CHRONIC TOXICITY TESTING REQUIREMENT (QRTRLY)
The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit chronic toxicity in any two consecutive toxicity tests,
using test procedures outlined in:
.1.) The North Carolina Ceriodaphnia chronic effluent bioassay procedure (North Carolina Chronic
Bioassay Procedure - Revised *June 1988) or subsequent versions.
The effluent concentration at.which there may be no observable inhibition of reproduction or
significant mortality is 4.5% (defined as treatment two in the North Carolina procedure
document). The permit holder shall perform quarterly monitoring using this procedure to establish
compliance with the permit condition. The first test will be performed after thirty days from
issuance of this permit during the months of inar Jun Sep LAC . Effluent
sampling for this testing shall be performed at the 1LIPDtS 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, DEM Form AT-1 (original) is to be sent to the following address:
Attention: Environmental Sciences Branch
North Carolina Division of
Environmental Management
P.O. Box 27687
Raleigh, N.C. 27611
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 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 any test data from this monitoring requirement or tests performed by the North Carolina
Division of Environmental Management 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 and appropriate environmental controls, shall constitute an invalid test
and will require immediate retesting(within 30 days of initial monitoring event). Failure to submit
suitable test results will constitute noncompliance with monitoring requirements.

Ruth Swanek kCv,
May 3, 1990
SUBJECT: Hoechst Celanese
NPDES No. NC0004952
Buffalo Creek (030835) - Cleveland County
Use of Federal Criteria to Develop Toxics Limits
A set of OCPSF guidelines was used to develop effluent guide-
lines limits for an extensive list of toxicants for the Hoechst
Celanese facility. North Carolina does not have a limit for most
of the toxicants so Federal criteria were used to compare water
quality based limits to the effluent guidelines limits.
Buffalo Creek is classified as C waters at the Hoechst Cela-
nese discharge point. However, the stream classification changes
to WS-III approximately 0.5 miles below the outfall. Therefore,
limits were based on the water supply criteria when appropriate.
Since Lick Creek enters Buffalo Creek just above the stream reclas-
sification point, its flow was accounted for in determining the
appropriate limits. The downstream flow in the mass balance was
determined by adding the flow at the discharge point (7Q10 or QA
depending on whether the limit was based on aquatic life or human
health), the flow from Lick Branch when appropriate, the design
flow of the plant (0.55 MGD = 0.85 cfs) and subtracting the water
withdrawn by Hoechst Celanese from Buffalo Creek. The following
downstream flows were used:
Organism Only
QA = 215 cfs
7Q10 = 19.1 cfs
Water Supply
QA = 218 cfs
7Q10 = 20.6 cfs
It was assumed that all upstream concentrations of each toxicant
were zero. Therefore, the mass balance to determine the water
quality based limit were simplified to:
Cw = (Federal criteria) (Downstream Flow)/(Effluent Flow)
I have attached a copy of my calculations as well as a copy of the
effluent guidelines. I have highlighted those parameters which
were water quality (WQ) limited rather than effluent limited (EL).
Please review the calculations and make any comments to me
within 15 days.
If you have any questions, please call me at extension 507.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Hoechst Celanese WLA File
Buffalo Creek (030805)
FROM: Ruth Swanek l ,
SUBJECT: May, 1990 WLA - Basis of Limits
The initial WLA form for Hoechst Celanese was received by
Technical Support in September, 1989. However, the staff of the
Asheville Regional Office and the Permits and Engineering Unit did
not agree on what waste flow should be used to determine the efflu-
ent guidelines limits. More information was requested of the
company in order to resolve the situation and an updated set of
effluent guidelines was submitted to Technical Support at the end
of April, 1990. This memo describes what information was used to
determine the final recommended permit limits.
BOD
The effluent guidelines limit (71 lb/d monthly average, 172
lb/day daily max) was more stringent than the existing limit (496
lb/day monthly average, 1160 lb/day daily max). In addition, data
collected at ambient station 02.1534.56 located 1.4 miles down-
stream at NC 198 indicated no instream DO problems.
TSS
JOtit A fecal coliform limit was added since 19% of the facility's.
waste is domestic. The dilution ratio was calculated to be 23.5
awhich is less than 67,-the ratio needed to drop a fecal coliform
1illee!e* a J L Dilution = 7Q10 flow/Waste Flow
y G~ + = 20 cfs/(.55 mgd) (1.55 cfs/mgd)
�� 4pLy'~ = 23.5
Toxic fj
f
eipl WS e Permits and Engineering Unit developed an extensive list
61134 f toxicants to receive limits using the OCPSF guidelines. A mass
balance was performed for those parameters which have a state

Fecal Coliform

standard. If the resulting limit was more stringent than the
effluent limit, the water quality limit was assigned. If there was
no standard for a toxic but there was a Federal criteria, a mass
balance was performed using the criteria. Again, the more strin-
ggnt of the resulting water quality limit and effluent guideline
Omit was assigned. When neither a limit nor criteria existed for
a parameter, the effluent guideline limit was assigned.
The stream classification changes from C waters to WS-III
waters 0.5 miles below the discharge point. Therefore, the water
supply standard federal criteria which was applicable to water
supplies was used when the resulting limit would be more stringent.
The flow from Lick Branch was added to the stream flow since this
tributary enters Buffalo Creek just above the reclassification
area for parameters which were based on water supply criteria. For
all parameters, the downstream flow was determined in the mass
balance by adding the stream flow (7Q10 or QA depending on whether
human health or aquatic life based limit) and design waste flow and
subtracting out the water withdrawn by the facility (1.18 MGD).
This is shown in the flow diagram which is included in the waste -
load allocation package. The calculations are also included in
this package.
A toxicity limit was added to the permit based on standard
operating procedures.
MBAS and Oil & Grease Monitoring
The company requested that its MBAS and oil and grease
monitoring requirements be dropped. A mass balance for the MBAS
indicated that the allowable effluent concentration is 11 mg/1, and
the maximum concentration in the effluent from August, 1988 to
July, 1989 was 0.1 mg/1 with an average concentration for the year
of 0.045 mg/1. Therefore, the MBAS monitoring requirement was
dropped.
There is no standard for oil and grease so the effluent data
for August, 1988 to July, 1989 was inspected. The maximum concen-
tration for the year was 11 mg/1 with an average concentration of
4.3 mg/1. These concentrations seemed high enough to warrant some
effluent monitoring, but did not seem like they would have a
detrimental impact instream. Therefore, the monitoring frequency
was reduced from monthly to quarterly.
COD Limit
The COD limit was dropped since the old limits were based on
best professional judgment (BPJ). Since the last WLA was per-
formed, effluent guidelines have been developed for the facility,
and the new guidelines did not include a COD limit.

SUBJECT: Proposed Effluent Limitations
Hoechst Celanese Corporation
NPDES Permit No. NC0004952
Cleveland County
Ann B. Orr
Regional Manager
OCT 3 1989
PERMITS & FNGINFFRUIr,
The Wasteload Allocation Approval Form (request # 5403) for
subject facility proposes limitations which are approximately 8% of
existing limitations for BOD and TSS (BOD: existing, 496 lbs/da;
proposed, 41.3 lbs/da--TSS: existing, 640 lbs/da; proposed, 51.3 lbs/da
). Review of Hoechst Celanese's NPDES Permit application in
conjunction with 42568 "Federal Register" /Vol. 52, 'No. 214/ Thursday,
November 5 1987/, OCPSF Guidelines, suggests that limitations proposed
in Hoechst Celanese's Wasteload Allocation Approval Form are overly
stringent. My calculations of Hoechst Celanese's limitations are as
follows:
BOD
polyester resin, s414.41, (24 ug/1)(0.215 mgd)(8.34) = 43.03 lbw
domestic waste (30 mg/1)(0.105 mgd)(8.34) = 26.27
boiler/water treatment ( 2.4 mg/1)(0.0625 mgd)(8.34) = 1.25
polyester fiber, s414.31, (18 mg/1)(0.075 mgd)(8.34) = 11.26
groundwater remediation L 5.4 mg/1)(0.090 mgd)(8.34) = 4.05
Total (as monthly average) 85.86 lbs

TSS
polyester resin, s414.41, (40 ug/1)(0.215 mgd)(8.34) = 71.7 lbs
domestic waste (30 mg/1)(0.105 mgd)(8.34) = 26.27
boiler/water, ambient data,(53 mg/1)(0.0625 mgd)(8.34) = 27.63
polyester fiber, s414.31, (36 mg/1)(0.075 mgd)(8.34) = 22.52
groundwater remediation ( 2 mg/1)(0.090 mq j (.8.34) = 1.5
Total (as monthly average) 149.62 lbs
s414.91, Toxic pollutant effluent limitations
Acenaphthene was omitted from the list. Limitations appear to have
been based upon a flow of 0.075 mgd; limitations should be based upon a
flow of 0.290 mgd, (0.215 mgd from polyester resin manufacturing plus
0.075 from polyester fiber manufacturing.
Fecal Coliform
Coliform limitations should not be needed; the dilution ratio of stream'
flow/domestic waste is 123/1. 7/10 = 12.93 mgd; domestic flow = 0.105
mgd.
Please compare "Wasteload Allocation Approval Form" with above.

Worksheets - Form 101" is not required because the biocides
used are treated through the wastewater treatment system
(serial # 001) and not directly discharged to the receiving
stream. The wastewater treatment system has in excess of 35
days retention time. The following are the biocides
potentially present in the influent stream to the wastewater

SUBJECT: Hoechst Celanese - Shelby Plant, NPDES Renewal
Application, NPDES # NC0004952
Dear Sirs:
Please find enclosed in triplicate the NPDES permit
application form for the Hoechst Celanese, Shelby Plant,
Cleveland County. Also enclosed is a check for one hundred
and twenty five dollars ($125.00) for the processing fee.
We request in establishing the new permit, that the
analytical reporting requirements for oil and grease and
surfactants be dropped. This request is based on operating
data and at the suggestion of the local State Environmental
Chemist.
As explained in the application, the Hoechst Celanese --t
Shelby Plant manufactures approximately 202 million pounds
per year of polyester resins, which accounts for
approximately 70% of the process wastewater flows for
discharge 001. Close to 85% of this resin is re -processed 0
on -site into fiber, which accounts for the remaining process
flow; roughly 15% of the resin produced (30 million pound,,:;,r.
per year) is sold directly in resin form.
Also, it should_be noted that we expect the detectable
presence of 1 4-dioxane in our influent, and_possib y our_
e-ffluen , based on analytical data at sister locations within
our company. Based on limited data at the Shelby facility,
however, 1,4-dioxane has not been above detectable limits.
Additional analyses are being performed and will be made
available to you shortly.
If you have any questions regarding the application, please
do not hesitate to contact me at [phone], ext. 4359.
