Surry County
Class IV Facility
Dear Mr. Walker:
John E. Skvada, III
Secretary
Division personnel have reviewed and approved your application for renewal of the
subject permit. Accordingly, we are forwarding the attached NPDES permit. This
permit is issued pursuant to the requirements of North Carolina General Statute 143-
215.1 and the Memorandum of Agreement between North Carolina and the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency dated October 15, 2007 (or as subsequently
amended).
Your final permit includes the following changes from your previous permit:
Based on the results of a reasonable potential analysis monitoring for chloride,
lead, arsenic, benzene and ethyl benzene were eliminated from the permit.
Proposed limits for COD, BOD, TSS, sulfide, phenols and total chromium are
based on current production.
Monitoring frequencies for total nitrogen and total phosphorus were reduced to
monthly.
In addition a special condition was added to your permit including requirements
for electronic reporting. Proposed federal regulations require electronic submittal of
all discharge monitoring reports (DMRs) and specify that, if a state does not
establish a system to receive such submittals, then permittees must submit DMRs
electronically to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The Division
anticipates that these regulations will be adopted and is beginning implementation.

A. (2.) CHRONIC TOXICITY PERMIT LIMIT (QUARTERLY)
The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit observable inhibition of reproduction or significant mortality
to Ceriodaphnia dabia at an effluent concentration of 1.9%.
The permit holder shall perform at a minimum, quarter monitoring using test procedures outlined in the
"North Carolina Ceriodaphnia Chronic Effluent Bioassay Procedure," Revised December 2010, or
subsequent versions or "North Carolina Phase 11 Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure'
(Revised- December 2010) or subsequent versions. The tests will be performed February, May, August,
and November. These months signify the first month of each three month toxicity testing quarter
assigned to the facility. Effluent sampling for this testing must be obtained during representative effluent
discharge and 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 -December 2010) 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 THP311 for the Chronic Value. Additionally, DWR Form AT-3 (original) is to
be sent to the following address:
Attention: North Carolina Division of Water Resources
Environmental Sciences Section
1621 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1621
Completed Aquatic Toxicity Test Forms shall be filed with the Environmental Sciences Section 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 Section 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. Assessment of toxicity compliance is based on the toxicity
testing quarter, which is the three month time interval that begins on the fast day of the month in which
toxicity testing is required by this permit and continues until the final day of the third month.
Page 4 of 6

Permit NC0005312
Should any test data from this monitoring requirement or tests performed by the North Carolina Division of
Water Resources 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 than 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
Form 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.

SUMMARY
True Elkin, Inc owns and operates a textile manufacturing facility in Elkin, Surry County. The
facility finishes woven upholstery fabric from primarily manmade and some natural fibers.
Operations include fabric finishing, yarn extrusion, and limited weaving. The facility generates
wastewater from the manufacturing process and utilities. They used to receive wastewater from an
adjacent facility which is now vacant.
The on -site treatment system consists of manual bar screen, equalization basin, aeration basin,
dual secondary clarifiers, chlorine contact chamber, dechlorination, aerobic digester, and sludge
drying beds.
RECEIVING STREAM
This facility discharges to the Yadkin River in the Yadkin -Pee Dee River Basin, classified C,
HUC 0304010106. This section of the river is listed in the 2012 303(d) list as impaired for
turbidity. Construction, agriculture and stormwater runoff are potential sources of turbidity.
PERmrMNG APPROACH
True Elkin is regulated under technology -based federal guidelines 40 CFR 410 Textile Mills Point
Source Category Subpart C - Low Water Use Processing Subcategory and Subpart D - Woven
Fabric Finishing Subcategory. Production data for 2010 to 2012 is summarized in Table 1. 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
applicable Subparts as shown in Tables 2 and 3.

Re: Permit Renewal Application
NPDES Permit No. NC0005312
Mr. Charles H. Weaver
NC DENR / DWO / NPDES Unit
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, NC 27699-1617
Dear Mr. Weaver:
Enclosed please find (1) Original and (2) copies of an application for renewal of NPDES Wastewater
Permit No. NC0005312.
True Elkin, Inc. experienced a major downsizing of facility operations in 2009 resulting in the
elimination of multiple process operations including fabric dyeing, some yam manufacturing processes
and production weaving processes. The net result eliminated process water flows from Subpart E, G
8 H categories. For this reason, the production data included in the permit renewal is from 2010 to
2012 as the information is representative of current operations.
The 2008 application also included effluent information from a neighboring manufacturing facility not
owned or operated by True Elkin, Inc. This facility was known as Westpoint Stevens. (WPS) W PS
has moved out of the facility and the facility remains vacant.
This permit application includes completed EPA forms 3510-1 and 3510-2c as well as all required
attachments. The data is supported by permit required periodic test results as well as our 2012 priority
pollutant analysis.
Should you have any questions or need any additional information, please feel free to call me at your
convenience.

Land Application Summary
True Elkin, Inc.
True Textiles, Inc. has a permit for Land Application of Residual Solids (NPDES
Permit No. WQ0013982). The permit expires December 31, 2013 and is in the process
for renewal. The program is managed in house by Operator in Responsible Charge, Glen
Gary License No 994475, with support from outside contractor S & ME located in
Greensboro, NC.
True Textiles, Inc. generated approximately 75 cubic yards of residual solids
during the 2012 calendar year. The residuals are being temporarily stored on one of the
sand drying beds located at the Wastewater Treatment Plant. True Textiles, Inc. estimates
there are a minimum of 700 cubic yards of storage space on site and 150 cubic yards
currently on the storage bed. Once enough residual solids have been generated to justify
a land application event, one will be scheduled in the future.
Attached are copies of the 2012 Annual Report Confirmation, 2011 Compliance
Inspection and a copy of our Land Application O&M Manual excerpted from the WWTP
O&M Manual.
