Dear Mr. Bruesch:
Division personnel have reviewed and approved your application for renewal of the subject 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.
The total chromium limits were modified to 4.2 pounds/day [monthly average] and 8.4 pounds/day
[daily maximum]. These limits are based on Federal effluent guidelines. The most recent data
submitted for total chromium was used to reevaluate reasonable potential. More than one year of data
shows there is no reasonable potential to exceed the water quality standard for total chromium.
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 Quality 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.

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:

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.

Reasonable Potential Analysis
Guilford Mills submitted comments requesting a review of the limits for total chromium. The data used
for the reasonable potential included one high data point in 2006. The facility submitted more recent
data for total chromium. Because of that one data point exceeded the allowable water quality standard,
more stringent limits based on water quality standards were implemented. The data submitted in
December 2007 had more than one year of samples results and it was used to reevaluate the
reasonable potential analysis. The results show no reasonable potential to exceed the water quality
standards. The effluent guidelines limits can be implemented for total chromium.

Summary
Guilford Mills operates a textile mill in Kenansville, NC, which manufactures fabrics used primarily in
automobile interiors. Operations include warp knitting, circular knitting and weaving of synthetic fibers
and printing, and dyeing and finishing of knitted and woven synthetic fabrics. The renewal application
included a request for relaxing the BOD limits based on an updated water quality model for the
Northeast Cape Fear River. The current permit was issued on September 1, 2003 with an expiration
date of December 31, 2007. To align the expiration date with the basinwide schedule the new expiration
date will be January 31, 2012.
Water Quality Modeling/BOD limits
The BOD limit in the previous permit was established when the first waste load allocation was done in
1977 based on velocity and decay analysis. A water quality model was not used to establish oxygen
consuming parameters limits. The BOD limit has been carried over in the permit and reduced with
approved expansions. The permittee requested approval to conduct advanced water quality modeling to
determine a BOD level that would protect water quality in the river. The STREAM model was used for
the simulation. Data was collected to calibrate the model. Results of the model indicate that a monthly
average limit of 24 mg/I will maintain the stream D.O. standard of 5 mg/I for the summer and 30 mg/I will
protect for the winter. The limit of 24 mg/I is equivalent to 300 pounds/day. The existing monthly average

NPDES Permit Fact Sheet Guilford Mills Inc. NC0002305
Page 2
limit is 84.4 pounds/day which is equivalent to 6.6 mg/I. The existing permit does not have a monthly
average concentration limit, only a daily maximum limit of 10 mg/I. The Modeling and TMDL Unit
reviewed and approved the model submitted by Guilford Mills.
Basin Plan / 303(d)
The section of the Northeast Cape Fear River where Guilford Mills discharges is listed as not rated in
the 2005 Cape Fear River Basinwide plan and is not listed as impaired in the North Carolina 303(d) list.
The basin plan noted that Guilford Mills had violations of permit limits and whole effluent toxicity during
the assessment period. Guilford Mills completed a Toxicity Evaluation and determined that polymers
used at the plant were the possible source of toxicity. After implementing the use of a different polymer
and completing a project for improvements to the WWTP, WET failures were reduced. See Data
Review below for a summary of compliance with WET and permit parameters.
Permit Development
Existing limits for COD, TSS, Sulfide, Phenol and Total Chromium are based in effluent guidelines for
textile mills. BOD, pH and total residual chlorine are water quality based and Oil and Grease is based
on Best Professional Judgment. Existing limits are shown in Table I.

Effluent Guidelines - The applicable effluent guideline for this facility is 40 CFR 410 Subpart E. This part
applies to discharges of process wastewater from textile mills that finish knit fabrics. Guilford Mills
finishes woven fabrics that come from off -site but is less than 5 % of the total production. Only the limits
for knit finishing were applied. An average of 83,930 pounds per day was used to calculate effluent
guidelines limits. This figure represents the average production for the past three years. The allowable
loads as calculated from effluent guidelines are shown in Table II.

A Notice of violation was issued to the facility for a daily maximum fecal coliform violation on June 2005.
Monitoring for MBAS was included in the last permit due to concern with surfactants. There is no water
quality standard for MBAS for C waters. Monitoring was reduced to quarterly.
Priority Pollutant Analysis — A requirement to perform annual PPA was included in the last permit
because data was not included with the application. No pollutants were detected above allowable
concentrations. The requirement to do an annual PPA was eliminated from the permit.
Reasonable Potential Analysis — Reasonable potential was performed for chloride, total copper and
total chromium.

The allowable concentrations for total chromium based on the water quality standards are 0.19 mg/I
(chronic) and 1.02 mg/I (acute). The limit in the permit is based on the effluent guidelines. The water
quality chronic allowable concentration is more stringent than the effluent guideline limit of 4.2 lb/day or
0.3 mg/I. The water quality allowable concentration will be implemented as a weekly average. The
water quality acute value is not more stringent than the effluent guideline limit of 8.5 Ib/d or 0.7 mg/I,
therefore the effluent guideline limit will be applied as a daily maximum.
Whole Effluent Toxicity - Guilford Mills reported toxicity failures in July and September 2004. They have
passed all the toxicity tests since September 2004. Prior to 2004 the facility experienced multiple
toxicity failures. A Toxicity Identification Evaluation was completed and changes were implemented in
the treatment process. In addition Guilford Mills completed an upgrade of the treatment system
including the increase in aeration capacity, sludge thickener, sludge digester, chemical coagulant and
polymer flocculants addition and a tertiary clarifier. These improvements have helped the facility
maintain compliance with the permit limits.
Instream Monitoring - The Lower Cape Fear Monitoring Association monitors one station upstream of
the discharge in Goshen Swamp and one downstream in the Northeast Cape Fear River. Both stations
show depressed oxygen during summer months. The station on Goshen Swamp reported lower
dissolved oxygen values than the one downstream. Guilford Mills also monitors at the same locations.
Data collected by the facility is similar to the ambient monitoring stations.

PART V - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The Guilford Mills WWTF appears to have remedied earlier issues with aquatic toxicity by
reconfiguring the originally constructed structures and modifying operational procedures. The
activated sludge basin is operated to maintain a 30-day sludge age; this is accomplished by
continuous sludge wasting based on the influent flow rate. The over -addition of settling aids
(coagulants, flocculants) was believed to have caused negative impacts on aquatic toxicity testing in
the past. The distribution of mixed liquor to the 2 secondary clarifiers and 1 tertiary clarifier, as well
as RAS and WAS operational practices has been a key to eliminating these toxicity issues.
The Wilmington Regional Office recommends reissuance of Permit No. NC0002305 in accordance
with the Cape Fear River Basin Plan permitting strategy and provided no significant adverse public
comment is received

Subject: Comment on NPDES Draft Permit
Guilford Mills, Inc., Guilford East Plant, NPDES Permit No. NC0002305
Dear Ms. Rodriguez:
By this letter we respectfully request that the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) re -calculate the chromium limit in
the draft permit. Because of a single value in DWQ's database, that we believe is a statistical "outlier", the limit
for chromium has been decreased from 4.2 lb/day to 2.4 lb/day (basically cutting our allowed concentration from
0.34 mg/L to 0.19 mg/L at 1.5 MGD).
A chromium value of 6.2 lb/day on 9/13/06 was reported on our discharge monthly report (DMR), due to a sample
analysis of 0.748 mg/L received from our laboratory. We did not contest the value at the time because it was in
compliance with our permit limits and we did not anticipate the future impact of allowing this erroneous value to
be entered into DWQ's database. The figure in question is 16 times the next highest value of 0.377 lb/day and over
100 times the average value (removing the outlier and replacing with a normal value) of 147 samples collected
over a 3-year period from 1 / 1 /04 through 12/31/06.
We understand that the new limit was calculated using a 'reasonable potential analysis", but we believe the outlier
should be removed from the database before making this analysis. The attached chart graphically illustrates the
point.
If you have any questions or need additional information, please call me at [phone].

Hi Teresa,
Thank you for calling to ask me to re -check the 27,977 pounds per day production quantity on page 2 of 4 of Form 2C
of our NPDES permit renewal application dated June 29, 2007. You indicated that we had used a figure of 84,000
pounds per day on the last application.
The correct production figure should be 83,930 pounds per day. This is the daily average for the most recent
3-year period, as shown below. I will mail the attached letter with a corrected page of the application to confirm this
correction. I pulled my notes and apparently I divided the 3-year total by three then mistakenly divided by three again
because the correct number is exactly 3 times the erroneous figure.
Year Production (pounds)
2004 32,864,060
2005 30,308,071
2006 28,730,943
Total 91,903,074
Annual Average 30,634,358
Daily Average 83,930
Regarding your question about the quantities of knitted vs. woven fabrics that we produce: knitted fabric represents the
overwhelming majority of production. The amount of woven fabric produced is insignificant, and the small amount that
we may process is processed in virtually the same manner as the knitted fabric. We believe you are justified to use the
knit fabric category found in the CFR.

Subject: Application for Renewal of:
NPDES Permit No. NC0002305
Guilford Mills, Inc. -Guilford East Plant
Duplin County, North Carolina
Dear Mr. Vinzani:
date: June 29, 2007
JUL 5 0317
Enclosed please find three (3) copies of a competed application for renewal of subject NPDES permit. The
application consists of EPA Forms 3510-1, 3510-2C and attachments as noted on the forms. As required, this
application is being submitted at least 180 days prior to the December 31, 2007 expiration date.
Also enclosed is a report of Water Quality Modeling of the Cape Fear River prepared for Guilford for submittal to
DWQ by Dr. Wu Seng Lung and Dr. Gilbert O'Neal. As justified by the conclusions of this report, Guilford is
requesting revised BOD5 limits that are appropriate to the assimilative capacity of the stream. To ensure that final
study report that would meet DWQ requirements, we met with DWQ representatives on December 13, 2006 to
review a preliminary report and to discuss any additional information that might be needed. Following that
meeting additional study work was completed as reflected in the final report.
The report demonstrates that Guilford Mills has completed extensive modeling work to determine the impact of its
discharge on downstream dissolved oxygen (DO) concentrations. It can be concluded that the stream DO standard
of 5 mg/L is not expected to be compromised at BOD5 concentration limits significantly higher than the current
permit limit of 10 mg/L. DO conditions downstream of the discharge point generally remained at or above the
upstream DO concentration. Compliance with of the current limit results in significant operating costs and
adversely affects the competitiveness of Guilford Mills. Thus, an increase in the effluent BOD5 limit is being
requested.
Under average flow and winter low flow conditions, a CBOD5 limit of 30 mg/L, with or without nitrification, is not
expected to impact stream DO standards. Under summer low flow conditions and a maximum effluent flow of 1.5
mgd, an effluent CBOD5 limit of 24 mg/L is predicted to maintain stream DO standards or upstream standards with
nitrification included in the model.

Mr. Gil Vinzani
June 29, 2007
Page 2
Based on the results of the modeling results presented in this report, Guilford Mills requests seasonal CBOD5
discharge limits of 24 mg/L and 30 mg/L for summer and winter flow conditions, respectively. These limits are
predicted to maintain a stream DO standard of 5.0 mg/L and will allow significant operational cost savings for the
Guilford Mills WWTP.
If you have any questions or need additional information, please call me at [phone].

Paul R. Bruesch, P.E.

EPA I.D. NUMBER (copy from Item 1 of Form 1) OUTFALL NUMBER
NC0002305 001
PART C - If you are a primary industry and this outfall contains process wastewater, refer to Table 2c-2 in the instructions to determine which of the GC/MS fractions you must test for. Mark "X" in column 2-a for all such GC/MS
fractions that apply to your industry and for ALL toxic metals, cyanides, and total phenols. If you are not required to mark column 2-a (secondary industries, nonprocess wastewater outtalk, and nonrequired GC/MS
fractions), mark "X- in column 2-b for each pollutant you know or have reason to believe is present. Mark *X" in column 2-c for each pollutant you believe is absent If you mark column 2a for any pollutant, you must
provide the results of at least one analysis for that pollutant. If you mark column 2b for any pollutant, you must provide the results of at least one analysis for that pollutant if you know or have reason to believe it will be
discharged in concentrations of 10 ppb or greater. If you mark column 2b for acrolein, acrylonitrile, 2,4 dinitrophenol, or 2-methyl-4, 6 dinitrophenol, you must provide the results of at least one analysis for each of these
pollutants which you know or have reason to believe that you discharge in concentrations of 100 ppb or greater. Otherwise, for pollutants for which you mark column 2b, you must either submit at least one analysis or
briefly describe the reasons the pollutant is expected to be discharged. Note that there are 7 pages to this part; please review each carefully. Complete one table (all 7 pages) for each outfall. See instructions for
additional details and requirements.
