Subject: Issuance of NPDES Permit Renewal
Permit No. NCO025135
Huffman Finishing Company
Caldwell County
Facility Class 11
Dear Mr. Huffman:
Division personnel have reviewed and approved your application for renewal of the subject permit.
Accordingly, we are forwarding the attached NPDES discharge permit. This permit is issued pursuant to
the requirements of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and Memorandum of Agreement between
North Carolina and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency dated October 15, 2007 (or as
subsequently amended).
Through further review, several changes were made to the draft permit sent to you on February 10,
2016:
• Electronic Discharge Monitoring Report (eDMR) requirements have been updated. Four main
revisions include: 1) Electronic reporting of DMR data is required effective December 21, 2016;.2)
Electronic reporting requirements of compliance monitoring data and reports have been added; 3) A
section has,been added that requires permittees to identify the initial recipient of their electronic
submissions; 4) A section has been added on how to request an electronic reporting waiver. A
footnote was added under Section.A. (L) to state "No later than December 21, 2016, begin submitting
discharge monitoring reports electronically using NC DWR's eDMR application system" and Special
Condition A. (3.) was updated to reflect the eDMR reporting deadline of December 21, 2016.
As identified previously, the renewal permit contains the following significant changes from
your current permit:
• Starting December 21, 2016, 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 fmal
NPDES Electronic Reporting Rule was adopted .and became effective on December 21, 2015.

The requirement to begin reporting discharge monitoring data electronically using the NC DWR's
Electronic Discharge Monitoring Report (eDMR) internet application has been added to your final
NPDES permit. [See Special Condition A. (3.)] For information on eDMR, registering for eDMR
and obtaining an eDMR user account, please visit the following web page:
http://deq.ne.gov/about/divisions/water-resources/edmr.
For more information on EPA's final NPDES Electronic Reporting Rule, please visit the following web
site:
http://www2.epa.gov/compliance/final-national-pollutant-discharge-elimination-s stem-npdes-
electronic-reporting rule.
© Effluent limitations for BODs, TSS, COD, total chromium, sulfide, and total phenol have been updated
based on production data for the last five years.
• Sampling type for effluent TSS has been changed to composite. See Section A. (i.).
e Monitoring requirements for BODs, TSS, COD, fecal colifonn, pH and temperature have been reduced
to 2/week. Monitoring requirements for total nitrogen and total phosphorus have been reduced to
quarterly. See Section A. (1.).
o Effluent samples for silver showed 44 samples < 5 ug/L and 1 sample < 50 ug/L. The Huffman
Finishing WWTP's chronic allowable allocation for silver is 6.25 ug/L. In accordance with NC
Administrative Code Section 15A NCAC 02B .0500, all test procedures must produce detection and
reporting levels that are below the permit discharge requirements and all data generated must be
reported to the approved detection level or lower reporting level of the procedure. DWR's Water
Sciences Section has determined that the Practical Quantitation Limit (PQL) for silver is 1 ug/L. Please
see that the certified laboratory performing the facility's metals analysis can measure to the approved
detection level or lower reporting level. A list of PQL's determined by the Division can be found at
the following website: http://deg.ne.gov/about/divisions/water-resources/water-resources-data/water-
sciences-home-page/microbiolo y -inorganics-branch/methods-pgls-qa. The monitoring requirement
for silver is maintained in the permit renewal with a reduced monitoring frequency of quarterly.
Effluent samples for total phenolic compounds, nickel, and antimony showed no potential to violate
water quality standards and the maximum predicted concentrations were all less than 50% of the
allowable allocations. Limitations and monitoring requirements for nickel and antimony have been
removed from the permit. Limitations for total phenols are based on EPA technology based effluent
limits (TBEL) for Textile Mills, 40 CFR 410.52 and must be maintained in the permit.
Some of the wording has changed in Special Condition A. (2), Chronic Toxicity Permit Limit, please
review each paragraph carefully.
DWR would also encourage the facility to fix the outfall pipeline cracks and consider extending the
discharge pipeline in order to have better effluent mix. However, prior to performing any work on the
outfall pipe, the pernittee shall contact the Asheville Regional Office for assistance and to obtain any
necessary permits.
If any parts, measurement frequencies or sampling requirements contained in this permit are unacceptable
to you, you have the right to an adjudicatory hearing upon written request within thirty (30) days
following receipt of this letter. This request must be in the form of a written petition, conforming to
Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes, and filed with the Office of Administrative
Hearings (6714 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-6714). Unless such demand is made,
this decision shall be final and binding.
Please note that this permit is not transferable except after notice to the Division. The Division may
require modification or revocation and reissuance of the pen -nit. This pen -nit does not affect the legal

A (2). CHRONIC TOXICITY PERMIT LIMIT (QUARTERLY)
[15A NCAC 02B .0200 et seq.]
The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit observable inhibition of reproduction or significant mortality to
Ceriodaphnia duhia at an effluent concentration of 0.96 %.
The permit holder shall perform at a minimum,quarter lX monitoring using test procedures outlined in the "North
Carolina Ceriodaphnia Chronic Effluent Bioassay Procedure," Revised December 2010, or subsequent versions or
"North Carolina Phase II Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure" (Revised- December 2010) or subsequent
versions. The tests will be performed during the months of March, June, September and December. 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 H 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 THP313 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
Water Sciences Section/Aquatic Toxicology Branch
1623 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, NC 27699-1623
Completed Aquatic Toxicity Test Forms shall be filed with the Water 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, pen -nit 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 Water 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 first day of the month in which toxicity testing is required by this permit and
continues until the final day of the third month.
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.
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.

Background
Huffinan Finishing, Inc. is a textile plant that manufactures hosiery and has requested renewal of their
existing NPDES permit. The application for permit renewal (EPA Form 1, Form 2C) was received on
July 14, 2014. The permit expired on January 31, 2015 and has been administratively continued. The
applicable effluent guidelines are 40 CFR 410.52 (Textile Mills, Subpart E, Knit Fabric). The facility
has a designed flow of 0.25 MGD and its wastewater is 95% textile dyeing and bleaching process
wastewater and 5% domestic wastewater.
Huffman Finishing Company WWTP utilizes activated sludge to treat wastewater. Treatment consists of
the following components: vibrating screen, flow equalization basin with four floating aerators, lift
pumps, oxidation ditch, circular clarifier, sludge recirculation pumps, chlorine contact tank, ultrasonic
flow measurement, chemical dechlorination, cascade post aeration, aerobic sludge digester, sludge
holding lagoon, sludge drying beds, auxiliary power system.
The plant is located in Subbasin 03-08-32 and discharges to the Catawba River (Lake Hickory)
approximately 2.5 miles below Rhodhiss Dam. This segment of the Catawba River is a class WS-IV, B;
CA waterbody. The receiving stream is not listed on the 2014 303(d) list as impaired. The outfall is
approximately one mile upstream from the water supply intake for the City of Hickory.

Evaluation of Compliance Data
Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMRs) have been reviewed for the period of January 2010 through
September 2015. During that time only one pen -nit limit violation was reported: one chromium daily
maximum limit violation (08/13/2012), which proceeded to a NOV.
The most recent inspection was conducted on January 7, 2016. Linda Wiggs of ARO with staff from the
NPDES Complex Permitting Unit inspected the treatment plant as well as the discharge outfall.
Inspectors were informed that the EQ Basin float would not automatically trigger level control; instead,
the level control is designed with manual operation. A properly certified back-up ORC was also reported
to the ARO as required in the 2014 inspection report. At the discharge point, blue/purple color could be
seen around the Outfall but appeared to mix with the river 2 feet away from the discharge point. Two
inspections performed in 2014 and 2012 showed the facility was in compliance with the permit. The
2010 inspection found that wastewater was leaking from the clarifier prior to entering the chlorine
contact tank. This issue was not reported in 2012 inspection.
Toxicity Testing. Since January 2010 the facility has passed 20 of 20 chronic toxicity tests
(Ceriodaphnia @ 0.96%).
Evaluation of Instream Data
Instream monitoring is not required for this discharge.
Development of Effluent Guidelines
Applicable effluent guidelines are listed in 40 CFR 410.52 Textile Mills Subpart E, Knit Fabric.
Huffman Finishing Company was able to provide five years of yearly average product production (in
lbs/day). The averages were: 27,027 lbs/day in 2011, 25,833 lbs/day in 2012, 25,112 lbs/day in 2013,
25,904 lbs/day in 2014, and 26,009 lbs/day in 2015. Since the highest yearly average (27,027 lbs/day)
was determined not to be an outlier (greater than 20% of long term average), that value was used to

NPDP-S Permit Fact Sheet — 03/29/ 16

NCO025135
calculate the Technology Based Effluent Limitations (TBELs). Table 2 summarizes the proposed limit
development based on the federal effluent guidelines. For example, the BOD5 daily maximum limits in
lbs per day = 5.0 (pounds per 1000 pounds of product) * 27,027 (lbs/day) / 1000 = 135.1 lbs/day.

Huffman Finishing Company also has 5% sanitary wastewater which could allow for extra allocations
for BOD and TSS; however, these additions were minor and were not added in this permit renewal.
Reasonable Potential (RP) Analysis
The Division conducted EPA recommended analyses to determine the reasonable potential for toxicants
to be discharged by this facility, based on DMR data from January 2012 through September 2015 and
EPA 2C Form submitted with the permit renewal application.
No limit or Monitoring: The following parameters will not receive a limit or monitoring, since
they did not demonstrate reasonable potential to exceed applicable water quality
standards/criteria and the maximum predicted concentration was < 50% of the allowable
concentration: copper, cyanide, nickel, zinc, and antimony. Note the data sets analyzed for
copper, cyanide, and zinc were limited (< 8 samples).
Monitoring Only: Effluent samples for silver showed 44 samples < 5 ug/L and 1 sample < 50
ug/L. The Huffman Finishing WWTP's chronic allowable allocation for silver is 6.25 ug/L. In
accordance with NC Administrative Code Section 15A NCAC 02B .0500, all test procedures
must produce detection and reporting levels that are below the permit discharge requirements
and all data generated must be reported to the approved detection level or lower reporting level
of the procedure. DWR's Water Sciences Section has determined that the Practical Quantitation
Limit (PQL) for silver is 1 ug/L. The Permittee will be notified in the permit cover letter to
confirm that the certified laboratory performing the facility's metals analysis can measure to the
approved detection level or lower reporting level and that a list of PQL's determined by the
Division can be found at the following website: http://portal.ncdenr.ora/web/wq/lab/ops/inorg.
The monitoring requirement for silver is maintained in the permit renewal with a reduced
monitoring frequency of quarterly.

Huffman Finishing
NCO025135
• Effluent Limit with Monitoring: Effluent samples for total phenolic compounds showed no
potential to violate water quality standards and the maximum predicted concentrations were all
less than 50% of the allowable allocations. Limitations for total phenols are based on EPA
technology based effluent limits (TBEL) for Textile Mills, 40 CFR 410.52 as discussed above
and must be maintained in the permit.
In addition, effluent samples for chlorinated phenols were also analyzed since the receiving stream is
classified as WS-IV and the state has a Water Supply total chlorinated phenolic compounds water
quality standard of 1 ug/L. Chlorinated phenolic compounds reported included: 2-chlorophenol, 2,4—
dichlorophenol, 2,4,6-trichlorophenol, 4-chloro-3-methylphenol, and pentachlorophenol which were all
below detection limits. Therefore, it was not necessary to limit chlorinated phenolic compounds in the
permit.
Comparison of TBEL and WQBEL
A comparison table of proposed technology based effluent limits (TBELs) and water quality based
effluent limits (WQBELs) is showed in Table 3. For parameters subject to both TBELs and WQBELs,
the more stringent limit shall be applied. In order to compare both effluent limits, the concentration
based limits (water quality limits) have been converted to the mass based limits using a permitted flow
of 0.25 MGD.
As shown in the Table 3, bolded parameter limits are more stringent limits and they will be applied in
the permit renewal.

Mercury TMDL Evaluation
As required, the Permittee performed a low level effluent mercury test on 4/3/2014 for submittal with
the permit renewal application. In accordance with the 2012 Mercury TMDL NPDES Guidance the
permittee needs to show annual mean effluent concentrations below both the Water Quality Based
Effluent Limitation (WQBEL) of 1250 ng/L and the Technology Based Effluent Limitation (TBEL) of
47 ng/L. The effluent sample (19 ng/L) was below both the WQBEL and the TBEL, therefore, no

mercury limitation is required. Guidance for industrial wastewater treatment facilities does not require a
Mercury Minimization Plan if no limitation is needed. The permittee will be required to continue
monitoring mercury as part of its permit renewal, using EPA method 1631 E.

Subject: Fact Sheet/RPA Results
I'm offering the following verbage as one way to write up RPA results in a Fact Sheet in a clear/concise manner. Based
on the EPA audit recommendations, we will need to upgrade our Fact Sheet template down the road, and have a.,
consistent approach by all permit writers.
Reasonable Potential Analysis/Toxicants
A reasonable potential analysis was conducted on effluent toxicant data collected between Month 20xx and Month
20xx. Based on this analysis, the following permitting actions are proposed for this permit:
• Effluent Limit with Monitoring. The following parameters will receive a water quality -based effluent limit
(WQBEL) since they demonstrated a reasonable potential to exceed applicable water quality
standards/criteria: Toxicant A, Toxicant B, etc
• Monitoring Only. The following parameters will receive a monitor -only requirement since they did not
demonstrate reasonable potential to exceed applicable water quality standards/criteria, but the maximum
predicted concentration was >50% of the allowable concentration: Toxicant A, Toxicant B, etc.
• No Limit or Monitoring: The following parameters will not receive a limit or monitoring, since they did not
demonstrate reasonable potential to exceed applicable water quality standards/criteria and the maximum
predicted concentration was <50% of the allowable concentration: Toxicant A, Toxicant B, etc. -
A spreadsheet of the RPA results is attached to this Fact Sheet.

I have not received a request for staff report for the Huffman renewal yet. But I am going out there tomorrow (Tuesday
10/21) for an inspection. I guess the day before at 4:00 is too late to ask you if there is anything you want me to look

If there is, reply to this email first thing and I will check my emails before heading out there.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3 OF FORM 2-C I 1 001
PART C - If you are a primary industry and this outfall contains process wastewater, refer to Table 2o-2 in the instructions to determine which of the GC/MS fractions you must test for. Mark "X" in column 2-a for all such GC/MS
fractions that apply to your industry and for ALL toxic metals, cyanides, and total phenols. If you are not required to mark column 2-a (secondary industries, nonprocess wastewater outfalls, and nonrequired GC/MS
fractions), mark "X" in column 2-b for each pollutant you know or have reason to believe is present. Mark "X" in column 2-c for each pollutant you believe is absent. If you mark column 2a for any pollutant, you must
provide the results of at least one analysis for that pollutant. If you mark column 2b for any pollutant, you must provide the results of at least one analysis for that pollutant if you know or have reason to believe it will be
discharged in concentrations of 10'ppb or greater. If you mark column 2b for acrolein, acrylonitrile, 2,4 dinitrophenol, or 2-methyl-4, 6 dinitrophenol, you must provide the results of at least one analysis for each of these
pollutants which you know or have reason to believe that you discharge in concentrations of 100 ppb or greater. Otherwise, for pollutants for which you mark column 2b, you must either submit at least one analysis or
briefly describe the reasons the pollutant is expected to be discharged. Note that there are 7 pages to this part; please review each carefully. Complete one table (all 7 pages) for each outfall. See instructions for

N/A indicates that spike recovery limits do not apply when sample concentration exceeds spike cone, by a factor of 4 or more.
^ The Relative Percent Difference (RPD) obtained from the sample duplicate (DUP) is evaluated against the acceptance criteria when the sample is greater tlian
five times (5X) the contract required detection limit (RL). In cases where either the sample, or duplicate value is less than 5X the RL, a control limit of+/- the
RL is used to evaluate the DUP result.
* Indicates that a Quality Control parameter was not within specifications.
For PS, PSD, and SDILT results, the values listed are the measured amounts, not final concentrations.
Where the analytical method has been performed under NELAP certification, the analysis has met all of the
requirements of the NELAC standard unless qualified on the QC Summary.

Sludge Management Plan
Wastewater Treatment System Improvements
Huffman Finishing Company
Granite Falls, North Carolina
NPDES Permit No. NCO025135
The Huffman Finishing Company operates the 0.25 mgd extended aeration (Oxidation
Ditch) type activated sludge plant which discharges its effluent into Catawba River (Lake
Hickory) in accordance with the requirements set forth in the NPDES Permit
NC0025135. The plant includes screening, flow equalization, extended aeration type
activated sludge system, chlorine disinfection, pre and post dechlorination, post aeration,
influent and effluent flow metering and sampling facilities, aerobic sludge
stabilization/storage facilities, and disposal of stabilized sludge by land application in
accordance with the requirements set forth in the land application of residuals (Non-503)
Permit No. WQ002431. The settled sludge from the clarifier is periodically wasted to two
(2) aerobic stabilization/storage basins for stabilization, settling and supernatant
withdrawal operations. The supernatant withdrawn is recycled back at the headwork for
reprocessing. The process of sludge wasting, stabilization, settling, and supernatant
withdrawal is repeated and the stabilized sludge is disposed of once a year by land
application at agronomic rates.
The estimated waste activated sludge quantity of 325 lbs/day (4,775 gallons/day at
specific gravity of 1.02 and 0.8 percent solids), at design conditions, will be aerobically
stabilized to comply with the Class B pathogen reduction requirement, included in item
no I.7 of the land application of residual solids Permit No. WQ002431. The Permit does
not require Vector Attraction Reduction requirements. However, the existing aerobic
sludge stabilization/storage facilities are adequately designed to comply with the Vector
Attraction Reduction requirements. The 227 lbs/day (890 gallons/day at specific gravity
of 1.02 and 3.0 percent solids) aerobically stabilized sludge will be disposed of by land
application at agronomic rates on the permitted sites, using a private contractor engaged
in sludge or residual disposal service. For disposal of the stabilized sludge by land
application, the Huffinan Finishing Company will comply with the pathogen reduction
requirement and vector attraction reduction requirement as follows:
Class B Pathogen Reduction: Compliance with the Class B pathogen reduction will be
achieved by using one of the following alternatives:
Alternative 1: Monitoring of Fecal Coliform (EPA 503.32 (b) (2)).
Alternative 2: Use of PSRP Aerobic Digestion and Lime Stabilization (EPA
503.32 (b) (3))
Vector Attraction Reduction: Compliance with the vector attraction reduction will be
achieved by using one of the following options:
Option 1: Reduction of volatile solids content (EPA 503.33 (b) (1))
