Department of Natural Resources and Community Development Division of Environmental Management 512 North Salisbury Street Raleigh, NC 27611 DEC 1 1 1986 4S PERMITS & ENGINEERING 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, GSX CORPORATION Nelson V. Mossholder, Ph.D. Director of Technical Services 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.

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.

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. cc: Steve Tedder Mick Noland Dennis Ramsey Alan Klimek Bill Kreutzberger Ken Eagleson John Dorney Dale Overcash Dave Vogt Meg Kerr Permit No. NC0044725 STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES & COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIVISION OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PERMIT To Discharge Wastewater Under the NATIONAL POLLUTANT DISCHARGE ELIMINATION SYSTEM In compliance with the provisions of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1, other lawful standards, and regulations promulgated and adopted by the North Carolina Environmental Management Commission, and the Federal Water Pollution Control Act, as amended, Laurinburg-Maxton Airport Commission is hereby authorized to discharge wastewater from a facility located at Laurinburg-Maxton Airport Wastewater Treatment Plant on NCSR 1434 East of Laurinburg Scotland County to receiving waters designated as the Lumber River in the Lumber River Basin in accordance with effluent limitations, monitoring requirements, and other conditions set forth in Part 1, I1, and III hereof.

M DIVISION OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT September 5, 1986 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.

SCHEDULE OF COMPLIANCE 1. The permittee shall achieve compliance with the effluent limitations specified for discharges in accordance with the folllowing schedule: 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. IN1C10101 1 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. 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 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 grab samples be greater than six hours nor the number of grab samples less than four during any discharge period of 24 hours or less. j. Grab Sample: Grab samples are individual samples collected over a period of time not exceeding 15 minutes; the grab sample can be taken manually. M 6 Permit No. 4. Test Procedures NiCi0101 11111 Test procedures for the analysis of pollutants shall conform to the EMC regulations published pursuant to N.C.G.S. 143-215.63 et seq, the Water and Air Quality Reporting Act, and to regulations published pursuant to Section 304(g), 33 USC 1314, of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act, As Amended, and Regulation 40 CFR 136. 5. Recording Results For each measurement or sample taken pursuant to the requirements of this permit, the permittee shall record the following information: a. The exact place, date, and time of sampling; b. The dates the analyses were performed; and c. The person(s) who performed the analyses. 6. Additional Monitoring by Permittee If the permittee monitors any pollutant at the location(s) designated herein more frequently than required by this permit, using approved analytical methods as specified above, the results of such monitoring shall be included in the calculation and reporting of the values is required in the DMR. Such increased frequency shall also be indicated. The DEM may require more frequent monitoring or the monitoring of other pollutants not required in this permit by written notification. 7. Records Retention All records and information resulting from the monitoring activities required by this Permit including all records of analyses performed and calibration and maintenance of instrumentation and recordings from continuous monitoring instrumentation shall be retained for a minimum of three (3) years. This period of retention shall be extended during the course of any unresolved litigation or if requested by the Division of Environmental Management or the Regional Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency. M 7 Permit No. ;NWC=OWI I PART II GENERAL CONDITIONS A. MANAGEMENT REQUIREMENTS 1. Change in Discharge All discharges authorized herein shall be consistent with the terms and conditions of this permit. The discharge of any pollutant identified in this permit more frequently than or at a level in excess of that authorized shall constitute a violation of the permit. Any anticipated facility expansions, production increases, or process modifications which will result in new, different, or increased discharges of pollutants must be reported by submission of a new NPDES application or, if such changes will not violate the effluent limitations specified in this permit, by notice to the DEM of such changes. Following such notice, the permit may be modified to specify and limit any pollutants not previously limited. 2. Noncompliance Notification The permittee shall report by telephone to either the central office or appropriate regional office of the division as soon as possible but in no case more than 24 hours or on the next working day following the occurrence or first knowledge of the occurrence of any of the following: a. Any occurrence at the water pollution control facility which results in the discharge of significant amounts of wastes which are abnormal in quantity or characteristic, such as the dumping of the contents of a sludge digester, the known passage of a slug of hazardous substance through the facility or any other unusual circumstances. b. Any process unit failure, due to known or unknown reasons, that render the facility incapable of adequate wastewater treatment, such as mechanical or electrical failures of pumps, aerators, compressors, etc. c.

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. GE:JD/jhs cc: Page Benton Steve Tedder Dennis Ramsey Alan Klimek .

Paul Wilms Director 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 Pollution Prevention Pays P.O. Box 27687, Raleigh, North Carolina 27611-7687 Telephone 919-733-7015 An Equal Opportunity Affirmative Action Employer Mr. Steve Floyd June 6, 1986 - page two - 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.

Page 2. 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: Page 3.. - 1l 1./A1 ke sof tus tisk a) biodegradation by microorganisms b) volatilization c) chemical oxidation - reduction reactions sedimentation uptake by the stream biota chemical specialization complexation and binding to inorganic particulates they and natural clean Mechanisms within the riverine environment 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. Page 4. If you have additional questions, I will be happy to address them. NVM/hhk cc: W. Meyer NCDHR P.

Director Technical Services 1 March 13, 1986 • To: George Everett Through: Alan Klimek Bill Kreutzberger b4144 From: John Dorney Gip 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. 7 Table 1 • Toxicants in Lumber River Near Maxton (1981 to 1985) (#02133624) Water Quality Drinking Water Metals Maximum Minimum Standard Standard Al 600 ug/1 400 ug/1 none none As 12 < 10 50 ug/1 50 ug/1 Cd < 50 < 20 2.0 ug/1 10 ug/1 Co <100 < 20 1.0 mg/1 none Cr < 50 < 50 50 ug/1 50 ug/1' Cu <100 < 40 15 ug/1 50 ug/1 Fe 1100 200 1.0 mg/1 1.0 mg/1 Hg < .5 < .2 0.2 ug/1 2.0 ug/1 Ni <100 <100 50 ug/1 none Pb <100 <100 25 ug/1 50 ug/1 Zn 60 < 20 50 ug/1 50 ug/1 Organics 3 Samples di-n-octyl phthalate: 740 ug/1 ethyl butyl phthalate: 12 Need (several (N = 3) samples Metals: As, Ba, Be, Cn, Se, Ag Organics: All fractions including TBTO 8 alb . • Table 2 Toxicants in LMAC Effluent Metals 9/25/85 7/24/85 6/28/85 4/4/85 6/28/85 11/4/83 9/19/E ug/1 Al 1400 400 300 <100 300 - 800 Cd < 20 <20 - < 20 < 20 < 20 < 20 Co 700 - - 300 8400 1100 1300 Cr < 50 <50 - < 50 < 50 < 50 < 50 Cu 90 60 - 40 40 90 160 Fe 2200 700 500 300 500 900 500 Hg 0.6 0.2 - <0.2 - 0.5 Mn 50 - - < 50 - - Ni <100 <100 - <100 <100 <100 <100 Pb <100 <100 - <100 <100 <100 <100 Zn 410 280 200 150 200 430 240 Phenols - <5ug/1 Organics - - - 1 unidentified - - - peak at 15 ug/1 -pesticides not run - purgeables not run - herbicides not run 9 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 for BCF > 1000 4.25 fish Veith, et al. 1984 4.81 fish Kenaga, et al. 1980 5.28 trout Kenaga, et al. 1980 4.06 trout Oliver and Niimi 1984 3.87 trout Oliver and Niimi 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. cc. Dennis Ramsey Steve Tedder Bill Mills Mick Nolan Ken Eagleson Doug Finan DIVISION OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT February 21, 1986 MEMO TO: George Everett FROM: John Dorneib THROUGH; Bill Kreutzber er WQ `J'G Alan Klimek 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 Only SCA conducts bioassays of their effluent. Acute tests George Everett February 21, 1986 Page 2 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. George Everett February 21, 1986 Page 4 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. Metals: Aluminum (in progress) Barium Volatile Organic Chemicals Chloroform Methylene Chloride 1,2-dichloroethane trichloroethylene 1,2-dichloroethylene 1,1,2,2-tetrachloroethane Carbon tetrachloride Tetrachloroethylene 1,1-dichloroethane Vinyl Chloride Non - Volatile Organic Chemicals Isophorone 2-chlorophenol 2-nitro phenol Pentachlorophenol Trichlorophenol Hexachlorobutadiene 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene George Everett February 21, 1986 Page 5 diethyl hexyl phthalate di-n-butyl phthalate DDE DDD 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. George Everett February 21, 1986 Page 6 cc.

DIVISION OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT February 14, 1986 MEMORANDUM TO: Arthur Mouberry FROM: Steve Zoufaly THRU: Meg Kerr g 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. SZ/gh MEMORANDUM TO: FROM: THROUGH: DIVISION OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT January 16, 1986 George Everett John Dorney Alan Klimek U Bill. Kreutzberger?i JAN1? 1986 PERMITS 4 ENGINEERING 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 George Everett January 16, 1986 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.

Box 210799 100 Executive Center Drive Santee Building, Suite 128 Columbia, South Carolina 29221 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. Pollution Prevention Pay. P.O Box 27687, Raleigh, North Carolina 27611-7687 Telephone 919-733-7015 An Equal Opportunity Affirmative Action Emnlourr 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.

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 the operators.s vr400.�"_ .

State Health Director 919/733-2870 DEC 17 198! 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, .C/44P4v 7 James F. Stamey, Chief Environmental Health Section cc: Ronald H.

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. cerely, De is E. Harrington Health Director cc: Scotland -County Boards of Health and County Commissioners • Scotland County Permit Review.Committee ► DIVISION OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT October 16, 1985 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. cc: Dennis Ramsey Monitoring Recommendations GSX Hazardous Waste Treatment Facility I. Indirect Discharge GSX 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-- -• 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 _ These initial studies were the basis fora 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 • December 1985 1163- Herzbrun et al. Table 1—Effluent limitations.

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. Table 2—Reactor operating strategies.

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- MONTHLY AVERAGES OF INFLUENT TOC VS.

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 Table 4—Performance data.

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 VS.

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 Phase 1 Water Phase 2 Water Leachate L-5 1.140m3 L-6 L-7 1,140m3 1,140m3 HCI Storage Tank L-8 170m3 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.

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 - - • ACKNOWLEDGMENTS - Credits.

Noland, Regional Supervisor Fayetteville Regional Office Proposed Hazardous Waste Treatment Facility GSX Corporation Laurinburg-Maxton Airport Commission U. S. Hwy 74, Scotland County 144,Q RECEIVED LJT 0 1 1985 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. Bill Mills Water Quality Section September 30, 1985 Page 2 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 advise. 14, MJN/cbm 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 -1163 • • Herzbrun et al. Table 1—Effluent limitations.

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. Table 2—Reactor operating strategies.

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- MONTHLY AVERAGES OF INFLUENT TOC VS.

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 Table 4—Performance data.

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. 70 a] so— E 40— or 230- 20 10 PHENOL VS.

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 Phase 1 Water Phase 2 Water Leachate L•S L-6 L-7 1,140m3 1,140m3 1,140m3 HC1 Storsge Tank 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.

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. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Credits.
