Subject: Issuance of NPDES Permit NC0002305
Guilford Mills - East Plant
Duplin County
Dear Mr. Bruesch:
The Division of Water Quality (the Division) hereby issues this final permit for the subject facility. This permit is
issued to Guilford Mill, Inc. 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 May
9, 1994, or as subsequently amended.
The Division submitted the draft permit for public comment and to the EPA, Region 4 for review over -site, as
required. There were no public comments on the draft permit. However, please note that the following corrections
have been made to the draft permit following draft review.

Draft Errors Corrected. Some effluent limits in the draft permit were calculated in error (see table),
specifically for sulfides, oil & grease. Sulfide was miscalculated and, contrary to Division guidance, dilution was
applied to oil & grease. Lastly, phenols and chromium limits have been corrected for a minor "rounding" error for
consistency. These corrections have been added to the final permit Effluent Limitations and Monitoring
Requirements, A. (1.).
Concerning Priority Pollutant Analyses (PPA). Review of PPA data submitted by the permittee revealed test -
method practical quantitation levels (PQL) approximately twice higher than expected, i.e., much less sensitive than
expected for many parameters reported except metals. Although lower PQL testing is usually required by EPA
Region 4 as part of the renewal application, the EPA has agreed with the Division that compliance regarding these
parameters may be evaluated over the ensuing permit cycle. Therefore, the Division has added Special Condition
A. (3.) to the permit in lieu of testing immediately. The permittee is entreated to compile this database using the
most sensitive testing available from a North Carolina -Certified laboratory.

Permit NC0002305
A. (2.) 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 27%.
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.
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, DWQ Form AT-3 (original) is to be sent to the following address:
Environmental Sciences Branch
North Carolina Division of Water Quality
1621 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1621
Completed Aquatic Toxicity Test Forms shall be filed with the Environmental Sciences Branch 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 Branch 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 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.

PERMIT HISTORY AND COMPLIANCE REVIEW
Previous Permit and Waste Load Allocation (WLA). Division WLA records for Guilford Mills
date from 1977 (see history by Jason Doll, July 10, 1998). The latest permit became effective
November 1, 1996 and expired on July 31, 2001. The Division prepared a WLA in February 1996 and
developed effluent limits and monitoring considering an in -stream waste concentration (IWC) of 90
% based on discharge under swampy conditions. a The permit was modified to a phased permit in
July 1998 to provide for future relocation of the outfall. The Division received an application to
renew (Standard Form C) on August 3, 2001.1
Whole Effluent Toxicity (WET) Tests and Notices of Violation (NOVs). Guilford Mills experienced
failed toxicity testing during much of 2001. WET test violations and assessments followed. Remediation
efforts included moving the outfall (see below) and also targeted surfactants used with knitting yarn and
associated knitting machine lubricants. In their Toxicity Identification Evaluation (TIE) Final Report
(February 14, 2002), Guilford further identified organic polymers used in the clarifiers to promote solids
settling as another possible cause of failed tests. Guilford discontinued using these and this appeared to
solve the toxicity problem as subsequent tests since December 2001 have all passed. However, in the
absence of assisted solids settling, Guilford began experiencing Monthly Average limit violations for BOD5
and COD requiring further violation assessments during the first half of 2002.
Guilford Mills responded to solids problems by applying for Authorization to Construct, and the Division
approved a new alum/caustic dispensing system on August 20, 2002. Subsequently there have been no
permit limit violations despite continued high-level production.
Revised Outfall Location and Instream Waste Concentration (IWC). Toward the end of the previous
permit cycle, after receiving Authorization to Construct, the permittee extended the discharge outfall further
into the mainstem of the Northeast Cape Fear River to provide better effluent mixing. With this relocation,
the Division approved an IWC of 27 % (See Permitting Approach). The Division has verified that this new
outfall is located at Lat. 35° 01' 04"; Long. 77° 50' 52" using mapping software, Terran Navigator (see
permit Site Map).
Verifying Existing Stream Conditions. This facility discharges to the Northeast Cape Fear River [ 18-74-
(25.5)], a Class C-Sw stream within the Cape Fear River Basin.5 This stream segment is not "impaired" [not
303(d) listed], and was rated in 1998 as "Good to Fair" (based on benthic biota).5'6
PERMITTING APPROACH
Renewal Staff Report. In response to the renewal request, Wilmington Regional Office (WiRO)
conducted a site inspection and prepared a Staff Report dated October 31, 2001. The WiRO recommended
that Guilford Mill's production figures be reviewed considering 40CFR, with discharge parameters and
limits to be adjusted in accordance with the basin plan. In addition WiRO noted foaming in the WWTP
suggesting the presence of surfactants and recommended that MBAS monitoring (no limit) be added to the
permit. Pending a final technical review, the WiRO recommended renewal of this permit in accordance with
the Basin Plan.
Federal Regulations. Regulations applicable to this facility include 40CFR 410.50, Subpart E — Knit
Fabric Finishing Subcategory, specifically 410.51(b) defining a complex manufacturing operation. The
Division judges previous monitoring requirements to be appropriate for this renewal but has recalculated
FINAL Permit Fact Sli t

permit limits considering recent data supplied by the permittee (see Production Data). The Division has
applied Sections 410.52 [BPT] and 410.53 [BAT] to cover both conventional (BOD and TSS) and non -
conventional parameters and limits. In addition, the permittee qualifies under Section 410.53 (b) [more
stringent than 410.52 (c)] to further augment "in addition" the COD limits (60 + 20 = 80 lbs./day).
Production Data. Guilford Mills does not record daily production. A given workday may include only
"partial production" (some departments only), or may utilize only one or two of three 8-hour shifts.
Moreover, a shift's total production week may embrace a 5-day, 6-day, or 7-day workweek. For these
reasons, the permittee documents production in "standard fiscal months" - all months either 4 or 5 weeks
(either a 28-day or 35-day month). Guilford Mills provided 37 fiscal months of production data (July 1999
through July 2002). This record indicates that production totaled 94,667,512 "packed pounds" during 1,120
workdays suggesting a long-term daily average production rate of 84,525 pounds per day.
The Division concurs with the permittee that 84,525 pounds per day reasonably represents production.
Therefore, in keeping with EPA Region 4 guidance (received March 27, 2003), the Division has applied this
long-term daily average to calculate 40CFR permit limits (Table 2).

Reasonable Potential Analysis (RPA). The Division conducted EPA -mandated RPA on 45 months of
data to determine the "reasonable potential" for identified toxicants to exceed North Carolina water quality
stream Standards. The Division compiled five parameters of concern listed in the previous permit: Total
Copper, Total Chromium, Total Zinc, Oil & Grease and Total Phenols, 4'11 Results suggest no "reasonable
potential" for chromium or zinc, but do show reasonable potential for copper and oil & grease. These results
are summarized in Table 3.

Total Chromium Limits Calculation. The Division typically compares technology -based
calculations for chromium (40CFR) to the acute and chronic NC State Standards (Chronic = 50 pg/L;
Acute = 1022 µg/L — '/2 FAV for freshwater) to establish which are the more environmentally
conservative. However, based on the RPA, there is no reasonable potential for chromium to exceed
NC water quality standards. Therefore, this renewal will default to those permit limits required by
technology -based federal regulations.
Total Phenols. The evaluation criteria for Total Phenols is aesthetic in nature related to drinking water
taste and odor. Because this facility does not discharge to a waterbody classified as water supply (WS)
waters, phenol has no reasonable potential and is not water -quality limited. Therefore, similar to chromium,
phenol limits default to those required by federal technology -based regulations.
In -stream and Effluent Data Review. The Division reviewed 38 months (January 1999 through
February 2003) of Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMRs).11 Reports appear regular, thorough, and
complete. Total discharge of treated wastewater through Outfall 001 for this time period averaged about
0.905 MGD or 60% of permitted capacity. Maximum single day flow recorded during the permit cycle was
1.600 MGD (July 2001). An in-depth evaluation of instream monitoring is less relevant to renewal because
the discharge has been recently relocated closer to the Northeast Cape Fear mainstem to provide better
mixing and dilution.
Methylene Blue Activated Substances (MBAS) Monitoring. Having noted foaming possibly related to
detergents or surfactants in this facility's effluent, the Wilmington Regional Office has requested that this
permit include monitoring to gain information over the next permit cycle. Therefore, the Division has added
MBAS Weekly monitoring (no limit) to the permit.
RENEWAL SUMMARY
• BOD$ -- No changes; water quality limits lower than Tech limits (MA 200 µg/L /DM 400 µg/L)
• New limits -- COD, TSS, Sulfide, Phenols, and Total Chromium (based on new production data)
• Total Chromium -- defaulted to technology based limits (no reasonable potential)
• MBAS -- added monitoring, based on observed foaming thought to be related to surfactants
• Total Zinc -- deleted monitoring from the permit (no reasonable potential)
• Oil & Grease — RP, therefore added limits (30.0 mg/L and 45.0 mg/L) per Division Guidance

Subject: comments on NC0002305 - Guilford Mills

From: [e-mail]
To: [e-mail]
CC: [e-mail]
Roosevelt has asked Madolyn to work on a special project for the next month or so. He asked me to review
NC permits in the interim. Hope these comments are useful. Because I just got handed this permit today, I
see our time to resolve any comments is limited. Will you be able to provide me a response to these by the
end of this week? If not, I'll need to request an extension of our review time. Pls let me know asap. thanks
Marshall
APPLICATION:
1. The application indicates a priority pollutant analysis is being performed and the results will be
submitted to DENR. Those data were not included with the permit application that was sent here. It's
difficult to complete our review w/o that data. If you have that data, can you send it to me? If you don't
have the data, wouldn't the permit application be incomplete and shouldn't the permit require that that
monitoring be conducted?
FACT SHEET:
2. re production, I'm glad you are using our 3/03 production letter as guidance. I have a couple of
questions.
A. The fact sheet indicates that production data from 45 fiscal months of either 28- or 35-day length were
used to develop the long-term daily average. The fact sheet also indicates that a total of 1120 days was
used. 1120 days/45 months comes out to about 25 days/month. I would have expected that value to fall
between 28 and 35 days, but it's below both. Pls explain.
B. Did the mill provide 45 separate fiscal months of production data or did it just provide the total
production over that period? If the former, did you evaluate that data to see if the production level is
consistent throughout the period or that production from around September 2002 is not well below that
from early 1999 for example? If the latter, how did you ensure that there isn't a signficant difference
between production from early 1999 and more recent production levels
from the September 2002 timeframe?
PERMIT:
3. For sulfide -
A. The effluent guidelines monthly avg and daily max factors are 0.1 and 0.2, respectively. The draft
permit's monthly avg and daily max limits are 8.5 and 24.6 #/day, respectively. Shouldn't the daily max
sulfide limit be 17.0 instead of 24.6? If not, pls explain.
B. Shouldn't effluent sampling be by composite rather than grab?
4. The draft permit contains a TRC limit of 28 ug/l. The previous permit contained a TRC limit of 19 ug/l.
There is no discussion in the fact sheet for this apparent backsliding. Pls explain.
5. re oil and grease, I apparently need to explain the EPA recommendation of 15 mg/1, which probably
came from me originally. Most Region 4 states limit oil and grease at the end of the pipe at 10 mg/I
monthly avg and 15 mg/1 daily max; they don't allow credit for dilution. Will you change the oil and grease
limit to reflect no dilution to be consistent with the practices of the other Reg 4 states?

NC Response to EPA Comments on Draft Permit NC0002305
Joe Corporon, NPDES Unit, June 26, 2003 ti
EPA Comments from Marshall Hyatt, Region 4 dated May 20 and June 16, 2003 > � i GF 5
Concerning the APPLICATION:
Yes Marshall, I agree with you. According to NCDWQ's lab, they would prefer to see test EPA
8260/8270 for vol/semi-vol compounds at practical quantitation levels (PQLs) about/ those
reported by Guilford Mills -- in general for everything except the metals. Therefore, I propose to
reinstate the annual Priority Pollutant Analyses (PPA) with guidance toward lower PQLs in lieu of
requesting new data now (and holding up the permit final). Is this acceptable?
1/'1; AL Yes.
'kaa.sefikt-t-, You did not respond to my comment re antimony.
Concerning the FACT SHEET:
pAErf_
To Your Question 2A: Thanks for identifying my error in adding up the months provided. Total
data set should read 37, not 45 months (July99 through July2002). Therefore the average you seek
is 1120/37 = 30.3 days per month. I have corrected the Fact Sheet accordingly.
�q?�1 Thanks for correcting.
^_k . To Your Question 2B: Guilford did provide data for separate fiscal months (see attached XL
spreadsheet), showing a notable increase toward the end of the time period (Spring 2002) related to
new contracts for headliner and auto upholstery for the Ford Motor Company. I considered at the
time the data variability and how "significant" it might be in the long term. No earlier data are
available. We concluded that the permittee was volunteering an environmental conservative
approach considering recent higher production. In the end, this data set seemed accurate and
"representative" and we could find no good reason not to accept their approach to a long-term
average. Do you agree?
l`7tA�L I did look at the data and agree that the use of a long-term avg of 84,525 #/day is
conservative and appropriate for use here.
Concerning the PERMIT:
To Your Questions 3A and 3B: For sulfide — Again thanks for catching the error. Daily Max
should be 17.0 — will change fact sheet and permit. However sulfide samples, according to NCAC
2B.0500 Guidance Supplement (December 30, 1997), "shall all be grab no matter where
collected."

fr46--.e- 2 bF,‘S
Thanks for correcting the fact sheet and permit. if NC regs say sulfide sampling is
via grab, I'm satisfied.
To Your Question 4: The previous permit was phased, the last phase becoming active at
relocating of the outfall (see Fact Sheet). This last phase included TRC at 28 ug/L. Therefore, no
change from the previous permit.
M 4A-L1/4" ' I'm satisfied.
To Your Question 5. Two points here — 1st, your right, I have incorrectly allowed for dilution.
NC does not usually for O&G — nobody caught it except you. 2nd, Dave still feels uncomfortable
with 10 & 15 mg/L. NC permits say 30/45 mg/L or sometimes 30/60 mg/L. Do you have any
scientific rationale that might support lower numbers? In the interest of maintaining consistency
across the state, we are inclined to revise the drafted 56.9 mg/L O&G to 30/45 mg/L monthly
average/daily max. Is this acceptable?
Is the O&G petroleum- or vegetable -based? If vegetable, EPA's red book and gold book
say there's no harm to aquatic life, so 30/45 limits would be fine or there's probably no
need for a limit. I did dig into EPA's 1982 textile guidelines development document. For
the knit fabric complex processing subcategory, the median untreated wastewater O&G
level was 50 mg/l. For aerated lagoons in this subcategory, one direct discharger reported
an effluent conc of 46 mg/1. For two facilities that used activated sludge, effluent levels of
110 and 32 mg/I were reported. Not sure what conclusion to come to based on these,
limited data. I also don't have a scientific basis for 10/15 if it's petroleum -based. FL does
have a numeric WQS of 5.0 mg/1. 10/15 is the permitting practice of just about every other
Reg 4 state and I don't hear much about trouble complying with it. I'm guessing there is
no scientific basis for NC's 30/45 or 30/60 and that that has been your permitting practice.
Ultimately, as you can tell, I'm not sure what to recommend at this point. For the last 1-2
yrs of DMR data, what are the effluent levels of oil and grease?

2nd Response to EPA Comments on Draft
Guilford Mills -- Permit NC0002305
Joe Corporon -- June 27, 2003
About Antimony (sorry I missed it, Marshall) — we are less concerned about "contaminated
water + fish consumption," rather more concerned about just "fish consumption" because this
facility discharges to C-Sw (swamp) waters and not WS (water supply). Therefore our read of
EPA applicable criteria is more on the order of 4300 ug/L for antimony. Considering levels and
dilution, we are therefore not inclined to regulate this parameter. Do you agree?
drat, {44ti ', Thanks for the fuller explanation. I agree. We assume you would react the same if the
facility happened to discharge to a Class C water with no water supply.
O&G -- I'm guessing that O&G is petroleum -based having toured the facility. I empathize with
you're quandary about recommendations. Consider also, Guilford's data set reports a high of
43.0 mg/L with a mean of 10.5 over a 3-year period (66 data points). The 43 mg/L, while likely
real, could be questioned statistically in that there are no others reported above 18 mg/L.
Without this data point, they do not show reasonable potential (max predicted: 23.2 mg/L;
allowable: 56.9 mg/L) — even if limited at 10 mg/L, their max predicted is only 38.0 mg/L
without the high. Considering this, justifying a limit at all is BPJ. We are inclined therefore, to
stick with our draft limits. Your thoughts?
'1 t\Q-5(11AL l - I guess I'm not comfortable with someone who has a long-term avg of 10.5 mg/I with an
abundance of 66 data pts getting a 30 mg/l limit. There's not much of an incentive for
them to make sure "burps" of 43 mg/l don't happen. In the end, I have no basis to object
and can only strongly recommend that you base the limit on their long-term performance.
thanks for addressing my concerns. Will send you a no comment letter.

eyeballing the available dilution from your fact sheet, it appears that there is reasonable e
potential to exceed this criterion instream and that a limit is needed. Do you agree? kl
2. Even if BDLs are listed, we evaluate the detection levels reported against what we expect
method 624/625 to routinely achieve. For several organic parameters reported, the
detection levels are higher than they should be.

It appears that sampling for the volatile, acid, and base/neutral GC/MS fractions on Form 2C
should be repeated with sufficiently sensitive detection levels. Do you agree?
Based on receiving your fax of these data on 6/13, our 30-day review clock begins anew. We
thus have until 7/11to resolve these and my previous 5/20 comments. Will you be able to
respond to all of these by 6/30? thanks Marshall

DRAFT NPDES Permit NC0002305
Guilford Mills, Inc. — Guilford East Plant
Kenansville, Duplin County
Dear Mr. Corporon:
MAY 2 2 2003
This letter is to provide comments to subject Draft NPDES permit received by the writer
on April 28, 2003. These comments are being submitted within the 30-day public
comment period.
Several corrections are needed in order that the wastewater treatment equipment listed
on the Supplement to Permit Cover Sheet represent the current operation. The
corrections are attached.
Guilford Mills is mid -way through a Waste Load Allocation (WLA) Study on the section of
the Lower Cape Fear River affected by our discharge. Preliminary findings of this Study
indicate that the assimilative capacity of the receiving stream may be greater than
permitted. Since the final results of the WLA Study will provide information that was not
previously available, we respectfully request that a new discharge permit not be issued
until the results of the WLA study are available. The study is expected to be completed
within a few months.
It should also be pointed out that Guilford has historically had problems with compliance
of the permit limit for BOD5, particularly problems meeting toxicity and BOD5 limits
simulataneously. Furthermore, compliance may be increasingly difficult as a result of
the higher production levels presented in the renewal application. To -date, Guilford has
sustained extrordinarily high operating costs in efforts to meet the current BOD5 limits.
These conditions increase the significance of the WLA Study being performed and
necessitate incorporation of the Study results in this permit.

Please note also that Guilford has requested an amendment to Special Order by
Consent (SOC) Number EMC SOC WQ01-011, requesting a new expiration date of
June 1, 2004. Additional treatment facilities will be constructed, upon approval of
Authorization to Construct (ATC) Number 002305A02, which is expected shortly, during
the period covered by the SOC. While in effect, this SOC contains permit limits that
supercede the limits contained in the permit, giving further justification to delay issuance
of the draft permit until the WLA Study is complete.
Please call me at 336-316-4319 if you have any questions or if you need any additional
informati

RE: Renewal of NPDES Permit NC0002305--Your Request for Daily Pro duction Figures
Fri, 3 Jan 2003 11:45:32 -0500
Paul Bruesch <[e-mail]>
"Joe Corporon"' <[e-mail]>
Marvin Cox <[e-mail]>, Fredie Davis <[e-mail]>, Brent Turner
Attached is a spreadsheet that I obtained from the site Industrial Engineer that contains weekly historical
production figures, from September 1999 through September 2002. Let me know if this will satisfy your
request for information.
The weekly production was run in production schedules that varied from week -to -week. One week could have
been a 5-day, 3-shift operation and another may have been 6-days, with only two shifts on Saturday, for
example. On some of the days, especially on the weekends, some departs may have run, while other
departments were down, so they would not have been "full" production days. It will be very difficult to go back
to determine daily production figures that will be meaningful, for past periods, but I will do my best to see if
there is additional information available from the plant. (I am sure we have current daily figures, but these are
likely not available for the historical periods.) Note: the date format for FY 2000 should be shown as month-99
and month-00 (not month-00 and month-01), but the data is correct.
«Production Numbers2.xls»
I used the figures from the spreadsheet above to generate the spreadsheet that I sent you on October 29, 2002.
Please note that our record -keeping is on a fiscal year basis and our fiscal months contain four or five whole
weeks, depending upon the month. Upon review, I found an error in the original spreadsheet that I sent you,
because I divided the fiscal month totals by calendar month days. I should have divided by fiscal month days,
28 days for a 4-week fiscal month and 35 days for a 5-week fiscal month. The corrected spreadsheet is attached.
The annual totals are unchanged, only re -distributed by month.
«Production Pounds for NPDES Permit Renewal 2002 Corrected 010303.xls»
BY COPY OF THIS EMAIL, I WILL REQUEST OUR PEOPLE TO DETERMINE IF DAILY
PRODUCTION FIGURES ARE AVAILABLE. Marvin, if this information is available, please send it to me to
review and to forward to Joe Corporon, NC Division of Water Quality.
Thanks,
Paul

PART IV - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
This report is being prepared based upon a request for permit
renewal. Guilford Mills operates a textile knitting, printing,
dyeing, and finishing facility. Most products are upholsteries for
the automotive industry. Industrial wastewater and domestic
wastewater are mixed, treated via secondary treatment facilities,
and discharged continuously to the Northeast Cape Fear River
without diffusion.
The facility is not able to meet chronic toxicity requirements
and the permittee is performing an toxicity reduction evaluation.
In addition, Guilford will be entering into an SOC within the near
future concerning the toxicity problem. Operations personnel have
identified surfactants within the knitting yarn that are suspected
of creating toxic conditions as well as oils used for lubrication
which are washed from knitted material. The oils are used to
minimize wear on knitting needles. The company is paying close
attention to (heated) wastewater surface tension as a chronic
toxicity indicator which ranges from approximately 30 to 50
dynes/cm (surface tension for water at 68 Deg F is 72 dynes/cm).

The writer has reviewed 40 CFR, Part 410 to evaluate the
permit effluent limitations. Section 410.50 (knit fabric finishing
subcategory)appears to provide regulatory guidance based upon
information gathered during the site inspection. Upon review of the
current permitted effluent limitations, the production rates listed
within the permit application for years 1998 thru 2000, and
Sections 410.52 for BPT and 410.53 for BAT effluent limitations, it
appears that the current permitted effluent limits exceed those
defined by BPT or BAT requirements except for BOD5. It is
recommended that the permit review engineer review this viewpoint
and modify the effluent limits page, as appropriate, for compliance
with 40 CFR, Part 410. In addition, the wastewater plant contained
foam from surfactants. It may be reasonable to add monitoring ✓
without limits for MBAS in order to gain information over the next
permit cycle. Monitoring frequency and monitoring type (grab versus
composite and effluent, upstream, downstream)appear to be in
accordance with minimum requirements of NCAC 2B.0500 for textile
monitoring.
It is recommended that NPDES Permit No. NC0002305 be modified
as deemed appropriate and released in draft form for public notice.
If no significant public comment is received, it is recommended
that the permit be finalized and reissued to Guilford Mills, Inc.
for a standard term limit defined by the basinwide management
strategy.

Permit NC0002305
Guilford East Plant
Duplin County
Dear Mr. Summers:
The NPDES Unit received your permit renewal application on August 3, 2001. Thank you for submitting
this package.
The permit renewal for this facility has been assigned to Joe Corporon. This staff member will contact you
if further information is needed to complete the permit renewal. Please note that the NPDES Unit has
several vacant positions. This staff shortage has lasted for over a year and is delaying all permit renewals.
Our remaining permit writers are currently reviewing Authorizations to Construct, speculative limit requests,
major permit modifications and 201 plan updates ahead of permit renewals. This is necessary due to a
variety of factors, including mandatory deadlines in the statutes which govern our program.
If this staff shortage delays reissuance of NC0002305 the existing requirements in your permit will remain
in effect until the permit is renewed (or the Division takes other action). We appreciate your patience and
understanding while we operate with a severely depleted staff. If you have any additional questions
concerning renewal of the subject permit, please contact Joe Corporon at [phone], extension 597.

Narrative Description:
Sludge is wasted from the extended aeration activated sludge system as
needed in order to maintain the desired sludge age in the system. Waste sludge
is pumped by the return activated sludge (RAS) pumps to the sludge storage
basins. The smaller sludge storage basins are used to feed sludge onto the
drying beds. The drainage from the drying beds is pumped back to the front end
of the plant. The large sludge basin is used to store sludge in preparation for
removal and land application.
The sludge that is placed on the drying beds is removed when it is dry and
is taken to a composting facility for further processing. Sludge from the large
sludge storage basin is applied to local farm land under a land application permit
by an outside company.

WLA BACKGROUND/HISTORY
First WLA (F. Westall) 11/77
Analysis was done for a 0.5 MGD discharge to the NECFR (class C-SW) with a DA of 310 me and
7Q10=6.5 cfs. Based on a simplistic velocity and decay rate analysis, water quality limits were assigned for
BOD//NHIN of 15/12 (mg/1) with DO=5 mg/l. Other limits were also given - pH=6-9, fecal=1000,
TSS=381/763 #/d. COD=1050/2100 #/d, Cr=0.5/2.0 #/d and limits for phenols and sulfides were assigned at a
non -detect std.
Second WLA (C. Heavener)
2/84
WLA was updated to reflect new BPT guidelines for the textile industry. A water quality limit was
assigned for BOD5=19mg/1. Other limits were based on BPT and given as follows:
COD 4000/8000 #/day
TSS I 1090/2180 #/day
Sulfide 10/20 #/day
Phenols 1 5/10 #/day
Total Cr 4.3 mg/1
pH 6-9 s.u.
DO . 5 m;/1
BPT limits were based on guidelines from 40 CFR 410.52 and 410.53 for production of 100,000 #/day.
DA is changed to 326 me but stream statistics remained unchanged.
Third WLA (C. Heavener) 4/84
WLA was done for an increase in waste flow to 0.965 MGD. The increase caused the water quality
based limit for BODS to be reduced to 11 mg/1 and water quality limit for Cr to 2.26 mg/l. All other limits and
stream flows were renewed unchanged.
Second and third WLAs were based on Level-B models derived from Forest's 1977 WLA.
Fourth WLA (M. Scoville) 3/89
Scoville's WLA was done for a straight renewal with no change in waste flow. Water quality limits for
BODS, DO and pH remained unchanged. Other limits changed as follows to reflect change in federal
guidelines:
COD 1 4750/9500 #/day
TSS 1035/2071 #/day
Sulfide I 9.5/19.0 #/day
Phenols 4.75/9.5 #/day

I
The Cr limit was updated to 0.266 mg/1 (via mass balance) and notes indicate that the previous limit was
not adequate to protect water quality. A chronic toxicity testing requirement was added to the permit with a P/F
@ 19% limit (reflecting IWC) and monitoring for O&G, Zn, and Cu was also added.
WLA was performed for expansion from 0.965 to 1.25 MGD. WLA cover sheet indicated that
production increased from 95,00 .#/day to 500,000 #/day. Water quality based BOD limits were lowered to
reflect no increase in loading to the system from (mon avg/daily max) of 11/16.5 to 8/12 mg/1, and effluent DO
limit was raised to 6.0 mg/1 limits were recommended as follows:

It should be noted that when the permit was issued that the monthly average concentration limit for
BOD, was dropped in favor of a 83.4 #/day mass limit. Daily mass limits were still expressed in mass and conc.
at 125.1 #/day and 12 mg/1.

Draft SOC (M. Williams)
5/96
The Wilmington Regional Office has recently raised the concern that the river channel is extremely
braided at the outfall location and that the discharge is no to the main channel, but rather to a side channel with
little or no flow during drought periods. It has been recommended that toxicant and wet test limits be adjusted
accordingly to account for the amount of flow available to the discharge in the immediate outfall area, or that
the outfall be relocated to the main channel, if such a phenomenon exists. The regional office has drafted an
SOC that with required GM to: 1) Do a flow study, develop a survey transect and "model the flow regime" in
the outfall area by 6/30/97; 2) Determine a coarse of action by 7/31/97; 3) Construct necessary improvements
by 9/30/98; and 4) Achieve compliance by 10/30/98. Exact details of the flow study and required "modeling"
are yet to be determined.
Stream Classification
N.E. Cape Fear River C-SW 9/1/74 (from source to Muddy Creek)
Instream Data
DEM Ambient Data
DEM maintains no ambient station in the vicinity of this discharge.
Self Monitoring Instream Data
GM's instream monitoring data from summer of 1993 shows violations of the 5.0 mg/1 DO std.
However, the upstream station shows more frequent and severe excursions below 5.0 mg/1 than downstream.
The differences may be attributable to the changing hydrology of the stream, from braided swamp to defined
channel, but no significant tribs join the river between the upstream and downstream sites.
The data from summers of 1994 and 1995 shows typical seasonal temperature fluctuations but very little
fluctuation in DO levels from winter to summer. Suspiciously high DO levels (7-9 mg/1) for a swamp system
are often reported. The data is suspect and should not be used to draw any substantive conclusions about the
impact of the discharge.
The data also always shows little or no difference between upstream and downstream conductivity
levels.
Current WLA - Approach/Recommendations
Oxygen Demanding Wastes
Due to the uncertainty of the impact of this discharge on the receiving swamp, past expansions have
been permitted with no increase in loading for oxygen demanding wastes. In the last WLA, the monthly
concentration limit for BOD, was dropped so as not to discourage water conservation measures. Given the
apparent unreliability of the facility's self monitoring instream data, the uncertainty during the past allocations
is as present as ever. The expansion to 1.5 MGD should be permitted with limits reflecting no increase in BOD
load, and the daily max concentration accordingly applied again.
Instream Waste Concentration
This discharge is to a small side channel at the edge of the swamp, rather than to a main channel. The
Division does not currently possess the reconnaissance to determine how far across the swamp the main channel
is or whether or not one even exists.
In a 6/19/96 phone conversation, Mike Williams (Wilmington Regional Office) explained that he had
been to the outfall during low flow conditions, and there was a barely discernable flow reaching the discharge

point. Based on this assessment an IWC of 90% should be assumed until the results of Guilford's flow
study/transect are available. The corresponding permit limits will most likely be superceded by SOC until study
results are available.
The permit should contain a re -opener clause to allow adjustment of all IWC/dilution based limits once
the study is completed and an alternative is chosen by the permittee (see SOC and/or summary in my notes).
WET Test Limits
Past toxicity test has been the std. chronic (Ceriodaphnia) 24 hr quarterly test with a P/F limit of 19%
for 0.965 MGD and 23% for 1.25 MGD. Files show 4/21/95 A to C allowing permittee to construct necessary
facilities to expand to 1.25 MGD, but CMS still shows a flow limit of 0.965 MGD. Facility previously had
problems with toxicity test compliance, failing majority of tests in 1992 and 1993, but has improved
dramatically since, passing last 6 tests in a row and 11 of last 14.
As per above assumption with IWC, WET test limit should be renewed at P/F@ 90% ($0C calls for full
range monitoring). This limit will be adjusted accordingly after study results come in`and-course of action is
chosen.
Individual Toxicants
Limits and monitoring for toxicants should also be assigned according to the assumed IWC=90% and
then adjusted after a final dilution is reached. The existing permit has monitoring for Cu, Zn, and chloride and a
water quality based limit for Cr.
Facility discharges extremely high levels of Cu, as high as 405 mg/1 in the last two years. Cu
monitoring should continue. If facility did not have such a good tox test record recently, these Cu levels would
warrant serious concerns.
Zinc levels consistently exceed allowable load of 56 mg/I, no Zn monitoring should also continence.
Chromium levels also regularly exceed allowable load, so a water quality limit of 56 mg/1 should be
applied. Highest reported value in the last year was 85 mg/1 on 8/9/95.
Sulfide and phenol limits are stipulated in federal effluent guidelines and should be renewed
accordingly.
Chloride monitoring should continue because chlorides are commonly prevalent in textile waste streams.
Reported levels have been as high as 85 mg/l.
Instream Monitoring
Renew as existing. Clarify sites - see fact sheet.
Federal Guideline Limits
Previous guideline limits were based on production rate of 100,000 #/day, but the current production
increase calls for a monthly average production rate of 112,000 #/day and a daily max rate of 120,000 #/day.
The increased rates cause an increase in allowable pollutant loading as calculated by 40 CFR 410.52 (Subpart
E). Due to the uncertainty of this discharge's impact on the receiving swamp system no increase should be
allowed for BOD, COD, or TSS.
Limits for sulfides, phenols and pH should be applied according to the guidelines. However the
guideline limit for Chromium is far less stringent than the limit that would be applied according to NC Water
Quality Stds. The NC Water Quality limit should be used.

Dear Mr. Summers:
Reference is made to the report, entitled Guilford Mills Kenansville Toxicity Study,
submitted June 30, 1997 by John Grey, Jr, P.E. of Grey Engineering, Inc. and to your subsequent
July 28, 1997 meeting with Jason Doll of my staff. The information in the report was found to
be clear, pertinent and very useful, and after thorough review of the evidence presented, Division
staff concur with the recommended alternative of relocating the outfall to the main channel of the
Northeast Cape Fear River.
The Division of Water Quality's (DWQ) chief concern for the potential water quality
impacts of the relocated discharge is in regard to the quality and quantity of fine particulate solids
contained in the discharge. Site visits by our regional office and permitting staff members over
the last several years have revealed that a considerable area of the Goshen Swamp at the existing
discharge site has been adversely impacted by the accumulation of these solids. In addition, the
toxicity study indicates that the whole effluent toxicity problems experienced at the facility may
be related to the solids. The study report states that Guilford Mills has done tests to evaluate the
performance of polymer addition for the reduction of effluent solids and toxicity. DWQ requests
that results of any polymer testing conducted since the study report was produced and/or any
results not enumerated in the report are submitted with the forthcoming NPDES application. The
Division also requests that the application package contain detailed plans of how and when the
facility plans to use polymer addition (or any other methods of solids removal) to mitigate the
adverse impacts of the effluent on the receiving stream.

DWQ supports the concept of enlisting Cogentrix's cooperation in the outfall relocation
project and staff are of the opinion that compliance issues for the combined outfall can be
effectively addressed in the NPDES permitting process. NPDES permit compliance will be
judged at a point prior to mixing of the two effluents, but the Division may require periodic
effluent toxicity monitoring on the combined outfall in order to monitor for possibile synergistic
toxicity. As soon as possible, DWQ plans to collect the necessary samples to conduct a full
range chronic test on the combined effluents, mixed in the proportions projected for the final
outfall, in order to evaluate the potential for additive toxicity interaction. Division staff will be in
contact to make the arrangements for collecting the needed effluent samples and to inform you of
the results of the test.
Please be aware that the permitting strategies outlined here to address the combined outfall
project are preliminary and are not binding unless they are part of a formal NPDES permit, and
that permitting requirements may change upon review of the preliminary WET test outlined
above. My staff and I look forward to working with Guilford Mills through the subsequent
permitting and design process. Be assured that the Division fully understands and appreciates the
difficulty that storms and stream flow changes may pose in the construction of an extended
outfall across the flood plain of a large swamp. Please notify us as soon as possible at any time
that it is felt that inclement conditions may impede your ability to meet the milestone dates for
design and construction stipulated in the current SOC.
Please contact Jason Doll of my staff at [phone], extension 507 if you have any
questions.
Sincerely
Donald L. Safrit, P.E.
