Mr. Mark Hawes (Director of Environment and Safety for Shuford Mills,
Inc.) contacted this office and advised that the company failed to make
timely application for renewal of Stormwater COCs due to DWQ's having
mailed renewal notices to nonexistent people. Mr.'Hawes stated that NOIs
had been faxed this date and had also been sent by overnight service for
delivery tomorrow morning.
In order to avoid future mishaps, Mr. Hawes requested that all DWQ's
contact information be updated to reflect him as owner and contact for
Shuford Mills, Inc.'s facilities. I attempted to make the requested
changes in DIMS, but apparently do not have authorization to change the
items in DIMS.
Consequently, would you please change "affiliations" in DIMS for your
respective program areas for the following permits? Mr. Hawes

Dear Mr. Edwards:
In response to your letter of 4 September 2007 notifying Shuford Yarns of
potential applicability of the requirements of 15 NCAC 2T.0403 Mr. Roy Davis, of your

understanding that no further action is required. Should guidance from staff differ or
change, Shuford Yarns respectfully requests to be notified via letter. If there are any

Subject: Dechlorination Unit Installation & Certification of No Discharge
NPDES Permit No, NC0500321
Dudley Shoals plant
Caldwell County
Dear Mr. Edwards:
. F E B 1 1 2009
WATER QUALITY SECTION
ASHEN11LE RF-GIONAL OFFICE
Shuford Yarns' Dudley Shoals facility was issued the subject General permit which limited the
effluent concentration of total residual chlorine (TRC). Therefore, to meet the required effluent
concentration, the facility has designed, received approval and completed installation of a tablet type
dechlorinatiou system. The permit specified the TRC effluent limitation for existing discharges would
become effective 18 months after the effective date of the permit. The effective date of the permit was 1
August 2007. We discovered on 9 February 2009 that we had incorrectly interpreted the compliance date
as 18 February 2009 instead of 1 February 2009. Thus, our Environmental Director, Marks Hawes,
contacted you via telephone on 10 February 2009 to verbally report the error and provide a summary of
actions to assure compliance with the effluent limitation for TRC.
Construction of the dechlorination system began on 16 January 2009. Since 16 January 2009,
Shuford Yams can confirm that the cooling towers, air wash systems, and boiler (out of service for more
than 5 years) have not discharged. During the winter months the cooling towers are taken out of service
and the air wash system run on a limited basis with pump floats adjusted to prevent water levels from
reaching levels that would discharge. During the *construction process these pieces of equipment have been
disconnected from the drain lines. Therefore, Shuford Yams is certifying that the systems have not
discharge since 16 January 2009 and, more specifically, have not discharged after the time the TRC
effluent limitation went into effect on 1 February 2009.
On 10 February 2009, construction was completed on the deehlorination system. Today the
design engineer will be evaluating the finished construction to verify the system is ready for operation. We
expect to provide the 48 hour notification later today or tomorrow to commence operation of the new
system as soon as the need arises to bring the cooling systems back on line.
We regret this error, but point out that compliance has been maintained by the cooling systems not
discharging. If you have any questions, please contact Mark Hawes at 828,325.5428 or myself at
828.324,7430.

C. Permit: NCO035211
d. Description of treatment process: Shuford Yarns, LLC operates a 5,400 GPD WWTP to treat
domestic wastewater generated by Shuford Yarns' Dudley Shoals Plant. The WWTP consists
of a septic tank, dosing facilities, distribution box, and surface sand filter. Discharge of the
treated wastewater is into Upper Little River in the Catawba River Basin.
U. Performance
a. Description of overall 12-month performance: The previous twelve months performance was
reviewed with the ORC, Mr. Douglas Lee, Jr., Certificate No. 10642. Review of the system
performance consisted of reviewing the operator's logbook, calibration logbooks, sludge
removal records, and DMR's from January 2009 through December 2009. During this time
period, no effluent violations occurred. During this time period process control monitoring
equipment was found to have met calibration checks, except as otherwise described below;
buffer solutions used for pH meter calibrations were valid; and sampling results have attached
chain of custody forms. The operator logbooks verified that the system had been attended as
required with maintenance activities performed.

b. During the time period of January 2009 through December 2009 no effluent violations
- occurred.
C. Description of any known environmental impacts of violations:
N/A — No known violations of effluent limitations.
d. Description of corrective actions taken to address violations or deficiencies:
• August 3, 2009: pH was reported on the DMR, calibration of the pH meter was not
documented on that day. The pre- and post- pH meter calibrations indicate that the meter was
likely performing properly. The DMR was not amended.
• October 28, 2009: The temperature was reported as 12.5 on the DMR but was recorded in the
log book as 12.8. An amended DMR will be submitted.
• November 3, 2009: The pH was reported as 6.6 on the DMR but was recorded in the log
book as 6.4. An amended DMR will be submitted.
• November 16, 2009: The DMR, Log Book, and Calibration Records each indicate that
November 16`h was a sampling date. However, the Chain -of -Custody indicates the sampling
date as November 1861. The confusion over this sampling date will also be outlined in the
cover letter accompanying the amended DMR, submitted to address the pH issue on
November 3rd (as described above).
e. Shuford Yarns contracts with Water Tech Labs (NC Lab Certification No. NC050) to
operate the facility, including obtaining samples for analysis on site (i.e., temperature and
pH). Water Tech Labs has met the requirements to conduct analysis of field parameters on
site through Lab Certification Procedures.
f. Notification: The Shuford Yarns WWTP serves the manufacturing facility at Dudley Shoals.
There are no other users connected to the system. Therefore, Shuford Yarns is the only user
of the system. A copy of this report is sent to the Vice President of Manufacturing and the
President of the company.
III. Certification
I certify, under penalty of law, that this document and all attachments were prepared under my
direction or supervision in accordance with a system designed to assure that qualified personnel
properly gather and evaluate the information submitted. Based on my inquiry of the person or persons
who manage the system, or those persons directly responsible for gathering the information, the

Summary of ORC Log Book Review: Calibration records exist for each day of pH readings, except
August 3, 2009, where no calibration was documented. All pre- andpost- pH calibrations indicate that the
meter was performing properly. A revised DMR was not submitted.
Logs exist to document on -site parameters. Analytical reports, with chains -of -custody, are filed with the
DMRs. Reported results matched the analytical data, with the following exceptions:
1 The October 28th DMR indicates that the temperature was 12.5 degrees, however the log book
indicates the reading was 12.8 degrees. An amended DMR will be submitted.
2 .The November. 3rd_DMR.re orted the pH as 6.6, however the log book indicates that the actual reading
was 6.4. Furthermore, the DMR, Log Book, and Calibration Records all indicate that November 16th was
a sampling date. However, the Chain -of -Custody indicates the sample date as November 18th. An
amended DMR will be submitted, correcting the pH reading, and footnoting the confusion about sample
date.
Summary of Review: The facility operated in compliance during the reporting period.
ORC records exist as needed to document facility compliance. Any problems with the ORC records are
summarized above. Two DMRs will be amended as a result of this annual performance audit.

2/Month
Samples are collected twice per month with at least ten calendar days between sampling events. These samples shall
be representative of the wastewater discharged during the sample period.
3/Week
Samples are collected three times per week on three separate calendar days. These samples shall be representative of
the wastewater discharged during the sample period.
Act or "the Act"
The Federal Water Pollution Control Act, also known as the Clean Water Act (CWA), as amended, 33 USC 1251, et.
seq.
Annual Average
The arithmetic mean of all "daily discharges" of a pollutant measured during the calendar year. In the case of fecal
coliform, the geometric mean of such discharges.
Arithmetic Mean
The summation of the individual values divided by the number of individual values.
Bypass
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.
Calendar Dav
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.
Calendar Week
The period from Sunday through the following Saturday.
Calendar Quarter
One of the following distinct periods: January through March, April through June, July through September, and
October through December.
Composite Sample
A sample collected over a 24-hour period by continuous sampling or combining grab samples of at least 100 ml in
such a manner as to result in a total sample representative of the wastewater discharge during the sample period. The
Director may designate the most appropriate method (specific number and size of aliquots necessary, the time
interval between grab samples, etc.) on a case -by -case basis. Samples may be collected manually or automatically.
Composite samples may be obtained by the following methods:
(1) Continuous: a single, continuous sample collected over a 24-hour period proportional to the rate of flow.
(2) Constant time/variable volume: 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
(3) Variable time/constant volume: 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
Version 712009

iNPDES Permit Standard Conditions
Page 2 of 18
totalizer, and the preset gallon interval between sample collection fixed at no greater than 1/24 of the
expected total daily flow at the treatment system, or
(4) Constant time/constant volume: a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24-hour period at
a constant time interval. Use of this method requires prior approval by the Director. This method
may only be used in situations where effluent flow rates vary less than 15 percent. The following
restrictions also apply:
➢ Influent and effluent grab samples shall be of equal size and of no less than 100 milliliters
➢ Influent samples shall not be collected more than once per hour.
➢ Permittees with wastewater treatment systems whose detention time < 24 hours shall collect effluent
grab samples at intervals of no greater than 20 minutes apart during any 24-hour period.
➢ Permittees with wastewater treatment systems whose detention time exceeds 24 hours shall collect
effluent grab samples at least every six hours; there must be a minimum of four samples during a 24-hour
sampling period.

monitored continually except for the infrequent times when there may be no flow or for infrequent maintenance
activities on the flow device.
Daily Discharge
The discharge of a pollutant measured during a calendar day or any 24-hour period that reasonably represents the
calendar day for purposes of sampling. For pollutants measured in units of mass, the "daily discharge" is calculated as
the total mass of the pollutant discharged over the day. The "daily discharge" concentration comprises the mean
concentration for a 24-hour sampling period as either a composite sample concentration or the arithmetic mean of all
grab samples collected during that period. (40 CFR 122.2)
Daily Maximum
The highest "daily discharge" during the calendar month.
Daily Sampling
Parameters requiring daily sampling shall be sampled 5 out of every 7 days per week unless otherwise specified in the
permit. Sampling shall be conducted on weekdays except where holidays or other disruptions of normal operations
prevent weekday sampling. If sampling is required for all seven days of the week for any permit parameter(s), that
requirement will be so noted on the Effluent Limitations and Monitoring Page(s).

Section C. Operation and Maintenance of Pollution Controls
1. Certified Operator
Upon classification of the permitted facility by the Certification Commission, the Permittee shall employ a
certified water pollution control treatment system operator in responsible charge (ORC) of the water pollution
control treatment system. Such operator must hold a certification of the grade equivalent to or greater than the
classification assigned to the water pollution control treatment system by the Certification Commission. The
Permittee must also employ one or more certified Back-up ORCs who possess a currently valid certificate of the
type of the system. Back-up ORCs must possess a grade equal to (or no more than one grade less than) the grade
of the system [15A NCAC 8G.0201].
The ORC of each Class I facility must:
➢ Visit the facility as often as is necessary to insure proper operation of the treatment system; the treatment
facility must be visited at least weekly
➢ Comply with all other conditions of 15A NCAC 8G.0204.
The ORC of each Class II, III and IV facility must:
➢ Visit the facility as often as is necessary to insure proper operation of the treatment system; the treatment
facility must be visited at least five days per week, excluding holidays
➢ Properly manage and document daily operation and maintenance of the facility
➢ Comply with all other conditions of 15A NCAC 8G.0204.
Once the facility is classified, the Permittee shall submit a letter to the Certification Commission designating the
operator in responsible charge:
a. Within 60 calendar days prior to wastewater being introduced into a new system
b. Within 120 calendar days of:
➢ Receiving notification of a change in the classification of the system requiring the designation of a
new ORC and back-up ORC
➢ A vacancy in the position of ORC or back-up ORC.
2. Proper Operation and Maintenance
The Permittee shall at all times provide the operation and maintenance resources necessary to operate the existing
facilities at optimum efficiency. The Permittee shall at all times properly operate and maintain all facilities and
systems of treatment and control (and related appurtenances) which are installed or used by the Permittee to
achieve compliance with the conditions of this permit. Proper operation and maintenance also includes adequate
laboratory controls and appropriate quality assurance procedures. This provision requires the Permittee to install
and operate backup or auxiliary facilities only when necessary to achieve compliance with the conditions of the
permit [40 CFR 122.41 (e)].
NOTE: Properly and officially designated operators are fully responsible for all proper operation and
maintenance of the facility, and all documentation required thereof, whether acting as a contract operator
[subcontractor] or a member of the Permittee's staff.

PART II
STANDARD CONDITIONS FOR NPDES PERMITS
Section A. Definitions
2/Month
Samples are collected twice per month with at least ten calendar days between sampling events. These samples shall be
representative of the wastewater discharged during the sample period.
3/Week
Samples are collected three times per week on three separate calendar days. These samples shall be representative of
the wastewater discharged during the sample period.
Act or "the Act"
The Federal Water Pollution Control Act, also known as the Clean Water Act (CWA), as amended, 33 USC 1251, et.
seq.
Annual Average
The arithmetic mean of all "daily discharges" of a pollutant measured during the calendar year. In the case of fecal
coliform, the geometric mean of such discharges.
Arithmetic Mean
The summation of the individual values divided by the number of individual values.
Bypass
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.
Calendar Day
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.
Calendar Week
The period from Sunday through the following Saturday.
Calendar Quarter
One of the following distinct periods: January through March, April through June, July through September, and
October through December.
Composite Sample
A sample collected over a 24-hour period by continuous sampling or combining grab samples of at least 100 mL in
such a manner as to result in a total sample representative of the wastewater discharge during the sample period. The
Director may designate the most appropriate method (specific number and size of aliquots necessary, the time interval
between grab samples, etc.) on a case -by -case basis. Samples may be collected manually or automatically. Composite
samples may be obtained by the following methods:
(1) Continuous: a single, continuous sample collected over a 24-hour period proportional to the rate of flow.
(2) Constant time/variable volume: 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
(3) Variable time/constant volume: 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
preset gallon interval between sample collection fixed at no greater than 1/24 of the expected total daily flow at
the treatment system, or
Version 1110912011.1

NPDES Permit Standard Conditions
Page 2 of 18
(4) Constant time/constant volume: a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24-hour period at a
constant time interval. Use of this method requires prior approval by the Director. This method may only be
used in situations where effluent flow rates vary less than 15 percent. The following restrictions also apply:
➢ Influent and effluent grab samples shall be of equal size and of no less than 100 milliliters
➢ Influent samples shall not be collected more than once per hour.
➢ Permittees with wastewater treatment systems whose detention time < 24 hours shall collect effluent grab
samples at intervals of no greater than 20 minutes apart during any 24-hour period.
➢ Permittees with wastewater treatment systems whose detention time exceeds 24 hours shall collect effluent
grab samples at least every six hours; there must be a minimum of four samples during a 24-hour sampling
period.
Continuous flow measurement
Flow monitoring that occurs 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.
Daily Discharge
The discharge of a pollutant measured during a calendar day or any 24-hour period that reasonably represents the
calendar day for purposes of sampling. For pollutants measured in units of mass, the "daily discharge" is calculated as
the total mass of the pollutant discharged over the day. For pollutants expressed in other units of measurement, the
"daily discharge" is calculated as the average measurement of the pollutant over the day. (40 CFR 122.2; see also
"Composite Sample," above.)
Daily Maximum
The highest "daily discharge" during the calendar month.
Daily Sampling
Parameters requiring daily sampling shall be sampled 5 out of every 7 days per week unless otherwise specified in the
permit. Sampling shall be conducted on weekdays except where holidays or other disruptions of normal operations
prevent weekday sampling. If sampling is required for all seven days of the week for any permit parameter(s), that
requirement will be so noted on the Effluent Limitations and Monitoring Page(s).
DWR or "the Division"
The Division of Water Resources, Department of Environment and Natural Resources.
Effluent
Wastewater discharged following all treatment processes from a water pollution control facility or other point source
whether treated or untreated.
EMC
The North Carolina Environmental Management Commission
EPA

Facility Closure
Cessation of all activities that require coverage under this NPDES permit. Completion of facility closure will allow this
permit to be rescinded.
Geometric Mean
The Nth root of the product of the individual values where N = the number of individual values. For purposes of
calculating the geometric mean, values of "0" (or "< [detection level]") shall be considered = 1.
Grab Sample
Individual samples of at least 100 mL collected over a period of time not exceeding 15 minutes. Grab samples can be
collected manually. Grab samples must be representative of the discharge (or the receiving stream, for instream
samples).
Version 1110912011.1

NPDES Permit Standard Conditions

Hazardous Substance
Any substance designated under 40 CFR Part 116 pursuant to Section 311 of the CWA.
Instantaneous flow measurement
The flow measured during the minimum time required for the flow measuring device or method.to produce a result in
that instance. To the extent practical, instantaneous flow measurements coincide with the collection of any grab
samples required for the same sampling period so that together the samples and flow are representative of the discharge
during that sampling period.
Monthly Average (concentration limit)
The arithmetic mean of all "daily discharges" of a pollutant measured during the calendar month. In the case of fecal
coliform or other bacterial parameters or indicators, the geometric mean of such discharges.

PART IV
SPECIAL CONDITIONS FOR MUNICIPAL FACILITIES
Section A. Definitions
In addition to the definitions in Part I1 of this permit, the following definitions apply to municipal facilities:
Indirect Discharge or Industrial User
Any non -domestic source that discharges wastewater containing pollutants into a POTW regulated under section
307(b), (c) or (d) of the CWA. [40 CFR 403.3 (i) and 0) and 15A NCAC 02H .0903(b)(11)]
Interference
Inhibition or disruption of the POTW treatment processes; operations; or its sludge process, use, or disposal which
causes or contributes to a violation of any requirement of the Permittee's (or any satellite POTW's if different from the
Permittee) NPDES, collection system, or non -discharge permit or prevents sewage sludge use or disposal in
compliance with specified applicable State and Federal statutes, regulations, or permits. [15A NCAC 02H
.0903(b)(14)]
Pass Through
A discharge which exits the POTW into waters of the State in quantities or concentrations which, alone or with
discharges from other sources, causes a violation, including an increase in the magnitude or duration of a violation, of
the Permittee's (or any satellite POTW's, if different from the Permittee) NPDES, collection system, or non -discharge
permit. [15A NCAC 02H .0903(b)(23)]
Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTW)
A treatment works as defined by Section 212 of the CWA, which is owned by a State or local government organization.
This defmition includes any devices and systems used in the storage, treatment, recycling and reclamation of municipal
sewage or industrial wastes of a liquid nature. It also includes the collection system, as defined in 15A NCAC 2T
.0402, only if it conveys wastewater to a POTW treatment plant. The term also means the local government
organization, or municipality, as defined in section 502(4) of the CWA, which has jurisdiction over indirect discharges
to and the discharges from such a treatment works. In this context, the organization may be the owner of the POTW
treatment plant or the owner of the collection system into which an indirect discharger discharges. This second type of
POTW may be referred to as a "satellite POTW organization." [15A NCAC 02H .0903(b)(26)]
"Significant Industrial User" or "SIU"
An Industrial User that discharges wastewater into a publicly owned treatment works and that [15A NCAC 02H
.0903(b)(33)1:
1. Discharges an average of 25,000 gallons per day or more of process wastewater to the POTW (excluding sanitary,
noncontact cooling and boiler blowdown wastewaters); or
2. Contributes process wastewater which makes up five percent or more of the NPDES or non -discharge permitted
flow limit or organic capacity of the POTW treatment plant. In this context, organic capacity refers to BOD, TSS
and ammonia; or
3. Is subject to categorical standards under 40 CFR Part 403.6 and 40 CFR Parts 405-471; or
4. Is designated as such by the Permittee on the basis that the Industrial User has a reasonable potential for adversely
affecting the POTW's operation or for violating any pretreatment standard or requirement, or the POTW's effluent
limitations and conditions in its NPDES or non -discharge permit, or to limit the POTW's sludge disposal options;
5. Subject to approval under 15A NCAC 02H .0907(b), the Permittee may determine that an Industrial User meeting
the criteria in paragraphs 1 or 2 of this definition above has no reasonable potential for adversely affecting the
POTW's operation or for violating any pretreatment standard or requirement, the POTW's effluent limitations and
conditions in its NPDES or non -discharge permit, or to limit the POTW's sludge disposal options, and thus is not a
Significant Industrial User (SIU); or
6. Subject to approval under 15A NCAC 02H .0907(b), the Permittee may determine that an Industrial User meeting
the criteria in paragraph 3 of this definition above meets the requirements of 40 CFR Part 403.3(v)(2) and thus is a
non -significant categorical Industrial User.
Section B. Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTWs)
Version 1110912011.1

PPPPPF' NPDES Permit Standard Conditions
Page 15 of 18
All POTWs must provide adequate notice to the Director of the following [40 CFR 122.42(b)]:
1. Any new introduction of pollutants into the POTW from an indirect discharger, regardless of the means of
transport, which would be subject to section 301 or 306 of CWA if it were directly discharging those pollutants;
and
2. Any substantial change in the volume or character of pollutants being introduced by an indirect discharger as
influent to that POTW at the time of issuance of the permit.
3. For purposes of this paragraph, adequate notice shall include information on (1) the quality and quantity of effluent
introduced into the POTW, and (2) any anticipated impact that may result from the change of the quantity or
quality of effluent to be discharged from the POTW.
Section C. Municipal Control of Pollutants from Industrial Users.
1. Effluent limitations are listed in Part I of this permit. Other pollutants attributable to inputs from Industrial Users
discharging to the POTW may be present in the Permittee's discharge. At such time as sufficient information
becomes available to establish limitations for such pollutants, this permit may be revised to specify effluent
limitations for any or all of such other pollutants in accordance with best practicable technology or water quality
standards.
2. Prohibited Discharges
a. The Permittee shall develop and enforce their Pretreatment Program to implement the prohibition against the
introduction of pollutants or discharges into the waste treatment system or waste collection system which
cause or contribute to Pass Through or Interference as defined in 15A NCAC 02H .0900 and 40 CFR 403. [40

wastestreams with a closed cup flashpoint of less than 140 degrees Fahrenheit or 60 degrees Centigrade
using the test methods specified in 40 CFR 261.21;
(2) Pollutants which cause corrosive structural damage to the POTW, but in no case discharges with pH lower
than 5.0, unless the works is specifically designed to accommodate such discharges;
(3) Solid or viscous pollutants in amounts which cause obstruction to the flow in the POTW resulting in
Interference;
(4) Any pollutant, including oxygen demanding pollutants (BOD, etc.) released in a Discharge at a flow rate
and/or pollutant concentration which will cause Interference with the POTW;
(5) Heat in amounts which will inhibit biological activity in the POTW resulting in Interference, but in no
case heat in such quantities that the temperature at the POTW Treatment Plant exceeds 40°C (104°F)
unless the Division, upon request of the POTW, approves alternate temperature limits;
(6) Petroleum oil, non -biodegradable cutting oil, or products of mineral oil origin in amounts that will cause
Interference or Pass Through;
(7) Pollutants which result in the presence of toxic gases, vapors, or fumes within the POTW in a quantity that
may cause acute worker health and safety problems; or
(8) Any trucked or hauled pollutants, except at discharge points designated by the POTW.
c. The Permittee shall investigate the source of all discharges into the POTW, including slug loads and other
unusual discharges, which have the potential to adversely impact the Permittee's Pretreatment Program and/or
the operation of the POTW.
The Permittee shall report such discharges into the POTW to the Director or the appropriate Regional Office.
Any information shall be provided orally within 24 hours from the time the Permittee became aware of the
circumstances. A written submission shall also be provided within 5 days of the time the Permittee becomes
aware of the circumstances. The written submission shall contain a description of the discharge; the

Section D: Summary of Finding/Comments (Attach additional sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary)
A cursory evaluation of the facility indicated compliance with the permit.
One item noted that may need attention is stormwater run-on to the sandfilter bed. The sandfilter bed is at
the bottom of a hill and one corner of the sandfilter bed is almost level with the ground. The facility needs to
make sure when it rains that stormwater is not able to flow onto the sand filter bed.

Present for inspection were Cecil Cline; Tony Setzer, Keith Johnson and Mike Bradshaw with Shuford
Yarns, Jerry Younce with Water Tech (ORC/Lab) and Dan Boss with. DWR.
An inspection of the Non -Contact Cooling Water (NCG500321) was also performed. As noted in that
inspection report Shuford staff indicated that the Air Compressor Cooling Tower water discharges to
the Wastewater Septic/Sand filter system and not directly to the creek. This needs to be verified and
quantified.
Flows are estimated by water usage. (City Water). The quantity of water being discharged through the
Cooling Water discharge pipe and the Wastewater discharge pipes is unclear. An estimate needs to
be obtained during sampling events at each discharge pipe.

Section D: Summary of Finding/Comments (Attach additional sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary)
Present for inspection were Cecil Cline, Tony Setzer, Keith Johnson and Mike Bradshaw with Shuford
Yarns, Jerry.Younce with Water Tech (ORC/Lab) and Dan Boss with DWR.
Site plan reviewed is dated 3/25/1996. The site plan does not appear to be accurate any longer and
needs to be updated.
Shuford Yarn staff indicated Point A (Air Compressor Cooling Tower) on the site plan discharges to the
Wastewater Septic/Sand filter system and not directly to the creek.
Staff also indicated the Cooling components. associated with Point C are directed to the treatment area
near point B on the South side of the property and discharge to the creek after de -chlorination.
This area of the facility was inspected and staff were instructed to determine where flows from the
concrete pipe (-18-24") were coming from and where the floor drains in the "air wash" room go.
Staff indicate the chemicals approved on the Biocide sheets are still being used, except AWT is no
longer used.
Analytical data reviewed (2015-2016) indicated compliance, however items noted below need to be
undertaken.
Flows are estimated by water usage (City Water). It is not clear how much of this water is being
discharged through the Cooling Water discharge pipe and the Wastewater discharge pipes. An
estimate needs to be obtained during sampling events at each discharge pipe.
Total Residual Chlorine (TRC) at the cooling water effluent discharge pipe is required.
We discussed the annual maintenance of cooling equipment and the potential for a pollutant load to be
discharged during this activity, such as,increased flows and concentrated chemicals/metals.
Sampling during this -activity should take place to evaluate if effluent limits are met: If staff find limits are
not met during such activities, contact the inspector to discuss what measures the facility plans to put
in place to remediate pollutant load.

Dear Mr. Davidson:

We received the above referenced Notice of Violation and are submitting this written response to that
violation. We have implemented a couple of remedial actions to insure this does not occur again. We
discovered that we had one sewer manhole that was allowing rain water runoff into it that led to much
more water than normal going through the septic tank and sand filter system. We raised the height of
this manhole to assure this does not happen again. We had significant rainfalls during the early parts of
April when this flooding of the manhole occurred and this was promptly corrected. As you can see on
the DMR for April the flow rates returned to normal the latter half of the month after this was
corrected. We have also installed a counter on the septic tank bell siphon chamber to accurately
determine how many times the bell siphon flushes to determine the amount of water being discharged
through the system. We take very seriously our environmental responsibilities and are certain these
corrections will prevent any further issues. I have enclosed a photo of the new counter installed and the
raised manhole. If you have any further questions concerning this matter, please contact me at 828-381-
1637.
