Dear Mr. McIntire:
As we had discussed, we will not begin operation of the force main to Outfall 003 until later than
indicated in our NPDES Permit Application. Our current permit allows us to discharge non-
contact cooling water to Outfall 001 until June 30, 1998. We had anticipated the force main
being operational at that time.
We have updated our Plant start-up schedule based on the most current business conditions. This
new schedule allows for start-up of the force main and discharge to Outfall 003 by the end of
October 1998.
We are hereby requesting an extension of the period during which we can discharge non-contact
cooling water to Outfall 001. Please extend the June 30, 1998 date to October 30, 1998.
Enclosed is a check in the amount of$100.00 for this change to our permit.
Thank-you for your assistance. If you require additional information, please contact me.
Sincerely,

From: Mark McIntire
Subject: Corning Permit Modification
Corning's Concord Plant
NPDES Permit Number NC0086169
Corning has requested two permit modifications to their NPDES permit issued in November 1997. Specifically, they
have requested an extension from June 30, 1998 to October 31, 1998 for the inclusion of all wastewater into outfall
003. Additionally, they have requested that after the 31"of October, they be authorized to continue discharge
humidification boiler blowdown through outfall 002. The time extension has been granted without additional changes.
Regarding the discharge of boiler blowdown through 002, because the receiving stream for this outfall is essentially a
zero flow water body, and in light of the presence of biocides in the blowdown, a chronic toxicity testing condition has
been included on a quarterly basis.

Subject: Request to move Humidification Boiler Blowdown to Outfall 002
•
Dear Mr.McIntire: •
I have talked to Jon Wills,the person who did the calculations showing the percentage of
our discharge that our humidification boiler contributes. Our request to move this discharge to
our stormwater outfall is based on two facts. The flow volume is very insignificant compared to
our total discharge volume and the geographical location of our boiler in the plant is such that
added equipment is needed to pump the condensate to our lift station. A stormwater outfall is
located in the vicinity. This change would save Corning tens of thousands of dollars. Below is a
summary of the flow data. Attached is an analysis of the Betz chemicals in the stream for your
records.
There was an error in the earlier data that Christy sent. Mr. Wills did not take into
account the non-contact cooling tower blowdown inhis calculation. He thought that our 27,400 •
gpd flow limit included the tower blowdown,but it does not. That is more favorable for our
analysis. I apologize for the change in the data,due to the situation here at the time,some things
were done more hastily than they should have been.
Flow calculations:
•
Process Effluent Flow 27400
•
HVAC Cooling Tower Blowdown 29660
• ECWS Cooling Tower Blowdown 3840 •
Humidification Boiler Blowdown 960 •
Total flow to 003 61860
•
Percentage of Boiler
Blowdown to Total 1.55%
Thank you for your attention on this matter. I would appreciate an answer as soon as yoti can
provide one./Oft-
