A; (2) CHRONIC TOXICITY PERMIT LIMIT (Quarterly)
The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit observable inhibition of reproduction or significant mortality to
Ceriodaphnia dubia at an effluent concentration of 16%.
The permit holder shall perform at a minimum, quarterly monitoring using test procedures outlined in the "North
Carolina Ceriodaphnia Chronic Effluent Bioassay Procedure," Revised February 1998, or subsequent versions or
"North Carolina Phase II Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure" (Revised -February 1998) or subsequent
versions. The tests will be performed during the months of February, May, August, November. Effluent sampling for this
testing shall be performed at the NPDES permitted final effluent discharge below all treatment processes.
If the test procedure performed as the first test of any single quarter results in a failure or ChV below the permit limit,
then multiple -concentration testing shall be performed at a minimum, in each of the two following months as
described in "North Carolina Phase II Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure" (Revised -February 1998) or
subsequent versions.
The chronic value for multiple concentration tests will be determined using the geometric mean of the highest
concentration having no detectable impairment of reproduction or survival and the lowest concentration that does
have a detectable impairment of reproduction or survival. The definition of "detectable impairment," collection
methods, exposure regimes, and further statistical methods are specified in the "North Carolina Phase II Chronic
Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure" (Revised -February 1998) or subsequent versions.
All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit condition will be entered on the Effluent Discharge
Monitoring Form (MR-1) for the months in which tests were performed, using the parameter code TGP3B for the
pass/fail results and THP3B for the Chronic Value. Additionally, DWQ Form AT-3 (original) is to be sent to the
following address:
Attention: NC DENR / DWQ / Environmental Sciences Section
1621 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1621
Completed Aquatic Toxicity Test Forms shall be filed with the Environmental Sciences Branch no later than 30 days
after the end of the reporting period for which the report is made.
Test data shall be complete, accurate, include all supporting chemical/physical measurements and all
concentration/response data, and be certified by laboratory supervisor and ORC or approved designate signature.
Total residual chlorine of the effluent toxicity sample must be measured and reported if chlorine is employed for
disinfection of the waste stream.'
Should there be no discharge of flow from the facility during a month in which toxicity monitoring is required, the
perrittee will complete the information located at the top of the aquatic toxicity (Al) test form indicating the facility
name, permit number, pipe number, county, and the month/year of the report with the notation of "No Flow" in the
comment area of the form. The report shall be submitted to the Environmental Sciences Branch at the address cited
above.
Should the permittee fail to monitor during a month in which toxicity monitoring is required, monitoring will be
required during the following month.
Should any test data from this monitoring requirement or tests performed by the North Carolina Division of Water
Quality indicate potential impacts to the receiving stream, this permit may be re -opened and modified to include
alternate monitoring requirements or limits.
If the Permittee monitors any pollutant more frequently then required by this permit, the results of such monitoring
shall be included in the calculation & reporting of the data submitted on the DMR & all AT Forms submitted.
NO 1"h: Failure to achieve test conditions as specified in the cited document, such as minimum control organism survival,
minimum control organism reproduction, and appropriate environmental controls, shall constitute an invalid test and will require
immediate follow-up testing to be completed no later than the last day of the month following the month of the initial
monitoring.

Summary
The Baxter Corporation requires a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES)
discharge permit to dispose of treated non -contact cooling water, boiler feed water, process
wastewater, and sanitary wastewater through surface water discharge. Baxter Corporation's
NPDES permit has expired and they have requested renewal of their permit. The source of the
wastewater is non -contact cooling water, boiler feed water, process water, and sanitary
wastewater. Wastewater is treated using the following treatment units:
• Equalization with Neutralization
• Nutrient addition
• Aeration
• Clarification with sludge recycle
• Aerobic digestion
• Upflow sand filtration
• UV disinfection

NPDES Renewal (NC0006554)

After treatment, wastewater is discharged through outfall 001 into the North Fork Catawba River,
which is classified B-Trout Waters,'' in the Catawba River Basin.
In 1995, the Division of Water Quality issued an Authorization to Construct that permitted the
construction of a new outfall into the North Fork Catawba River 3.2 miles upstream of the
confluence with Armstrong Creek. Prior to 1996, Baxter Healthcare and Americian Threads
discharged through outfalls constructed at the same location in the North Fork Catawba River
(0.2 miles downstream of the confluence with Armstrong Creek).
Current Stream Conditions
Currently, Baxter Healthcare discharges into the North Fork Catawba River, 3.2 miles upstream
of the confluence with Armstrong Creek. American Threads, the only other discharger in the
area, discharges into the North Fork Catawba River, 0.2 miles downstream of the confluence _
with Armstrong Creek.
In 1994, DWQ modeled the North Fork Catawba River from Baxter Corporation's outfall to
Lake James. The model included the interactions of Baxter's discharge with American Threads.
The North Fork Catawba River changes classification 0.2 miles upstream of American Threads
discharge, at the confluence of Armstong Creek and North Fork Catawba River. The upstream
classification is B —Tr and the downstream classification is C.
The model indicated that dissolved oxygen concentrations from the outfall to the confluence with
Armstrong Creek did not fall below the state standard of 6.0 mg/L for trout waters. The lowest
predicted value in this reach did not fall below 7.0 mg/L, therefore it is not recommended that an
additional monitoring station be added to the permit.
Technology Based Effluent Limit Development
BOD5, COD, and TSS are based on effluent guidelines (40 CFR 439 Subpart D) and have been •
recalculated to reflect the most current data available (See attached calculations). The results of
these calculations are less stringent than the limits in the current permit. Since the facility has no
plans to expand production in the foreseeable future (per the facility), it is recommended that the
old limits are maintained.
According to the new calculation an oil & grease (O&G) limit is lower than in the previous
permit. An oil and grease limit consists of two components. First component is cooling water
from the extruders, and is limited per 40 CFR 463 Subpart A — Plastic Molding and Forming
Point Source Category. The other component is sanitary wastewater, which is limited based on
BPJ of 30 mg/L monthly average and 60 mg/L daily maximum. The process wastewater covered
under 40 CFR 439 does not provide an allocation. It is recommended that the old O&G limit is
maintained.
Toxicity Testing
Current Requirement: Quarterly Chronic Toxicity @ 16% FEB, MAY, AUG, NOV
Recommended Requirement: Quarterly Chronic Toxicity @ 16% FEB, MAY, AUG, NOV
The facility has been consistently passing its WET test.
Compliance Summary
DMRs have been reviewed for the period from January 2006 through August 2009. Facility has
an excellent compliance record. A compliance evaluation inspection conducted on April 8, 2008
determined that the facility is in compliance.
Fact Sheet
NPDES Renewal (NC0006554)

Instream Monitoring
The facility is required to conduct self -monitoring of the North Fork Catawba River at one
location upstream of the discharge and one location downstream of the discharge. _The instream
self -monitoring include`s:'BOD5, fecal coliform, temperature, conductivity, and dissolved oxygen.
An analysis of DO, temperature and conductivity for the past year showed that the facility may
have some negative impact on DO and conductivity of the stream water.
Proposed Changes
• Monitoring Frequencies: No changes are proposed.
• Limits: No changes are proposed.

SLUDGE MANAGEMENT PLAN
Waste activated sludge is pumped to two aerobic digesters. The sludge is digested and
thickened by repeatedly allowing the solids to settle out and draining off the excess treatable
water. The digested sludge is then dewatered through a filter press to a 14%-20% cake.
Drainage from the sludge and wash down from the filter press is pumped back to the aeration
basins for re -circulation through the activated sludge process. The cake is conveyed to a dump
trailer positioned under a covered roof. Once this trailer is filled it is picked up by Southern Soil
Builders, Inc. who transport the cake to Catawba County where it is land applied to four field
sites totaling 80.8 net acres. Our sludge land application permit number is WQ0031725.
