A. (6.) POLLUTANT ANALYSIS CONDITION
The Permittee shall conduct a test for pollutants once per permit cycle at the effluent from the treatment plant. The discharge shall be
evaluated as follows:
1) A pollutant analysis of the effluent must be completed using EPA approved methods for the following analytic fractions:
(a) purgeables (i.e., volatile organic compounds);
(b) acid extractables;
(c) base/neutral extractables;
(d) organochlorine pesticides and PCBs;
(e) herbicides; and
(f) metals and other inorganics.
The Annual Pollutant Analysis Monitoring (APAM) Requirement Reporting Form A and accompanying memo 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 "Pollutant Analysis Monitoring Requirement" (PAM).
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.) Biological Monitoring Condition
After completion of the expansion to 0.142 MGD, the Permittee shall conduct an upstream and downstream benthic
macroinvertebrate survey. This survey should be conducted between the months of June and September. A report of the
findings of this survey shall be completed and included with the permit application package at the time of permit renewal.

drainage structures, drainage areas for each outfall and activities occurring in the drainage area, building
locations and impervious surfaces, the percentage of each drainage area that is impervious. For each outfall,
a narrative description of the potential pollutants which could be expected to be present in the regulated
stormwater discharge.
(4) A list of significant spills or leaks of pollutants that have occurred at the facility during the 3 previous years
and any corrective actions taken to mitigate spill impacts.
(5) Certification that the stormwater outfalls have been evaluated for the presence of non-stormwater
discharges. The certification statement will be signed in accordance with the requirements found in Part
III, Standard Conditions, Section B.11.
b. Stormwater Management Plan: The stormwater management plan shall contain a narrative description of the
materials management practices employed which control or minimize the exposure of significant materials to
stormwater, including structural and non-structural measures. The stormwater management plan, at a minimum,
shall incorporate the following:
(1) A study addressing the technical and economic feasibility of changing the methods of operations and/or
storage practices to eliminate or reduce exposure of materials and processes to stormwater. Wherever
practicable the permittee should consider covering storage areas, material handling operations,
manufacturing or fueling operations to prevent materials exposure to stormwater. In areas where
elimination of exposure is not practicable, the stormwater management plan shall document the feasibility
of diverting the stormwater runoff away from areas of potential contamination.
(2) A schedule to provide secondary containment for bulk storage of liquid materials, storage of Section 313 of
Title III of the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA) water priority chemicals, or
storage of hazardous materials to prevent leaks and spills from contaminating stormwater runoff. If the
secondary containment devices are connected directly to stormwater conveyance systems, the connection
shall be controlled by manually activated valves or other similar devices [which shall be secured with a
locking mechanism] and any stormwater that accumulates in the containment area shall be at a minimum
visually observed prior to release of the accumulated stormwater. Accumulated stormwater shall be
released if found to be uncontaminated. Records documenting the individual making the observation, the
description of the accumulated stormwater and the date and time of the release shall be kept for a period of
five years.
(3)
A narrative description of Best Management Practices (BMPs) to be considered such as, but not limited to,
oil and grease separation, debris control, vegetative filter strips, infiltration and stormwater detention or
retention, where necessary. The need for structural BMPs shall be based on the assessment of potential of
sources contributing significant quantities of pollutants to stormwater discharges and data collected through
monitoring of stormwater discharges.
(4) Inspection schedules of stormwater conveyances and controls and measures to be taken to limit or prevent
erosion associated with the stormwater systems.

Permit NC0086169
c. Spill Prevention and Response Plan: The Spill Prevention and Response Plan shall incorporate a risk assessment of
potential pollutant sources based on a materials inventory of the facility. Facility personnel (or team) responsible for
implementing the plan shall be identified in the plan. A responsible person shall be on -site at all times during

Draft Permit Modification Comments
Dear Mr. Myers:
CORNur phone conversation, May 23, 2001, we have reviewed the subject draft permit
°'u°"'""tri iafffi"'artion. The comments I provided over the phone are presented below.
ijo
ef
1) The permit expires October 31, 2003. Biological monitoring is required between June
and September 2004. These results are to be included in the permit renewal package.
Please revise these dates. (We completed a biological monitoring in 1999.)
2) A pollutant analysis is required once during the permit cycle. We have just completed
this analysis this spring. We also completed one in 2000. With the permit cycle ending
in 2003, can we be covered by the 2001 analysis until the next permit cycle (> 2003)?
In addition, with the Concord II non -contact cooling water system coming on line, we
need to increase the volume of non -contact cooling water we need to discharge to Outfall
002 during annual shutdown as described in Section A.(9) of the draft permit. Annual
maintenance will require the flushing of two cooling tower basins instead of the original
one. This will increase the volume of water to 250,000 gallons. The basins will not be
flushed at the same time and the procedures described in Section A.(9) will be followed
for both basins. — 5 . C , 4(.7) is d,,f.'.o1 ► — a.LiLj

SUMMARY OF FACILITY AND WASTELOAD ALLOCATION
Corning Incorporated manufactures optical fibers at its Midland facility in Cabarrus County. The facility
originally received its National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit in 1998.
Startup began late that year. The facility was issued a renewed NPDES permit on April 14, 2001, which
included an expanded flow to 0.107 MGD. On December 19, 2000, the Division of Water Quality
received a request for modification to the NPDES Permit, specifically, the facility requested a flow
expansion from 0.107 MGD to 0.142 MGD.
Wastewater generated includes sanitary wastewater, non -contact cooling wastewater, process wastewater,
stormwater, filter backwash water and boiler blowdown. Currently, sanitary wastewater is treated off -site
at the Muddy Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant. Wastewaters other than sanitary are treated and
discharge through one of three outfalls as summarized below.
Outfall 001
This discharge is comprised of 100% stormwater, collected in a stormwater detention pond. The
receiving stream is an unnamed tributary of Muddy Creek. Currently, no effluent limitations and
monitoring page is contained within the permit for this outfall, though stormwater controls are required.
Special Condition A. (6.) of the permit addresses stormwater discharges and applicable monitoring
requirements. This proposed modification would have no effect on the requirements for this outfall.
Outfall 002
This discharge is comprised of stormwater and humidification boiler blowdown. Wastewater is collected
in a stormwater detention pond prior to discharge into an unnamed tributary of Clear Creek. Effluent
limitations and monitoring have been applied and stormwater controls are required (Special condition A.
(6.) of the permit addresses stormwater discharges and applicable monitoring requirements). The
proposed modification will have no effect on the permit for this discharge.
Coming Fact Sheet
NPDES Renewal
Page 1

Outfall 003
This discharge is comprised of industrial process wastewater, non -contact cooling water, and carbon filter
backwash water. These wastewaters are neutralized and treated using a solids removal unit prior
discharge into the Rocky River. This proposal will increase industrial process and carbon filter backwash
wastewater flow to 0.142 MGD and total flow to 0.334 MGD (per application).
Note, from the above discussion, non -contact cooling water enters outfall 003 effluent line after the
treatment facility. Under this proposal, approximately 192,000 gallons per day (gpd) of non -contact
cooling water will be commingled with the process wastewater prior to discharge. The 0.142 MGD flow
limit shall apply to the process wastewater and instream waste concentration used to determine the
toxicity limit is based on the total flow (process + non -contact cooling water) discharged.
The flow limit of 0.142 MGD, includes sum of the industrial process wastewater and the carbon filter
backwash wastewater therefore, the compliance point for flow is upstream of the point at which non -
contact cooling water is introduced. Though the flow limit includes only industrial process wastewater
and carbon filter backwash wastewater, the toxicity testing limit has been established using an IWC
calculation using the entire anticipated flow from outfall 003 (about 334,000 gpd).
According to the priority pollutant analysis, the effluent discharged by the facility may contain
chloroform, aluminum, arsenic, cadmium, chromium, copper, nickel, selenium, zinc, chloride and
fluoride. The primary parameters of concern from outfall 003 (as indicated in Table 1) are chloride,
cadmium, copper and zinc. These parameters are discussed below.
Based on the Division's analysis this discharge does not pose a reasonable potential to cause an
exceedence of the North Carolina's Chronic Aquatic Life Action Level Standard for chloride. However,
the maximum predicted concentration using self -monitoring data is greater than the Criteria Maximum
Concentration (CMC). A numerical limit is not included since chloride is an action level water quality
standard and biomonitoring requirements are adequate to control toxicity due to chloride.
Based on the Division's analysis this discharge does not pose a reasonable potential to cause an
exceedence of the North Carolina's Chronic Aquatic Life Standard for cadmium. However, the
maximum predicted concentration using the reported value in the annual pollutant analysis monitoring
report is greater than the CMC. This analysis is based on one data point and an assumed coefficient of
variation of 0.6. Though no limit is proposed a monitoring requirement has been added in order to gather
sufficient data to evaluate this discharge.
Based on the Division's analysis this discharge does not pose a reasonable potential to cause an
exceedence of the North Carolina's Chronic Aquatic Life Action Level Standard for copper. However,
the maximum predicted concentration and the result in the annual pollutant analysis monitoring report are
greater than the CMC. Numerical limits for copper are not being included since copper is an action level
water quality standard and the biomonitoring requirements are adequate to control toxicity due to the
presence of copper in the facility effluent. The permittee may request that the Division reevaluate the
monitoring requirement after seven data points have been collected over seven months.
Based on the Division's analysis this discharge does pose a reasonable potential to cause an exceedence
of the North Carolina's Chronic Aquatic Life Action Level Standard for zinc. Numerical limits for zinc
are not being included since zinc is an action level water quality standard and the biomonitoring
requirements are adequate to control toxicity due to the presence of zinc in the facility effluent. Though
no limit is proposed, if the facility experiences chronic toxicity violations the discharge will be re-
evaluated according to the Division's Action Level Policy. The permittee may request that the Division
reevaluate the monitoring requirement after seven data points have been collected over seven months.

TOXICITY TESTING:
Current Requirement:
Proposed Requirement:
Chronic P/F ® 1.0% at 0.107 MGD using Ceriodaphnia
Chronic P/F 1.7% at 0.142 MGD using Ceriodaphnia
The above IWCs were calculated using a flow equal to the sum of the permitted flow at outfall 003 and the non -
contact cooling water contribution.
This facility has passed all toxicity tests since startup.
COMPLIANCE SUMMARY:
The facility has been in compliance with its NPDES Permit.
INSTREAM MONITORING:
A benthic macroinvertebrate study was required in the original permit. That permit required the facility to complete
a benthic survey during the summer of 1999. The study was completed in August and submitted to the Division for
review. Dave Lenat of the Environmental Sciences Branch reviewed the study and provided the writer with
comments. His conclusion were in agreement with the study results, which indicated no biological impact from this
discharge. As the discharge will be expanding, the benthic survey requirement will be included with this renewal.
Expansion is not expected to be complete until late 2003. As such, the draft permit will require a benthic study be
completed during the summer of 2004. No other instream monitoring is required.
PROPOSED CHANGES:
Outfall 003 Flow Limit: The flow limit at outfall 003 has been modified in accordance with the facility's request.
IWC for Outfall 003: The IWC has been updated to reflect the increase in permitted flow at outfall 003. See the
Toxicity Testing portion of this report.
Cadmium monitoring for outfall 003, see discussion above.
Copper monitoring for outfall 003, see discussion above.
Zinc monitoring for outfall 003, see discussion above.

RE: NPDES Permit Modification Request for Coming's Midland Facility;
NPDES Permit No. NC0086169 — Coming, Incorporated;
Cabarrus County
Dear Mr. Goodrich:
CORNING
Coming, Incorporated is planning a second expansion of its fiber optic manufacturing facility in
Cabarrus County. To accommodate this expansion, Corning is hereby requesting modification to its
NPDES permit, issued on December 4, 2000. Specifically, Corning requests an increase in the
permitted flow for its process wastewater outfall, designated outfall 003, from 0.107 MGD to 0.142
MGD. Furthermore, as the increased production associated with this expansion is not expected to
be realized until 2002, Corning requests that effluent limitations associated with a 0.142 MGD flow
tier not be implemented until July 1, 2002. Details of the proposed expansion are summarized in the
attached permit application documents.
We are operating under strict time constraints with respect to this expansion. We appreciate the
hard work of your staff and respectfully request receipt of the requested permit modification by June
2001. Additionally, we will be submitting our request for Authorization to Construct (ATC) by the
end of January 2001 and request that the ATC be issued concurrently with the permit modification if
at all possible.
We look forward to meeting with you in January to discuss this and other issues. Thank you for your
consideration of our request. If you should have any questions during your review or need additional
information, please don't hesitate to contact me at [phone].
Sincerely,
Christy L. Hannan

Corning, Incorporated
Midland Waveguide Facility
Cabarrus County, North Carolina
SUMMARY
Corning, Incorporated manufactures optical fiber at its Cabarrus County facility in Midland, North
Carolina. The facility operates the following NPDES permitted outfalls:
• Outfall 001: Stormwater discharge from detention pond to an unnamed tributary to
Muddy Creek.
• Outfall 002: Discharge of stormwater and humidification boiler blowdown from South
Stormwater Management Pond to an unnamed tributary to Clear Creek.
• Outfall 003: Discharge of process wastewater and other non -process wastewater such as
non -contact cooling water to the Rocky River. Process wastewater is
generated from wet scrubbers used for air pollution abatement.
Outfalls 002 and 003 have analytical monitoring requirements while outfalls 001 and 002 are
regulated by the stormwater portion of permit number NC0086169.
Originally permitted in 1997, Corning requested a permit modification with its renewal in April of
1999 for an increase of flow to accommodate a manufacturing expansion, dubbed Concord II. This
expansion increased the permitted flow for outfall 003 from 0.0274 MGD to 0.107 MGD. The
current expansion request, dubbed Concord III, will increase the permitted flow for 003 from 0.107
MGD to 0.142 MGD. It should be noted that although non -contact cooling water and process
wastewater are commingled prior to discharge, the compliance point for flow at outfall 003 is, and
should continue to be, upstream of the confluence of these two streams and is meant to measure
only the process wastewater contribution. The chronic toxicity test percentage is based on the
commingled flow, approximately 0.33 MGD after expansion.
WASTEWATER TREATMENT (See Figures 1— 3 as well as Attachment A)
In general terms, the Pollution Abatement Neutralization System collects all potentially
contaminated wastewater streams from the plan and provides unit operations for treating those
streams to the parameters provided in the NPDES permit so they can be discharged to the Rocky
River. The Neutralization System consists of two separate, yet interconnected, operations;
Neutralization System No. 1 and Neutralization System No. 2.
Neutralization System No. 1 (also referred to as the "existing" system or "NEUT 1") will continue
current operations with the following exceptions:

timt
1. Non -contact cooling water blowdown from the Concord I utility area will be piped to
Neutralization System No. 2 for treatment prior to discharge;
2. The treated effluent from the Neutralization Transfer Tank will be Piped to
Neutralization System No. 2 for suspended solids removal; and
3. All softener regeneration wastewater will be treated in Neutralization System No. 2.
The existing cooling tower filters will be taken out of service and the filter backwash will no longer
flow to Off -Spec Tank No. l .
Neutralization System No. 2 collects wastewater from the Concord II Phase 1 and Phase 2
scrubbers and any contaminated stormwater from the secondary containments, equalizes hydraulic
surges and chemical concentrations, removes suspended solids from the wastewater, neutralizes
wastewater to required levels, re -treats any off -spec wastewater, and discharges the treated
wastewater to the river. Treated effluent from Neutralization System No. 1 is pumped to the
Surge/Blend Tank in Neutralization System No. 2. Non -contact cooling water and softener
regeneration wastewater from the existing plant and expansion utility areas are piped to the
Surge/Blend Tank in Neutralization System No. 2 to be treated prior to discharge.
Neutralization System No. 2 is included as part of the Concord plant expansion project. This
system consists of three distinct unit operations.
Acid Cleaning Unit
The first operation consists of a system to collect and remove suspended solids from
Concord II and III HC1 scrubber blowdown. In normal operation, the blowdown from
Concord II and III HC1 scrubbers is pumped in batch mode (8 — 20% HC1) to Lamella No.
2 Head Tank. This tanks serves to equalize flow surges and allows a constant feed to
Lamella Separator No. 2. In this lamella a flocculant is added and any suspended solids
present in the scrubber blowdown are removed. Treated effluent from this lamella is
pumped to the Chloride Stabilization Tank and is then pumped at a constant flow rate to
Equalization Tank No. 2. Solids are intermittently removed from the lamella and
transferred to Sludge Thickening Tank No. 2.

Neutralization Unit
The second operation is a two stage neutralization system for treating acid and/or caustic
scrubber blowdown. Acid from the Chloride Stabilization Tank and blowdown from the
Concord II and Concord III Core Chlorine and Consolidation Chlorine scrubbers are
collected in Equalization Tank No. 2. The combined scrubber blowdown is pumped to pH
Adjustment Tank No. 3 and flow by gravity to pH Adjustment Tank No. 4. Any off -spec
(pH) wastewater is automatically diverted to Off -Spec Tank No. 2 from pH Adjustment
Tank No. 4 and then pumped back to Equalization Tank No. 2 at a controlled rate for re -
treatment. The pH adjusted effluent is pumped to the Surge/Blend Tank.

Solids Removal Unit
The third system collects all cooling tower blowdown, all neutralization system effluents,
and softener regeneration wastewater for a final polishing step to remove suspended solids.
The inlet header to the Surge/Blend Tank provides for pre -mixing of non -contact cooling
tower blowdown, treated effluent from Neutralization System No. 1, treated effluent from
Neutralization No. 2, and softener regeneration wastewater prior to entering the tank. This
provides for thorough mixing of the wastewater inlet flows and sodium bisulfite for
chlorine removal in a static mixer. From the Surge/Blend Tank the blended wastewater is

pumped to Lamella Separator No. 3 for removal of suspended solids and is then pumped to
the existing Effluent Lift Station. Any off -spec (pH) wastewater is automatically diverted
to Off -Spec Tank No. 2 and then pumped back to Equalization Tank No. 2 at a controlled
rate for re -treatment.
The Lamella Head Tank, Lamella Separator No. 2, Equalization Tank No. 2, pH
Adjustment Tanks, Neutralization Transfer Tank No. 2, and Off -Spec Tank No. 2 are
vented to the existing Miscellaneous Scrubbers for collection and treatment of any vent
vapors. An existing Process Effluent Tank is located at the Effluent Lift Station for storage
of wastewater during the times wastewater cannot be pumped to the river. Wastewater
stored in the Process Effluent Tank is returned, by gravity, to the Effluent Lift Station.
Settled Solids in the Lamella Separator are periodically pumped from the lamella to Sludge
Thickening Tank No. 3 and then to the existing Sludge Holding Tank for disposal.

Annual Pollutant Analysis Monitoring Requirement
Reporting Form A
(Revised June 1990)
Facility Information:
Page 1 of 9
NPDES Permit No: NC0086169 Discharge (Pipe) No: 001 Year: 2000
Facility Name: Corning Incorporated Class: County: Cabarrus
Person(s) Collecting Samples: .laime Ritchie
Status of facility wastewater treatment operation on day of sampling: typical: = Yes No
If no, explain briefly:
Analytical Laboratory: Research & Analytical Laboratories , Inc .
II. Sampling
24 hr composite for main sample / grab sample for purgeable fraction
Date Sampled: (composite sample) Corresponding sample taken for toxicity testing:
Sampling begun (date,time): 02/23/00 - 0930 Yes
Sampling finished (date,time): 02/24/00 - 0930 —� No
Date and time sampled (grab sample): 0 2/ 2 4/ 0 0 - 0930
Instructions
The purpose of this document and the accompanying memo is to standardize the sampling, analysis and reporting procedures to be used
the Annual Pollutant Analysis Monitoring (APAM) Requirement as described in the permit.
Sampling
1 - Take a 24-hour composite sample from the final effluent during mid -week (Wednesday through Friday). Collect a grab -sample for the vole.
organic fraction when collection of the 24-hour composite sample is completed. Follow any other sampling instructions provided by the laborat
performing the analysis.
2 - Indicate in the space provided at the top of this page whether a corresponding sample for toxicity was taken.
3 - Make Note of any unusual wastewater treatment operating conditions occurring on the day of sampling in the space provided on the fo
Analysis
4 - Analyze the effluent for pollutants listed on the APAM form, including those to be identified and approximately quantified under the
significant peaks rule, using appropriate EPA -approved methods for each of the analytic fractions. Other analytical methods can be substiti.
only with prior, written approval of the Director of the Division of Environmental Management (DEM). Read and distribute to the laboral
performing the analysis the accompanying memo (Tedder, October 1990) clarifying analytical requirements.
5 - Identify chemicals to be analyzed for according to the 10 significant peaks rule(as described in item 2 of the Annual Pollutant Anat
Monitoring Requirement in the permit) using a GC/MS library search. Tentative identification is all that is required; confirmation by stem
injection is not necessary. Estimate the concentration of each based on an internal standard having the closest retention time.
Reporting
6 - Quantitation Limit Targets that should be met are listed on this Revised APAM Reporting Form A. Report the use of any higher quantita
limit and an explanation as to why the listed quantitation limit target could not be met. Examples of acceptable reasons for not meetir
quantitation limit target could be high background concentrations in a sample, or the necessity for sample fraction dilution to bring a chen
to within a quantifiable concentration. List any quantitation limit differtent (whether higher or lower) from the target in the column provides
this purpose.
7 - If a chemical is found to be below the quantitation limit, report the concentration as less than (or ' <' ) the quantitation limit
in the appropriate space. Provide a concentration estimate for chemicals detected in concentrations greater than the detection limit and less
the quantitation limit. Enter the detection limit in parentheses beside the estimate. Chemicals detected in concentrations above the quantit.
limits must be quantified. Quantitation limit and detection limit are defined in the accompanying memo (Tedder, October 1990). Enter the
number of peaks detected in each analytic fraction in the appropriate space on this Revised APAM Form A. Report all concentrations in umF
micrograms per liter (pill and metals as total recoverable metal.
8 - If "significant peaks" are found, provide probable molecular weight, library match probability, retention time, identification basis, and MS
number for each. In addition, list Internal standards and their retention times.
9 - In the'section labeled "Organic Analytical Information"(p•9), Include for each organic fraction the method, extration technique, GC oper
conditions, and surrogate recovery. Report the size of the GS/MS library being utilized in the appropriate space.
10 - Use copies of this Annual Pollutant Analysis Monitoring Revised Form A to report the results of the analysis. Both the analytical labor
representative and the facility operator in responsible charge should sign completed forms (last page).
11 - Mail two completed copies of the form (and the laboratory report, if submitted to the facility on a different form) to: ATTN: Central
Division of Environmental Management, NC DEHNR, P.O. Box 29535, Raleigh, NC 27626. Mail the APAM form seperately from Disc'.

SLUDGE MANAGEMENT
Sludge generated by the pollution abatement system is thickened in a thickening tank. After a
period of thickening, the sludge is stored in a holding tank prior to being pumped to drums. The
drums are transported by a regulated transport to Michigan Disposal where the sludge is then
thickened. Once the sludge is thickened it is disposed of in a regulated landfill operated by Waste
Management, Inc.
