Dear Mr. McHargue:
Subject Issuance of NPDES Permit
Permit NC0020664
Spindale WWTP
Rutherford County
Facility Class IV
Division personnel have reviewed and approved your application for a renewal of the subject
permit. Accordingly, we are forwarding the attached NPDES discharge permit. This permit is issued
pursuant to the requirements of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and the Memorandum of
Agreement between North Carolina and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency dated October 15,
2007 (or as subsequently amended).
The following changes have been incorporated into this renewal:
• Limit for Selenium was added to the permit based on the results of the Reasonable Potential Analysis
and monitoring frequency has been reduced to Monthly (Flow Tier for 6.0 MGD).
• A Mercury Minimization Plan Special Condition was added to the permit (Please see A. (6.) The
Special Condition was added to implement a Statewide Mercury TMDL, which requires a Mercury
Minimization Plan for Major POTWs if mercury is detected at levels above 1 ng/L.
• Based on the Permitting Guidelines for Statewide Mercury TMDL, the limit and monitoring for Total
Mercury was be removed from the permit. The facility will continue mercury monitoring through PPA.
• Monitoring for Sulfates has been removed from the permit based on the review of the effluent data (all
Flow Tiers).
• Monitoring for Chlorides, Copper, Silver, and Zinc has been reduced to Quarterly based on the results
of the Reasonable Potential Analysis (all Flow Tiers).

• Monitoring for Cyanide has been removed from the permit based on the results of the Reasonable
Potential Analysis (all Flow Tiers).
• Monitoring and limits for Nickel have been removed from the permit based on the results of the
Reasonable Potential Analysis (all Flow Tiers).
• Monitoring for Selenium has been reduced to Quarterly based on the results of the Reasonable Potential
Analysis (Flow Tiers for 3.0 MGD and 4.5 MGD).
The Division is unable to grant your request to remove the Mercury Minimization Plan Special
Condition from the permit. This Special Condition was added to implement a Statewide Mercury
TMDL, which requires a Mercury Minimization Plan for Major POTWs if mercury is detected at levels
above 1 ng/L. The Statewide Mercury TMDL and implementation plan have been approved by EPA.
The Division appreciates your comments regarding the Standard Conditions and understands
your concerns. However, the Division is unable to make any changes to the Standard Conditions. The text
of this document is based on the requirements of the Clean Water Act and has been approved by EPA. The
requirements in Standard Conditions are applicable to all municipal facilities.
If any parts, measurement frequencies or sampling requirements contained in this permit are
unacceptable to you, you have the right to an adjudicatory hearing upon written request within thirty (30)
days following receipt of this letter. This request must be in the form of a written petition, conforming
to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes, and filed with the Office of Administrative
Hearings (6714 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-6714). Unless such demand is made,
this decision shall be final and binding.
Please note that this permit is not transferable except after notice to the Division. The Division
may require modification or revocation and reissuance of the permit. This permit does not affect the legal
requirements to obtain other permits which may be required by the Division of Water Resources or permits
required by the Division of Land Resources, the Coastal Area Management Act or any other Federal or
Local governmental permit that may be required. If you have any questions concerning this permit, please

A. (4) QUARTERLY CHRONIC TOXICITY PERMIT LIMIT (3.0/4.5/6.0 MGD)
The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit observable inhibition of reproduction or significant mortality to
Ceriodaphnia dubia at an effluent concentration of 19%/26%/32%.
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 March, June, September, and
December. 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.
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. If reporting pass/fail results using the
parameter code TGP3B, DWR Form AT-1 (original) is sent to the below address. If reporting Chronic Value
results using the parameter code THP3B, DWR Form AT-3 (original) is to be sent to the following address:
Attention: North Carolina Division of Water Resources
Environmental Sciences Section
1621 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1621
Completed Aquatic Toxicity Test Forms shall be filed with the Environmental 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 Environmental 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.
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.
If the Permittee monitors any pollutant more frequently then required by this permit, the results of such
monitoring shall be included in the calculation & reporting of the data submitted on the DMR & all AT Forms
submitted.
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.

BACKGROUND
The Spindale WWTP is a Class IV facility with an ultimate permitted flow of 6.0 MGD. The plant serves
domestic users in the Town of Spindale and three Industrial Users.
The Town of Spindale has a full pretreatment program with the Division of Water Quality's Pretreatment
Unit and will continue to implement this program in the new permit term.
INSTREAM MONITORING
This facility discharges to Catheys Creek in subbasin 03-08-02 of the Broad River Basin. Instream data
(upstream and downstream of the discharge, as specified in the permit) for the last three years were
reviewed. Spindale is required to monitor instream conductivity, fecal coliform, temperature and
dissolved oxygen (D.O.). Of these parameters, downstream conductivity is the most significantly
elevated above upstream levels. This may be partly attributable to the large industrial contribution to this
discharge. Fecal coliform levels downstream are also slightly higher than the upstream values. D.O. and
temperature show little difference between the upstream and downstream values. D.O. was always above
5.0 mg/L, the stream standard.
REASONABLE POTENTIAL ANALYSIS
Reasonable potential analysis (RPA) was conducted for: Chlorides, Copper, Cyanide, Mercury, Nickel,
Selenium, Silver, and Zinc (see attached). The RPA indicated that there is no reasonable potential for
Chlorides, Cyanide, Mercury, Nickel, and Selenium at the Flow Tier for 3.0 MGD.
Copper, Silver, and Zinc demonstrated a Reasonable Potential to violate the state water quality standard.
The limits for these parameters were not added to the permit because these are the action level standards
as defined in 15A NCAC 02B .0211(4).

TOXICITY TESTING:
Type of Toxicity Test: Chronic P/F
Existing Limit: 001: Chronic P/F @ 19/26/32%
Recommended Limit: 001: Chronic P/F @ 19/26/32%
Monitoring Schedule: March, June, September, December
The facility has been consistently passing its WET during the last permit term.
COMPLIANCE SUMMARY:
The facility has experienced a numerous compliance issues during the previous permit term, the full list is
attached. The vast majority of the violations are the TRC limit excursions, there are also some Fecal
Coliforms and TSS limit violations. The facility is on the EPA watch list as a result of these violations.
The Asheville Regional office is working with the facility to address compliance issues. It appears that
Fecal Coliforms and TSS issues have been resolved, the only violations in 2012 and 2013 are TRC limit
exceedences.
MERCURY EVALUATION
The mercury evaluation was conducted in accordance with the Permitting Guidelines for Statewide
Mercury TMDL.
WQBEL allowable concentration for this facility is 63.6 ng/L. The facility has used method EPA 245.1 to
conduct the mercury sampling. The result was below detection level, in accor ance with the EPA
guidance we shall assume the mercury concentration of 100 ng/L. This value is -below-WQBEL of 63.6
ng/L and TBEL of 47 ng/L. Based on the Permitting Guidelines for Statewide Mercury TMDL, the
annual average TBEL limit of 47 ng/L will be added to the permit. The monitoring frequency will be
established as Quarterly.
PERMIT LIMITS
• BOD limits in the permit are based on the water quality model.
• TSS limits in the permit are based on the requirements of the 40 CFR 133.102.
• Ammonia limits in the permit are based on the water quality model. The 3 MGD discharge has a
monthly average limit of 10.0 mg/L (summer and winter) to correspond with the "original" modeled
ammonia limits based on oxygen consumption. The 4.5 MGD discharge has a summer monthly
average limit of 3.2 mg/L and a winter monthly average of 7.7 mg/L based on toxicity. The 6.0 MGD
discharge also has a toxicity based monthly average limit of 2.7 mg/L in the summer and 6.2 mg/L for
the winter.
• Fecal Coliform Limits in the permit are based on the November 30, 2007 revisions to the North
Carolina water quality standards [15A NCAC 2B .0200].
• TRC limit in the permit is based on the North Carolina water quality standards [15A NCAC 2B
.0200].
• pH limits limit in the permit are based on the North Carolina water quality standards [15A NCAC 2B
.0200].
• Mercury limit is the permit is based on the Permitting Guidelines for Statewide Mercury TMDL.
• Selenium limit in the permit is based on the results of the Reasonable Potential Analysis.
PROPOSED CHANGES:
• Limit for Selenium was added to the permit based on the results of the Reasonable Potential Analysis
and monitoring frequency has been reduced to Monthly (Flow Tier for 6.0 MGD).
• A Mercury Minimization Plan Special Condition was added to the permit (Please see A. (6.) The
Special Condition was added to implement a Statewide Mercury TMDL, which requires a
Mercury Minimization Plan for Major POTWs if mercury is detected at levels above 1 ng/L.
• Based on the Permitting Guidelines for Statewide Mercury TMDL, the annual average TBEL limit of
47 ng/L will be added to the permit. The monitoring frequency will be established as Quarterly (all
Flow Tiers).

• Monitoring for Sulfates has been removed from the permit based on the review of the effluent data
(all Flow Tiers).
• Monitoring for Chlorides, Copper, Silver, and Zinc has been reduced to Quarterly based on the results
of the Reasonable Potential Analysis (all Flow Tiers).
• Monitoring for Cyanide has been removed from the permit based on the results of the Reasonable
Potential Analysis (all Flow Tiers).
• Monitoring and limits for Nickel have been removed from the permit based on the results of the
Reasonable Potential Analysis (all Flow Tiers).
• Monitoring for Selenium has been reduced to Quarterly based on the results of the Reasonable

COMMENTS
on the
DRAFT NPDES PERMIT
for the
SPINDALE WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT
PERMIT NC0020664
TOWN OF SPINDALE
RUTHERFORD COUNTY, NC
1.0 COVER LETTER
The cover letter pointed out critical aspects of the Draft NPDES permit. There were many
positive changes made in the Draft NPDES permit for which the Town is grateful.
• Sulfates all Tiers: Monitoring has been removed from the permit.
• Chlorides, Copper, Silver & Zinc all Tiers: Monitoring has been reduced from twice per
month to quarterly.
• Cyanide all Tiers: Monitoring has been removed.
• Nickel all Tiers: Both the numerical limit and monitoring have been removed from the
permit.
• Selenium for Tiers 1 & 2: Monitoring has been reduced to Quarterly.
These are all very positive factors for the Town of Spindale and it does not go unnoticed.
2.0 PERMIT
The Town has concerns regarding three items in the Draft Permit:
• A Proposed Numerical Effluent Limit for Mercury (Hg)
• The Proposed Requirement for a Mercury Minimization Plan (MMP)
• A Proposed Paragraph in Part IV C.2.c
2.1 PART I of the DRAFT PERMIT - NUMERICAL EFFLUENT LIMIT FOR MERCURY (Hg)
The first item that the Town would like to comment on is in connection with the proposed
numerical effluent limit for mercury (Hg). The Town understands that, in accordance with Mr.
Sergei Chernikov's email of Monday, July 29, 2013 at 7:56 AM, the Division of Water Quality
(DWQ) will remove the proposed mercury limit and quarterly monitoring from the final permit.
A copy of the email exchange is provided in Exhibit 1. This is very good news and the Town is
grateful for DWQ's positive response. For the record, the Town would like to include additional
comments regarding mercury as part of these comments. There are provided in Exhibit 2.
Prepared by: Kurt D. Wright & Assoc., Inc. Page 1

Comments on the Draft NPDES Permit - Spindale WWTP Town of Spindale, NC
2.2 PART I of the DRAFT PERMIT - MERCURY MINIMIZATION PLAN (MMP)
The Town raises an objection to the addition of a Mercury Minimization Plan (MMP) to the
NPDES permit. Although the Town recognizes the concern to both control and greatly reduce
the amount of mercury in the environment, the Town also believes that DWQ can implement
its Mercury Minimization Plan in other ways than adding it to the NPDES permit. The purpose
of the MMP is to identify sources of mercury in the collection, conveyance and treatment
system of the Town of Spindale and identify methods for its reduction. The Town supports this
and, upon receiving a recommendation from DWQ to do so, would implement this without it
being a requirement in the NPDES permit. The objection the Town raises is that whenever
something is added to the NPDES permit, it bears with it the full weight of the Clean Water Act.
This exposes the Town to liability and it creates another NPDES compliance requirement upon
the WWTP Superintendent. There are serious ramifications to both for non-compliance and
there are times when compliance or non-compliance to something like an MMP is not clear.
Also, there may be times when DWQ may not necessarily believe a particular requirement in
the NPDES has been violated by the Town, but EPA may. This could come about as a result of
varying interpretations of and ambiguity in the language. The Town believes the requirement
of the MMP can be made apart from the NPDES permit anclgusezantly_siesires_that-it-be-- i /
removed. The Town will however impleme P as a guide. V
2.3 PART IV of the DRAFT PERMIT - A PROPOSED PARAGRAPH IN PART IV C.2.c
Subpart C.2.c. is proposed language and is a cause of concern to the Town. The proposed tex \w,
is provided below:
"The Permittee shall investigate the source of all discharges into the POTW,
including slug loads and other unusual discharges, which have the potential to
adversely impact the Permittee's Pretreatment Program and/or the operation of
the POTW.
The Permittee shall report such discharges into the POTW to the Director or the
appropriate Regional Office. Any information shall be provided orally within 24
hours from the time the Permittee became aware of the circumstances. A written
submission shall also be provided within 5 days of the time the Permittee
becomes aware of the circumstances. The written submission shall contain a
description of the discharge; the investigation into possible sources; the period of
the discharge, including exact dates and times; if the discharge has not ceased,
the anticipated time it is expected to continue; and steps taken or planned to
reduce, eliminate, and prevent reoccurrence of the noncompliance,"
The concerns of the Town can generally be categorized as follows:
• The word "Potential"
• The phrase "The source of all discharges"
• The Reporting Requirements
Prepared by: Kurt D. Wright & Assoc., Inc. Page 2

Comments on the Draft NPDES Permit -Spindale WWTP Town of Spindale, NC
The Word "Potential"
The proposed text states that, "The Permittee shall investigate...all discharges into the
POTW...which have the potential to adversely impact...the POTW." (Emphasis added.)
Potential is not defined. In order for the Town to know how to meet the requirements of the
proposed language the Town needs to know what DWQ means by the word "Potential."
Nearly every discharger connected to the Town's WWTP has the "Potential" to harm the WWTP
and the Town does not believe this is the meaning that DWQ is attaching to this language.
However, the problem lies in that the Town does not know the meaning that DWQ is attaching
to this language. To illustrate a point: suppose a business has a chemical substance which it
utilizes in its operations. All the employees in that business know and understand that this
chemical and/or wastes associated with it are not to be discharged to the building sewer and
nothing happens for many years. The waste associated with this chemical is to be hauled off
for disposal by a contractor. However, after many years in business new employees are hired
and they are not properly trained in connection with this chemical. This is due in large part
because the culture within the business assumes everyone knows that this chemical is not to be
discharged to the building sewer. However, the new employees in fact do not know this. A
series of events occurs which no one can conceive of in that business (i.e. a series of
unfortunate events) that leads to an accident. This series of events causes one of the new
employees to simply and unwittingly dump this chemical into the building sewer thus creating a
slug Toad. To further illustrate this point assume this chemical is toxic to the biomass in the
aeration basin and adversely affects the activated sludge rending the aeration basin ineffective
in treating the wastewater until it is able to recover. This then leads to NOVs. The manager of
this business and its employees all do not expect this series of events to occur, but it does.
Thus, this business has the potential to adversely impact the POTW. This scenario exists in
theory right now not only in the Town of Spindale but with any municipality with a non-
residential discharger. There are many other possible scenarios that could be imagined,
different than the one created above, that would to bring to light problems with this vague
word "Potential."
The Phrase "The source of all discharges"
The Town is concerned with this language. In the case of the above scenario when the state
adds to this the phrase "the source of all discharges" [emphasis added] it multiplies the
concerns of the Town regarding this proposed language. At face value the black and white text
states "all discharges." All means all. This could mean a residence, a restaurant, a laundry mat,
an auto repair shop, a rogue discharger, anything. Perhaps DWQ did not mean to be as
inclusive as described above, however, the text reads this way and it can be enforced by the
state or EPA as being any discharger, anywhere, anytime. Vague and all inclusive language
such as this makes it very difficult for a WWTP Superintendent to implement, and it is
enforceable under the full weight of the Clean Water Act. To what extent does a WWTP
Superintendent go to know if any discharger on the system has the potential to harm the
WWTP? Further how does a WWTP Superintendent protect the WWTP from a "potential"
discharger?
Prepared by: Kurt D. Wright & Assoc., Inc. Page 3

Comments on the Draft NPDES Permit -Spindale WWTP Town of Spindale, NC
The Reporting Requirements
The proposed reporting requirements are extensive. If a WWTP Superintendent finds
himself/herself in a situation where he/she needs to conduct an investigation under this
proposed language here is the list of requirements that he/she must to comply with:
1. Report the slug load or unusual discharge to DWQ
2. Provide DWQ with any information available regarding the event within 24 hours from
the time the WWTP Superintendent was aware of the problem, and
3. Provide DWQ a written submission within 5 days of the event containing:
a. Description of the discharge,
b. the investigation into the possible sources,
c. the period of the discharge including the "exact dates and times"
d. if the discharge has not ceased, the anticipated time it is expected to continue,
e. steps taken or planned to reduce, eliminate, and prevent the reoccurrence of the
noncompliance.
The above steps would, in a general way, be taken by any responsible WWTP Superintendent or
operator if they discovered a problem with the WWTP without this language in the NPDES
permit. Further each WWTP Superintendent or operator would have their own method of
dealing with this issue. There are many ways to 'skin a cat' and one particular method could be
just as effective in the long run as someone else's. The concerns of the Town are that DWQ has
used vague language that must be complied with in this proposed paragraph and, if not
followed to the satisfaction of DWQ/EPA, it will become enforceable under the full weight of
the Clean Water Act.
General Comment regarding Boiler Plate Language
The Town of Spindale understands this language is what DWQ refers to as 'boiler plate
language.' That is, the text consists of paragraphs, phrases or units of text used repeatedly in
most all the municipal permits issued by the state. Although this may be boiler plate language
it is nonetheless proposed new material in the Town of Spindale's NPDES Permit and during this
review and comment period the Town objects to it. The same comment raised in paragraph 2.2
above is raised here and t at is w enever somet in is added to the NPDES permit, it bears
with it the full weight of the Clean Water Act. This exposes the Town to liability and it creates
another NPDES compliance requirement upon the WWTP superintendent. Therefore, the Town
wishes to dialog with DWQ regarding this language either to eliminate it altogether, or if that is
not possible, to define the terms used in this Section clearly.

Kurt,
Based on the submitted data I can remove the mercury limit and quarterly monitoring in the final
permit. For some reason, the facility did not submit the pretreatment data on the DMRs and I did not
have it available for statistical analysis.
Please let me know if you have any questions.

Subject: Spindale Draft NPDES Permit
I have a question regarding Hg in the Draft NPDES Permit and attached documents.
Please refer to the Fact Sheet, page 2 regarding Hg. It states,
"WQBEL allowable concentration for this facility is 63.6
ng/L. The facility has used method EPA 245.1 to conduct
the mercury sampling. The result was below detection
level, in accordance with the EPA guidance we shall
assume the mercury concentration of 100 mg/L. This value
is above WQBEL of 63.6 ng/L and TBEL of 47 ng/L. Based
on the Permitting Guidelines for Statewide Mercury TMDL,
the annual average TBEL limit of 47 ng/L will be added to
the permit. The monitoring frequency will be established
as Quarterly."

Comments on the Draft NPDES Permit - Spindale WWTP
Town of Spindale, NC
I looked at the NPDES Application that I prepared for the Town of Spindale and noted at that at
that time I could only locate one Hg result. It was in one of their SCANs. On page 11 of 27 of the
NPDES Permit Renewal Application I presented that one result as follows:
Mercury, BDL, Based on results reported in only one (1) of the (3) SCANs, Analytical Method
EPA 245.1.
I was at the WWTP this week discussing Hg with the Superintendent. He informed me that Hg
was on their Long Term Monitoring Plan (LTMP) so I copied that electronic file from him and
reviewed it. They have performed Hg sampling and analysis on a quarterly basis as part of their
LTMP on their influent and effluent. The net result is that the highest annual average Hg in the
effluent was 18.85 ng/L and the lowest annual average was 6.52 ng/L. This sheds new light on
the Hg situation. Please refer to Table 1 at the end of this email (please scroll down). I would
like to discuss this with you at your earliest opportunity.

Comments on the Draft NPDES Permit - Spindale WWTP Town of Spindale, NC
EXHIBIT 2
Additional Comments Regarding Mercury
Even though DWQ has indicated that the proposed mercury limit and quarterly monitoring will
be removed from the final permit the Town of Spindale would still like to go on record
regarding some issues it sees in connection with sampling and analyzing for mercury at levels
down to parts -per -trillion (ng/L).
The Town of Spindale is very concerned regarding Hg in connection with sampling per EPA
Method 1669 and low level analysis provided in EPA Test Method 1631e. The Town
understands DWQ's concern for monitoring levels of Hg at the part -per -trillion levels (ng/L).
The Town is concerned with the following factors involving EPA Test Method 1631e especially
regarding results reported in the range of parts -per -trillion:
1. There is a possibility of contamination in the field during the sampling process.
2. There is a possibility of contamination in the laboratory during the analytical process.
3. Due to 1. & 2. above a question is raised as to whether it can be truly known where the
source of mercury is coming from in a WWTP effluent. Consider the following scenario:
Assume the Town has an NPDES permit limit of 47 ng/L. Next, assume that the
laboratory returns several results reporting the Hg levels over the 47 ng/L limit. What if
the samples were contaminated during collection or there was laboratory error or
both? How would one know that the sample was contaminated? Further, if the sample
was contaminated by how much? If the amount of contamination were known and
deducted from the value analyzed by the Town the resultant value might not be an
exceedance.
The possibility of contamination in the field during the sampling process is illustrated by the
information provided on a web site belonging to ALS — Columbia, an environmental laboratory
with many locations in the USA, http://www.caslab.com/Mercury-Testing/. On this web site
the following was stated regarding the possibility of Hg contamination of field samples:
"The clean sampling techniques described in EPA Method 1669
should be used for sampling. Since most mercury contamination
comes from the atmosphere, it is very easy to contaminate water
samples. Other sources of contamination are metal containers,
talc powdered gloves, improperly cleaned and stored equipment,
and dust and dirt. By following these clean sampling procedures, it
has been shown that much of the historical data for mercury in
seawater was erroneously high because of contamination from
sampling."
A source of Hg in the atmosphere is from coal-fired power plants. Duke Power has operated a
coal-fired powered plant in Rutherford County for many years. The straight line distance from
this facility to the Spindale WWTP is about 14 miles, refer to Figure 1.

Comments on the Draft NPDES Permit - Spindale WWTP Town of Spindale, NC
The Town understands there are significant concerns regarding Hg in the environment. At the
same time the Town believes that when a municipality attempts to collect a sample of its
wastewater treatment plant effluent there are significant contamination issues especially at the
parts -per -trillion level. Added to this concern is another reality, and that is reporting a result to
a state agency becomes a fact to that state agency by default. In others words if a municipality
has a requirement to report Hg in its effluent to the DWQ, and it collects samples, has them
analyzed in a state certified laboratory, and reports that result to the state, the state will
automatically render it a fact that the amount of Hg reported is in reality in the wastewater
treatment plant effluent. If the municipality has an Hg effluent limit, and the reported result is
over that limit, then that municipality has — in the eyes of the state — violated the NPDES
effluent limit. There is no way to ascertain in this process (a) if the sample was contaminated in
the field, or lab, or both and (b) if there was contamination, how much of the reported value is
due to contamination. If (a) occurred and (b) was known the result initially reported by the lab
would be adjusted downward and that could turn what was an apparent exceedance into a
value that did not exceed the effluent limit. These issues with Hg are of a unique concern to
the Town of Spindale.

The permittee, PPG Industries, Inc., has applied for permit renewal. The current permit expires on
August 31, 2013. This permit allows PPG to discharge treated wastewater at 1.3 MGD to outfall 001 and
to discharge non -cooling water to outfall 002. In addition to the flow from PPG's operation, a high
performance thermoplastic manufacturing facility (Azdel Inc) located adjacent to the PPG site
discharges approximately 10,000 gallons per day to the PPG Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) for
treatment. Azdel Inc uses the fiberglass produced at PPG in part of their industrial process. Outfall 001
includes discharges from the WWTP that treats industrial, domestic and stormwater from both the sites.
Outfall 002 includes discharges from non -contact cooling wastewater and stormwater. PPG has also
obtained coverage under SW general permit number NCG070015, which contains outfalls, 003, 004,
005, 006, 007, and 008.
Based on the WWT facilities that are available, PPG should be able to continue to meet the
existing and proposed permit effluent limitations, provided there are no significant changes in the current
waste stream.
At this time, there are no additional changes are requested by PPG, it is recommended that the
permit be renewed as requested.

Notes regarding the data entered in Part D.
1. In accordance with instructions from DENR, the Mass loading for "Maximum Daily Discharge" is
calculated based on using (a) the maximum value of the three pollutant scans and (b) the maximum daily
flow experienced during the last 12 months (which is 4.0 MGD). This is a hypothetical case. The occasion
for which the wastewater treatment plant would have a discharge wherein both of these values occurred
at the same time is not probable.
2. Mass loading for average daily discharge is based on the average daily flow for the last 12 months of 0.792
MGD.
3. The laboratory did not report a value for 3,4 BENZO-FLUORANTHENE. The same thing happened
during the last permit cycle, and the laboratory indicated at that time that this compound might be the
same as BENZO(b)FLUORANTHENE for which a value of BQL was reported in all three (3) SCANs. (A
complete copy of all three SCANs is attached.) Due to the fact that the laboratory was not positive that
these two constituents are one in the same the BQL was not entered in Part D for 3,4 BENZO-
FLUORANTHENE. If DENR requires additional information from the Town of Spindale regarding 3,4
BENZO-FLUORANTHENE, please contact Kurt Wright, PE at 828.245.4080.
4. Some constituents tested in the samples have different names for the same substance. In some cases the
name utilized by the laboratory was different than the name used by EPA in Part D of the NPDES renewal
application. The constituents for which this circumstance occurred are listed in the table below.
