SUPPLEMENT TO EFFLUENT LIMITATIONS
AND MONITORING REQUIREMENTS
SPECIAL CONDITIONS
A. (5). ACUTE TOXICITY PERMIT LIMIT (QUARTERLY)
The permittee shall conduct acute toxicity tests on a quarterly basis using protocols defined as definitive in EPA
Document EPA/600/4-90/027 entitled "Methods for Measuring the Acute Toxicity of Effluents to Freshwater and
Marine Organisms." The monitoring shall be performed as a Fathead Minnow (Pimephales promelas) 24 hour static
test. The LC50 of this effluent using the previously stated methodology may at no time in any toxicity test be less
than 90%. Effluent samples for self -monitoring purposes must be obtained during representative effluent discharge
below all waste treatment. The tests will be performed during the months of January, April, July and October.
The parameter code for this test is TAE6C. 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
appropriate parameter code. Additionally, DWQ Form AT-1 (original) is to be sent to the following address:
Attention: Environmental Sciences Branch

Water Quality
4401 Reedy Creek Road
Raleigh, N.C. 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 either these monitoring requirements 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 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.
A. (6) POLLUTANT ANALYSIS CONDITION
The Permittee shall conduct a test for pollutants annually at the effluent from the treatment plant. The discharge shall
be evaluated as follows:
1) A pollutant analysis of the effluent must be completed annually using EPA approved methods for the following
analytic fractions:
(a) purgeables (i.e., volatile organic compounds);
(b) acid extractables;
(c) base/neutral extractables;
Corning Incorporated
Permit No. NC0086169
SUPPLEMENT TO EFFLUENT LIMITATIONS
AND MONITORING REQUIREMENTS
SPECIAL CONDITIONS (Continued)
(d) organochlorine pesticides and PCBs;
(e) herbicides; and
(f) metals and other inorganics.

describes the sampling and analysis requirements and lists chemicals to be included in the pollutant analysis. This
monitoring requirement is to be referred to as the "Annual Pollutant Analysis Monitoring Requirement" (APAM).
2) Other significant levels of organic chemicals must be identified and approximately quantified. For the purpose
of implementing this requirement, the largest 10 GC/MS peaks in the purgeable, base/neutral extractable, and
acid exractable fractions (or fewer than 10 if less than 10 unidentified peaks occur) for chemicals other than
those specified on the APA Requirement Reporting Form A should be identified and approximately quantified as
stated in the APAM Reporting Form A instructions. This part (item 2) of the APAM requirement is to be
referred to as the "10 significant peaks rule").
A. (7) CHRONIC TOXICITY PASS/FAIL PERMIT LIMIT (QUARTERLY)
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
0.31 % (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 January, April, July and October. Effluent sampling for this testing shall be performed at the NPDES
permitted final effluent discharge below all treatment processes.

MEMORANDUM
To: File
From: Mark McIntire
Subject: Corning Permit Modification
Corning's Concord Plant
NPDES Permit Number NC0086169
Corning has requested two permit modifications to their NPDES permit issued in November 1997. Specifically, they
have requested an extension from June 30, 1998 to October 31, 1998 for the inclusion of all wastewater into outfall
005. Additionally, they have requested that after the 313' of October, they be authorized to continue discharge
humidification boiler blowdown through outfall 002. The time extension has been granted without additional changes.
Regarding the discharge of boiler blowdown through 002, because the receiving stream for this outfall is essentially a
zero flow water body, and in light of the presence of biocides in the blowdown, a chronic toxicity testing condition has
been included on a quarterly basis.

Subject: Request to move Humidification Boiler Blowdown to Outfall 002
Dear Mr. McIntire:
CORNING
I have talked to Jon Wills, the person who did the calculations showing the percentage of
our discharge that our humidification boiler contributes. Our request to move this discharge to
our stormwater outfall is based on two facts. The flow volume is very insignificant compared to
our total discharge volume and the geographical location of our boiler in the plant is such that
added equipment is needed to pump the condensate to our lift station. A stormwater outfall is .
located in the vicinity. This change would save Corning tens of thousands of dollars. Below is a
summary of the flow data. Attached is an analysis of the Betz chemicals in the stream for your
records.
There was an error in .the earlier data that Christy sent. Mr. Wills did not take into
account the non -contact cooling tower blowdown in.his calculation. He thought that our 27,400
gpd flow limit included the tower blowdown, but it does not. That is more favorable for our
analysis. I apologize for the change in the data, due to the situation here at the time, some things
were done more hastily than they should havebeen.

DESCRIPTION AND USE
CORTROL0 15104 is a concentrated, alkal le, liquid
sulfite product which is designed to control oxygen
corrosion in boilers and closed hot water systems.
• I
Dissolved oxygen is a constant threat to the integrity
of a feedwater system, an economizer, and internal
boiler and condensate system surfaces. Ejen minor
concentrations of dissolved oxygen can cause severe
pitting corrosion. Because of its highly !localized
nature. pitting attack, caused by dissolve�t oxygen,
can result in rapid failure of feedwater lines, econo-
mizers. boiler tubes, and condensate return lines.
CORTROL 15104 controls corrosion. by reacting with
and removing any dissolved oxygen present in the
feedwater or boiler water. In addition, it -creates a
reducing environment in the boiler that promotes the
formation of a protective Trion oxide film.
CORTROL 18104 may also be Used to control oxygen
corrosion in closed hot water systems where an oxy-
gen scavenger program Is indicated.
TREATMENT AND FEEDING REQUIREMENTS
CORTROL IS104 may be fed neat or diluted with
deaerated feedwater or condensate to a convenient
strength. Dilute feed solutions (`day tanks") of this
product should be made down on a daily basis to
avoid excessive depletion of product activ.s through
atmospheric contact. The feed solution ' can be fur-
ther protected by fitting day tanks with a plastic

DESCRIPTION AND USE
OPTIGUARD MCP801 1i a unique liquid blend of an
oxygen scavenger, internal, and condensate tr t-
ment. It provides a comp'ate boiler system treatm nt
in a single, easily fed, liquid product.
OPTIGUARD MCP601 contains sodium sulfite
control dissolved oxygen corrosion in the' prebo
and boiler systems. Even with an effective deaeraF
heater, sufficient dissolved oxygen can remain In
feedwater to cause serous corrosion damage,
high temperatures, oxyluan causes pitting, whic
dangerous because of ita stationary, highly local'
nature. if a day tank is u 3ed, the tank should be
ered for best scavenging results.
OPTIGUARD MCP601 also contains a unique bl
of polymeric dispersants end an organic sequeste
agent for control of soala formation on internal b,
surfaces. It provides a complete internal'treat
program that is highly effective In preventing the
mation of both hardness and metal oxide deposits

distortion of the crystal lattice. Second, alteration of
-the surface -change of.suspended particles prevents_ _.._
their attachment to other particles and to boiler sur-
faces. The result is a cblloidal suspension -of 5mait
particles which are readily removed by blowdown. In
addition, the organic sequestering agent has the abili-
ty to solubilize cationic contaminants, such as calci-
um and magnesium. These are removed in soluble
form in the blowdown.
OPTIGUARD MCP601 contains a blend of neutral-
izing amines with selected stability and volatility char-
acteristics. When fed to the boiler, the amines rapidly
volatilize with the steam and prevent corrosion by
neutralizing carbonic acid in the condensate. The
unique characteristics of this amine blend provide
controlled protection at points of Initial condensation
and in extended areas of complex condensate sys-
tems. This reduces corrosion of both iron and copper
surfaces, which extends equipment life and Increases
the efficiency of heat exchange equipment, The
return of corrosion products to the boiler is also
reduced, significantly reducing the potential for scale
formation.
OPTIGUARD MC13601 is approved for use in FDA -or
USDA -regulated plants where steam is used for ster-
ilization or contacts food or food products. 1t is not
approved for use in systems where the steam con-
tacts milk or milk products.
TREATMENT AND FEEDING REQUIREMENTS
Proper treatment levels for OPTIGUARD MCP601
depend on many factors particular to a given installa-
tion. The product should be used in accordance with
control procedures that BetzDearbom establishes for
a specific application.

Dear Mr. McIntire:

CORNING
As we had discussed, we will not begin operation of the force main to Outfall 003 until later than
indicated in our NPDES Permit Application. Our current permit allows us to discharge non -
contact cooling water to Outfall 001 until June 30, 1998. We had anticipated the force main
being operational at that time.
We have updated our Plant start-up schedule based on the most current business conditions. This
new schedule allows for start-up of the force main and discharge to Outfall 003 by the end of
October 1998.
We are hereby requesting an extension of the period during which we can discharge non -contact
cooling water to Outfall 001. Please extend the June 30, 1998 date to October 30, 1998.
Enclosed is a check in the amount of $100.00 for this change to our permit.
Thank -you for your assistance. If you require additional information, please contact me.
Sincerely,
