RE: Review of Draft NPDES Permit for the Laurinburg-Maxton
Airport Commission Wastewater Treatment Plant
Dear Mr. Benton:
We have enclosed our comments regarding your original draft
of the LMAC NPDES permit. We look forward to discussing
these with you at our 3:30 meeting next Wednesday,
December 10, 1986.
Sincerely,

Effluent Limitations and Monitoring Requirements
Comments on First Table of Draft Permit (Page M3)
On the basis of observed toxic effects to freshwater organisms and
established standards for fresh surface waters in North Carolina, the
discharge limitations for total residual chlorine, sodium and chloride
appear somewhat more conservative than necessary. Using the NCDEM
(July 1986) procedures, the lowest LC50 found for chlorine (0.23 mg/1,
96 hour RBT, Basch, 1971) would yi,eld,a.no-effect-chronic-1evel of
0.01 mg/1 or a discharge limit of :7;: 1. The North Carolina
promulgates Administrative Code (NCAC, 1986)romultes no chlorine standard
9
other than 2.0 mg/1 for trout waters (15 NCAC 2B.0211). The only LC50
found for sodium (1,640 mg/1, 48 hour Daphnia magna, Biesinger and_
Christensen, 1972) would yield...a no -effect -chronic -level of*?:,,mg/1 or
a discharge limit of about $O 000 1b/day. There is no NCAC standard
for sodium. For chloride, the only NCAC standard is 250 mg/1 for
Class WS Waters. If this were applied to the LMAC discharge,
allowance for dilution would yield an effluent limit of about 184,000
lb/day.
Recommendation
The discharge limitations for chlorine, sodium, and chloride should be
no more restrictive than 1.7 mg/1, 4000 lb/day, and 184,000 lb/day,
respectively.��r;=.,
Comments on Chemical List (Pages 1-6)
The list of chemicals presented on pages one through six of the draft
permit is reproduced with our comments added on the following pages.
The notation NA indicates that GSX will not be accepting D, F, or K
waste codes associated with these constituents at the Laurinburg
facility. In addition, there are other chemicals, such as some drugs,
for which there is no indication that the GSX facility would be
receiving them. Certain chemicals on the list are noted as being
unstable in water (USEPA, 1982 et seq.) and at least one (asbestos) is
a solid. There also appears to be several instances of typographical
errors, duplicative entries, non-standard chemical notation,
contradictory limits, and limits that are less than published
detection limits.
Although time was not available to review toxicity data for all
chemicals listed, some specific concerns were noted. In general,
allowing for a dilution factor of 176 (from 7Q10 river flow of 135 cfs
plus LMAC discharge of 1 MGD), daily maximum end of pipe limits are
consistently more conservative than calculated water quality standards
for those chemicals for which the North Carolina Department of Natural
Resources and Community Development (NRCD) has determined No -Effect -
Chronic -Levels (NRCD, April 1986 and October 1986). Similarly, end of
pipe limits are consistantly more conservative than established North
Carolina Water Quality Standards (NCAC, 1986). It seems reasonable,
since Water Quality Standards are based upon chronic toxicity values
(15 NCAC 2B .0208), that when there are no overriding health concerns,
the monthly average end of pipe limits should be established to pro-
vide an Instream Waste Concentration at 7Q10 flow conditions equal to
established Water Quality Standards or No -Effect -Chronic -Levels. It
also should be noted that the June 19, 1986 ammendments to the Safe
Drinking Water Act mandates the establishment of Maximum Contaminant
Levels (MCLs) for 83 contaminants. As these MCLs are promulgated,
end -of -pipe limits should be adjusted to reflect instream waste
concentrations equal to the MCLs.
For some chemicals, such as noted for 2,4,6-Trichlorophenol and
Cobalt, the end -of -pipe limits given are not adequate to assure
protection of human health or the environment.
Many of the compounds listed will be limited on the RCRA permit for
the GSX facility. Repeating these substances on the LMAC NPDES permit
would be an unnecessary redundancy unless water quality standards are
more stringent.
Recommendations
Only those chemicals expected to be received or discharged by the
industries discharging to the LMAC WWTP, that reasonably may be
expected to survive in aqueous solution, and that are not already
limited in the GSX RCRA permit should be included on this list.

Toxicity Reopener
Recommendation
This paragraph states that the permit "shall be modified, or revoked
and reissued..." if it is indicated that "detrimental effects may be
expected..." In consideration of the positive intent at the beginning
of the sentence, we suggest that the end be rewritten to read
"detrimental effects are occurring in the receiving stream as a result
of this discharge."
Limitations Reopenei
Comment
Paragraph H is poorly written and may result in a misinterpretation of
intent.
Recommendation
It is recommended that paragraph H be rewritten as follows:
"This permit may be modified, or revoked and reissued, to
incorporate new limitations in the event the discharge of an
industry is connected to this treatment works that causes a change
in the wastewater characteristics entering the treatment works
that results in a demonstrated adverse impact on the Lumber
River."
Toxicity Limitations and Monitoring Requirements
Comments
Five effluent concentrations approximating a geometric series around
the Instream Waste Concentration (IWC) should be adequate to assure
that the Ceriodaphnia Chronic Value (ChV) does not fall within the
immediate range of concentrations surrounding the 7Q10 IWC. However,
since values below the IWC will not provide any additional information
if the ChV is greater than 1.4%, we suggest that the 0.4% test con-
centration be replaced with a 12% concentration. By this modifica-
tion, should toxic effects persist in the diluted effluent, there
would be a greater chance of observing a Lowest -Observed -Effect -
Concentration (LOEC). While this will not increase the precision of
the test, it will increase the likelyhood that the true value of
No -Observed -Effect -Level (NOEL) can be estimated, and will provide
additional information in the form of an early warning of any
variation in chronic toxicity before such toxicity reaches a level of
concern to the Lumber River.
The inclusion of a single exposure treatment in 95% effluent with
Ceriodaphnia seems both unnecessary and superfluous when weekly
chronic tests are being conducted simultaneously. Any acute toxicity
that would affect Ceriodaphnia in the Lumber River would show up at
the 7Q10 IWC as well as at the two or three higher concentrations in
the geometric concentration series. Since the test would fail if
either reproduction or survival at the 1.4% effluent concentration was
significantly different from results obtained from control organisms
at the same concentration, and chronic mortality that is detected over
the full seven day test is a more rigorous endpoint than 20% mortality
at 95% effluent after only 48 hours, we propose that the 95% "control
exposure treatment" be eliminated from the testing requirements.
The present draft permit requires survival tests for acute effects at
high effluent concentrations with both Ceriodaphnia dubia and
Pimephales promelas. However, no more than 20% mortality in at least
95% effluent after 48 hours exposure is allowed for Ceriodaphnia,
while no more than 10% mortality in 100% effluent after 96 hours is
allowed for the fathead minnow. There is no ecological nor toxi-
cological justification for having different survival requirements for
fish and crustaceans in a mixed waste effluent.
We also feel that the survival requirements for acute effects are set
at unnecessarily conservative levels in the present draft permit.
This conclusion is based in part on input received from the North
Carolina Department of Natural Resources and Community Development
(NRCD). In the GSX Pretreated Wastewater Discharge Permit Applica-
tion, the Bioassay Testing Protocols outlined on page 5-6 proposed 50%
survival as an acceptable value in effluent concentrations greater
than 90%. This proposal was drafted to be consistent with all of our
previous discussions with NRCD representatives. Furthermore, in the
September 1985 toxicity examination report for the Laurinburg/Maxton
Airport WWTP prepared by NRCD, LC50 values ranging from 71% to 89% for
Da hnia pulex and 100% for the fathead minnow led to the conclusion
t at, during either 7Q10 or average stream flows, "the effluent is not
predicted to cause any significant damage to biological communities in
the Lumber River." Since an observed mortality of 50% in an average
effluent concentration as low as 80% is considered by NRCD to be
"negated by the dilution received as it enters the Lumber River," it
seems reasonable that the draft LMAC NPDES Permit should require no
more than 50% mortality in at least 90% effluent after 96 hours of
exposure using the fathead minnow in monthly daily renewal toxicity
tests.
Summary of Recommendations on Toxicity
Limitations and Monitoring Requirements
1. Use effluent concentrations of 0.7, 1.4, 3, 6, and 12% for the
Ceriodaphnia survival and reproduction test.
2. Eliminate the 0.4 and 95% effluent concentrations from the
Ceriodaphnia test.
3. Require no more than 50% mortality in at least 90% effluent after
96 hours of exposure in the Pimephales promelas survival test.
Biological Monitoring
Comments
Specific requirements also occur in Section A(1) of the permit, as a
footnote to the first table. The last sentence in paragraph K is not
clear and is too open for a wide range of interpretation.
Recommendations
Assure that there are no redundancies or contradictions between
Section A(1) and paragraph K, and include in paragraph K all specific
monitoring and reporting requirements.
Permit Reopeners
Recommendations
We suggest that the wording of the first sentence be modified as
underlined in the following: "This Permit may be modified, or
alternatively revoked and reissued, to incorporate new effluent
limitations and monitoring requirements into this permit if a problem
is identifed in the event:"
To make clear that Items 8 and 9 following the above opening sentence
refer to promulgated standards only, we suggest that the phrase "safe
drinking water levels" is changed to read "Safe Drinking Water
Standards" in each case.

MEMORANDUM
TO: R. Paul Wilms
FROM: George T. Everett
SUBJECT: Preliminary Draft NPDES Permit
Laurinburg-Maxton Airport Authority (LMAC)
NPDES No. NC0044725
As requested, the staff of the Water Quality Section has prepared a
preliminary draft version of the LMAC, NPDES permit which includes all
present indirect discharges as well as the proposed GSX facility.
This draft permit has been prepared in such a manner as to allow the
best possible assurance that the intended and classified uses of the Lumber
River would be protected. To provide this assurance, limits were derived to
protect the "C" classification at the discharge point and "WSIII" as the
Lumber River is a drinking water source for the City of Lumberton, North
Carolina. The regulatory support for this approach is included in 15 NCAC
2B.0203 which states "In cases where treated sewage, industrial wastes or
other wastes including those from nonpoint sources are directly or indi-
rectly allowed to enter into waters which are assigned a different classi-
fication than the waters into which such receiving waters flow, the
standards applicable to the waters which receive such wastes shall be
supplemented by the following: The quality of any waters receiving sewage,
industrial wastes or other wastes shall be such that no impairment of the
best usage of waters in any other class shall occur by reason of such
waste".
As you can see, the parameters for which effluent limits have been
developed and/or for which monitoring is required, is quite comprehensive.
Yet, these compounds which have been included are either known or suspected
to be in the wastewater based on information available to the Division.
That information includes:
Categorical standards for current indirect discharges;
Compounds to be received and treated by GSX;
Compounds detected by Divisional evaluations of current wastewater;
Compounds detected at a similar facility as GSX, in New York State;
Applicable water quality standards and or compounds of concern.
As stated previously, permit conditions have been designed for the
protection of class "C" waters and "WSIII" waters as provided by 15 NCAC
2B.0203. Both aquatic life and human health criteria were evaluated and the
most restrictive of the two criteria was employed to establish permit limi-
tations. Drinking water or human health criteria has been provided by DHR
as preliminary only, and criteria for each compound is still under review.
Aquatic life criteria were derived from existing water quality standards as
specified in 15 NCAC 2B.0200. In addition, for those compounds where suf-
ficient data is not available to adopt statewide numerical concentration, 15
NCAC 2B.0208 was employed to develop aquatic life protection criteria.
Applicable parts of 15 NCAC 2B.0208(a) state: "The concentration of toxic
substances in the receiving water, (either alone or in combination, when
affirmatively demonstrated to be non bioaccumulative) when not specified
elsewhere in this Section, shall not exceed the concentration specified by
the fraction of the 96-hour LC value which predicts a no effect chronic
level. If an acceptable acute/chronic ration is not available, then that
toxic substance shall not exceed 0.01 of the 96-hours LC50 or if it is
affirmatively demonstrated that a toxic substance has a Half life of less
than 96 hours or is not bioaccumulative, the maximum concentration shall not
exceed 0.05 of the 96-hour LC50".
In addition for compounds that are listed as substances requiring
special attention (NCAC 2B.0208(b)) "Appropriation limitations shall be set
based on the evaluations and/or criteria specified in paragraph (a) of this
rule.
Whereas, we have developed numerical limitations for numerous com-
pounds, it should be noted that these limitations were based on zero back-
ground levels. LMAC is currently involved in a headworks evaluation to
characterize wastewater at the facility as well as background assessment of
the Lumber River. Also, we have used draft information from GSX as to the
compounds they intend to accept and treat. These lists have changed over
time and final permit inclusions will be based on any revised list from LMAC
or GSX.
Drinking water criteria as provided in this preliminary draft permit
are still under review by DHR and several of our aquatic life criteria are
also in the additional review process.
The list of compounds either to be limited and/or monitored is quite
extensive. We are continuing our evaluation, with the assistance of labo-
ratory personnel, as to the appropriate analytical methods for quantitative
determination and a review of those compounds which cannot be analyzed by
our laboratory for compliance purposes because of equipment needs.
Whereas, GSX has proposed monitoring of their indirect discharge to
the LMAC facility, we feel it essential that we concentrate our controls at
the river discharge point in addition to any indirect discharger monitoring
because of the multiple waste sources to this POTW.
This draft is being provided for your ;review and discussion. Whereas,
the details, limits, etc. are subject to modification as we continue our
review, our over all approach is fairly clear as to how we wish to proceed
technically.
Upon your review, please advise if you wish to discuss.

Permit No. NC
B. SCHEDULE OF COMPLIANCE
1. The permittee shall achieve compliance with the effluent
limitations specified for discharges in accordance with the
folllowing schedule:
4. No later than 14 calendar days following a date identified in
the above schedule of compliance, the permittee shall submit
either a report of progress or, in the case of specific actions
being required by identified dates, a written notice of
compliance or noncompliance. In the latter case, the notice
shall include the cause of noncompliance, any remedial actions
taken, and the probability of meeting the next scheduled
requirement.
Permit No. INIC1010
C. MONITORING AND REPORTING
1. Representative Sampling
Samples collected and measurements taken as required herein
shall• be characteristic of the volume and nature of the
permitted discharge. Samples collected at a frequency less
than daily shall be taken on a day and time that is
characteristic of the discharge over the entire period which
the sample represents.
2. Reporting
Monitoring results obtained during the previous month(s)
shall be summarized for each month and reported on a monthly
Discharge Monitoring Report (DMR) Form (DEM No. MR 1, 1.1,
2, 3,) or alternative forms approved by the Director, DEM,
postmarked no later than the 30th day following the
completed reporting period.
The first DMR is due on the last day of the month following
the issuance of the permit or in the case of a new facility,
on the last day of the month following the commencement of
discharge. Duplicate signed copies of these, and all other
reports required herein, shall be submitted to the following
address:
Division of Environmental Management
Water Quality Section
ATTN: Central Files
Post Office Box 27687
Raleigh, NC 27611
3. Definitions
a. Act or "the Act": The Federal Water Pollution Control
Act, also know as the Clean Water Act, as amended, 33 U.S.C.
1251, et. seq.
b. The monthly average, other than for fecal coliform
bacteria, is the arithmetic mean of all the samples
collected in one calendar month. The monthly average for
fecal coliform bacteria is the geometric mean of samples
collected in one calendar month.
c. The weekly average, other than for fecal coliform
bacteria, is the arithmetic mean of all the samples
collected during one calendar week (Sun -Sat). The weekly
average for fecal coliform bacteria is the geometric mean of
all samples collected in one calendar week (Sun -Sat)-.
M 5
Permit No. ;NIC;010
d. DEM or Division: means the Division of Environmental
Management, Department of Natural Resources and Community
Development.
e. EMC: used herein means the North Carolina Environmental
Management Commission.
f. Flow, M3/day (MGD): The flow limit expressed in this
permit is the 24 hour average flow, averaged monthly. It is
determined as the arithmetic mean of the total daily flows
recorded during the calendar month.
g. Arithmetic Mean: The arithmetic mean of any set of
values is the summation of the individual values divided by
the number of individual values.
h. 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) .
i. 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

MEMORANDUM
TO: George T. Everett
FROM: Steve W. Tedder
SUBJECT: Preliminary Draft NPDES Permit
Lau ri nburg-Maxto n Airport Authority
NC0044725
As requested, the staff of the Water Quality Section has prepared
a very preliminary draft version of the LMAC permit with GSX as an
indirect discharge to the LMAC, POTW.
As you can see, we have written this permit to allow the best
possible assurance that the intended and classified uses of the Lumber
River would be protected. The compounds either limited or for which
monitoring are required are based on the following:
A. Categorical Standards for indirect discharges;
B. Compounds to be received and treated by GSX;
C. Intensive Bioassay Evaluation Report (DEM);
D. Compounds found at similar facility in New York State;
E. Applicable water quality standards.
Based on the information we have, each of these compounds may be
in the LMAC wastewaters. The list of compounds to be handled by GSX
has changed several times so this list is yet to be finalized as this
is a very early draft.
In addition, as we are to protect for aquatic life and in this
case, there is a drinking water supply downstream, we have also
included drinking water criteria in our evaluations and limitations.
As we are still awaiting comments and recommendations from DHR, these
limits are also subject to change. Where water quality and drinking
water standards were applicable, we chose to use the most restrictive
criteria of the two for limitation purposes.
George Everett
September 5, 1986
- page two -
Whereas, GSX has proposed substantial monitoring of their dis-
charge, it is essential that we concentrate our controls at the river
discharge point. Potential interaction of the multiple waste sources
of this POTW should necessitate extensive limits and monitoring at
the discharge of LMAC.
This draft is for review and discussion. Whereas the details,
numbers, etc. are subject to modification as we review more thoroughly,
our overall concept is fairly clear as to how we wish to proceed
technically.
Upon your review, we will meet with appropriate water quality
staff to discuss.

NPDES Permit #:
1.) The permittee shall conduct chronic toxicity tests on a weekly
basis using protocols defined in E.P.A. Document 600/4-85/014
entitled "Short -Term Methods for Estimating the Chronic Toxicity
of Effluents and Receiving Waters to Freshwater Organisms". The
testing shall be performed as a Ceriodaphnia Survival and Repro-
duction Test. Effluent collection will be performed as daily
24 hour composite samples. Effluent samples will be taken immed-
iately prior to disinfection, but after all other treatment processes.
The Chronic Value (ChV) must be greater than 1.4%. There will be
minimally five effluent concentrations and a control exposure treat-
ment. One effluent concentration shall equal 1.4%, which represents
the instream waste concentration (I.W.C.) during 7Q10 low flow con-
ditions and daily permitted discharge volume. The remaining concen-
trations shall be 0.4, 0.7, 3, 6 and 95%. There may not be more than
20% mortality in at least 95% effluent after 48 hours of exposure.
2.) The permittee shall conduct monthly 96 hour acute static daily
renewal toxicity tests using protocols defined in E.P.A. Document
600/4-85/013 entitled "Methods for Measuring the Acute Toxicity of
Effluents to Freshwater and Marine Organisms". The testing shall
be performed as a Pimephales promelas Survival Test. Effluent
collection will be performed as 24 hour composite samples.
Note: Failure to achieve test conditions as specified in the cited
documents, such as minimum control organism survival and appropriate
environmental controls, shall constitute an invalid test and will
require immediate retesting. Failure to submit suitable test results
will constitute a permit violation.

Numerical Criteria for Human Health Protection
(Drinking Water) for Laurinburg-Maxton Airport
Commission (LMAC) Wastewater Treatment Plant
We are preparing a draft NPDES permit for LMAC presuming
that GSX will be contributing waste to their system. In order to
incorporate drinking water protection for Lumberton into the
permit, we need numerical drinking water criteria for chemicals
to be treated by GSX and other chemicals likely to be found in
their effluent. We understand that these.numbers are still being
developed and modified but presently need numbers for a "draft"
permit. There will be an opportunity for you to modify these
numbers in the future. Also, we will include a reopener in the
permit to reflect additional data as they become available.
Specifically, we need to know whether the "Promulgated or Derived
MCL at Lumberton Intake (ug/1)" from the GSX report entitled
"Development of Discharge Concentrations Based on Aquatic
Toxicity and Human Health Criteria - 8/21/86" can be used for
this purpose subject to future modification.
Other available numerical criteria could also be cited for
our use in the draft permit. We plan to use the more restrictive
numbers (human health or aquatic life based) in developing permit
limits for LMAC if GSX is in place. Any guidance you can provide
by September 4, 1986, would be helpful.

Dear Mr. Floyd:
The Division of Environmental Management received a copy of Mr.
Nelson V. Mossholder's May 7, 1986 letter to you about the proposed GSX
discharge to the Laurinburg Maxton Sewage Treatment Plant. We feel that
several points in the letter are unclear and perhaps misleading. I am
writing today to clarify the State's perspective on GSX and the assimi-
lative capacity of the_Lumber River.
The State of North Carolina has been delegated authority by the
Environmental Protection Agency for issuing NPDES permits to all dis-
chargers of waste to the surface waters of the state. NPDES permits
contain effluent limitations calculated to protect the water quality
standards of the receiving stream under low flow design conditions.
The design flow specified in our regulations.is the average 7 day low
flow that has a probability of reoccurring once every 10 years (the
7Q10). Assimilative capacity is allocated on a first come, first
served basis.
Effluent limits for Laurinburg Maxton (LMAC) with GSX as an indirect
discharger will allocate all of the available assimilative capacity for
specified toxic substances in the Lumber River unless DEM is requested
to do otherwise. For example, the water quality standard for lead in
the Lumber River is 25 ug/1. Effluent limitations for LMAC (with GSX)
will be calculated to produce a stream concentration of exactly 25 ug/1
during 7Q10 conditions and permitted flow. Background lead concentrations

will be factored into the analysis. If a new discharger was to request
permission to discharge lead to the river after the LMAC permit was
issued, DEM would have to first reduce the allowable loading from LMAC.
The necessary permit renegotiating could be time consuming and difficult.
If LMAC was out of compliance with the assigned limit, new development
would be delayed until they could demonstrate that they could reduce
their discharge.
Mr. Mossholder describes several conservative assumptions made in
GSX's calculations of discharge concentrations. If his analysis is
correct, GSX could accept limits more restrictive than those required
to protect water quality. However, DEM cannot take any of his arguments
into consideration in our permit analysis, and thereby "reserve" some of
the river's assimilative capacity for toxicants, unless we are formally
requested to do so by LMAC.
I hope this letter clarifies the Division's procedures for allocating
assimilative capacity. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate
to contact George Everett, the Water Quality Section Chief, at 919-733-5083.
Sincerely,
R. Paul Wilms

I am responding to your requests for contacts in
other communities where GSX has . facilites and for an
explanation of why the treated water discharge from our
proposed Laurinburg Facility would not "use up" the
available capacity of the Lumber River and thus reduce
future economic development.
The contacts at other GSX Facilities are:

*Charlie Ralph - Robertson County Chamber

The Chamber and others have expressed concern that
the GSX discharge will result in the concentrations of many
constituants being elevated to the maximum levels the river
can safely receive and thereby will restrict economic growth
by preventing any additional loadings by other industries.
Page 2.

The GSX Permit Application for the discharge of
pretreated wastewater clearly shows that this is not the
case. The methods GSX used to arrive at some suggested
limits for possible components of its discharge were very
conservative and provide for protection of the river while
not restricting other industrial discharges. Appendix D-5
of the application to discharge pretreated wastewater
presents the methods and rationale used to arrive at the
suggested pretreatment limits. Some key, highly
conservative assumptions were explained in that appendix
which substantiate the statement that GSX's dischrage will
not elevate any constituants to the maximum level the river
can receive.
The first highly conservative assumption was that
every batch discharge of treated water would contain the
maximum allowable level of every permitted constituant. As
the permit application explains, waste shipments received
from many kinds of industries will be treated individually
in batches. Therefore, the treated wastewater, also
discharged in batches, could not contain all the permitted
constituants in every batch simply because of the variable
sources and characteristics of the wastes received for.
treatment. Some batches of water could contain the maximum
allowable concentrations of some constituants, but over time
the Laurinburg Maxton Sewage Treatment Plant (LMAC) and the
Lumber River will actually be receiving a safe, average
level of constituants that will be substantially lower than
the maximum levels. Nevertheless, GSX has conservatively
used the maximum levels instead of the more 'realistic
average levels for its computations of loadings to the LMAC
and the Lumber River.
AM
The second_�i Conservative assumption was that
the LMAC would provide absolutely no treatment of any of the
constituants and that the GSX waste water would only be
diluted by the other POTW wastewaters. EPA surveys of
Publically Owned Treatment Works (POTW's) have demonstrated
that an average removal of over 75 percent of heavy metals
can be expected by POTWs using the activated sludge process
used _by LMAC. In a&ition, 75 percent of the volatile
organic compounts (VOC) that may remain in GSX wastewater
can also be expecterd to be removed by the LMAC plant. GSX
calculations have been highly conservative by not taking any
credit for the continued treatment that will be afforded by
the LMAC POTW treatment system.
A third "safety factor" assumption was that
constituants reaching the Lumber River would not be reduced
in concentration during the approximately 7 days required
for the water to reach Lumberton. That is, no allowance was
provided for any decrease or removal of any constituant
after it reached the river. This approach ignores the
natural reduction of constituant concentrations that will
occur from the following phenomena:

Furthermore, suggested limits on GSX discharges are
based on concentrations in the river at low flow conditions
(7Q10), rather than on the average flow which is about six
(6) times greater.
Finally, it should be noted that a number of the
suggested constituant limits are based on criteria more
stringent that N.C. water quality standards or drinking
water standards. For example, metals such as chromium and
lead have suggested limits at GSX that are based on
categorical pretreatment standard guidelines and toxic'
threshold concea., for'; POTWs, respectively...
Therefore, many of 'he suggested -limits for GSX discharges
are based on criteria more stringent than riverine
standards, which means they are to be discharged at levels
below those required for protecting the river environment.
•
In summary, —the -ipuggested GSX discharge limits do
not come close to approaching the„capacity of the river to
accept these constituants. If the extremely conservative
GSX assumptions were replaced by more realistic, but still
conservative, estimates, it can be shown that the river has
the capacity to receive over 5 times the levels GSX has
suggested for its limits. For example, if the average
discharge contained as much as 70% of the maximum specified
limits, and the LMAC POTW removed only 60% of those
constituants, and the Lumber River provided further removals
of. only 30% of the remaining levels, then the river loading
would be less than 20% of that allowedin the highly
conservative GSX calculations. That is, under these
realistic estimates, GSX would utilize less than 20% of the
rivers capacity. These calculations did not even allow for
the fact that many constituants (eg., heavy metals) meet
criteria even more stringent than water quality or drinking
water standards. Therefore, even these "realistic
estimates" are still very conservative.

Subject: Preliminary analysis of GSX Pretreatment Application
I have listed the major shortcomings that I have found for
the GSX Pretreatment Application as they pertain to water
quality. I think that GSX [and DEM] would have to address these
points before we could tell LMAC that GSX's facility would be
acceptable from a water quality standpoint. A more detailed memo
follows this summary.
1. Acute toxicity - Based on the NY plants, GSX's effluent
will probably be acutely toxic to Daphnia. Both DEM and GSX have
agreed that no acutely toxic effluent would be released to LMAC
because LMAC is already marginally toxic. To demonstrate that
they could comply with this provision, GSX or DEM would have to
arrange for effluent sampling from the New York plants.
2. Water Quality Standards - Based on the NY data, we will
need to develop 24 additional water quality standards. I have
begun this work.
3. Pretreatment Limits - GSX has suggested pretreatment
limits based on the most restrictive of pretreatment categorical
limits, toxic threshold levels, water quality standards and
drinking water standards. GSX's calculations for the later two
are wrong and need to be corrected. Meg Kerr and I tried to
duplicate their results unsuccessfully. Also, these limits
assume zero as background in the LMAC effluent and Lumber River.
After reviewing STORET and LMAC data, it appears that DEM and
LMAC will need to collect substantial amounts of toxicant data
(low level metals and organics) in order to decide what are
proper background levels. Organic sampling (especially
pesticides) should be done for several seasons. The final
problem with GSX's pretreatment limits is that for three
chemicals (Pb, Ni and heptachlor), NY effluent concentrations are
regularly higher and GSX would be expected to regularly exceed
these limits. GSX would be expected to occassionally exceed
limits for four other compounds (As, Cd, Zn and endosulfan) even
assuming zero background in the Lumber River or at LMAC.
4. Chemical monitoring - GSX identified 12 pass -through
compounds, 11 which could bioaccumulate, 17 which could
accumulate in sludge and 19 carcinogens. I have identified 77
pass-throughs, 117 bioaccumulators, and 44 sludge accumulators.
Based on these findings, frequent chemical monitoring (at least
initially) is essential to protect water Quality. GSX's
2
monitoring proposal is too infrequent.
• 5. Plant design - GSX will probably
plant to include a) activated carbon use
filters to protect the carbon units, c)
filter as backup, and d) more holding
order to have enough capacity to allow
testing.
b) Other issues -
need to redesign their
on every batch, b) sand
an additional carbon
tanks (at least two) in
for 48 hour Daphnia
A) Does DEM (at least initially) want to review the
bioassay and chemical data from GSX or rely on LMAC to do so?
B) GSX says that they will not accept PCB's or
multi -chlorinated benzene compounds but does not say how they
will test for these in incoming wastes.
C) A detailed flow model of the Lumber River is
essential to protect Lumberton's drinking water source.
D) The stormwater management plan seems inadequate -
due to lack of storage capacity.
In summary, GSX's proposal falls short of assuring protection
of LMAC, aquatic life in the Lumber River and Lumberton's
drinking water source. The most difficult issues for GSX to meet
will be acute toxicity; the chemical monitoring necessary to
ensure protection of LMAC, the' Lumber River and Lumberton;
pretreatment limits; and plant design. Most of these problems
relate to the location of GSX (into a marginally toxic POTW and
above a drinking water source). It is likely that a hazardous
waste treatment facility could be acceptably located in North
Carolina if these locational problems were avoided.
DETAILED COMMENTS ON GSX PRETREATMENT PERMIT APPLICATION.
I. Acute Toxicity
• DEM has stated and GSX has agreed that their effluent to the
LMAC plant will not be acutely toxic (LC50 > 90'/. effluent). This
was done to prevent any worsening of the already toxic LMAC
plant. If GSX's effluent were acutely toxic, it would make the
LMAC effluent more toxic.
The SCA plant in NY discharges directly into the Niagara
River after a treatment process similar to GSX except that the
SCA plant holds its treated effluent in large lagoons for up to a
year before discharge. Their NPDES permit requires bioassay
testing. Their effluent is not acutely toxic to fathead minnows
or rainbow trout. However, it is consistently acutely toxic to
Daphnia, Magna (LC50 of 51 to 70% effluent). NY state officials
and SCA personnel think that is caused by dissolved salts (ave.
9.8 mg/1 total dissolved salts) rather than by toxicants.
However, DEM's experience is that Daphnia, are quite tolerant of
salt in these levels. A more likely cause of toxicity is the
high nickel levels (ave. 1.43 mg/1) and additive effects of low
levels of organic compounds and other metals. In any case, it
appears that the GSX effluent will be acutely toxic to Daphnia,
and will, therefore, increase toxicity problems at the LMAC. One
would expect that GSX's effluent would be more acutely toxic than
SCA because GSX will not hold its effluent in ponds for months.
No bioassays have been run at the indirect dischargers (CECOS and
Frontier) in New York which are more similar (in design) to GSX.
GSX and/or DEM should arrange to have two or more effluent
samples taken from the indirect dischargers in NY to be tested
for acute toxicity to Daphnia. If they are toxic, GSX should
explain in detail how they will remove this toxicity in order to
meet the acute toxicity limit they have agreed upon.
In general, GSX seems to place too much reliance on Microtox
as an eventual test. We should reemphasize that Microtox may
work but that we consider that adequate bioassay testing will
require Daphnia and fathead minnows. GSX's available holding
tanks and plant design should reflect this position. Their
process for DEM and LMAC acceptance of the Microtox test is
unclear (pg. 5-5). Before we agree on a process to decide
whether Microtox is acceptable, we will need a clarification of
their plan. They do not state what will happen if Microtox does
not prove to be acceptable. We need them to state that, in this
case, Daphnia and minnow testing will be done on each batch.
Finally, in their discharge management plan (pg 5-1), GSX states
that "LMAC will be able to approve" rather than saying that LMAC
(and/or) DEM will have to approve discharge. This distinction
should be made very clear to GSX and LMAC.
II. Water Quality Standards
Based on data on toxicants from similar facilities in New
York state, DEM will need to develop water quality standards for
24 additional compounds which are often present in effluents from
the New York plants. Those chemicals are aluminum; barium;
chloroform; methylene chloride; 1,2-dichloroethane;
trichloroethylene; 1,1,2,2-tetrachloroethane; carbon
tetrachloride; tetrachloroethylene; 1,1-dichloroethane; vinyl
chloride; isophorone; 2-chlorophenol; 2-nitrophenol;
pentachlorophenol; trichlorophenol; phenol; hexachlorobutadiene;
1,2,4-trichlorobenzene; diethyl bexyl phthalate; di-n-butyl
phthalate; DDE; and DDD. This is a lengthy process. As an
option, it would be possible (under our regulations) to take 0.05
or 0.01 of the lowest acute data (96 hr LC50) to use as a
standard. For some chemicals with little data, acute toxicity
testing may be required. It would be most prudent to develop
comprehensive standards for these compounds which would take
about three months. I have begun this process.
III. Suggested Pretreatment Limits
GSX has suggested pretreatment limits based on the most
stringent of four values - 1) categorical pretreatment standards
(the most stringent applicable), 2) toxic threshold
concentration (to prevent POTW upset), 3) drinking water
standards and 4) freshwater quality standards. This seems to be
a reasonable process to select pretreatment limits.
However, there are three major problems with the values
determined by GSX. First, the calculations for the water quality
and drinking water standards are not correct. Meg Kerr and I
have been unable to determine how they calculated their limits.
GSX determined a limit of 17.6 mg/1 for arsenic based on water
quality standards. The correct value is 5.2 mg/1. Similarly, the
North Carolina drinking water standard (DHS) for silver
corresponds to a pretreatment limit of 5.2 mg/1 while GSX
calculated a limit of 9.2 mg/1. GSX should explain these
differences and modify their calculations appropriately.
A more important problem with the values is that they assume
a background level of zero in the LMAC effluent on the Lumber
River for these toxicants. This is probably unrealistic in any
water body like the Lumber River which receives industrial and
municipal discharges as well as urban land agricultural runoff.
STORET data were pulled for stations upstream, at and downstream
of Maxton to determine the available data for background levels.
In general, sufficient data exist for metals to determine
background levels (see Table 1 and following discussion) but data
on organic compounds is lacking. Before pretreatment limits can
be established for organic compounds, data on their presence or
absence need to be collected. Similarly, data on toxicants from
LMAC plant are few (see Table 2 and following discussion).
Additional data on metals and organics need to be collected
before pretreatment limits can be accurately determined.
In the past 3 years, DEM has taken seven effluent samples
from LMAC and analyzed for toxicants (Table 2). Average metal
levels (assuming 1/2 detection level when less than detection)
5
are: Al = 542 ug/1 (n = 6), Cd = 10 ug/1 (n = 6, all less than
detection), Co = 2360 ug/1 (n = 5), Cr = 25 ug/1 (n = 6, all less
.than detection), Cu = 80 ug/1 (n = 6), Fe = 800 ug/1 (n = 7), Hg
= 0.35 (n = 4), Ni = 58.3 (n = 6, 5 less than detection), Pb = 50
(n = 6, all less than detection) and Zn = 273 ug/1 (n = 7). One
sample (taken on April 4, 1985) has been analyzed for acid
extractables and base/neutral compounds. None were identified.
It appears that DEM needs data on levels of arsenic, barium,
beryllium, cyanide, selenium and silver as well as complete GC/MS
scans for all fractions from the LMAC effluent in order to see if
GSX's proposed pretreatment limits are appropriate. At least
three samples should be taken to understand the varibility. Low
level analyses for metals (especially for nickel, cadmium,
chromium and lead) should be done on these samples.
Three samples have been analyzed for base/neutrals and acid
extractables in the Lumber River near Maxton (Table 1).
Di-n-octyl (740 ug/1) and ethyl butyl phthalates (12 ug/1) were
the only compounds identified. Metal levels were all less than
detection but in some cases, detection limits were much higher
than our water quality standards. It appears that DEM needs data
on levels of barium, beryllium, selenium, silver, and cyanide as
well as complete GC/MS scans for all fractions in order to decide
what pretreatment limits are appropriate for GSX. These samples
should be taken to reflect seasonal variability. Spring sampling
for pesticides would be most appropriate. Since levels of many
pesticides vary seasonally, sampling throughout the year may be
necessary for organic compounds. In addition, routine laboratory
detection limits for several metals are too high to determine
whether water quality standards are being exceeded or how close
river levels are to the standards. For these metals (Cd, Cr, Cu,
Ni, Pb, and Zn), DEM will need low level metal monitoring data
for several samples in order to determine the background level to
accurately set pretreatment standards for GSX.
The final major problem with GSX's proposed pretreatment
limits is that (even assuming that they may be too high because
background levels were not considered) in some cases, GSX will
probably not be able to meet these limits based on operational
experience from similar New York facilities. Three chemicals
(lead, nickel and heptachlor) have average levels in the CECOS
effluent (indirect discharger to Niagara Falls POTW with design
similar to GSX) which are higher than GSX's proposed pretreatment
limits. For these chemicals, exceedances of pretreatment limits
would probably occur regularly. Four other compounds (arsenic,
cadmium, endosulfan and zinc) have maximum levels in the CECOS
effluent which exceed GSX's proposed limits. For these
compounds, pretreatment limits would probably be exceeded
ocassionally by GSX. These findings with regard to probable GSX
exceedance of pretreatment limits are conservative since
background levels of organics and metals have not been
considered. When these backgrounds are taken into account, there
may be additional chemicals which would probably exceed
pretreatment limits. In addition (as discussed previously), it
appears that DEM will need to calculate water quality guidance
6
for 24 additional compounds found in effluents from the New York
plants. In some cases, these may also present problems regarding
43SX's pretreatment limits. If LMAC requests that DEM not
allocate the entire Lumber River's capacity to them and/or if
LMAC wants to reserve a portion of their capacity for additional
industries, GSX's suggested pretreatment limits would be lowered
as well. This may pose additional problems regarding levels of
toxicants in the CECOS, N.Y. plant.

IV. Chemical Monitoring
•
GSX has proposed to monitor metals from each batch of
effluent and also monitor organic priority pollutants from a
weekly composite sample. In selecting this schedule, GSX
identified compounds which 1) pass -through activated sludge
plants (12 chemicals), 2) bioaccumulate in aquatic organisms
(11 chemicals), 3) accumulate in sludge (17 chemicals) or 4)
are carinogenic (pretreatment standards for 19 chemicals).
After extensive literature surveys, DEM staff have identified 77
pass -through chemicals, 117 bioaccumulative compounds, and 44
chemicals which accumulate in sludge. DHS staff are examining
the issue of carcinogenic chemicals and their appropriate
monitoring.
From these findings, it is clear that many chemicals have
properties which would present problems such as bioaccumulation
in the river, accumulate in the LMAC sludge (making disposal
difficult), or pass -through the LMAC plant and be potential human
carinogens in the Lumberton drinking water. The New York
indirect discharger (CECOS) monitors volatile organics and metals
in each batch and organic priority pollutants weekly. They find
volatiles and organic pollutants (in low levels) in every batch.
No drinking water issue is present in their situation except
across Lake Ontario with the city of Toronto. In order to
control these chemicals, GSX should conduct metals and organic
priority pollutant scans on each batch of effluent. In addition,
complete GC/MS scans should be done biweekly (at least
initially). This procedure may require additional laboratory
equipment and personnel for GSX. However, it will probably not
require additional storage capacity beyond the additional storage
needed to conduct 48-hr bioassays. The 48 hours which are needed
for the bioassays should be sufficient time for organic priority
pollutant analyses by GSX. Once sufficient data have been
generated by GSX for chemistry and bioassays, the frequency and
type of monitoring could be modified if data warrant such a
change. However, initially at least, an extensive chemical
monitoring program is essential to protect LMAC's plant from
upset, protect water quality and aquatic life in the Lumber River
and protect Lumberton's drinking water source.
A. Pass -Through Compounds
GSX identified 12 compounds (4 metals, 1 pesticide and 7
organic priority pollutants) as chemicals which could
pass -through activated sludge WWTP's. The percent removal of a
compound which would identify it as a pass -through was not
specified. In order to examine their list, the literature was
searched for compounds with less than or equal to 50% removal
(comparing influent to effluent) in activated sludge WWTP's
(similar to LMAC's). An additional 65 compounds were identified
as pass -through chemicals for a total of 77 compounds. These are
4 metals (As, Cd, Cr, and Ni), 2 acid extractables, 16
10
base/neutrals, 23 pesticides, 19 volatiles and 9 other chemical
compounds (non -EPA priority pollutants). These results support
more frequent chemical monitoring until sufficient data are
gathered to ensure that these compounds have been removed in
sufficient quantities by the GSX pretreatment facility.
B. Bioaccumulative Compounds
GSX proposes to monitor possible bioaccumulative compounds
from their effluent. To select these compounds, they propose the
following selection criteria.
BCF x persistance > 14,000
Measured BCF in fish > 1,000
Measured or calculated log P > 4.35
BCF = bioaccumulation factor
log P = log octanol:water partition coefficent which is a
measure of a chemical's fat solubility.
The first two criteria are based on EPA recommendations
which appear to be appropriate. The final criteria is based on
the log P which is predicted to result in a BCF > 1000. The
final criteria should be lowered slightly based on an analysis of
the literature concerning the relationship of log P and BCF. The
log P values which predicts a BCF of 1000 are listed below for
several publications. The geometric mean of these is a log P of
4.29. In general, GSX has proposed reasonable criteria to use
to determine potential bioaccumulative compounds.
Log P Organism Citation

4.25 fish Veith, et al. 1984

3.79 trout Oliver and Niimi 1984
3.71 trout Oliver and Niimi 1985
4.71 fish Davies and Dobbs 1984
Using their criteria, GSX identified 11 chemicals (2 metals,
6 pesticides and 3 organic priority pollutants) as
bioaccumulative. DEM staff have identified an additional 105
bioaccumulative chemicals. This list should not be considered
exhaustive. Clearly, a large number of compounds are potentially
bioaccumulative. Groups with many bioaccumulative compounds are
1) hydroxynapthoquiones, 2) dimethylquinoliniums, 3) benzoic
acids, 4) promazines, and 5) styrenes.
Obviously, routine monitoring for these compounds would be
an impossible task. However, these findings clearly demonstrate
the need for periodic priority pollutant scans as well as
11
complete GC/MS scans. These priority pollutant scans should be
done on each batch until DEM, LMAC and GSX have sufficient
•perational data to reduce their frequency. Complete GC/MS
scans should be done bimonthly from composite samples. The
frequency of these analyses could be reduced once enough data is
collected (estimated time of 4 to 6 months). This information
will also allow us to evaluate the usefulness of bioassays (esp.
Microtox) for this type of effluent. Based on these
considerations plus the drinking water source downstream, GSX's
chemical monitoring proposal (metals on every batch, pesticides
when they are being processed, and priority organic pollutants
weekly) is inadequate.
C. Sludge -Accumulating Pollutants
GSX identified 17 chemicals which tend to accumulate in
sludge (7 metals, 2 pesticides, 7 priority organic pollutants).
This behavior could make the LMAC sludge difficult to dispose.
Based on a limited literature search, an additional 27 organic
compounds and one metal (molybdenum) have been identified as
possible sludge accumulators. This evidence again reinforces
the need for extensive chemical monitoring of the GSX effluent,
at least during initial operation of the plant.
D. Carcinogens
GSX identified possible or probable human carcinogens from
their effluent and determined suggested pretreatment limits for
19 chemicals. Dr. Ted Taylor (DHS) is examining this list in
detail and may have comments regarding its completeness.
V. GSX Pretreatment Plant Design
Several items appear to be inadequate in GSX's design of
their pretreatment plant. First, GSX's design allows them to
avoid using their activated carbon unit and, indeed, they plan
to use it only when necessary. Existing facilities in the U.S.
which treat similar wastes routinely use activated carbon on
every batch of effluent. Sand filters and gravity settler
thickners are used to remove some solids in order to extend the
useful life of the carbon. Given the wide variety of toxicants
(especially organics) which will be treated by GSX, it is clear
that activated carbon should be used to routinely treat all
effluent from their facility. This would require (at a minimum)
the addition of sand filters and probably another carbon column
as a backup unit (both in Phase I).
Second, similar plants in Norfolk, Virginia and Niagara
Falls, New York have had operational problems in the winter
(caused by low temperatures) and have either enclosed their plant
(VA) or will be installing heating units for their biological
system (NY). In New York this is being done to control high
levels of volatile organic chemicals in their effluent in the
winter. This issue should be addressed by GSX.
12
Finally, it appears the GSX's holding capacity for their
final effluent is not sufficient.- GSX plans to release 125,000
•
gpd after testing and approval with 4 holding tanks of 125,000
gallons each. They will be doing 48 hr Daphnia and fathead
minnow tests. Therefore, two tanks will always be full (being
tested), one will be filling and one emptying if the batches pass
the tests. In any case, time will be needed for setting up the
Daphnia (and chemical tests), writing up the data, analyzing them
at GSX, and then analyzing them at LMAC (and DEM?) before
discharge. This process will take about 2 days. Therefore at a
minimum, GSX will need two additional 125,000 gallon holding
tanks. GSX hopes to avoid this by using Microtox as a bioassay
test (15 minute test) to get approval for release. However, it
is far from certain that this will be acceptable and, in any
case, substantial data will have to be gathered on Microtox's
efficiency before it can be used in place of Daphnia tests. In
addition, building additional tanks will be easier while the rest
of the plant is constructed. Therefore, DEM should require GSX
to build at least six 125,000 gallon holding tanks (four are
proposed). Even six tanks may be too few when capacity to store
stormwater runoff is considered.
VI. Additional Issues
Several other items are important relative to DEM's approval
of GSX's pretreatment application.
A. Review of data before discharge - GSX plans to get
LMAC's approval of the treated effluent before release primarily
using bioassay testing. Should DEM (either in Raleigh and/or
Fayetteville) also review the data to approve release to the
LMAC? In New York, indirect dischargers get approval from the
municipality before release and the State regional office reviews
chemical data (often several months after release). In the case
of GSX with Lumberton's drinking water source downstream to
protect, should DEM (or DHS) assume that the LMAC staff will
adequately review GSX's results and ensure water quality in the
river and the drinking water intake? If DEM (and/or DHS) does
review GSX's data before discharge, it will add to the review
time before GSX can release. This will probably require a total
of additional holding capacity at GSX's facility (up to six
additional holding tanks would probably be sufficent).
B. GSX says it will not take PCB wastes or wastes with more
than two chlorine atoms on a benzene ring. However, the
pretreatment application does not specify how this will be
accomplished. In order to make this assurance, each delivery
would have to have a GC/MS scan for pesticides before the batch
is accepted. This seems unlikely due to time and financial
constraints although the SCA plant in New York does screen each
shipment (drum, truck or tank car) for PCB's. In any case, it
appears that some PCB's and chlorinated benzene compounds will be
accepted and treated, and may appear in GSX's effluent.
C. A point that we made to GSX at an early meeting was that
a detailed flow model of the Lumber River is needed from LMAC to
4.umberton's drinking water intake in order to protect the
drinking water supply. The model will be useful in the case of a
spill or large release of toxicants as well as in predicting
Lumberton's concentrations of toxicants which will be released
routinely in low levels. GSX should be responsible for
developing and calibrating the model.
D. The stormwater management plan during Phase I seems
inadequate. GSX states that a large holding tank will be used
(250,000 gallon) in the case of the 100 yr storm (475,000
gallons). This should be carefully examined by DEM. Also, the
issue should be considered whether their management of the 100
year storm is enough to negate the need for a stormwater permit.

RE: Hazardous Waste Treatment Facilities in New York:
A report on Site Visits
From February 5 to 8, I traveled to Albany and Buffalo, New
York to visit state officials and staff of two hazardous waste
treatment facilities (SCA and CECOS) .in and near Niagara Falls,
New York. Some of these findings are relevant to the
GSX-proposed facility near Laurinburg.
To provide background, the CECOS facility has a design very
similar to what GSX has proposed. CECOS discharges in batch
(about 250,000 to 400,000 gpd) to the Niagara Falls POTW after
chemical/physical treatment, biological treatment (sequential
batch reactors) and activated carbon. Batches are chemically
tested tefore discharge (about every other day) to the Niagara
Falls POTW (an activated carbon plant) which eventually
discharges to the Niagara River (ave flow appx. 60.000 cfs) . In
contrast, the SCA facility stores its treated wastewater (after
using a treatment process similar to CECOS) in large facultative
ponds (to 60 MG) where it is stored for up to a year before
chemical and bioassay testing and direct discharge to the Niagara
River with a diffuser at a 1 MGD maximum rate. CECOS tests for
volatile chemicals on each batch (with a permit limit of 1 mg/1
for each volatile chemical) and also conducts organic priority
pollutant scans (with a permit limit 0.1 mg/1 total) every two
weeks. Metals are done on each batch. Another indirect
discharger (Frontier) is located in Niagara Falls but state
officials say that Frontier and CECOS are similar but that fewer
data are available from Frontier because their indirect discharge
permit is older and has fewer monitoring requirements. New York
state officials say that they plan to modify Frontier's permit to
reflect CECOS' requirements.
I. Volatile Organic Chemicals
SCA has few (if any) volatiles in their effluent since the
treated wastewater is held for about a year. CECOS has
relatively high levels of volatiles, especially in the winter
when their biological plant is less effective. They are
installing heating units to compensate. Table 1 lists the 18
volatiles that have been found in the last year from CECOS and
IV. Bioassay

seasonal trends for total volatiles. The highest levels (to 2.6
mg/1 for methylene chloride and 2.47 mg/1 for chloroform) are
found in the winter. CECOS has limits of 1 mg/1 for each
chemical which they exceeded eight times last year. Chloroform
(average 109 ug/1, 59% of samples), methylene chloride (180 ug/1,
76%), 1,1,2,2 - tetrachloroethane (15 ug/1, 40%), 1,2
-dichloroethane (10 ug/1, 37%) and trichloroethylene (5 ug/1,
32%) are the most common volatile compounds. The waste treatment
process does a good job of eliminating volatile organic chemicals
except in the winter. I would expect that the levels of total
volatiles that CECOS achieves in the spring, summer and fall
(average 101 ug/1 total volatile organics) would be achievable by
GSX (see Figure 1). Summer levels from CECOS are often less than
detection (1 ug/1) for all volatiles. The winter levels from
CECOS would probably not be encountered by GSX because our
winters are much less severe than Buffalo's. However, some
increase in the winter would be expected especially if GSX's
wastewater treatment plant is not heated or enclosed.
II. Non -Volatile Organic Chemicals
Complete synthetic organic chemicals scans have not been run
at either facility. EPA priority pollutants are essentially
never found at the SCA plant except for low levels of halogenated
organics (2 ug/1, 0.8 ug/1 and 0.23 ug/1 in 1985, 1984 and 1983).
Phthalates, benzidine, hexamelthylbenzenes, benziothiazole, and
PCB's were not detectedin batches from those years.
The CECOS facility has detected 22 non-volatile, priority
pollutants in the past year (Table 2). Most coon ones are
isphorone (average of 29 ug/1, in 79% of samples) , phenol (12
ug/1, 25%), and heptachlor (0.4 ug/1, 21%). In addition, (b-BHC
has been found in 46% of samples (average 3.1 ug/1) but these
mostly appear to be another chemical since they were not
confirmed by GC/MS. With the exception of isophorone (an
industrial solvent), the treatment process appears to do a good
job removing non-volative organic, priority pollutants. No
seasonal trends were evident.
III. Metals
Levels of metals for the SCA effluent (with a 1 year
retention time) are generally lower than CECOS. Nickel levels are
rather high from both plants - SCA averages 1.43 mg/1 while CECOS
averages 2.47 mg/1 (Table 3). Otherwise, metal levels are usually
less than 1 mg/1. The SCA plant reports aluminum levels. Total
aluminum averaged 0.97 mg/1 of which 24'% was in the ionic form.
IV. Bioassay
Only SCA conducts bioassays of their effluent. Acute tests
George Everett
February 21, 1986
Page 3
are done on each batch using rainbow trout, fathead minnows and
Daphnia. Treated effluents have never been toxic to the fish -
indeed, no deaths have occurred at any dose. However, toxicity
to Daphnia is common (48 hr LC50's of 51% and 67% in 1984 and 70%
in 1985 - [more data are coming]). State personnel and the plant
operators think that the cause is salt levels in the effluent
which are somewhat high (ave. 9.8 mg/1 total dissolved salts).
Ken Eagleson does not think that these salt levels (by
themselves) would cause Daphnia mortality. However, paphnia
lnagna is very sensitive to nickel (48 hr LC50 from 510 to 4.9
mg/1 - depending on hardness) and this may be another cause of
toxicity. Based on these data, it appears that GSX's effluent
will likely be toxic to Daphnia. Since CECOS and Frontier are
similar in design to the proposed GSX facility, it might be
advisable to arrange with the CECOS and New York State officials
to sample CECOS's (and/or Frontier's) finished effluent, ship it
(on ice) to us' for toxicity testing to confirm this finding.
Alternatively, we might ask GSX to do the testing to indicate if
their effluent will be acutely (and/or chronically) toxic.
V. Bioaccumulative Compounds
The SCA plant is required to maintain colonies of rainbow
trout and fathead minnows- in their discharge to test for
bioaccumulative compounds. As a control, they use fish
maintained in the Niagara River. Other than ethyl hexyl
phthalate in 1984, there is no evidence that effluent -exposed
fish have higher levels of chlorinated pesticides, phthalate
esters or PCB's than do those in the Niagara River. However,
effluent - exposed fish do have levels of heptachlor (to 80 ppt
[trillion]), DDE (to 40 ppt), DDD (to 15 ppt), DDT (to 18 ppt)
which are above detection. This indicates that some organic
compounds may be bioaccumulating but without "clean water
controls" the evidence is inconclusive especially in relation to
the Lumber River situation.
VI. Carbon Treatment
Both state personnel and plant operators agreed that use of
activated carbon on all wastewater from these plants was
essential to protect water quality. -
Vil. In -Lab Testing Facilities
Both plants have a fair amount of laboratory equipment. The
SCA plant screens each shipment to the plant for PCB's using - GC
analyses on -site. If levels are too high (> 50 ppm), the
shipment is refused. The SCA lab has 4 GC's, an auto analyzer
(for metals) and an ion chromatograph. The CECOS lab has an auto
analyzer, and a GC (for volatiles) . They contract out the
priority pollutant analyses and many of the volatile analyses.

IX. State Review of Data
Larry Nadler, Engineer in the Albany Office, suggested that a
crucial element in the GSX decision may be how long it would take
DEM and/or LMAC to collect and review the bioassay and chemical
data before a discharge is allowed. Realistically, it
takes the State of New York about 2 weeks to completely review
the chemical data (which includes mailing time and review by
other agencies). CECOS is allowed to discharge based on fairly
simple measures such as TOC, TSS, pH, phenol and some metals. If
permit limits are complex, a longer review time would be required
which would necessitate more retention time per batch. SCA must
have their bioassay and chemical datqa completely analyzed and
approved by the State before discharge.
X. Water Quality Guidance
Based on these data, it appears that it would be advisable to
develop water quality guidance for the 23 chemicals listed
below. In some cases, aquatic toxicity data may be lacking. In
these cases, DEM should consider contracting for acute or chronic
toxicity testing or doing the testing ourselves. I would expect
that, given the dilution in the Lumber River, the volatiles will
not present water quality problems from the viewpoint of aquatic
toxicity. This should be confirmed with water quality standard
calculations. However, these chemicals may be of concern
relative to the effluent's acute or chronic toxicity or drinking
water quality downstream in Lumberton.

SUMMARY: IMPLICATIONS OF THESE FINDINGS FOR GSX
1. GSX would be expected to release volatile organic
chemicals (especially chloroform, methylene chloride,
tetrachloroethane and trichloroethane) in the 100 ug/1 range
(total volatiles) especially in the winter, fall and spring. The
high levels (to 6 mg/1 total volatiles) seen in the CECOS data
will probably not be found by GSX since our climate is more
moderate than Buffalo, NY.
2. GSX (if they use activated carbon routinely) would be
expected to have few non-volatile priority pollutant organic
chemicals with the exception of isophorone. Isophorone (an
industrial solvent) would probably be present in nearly every
batch (average at CECOS of 29 ug/1, maximum 130 ug/1).
3. GSX would be expected to have low levels of metals in
their effluent except for nickel (1 to .3 mg/1 range) .
4. GSX's effluent would be expected to be nontoxic (acutely)
to rainbow trout_ and fathead minnows. However, the effluent will
likely be acutely toxic to paphnia waasa (LCcri at SCA of about 50
to 70% effluent). Whether this is cased by toxicants
(especially nickel) or the relatively high salt content is
unclear. It would be prudent if DEM (and/or the GSX personnel)
could arrange to have effluent samples from the indirect
dischargers shipped for bioassay testing to confirm this finding.
If the effluents are toxic, it is likely that GSX would not be
able to meet the stipulation (to which we and they have agreed)
that the effluent not be acutely toxic.
5. Low levels of chlorinated organics and phthalate esters
may pass through the GSX plant and be bioaccumulated. However,
data from New York are inconclusive (for our situation) because
their control fish are exposed to the Niagara River which would
be expected to have more organics than does the Lumber River.
6. Activated carbon treatment is essential for every batch
of effluent to ensure acceptable water quality.
7. Based on chemicals found for the New York facilities,-23
additional water quality guidance (mostly for organic compounds)
should be developed. In some cases, it may be necessary to have
DEM or an outside contractor conduct bioassays for chemicals with
few data.

SUBJECT: Laurinburg-Maxton Airport
A Level B modeling analysis was performed on the existing Laurinburg-
Maxton Airport discharge to the Lumber River. The resulting limits were
computed to be 63 mg/1 BODult for summer at 1.0 MGD. The BODuit dis-
aggregation therefore was BOD5 15 mg/1 and NH3-N 12 mg/1, however the
Fayetteville regional engineer, Tommy Stevens, reviewed the facility's
self monitoring data and felt a different BODuit disaggregation was required.
Still using the formula BODuit - 1.0 (BOD5) + 4.0 (NH3-N), limits of BOD5
27 mg/1 and NH3-N 9 mg/1 for the summer were recalculated. The latter
limits are the ones seen on the NPDES Waste Load Allocation form.
If you have any questions regarding the change, please ask.

REGARDING: Norfolk, Virginia site visit and planned visits to
New York hazardous waste treatment plants
On January 6, six staff members (Rick Hiers, Arthur Mouberry,
Mick Nolan, Matt Mathews, myself and Bill Reid [DHS]) went to the
Naval Yard in Norfolk, Virginia to tour their activated carbon
WWTP and talk to officials of the Hampton Roads Sanitary District
which receives waste from the Navy. The Naval facility is
essentially a large metal plating operation but in addition
receives and treats large amounts of organic chemicals (esp.
phenols, methylene chloride and trichlorethane) used in paint
stripping operations. They discharge about 120,000 gpd. The
Navy has used carbon at their facility since about '1978 at the
insistance of the Sanitary District. After chemical treatment of
the wastes (pH adjustment, H 0 , chlorination), the wastewater
enters a gravity settler th1c1ener (to remove solids), sand
filters (for more solids removal) and finally enters the carbon
beds. From the Navy's data, activated carbon has reduced phenol
levels from an average of 8.5 mg/1 to 0.1 mg/1 (98% reduction).
Before they installed the sand filters and thickener, the Navy
had to replace the carbon fairly often. Since then, they replace
the carbon less than 4 times a year. They have used Microtox to
a limited extent but find that it is not too useful.Recently,
they have enclosed the -plant to reduce operational problems in
adverse weather especially in the winter.
Guy Adylett (Chief, Industrial Waste Division of the Sanitary
District) said that (in GSX's case) he thought that GSX should
use activated carbon on each batch with sand filtration to
protect the carbon beds. The Navy has a total toxic organics
limit (as a metal plater) of 2.13 mg/1. The Naval wastewater is
usually about 0.1 mg/1 (data being sent). Complete GC/MS scans
are done twice a year.
The three plants near Niagara Falls, NY are more similar to
the proposed GSX plant. I have copies of the NPDES permit for
the SCA facility and the CECOS facility (indirect discharger) in
New York. If you or anyone else would like complete copies,
Page 2

please let me know. The SCA permit is very complex and
comprehensive. The company has numerical limits for 23 metals,
11 other pollutants and 8 organics (PCB's, phenol, benzidine,
toluene, phthalates, benzisothiazole, hexamethylbenzene, and
total halogenated hydrocarbons). In addition, there are
monitoring requirements for 6 metals, and 5 other pollutants
(such as bromide and iodide). Each batch must be tested for all
limited parameters. In addition, each batch is subject to acute
flow -through testing with fathead minnow, rainbow trout and
Daphnia. Complete GC/MS scans are also done on each batch. State
and local review groups have 30 days to review the data before
discharge. During discharge, rainbow trout are used as
biomonitors for mortality, sublethal effects and bioaccumulative
substances.
The CECOS facility discharges to the Niagara Falls POTW. Both
facilities routinely use activated carbon. The CECOS
pretreatment discharge permit has limits for 8 metals, two
organics (trichloroethane and chloroform at 34 ug/1 each) and
souble organic carbon (1.32 mg/1). They also discharge in a
batch basis after testing and agreement with the city. Complete
GC/MS scans are done every two weeks. TOC, phenols, conventional
pollutants and volatiles are analyzed from each batch. The
extensive data show some volatiles after carbon treatment with a
few acid extractables or base -neutrals infrequently.
Due to the massive amounts of data from the SCA and CECOS
facilities, state and local officials are reluctant to copy and
send their numbers but are very willing to allow us to see them
and copy what we need. Therefore, I tentatively plan to visit
Albany and Niagara Falls (Buffalo) from February 5 to 8 to view
state government documents and talk to state officials and then
fly to Buffalo for site visits at the plants and visits with
local officials to see their data.
Meg Kerr and the Technical Support Unit have rechecked their
earlier estimate of flow time from the Laurinburg-Maxton POTW to
the City of Lumberton drinking water intake on the Lumber River.
The correct distance from Laurinburg to Lumberton is 34.6 river
miles. The river meanders tremendously through a swamp forest.
Using an empirically derived travel time of 0.3 fps, the travel
time to Lumberton at 7Q10 was estimated to be 7.0 days.

Dear Dr. Mossholder:
RE: GSX Comments Relating to
Preliminary Draft LMAC Permit
We would like to thank you for your review and comments, dated December
4, 1986, concerning the subject draft permit. Your response has been eval-
uated by the staff and the following addresses those comments.
Comment: Your review correspondence indicated that the lowest LC50 for
chlorine that has been found was 0.23 mg/1 and that our stan-
dard was more conservative than necessary. It was also com-
mented that the North Carolina regulations promulgate no
standard other than 2.0 mg/1 for trout waters. Additionally
you questioned the chloride and sodium limitations.
Response: The figure that you have quoted for the lowest LC5 value for
chlorine is off by an order of magnitude. Ward aria DeGrave,
1978 have reported an LCS0 value of 17 micrograms per liter.
This Division is also currently developing a statewide chlo-
rine implementation strategy that may modify any restrictions
indicated in the draft LMAC permit. Our regulations allow us
to limit any toxic constituent based upon predicted receiving
stream impacts.
Your comments relating to a trout water chlorine stan-
dard of 2.0 mg/1 are in error. The N.C. chlorine standard
for trout water is 2.0 micrograms per liter.

The sodium and chloride limitations included in the
draft permit are based upon previous LMAC permit limitations
which are based on effluent guidelines for one of the indi-
rect discharges to the LMAC system.
Comment: Your comments indicated that there were several constituents
listed that GSX will not be accepting and that a few of the
constituents listed are unstable in water. Also you noted
typographical errors, duplicative entries, etc.
Response: Your comments have been noted and any final draft developed
will take those comments into account.
Comment: Your review of the permit limitations in the draft permit
indicated that they are overly conservative and you indicated
that a dilution factor of 176 allows more assimilative capa-
city than we have allocated.
Response: Your comments indicate that the ratio of 135 cfs (7Q10) and
1.0 MGD (Permit Flow) is 176 times. After proper conversion,
the correct ratio is approximately 88 times, not 176. In
addition, the most recent flow information indicates that the
7Q10 is 111 cfs rather than 135 cfs. It is the intent for
allocation to allow maximum discharge concentrations as
defined by our water quality regulations and based on mass
balance equations.
Comment: It was noted that for some chemicals that the end of pipe
limits indicated in the draft would not assure protection of
human health or the environment.
Response: Your comments are noted and final determinations will be made
in conjunction with the Department of Human Resources to
assist in human health numerical limitations.
Comment: You have suggested that the reopeners be modified to include
language that required demonstration of adverse effects or
impacts to the Lumber River.
Response: The reopeners should not be usable only upon demonstration of
aquatic or human health impacts. We are regulating impacts
at predicted flow levels ;(7Q10). If flows are high there
may not be an immediate effect even though the permit is
being violated. Any human health or aquatic impacts will not
be allowed to be expressed prior to DEM's response of reope-
ning a permit.
Comment: You have indicated that the Ceriodaphnia test concentrations
are too low and that a higher level substituted for the lower
concentration may be more useful for monitoring than those we
established.
Response: Your argument has merit. If we knew that the ChV measure-
ments were going to be significantly higher than the IWC's,
then this makes sense. If, however, a toxic problem does
arise, we will want to know by how much LMAC is failing to
meet the permit limit. In this case the lower concentrations
would be more useful. Perhaps these test concentrations may
be modified after future testing with a requirement that
lower concentrations be used if a problem arises.
Comment: The inclusion of a single exposure treatment of 95% seems
superfluous when weekly chronic tests are being conducted
simultaneously.
Response: Depending on the acute to chronic ratio of a substance, it
is possible that there may be an acute response in a concen-
tration over 90% with no reproductive impairment in Ceriod-
aphnia. Our water quality regulations indicate that a toxic
substance is to be allocated at a level one hundred times
lower than the LC50 value.
Since the IWC is greater than one percent, the LCSQ
value must exceed 100%. In this instance the LC50 would
theoretically have to be greater than 137%. Since this is
not possible, North Carolina uses a criteria of no signifi-
cant mortality in 90% effluent (for Daphnia tests only). To
allow 50% mortality in 90% effluent would be contradictory of
our Water Quality Regulations.
We agree that there was an inconsistency between the
allowable mortality in Ceriodaphnia versus the Fathead Min-
now. The permit should be altered to require no more than
10% mortality in 90% effluent for Ceriodaphnia and no more
than 10% mortality in the Fathead Minnow tests. A specifi-
cation of 20% mortality in the draft permit should have been
10% to be consistent with our protocols.
Again, we appreciate your comments and if there are questions, please
contact George Everett or Steve Tedder at (919)733-5083.

Thank you; very much for allowing me to visit during the meeting this
past Tuesday morning on the GSX facility.
I would appreciate your efforts to keep me posted on these meetings so:
that I may, participate. I'm quite familiar with these treatment '
schemes, and I'm very interested in.seeing these systems as fail safe as
possible.
I would like to make the following request that clarification be made or'
changes as necessary for the following items:
From the flow data :::en, it would appear that. the storm water at.
worst case and the ign flow of .the. plant will exceed the pumping'
capacity of the ps fromthe,equalization basin into the -mix
tank. Should.thesumps be made slightly larger in capacity or a
third pump:added fohe worst case condition? Other pumps within';
the facility. may be. 4.004 the same category. r! x
I am sure.the Laurinburg-Maxton treatment facility is interested'in`
:having as few suspended solids as possible sent to them from the
pretreatment„ -facility. Experience has shown that chemical,
addition, such::as a polymer, can reduce pinpoint floc. I would

3. During the meeting it was noted that there may be the potential for
surges from the pretreatment facility to the Laurinburg-Maxton
facility during high storm water flows. I gathered from the
presentation that the operator of the pretreatment facility would
have to communicate with the operator at the Laurinburg-Maxton
facility in order to alarm the Laurinburg-Maxton operator of the
hydraulic surge. I would suggest that some type of simple
flowmeter be installed in the line from the pretreatment facility
to Laurinburg-Maxton in order to enhance this communication between

not biodegradable handled and what.is their ultimate consequence
should they pass through the activated carbon filters?
In lieu of hauling the toxic sludge waste into South Carolina, has

PERMITS & ENGINEERING
Reference is made. to your December 6, 1985 letter expressing your concerns
regarding the potential contamination of water supply intakes by wastes from
the proposed GSX Hazardous Waste Treatment Facility.
We share your concerns for assuring that raw water quality is not jeopardized
by upstream discharges.
We are not familiar with the "rule of thumb" included in your letter. The
Environmental Management Commission classifies all of the state's surface waters.
A -II classifications are usually initiated by a request from a governmental
body (city, county, etc.) which proposes tousethe water as a source of drinking
water supply. The classified segment usually extends from some local landmark
such. as a bridge or county line to a point just downstream from the proposed
intake.. For water supply reservoirs, the entire watershed is usually classified
as A -II.
Once a stream segment is classified as A -II, the Division of Environmental
Management must request the Division of Health Services review of any applications
to permit discharges into it. DivisionofEnvironmental Management will not
issue.a NPDES into A -II waters over Division of Health Services' objection.
Although the Laurinburg-Maxton Waste Treatment Plant discharges to Class C
water, due to the nature of the proposed GSX facility and the proximity to A -II
waters, the DEM and the DHS have been working together to review the proposals
on wastewater treatment and disposal for the proposed GSX facility. This review
is not yet complete. However, you can be assured that protection of the downstream
.water intakes is of primary concern.
If you have any further questions regarding this matter, please let us know.
Sincerely,

QEc 10 fa:
In reviewing the permit application locally for the GSX Hazardous Waste Treatment
Facility in Scotland County, the importance of the POTW (Laurinburg-Maxton Waste
Water Treatment Plant) has become increasingly clear as it relates to accepting
the waste water from the proposed industry (GSX) and inturn discharging its
effluent to the Lumber River. The area of the river of the POTW'S discharge is
within 1500 feet' of a Robeson County surface intake and approximately 14 miles
from the intake of Lumberton Municipal Water System. In discussions concerning
this area of the river as it relates to water classifications based on its
proximity to the above mentioned intakes, a "rule of thumb" has surfaced as follows:
ENL "the area upstream froman intake of a public water supply for
r�,,,_:3 = five (5) to ten (10) miles should be considered an"A-II" water
zone of the river. This river designation would require any
discharge permit issued to be reviewed by Division of Environmental
Management and the Division. of Health Services and be issued
jointly."
I ful if you would address this issue for us in order to
clarify and define such a designation and outline what steps will be taken to
assure safe water quality at these critical intakes. This will enable all .
concerned to work under a unified understanding and not a "rule of thumb"
known by some and not by others. r ,
Your consideration and response to this matter will be greatly appreciated.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Bill Mills
FROM: Arthur Mouberry
SUBJECT: GSX
RCRA Permit Application
Scotland County
I have reviewed the portion of the GSX permit application that
pertains to items that may require a NPDES permit. The following
items are noted for your review.
1. The facility proposes to discharge their process wastewater
into the Laurinburg-Manton Airport Wastewater Treatment
Plant for final treatment before discharging into the Lumber
River. Given the nature of this facility, it is recommended
that the applicant pursue a separate NPDES permit for this
facility.
2. The applicant proposes to contain the maximum one hour
rainfall with a 10 year recurrence interval (144,000
gallons) that falls within the tertiary containment area.
This water will be pumped to the tertiary containment tank
for treatment. The applicant should be advised that all
rainfall on the container and railcar handling facility, the
bulk waste handling and chemical pretreatment plant, and the
wastewater treatment plant should be collected and routed
through the waste treatment facility. We request that the
applicant provide additional justification as to why the 10
year one hour rainfall event was choosen. Any other
rainfall on the site is proposed to be discharged without
treatment. The applicant needs to be made aware that this
facility will fall under the new federal regulations
covering stormwater runoff. A NPDES permit application will
need to be filed by December 31, 1987.
3. As this facility is located approximately 24 miles upstream
of an A -II water body, the Division of Health Services will
be asked to provide comments on the proposed discharge from
this facility.
Memorandum to: Bill Mills
Page Two
October 16, 1985
4. The applicant proposes to do an extensive series of
pretreatment operations on the waste prior to discharging to
the waste treatment facility. After reviewing the data
provided, I do not feel that a non -discharge permit for a
recycle system would be required. The disposal of the
sludge generated from the pretreatment facility and the
waste treatment facility does fall under this Department's
jurisdiction. However, the applicant does not propose to
dispose of this sludge locally. The plan is to ship the
sludge out of state to an approved facility. It is my
recommendation that the Department request the Division of
Health Services to assume the responsibility of permitting
the disposal of sludge under its RCRA manifest system.
If you have any questions concerning these comments, please
contact me.

§ 261.33 Discarded commercial chemical
products, off -specification species, con-
tainer residues, and spill residues
thereof.
The following materials or items are
hazardous wastes if and when they are
discarded or intended to be discarded:
(a) Any. commercial chemical prod-
uct, or manufacturing chemical inter-
mediate having the generic name
listed in paragraph (e) or (f) of this
section.
(b) Any off -specification commercial
chemical product or manufacturing
chemical intermediate which, if it met
specifications, would have the generic
name listed in paragraph (e) or (f) of
this section.
(c) Any container or inner liner re-
moved from a container that has been
used to hold any commercial chemical
product or manufacturing chemical in-
termediate having the generic names
listed in paragraph (e) of this section,
or any container or inner liner re-
moved from a container that has been
used to hold any off -specification
chemical product and manufacturing
chemical intermediate which, if it met
specifications, would have the generic
name listed in paragraph (e) of this
section, unless the container is empty
as defined in § 261.7(b)(3) of this chap-
ter.

cled , or reclaimed; or being accumulated.
stored. transported or treated prior to such
use. re -use, recycling or reclamation, EPA
considers the residue to be intended for dis-
card, and thus a hazardous waste. An exam-
ple of a legitimate re -use of the residue
would be where the residue remains in the
container and the container is used to hold
the same commerical chemical product or
manufacturing chemical product or manu-
facturing chemical intermediate it previous-
ly held. An example of the discard of the
residue would be where the drum is sent to
a drum reconditioner who reconditions the
drum but discards the residue.]
(d) Any residue or contaminated soil,
water or other debris resulting from
the cleanup of a spill into or on any
land or water of any commercial
chemical product or manufacturing
chemical intermediate having the ge-
neric name listed in paragraph (e) or
(f) of this section, or any residue or
contaminated soil, water or other
debris resulting from the cleanup of a
spill, into or on any . land or water, of
any off -specification chemical product

Biological treatment of hazardous waste in
sequencing batch reactors
Philip A. Herzbrun, Robert L. Irvine, Kenneth C. Malinowski
The sequencing batch reactor (SBR) is one of several inno-
vative and alternative biological waste treatment systems that
have been evaluated by the U. S. Environmental Protection
Agency (U. S. EPA)' and the Office of Technology Assessment.'
Irvine and Busch described SBR operation in 1979.3 Since that
time, a U. S. EPA demonstration study has shown that the SBR
is an excellent alternative to conventional activated sludge treat-
ment for municipal wastewater.' Recently, results from bench -
scale studies indicated that the SBR can provide substantial sav-
ings in energy and costs by removing organic compounds found
in hazardous waste biologically, rather than with activated car-
bon.s•6 Based on these findings, the New York State Energy Re-
search and Development Authority (NYSERDA) and CECOS
International agreed to co -fund a full-scale SBR study that would
demonstrate similar cost and energy savings for biological treat-
ment of hazardous wastes at CECOS. Preliminary findings from
early bench -scale studies, which were used to design the SBR
for the CECOS facility, were discussed by Herzbrun et al.' This
paper presents additional results from the CECOS bench -scale
study and summarizes performance for the first month of full-
scale operation.
BACKGROUND -
While a reasonably complete description of the treatment fa-
cility at CECOS was presented by Herzbrun et al.,7 an overview
of the CECOS operation is summarized below for convenience.
CECOS International operates a 14.9 km2 site in Niagara Falls,
New York —one of only two fully permitted treatment, storage,
and disposal facilities in New York. CECOS currently manages
several operations, including a secure chemical management fa-
cility, a secure sludge management facility, a sanitary landfill, a
fuels blending program, and a multi -faceted wastewater treat-
ment facility.
The treatment plant typically receives 9 500 to 11 300 m3 of
wastewater each month. Approximately 50% of this is leachate
pumped from both active and inactive landfills on the CECOS
site; approximately 30% is pumped as part of a remedial
groundwater program from an unrelated facility bordering the
CECOS site; and the remaining 20% is received in bulk or drums
from various industries in a 640-km radius. The treatment plant
uses a two-phase operation: -Phase 1 is dedicated to oxidation-
reduction reactions, acid neutralization, heavy metals precipi-
- tation, and dewatering; Phase 2 is dedicated to pH adjustment,
biological degradation, carbon adsorption, and batch discharge.
Effluent limitations for the total plant are summarized in
Table 1.
The primary purpose of Phase 2 operation is to remove organic
carbon by adsorption on activated carbon: -Because of the. high
costs associated with . the regeneration of activated carbon,
CECOS decided to study alternative methods of organic carbon •
removal; biological removal in the SBR was selected as the most
cost-efficient alternative. • - .:
A plant design that uses SBR rather than carbon
adsorption for organics removal relied heavily on
thorough bench -scale testing of the concept.'
The SBR is a periodically .operated, fill -and -draw reactor.1.3-4
Each reactor in a SBR system has five discrete. periods in each
cycle: fill, react, settle, draw, and idle. Reactions imitated during
• fill (the time during which raw wastewater enters the tank) are ' •-•
completed during react. After react, the mixed liquor suspended
solids (MLSS) are allowed to separate by sedimentation during
settle in a defined time period; the treated effluent is withdrawn
during draw. The time period between the end of draw and the
beginning of new fill is termed idle. Because of the large storage
tanks available at the CECOS site, all of the bench -scale studies
to be described were conducted in a single -tank SBR system.
In the first phase of bench -scale testing four 10-L SBRs were
operated at different hydraulic detention times for 8 weeks. All
four reactors were operated at room temperature with reactor
temperatures from 24 to26°C. Table 2 shows the operating
strategies used for each of these reactors. Feed was obtained
from the pH adjustment tank. Results from these studies,' in-- -•

scribed.

erated and monitored for 1 year. Each reactor was a 10-L poly

of preset volumes through automatic solenoids. Air was supplied
by an air compressor and controlled through automatic sole-
noids. Additional mixing was provided by magnetic stirrers. Feed
was supplied to the reactors through peristaltic pumps and ad-
justed for appropriate volumes depending on the particular
treatment strategy used. All pumping, aeration, agitation, and
discharge functions were sequenced automatically with labora-
tory timers. Both 5-day and 9-day detention time systems were
studied in detail because expected flow variations to any full-
scale SBR would likely cause the detention time to vary within
these limits. •
Cold weather simulation. To determine the viability of full-
scale SBR operation during extended winter periods, a bench -
scale reactor was modified to operate below room temperature.
An insulated cooling jacket was constructed to circulate refrig-
erated anti -freeze. This reactor, designated Reactor 5, operated
for 8 months, while a control reactor, designated Reactor 6,
operated concurrently at room temperature. Both reactors re-
ceived identical feed. Monthly average reactor temperatures and
detention times are shown in Table 3. The operating strategies
used for the 5-day and 9-day detention time periods are defined
in Table 2 as Strategy B and Strategy A, respectively (except the
maximum liquid volume was 9 L instead of 10 L). The influent
and effluent total organic carbon (TOC) concentrations from
both reactors are shown in Figure 1.
These results as illustrated in Figure 1 show clearly that the
TOC degradation in Reactor 6, operating between 21 and 25°C,
was superior to that obtained from Reactor 5. The disparity in
degradation was most obvious from March to May 1984, when
Reactor 5 operated between 5 and 6°C. It should be noted that
in no case did the average TOC exceed the 1000 g/m3 discharge
limit. Phenol limits, except as noted during special studies, were
also met throughout the cold weather temperature simulations.

While not reflected in this data, the rate of temperature de-
crease affected organic removal appreciably. In particular, as the
temperature approached 12 to 15°C the degradation rate reduced
noticeably, necessitating that the system be held at a slightly
elevated temperature until the organism distribution adjusted
to the new temperature. After such acclimation (this sometimes
required up to 2 weeks), active degradation proceeded until the
next temperature plateau was reached.
Phenol augmentation experiments. A 9=week phenol augmen-
tation study was conducted between January and March 1984.
During this time, influent streams to Reactor 5 (the cold tem-
perature reactor) and Reactor 6 (the room temperature control)
were spiked daily with increasing amounts of phenol. The results
of this work are shown in Figure 2.
Influent phenol remained at raw wastewater'concentrations
for Weeks 1 through 3. After that time, increasing amounts were
added to each reactor until 570 g/m3 phenol was reached at
Week 9. Reactor 5, which operated from 5 to 9°C during the
first 8 weeks, had two major phenol breakthroughs; thesfirst was
during Week 4 when the phenol averaged at 55 g/m3, and the
second occurred in Week 8 when the effluent averaged 63 g/m3.
During this period, Reactor 6 operated with identical influent
volumes and composition. For comparison purposes, the op-
erating temperature was between 23 and 25°C; no effluent sam-
ples exceeded 0.4 g/m3 phenol. During Week 9 the effluent phe-

Energy conservation strategy. Energy can be conserved in the
SBR quite simply by allowing portions of the fill period to pro-
ceed without aeration but with mixing, or without aeration or
mixing. Either action would reduce the rate of degradation of
the organics during fill, and shift the distribution of organisms
present (and, of course, the reactions taking place) in the mixed
liquor. A reduction in reaction rate at this time could be tolerated,
provided the system detention time was sufficiently large to allow
the required reactions to go to completion during the remaining
portions of the cycle. Previous studies by Herzbrun et al.7 had
showed marked reduction in TOC removal at a 1.25-day deten-
tion time. Consequently, any energy saving policy implemented
during periods in which the proposed full-scale SBR would op-
erate at the shorter detention times (for example, 5 days) might
result in reduced removals of both TOC and phenol. With these
factors in mind, Reactor 9 operated for 2 weeks with the first 2
hours of fill unaerated but stirred, followed by 2 additional weeks
in which the first 4 hours of fill period operation was unaerated
and stirred. Finally, the reactor operated for 9 weeks with the

A comparison of Reactor 9 and control Reactor 6, both of
which operated between 23 and 25°C and received identical
influent composition and nearly identical detention times, is
shown in Table 4. Results for TOC, .phenol, MLSS, mixed liquor
volatile suspended solids (MLVSS), effluent suspended solids
(SS), and sludge volume index"(SVI) are expressed as the average
of weekly averages.
Performance in Reactor 9 was almost identical to the control
with respect to TOC degradation, phenol degradation, SVI, and
effluent suspended solids. Although TOC degradation was slightly
better in the control, it must be noted that the 6 hours of anoxic
feed represents an approximate 30% overall energy savings. One
potential problem with anoxic feed is an elevated odor that could
make anoxic conditions in the full-scale impractical.

Phenol degradation was also studied during the anoxic feed
period. Figure 3 plots phenol concentration versus time for the
6-hour, unaerated, stirred fill period in Reactor 9. The phenol
build-up in this reactor during the 6-hour unaerated period was
very close to calculated theoretical levels (if no biodegradation
was assumed). Before aeration, less than 1% of the phenol had
been degraded. Two hours after the aeration began, at the 8-
hour mark, 28% of the available phenol had been degraded. By
the end of the treatment cycle, well over 99% of the phenol had
been degraded and the effluent concentration had decreased to
0.4 g/m3. By comparison, the phenol concentration in the con-
tinuously aerated control reactor receiving identical feed was
0.4 g/m3 at the 8-hour mark.
TOC removal data show similar results. Before aeration in
Reactor 9, approximately 20% of the TOC added was degraded;
80% of the degradable TOC was used 2 hours after aeration
began. Control Reactor 6 maintained a virtually constant TOC
concentration before feed, 8 hours into the feed period, and
after the treatment cycle.
Oxygen uptake rate data were obtained for Reactors 6 and 9
to determine how the different operating strategies affect the
ability of the organisms to degrade phenol. At the end of the
react period, 135 mL of mixed liquor was removed from each
reactor, spiked with different amounts of a phenol solution, and

sealed from the -atmosphere with a dissolved oxygen probe
(Table 5).
Unit oxygen uptake rates confirmed that the anoxic Reactor
9, in which the bacterial population was acclimated, hada high
tolerance, to high phenol concentrations before aeration, was
much more adapted to using phenol as a food source. Thus, the
control Reactor 6 experienced either a minor increase or slight
decrease in unit oxygen uptake when phenol was added.
FULL-SCALE DEMONSTRATION FACILITY -
Results from the bench -scale studies were used to design a
full-scale demonstration facility. Construction began in Decem-
ber 1983. The existing treatment facility was modified for Phase -
2 operation (Figure 4). On June 6, 1984, the full-scale SBR,
roughly a 1900-m3 reactor, was put on-line. The SBR was situated
in the Phase 2 operation between the storage, equalization, and .-
neutralization basins (Tanks L-5, L-6, *L-7, and L-8) and the
activated carbon columns. Major changes to Phase 2 operation
included: construction of an insulated, covered SBR, rerouting
of wastewater from Tank L-6 to Tank L-8 for pH adjustment
with hydrochloric acid; storage of this water in Tank L-7 for
final treatment in the SBR; and use of Tank L-12 for any ad-
ditional necessary sedimentation and for use as a feed tank to
the activated carbon system.
Preliminary results from the full-scale system are presented
in Table 6. Because the first week primarily involved start-up
and stabilization, the only results for Weeks 2 through 5 are
reported in this table. All data are reported as the average of
weekly averages. The data for phenol, TOC, effluent suspended
solids (SS), and sludge volume index (SVI) all indicate acceptable
treatment as anticipated from the bench -scale reactors. In ad-
dition, TOC degradation decreased from 86% in Week 2 to 72%
in Week 5. Such results were expected; because lab reactors typ-
ically required 4 to 8 weeks for treatment to stabilize fully.
Flow through the SBR averaged 220 m3/d, giving an 8- to 9-
day detention time, and representing approximately 90% of the
wastewater processed at the Niagara Falls site. As anticipated,
there was significantly less reliance on activated carbon to remove
contaminants of concern during this period.

CONCLUSIONS
- . the use of carbon for polishing purposes, 'a significant cost and
energy savings is anticipated. .
• Nine bench -scale SBR reactors have been operated during
the past year. Detention times of 1.25 to 10 days were investi-
gated, with acceptable results for all anticipated full-scale flows.
• One of these SBRs operated for 8 months at temperatures
as low as 3°C to simulate winter operations. Results for this
reactor were not as favorable as an identical control reactor op-
erated simultaneously between 21 and 25°C, but discharge lim-
itations for TOC and phenol removal were maintained provided
the rate of temperature decrease was controlled.
• One reactor was operated with up to 6 hours of stirred, and
unstirred, unaerated feed with very favorable results. Such en-
ergy -saving operational strategies for use in the full-scale reactor
are under consideration.
• Construction of a 1900 m3 SBR was completed in May
1984, and operation began 1 month later. TOC degradation
averaged 76% and phenol degradation averaged 99.0% during
the first month of operation. All other data indicated proper
performance.
• The role of organic contaminant removal has shifted from
adsorption on activated carbon to degradation in the SBR. With

iry SECTION
GSX Corporation is proposing to build a hazardous waste treatment facility
in the Laurinburg-Maxton Airport Commission industrial park in Scotland County.
This facility would treat hazardous waste by various physical and chemical
means on a batch basis to remove and concentrate the hazardous constitutents.
The concentrated hazardous constitutents are to be disposed of or utilized
offsite. No land application, land filling or incineration is to take place
on -site. Water remaining after the concentrate has been removed is to be
treated biologically in an anaerobic reactor and settled. Settled water is
to be collected on a batch basis and tested prior to discharge to Laurinburg-
Maxton Airport Commission Wastewater Treatment Plant for further treatment.
This facility then discharges into the Lumber River at a point which is
approximately 26.2 river miles upstream of the City of Lumberton's drinking
water intake near the I-95 bridge in Lumberton. Time of travel at 30Q2 conditions
from the discharge to I-95 in Lumberton is estimated to be approximately 53
hours. In addition to accepting hazardous wastes from industries, leachate
from the hazardous waste landfill in Pinewood, South Carolina is to be trans-
ported and treated at the proposed facility.
Given the nature and location of this proposed operation it will be
necessary to impose strict monitoring requirements on both the indirect dis-
charger (GSX) and the direct discharger (L-M Airport Commission). The L-M
Airport Commission NPDES Permit will need to be reissued containing effluent
limitations for all potential chemicals which may be present in the discharge.
GSX will have to provide a list of all potential chemicals which might be
present as well as toxicity information on each chemical so that stream standards
can be set utilizing 1/100 of the 96 Hour LC 50. Additionally, continuous
chronic and acute toxicity biological monitoring is needed to ensure that no
adverse impact occurs in the stream.

The Laurinburg-Maxton Airport Commissions pretreat program will have to
be revised to include this facility and establish pretreatment standards.
This proposed facility raises a tremendous number of technical and non-
technical questions as to what level of treatment and monitoring will ensure
protection of stream standards and downstream water uses. As more information
becomes available, additional areas of coverage in the NPDES process may become
necessary.
If there is any need for additional information or clarification, please

HAMPTON ROADS SANITATION DISTRICT
INDUSTRIAL WASTE CONTROL PROGRAM
PUBLIC INFORMATION SHEET
The Hampton Roads Sanitation District is a political subdivision of the
Commonwealth of Virginia charged with responsibility for water pollution abate-
ment within its jurisdiction. The District's boundaries currently encompass
approximately 1,700 square miles of Southeastern Virginia known as Tidewater.
The District is unique in that it serves an area surrounding Hampton Roads,
which is the largest natural harbor in the world.
Tidewater is a very heavily militarized area. More than half of all
industrial waste generated within the District comes from large military in-
stallations which are themselves similar in size to small cities. Other sources
of industrial waste include light and heavy manufacturing, food processing and
associated service industries. Waste generated by these industrial and com-
mercial sources is treated at the District's nine treatment plants. These
plants treat, in aggregate, approximately 130 million gallons per day.
HRSD's Industrial Waste Division is responsible for regulating industrial
and commercial discharges through application of the District's Industrial
Wastewater Discharge Regulations. These regulations include general and
specific effluent limitations and a discharge permit program. Adequate author-
ity to enforce the Industrial Wastewater Discharge Regulations of the Hampton
Roads Sanitation District and all applicable State and Federal regulations,
including final EPA "pretreatment limitations", is provided in Appendix "A" of
the HRSD Industrial Wastewater Discharge Regulations. Compliance is effected
through the use of an extensive monitoring program in conjunction with indus-
trial self -monitoring. The District conducts work -week wastewater monitoring
•
surveys at least annually, utilizing high-speed automatic samplers interfaced
with flow monitoring equipment. In addition, all industries known to dis-
charge toxic pollutants are grab sampled and spot checked monthly at un-
announced times. These same industries are required to perform varying degrees
of self monitoring using methods acceptable to the District.
Approximately 300 industrial dischargers have been issued discharge
permits which outline applicable effluent limitations, monitoring requirements,
metering requirements, and appropriate compliance schedules. These industries
have invested millions of dollars to achieve compliance.
Although EPA final pretreatment limitations for industrial subcategories
were not available during development of the Industrial Wastewater Discharge
Regulations, existing industrial waste problems necessitated the enforcement of
District limitations. During the development of specific pollutant limitations,
several factors were taken into consideration. Of primary consideration was
protection of District treatment structures and processes. The proposed limits
(particularly heavy metals) were carefully reviewed for their effect on the
quality of sludges generated by the District taking into account ultimate dis-
posal. Although incineration is now the principal method of sludge disposal
used by the District, land application is planned to replace incineration in
the future. In addition, effects of the proposed District limits were examined
for various processes, including activated sludge and anaerobic digestion.
Finally, effects of incompatible pollutant discharges to receiving waters from
District treatment facilities were also studied to assure that State and Federal
water quality standards were satisfied.
-3-
The assessment of compatibility with EPA pretreatment limitations pre-
sented considerable difficulty. Local standards much less stringent than EPA
limits may result in construction of inadequate pretreatment facilities and
wasted capital investments. Conversely, local standards much more stringent
than EPA limits, which are not based on specific treatment objectives (e.g.,
land disposal of sludge), inay result in "treatment for treatment's sake",
wasted energy and duplication of treatment. It was the District's intent to
develop and enforce local standards compatible with EPA"final" limits. There-
fore, we have proceeded on the basis that pretreatment systems designed and
built to meet District limits could be the "guts" for whatever system may be
necessary to meet EPA limits, for example, addition of polishing filters to
an existing chemical precipitation system for heavy metals removal.
The District's Industrial Waste Division currently implements a sur-
charge program generating approximately $3 million in revenue annually. The
surcharge is an additional charge to industrial and commercial users which
have high -strength wastes (BOD and/or TSS concentrations greater than 250
mg/1). The surcharge serves a two -fold purpose: 1) High -strength users are
required to pay their fair share of treatment costs rather than being supple-
mented by residential customers generating normal domestic wastes; and 2)
industries are given a financial incentive to "clean up their act". Many
dischargers have substantially reduced or eliminated the surcharge by insti-
tuting simple housekeeping practices, thus saving themselves money and provid-
ing additional treatment capacity at the POTW.
An important part of industrial waste control at the POTW is the ability
to locate and hold liable sources of unusual discharges which cause treatment
difficulties. The District has such capabilities in the form of an "Industrial
Waste Alert System". All treatment facilities are manned 24 hrs./day, 365
days/year. An emergency reporting procedure is in place where a treatment
plant operator can report any change in influent pH, odor, color, or general
appearance(oil, etc.). In addition, any process failure, such as loss of
chlorine residual or treatment effectiveness, is also reported. Members of the
Industrial Waste Division respond immediately to locate and terminate the source
of the unusual discharge. Enforcement mechanisms for passing along liability
for damages to sources of upsets and for termination of service are provided
for in the District's Industrial Wastewater Discharge Regulations, Part V,
Violations and Enforcement. This activity has resulted in the collection of
considerable sums in damages from industrial sources of unusual wastes. Addi-
tionally, the overall quality of District discharges has been improved.
Effective industrial waste control is essential to successful POTW oper-
ation. This control is best administered at the local level, if the control
program is designed around the needs of the POTW it serves. The District has
in place as rigorous an industrial waste control program as can be found in the
wastewater treatment industry. Such a program is necessary in providing the
best and most cost effective wastewater treatment services to all of its
customers.
Biological treatment of hazardous waste in
sequencing batch reactors
Philip A. Herzbrun, Robert L. Irvine, Kenneth C. Malinowski
The sequencing batch reactor (SBR) is one of several inno-
vative and alternative biological waste treatment systems that
have been evaluated by the U. S. Environmental Protection
Agency (U. S. EPA)' and the Office of Technology Assessment?
Irvine and Busch described SBR operation in 1979.3 Since that
time, a U. S. EPA demonstration study has shown that the SBR
is an excellent alternative to conventional activated sludge treat-
ment for municipal wastewater.` Recently, results from bench -
scale studies indicated that the SBR can provide substantial sav-
ings in energy and costs by removing organic compounds found
in hazardous waste biologically, rather than with activated car-
• bon s•6 Based on these findings, the New York State Energy Re-
search and Development Authority (NYSERDA) and CECOS
International agreed to co -fund a full-scale SBR study that would
demonstrate similar cost and energy savings for biological treat-
ment of hazardous wastes at CECOS. Preliminary findings from
early bench -scale studies, which were used to design the SBR
for the CECOS facility, were discussed by Herzbrun et al.' This
paper presents additional results from the CECOS bench -scale
study and summarizes performance for the first month of full-
scale operation.
BACKGROUND
While a reasonably complete description of the treatment fa-
cility at CECOS was presented by Herzbrun et al..' an overview
of the CECOS operation is summarized below for convenience.
CECOS International operates a 14.9 km2 site in Niagara Falls,
New York —one of only two fully permitted treatment, storage,
and disposal facilities in New York. CECOS currently manages
several operations, including a secure chemical management fa-
cility, a secure sludge management facility, a sanitary landfill, a
fuels blending program, and a multi -faceted wastewater treat-
ment facility.
The treatment plant typically receives 9 500 to 11 300 m3 of
wastewater each month. Approximately 50% of this is leachate
pumped from both active and inactive landfills on the CECOS
site; approximately 30% is pumped as part of a remedial
groundwater program from an unrelated facility bordering the
CECOS site; and the remaining 20% is received in bulk or drums
from various industries in a 640-km radius. The treatment plant
uses a two-phase operation: Phase 1 is dedicated to oxidation-
reduction reactions, acid neutralization, heavy metals precipi-
tation, and dewatering; Phase 2 is dedicated to pH adiustment,
biological degradation, carbon adsorption, and batch discharge.
Effluent limitations for the total plant are summarized in
Table 1.
The primary purpose of Phase 2 operation is to remove organic
carbon by adsorption on activated carbon. Because of the high
costs associated with the regeneration of activated carbon,
CECOS decided to study alternative methods of organic carbon
removal; biological removal in the SBR was selected as the most
cost-efficient alternative.
A plant design that uses SBR rather than carbon
adsorption for organics removal relied heavily on
thorough bench -scale testing of the concept.
The SBR is a periodically operated, fill -and -draw reactor.'•'
Each reactor in a SBR system has five discrete periods in each
cycle: fill, react, settle, draw, and idle. Reactions imitated during
fill (the time during which raw wastewater enters the tank) are
completed during react. After react, the mixed liquor suspended
solids (MLSS) are allowed to separate by sedimentation during
settle in a defined time period; the treated effluent is withdrawn
—during draw. The time period between the end of draw and the
beginning of new fill is termed idle. Because of the large storage
tanks available at the CECOS site, all of the bench -scale studies
to be described were conducted in a single -tank SBR system.
In the first phase of bench -scale testing four 10-L SBRs were
operated at different hydraulic detention times for 8 weeks. All
four reactors were operated at room temperature with reactor
temperatures from 24 to 26°C. Table 2 shows the operating
strategies used for each of these reactors. Feed was obtained
from the pH adjustment tank. Results from these studies,' in-
dicated that total organic carbon (TOC) and phenol effluent
limitations of 1000 g/m3 and 2.4 g/m3 (based on an expected
average flow rate of 300 m3/d) would be satisfied easily, provided
the SBR detention time was maintained between 2.5 and 10
days. (Note that the 1.25-day detention time reactor yielded poor
results.) .
These initial studies were the basis for a rather extensive bench -
scale study that continued through the construction periods and
first month in which the full-scale SBR was operated. Three of
these studies --a cold weather simulation, a phenol augmentation
experiment, and an energy conservation strategy —will be de-
scribed. ,,:...�. .
BENCH -SCALE STUDIES
The following results were obtained from SBRs that were op-
erated and monitored for 1 year. Each reactor was a 10-L poly -
carbonate container, drilled and ported to allow gravity discharge

of preset volumes through automatic solenoids. Air was supplied
by an air compressor and controlled through automatic sole-
noids. Additional mixing was provided by magnetic stirrers. Feed
was supplied to the reactors through peristaltic pumps and ad-
justed for appropriate volumes depending on the particular
treatment strategy used. All pumping, aeration, agitation, and
discharge functions were sequenced automatically with labora-
tory timers. Both 5-day and 9-day detention time systems were
studied in detail because expected flow variations to any full-
scale SBR would likely cause the detention time to vary within
these limits.
Cold weather simulation. To determine the viability of full-
scale SBR operation during extended winter periods, a bench -
scale reactor was modified to operate below room temperature.
An insulated cooling jacket was constructed to circulate refrig-
erated anti -freeze. This reactor, designated Reactor 5, operated
for 8 months, while a control reactor, designated Reactor 6,
operated concurrently at room temperature. Both reactors re-
ceived identical feed. Monthly average reactor temperatures and
detention times are shown in Table 3. The operating strategies
used for the 5-day and 9-day detention time periods are defined
in Table 2 as Strategy B and Strategy A, respectively (except the
maximum liquid volume was 9 L instead of 10 L). The influent
and effluent total organic carbon (TOC) concentrations from
both reactors are shown in Figure 1.
These results as illustrated in Figure 1 show clearly that the
TOC degradation in Reactor 6, operating between 21 and 25°C,
was superior to that obtained from Reactor 5. The disparity in
degradation was most obvious from March to May 1984, when
Reactor 5 operated between 5 and 6°C. It should be noted that
in no case did the average TOC exceed the 1000 g/m3 discharge
limit. Phenol limits. except as noted during special studies, were
also met throughout the cold weather temperature simulations.

While not reflected in this data, the rate of temperature de-
crease affected organic removal appreciably. In particular, as the
temperature approached 12 to 15°C the degradation rate reduced
noticeably, necessitating that the system be held at a slightly
elevated temperature until the organism distribution adjusted
to the new temperature. After such acclimation (this sometimes
required up to 2 weeks), active degradation proceeded until the
next temperature plateau was reached.
Phenol augmentation experiments. A 9-week phenol augmen-
tation study was conducted between .January and March 1984.
During this time, influent streams to Reactor 5 (the cold tem-
perature reactor) and Reactor 6 (the room temperature control)
were spiked daily with increasing amounts of phenol. The results
of this work are shown in Figure 2.
Influent phenol remained at raw wastewater concentrations
for Weeks 1 through 3. After that time, increasing amounts were
added to each reactor until 570 g/m3 phenol was reached at
Week 9. Reactor 5, which operated from 5 to 9°C during the
first 8 weeks, had two major phenol breakthroughs; the first was
during Week 4 when the phenol averaged at 55 g/m3, and the
second occurred in Week 8 when the effluent averaged 63 g/m3.
During this period, Reactor 6 operated with identical influent
volumes and composition. For comparison purposes, the op-
erating temperature was between 23 and 25°C; no effluent sam-
ples exceeded 0.4 g/m3 phenol. During Week 9 the effluent phe-

Energy conservation strategy. Energy can be conserved in the
SBR quite simply by allowing portions of the fill period to pro-
ceed without aeration but with mixing, or without aeration or
mixing. Either action would reduce the rate of degradation of
the organics during fill, and shift the distribution of organisms
present (and. of course, the reactions taking place) in the mixed
liquor. A reduction in reaction rate at this time could be tolerated,
provided the system detention time was sufficiently large to allow
the required reactions to go to completion during the remaining
portions of the cycle. Previous studies by Herzbrun et al.' had
showed marked reduction in TOC removal at a 1.25-day deten-
tion time. Consequently, any energy saving policy implemented
during periods in which the proposed full-scale SBR would cp-
erate at the shorter detention times (for example, 5 days) might
result in reduced removals of both TOC and phenol. With these
factors in mind, Reactor 9 operated for 2 weeks with the first 2
hours of fill unaerated but stirred, followed by 2 additional weeks
in which the first 4 hours of fill period operation was unaerated
and stirred. Finally, the reactor operated for 9 weeks with the

first 6 hours of fill unaerated and stirred for the first 51 days and
unaerated and unstirred for the last 12 days.
A comparison of Reactor 9 and control Reactor 6, both of
which operated between 23 and 25°C and received identical
influent composition and nearly identical detention times, is
shown in Table 4. Results for TOC, phenol, MLSS, mixed liquor
volatile suspended solids (MLVSS), effluent suspended solids
(SS), and sludge volume index (SVI) are expressed as the average
of weekly averages.
Performance in Reactor 9 was almost identical to the control
with respect to TOC degradation, phenol degradation, SVI, and
effluent suspended solids. Although TOC degradation was slightly
better in the control, it must be noted that the 6 hours of anoxic
feed represents an approximate 30% overall energy savings. One
potential problem with anoxic feed is an elevated odor that could
make anoxic conditions in the full-scale impractical.

Phenol degradation was also studied during the anoxic feed
period. Figure 3 plots phenol concentration versus time for the
6-hour, unaerated, stirred fill period in Reactor 9. The phenol
build-up in this reactor during the 6-hour unaerated period was
very close to calculated theoretical levels (if no biodegradation
was assumed). Before aeration. less than I% of the phenol had
been degraded. Two hours after the aeration began. at the 8-
hour mark, 28% of the available phenol had been degraded. By
the end of the treatment cycle, well over 99% of the phenol had
been degraded and the effluent concentration had decreased to
0.4 g/m3. By comparison, the phenol concentration in the con-
tinuously aerated control reactor receiving identical feed was
0.4 g/m3 at the 8-hour mark.
TOC removal data show similar results. Before aeration in
Reactor 9, approximately 20% of the TOC added was degraded:
80% of the degradable TOC was used 2 hours after aeration
began. Control Reactor 6 maintained a virtually constant TOC
concentration before feed. 8 hours into the feed period, and
after the treatment cycle.
Oxygen uptake rate data were obtained for Reactors 6 and 9
to determine how the different operating strategies affect the
ability of the organisms to degrade phenol. At the end of the
react period. 135 mL of mixed liquor was removed from each
reactor, spiked with different amounts of a phenol solution, and

sealed from the atmosphere with a dissolved oxygen probe
(Table 5).
Unit oxygen uptake rates confirmed that the anoxic Reactor
9, in which the bacterial population was acclimated, had a high
tolerance, to high phenol concentrations before aeration, was
much more adapted to using phenol as a food source. Thus, the
control Reactor 6 experienced either a minor increase or slight
decrease in unit oxygen uptake when phenol was added.
FULL-SCALE DEMONSTRATION FACILITY
Results from the bench -scale studies were used to design a
full-scale demonstration facility. Construction began in Decem-
ber 1983. The existing treatment facility was modified for Phase
2 operation (Figure 4). On June 6, 1984, the full-scale SBR,
roughly a 1900-m3 reactor, was put on-line. The SBR was situated
in the Phase 2 operation between the storage, equalization, and
neutralization basins (Tanks L-5, L-6, L-7, and L-8) and the
activated carbon columns. Major changes to Phase 2 operation
included: construction of an insulated, covered SBR, rerouting
of wastewater from Tank L-6 to Tank L-8 for pH adjustment
with hydrochloric acid: storage of this water in Tank L-7 for
final treatment in the SBR: and use of Tank L-12 for any ad-
ditional necessary sedimentation and for use as a feed tank to
the activated carbon system.
Preliminary results from the full-scale system are presented
in Table 6. Because the first week primarily involved start-up
and stabilization, the only results for Weeks 2 through 5 are
reported in this table. All data are reported as the average of
weekly averages. The data for phenol, TOC, effluent suspended
solids (SS), and sludge volume index (SVI) all indicate acceptable
treatment as anticipated from the bench -scale reactors. In ad-
dition, TOC degradation decreased from 86% in Week 2 to 72%
in Week 5. Such results were expected, because lab reactors typ-
ically required 4 to 8 weeks for treatment to stabilize fully.
Flow through the SBR averaged 220 m3/d, giving an 8- to 9-
day detention time, and representing approximately 90% of the
wastewater processed at the Niagara Falls site. As anticipated,
there was significantly Tess reliance on activated carbon to remove
contaminants of concern during this period.

CONCLUSIONS
• Nine bench -scale SBR reactors have been operated during
the past year. Detention times of 1.25 to 10 days were investi-
gated, with acceptable results for all anticipated full-scale flows.
• One of these SBRs operated for 8 months at temperatures
as low as 3°C to simulate winter operations. Results for this
reactor were not as favorable as an identical control reactor op-
erated simultaneously between 21 and 25°C, but discharge lim-
itations for TOC and phenol removal were maintained provided
the rate of temperature decrease was controlled.
• One reactor was operated with up to 6 hours of stirred, and
unstirred, unaerated feed with very favorable results. Such en-
ergy -saving operational strategies for use in the full-scale reactor
are under consideration.
• Construction of a 1900 m3 SBR was completed in May
1984, and operation began 1 month later. TOC degradation
averaged 76% and phenol degradation averaged 99.0% during
the first month of operation. All other data indicated proper
performance.
• The role of organic contaminant removal has shifted from
adsorption on activated carbon to degradation in the SBR. With
the use of carbon for polishing purposes, a significant cost and
energy savings is anticipated.
