INTRODUCTION
The New Cherokee Corporation (NCC) is proposing to construct a new
textile finishing plant that will process woven cotton blend fabric. The
plant is to be located ten miles south of Spindale, N. C. in Rutherford County,
adjacent to the Broad River (refer to Figure 1 for location).
The alternatives for wastewater treatment were limited. The nearest
municipal system is the Town of Spindale 10 miles away. This is too far to pump
without causing problems with septicity and odor. Land application for a "no
discharge" alternative would require more land, 350 to 400 acres, than is available.
Manufacturing recycle is not technically feasible at this time because of the build-up
of dissolved solids and other waste products.
The alternative of on -site treatment and discharge to the Broad River is
the only reasonable alternative to handle the wastewater. The Broad River at the
proposed site is a Class C water with a 7-day, 10-year low flow in excess of 100
MGD, providing a 100/1 dilution ratio. The site is isolated with no off -site
habitable dwellings within 2000 feet. The river at the proposed point of discharge
is deep (greater than 5 feet) and will provide good mixing without the need for a
diffuser. - Figure 2 is a site plan showing the location of the property, manufactur-
ing plant, WItVTP, and proposed discharge location.

02. MANUFACTURING PROCESS
The manufacturing operation is to be typical woven fabric finishing
process (SIC 2261). Initially the plant will only desize, scour, bleach, mercerize,
and finish cloth produced at the New Cherokee Corporation's, Severeville,
�► Tennessee Plant. Within five years it is planned to install a dying operation at
the new Spindale Plant in addition to the finishing operation. Figure 2 is a schematic
MR
of the manufacturing process to be employed.
The cloth to be finished at the Spindale Plant will be a cotton polyester blend
used in making shirts. The raw cloth will contain starch and PVA size along with
weaving oils, waxes, and softeners.
The primary materials expected to be used in the manufacturing process are
MR
listed as follows:

RAW WASTEWATER CHARACTERIZATION
The wastewater from the plant is projected to be a typical finishing waste
with the organic constituents being primarily dyes, starch, PVA, and acetic acid.
The combined waste will be high in pH and will require neutralization prior to
treatment. Currently there are no plans to segregate and treat separate process
waste streams and the wastewater characterization will be the results of a combined
waste stream projected as follows (Reference Appendix A).

04. WASTEWATER TREATMENT REQUIREMENTS
The treated wastewater is to be discharged into the Broad River at a point
�., 2,500 feet downstream of the SR 1111 bridge. The river at this point is Class C
water with a drainage area of over 200 square miles and an estimated 7-day, 10-year
low flow of more than 100 MGD. The projected wastewater discharge of 1.0 MGD
MR is approximately 1% of the total minimum river flow.
�+ The existing water quality of the Broad River based on NCDEM sampling is
good with low heavy metal background concentrations. Appendix C contains the
available DEM sampling results and in -stream water quality criteria.
Because of the classification of the river (Class C), the high dilution ratio
(100/1) of river flow to wastewater discharge and low background concentration of
metals, the discharge of treated wastewater is to be based on New Source
Performance Standards (NSPS - 40 CFR 410.45) for woven fabric and NCDEM
action levels and water quality criteria for heavy metals. The projected
treatment requirements are summarized as follows:

05. PROPOSED WASTEWATER TREATMENT
The wastewater treatment system is to be designed for neutralization,
�•, BOD and COD removal, and control of bulking in the clarifiers. Sludge handling
is to consist of digestion, thickening, and land application or landfill disposal.
The wastewater treatment system will be process wastewater only and should not
contain fecal coliform. The domestic waste will be treated separately in a septic tank
system.
Neutralization is to be accomplished by using carbon dioxide (CO2) rather
than sulphuric acid. The CO2 is non -hazardous and self regulating which will
prevent over adjusting the pH below 6.5.
lam BOD and COD removals are to be accomplished using a single stage extended
aeration activated sludge process with hydraulic retention times (HRT) of three days
014
or more. Sludge bulking is to be controlled by using a three anoxic step selector
Mu' process with internal recycle at the beginning of the extended aeration system.
Following is a summary of the treatment plant design criteria. This criteria is based
on Phase II wastewater characterization (Table 1). Figure 3 is a schematic of the
proposed treatment process.

.0502 (1) Need for the Proposed Activi
The New Cherokee Corporation is proposing to construct a new textile 7
finishing and dying plant in southern Rutherford County adjacent to the
Broad River. The location of the proposed plant is shown on Figures 1
and 2. The location of the manufacturing plant is beyond any existing 7
sewered area and wastewater treatment is to be provided by a new WVVTP
located on site. The average daily wastewater flow is projected to be 910,000 7

.0502. (2) Reasonable Alternatives to the Recommended Course of Action
FM The alternatives considered to the proposed wastewater treatment plant
included:
MM
1. Pump the wastewater to the Town of Spindale for treatment.
2. Construct a "No Discharge" system to consist of land application.
3. Plant recycle.
None of the above alternatives was a reasonable alternative. The Spindale
system is 10 miles away and the sewage would be septic by the time it reached
the municipal system. There would be odor problems as well as treatment
problems for this alternative. Land application as a means of creating a
"No Discharge" permit would require 350 to 400 acres of land suitable for
application plus buffer areas. This amount of land is not available to the
raq New Cherokee Corporation. Plant recycle of the finishing plant effluent
M" is not technically possible at this time.
rn. Alternatives are available, however, for manufacturing waste reduction.
These alternatives are proposed to be implemented and include:
914
1. Size (PVA) recovery during the desize operation.
2. Caustic (NaOH) recovery and reuse during the mercerizing operation.
3. Heat recovery and reuse.

.0502 (3) Methods Proposed to Mitigate or Avoid Significant Environmental Impacts f
The methods proposed to mitigate or avoid significant environmental impacts
include:
1. Installation of standby power at the WWTP to prevent discharge of
untreated wastewater during power outages. r,
2. Containment of all chemical storage areas to prevent accidental
spills from reaching the Broad River.
3. Using carbon dioxide, a non -hazardous chemical, for neutralization
rather than sulphuric acid, a hazardous chemical. 7
4. Erosion control measures will be taken during construction to
minimize all silt discharge to the Broad River.
5. Odors from the WWTP will be minimized by keeping all processes
aerobic and digesting the solids produced from the treatment
r
process. The use of carbon dioxide for neutralization rather than
sulphuric acid will eliminate the production of sulfates and
sulfides that cause odors.
6. The dyes to be used in the manufacturing process will have a low
i
metal content or be void of metals.
7. The use of phenolic compounds will be minimized or eliminated.
r

am 8. All W'WT? process structures will be above ground to avoid, the
el" possible impact of leaking structures and groundwater contamination.
All underground piping systems are to be pressure tested to be leak
M,
free.
9. The WWTP is located in a remote area of the property and is a
minimum of 2000 feet from any off -site habital structure.

.0502. (4) Environmental Effects of the Proposed Activitv and Alternative
The primary environmental effect of the wastewater treatment plant will
be a discharge to the Broad River. The effect of this discharge will be
minimal because of the dilution ratio (100/1) and the stream classifica-
tion (Class C). Color will be present in the effluent but should not _
change the river color more than 5 color units because of dilution.
Temperature changes in the river after discharge are expected to be no more
than .3° F during summer and .5° F during winter.
Sludge produced at the plant is proposed for land application or disposal
in a sanitary landfill. All permit activity for sludge disposal will be
completed when the construction permit is applied for.
