SUPPLEMENT TO EFFLUENT LIMITATIONS AND MONITORING REQUIREMENTS
SPECIAL CONDITIONS
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 1.9 %.
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, and 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 11 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:
Environmental Sciences Section
North Carolina Division of
Water Quality
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 permittee
will complete the information located at the top of the aquatic toxicity (AT) 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 altemate monitoring requirements or limits.
If the Permittee monitors any pollutant more frequently then required by this permit, the results of such monitoring shall he
included in the calculation & reporting of the data submitted on the DMR & all AT Forms submitted.
NOTE: 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.

After reviewing the DRAFT permit modification for the WWTP, we have the
following comments for your review:
A) From the page entitled "SUPPLEMENT TO PERMIT COVER SHEET," for "True
Elkin, Inc. is hereby authorized to: 1. continue to operate an existing 4.0 MGD
extended aeration system treating combined industrial wastewater
• gas chlorination with chlorine contact chamber"
Please note that we do not have a gas chlorination system any longer. Since I have
been here, the facility has operated using "a suspension of dissolved calcium
hypochlorite."
B) From the page "A (1). EFFLUENT LIMITATIONS AND MONITORING
REQUIREMENTS," for Effluent Characteristics Total Lead and Total Arsenic, I
believe the Sample Type should be "Composite" instead of "Grab."
With regard to the remaining draft permit modification, everything looks great! If
there is anything else you may need, please feel free to call me at [phone].
Thanks so much for your prompt efforts to complete this permit modification.
Sincerely,

PERMIT HISTORY AND COMPLIANCE REVIEW
Fact Sheet
Rcne\\ al -- NPDES Permit NC00053I2
Page I

Previous Permit and Waste Load Allocation (WLA). Division WLA records for True Elkin date
from 1986. The Division prepared a WLA in February 1994 and developed effluent limits and
monitoring considering an in -stream waste concentration (IWC) of 1.9 %. The permit was modified
one time during the previous cycle to reflect owner change.
Whole Effluent Toxicity (WET) Tests and Notices of Violation (NOVs). True Elkin, Inc. has
experienced no failed toxicity tests during the Division's period of record (since before January 1997).
Division records document "pass" through February 2008. Since the last permit was issued (March 29,
2005) until September, 2008 the facility received only two NOVs for violating fecal coliform limit.
Compliance Evaluation Inspection conducted on 10/3/07 found the facility to be in compliance.
Verifying Existing Stream Conditions. The Division has verified that this facility discharges to the
Yadkin River [stream segment 12-53], a Class C stream within the Yadkin -Pee Dee River Basin. This
stream segment is not "impaired" [not 303(d) listed according to the 2008 Draft ].
Review of Production Data. The Permittee supplied annual production data for four years (2005 through
2007) as average pounds per day produced discretely under each 40CFR 410 subpart. Annual averages
assume a 5-day workweek.
PERMITTING APPROACH
Federal Regulations. Technology -based regulations applicable to this facility are described in 40CFR 410,
Textile Mills Point Source Category, as defined in the following subparts:
• Subpart C — Low Water Use Processing
• Subpart D — Woven Fabric Finishing
• Subpart G — Stock and Yarn Finishing
• Subpart H — Nonwoven Manufacturing, and also specifically
• 410.42 (b), 410.52 (b) — defining a complex manufacturing operation.
Production -- Establishing a Long-term Average. The Permittee presented production as Calendar
Average Production and Maximum Weekly Average Production in pounds per day (see attached application).
The Division concurs that these data reasonably represent this facility's production history. In keeping with
EPA Region 4 guidance (March 27, 2003), the Division has applied these production figures as a long-term
average to calculate technology -based permit limits under each of the five Subparts listed above. The
following tables summarize these calculations.
Tables 2 through 5 present limits calculations per subpart. Renewal limits are additive, i.e., a sum of all
subparts (see summation, Table 6). Under each subpart, the Division used the Operating Rate Cycle Average
(lbs / day) to calculate both Daily Maximums and Monthly Averages.

Interface FABRIC'"
NICOLE JOHNSTON
ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGER
JUNE 30, 2008
MRS. DINA SPRINKLE
NCDENR — DIVISION OF WATER QUALITY
1617 MAIL SERVICE CENTER
RALEIGH, NC 27699-1617
Dear Mrs. Sprinkle:
Enclosed please find three copies of an application for renewal of NPDES Wastewater Permit No.
NC0005312. Information compiled in this package, which includes completed copies of EPA Forms
3510-1 and 3510-2C as well as all required attachments, is supported by data from our priority
pollutant analysis completed in 2007 and some additional data from monitoring completed in 2008.
During this renewal, there have been several relevant changes at the facility that warrant mentioning
in this cover letter. These issues include facility ownership changes, production changes, and land
application permit changes for the facility. Furthermore, for this permit renewal, we are requesting
some changes to the frequency of monitoring for certain pollutants. Each of these areas is discussed
below:
FACILITY OWNERSHIP CHANGES
InterfaceFABRIC Elkin, Inc. was sold by Interface, Inc. in June of 2007 to Sun Capital, Inc. As part
of this divestment, the name of InterfaceFABRIC Elkin, Inc. will be changing to True Elkin, Inc. A
change of name form will be mailed once the name change becomes effective.
PRODUCTION CHANGES
InterfaceFABRIC Elkin, Inc. has provided actual production for InterfaceFABRIC Elkin, Inc. and the
adjoining WestPoint Stevens facility in Form 2C and Appendix A for the years 2005-2007 year-to-
date. The applicable effluent guidelines have been identified for each production unit. As a recent
development, one part of the facility (Weave 3) has closed. The operations completed here have been
transferred to another facility in our company located in Lancaster, South Carolina.

LAND APPLICATION CHANGES
Modifications to Attachment B for NPDES Permit Number WQ0013982 (Land Application Permit)
are enclosed in Appendix E. In particular, three tracts of land were added to the permit (GH01,
GH02, and GH03), whereas three other fields were removed from the program (CWO1, CRO1, and
CR02).
MONITORING REQUESTS
For this permit renewal, we are requesting some changes to the frequency of monitoring for certain
pollutants. In particular, based on our past DMR data for the last year, the following changes are
requested:
\p a) Reduce our monitoring for chromium from bi-monthly to monthly sampling. Our facility
only reported two chromium readings on the DMR for reporting year 2007.
4.4 b) Reduce monitoring requirements for benzene and ethylbenzene from quarterly to semi-
annually based on the most recent year's DMR data showing non -detect for these parameters
for reporting year 2007.
c) Reduce our monitoring for total phosphorus from weekly to bi-monthly. The highest value
that was reported in 2007 was 10.05 lbs/day, which corresponds to 1.15mg/L.
We sincerely appreciate the assistance provided by NC DENR in preparing this application. If you
need any other information, please feel free to give me a call at [phone] at your convenience.
Sincerely,
Nicole Johnston
