SECTION E. DEFINITION
1. Permit Issuing Authority
The Director of the Division of Environmental Management.
2. DEM or Division
Means the Division of Environmental Management, Department of Natural
Resources and Community Development. 3. EMC:
Used herein means the North Carolina Environmental Management Commission.
3. EMC
Used herein means the North Carolina Environmental Management Commission.
4. Act or "the Act"
The Federal Water Pollution Control. Act, also known as the Clean Water Act, as
amended, 33 13SC 1251, et. seq.
5. Mass/Day Measurements
a. The "monthly average discharge: is defined as the total mass of all
daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar month on
which daily discharges are sample and measured, divided by the number
of daily discharges samples and/or measured during such month. It is
therefore, an arithmetic mean found by adding the weights of the
pollutant found each day of the month and then dividing this sum by
the number of days the tests were reported. The limitation is
identified as "Monthly Average" in Part I of the permit.
b. The "weekly average discharge's is defined as the total mass of
all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during the calendar week
(Sunday -Saturday) on which daily discharges are sampled and measured,
divided by the number of daily discharges samples and/or measured
during such week. It is, therefore, an arithmetic mean found by
adding the weights of pollutants found each day of the week and then
dividing this slim by the number of days the tests were reported. This
limitation is identified as "Weekly Average" in Part I of the permit.
C. The "maximum daily discharge" is the total mass (weight) of a
pollutant discharged during a calendar day. If only one sample is
taken during any calendar day the weight of pollutant calculated from
it is the `maximum daily discharge." This limitation is identified as
"Doi.ly Maximum," in Part I of the permit.

Part II
Page 12 of 14
d. The "average annual discharge" is defined as the total mass of all daily
discharges sample and/or measured during the calendar year on which daily
discharges are sampled and measured, divided by the number_ of da.ily
discharges sampled and/or measured during such year. It is, therefore, an
arithmetic :Wean found by adding the weights of pollutants found each day of
the year and then dividing this sum by the number of days the tests were
reported. This limitation is defined as "Annual. Average" in Part I of the
permit.
6. Concentrati.on Measurement
a. The "average monthly concentration," other than for fecal_ coliform
bacteria, is the sum of the concentrations of all daily discharges
samples and/or measured during a calendar month on which daily discharges
are sampled and measured, divided by the number of daily discharges sampled
and/or measured during such month (arithmetic mean of the daily
concentration values). The daily concentration value is equal to the
concentration of a composite sample or in the case of grab samples is the
arithmetic mean (weighted by flow value) of all the samples collected
during that calendar day. The average monthly count for fecal coliform
bacteria is the geometric mean of the counts for samples collected during a
calendar month. This limitation is identified as "Monthly Average"
under "Other Limits" in Part I of the permit.
b. The "average weekly concentration," other than for fecal coliform bacteria,
is the sum of the concentrations of all daily discharges sampled and/or
measured during a calendar week (Sunday/Saturday) on which daily discharges
are sampled and measured divided by the number of daily discharges sampled
and/or measured during such week (arithmetic mean of the daily
concentration values). The daily concentration value is equal. to the
concentration of a composite sample or in the case of grab samples is the
arithmetic mean (weighted by flow value) of all the samples collected during
that calendar. day. The average weekly count for fecal coliform bacteria is
the geometric mean of the counts for samples collected during a calendar
week. This limitation is identified as "Weekly Average" under "Other
Limits" in Part I of the permit.
C. The "maximum daily concentration" is the concentration of a pollutant
discharge during a calendar day. If only one sample is taken during any
calendar day the concentration of pollutant calculated from it is the
"Maxi.mum.Dai.ly Concentration". It is identified as "Daily Maximum" under
"Other Limits" in Part i of the permit.

Part II
Page 13 of 14
d. The "average annual concentration," other than for fecal coliform bacteria,
is the sum of the concentrations of all daily discharges sampled and/or
measured during a calendar year on which daily discharges are sampled and
measured divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured
during such year (arithmetic mean of the daily concentration values). The
daily concentration value is equal to the concentration of a composite
sample or in the case of grab samples is the arithmetic mean (weighted by
flow value) of all the samples collected during that calendar day. The
average yearly count for fecal coliform bacteria is the geometric mean
of the counts for samples collected during a calendar year. This
limitation is identified as "Annual. Average" under "Other Limits" in Part I
of the permit.
e. The "daily minimum concentration" (for dissolved oxygen only) is the
minimum allowable amount of dissolved oxygen required to be available in
the effluent prior to discharge. It is identified as "Daily Minimum" under
"Other Limits" in Part III of the permit.
Other Measurements
a. Flow, (MGD): The flow limit expressed in this permit is the 24 hours
average flow, averaged monthly. It is determined as the arithmetic mean
of the total daily flows recorded during the calendar month.
b. An "instantaneous flow measurement" is a measure of flow taken at the time
of sampling, when both the sample and flow will be representative of the
total discharge.
T_y es_of Samples
a. Composite Sample: These samples consist of grab samples collected at
equal intervals and combined proportional to flow, a sample continuously
collected proportionally to flow, or equal volumes taken at varying time
intervals. If a. composite sample is obtained from grab samples, the
following requirements apply. The intervals between influent grab
samples shall be no greater_ than hourly. Intervals between effluent grab
samples shall be no greater than hourly except where the detention time
of the wastewater in the facility is greater than 24 hours, in which
case, the interval between grab samples shall be no greater in number of
hours than the detention time in number of days; provided, however, in
no case may the time between effluent grab samples be greater than six
hours nor the number of grab samples less than four during any discharge
period of 24 hours or less.
b. Grab Sample: Grab samples are individual samples collected over a
period of time not exceeding 1.5 minutes; the grab sample can be taken
manually.

Part II
Page 14 of 14
9. Calculation of Means
a. Arithmetic Mean: The arithmetic mean of any set of values is the summation
of the individual values divided by the number of individual values.
b. Geometric Mean: The geometric mean of any set of values is the Nth root of
the product of the individual values where N is equal to the number of
individual values. The geometric mean is equivalent to the antilog of
the arithmetic mean of the logarithms of the individual values. For
purposes of calculating the geometric mean, values of zero (0) shall. be
considered to be one (1).
c. Weighted by Flow Value: Weighted by flow value means the summation of each
concentration times its respective flow divided by the summation of the
respective flows.
10. Calendar_ Day_
A calendar day is defined as the period from midnight of one day until midnight
of the next day. However, for purposes of this permit, any consecutive 24-hour
period that reasonably represents the calendar day may be used for sampling.
11. Hazardous Substance
A hazardous substance means any substance designated under 40 CFR Part 116
pursuant to Section 311 of the Clean Water Act.
12. Toxic Pollutant
A toxic pollutant is any pollutant listed as toxic under Section. 307(a)(1) of
the Clean Water Act.

The following definitions shall apply throughout this Subchapter.
(1) Activated Carbon Beds. A physicaVchemical method for reducing soluble organic material from wastewater effluent; The column -type beds used in this
method will have a flow rate varying from two to eight gallons per minute per square foot and may be ehher upflow or downflow carbon beds. Carton may or
may not be *regenerated on the wastewater treatment plant she;
(2) Aerated Lagoons. A basin in which all solids are maintained in suspension and by which biological oxidation or organic matter Is reduced through artificially
accelerated transfer of oxygen on a flow -through basis;
(3) Aeration. A process of bringing about intimate contact between air or high purity oxygen In a liquid by spraying, agitation or diffusion;(3a) Extended
Aeration. An activated sludge process utilizing a minimum hydraulic detention time of 18 hours.
(4) Agriculturally managed site. Any site on which a crop Is produced, managed, and harvested (Crop includes grasses, grains, trees, etc.);
(5) Air Stripping. A process by which the ammonium Ion is first converted to dissolved ammonia (pH adjustment) with the ammonia then released to the
atmosphere by physical means; or other similar processes which remove petroleum products such as benzene, toluene, and xylene;
(6) Carbon Regeneration. The regeneration of exhausted carbon by the use of a furnace to provide extremely high temperatures which volatilize and oxidize the
absorbed impurities;
(7) Carbonaceous Stage. A stage of wastewater treatment designed to achieve "secondary' effluent limits;
(8) Centrifuge. A mechanical device in which centrifugal force Is used to separate solids from liquids or to separate liquids of different denshlas;
(9) Chemical Addition Systems- The addition of chemicals) to wastewater at an application point for purposes of Improving solids removal, pH adjustment,
alkalinity control, etc.; the capability to experiment with different chemicals and different application points to achieve a specific result will be considered one
system; the capability to add chemical(s) to dual units will be rated as one system; capability to add a chemical at a different application points for different
purposes will result In the systems being rated as separate systems;
(10) Chemical Sludge Conditioning. The addition of a chemical compound such as lime, ferric chloride, or a polymer to wet sludge to coalesce the mass prior to
its application to a dewatering device;
(11) Closed Cycle Systems. Use of holding ponds or holding tanks for containment of wastewater containing Inorganic, non -toxic materials from sand, gravel,
crushed stone or other similar operationk. Such systems shall carry a maximum of two. points regardless of pumping facilities or any other appurtenances;
(12) Combined Removal of Carbonaceous BOD and Nitrogenous Removal by Nitrification- A single stage system required to achieve permit effluent limits on BOD
and ammonia nitrogen within the same biological reactor,
(13) Dechlorination. The partial or complete reduction of residual chlorine in a liquid by any chemical or physical process;
(14) Denitrification Process. The conversion of nitrate -nitrogen to nitrogen gas;

\v Sealed Air Corporation -Warrior
Plant- Wastewater Treatment
Caldwell County
Dear Mr. Robert:
Thank you for your time.and assistance during the
inspection of October 31, 1996. An inspection report and
sampling results are attached.
The waste treatment plant exceeded its daily maximum
effluent limitation for fecal coliform. The exceedance was due
to there being no chlorine tablets in the chlorinator. The
chlorinator should be stocked with tablets and adjusted to
maintain an effluent chlorine concentration of approximately 0.3
- 0.5 mg/l total residual chlorine.
The effluent suspended solids concentration of 39 mg/1 did
not exceed the daily maximum limit of 45 mg/l. However, since
the solids concentration was above the monthly average limit of
30 mg/l, some corrective action (if not already implemented) will
be required. Accumulated solids in the secondary clarifier's
overflow weirs and in the chlorine contact basin appeared to have
been contributing to elevated effluent solids. The weirs and
contact tank should be cleaned.
Also, settleability of matter in the aeration basin seemed
to have been contributing to the elevated effluent solids
concentration. Matter in the basin looked light and fluffy,
leaving a cloudy supernatant after setting. The appearance
indicated it to be old sludge. Some wasting of sludge may be
necessary to reduce sludge age and produce settling
characteristics which will result in consistent compliance.

NPDES No. NCO047627
Dear Ms. Norris:
This is to inform you that your monthly monitoring report for February 1997 was not
received in a timely manner by the Division of Water Quality. This is in violation of the terms of
your NPDES permit and Title 15 of the North Carolina Administrative Code, Chapter 2,
Subchapter 2B, Section .506(a), paragraph 1A, which states "monthly monitoring reports shall be
filed no later than 30 days after the end'of the reporting period for which the report is made." The
reporting requirement is further codified in North Carolina General Statute 143-215.65. Failure to
submit reports as required by the terms of either the permit, rule or statute will subject the violator
to the assessment of a civil penalty of up to $10,000 per violation. Our records show this report
was received in our Central Files office on April 16, 1997.
If within the next twelve (12) months, future reports are not received within the required
time frame, you will be assessed $500.00. Additional violations within a twelve (12) month
period will double the penalty for each violation. The Division must take these steps because
timely submittal of discharge monitoring reports is essential to the efficient operation of our water
quality programs and therefore, great importance is placed upon the permittee's compliance with
reporting requirements. We appreciate your assistance in this matter. If you have any questions
about this letter or discharge monitoring reports, please contact Roy Davis, Regional Supervisor of
our Asheville Regional Office, at [phone].

Status: In Compliance

Plant -Wastewater Treatment
Caldwell County
Dear Mr. Robert:
The Division of Water Quality inspected the Wariror
Plant's wastewater treatment facility on June 4, 1998. The
facility's discharge complied with limits contained in NPDES
Permit Number NC0047627. An inspection report and sampling
results are attached.
Concentrations of DOD (biochemical oxygen demand) and
total suspended solids (TSS), while within permit limits,
were somewhat above what might be expected. Slightly
elevated DOD and TSS concentrations were believed to have
been due to a high oxygen level in the aeration basin (as a
result of sludge having been pumped approximately one week
prior to the inspection). With increasing temperatures no
adjustment of the aeration cycle may be necessary, but the

Subject: Classification of Land Application/Residuals System
System: Sealed Air Corporation
Permit No: WQ0011532
County: Caldwell
Dear Mr. Hosken:
The Water Pollution Control System Operators Certification Commission adopted Rule 15A NCAC 8C .0006,
Classification of Land Application/Residuals Systems, effective July 1, 1993. In order to insure the proper operation
and maintenance of these systems, this Rule requires that all facilities permitted for the land application of sludge,
residuals, biosolids, or contaminated soil on a dedicated site to be classified as land application/residuals systems.
The Water Pollution Control System Operators Certification Commission hereby classifies the subject facility as a
Land Application/Residuals System.
As required by Rule 15A NCAC 8A .0202(b) and the subject permit, a certified operator and back-up operator of the
appropriate type must be designated for each classified system. Your system requires an Operator in Responsible
Charge (ORC) and a back-up operator who hold valid land application/residuals certificates. If you have not already
done so, please complete and return the enclosed designation form to this office by December 31, 1998. Failure to
designate a properly certified Operator in Responsible Charge and back-up operator is a violation of the permit issued
for this system.
If you need assistance or have any questions concerning this requirement please call Tony Honeycutt at 919-733-0026,
extension 314.

V+�

Subject: Renewal of NPDES Permit NCO047627
SEALED AIR CORPORATION
CALDWELL County
The subject permit'expires on June 30, 2000. North Carolina_ Administrative Code 15A NCAC 2H.0105(e)
requires that an application for permit renewal be filed at least 180 days prior to expiration of the .current permit.
To satisfy this requirement, your renewal package must be sent to the Division postmarked no later than
January 2, 2000. Failure to request renewal of the permit by this date will result in.a civil assessment of at least
$250.00. Larger penalties may be assessed depending upon the delinquency of the request.
If any wastewater discharge will occur after June 30, 2000 (or. if continuation of the permit is desired), the
current permit must be renewed. Operation of wastewater treatment works or continuation of discharge after
June 30, 2000 would violate North Carolina General Statute 143-2.15.1 and could result in assessment of civil
penalties of up to $25,000 per day.
If all wastewater discharge has ceased at your facility and you wish to rescind this permit, contact Robert
Farmer of the Division's Compliance Enforcement Unit at [phone], extension 531. You may also contact
the Asheville Regional Office at [phone] to begin the rescission process.
Use the enclosed checklist to complete your renewal package. The checklist identifies the items you must
submit with the permit renewal application. If you have any questions, please contact me. My telephone
number, fax number and e-mail address are listed at the bottom of this page.

Subjecti,.-NMES Permit Renewal Application
Permit NCO047627
Warrior Plant
Caldwell County
The Division received your permit renewal application on November 23, 1999. Thank you
for submitting this package.
The permit renewal for this facility will be assigned to a member of the NPDES Unit staff.
That staff member will contact you if further information is needed to complete the permit
renewal. Please note that the NPDES Unit has several vacant positions. This staff shortage has
lasted for over a year and is delaying all permit renewals. Our remaining permit writers are
currently reviewing Authorizations to Construct, speculative limit requests, major permit
modifications and 201 plan updates ahead of permit renewals. This is necessary due to a variety
of factors, including mandatory deadlines in the statutes which govern our program.
If this staff shortage delays reissuance of NC0047627, the existing requirements in your
permit will remain in effect until the permit is renewed (or the Division takes other action). We
appreciate your patience and understanding while we operate with a severely depleted staff. If you
have any additional questions concerning renewal of the subject permit, please contact me at
[phone], extension 511.

PART II
STANDARD CONDITIONS FOR NPDES PERMITS
SECTION A. DEFINITIONS
1. Permit Issuing Authority
The Director of the Division of Water Quality.
2. DEM or "the Division"
Means the Division of Water Quality, Department of Environment, Health and Natural Resources.
3. EMC
Used herein means the North Carolina Environmental Management Commission.
4. Act or "the Act"
The Federal Water Pollution Control Act, also known as the Clean Water Act, as amended, 33 USC
1251, et. seq.
5. Mass/Day Measurements
a. The "monthly average discharge" is defined as the total mass of all daily discharges sampled
and/nor measured during a calendar month on which daily discharges are sampled and
measured, divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such
month. It is therefore, an arithmetic mean found by adding the weights of the pollutant found
each day of the month and then dividing this sum by the number of days the tests were
reported. The limitation is identified as "Monthly Average" in Part I of the permit.
b. The "weekly average discharge" is defined as the total mass of all daily discharges sampled
and/or measured during the calendar week (Sunday - Saturday) on which daily discharges are
sampled and measured, divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured
during such week. It is, therefore, an arithmetic mean found by adding the weights of
pollutants found each day of the week and then dividing this sum by the number of days the
tests were reported. This limitation is identified as "Weekly Average" in Part 1 of the permit.
c. The "maximum daily discharge" is the total mass (weight) of a pollutant discharged during a
calendar day. If only one sample is taken during any calendar day the weight of pollutant
calculated from it is the "maximum daily discharge." This limitation is identified as "Daily
Maximum," in Part I of the permit.
d. The "average annual discharge" is defined as the total mass of all daily discharges sampled.
and/or measured during the calendar year on which daily discharges are sampled and
measured, divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such
year. It is, therefore, an arithmetic mean found by adding the weights of pollutants found each
day of the year and then dividing this sum by the number of days the tests were reported. This
limitation is defined as "Annual Average" in Part I of the permit.

art II
-age 2 of 14
6. Concentration Measurement
a. The "average monthly concentration," other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the sum of the
concentrations of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar month on
which daily discharges are sampled and measured, divided by the number of daily discharges
sampled and/or measured during such month (arithmetic mean of the daily concentration
values). The daily concentration value is equal to the concentration of a composite sample or in
the case of grab samples `is the arithmetic mean (weighted by flow value) of all the samples
collected during that calendar day. The average monthly count for fecal coliform bacteria is
the geometric mean of the counts for samples collected during a calendar month. This
limitation is identified as "Monthly Average" under "Other Limits" in Part I of the permit.
b. The "average weekly concentration," other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the sum of the
concentrations of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar week
(Sunday/Saturday) on which daily discharges are sampled and measured divided by the
number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such week (arithmetic mean of the
daily concentration values). The daily concentration value is equal to the concentration of a
composite sample or in the case of grab samples is the arithmetic mean (weighted by flow
value) of all the -samples collected during that calendar day. The average weekly count for
fecal coliform bacteria is the geometric mean of the counts for samples collected during a
calendar week. This limitation is identified as "Weekly Average" under "Other Limits" in
Part I of the permit.
c. The "maximum daily concentration" is the concentration of a pollutant discharge during a
calendar day. If only one sample is taken during any calendar day the concentration of
pollutant calculated from it is the "Maximum Daily Concentration". It is identified as "Daily
Maximum" under "Other Limits" in Part I of the permit.
d. The "average annual concentration," other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the sum of the
concentrations of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar year on
which daily discharges are sampled and measured divided by the number of daily discharges
sampled and/or measured during such year (arithmetic mean of the daily concentration
values). The daily concentration value is equal to the concentration of a composite sample or in
the case of grab samples is the arithmetic mean (weighted by flow value) of all the samples
collected during that calendar day. The average yearly count for fecal coliform bacteria is the
geometric mean of the counts for samples collected during a calendar year. This limitation is
identified as "Annual Average" under "Other Limits" in Part I of the permit.
e. The "daily average concentration" (for dissolved oxygen) is the minimum allowable amount of
dissolved oxygen required to be available in the effluent prior to discharge averaged over a
calendar day. If only one dissolved oxygen sample is taken over a calendar day, the sample is
considered to be the "daily average concentration" for the discharge. It is identified as "daily
average" in the text of Part 1.
f. The "quarterly average concentration" is the average of all samples taken over a calendar
quarter. It is identified as "Quarterly Average Limitation" in the text of Part 1 of the permit.
g. A calendar quarter is defined as one of the following distinct periods. January through March,
April through June, July through September, and October through December.

Part II
Page 3 of 14
7. Other Measurements
a. Flow, (MGD): The flow limit expressed in this permit is the 24 hours average flow, averaged
monthly. It is determined as the arithmetic mean of the total daily flows recorded during the
calendar month.
b. An "instantaneous flow measurement" is a measure of flow taken at the time of sampling, when
both the sample and flow will be representative of the total discharge.
c. A "continuous flow measurement' is a measure of discharge flow from the facility which occurs
continually without interruption throughout the operating hours of the facility. Flow shall be
monitored continually except for the infrequent times when there may be no flow or for
infrequent maintenance activities on the flow device.
8. TXpes of Samples
a. Composite Sample: A composite sample shall consist of:
(1) a series of grab samples collected at equal time intervals over a 24 hour period of discharge
and combined proportional to the rate of flow measured at the time of individual sample
collection, or
(2) a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24 hour period with the time
intervals between samples determined by a preset number of gallons passing the sampling
point. Flow measurement between sample intervals shall be determined by use of a flow
recorder and totalizer, and the present gallon interval between sample collection fixed at
no greater than 1 /24 of the expected total daily flow at the treatment system, or
(3) a single, continuous sample collected over a 24 hour period proportional to the rate of flow.
In accordance with (1) above, the time interval between influent grab samples shall be no
greater than once per hour, and the time interval between effluent grab samples shall be no
greater than once per hour except at wastewater. treatment systems having a detention time of
greater than 24 hours. In such cases, effluent grab samples may be collected at time intervals
evenly spaced over the 24 hour period which are equal in number of hours to the detention time
of the system in number of days. However, in no case may the time interval between effluent
grab samples be greater than six (6) hours nor the number of samples less than four (4) during a
24 hour sampling period.
b. Grab Sample: Grab samples are individual samples collected over a period of time not
exceeding 15 minutes; the grab sample can be taken manually. Grab samples must ' be
representative of the discharge or the receiving waters.
9. Calculation of Means
a Arithmetic Mean: The arithmetic mean of any set of values is the summation of the individual
values divided by the number of individual values.
b. Geometric Mean: The geometric mean of any set of values is the Nth root of the product of the
individual values where N is equal to the number of individual values. The geometric mean is
equivalent to the antilog of the arithmetic mean of the logarithms of the individual values.
For purposes of calculating the geometric mean, values of zero (0) shall be considered to be one
0).
c. Weighted by Flow Value: Weighted by flow value means the summation of each concentration
- - - times its respective flow divided by the summation of the respective flows.

4. Bwassing of Treatment Facilities
a. Definitions
(1) 'Bypass" means the known diversion of waste streams from any portion of a treatment
facility including the collection system, which is not a designed or established or operating
mode for the facility.
(2) "Severe property damage" means substantial physical damage to property, damage to the
treatment facilities which causes them to become inoperable, or substantial and permanent
loss of natural resources which can reasonably be expected to occur in the absence of a
bypass. Severe property damage does not mean economic loss caused by delays in
production.
b. Bypass not exceeding limitations.
The permittee may allow any bypass to occur which -does not cause effluent limitations to be
exceeded, but only if it also is for essential maintenance to assure efficient operation. These
bypasses are not subject to the provisions of Paragraphs c. and d. of this section.
c. Notice
(1) Anticipated bypass. If the permittee knows in advance of the need for a bypass, it shall.
submit prior notice, if possible at least ten days before the date of the bypass; including an

caused by operational error, improperly designed treatment facilities, inadequate treatment
facilities, lack of preventive maintenance, or careless or improper operation.
b. Effect of an upset.
An upset constitutes an affirmative defense to an action brought for noncompliance with such
technology based permit effluent limitations if the requirements of paragraph c. of this
condition are met. No determination made during administrative review of claims that
noncompliance was caused by upset, and before an action for noncompliance, is final
administrative action subject to judicial review.
c. Conditions necessary for a demonstration of upset.
A permittee who wishes to establish the affirmative defense of upset shall demonstrate,
through properly signed, contemporaneous operating logs, or other relevant evidence that:
(1) An upset occurred and that the permittee can identify the cause(s) of the upset;
(2) The permittee facility was at the time being properly operated; and
(3) The permittee submitted notice of the upset as required in Part II, E. 6. (b) (B) of this permit.
(4) The permittee complied with any remedial measures required under Part Il, B. 2. of this

Dear Mr. Robert:
The Division.of Water Quality (accompanied by staff of Water Tech
Labs) inspected the Warrior Plant's wastewater treatment facility on
February 7, 2001. The facility's discharge mostly complied with
limits contained in NPDES Permit Number NC0047627
The effluent pH value of 5.7 was slightly less than the minimum
acceptable value of-6.0. Excessive chlorination may have lowered the
pH value. The effluent chlorine concentration was 1.1 mg/l, possibly
causing a slightly acidic condition lowering the effluent pH. An
inspection report and sampling results are attached.
The plant was clean and well kept. Your attention is
appreciated. Please contact me at telephone number 828-251-6208 if
there are questions or a need for assistance.
Sincerely,

Sealed Air -Warrior -Wastewater
Caldwell County
The Division of Water Quality,(accompanied by Mr. Robert Greene of
Water Tech Labs) inspected the Warrior Plant Is wastewater treatment
facility on April 8, 2003. The facility was in violation of its daily
maximum limits for BOD, fecal coliform and total suspended residue.
The operator stated that he had washed the plant with a garden hose
shortly prior to the inspection. Washing may have contributed to
effluent concentrations in excess of permit limitations. However,
please be aware that any violation subjects the facility's owner to the
possibility of enforcement actions.
Within 5 days of receipt of this letter, kindly advise the Division
of Water Quality of actions taken or planned to remedy violations
documented on April 8, 2003. Your attention is appreciated. Please

This letter is in response to your Notice of Violation letter dated 4/29/03. Please review the enclosed leihei
from Tony Gragg of Water Tech Lab$ dated May 01, 2003. Water Tech Labs is the operator of our Waste
Water Treatment Plant.
Mr. Gragg has assured me that the noted violations have been corrected, and that all plant parameters are
now in compliance.

Dear Mr. Westall:
Thank you for your letter dated April 29, 2003 regarding the compliance sampling
inspection of the Sealed Air —Warrior wastewater treatment facility (NPDES Permit
NC0047627).
In reference to the effluent quality at the time of the inspection, we respectfully regret and
apologize for the overly ambitious actions of the operator that resulted in a non -compliant
situation. In discussing the inspection findings with the operator, Mr. Robert Greene, it is
apparent that his efforts to do a wash down of clarifier and chlorine contact chamber just
prior to the inspection was not a good judgment call. Mr. Greene received his Grade II
operator's license in July 2001. lam sure he will be positively motivated by this
occurrence, and will continue his growth as a wastewater treatment operator. I believe
this was a one-time occurrence, and will not be repeated. Self -monitoring sampling
during the month of April 2003 shows compliance.
The Sealed Air -Warrior -facility will begin discharging its wastewater into the City of
Lenoir collection system possibly as early as May 2003. Sealed Air was voluntarily
annexed into the City of Lenoir sometime ago, and is just days away from receiving
sewer service.
I hope this response properly addresses the concerns in your letter, and if I can be of
further assistance in this matter, please let me know.
Sincerely,
<C7�17

Dear Mr. WestalL
As of Nlay 26, 2003 (PM) our plant sewer lines were tied into the newly installed extension of the Lenoir
city sewer system, We no longer have any discharge to Blair Fork Creek from our WWTP,
We will submit our monthly reports for May, as prepared by Water Tech Labs, our treatment plant
operator. We plan to disconnect and remove the WWTP equipment in the near future,.
Please advise if any other action is required on our part. Please call me at [phone] if you need
additional information.
Sincerely,

Dear Mr. WestalL
As of May 26, 2003 (PM) our plant sewer lines were tied into the newly installed extension of the Lenoir
city sewer system, We no longer have any discharge to Blair Fork Creek from our WWTP,
We will submit our monthly reports for May, as prepared by Water Tech Labs, our treatment plant
operator, We plan to disconnect and remove the W W'IP equipment in the near future,
Please advise if any other action is required on our part. Please call me at [phone] if you need
additional information.
Sincerely, _2Art
