NOTES FOR CAROLINA YARN PROCESSOR, INC.
PERMIT RENEWAL (NC0048305)
Wastewater discharge from Carolina Yarn Processors, Inc. (Tryon, Polk County) to UT to
North Pacolet River in the Broad River Basin.
15A NCAC 2B .0300 Index # 9-55-1-(10) for N. Pacolet: Classified as C 3/1/63. Most
creeks along stretch also C.
ATC Information:
• ATC issued 7/23/81 for water plant wastewater system (Class I).
WLA (12/18/80) Information:
• All three outfalls have same parameters
Basinwide Plan Information:
• Sedimentation identified as a significant water quality problem.
Correspondence:
• Compliance inspection reports from 1996 and '97 document good conditions at the
plant; discharge was not occuring during either visit.
DMR Review:
• Instream turbidity levels showed no impact from effluent (usually levels downstream
slightly lower than upstream).
• Most discharge occurs from outfall 003.
• Effluent Aluminum levels typically average about 1 mg/1.
• Effluent Settleable Solids normally < 0.1 ml/1.
• Effluent TSS levels usually 1-10 mg/1.
• Flow for 003 usually 0.0045 MGD; 001 usually 0.05 MGD; and 002 usually 0.15
MGD. 003 should, qualify for quarterly monitoring of parameters (Coleen's memo,
Steve Pellei's notes on it re: if flow < 0.005 MGD.)
• Effluent pH values for 003 tend to run 8.0/8.5 SU; should probably retain
monitoring since approaching max. of 9.0 SU.
• Effluent Iron levels normally average < 0.1-0.2 mg/1, but sometimes upwards to 0.5
mg/1.
General Comments:
I recommend dropping monitoring frequency for 003 to quarterly per memo notes;
001 and 002 will remain the same, but will probably not require much monitoring
anyway, since discharge occurs much less frequently.
Expiration date to be assigned to this permit is July 31, 2003.
