Subject: NPDES Permit Issuance
NPDES No. NC0000752
Roanoke Rapids Mill
Halifax County
Dear Mr. Puryear:
In accordance with the application for a discharge permit received on December 3, 1996,
the Division is forwarding herewith the subject NPDES 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 December 6, 1983.
In response to your comment letter of July 16, 1997, the Division submits the following:
1) The description of the treatment facilities has been revised according to your request.
2) Footnote number 4 for outfall 001 was inadvertently truncated in the draft permit. The
requirement to test for pentachlorophenols and trichlorophenols is applicable ONLY if
chlorophenolic biocidal compounds are utilized. Otherwise, no monitoring for these
constituents is required. The limits for these two constituents will remain in the permit, albeit
the monitoring requirement may not be applicable.
3) The ammonia levels in this effluent are significantly higher than previously assumed. In
addition, background levels of ammonia are much higher than typical values for waterbodies
such as the Roanoke River. Since ammonia is a significant oxygen consuming waste, more
frequent monitoring is necessary to assure dissolved oxygen standards are protected. Both
the Weyerhaeuser and Champion paper plants on the Roanoke River have had this
requirement added to their permits as a mechanism to assess that downstream dissolved
oxygen levels are protected. After 12 months of data, you may request a decrease in
monitoring frequency.
4) Due to the confirmed presence of mercury in the effluent, it is essential to more frequently
monitor and limit this parameter. Mercury has a significant potential to be chemically
changed instream making it readily bioaccumulative. The Division strongly encourages
Champion to identify and eliminate the source of mercury in the effluent.

Part I Permit No. NC0000752
,Section A (5). Special Conditions
1. CHRONIC TOXICITY PASS/FAIL PERMIT LIMIT (QRTRLY)
The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit chronic toxicity using test procedures outlined in the "North
Carolina Ceriodaphnia Chronic Effluent Bioassay Procedure," Revised November 1995, or subsequent
versions.
The effluent concentration at which there may be no observable inhibition of reproduction or significant
mortality is 3.7% (defined as treatment two in the procedure document). The permit holder shall perform
quarterly monitoring using this procedure to establish compliance with the permit condition. 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.
All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit condition will be entered on the Effluent Discharge
Monitoring Form (MR-1) for the month in which it was performed, using the parameter code TGP3B.
Additionally, DWQ Form AT-1 (original) is to be sent to the following address:
Attention: Environmental Sciences Branch
North Carolina Division of Water Quality
4401 Reedy Creek Road
Raleigh, North Carolina 27607
Test data shall be complete and accurate and include all supporting chemical/physical measurements performed
in association with the toxicity tests, as well as all dose/response data. 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
Branch at the address cited above.
Should any single quarterly monitoring indicate a failure to meet specified limits, then monthly monitoring will
begin immediately until such time that a single test is passed. Upon passing, this monthly test requirement
will revert to quarterly in the months specified above.
Should the permittee fail to monitor during a month in which toxicity monitoring is required, then monthly
monitoring will begin immediately until such time that a single test is passed. Upon passing, this monthly test
requirement will revert to quarterly in the months specified above.
Should any test data from this monitoring requirement or tests performed by the North Carolina Division of
Water Quality 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.

Wasteload Allocation (WLA) Summary
The WLA for Champion's permit renewal at it's Roanoke Rapids plant is for it's 28.0 MGD
WWTP. Monitoring/Limits for certain metals have been changed due to the results of a reasonable
potential analysis. Otherwise, all other parameters in the permit remain as in the previous version. A
brief WLA history is as follows:
1983: limits based upon 40 CFR 430.1 & 430.5 BPT/BAT (unbleached kraft & paper board from waste
paper) ; notes indicate they changed from the previous issuance which is not in the files. Two
process discharges were modeled; one for 21 MGD and another for 30 MGD. The 7Q10 used was.
1,800 cfs and the model used was the HORN model and the conversion factor for the BOD was 3:1.
No model results in file.
1988: excellent WLA notes explaining modeling analysis and recommended limits; due to small IWC,
concentration -based limits not recommended. Level B model used and indicated DO problems.
The model was run under variou,s scenario's and attempts were made to determine whether this
discharge was the problem, (their instream monitoring did not indicate any problems, but the
recalcitrant BOD may not have been evident in the higher reaches). It was assumed that the waste
had its influence in a tidally effected area of the middle Roanoke and therefore couldn't be
accurately modeled. It was also noted that effluent and instream data seemed to indicate that the
facility was seasonally influenced for its ability to break down various BOD components and
because of this and the model uncertainty, (considered fairly high due to the use of the Level B) it
could not be justified to limit this facility by anything other than the CFR guidelines, but it was
strong enough to limit the facility at the previous loading levels. Three letters, (NC Environmental
Defense Fund, NC Coastal Federation, and the Southern Environmental Law Center) questioned the
application production increase being approximately 1/3 higher than previous years. They were
well substantiated and indicated that the Roanoke River could not assimilate any increase in loading
and that this production increase could not be substantiated. A memo, (and subsequent letter to
Champion) indicated that the facility had expanded from 19.5 MGD up to 28 MGD in the past and
was substantially upgrading their production facilities. It also noted that the previous years
production numbers were substantially higher than previous years and that the application was
probably correct. It also noted that the modeling analysis contained errors, (the background DO
deficit was 'double counted') but even with this error corrected, the predicted sag was still below the
WQ standard of 5.0 mg/1 dissolved oxygen. The TKN was modeled as if all of it became NH3,
therefore the oxygen consumption would be high - the long-term BOD test indicated that this
assumption, (while a bit high) was fairly accurate.

1990: notes from meeting between DEM and Champion - proposed expansion and change to bleach kraft
mill, (currently 'brownstock'). A consultant was hired by Champion to model the proposed changes
- brief notes on modeling issues. Facility received SOP for Level C modeling, (and data collection).
Questions on what BOD conversion factors to use, dioxins, etc. brought up...
1993: WLA's for 001 and 004 were re -issued with existing limits and the addition of various toxics
monitoring.
In previous years, the Level B model of the Roanoke was used to determine assimilative capacity. This
model indicated that the Roanoke was over assimilated. Since that time, a Level C, (fully calibrated model)
was developed for the Basin Plan and it did not indicate any DO problems in the Roanoke River. Instream
DO data indicates a period, (in 1995 ) of below 5.0 mg/1, but it was upstream of the discharge and not
reflected at the downstream site.
Proposed Effluent Limitations:
Limits will essentially remain the same as in the previous permit based on BPJ, and given that pulp and
paper guidelines are being reevaluated. Note that there is no bleaching done at this facility. The proposed
changes are:
NH3 as N: Monitoring for this parameter was added to determine the influence of NH3 (and
the corresponding oxygen demand) on the instream DO.
Reasonable Potential Calculations:
As a result of the reasonable potential calculations, monitoring/ limits for Aluminum,
Chromium, and lead were removed from the permit and a limit for mercury was inserted.

PART IV - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
A site visit was performed for the permit renewal in conjunction
with the annual Compliance Evaluation Inspection.
Outfall 001: A review of the facility's toxicity testing reveal
that the facility has ■passed■ all quarterly toxicity testing
from March 1994 through the last test performed in December 1996.
A review of the facility's monitoring reports from December 1995
through November 1996 show the facility to meet all permit
limitations and requirements for Outfalls 001, 002, 003 and 004.
The facility has just completed dredging the first stabilization
basin. This will provide even greater detention time as well as
greater storage and treatment of the wastewater. All dredging
material was removed and dewatered on the old landfill basin and
all water was collected and sent back to the stabilization ponds.
The RRO recommends renewal of existing NPDES Permit NC0000752 for
the Champion International Kraft Paper Plant at Roanoke Rapids.
The facility has been performing the requirements of the NPDES
permit. The RR9,j.ecommends expiration of NPDES Permit NC0000752
with the Roanoke,lBasin Wide Planning Schedule.

Facility Name: Champion International Permit # NC0000752 Pipe # 001
CHRONIC TOXICITY PASS/FAIL PERMIT LIMIT (QRTRLY)
The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit chronic toxicity using test procedures outlined in the "North
Carolina Ceriodaphnia Chronic Effluent Bioassay Procedure," Revised November 1995, or subsequent
versions.
The effluent concentration at which there may be no observable inhibition of reproduction or significant
mortality is 3.7 % (defined as treatment two in the procedure document). The permit holder shall perform
quarterly monitoring using this procedure to establish compliance with the permit condition. The tests will
be performed during the months of Mar., Jun., Sept., and Dec.. Effluent sampling for this testing
shall be performed at the NPDES permitted final effluent discharge below all treatment processes.
All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit condition will be entered on the Effluent
Discharge Monitoring Form (MR-1) for the month in which it was performed, using the parameter code
TGP3B. Additionally, DWQ Form AT-1 (original) is to be sent to the following address:
Attention: Environmental Sciences Branch
North Carolina Division of
Water Quality
4401 Reedy Creek Road
Raleigh, North Carolina 27607
Test data shall be complete and accurate and include all supporting chemical/physical measurements
performed in association with the toxicity tests, as well as all dose/response data. 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 Branch at the address cited above.
Should any single quarterly monitoring indicate a failure to meet specified limits, then monthly monitoring
will begin immediately until such time that a single test is passed. Upon passing, this monthly test
requirement will revert to quarterly in the months specified above.
Should the permittee fail to monitor during a month in which toxicity monitoring is required, then monthly
monitoring will begin immediately until such time that a single test is passed. Upon passing, this monthly
test requirement will revert to quarterly in the months specified above.
Should any test data from this monitoring requirement or tests performed by the North Carolina Division
of Water Quality 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 envir mental controls,
shall constitute an invalid test and will require immediate follow-up testing to be cometed no later than
the last day of the month following the month of the initial monitoring.

1983: limits based upon 40 CFR 430.1 & 430.5 BPT/BAT (unbleached kraft & paper board from waste paper) ; notes indicate
they changed from the previous issuance which is not in the files. Two process discharges were modeled; one for 21
mgd and another for 30 mgd. The 7010 used was 1,800 cfs and the model used was the HORN model and the
conversion factor for the BOD was 3:1. No model results in file.
1988: excellent WLA notes explaining modeling analysis and recommended limits; due to small IWC, concentration -based
limits not recommended. Level B model used and indicated DO problems. The model was run under various scenario's
and attempts were made to determine whether this discharge was the problem, (their instream monitoring did not
indicate any problems, but the recalcitrant BOD may not have been evident in the higher reaches). It was assumed that
the waste had its influence in a tidally effected area of the middle Roanoke and therefore couldn't be accurately
modeled. It was also noted that effluent and instream data seemed to indicate that the facility was seasonally
influenced for its ability to break down various BOD components and because of this and the model uncertainty,
(considered fairly high due to the use of the Level B) it could not be justified to limit this facility by anything other than
the CFR guidelines, but it was strong enough to limit the facility at the previous loading levels. Three letters, (NC
Environmental Defense Fund, NC Coastal Federation, and the Southern Environmental Law Center) questioned the
application production increase being approximately 1/3 higher than previous years. They were well substantiated and
indicated that the Roanoke River could not assimilate any increase in loading and that this production increase could
not be substantiated. A memo, (and subsequent letter to Champion) indicated that the facility had expanded from 19.5
mgd up to 28 mgd in the past and was substantially upgrading their production facilities. It also noted that the previous
years production numbers were substantially higher than previous years and that the application was probably correct.
It also noted that the modeling analysis contained errors, (the background DO deficit was 'double counted') but even
with this error corrected, the predicted sag was still below the WQ standard of 5.0 mg/I dissolved oxygen. The TKN was
modeled as if all of it became NH3, therefore the oxygen consumption would be high - the long-term BOD test indicated
that this assumption, (while a bit high) was fairly accurate.
1990: notes from meeting between DEM and Champion - proposed expansion and change to bleach kraft mill, (currently
brownstock'). A consultant was hired by Champion to model the proposed changes - brief notes on modeling issues.
Facility received SOP for Level C modeling, (and data collection). Questions on what BOD conversion factors to use,
dioxins, etc brought up...
1993: WLA's for 001 and 004 were re -issued with existing limits and the addition of various toxics monitoring.
In previous years, the Level B model of the Roanoke was used to determine assimilative capacity. This model indicated that
the Roanoke was over assimilated. Since that time, a Level C, (fully calibrated model) was developed for the Basin Plan and it
did not indicate any DO problems in the Roanoke River. lnstream DO data indicates a period, (in 1995 ) of below 5.0 mg/I, but
it was upstream of the discharge and not reflected at the downstream site. Because we cannot justify more stringent limits
than those proposed by the Guidelines, I will recommend that those limits be used.

Subject: Defoamer Use
Champion International
NPDES No. NC0000752
27870 Halifax County
We have reviewed the material faxed to our office (attached) concerning the use of the
defoamer Betz Foam-Trol 355 at the Champion wastewater treatment plant. As we
discussed on the phone, the maximum concentration of the defoamer in the effluent will be
1.3 ppm. The material submitted to our office lists a 7 day reproduction no observed effect
concentration (NOEC) of 50 ppm for Ceriodaphnia dubia. The amount of the defoamer
present in the effluent will be less than 2.5% of the level at which adverse effects to aquatic
organisms would be expected. Therefore, our office sees no potential problems with using
the defoamer at the stated concentration.
If you have any questions or require any further information, please call me at (919) 733-
2136.
