3) Description of Discharge
d) Volume of Discharge
1) Boiler is used to supply stream to two dry kilns. It is manually blown down
once per day for eight seconds. Maximum volume of discharge is estimated
to be 35-gallons. The boiler is not operated unless the kilns are operating.
2) Two dry kilns are typically charged and operated ten times per year. The
batch cycle is typically 7 days. The kilns occasionally produce condensate
when softwood is dried. The condensate from both kilns discharges to the
ground surface. The condensate is most likely to occur at the beginning of the
batch cycle. Condensate volume estimate is 1 — 10-gallons/hour worst. case
maximum.
4) Corrosion Inhibitors
Material Safety Data Sheets for the four corrosion inhibitors used. by Shaver are
included in attachment A. The chemicals used are manufactured by Anderson
Chemical company, Inc. of Macon, Georgia.
ANCO-OX 1040
ANCOTREAT 1190
ANCOTREAT 1200
ANCOSTREAM 2000
According to Anderson Chemical Company, Inc., the ANCOSTREAM 2000 is a
steam corrosion inhibitor. The active ingredient in the chemical (morpholine)
should be volatized in the boiler and should not be present in the blow down in
significant quantities.
7) Discharge Frequency
a) i) Boiler -eight second manual blowdown every 24 hours which typically occurs
approximately 70 times per year
Dry kilns -discharge presence dependent on type of wood dried
b) Boiler -eight second manual blowdown every 24 hours which typically occurs
approximately 70 times per year
Dry kilns -discharge presence dependent on type of wood dried

14) Alternatives to Direct Discharge
a) Connection to a Regional Sewer Collection System
The sanitary sewer system from the Town of Cleveland does not extend to the
site. Should sanitary sewer become available, connection to the system may be
possible with appropriate notification and permitting.
b) Subsurface disposal (including nitrification field, infiltration gallery, injection
wells, spray irrigation, etc.)
The office building on site is currently the only building served by a subsurface
disposal system treating sanitary waste. Connecting the boiler blow down and
kiln condensate to the existing subsurface system would be difficult due to the
piping distances required and heavy vehicular and equipment traffic on the site.
The boiler blowdown and kiln condensate currently discharge to the ground
surface. Due to the relatively flat nature of the site, the wastewaters typically
infiltrate the ground surface. It is possible during a rain event that the
wastewaters could be conveyed by sheet flow to a drainage swale in the western
portion of the site. The swale intersects an intermittent stream in the wooded
area west of the site.

5. Directions to site: From the jct. of Knox Farm Road and Hwy. 70 (Statesville Boulevard)
in western Rowan County, travel east on Hwy. 70 1.4 miles. Shaver Wood Products
will be located on the left side of Hwy. 70.

7. Site size and expansion area consistent with application: Yes. There is ample are for
WWTP construction, if necessary.
8. Topography (relationship to flood plain included): The site is relatively flat and is far
removed from any flood plain.
9. Location of nearest dwelling: Approx. 500± feet from the point of discharge.

10. Receiving stream or affected surface waters: UT to Fourth Creek
a. Classification: C
b. River Basin and Subbasin No.: Yadkin 030706
c. Describe receiving stream features and pertinent downstream uses: The nearest
water body is several hundred feet from where the boiler blow down and kiln
condensate discharges. Based on the amount of discharge produced from the
boiler and kiln, it is highly unlikely that either discharge will ever reach the
receiving stream, even during periods of heavy rainfall. There are no known
downstream users.
PART II - DESCRIPTION OF DISCHARGE AND TREATMENT WORKS
1. a. Volume of wastewater: 35 gpd (Design Capacity)
b. What is the current permitted capacity: N/A
c. Actual treatment capacity of current facility (current design capacity): 35 gpd.
d. Date(s) and construction activities allowed by previous ATCs issued in the
previous two years: There have been no ATCs issued to this facility in the past
two years.
e. Description of existing or substantially constructed WWT facilities: There are no
existing WWT facilities
f. Description of proposed WWT facilities: There are no WWT facilities proposed at
this time.
g•
Possible toxic impacts to surface waters: There are no toxic impacts expected as
it is extremely unlikely that neither discharge will ever reach surface waters.
Corrosion inhibitors are added to the boiler blow down waste stream.
h. Pretreatment Program (POTWs only): Not Needed.
2. Residual handling and utilization/disposal scheme: There are no residuals generated.
3. Treatment plant classification: N/A
4. SIC Code(s):

PART III - OTHER PERTINENT INFORMATION
1. Is this facility being constructed with Construction Grant Funds or are any public monies
involved (municipals only)? No public monies were used in the construction of this
facility.

Page Three
2. Special monitoring or limitations (including toxicity) requests: Based on observations
made during the site investigation, monitoring of the condensate from the wood drying
process should not be a requirement of the renewed permit. There is no evidence to
suggest that any contaminants would be expected to bei found in the kiln condensate
should any condensate be generated. Secondly, The amount of condensate water will
likely never amount to more than a gallon or two based on current production. And
lastly, it would be physically impossible for the condensate water to reach surface waters
given the distance between the point of discharge and the nearest receiving waters. For
these reason, monitoring of the condensate outfall should not be included in the permit.
3. Important SOC/JOC or Compliance Schedule dates: N/A
4. Alternative analysis evaluation
a. Spray Irrigation: There is sufficient area available for surface irrigation, however,
it would be cost prohibitive given the small amount of wastewater generated to
construct a surface irrigation treatment system.
b. Connect to regional sewer system: None presently available to the site.
c. Subsurface: The applicant has the option of discharging the boiler blow down and
kiln condensate wastewater into a subsurface treatment system.
d. Other disposal options: None that we are aware.
PART IV - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The applicant requests renewal of the subject permit for the discharge of boiler blow
down and kiln condensate wastewater. Given the proximity of the receiving waters to the
existing points of discharge, there is little, if any chance that any wastewater generated at this
facility will ever reach surface waters, even during periods of heavy rainfall. All wastewater
produced at this facility is discharged onto the ground and is absorbed with a few feet from
where the discharge occurs. Storm water outfalls are covered under a separate NPDES permit
NCG210352.
Pending a final technical review by the NPDES Unit, it is recommended that the subject
General Permit be renewed.
