0023197)
Danny Smith — Raleigh Regional Office Supervisor.
They may have questions concerning any cleanup activities that are occurring as part of the Brownfield agreement or
other requirements that may impact the permit under their authority.
Thanks for the heads -up.

Subject: BFs application w/WWTP - New Hill, Chatham Co
Hi Jon — I am contacting you about a BFs application we have recently received for the former AlliedSignal/Performance
Fibers plat in New Hill, Chatham Co. The Performance Fibers plant has been idle for about a year or so, and we have a
Prospective Developer that wishes to purchase the plant, decommission and remove the buildings. The reuse will be
commercial/industrial and for that reason they wish to retain the waste water treatment system (or a portion thereof)
for future use.
The pertinent ID numbers are:
NCDWQ— WQ0023197
NPDES Stormwater— NCS000100
NPDES WWTP — NC000189

What would be the procedures/concerns from Water Resources for the PD to undertake this? Who would be the best
person(s) for me to speak with at DWR about this site and this potential for reuse?
Thanks,

Hope this email finds you well. We had met with you on April 23, 2015 to discuss the potential for utilizing this existing
WWTF (associated with the shuttered Performance Fibers Industrial Plant) to treat wastewater for another use. At that
time we were just wading into what the potential use might be and are now much further along in that regard. At this
time we need some guidance on two issues and would like to discuss in a face to face meeting with you and potentially

We have cleared our schedule to the extent we can next week to allow the following availability. If neither of these
times is convenient for you, please respond with your availability. We anticipate trying to hold this meeting to one hour

to understand the treatment capabilities with respect to the anticipated influent, and are now in need of per r for

Michael- just wanted to get back to you following EAA discussion on Monday. I'd recommend conducting the evaluation
for the entire flow to be requested (0.3 MGD) rather than the incremental increase above 0.244 MGD, since this is not a
true expansion of the OCPSF operation. You'll need to justify the flow based on anticipated future activities at the
site. If you are still evaluating the,possibility of coal ash leachate, I'll remind you that the receiving waterbody is a
classified water supply (WS-IV). Let me know if any questions.

Mr Roberts:
As a quick followup to the meeting held on 4/23/2015 on the Performance Fibers/Moncure NPDES Permit NC0001899,
I've attached the following:
1. Engineering Alternatives Analysis (EAA) Guidance- an EAA would need to be prepared for any increase in
permitted flow. The current permitted flow for NC0001899 is 0.244 MGD. The EAA will need to justify flow and
evaluate alternatives to direct discharge. The cost for the direct discharge alternative should include upgrades
as needed to comply with BOD= 5mg/I, TP= 1.0 lb/day, and TN = 4.48 lb/day at 0.3 MGD.
2. Name/Ownership Change Form- if ownership is changing
3. Major Permit Modification Request for Expanded Flow to 0.3 MGD. There is no form for a major modification
request, just a letter request + major modification fee of $1,030. You will need to include the EAA report with
this request.
Hope this helps. Let me know if any questions.

T.imtit Development
Process and non -process wasteflows have been historically difficult to characterize at this facility. In 1995 a
monitoring study was conducted to characterize wastewater sources and their contribution to the total BOD
loading. Based on that study it was determined that non -process flows contribute a significant BOD load (unlike
typical OCPSF facilities) and that an additional allowance should be granted. The. existing BOD and TSS limits are
therefore based on effluent guidelines for OCPSF process wastewater (40 CFR 414.30), non -process wastewater and
sanitary wastes. No change to these calculated limits is recommended for his renewal.
III.. Compliance Summary
DMR Data Review
Monthly average flows are at 33% capacity with maximum monthly average flows at 45% capacity. This is a slight
decrease from the previous renewal. All limited parameters are well within permit requirements. The facility does
currently chlorinate and past permits did include a fecal coliform limit. That limit was removed in the previous
permit on the basis that the dilution ratio for the 0.01 MGD sanitary flow is approximately 2500:1 based on a 40 cfs
7Q10 flow in the Haw River. Current policy requires a fecal coliform limit for facilities with a dilution ratio of less
than 331:1 (unless the discharge is to a class B or a coliform impaired waterbody). Performance Fibers chlorinates
the entire wasteflow (process, non -process, and sanitary) in order to comply with the fecal coliform limit, and has
indicated that they would have no reason to add chlorine to the wastestream if there were no fecal coliform
requirement. Therefore both fecal coliform and chlorine monitoring will be removed from the draft permit.

Instream Data Review
The permit requires temperature, conductivity, and DO monitoring instream, however these requirements are
waived while the facility is a member of the Lower Cape Fear River Basin Association. Currently there is a
downstream coalition monitoring station, but no upstream station to provide comparative data. Therefore instream
data was not reviewed for this renewal. However the 2005 Cape Fear Basin Plan lists this segment of Haw River as
supporting for its aquatic life and recreational uses.
RPA Analysis
The facility does not currently have monitoring for toxicants (other than OCPSF requirements) at outfall 001.
Although several metals were present in the pollutant scan submitted as part of the permit application, none existed
in concentrations that could be expected to cause an exceedance of water quality standards. Also, no parameters
were detected as part of the yearly OCPSF scans.
The facility currently has annual monitoring for zinc and fluoride at outfall 002. Based on the low levels of these
pollutants present in the discharge and the high dilution instream, an RPA was not conducted for these parameters.
Table 2 summarizes fluoride and zinc data. Since there are so few data points, values from the previous renewal
were reviewed as well, but are not included in the table. Based on the data, fluoride and zinc monitoring will be
removed from the permit.

Tom- some info on your inquiry about Performance Fibers WWTP (NC0001899) in Chatham County. This facility
discharges to Haw River below Jordan Lake dam and above Buckhorn dam, thus it is NOT subject to Jordan Lake Rules.
However, the area between the dams has experienced algal blooms in the past and was listed as impaired for chl-a in
2006/2008. This prompted the following statement in the Cover letter to the NPDES permit renewal back in 2007:
> Please note that the Division has added the Cape Fear River (from the confluence of the Haw and Deep Rivers to
Sanford) to the 2006 303(d) list due to chlorophyll a exceedances. The Modeling Unit expects to initiate stream
studies in 2010 and modeling in 2012 to determine limits for nutrient and oxygen -demanding wastes in these
waters. It is possible that the Division will expect dischargers to conduct supplementary TN and TP monitoring
to support stream studies and modeling beginning around January 2009. Due to the fact that these efforts are
underway, EPA recommended that Performance Fibers not be allowed to increase its historical nutrient loading
until the Division completes a TMDL. However, rather than add a nutrient limit (narrative or numerical) at this
time, the Division agreed to limit future expansions at this facility to current nutrient loads until the TMDL is
completed.
The 2005 Basin Plan also recommended no additional TN/TP loading to this segment. The TMDL schedule has slipped,
but this segment is now captured in the Central portion of Cape Fear River identified as Priority #3 in the NC NCDP with
a schedule for nutrient criteria development concluding in 2021.
A cursory review of the current NPDES permit indicates TN/TP monitoring only. Discharge in 2014 averages about
50,000 gal/day, TP conc. is generally low (< 1 mg/1 TP), but there is some TN contribution (4-8 mg/1 TN).
Let me know if any questions. Planning (Nora, Kathy) would likely have more up-to-date info on instream conditions and
303(d) updates. Segment was not listed as impaired for chl-a in 2010/2012, but this might be due to lack of sufficient
sampling.

Parts Ili -IV are standard boiler plate narratives provide as additional narratives required on all issued NPDES permit. Per
Section C introductory paragraph this whole section is in reference to 40 CFR 122.42 which is a federal standard. This is
a "notification level", it is up to the regulatory authority once reported, in this case North Carolina DENR/DWQ, how this
is addressed.

Ron,
Thanks for the information. Would you please provide some rationale about Part III, Section C, part b (2) in the permit?
The facility's thought of discharge the contained spill cooling water in the stormwater pond seems based on that.

Joe,
I reviewed the NPDES permit and have the following observations and recommendations.
A NPDES discharge cannot violate the Water Supply (receiving stream classification) water quality standard for
Antimony of 5.6 µg/L (applied as a daily limit) or result in the violation of any limits assigned to the permitted outfall or
any other water quality standards. Outfall 002 which discharges to Shaddock Creek has no instream dilution available.
The DMR daily historical flow prior to January 2011 from Outfall 002 ranged from 0.01MG to 0.44 MG. The existing
effluent background Antimony concentration is unknown. Outfall 001 which discharges to the Haw River has an IWC of
0.94% (significant amount of stream dilution) and a permitted flow limit of 0.244 MGD. The DMR daily historical flow
prior to January 2011 ranged from 0.01 MG to 0.31 MG. The existing effluent background Antimony concentration is
unknown. Both outfalls are to receiving streams classified as WS-IV. Any proposed NPDES discharges, new or amended,
must be reviewed and approved by the Regional Public Water Supply (PWSS) Engineer.
To comply with water quality standards at the NPDES permitted discharge point, the Permittee should develop a plan
and submit to the Raleigh Regional Office (RRO) either:
1) Pump and haul scenario to an approved off site treatment/disposal facility (no impact to permitted NPDES
discharge),
2) Design and propose a new treatment process on site to reduce the Antimony to meet water quality standards,
3) Determine and propose an alternative operation of existing treatment and NPDES outfalls to meet water quality
standards.
In case 2) and 3) above the permitted Outfall which receives the Antimony influent should be assigned an Antimony
monitoring protocol during the duration of the Antimony influent discharge to validate the Antimony water quality
standard or any other suspect water quality standards are not exceeded, and as a control point for the particular
treatment being employed. Again, prior to final approval for case 2) or 3) above the Regional PWSS Engineer approval is
required.
The Permittee should provide a statement that Antimony is the pollutant of concern, a list of analysis for all pollutant
investigated, and a statement the Permittee believes no other pollutants are present.

Gentlemen,
I wanted to follow-up on the information sent to your office last week and make sure we are all comfortable with any
actions as we move forward.
We received our sample results last week (as you were updated on daily) on both ethylene glycol and antimony (Sb)
from the spill pond itself and the 002 outfall to Shaddox Creek, that the pond may release flow to. Both samples at the
outfall 002 were non -detectable, which confirms we did not release any material offsite. In the spill pond itself, our
sample analyzed for ethylene glycol was at non -detection levels. The sample analyzed for Sb showed a level of 907
micrograms/liter (0.91miligrams/liter). Our stormwater permit (NCS000100) does have a benchmark level of 0.09 mg/L
for Antimony at our four permitted outfalls (1-4), so that benchmark was exceeded. But 002 outfall is technically a part
of the NPDES Wastewater permit (NC0001899) and according to Part III, Section C, part b (2) we are required to notify if
a discharge of 1 mg/I of Sb occurs. So we would be under that 1mg/L level.
Based on these numbers, I don't feel it would be an issue to discharge from this pond going forward. I would like your
opinion on this before we discharge to the creek. If more samples at the outfall and the pond would set your mind at
ease, I am ok with that as well. Let John know your thoughts or if you like, contact me. Thanks for working with us on
this issue.
