SUPPLEMENT TO PERMIT COVER SHEET
Performance Fibers, Inc. is hereby authorized to:
1. Continue to discharge process and domestic effluent at a permitted flow not
to exceed 0.244 MGD (outfall 001), from a wastewater treatment facility
consisting of an aeration basin with floating aerators, clarifier, sludge
drying bed, 2 alum settling ponds and polishing pond (for water treatment -
decant to chlorination basin), chlorination/chlorine contact basin, and
effluent flow measurement, and
2. Continue to discharge stormwater, condensate, and firepond overflow
(outfall 002) from facilities located at the Performance Fibers, Inc. Facility,
off Pea Ridge Road east of Moncure in Chatham County, and,
3. Discharge wastewater from said treatment works via outfall 001 at the
location specified on the attached map into the Haw River and via outfall

A. (1) EFFLUENT LIMITATIONS AND MONITORING REQUIREMENTS (0O1)
During the period beginning on the effective date of the permit and lasting until expiration, the
Permittee is authorized to discharge 0.244 MGD of industrial and domestic wastewater from
outfall 001. Such discharges shall be limited and monitored by the Permittee as specified below:
.244 MGD
BOD, 5 day (20°C) 10.4 pounds/day 16.7 pounds/day
Total Suspended SoNds 5.0potsidsiday 13.6 pounds/day

Footnotes:
1. Upstream: valve at Permittee's river water pump house. Downstream: nearest accessible point at
least 100 yards below the outfall and above the confluence of the Deep and Haw Rivers.
Instream monitoring is provisionally waived due to the permittee's participation in the
Lower Cape Fear River Basin Association. Instream monitoring shall be conducted as stated
in this permit should the permittee end its participation in the Association.
2. Chronic Toxicity (Ceriodaphnia) Chronic P/F at 0.94%: January, April, July, and October [see
Condition A. (3)].
3. Refer to Conditions A. (7) and A. (8) regarding OCPSF monitoring. Where anycompound detected, quarterly monitoring is required for that compound Pound is
consecutive samples. Honeywellmay until not detected in twelve
P use EPA test method 524.2 to monitor OCPSF parameters
(provided the method allows a detection level at or below the permitted limit).
4. The pH shall be monitored continuously at the effluent. In accordance with 40 CFR 401.17, the
total time during which the pH values are allowed to be less than 6.0 standard units or greater
than 9.0 standard units shall not exceed 7 hours and 26 minutes in any calendar month, and no
individual excursion outside the 6 to 9 range shall exceed 60 minutes.

A. (2.) EFFLUENT LIMITATIONS AND MONITORING REQUIREMENTS (002)
During the period beginning on the effective date of the permit and lasting until expiration, the

Footnotes:

The temperature of the effluent shall be such as not to cause an increase in the temperature of
the receiving stream of more than 2 8°C and in no casP cause the ambient water temperature to
exceed 32°C.
2. Chlorine monitoring is required only if chlorine is added in the wastewater contributors stated
above.
3. Acute Toxicity (Fathead lifcnnow) Annual Monitoring [see Condition A. (4)].
4. The pH shall not be less than 6.0 standard units nor greater than 9.0 standard units.
There shall be no discharge of floating solids or visible foam in other than trace amounts.
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 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 February 1998, or
subsequent versions or "North Carolina Phase II Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure'
(Revised -February 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, 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 II Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test
Procedure" (Revised -February 1998) or subsequent versions.
