Lee County
To whom it may concern,
Please find enclosed three (3) original copies of the completed NPDES permit renewal
application (NPDES Permit No.: NC0072575) and supporting documents, including a sludge
management plan, for the Pilgrim's Pride Corporation Processing Plant located in Sanford, Lee
County, North Carolina. This Facility discharges treated effluent to the Deep River. There have
been no significant changes in Facility Operations since issuance of the current NPDES Permit
on August 1, 2012. However, the Facility is in the process of upgrading the wastewater treatment
system, and associated information is provided in the attached application. Please see the Process
Flow Diagram included with the NPDES permit application package for a description of current
operations water use at this Facility and wastewater treatment system.
If you have any questions, please contact Dave Townsend of Pilgrim's Pride Corporation at
[phone].

EPA I.D. NUMBER (copvfrom Item I of Form 1) OUTFALL NUMBER
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3 OF FORM 2-C NCO072575 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 GCYAAS
fractions), mark W 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
additional details and requirements.

Poultry Processing Plant
Sanford, Lee County, North Carolina
NPDES Permit No.: NC0072575
Sludge Management Plan
Pilgrim's Pride Corporation entered into a Special Order By Consent EMC SOC No. S 15-002 (Order)
on November 13, 2015. Per Item 2.b.(3.) of the Order, Pilgrim's is required to develop a Solids
Management Plan within 180 days of November 13, 2015.
Pilgrim's operates a poultry processing plant in Sanford, North Carolina. This Facility is located at 484
am Zimmerman Road in Sanford, Lee County, North Carolina 27330. This Facility receives live chickens
and chicken parts and processes them into various chicken meat products. Wastewater produced in
poultry processing operations, other ancillary operations (i.e., vehicle and equipment maintenance and
am washing, plant sanitation, boiler and condenser blowdown, etc.) and storm water collected from "high
impact" areas is treated in an advanced onsite wastewater treatment system, which includes the
following primary treatment processes:
MM
• Covered anaerobic treatment lagoon with biogas collection and flaring;
• Two -stage anoxic -aerobic treatment system with integral nitrification/denitrification;
0" • Clarification;
• Tertiary filtration; and
fan • Disinfection and dechlorination.
According to Facility records, the average daily volume of wastewater treated in the advanced
wastewater treatment system from 2014 through 2015 was approximately 0.94 million gallons per day
(MGD). A majority of the effluent from the advanced wastewater treatment system is discharged to the
Deep River under NPDES Permit No. NC0072575. Minor portions of the treated effluent are returned
to the Plant for reuse purposes or managed via a spray irrigation/land application system (LAS)
ran permitted under a separate Non -Discharge Land Application System Permit, Permit No. WQ0028653.
Sanitary wastewater from the Facility is also treated and disposed via the permitted LAS.
'_' Waste biosolids from the activated sludge treatment system will be dewatered and managed/disposed
offsite. Specifically, waste biosolids from the activated sludge treatment system will be transferred to a
100,000 gallon waste biosolids storage tank by two submersible waste activated sludge pumps. The
waste biosolids storage tank will be provided for storage and thickening of the biosolids before being
transferred to the belt filter press for mechanical dewatering. Specifically, the 1.0 meter BDP belt filter
press will be rated at 150 gpm of biosolids flow capacity and 1,500 pounds per hour biosolids loading
capacity (dry basis) and is anticipated to be operated four hours per day to dewater a maximum biosolids
volume of 2,100 pounds of dry biosolids per day. The dewatered biosolids will then be disposed off -site
via landfilling.
The Solids Management Plan i ntly under development.

NPDES Permit Renewal Application — NCO072575
Pilgrim's Pride Sanford, NC Poultry Processing Plant
MR Application Form 2CS
Section V.D. Additional Information
The following chemicals included in Table 2C-4 (Hazardous Substances) of the EPA
NPDES Permit Application Form 2c — Instructions are used, could be used and/or
generated as a by-product in poultry processing, ancillary operation (e.g., vehicle and
equipment maintenance activities, plant sanitation, plant and equipment food safety
processing aid, etc.) and wastewater treatment operations:
Acetic acid — Peracetic acid (PAA) is used as a food safety product in poultry processing
operations. The peracetic acid is in solution with acetic acid and hydrogen peroxide to
maintain the stability of the PAA.
Ammonia — Used in closed -loop refrigeration systems and produced as by-product in
poultry processing and wastewater treatment operations.
Ammonium Hydroxide - Produced as by-product in poultry processing and wastewater
treatment operations.
Chlorine — Used for disinfection of treated effluent, reuse water and potable water supply
for plant and potentially other water treatment purposes.
Fun
Ferric Chloride - Can be used in process wastewater pretreatment and/or treatment
operations.
OW
Ferric Sulfate - Can be used in process wastewater pretreatment and/or treatment
operations.
ran
Nitric Acid — Component in certain plant and equipment sanitation and cleaning products
used at the Facility.
Phosphoric Acid — Component in certain plant and equipment sanitation and cleaning
products used at the Facility.
Potassium hydroxide - Component in certain plant and equipment sanitation and
cleaning products used at the Facility.

MR

OR
Sodium Bisulfite and similar sulfur compounds (e.g., sodium metabisulfite, sulfur
dioxide, etc.) can be used ahead of wastewater treatment systems to remove PAA,
hydrogen peroxide and/or residual chlorine and/or to remove residual chlorine from the
final effluent prior to discharge to surface water.
ran
Sodium Hypochlorite — Component in certain plant and equipment sanitation and
cleaning products used at the Facility and can also be used to disinfect water and
,a, wastewater streams.
Sodium Hydroxide - Component in certain plant and equipment sanitation and cleaning
products used at the Facility and for pH control in wastewater treatment operations.
Sulfuric Acid — Component of batteries for forklifts, etc. and can also be a component in
MR certain wastewater treatment chemicals.
The wastewater treatment systems at the Facility are expected to effectively
FMq treat/remove the chemicals, "Hazardous Substances" listed above. Also, the current
NPDES permit for the Facility includes appropriate monitoring requirements (i.e.,
analysis) and/or limitations to ensure these "Hazardous Substances" are not
discharged to the receiving stream in harmful levels.
