FACILITY SUMMARY: Wieland Copper Products,LLC(Wieland)wastewater treatment facilities
consists of a 100%-domestic wastewater treatment [currently discharging to Outfall 001]. In addition,
Wieland discharges boiler blowdown, cooling tower blowdown and non-contact cooling water[via Outfall
003]. Domestic treatment consists of a bar screen, aeration basin, clarifier,tablet-type chlorinator,tablet-
type dechlorinator, and an aerobic digester.
RENEWAL/MODIFICATION REQUEST: Wieland proposes to transfer all future discharge to Outfall
001 and discontinue discharge and monitoring at Outfall 003 except in case of emergency(requires
notification to DWR and a subsequent report—see Permit Supplement to Cover Sheet). The request to
renew this permit was received by DWR on 21Apr2022, asking the following:
• Reroute effluent from the biological plant to the 100K[gallon]
storage tanks to be treated in the process water treatment plant
• Reroute discharge from process-water treatment plant to newly
installed copper removal resin system
• Install discharge to Outfall 001 from copper removal resin system
• Reclassify Outfall 003 as"inactive"except in emergency.

Dormant Outfall 003 --At the Permittee's request,this facility's wastes shall be finally plumbed such
that both outfalls (001 and 003)may discharge the sum of all wastes. Outfall 003 is hereby designated
dormant(no discharge)for emergency use only, as approved by WSRO. The Permittee shall document all
Emergencies, as required by the permit(see Supplement to Permit Cover Sheet).
MODIFICATION SUMMARY: Because Outfall 003 is an existing [not new],the discharge of oxygen-
consuming wastes to a receiving stream under zero-flow conditions may be permitted, at the Director's
discretion [15A NCAC 02B .0206 (b) (2). Therefore,permit limits and monitoring at 003 are herein
adjusted to reflect zero-flow [7Q10 and 30Q2=0.0 cfs] in accord with 15A NCAC 02B .0206(b) (1).
Considering this non-POTW(non-publicly owned treatment works),the Monthly Average (MA)and Daily
Maximum(DM)permit limits are in part determined according to 2B .0505 [see sections A. (1.)and A. (2.)].
The Division understands that the Permittee is actively installing additional treatment for copper proposed
as Copper Removal Resin System, see application"New Equipment List"signed by Engineer, Gary
Macconnell; details included in the permit(see Supplement to Permit Cover Sheet).
Proposed Copper Treatment System Components
• control center panel [480v]
• two (2) each mixing tanks [approx. 4000 gal with liquid-level controls]
• two (2)each [1.5 hp 3500 rpm 480v]
• two (2)each tank mixers [3 hp, 1750 rpm 480v with 17" impellers spaced 32" apart]
• one(1) each acid metering pump [with pH control,probe#1]
• one(1) each caustic metering pump [with pH control,probe#2]
• resin trains 1 and 2 [with pH control,probe#3]
• appurtenant piping [schedule 80 pvc]
• four(4)canisters of resin
• flow totalizer [with pH control,probe#4]
• five(5) each carbon filters [25 micron]
Changes from Previous Permit:
1. Status of Outfall 003 revised to dormant[emergency use only with reporting]
2. Added details of proposed Copper Treatment System [Supp.to Cover Sheet] and
monitoring details for both Outfalls 001 and 003
3. Added effluent Dissolved Oxygen monitoring(limited).
Based on the DWR's review of the previous permit and discussions with Wieland Copper Products,
LLC(Wieland),this renewal reflects the following agreements:
1. combines all effluents for treatment [physical, chemical, and biological] via the WWTP
and the newly installed Copper Removal Resin System (see Supplement to Permit Cover
Sheet)
2. installs appurtenant equipment needed to combine all effluents for discharge at
both Outfalls 001 and 003 (no increase in permitted flow, 0.025 MGD)
3. revises the status of Outfall 003 as inactive [for Emergency Discharge Only],to be
activated while notifying the Division's Winston-Salem Regional Office(WSRO), [see
Supplement to Permit Cover Sheet and permit section A. (2.)].

General Information on the Reasonable Potential Analysis (RPA)
The RPA process itself did not change as the result of the new metals standards. However,
application of the dissolved and hardness-dependent standards requires additional consideration in
order to establish the numeric standard for each metal of concern of each individual discharge.
The hardness-based standards require some knowledge of the effluent and instream (upstream)
hardness and so must be calculated case-by-case for each discharge.
Metals limits must be expressed as `total recoverable' metals in accordance with 40 CFR
122.45(c). The discharge-specific standards must be converted to the equivalent total values for
use in the RPA calculations. We will generally rely on default translator values developed for each
metal (more on that below), but it is also possible to consider case-specific translators developed in
accordance with established methodology.
RPA Permitting Guidance/WQBELs for Hardness-Dependent Metals -Freshwater
The RPA is designed to predict the maximum likely effluent concentrations for each metal of
concern,based on recent effluent data, and calculate the allowable effluent concentrations,based
on applicable standards and the critical low-flow values for the receiving stream.
If the maximum predicted value is greater than the maximum allowed value (chronic or acute), the
discharge has reasonable potential to exceed the standard, which warrants a permit limit in most
cases. If monitoring for a particular pollutant indicates that the pollutant is not present(i.e.
consistently below detection level), then the Division may remove the monitoring requirement in
the reissued permit.
1. To perform a RPA on the Freshwater hardness-dependent metals the Permit Writer
compiles the following information:
• Critical low flow of the receiving stream, 7Q10 (the spreadsheet automatically
calculates the 1 Q 10 using the formula 1 Q 10= 0.843 (s7Q 10, cfs) 0.993
• Effluent hardness and upstream hardness, site-specific data is preferred
• Permitted flow
• Receiving stream classification
2. In order to establish the numeric standard for each hardness-dependent metal of concern
and for each individual discharge, the Permit Writer must first determine what effluent and
instream(upstream)hardness values to use in the equations.
The permit writer reviews DMR's, Effluent Pollutant Scans, and Toxicity Test results for
any hardness data and contacts the Permittee to see if any additional data is available for
instream hardness values,upstream of the discharge.

Permit Renewal Apr2023--NPDES Permit NCO035173
Page 5

DocuSign Envelope ID:30ADC767-BCD6-4120-B978-25BBA35A7927
If no hardness data is available, the permit writer may choose to do an initial evaluation
using a default hardness of 25 mg/L (CaCO3 or(Ca+Mg)). Minimum and maximum
limits on the hardness value used for water quality calculations are 25 mg/L and 400 mg/L,
respectively.
If the use of a default hardness value results in a hardness-dependent metal showing
reasonable potential, the permit writer contacts the Permittee and requests 5 site-specific
effluent and upstream hardness samples over a period of one week. The RPA is rerun using
the new data.
The overall hardness value used in the water quality calculations is calculated as follows:
Combined Hardness(chronic)_
(Permitted Flow,cfs*Avg.Effluent Hardness,mg2)x s7Q10,cfs *Avg.Upstream Hardness,m /g/L)
(Permitted Flow,cfs+s7Q10,cfs)
The Combined Hardness for acute is the same but the calculation uses the 1Q10 flow.
3. The permit writer converts the numeric standard for each metal of concern to a total
recoverable metal, using the EPA Default Partition Coefficients (DPCs) or site-specific
translators, if any have been developed using federally approved methodology.
EPA default partition coefficients or the"Fraction Dissolved"converts the value for
dissolved metal at laboratory conditions to total recoverable metal at in-stream ambient
conditions.This factor is calculated using the linear partition coefficients found in The
Metals Translator: Guidance for Calculating a Total Recoverable Permit Limit from a
Dissolved Criterion(EPA 823-B-96-007,June 1996)and the equation:
Cdiss — 1
Ctotal 1 + { [Kpo] [SS(I+a)] [10-6] }
Where:
ss=in-stream suspended solids concentration[mg/1],minimum of 10 mg/L used,and
Kpo and a=constants that express the equilibrium relationship between dissolved and
adsorbed forms of metals.A list of constants used for each hardness-dependent metal can
also be found in the RPA program under a sheet labeled DPCs.
4. The numeric standard for each metal of concern is divided by the default partition
coefficient(or site-specific translator) to obtain a Total Recoverable Metal at ambient
conditions.
In some cases, where an EPA default partition coefficient translator does not exist(ie.
silver), the dissolved numeric standard for each metal of concern is divided by the EPA
conversion factor to obtain a Total Recoverable Metal at ambient conditions. This method
presumes that the metal is dissolved to the same extent as it was during EPA's criteria
development for metals. For more information on conversion factors see the June, 1996
EPA Translator Guidance Document.

DocuSign Envelope ID:30ADC767-BCD6-4120-B978-25BBA35A7927
6. The RPA spreadsheet uses a mass balance equation to determine the total allowable
concentration (permit limits) for each pollutant using the following equation:
Ca= (s7010+ Ow) (Cwgs)—(s7010) (Cb)
QW
Where: Ca=allowable effluent concentration (µg/L or mg/L)
Cwqs =NC Water Quality Standard or federal criteria(µg/L or mg/L)
Cb=background concentration: assume zero for all toxicants except NH3* (µg/L or
mg/L)
Qw=permitted effluent flow(cfs, match s7Q10)
s7Q10= summer low flow used to protect aquatic life from chronic toxicity and human
health through the consumption of water, fish, and shellfish from noncarcinogens (cfs)
* Discussions are on-going with EPA on how best to address background
concentrations
Flows other than s7Q 10 may be incorporated as applicable:
IQ 10 =used in the equation to protect aquatic life from acute toxicity
QA=used in the equation to protect human health through the consumption of
water, fish, and shellfish from carcinogens
30Q2 =used in the equation to protect aesthetic quality
7. The permit writer enters the most recent 2-3 years of effluent data for each pollutant of
concern. Data entered must have been taken within four and one-half years prior to the date
of the permit application (40 CFR 122.21). The RPA spreadsheet estimates the 95th
percentile upper concentration of each pollutant. The Predicted Max concentrations are
compared to the Total allowable concentrations to determine if a permit limit is necessary.
If the predicted max exceeds the acute or chronic Total allowable concentrations, the
discharge is considered to show reasonable potential to violate the water quality standard,
and a permit limit(Total allowable concentration) is included in the permit in accordance
with the U.S. EPA Technical Support Document for Water Quality-Based Toxics Control
published in 1991.
8. When appropriate,permit writers develop facility specific compliance schedules in
accordance with the EPA Headquarters Memo dated May 10, 2007 from James Hanlon to
Alexis Strauss on 40 CFR 122.47 Compliance Schedule Requirements.
9. The Total Chromium NC WQS was removed and replaced with trivalent chromium and
hexavalent chromium Water Quality Standards. As a cost savings measure, total chromium
data results may be used as a conservative surrogate in cases where there are no analytical
results based on chromium III or VI. In these cases, the projected maximum concentration
(95th%) for total chromium will be compared against water quality standards for
chromium III and chromium VI.
10. Effluent hardness sampling and instream hardness sampling, upstream of the discharge, are
inserted into all permits with facilities monitoring for hardness-dependent metals to ensure
the accuracy of the permit limits and to build a more robust hardness dataset.

Dear Mr. Sprinkle:
The Division of Water Resources(the Division)hereby issues the attached NPDES permit for the subject
facility.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.
We have made the following updates to your previous permit:
1. Outfall 002 has been removed from the permit.
2. Effluent hardness and instream hardness sampling,upstream of the discharge,has been added to this
permit at a monitoring frequency of quarterly. See Sections A. (1.)and A. (2.)Effluent Limitations
and Monitoring Requirements.
3. The following monthly average limits and daily maximum limits have been added for Total Copper:
Outfall Monthly Daily
Avera-e Maximum
001 40.7 µg/L 53.5 µg/L
003 25.5 µg/L 38.3 µg/L
4. A compliance schedule has been added for Total Copper limits. See Section A. (6.).
5. Electronic reporting of discharge monitoring reports (eDMR)has been added. See Section A. (7.).
6. Regulatory citations have been added.
7. The facility map has been updated.
For Outfall 001,please note that the daily maximum limit for Ammonia was corrected to be 35 mg/l.
The NC 2007-2014 Water Quality Standard(WQS)Triennial Review was approved by the NC
Environmental Management Committee(EMC)on November 13,2014.The US EPA subsequently approved
the WQS revisions on April 6,2016 with some exceptions.The NC Division of Water Resources NPDES
Permitting Unit is required to implement the new dissolved metal standards in all permits public noticed after
April 6,2016.
The new standards for most metals include acute standards.Furthermore,the freshwater standards for several
metals are expressed as the dissolved form of the metals, and seven metals have hardness-dependent
equations.As a result,the NPDES Permitting Unit will need site-specific effluent hardness data and instream
hardness data,upstream of the discharge, for each facility monitoring these metals in order to calculate permit

(Standard Conditions for NPDES Permits):
• Section B. (11.) Signatory Requirements
• Section D. (2.) Reporting
• Section D. (6.) Records Retention
• Section E.(5.) Monitoring Reports
1. Reporting Requirements (Supersedes Section D.(2.) and Section E. (5.) (a)l
The permittee shall report discharge monitoring data electronically using the NC DWR's Electronic
Discharge Monitoring Report(eDMR)internet application.
Monitoring results obtained during the previous month(s) shall be summarized for each month and submitted
electronically using eDMR. The eDMR system allows permitted facilities to enter monitoring data and
submit DMRs electronically using the internet. Until such time that the state's eDMR application is
compliant with EPA's Cross-Media Electronic Reporting Regulation(CROMERR),permittees will be
required to submit all discharge monitoring data to the state electronically using eDMR and will be required
to complete the eDMR submission by printing, signing,and submitting one signed original and a copy of the
computer printed eDMR to the following address:
NC DEQ/Division of Water Resources/Water Quality Permitting Section
ATTENTION: Central Files
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh,North Carolina 27699-1617
If a permittee is unable to use the eDMR system due to a demonstrated hardship or due to the facility being
physically located in an area where less than 10 percent of the households have broadband access,then a
temporary waiver from the NPDES electronic reporting requirements may be granted and discharge
monitoring data may be submitted on paper DMR forms(MR 1, 1.1,2, 3)or alternative forms approved,by
the Director. Duplicate signed copies shall be submitted to the mailing address above. See"How to Request
a Waiver from Electronic Reporting"section below.
Regardless of the submission method,the first DMR is due on the last day of the month following the
issuance of the permit or in the case of a new facility,on the last day of the month following the
commencement of discharge.
Starting on December 21,2020,the permittee must electronically report the following compliance
monitoring data and reports,when applicable:
• Sewer Overflow/Bypass Event Reports;
• Pretreatment Program Annual Reports; and
• Clean Water Act(CWA) Section 316(b)Annual Reports.

NPDES Permit NC0035173
The permittee may seek an electronic reporting waiver from the Division(see"How to Request a Waiver
from Electronic Reporting"section below).
2. Electronic Submissions
In accordance with 40 CFR 122.41(1)(9),the permittee must identify the initial recipient at the time of each
electronic submission. The permittee should use the EPA's website resources to identify the initial recipient
for the electronic submission.
Initial recipient of electronic NPDES information from NPDES-regulated facilities means the entity(EPA or
the state authorized by EPA to implement the NPDES program)that is the designated entity for receiving
electronic NPDES data [see 40 CFR 127.2(b)].
EPA plans to establish a website that will also link to the appropriate electronic reporting tool for each type
of electronic submission and for each state. Instructions on how to access and use the appropriate electronic
reporting tool will be available as well. Information on EPA's NPDES Electronic Reporting Rule is found at:
http://www2.p2a. ov�l2liance/final-national-pollutant-discharge-elimination-system-apdes-electronic-
reporting-rule.
Electronic submissions must start by the dates listed in the"Reporting Requirements"section above.
3. How to Request a Waiver from Electronic Reporting
The permittee may seek a temporary electronic reporting waiver from the Division. To obtain an electronic
reporting waiver, a permittee must first submit an electronic reporting waiver request to the Division.
Requests for temporary electronic reporting waivers must be submitted in writing to the Division for written
approval at least sixty(60)days prior to the date the facility would be required under this permit to begin
submitting monitoring data and reports. The duration of a temporary waiver shall not exceed 5 years and
shall thereupon expire. At such time,monitoring data and reports shall be submitted electronically to the
Division unless the permittee re-applies for and is granted a new temporary electronic reporting waiver by the
Division. Approved electronic reporting waivers are not transferrable. Only permittees with an approved
reporting waiver request may submit monitoring data and reports on paper to the Division for the period that
the approved reporting waiver request is effective.
Information on eDMR and the application for a temporary electronic reporting waiver are found on the
following web page:
htti)://deq.nc.gov/about/divisions/water-resources/edmr
4. Signatory Requirements (Supplements Section B.(11.)M and Supersedes Section B.(11.)Ml
