Summary: The Cliffside Sanitary District WWTP is a publicly owned treatment works which treats
45% industrial wastes and 55% domestic wastes. Cone Jacquards fabrics discharges the industrial
component of the waste stream. Cone Jacquards' manufacturing operations include slashing, boiler
and weaving.
Facility Description: Domestic waste from 90 residential and commercial connections
(approximately 30,000 gpd) is treated at the Cliffside Sanitary District WWTP. The WWTP is
located approximately 1.5 miles from the manufacturing site. The treatment system consists of a
pump station and bar screen, extended aeration basin with 13 mechanical aerators, two final
clarifiers, three Aqua disk filters, tablet chlorination and dechlorination and post -aeration tank.
Basin Plan: The area in the Second Broad River where the discharge is located was not sampled
for the current Basin plan report. In general the Second Broad River is classified as Good -Fair in
this sub -basin. Water chemistry samples were collected monthly from a site on the Second Broad
River at
Cliffside. Results at this site indicated good water quality with the exception of turbidity and
iron. Fourteen percent of the turbidity observations collected between 1996 and 2000 at this site
exceeded the state standard of 50 NTU and the highest turbidity value (380 NTU) of all the
stations. Iron is a common element in clay soils; therefore, elevated concentrations may reflect the
geochemistry of the watershed. (Broad River Basinwide Water Quality Plan, 2003).
DMR Review: DMR data was reviewed for the period of January 2006 to December 2007.
Average flow was 0.03 MGD BOD averaged 5.24 Ibslday, and COD averaged 38.35 Ibs/day.
Phenol averaged 0.01 Ibslday, Chromium averaged 0.083 Ibslday and Total Sulfide averaged 0.02
lbs/day.

A 24-hour fathead minnow acute toxicity pass/fail toxicity testing requirement has been
added to this permit because of the 50,000 gallons per day phase limit.
The permittee has passed all the eighteen WET tests from January 2004 to April 2008. See the
attached WET testing summary.
PERMITTING STRATEGY/LIMITS DEVELOPMENT
Federal guidelines were used to calculate permit limits for BOD, COD, TSS, sulfides, chromium and
phenol. The applicable effluent guidelines are 40 CFR 410 Subpart D — Woven Fabric Finishing
Subcategory for finishing of Cone Jacquards. See the attached spreadsheet with the limits
calculations. Long term production was estimated as 16333 Ibs/day based on production for 2003
— 2007. BPT limits were the same as BAT limits with the exception of BOD5 and TSS limits.
Calculated limits were more stringent than the current actual limits. Based on the current discharge
data, the facility will meet the new calculated limits. The limits will be changed to reflect the current
average flow and production rates.
RPA
RPA was performed on chromium, copper and zinc. These parameters showed reasonable
potential to exceed water quality standard. The acute limit for chromium at a flow of 0.05 MGD was
more stringent than the federal effluent guideline limit therefore chromium daily maximum limit of
0.43 Ibs/day will be applied. Copper and zinc are action level parameters, so monitoring will be
continued at the same frequency in the previous permit. This is because permittee made prior
arrangement with the Division about the monitoring frequencies.
SUMMARY OF PROPOSED CHANGES
• Modify the the effluent limitation page to include new effluent limits based on federal
guidelines (40 CFR Part 410) See the attached spreadsheet for the details.
• Daily maximum limit of 0.43 Ibs/day for chromium will be applied based on the water
quality limit.
• A 24-hour fathead minnow acute toxicity pass/fail toxicity testing requirement has
been added to this permit because of the 50,000 gallons per day phase limit.

Re: NPDES Permit Number NC0004405
Rutherford County
Dear Mrs. Sprinkle:
We are requesting the renewal of the above mentioned permit. The treatment facility since January
2006 has been operating with a large reduction in flow. Three of the industrial plants discharging to the
facility have closed with only one still in operation. We are now operating the facility with a partially
mixed aeration lagoon, one secondary clarifier, one tertiary filter, and chorination/dechlorination. The
facilities biosolids permit is still in effect but no solids are being generated at this time. The facility last
land applied in 2005.
The priority pollutant testing is being conducted, we will submit the results when they have been
completed. If there are any questions or if additional information is needed please call me at (828) 287-
6300.
Sincerely,
9-6rn

STAFF REPORT
TO: Susan Wilson
FROM: Roy Davis
DATE: May 30, 2008
SUBJECT: NPDES Permit Renewal
Cliffside Sanitary District
(Formerly Cone Mills Cliffside)
Wastewater Treatment Plant
NPDES Permit Number NC0004405
Rutherford County
J U N 5 2008 I'
The Cliffside Sanitary District is served by an old industrial extended aeration
WWTP having a rated capacity of 1.758 MGD. The plant units consist of:
• Influent pump station and bar screen
• Aeration basin with floating aerators
• Two circular secondary clarifiers
• Aqua disc filter
• chlorination, dechlorination, and reaeration
• aerated sludge holding tank with floating aerator
With the closing of three textile plants, the current flow is a mere shadow the flow
once treated by this wastewater treatment plant. I recommend that the NPDES
permit be reissued.
