should be adjusted for certain plants in
this industry. An individual discharger
or other interested person nra,v submit,
evidence to the Regional Adminis-
trator (or to the State. if the State has
the authority to issue NPDES permits)
that factors relating to the equipment
or facilities involved. the process ap-
plied. or other such factors related to
such discharger are fundamentally dif-
ferent from the factors considered in
the Establishment of the guidelines. On
the basis of such evidence or other
available information. the Regional
Administrator (or the State) will make
a written finding that such factors are
or are not fundamentally different for
that facility compared to those speci-
fied in the Development Document. If
such fundamentally- different, factors
are found to exist, the Regional Admin-
istrator or the State shall establish for
the discharger effluent limitations in
the NPDES permit either more or less
stringent than the limitations estab-
lished herein. to the extent dictated by
such fundamentally different factors.

Permit Renewal Application
Gentlemen:
Attached please find a copy of our NPDES permit renewal application, three (3) copies
and a check for $400. The current permit expires on September 30, 1994 and the renewal
180 day period begins April 3, 1994.
We have been in contact with Mr. Michael Parker, of the Mooresville Regional Office,
concerning several upgrades and modifications we intend to make to our system. He,
along with Raleigh personnel, have determined that these mods will not require an
"Authorization to Construct" and that we can begin making the modifications once capital
money is approved.
The proposed modifications and upgrades were%outlined to Mr. Parker in a letter dated
3/25/94 and are duplicated below for your review. In short, the proposed system utilizes
the exact same treatment technology as previously utilized. The existing solids mixing.
tank, pH adjusting tanks and various system pumps will be replaced with new equipment.
The' number of pH adjusting tanks will be increased to provide more residence time. More
instrumentation has been provided to improve pH control and several interlocks have been
incorporated. The storage lagoon's volume will be increased. A detailed listing of the
specific modifications is listed below:

1. Remove all the existing equipment from the Waste Water Treatment Area,
decontaminate and dispose of. This equipment includes the pH adjustment
tanks, and the solids mixing tank.
2. This area will be cleaned and the area inspected for cracks or evidence of
leakage. This inspection shall be performed by site personnel and Dames &
Moore personnel who will verify the integrity for State/EPA purposes. This
sump pit is designated as Solid Waste Management Unit, under our site RCRA
Part A/B permit. This area will be re -lined with an appropriate concrete lining
material after any required repairs are made.
3. A new sludge hopper (solids mixing tank), of similar design shall be installed,
and overflow into the first treatment tank.
4. The residence time for neutralization will be improved by increasing the
number of pH adjusting tanks to four. New 1,000 gallon pH adjustment tanks
with agitators will be installed. Each tank will overflow into the next tank.
5. A new pump will be provided to transfer the neutralized wastes to the 2 acre
unlined storage lagoon. This pump will have instrumentation to stop pumping
if the pH adjustment tanks have not been able to adequately neutralize the
incoming wastes. It will start back up when the pH reaches the correct level.
It will have a manual override.
6. The capacity of the unlined storage lagoon will be increased by a combination
of embankment raising and solids dredging. A new decanting pump will also
be installed at the unlined storage lagoon. This pump will increase
recirculation between the storage lagoon and the pH adjustment tanks.
7. The final effluent shall be a slip stream from the returned decanting pump. It
shall be introduced to the existing settling tank. Previously I had mentioned
the use of a polishing filter however, in talking further with Dames & Moore
they have recommended upgrading the flocculent system and relying on the
settling in the lagoon and settling tank in lieu of using cartridge filters. Thus, a
new flocculent mixing and addition tank will be added.
A pH probe will be installed in the existing weir box. This final effluent pH
probe will shutdown discharge if the pH is below or above preset values.

9. Increase the pumping rate from the 1/2 acre lined storage lagoon to 100 gpm
from approximately 50 gpm. This lagoon is used for stormwater and spill
collection.

ACUTE TOXICITY PERMIT LIMIT (QRTRLY)
The permittee shall conduct acute toxicity tests on a quarterly basis using protocols defined as definitive in E.P.A.
Document 600/4-85/013 entitled "The Acute Toxicity of Effluents to Freshwater and Marine Organisms." The
monitoring shall be performed as a Fathead Minnow (Pimephales promelas) 48 hour static test, using effluent
collected as a 24 hour composite. The LC50 of this effluent using the previously stated methodology may at no
time in any toxicity test be less than $ %. Effluent samples for self -monitoring purposes must be obtained
during representative effluent discharge below all waste treatment. The first test will be performed cft'ter thirty days
from the effective date of this permit during the months of ,TAN , ,q»), J UL, of,r
The parameter code for this test is TAA6C. All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit condition
will be entered on the Effluent Discharge Monitoring Form (MR-1) for the month in which it was performed,
using the appropriate parameter code. Additionally, DEM Form AT-1 (original) is to be sent to the following
address:
Attention: Environmental Sciences Branch
North Carolina Division of
Environmental Management
4401 Reedy Creek Road
Raleigh, N.C. 27607
Test data shall be complete and accurate and include all supporting chemical/physical measurements performed in
association with the toxicity tests, as well as all dose/response data. Total residual chlorine of the effluent toxicity
sample must be measured and reported if chlorine is employed for disinfection of the waste stream.
Should any single quarterly monitoring indicate a failure to meet specified limits, then monthly monitoring will
begin immediately until such time that a single test is passed. Upon passing, this monthly test requirement will
revert to quarterly in the months specified above.
Should any test data from either these monitoring requirements or tests performed by the North Carolina Division
of Environmental Management indicate potential impacts to the receiving stream, this permit may be re -opened and
modified to include alternate monitoring requirements or limits.
NOTE: Failure to achieve test conditions as specified in the cited document, such as minimum control organism
survival and appropriate environmental controls, shall constitute an invalid test and will require immediate
retesting(within 30 days of initial monitoring event). Failure to submit suitable test results will constitute
noncompliance with monitoring requirements.

Note for Michelle Wilson

Subject: Chemical Specialties.
To: Michelle Wilson
cc: Carla Sanderson
I have the following comments concerning Chem Spec.
I would recommend limits for any of the typical toxicants they use in their production
process. The limits would either be the previously used limits or the water quality based
limits which ever is most stringent.
The Copper salts (copper nitrate) category requires 30 consecutive day sampling. Would you
want to consider 30 cons days for all POCs during each quarter? These are batch processes
where they can control their discharge.
Several pesticides which cannot be discharged are produced.
Cabarrus county said it would be several months before they developed their speculative
limits. They did ask for a copy of our draft limits as soon as they are available.

Chemical Specialties/Mineral Research is proposing to tie on to Cabarrus County Sewer.
Cab. Co. is reviewing to see if they will accept.

I have a return letter dated April 29, 1994 stating an NPDES Permit Application Return.
Therefore, I closed out our files. Then in July 14, 1994, I received a new staff report. I am
thoroughly confused.
Is this facility active or inactive? Is there anyway you can check and assist me in this mess?
If you can, I will be eternally grateful. I have not forgotten your staff reports either! ! !
Thanks.
