Subject: Issuance of NPDES Permit

Class III
Dear Mr. White:
Dee Freeman
Secretary
Division personnel have reviewed and approved your application for renewal of the subject permit.
Accordingly, we are forwarding the attached NPDES permit. 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).
The requested correction to the owner's name was made in the permit. Technical corrections were made
to the final permit to comply with the Upper/Middle Cape Fear Nutrient Strategy and to remove the draft permit
A. (4) Total Nitrogen Compliance Plan. The compliance plan was not appropriate as it conflicts with on going
efforts to address Total Nitrogen (TN) compliance.
The Division strongly advises that the continuing TN non-compliance must be resolved and will impact
future expansion request. It is recommended the Permittee be proactive and contact the Raleigh Regional Office
for additional guidance. The Permittee should be aware that as future Cape Fear River Basin nutrient strategy is
adopted for this segment of the basin TN limits will most likely become more stringent.
Summary of Changes in Final Permit from Existin1z Permit
1) Supplement to Permit Cover Sheet component list, A. (2) Chronic Toxicity Permit Limit, and Total
. Residual Chlorine footnote were updated.
Technical corrections for Upper/Middle Cape Fear Nutrient Strategy
2) Total Kjeldahl Nitrogen and Nitrate/Nitrite Nitrogen monthly monitoring were added. All treatment
facilities of your capacity and in this segment of the Cape Fear River Basin are required to monitor Total
Nitrogen, Total Kjeldahl, and Nitrate/Nitrite Nitrogen on monthly basis.

Nutrient Reopener special condition. All treatment £abilities `of your capacity and in this segment of the
Cape Fear River Basin are required to have a new nutrient reopener special condition that replaces the
existing reopener condition.
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 permit. This permit does not affect the legal
requirements to obtain other permits which may be required by the Division of Water Quality or permits
required by the Division of Land Resources, the Coastal Area Management Act or any other federal or local
governmental permits that may be required.

(Continued A. (1) EFFLUENT LIMITATIONS AND MONITORING REQUIREMENTS)
Footnotes:
1. Sample Locations: E — Effluent; I — Influent; U — Upstream at NCSR 1400; D - Downstream 50 feet
above the City of Sanford outfall.
2. The Division shall consider all effluent TRC values reported below 50 µg/L to be in compliance
with the permit. However, the Permittee shall continue to record and submit all values reported
by a North Carolina certified laboratory (including field certified), even if these values fall below
50 µg/L.
3. TN = TKN + (NO3-N + NO2-N), where TN is Total Nitrogen, TKN is Total Kjeldahl Nitrogen,
and (NO3-N and NO2-N) are Nitrate and Nitrite Nitrogen, respectively.
4. Chronic Toxicity (Ceriodaphnia) at 9 %; quarterly during January, April, July, October; See
Special Condition A. (2.)
5. Monitoring upstream (U) and downstream (D) are provisionally waived, based. on the
Permittee's membership in the Upper Cape Fear River Association. If at any time during the
term. of this permit, membership in the association is terminated, the permittee shall notify the
Division immediately, and immediately continue instream monitoring as stipulated in this
permit.
6. Variable: sample upstream and downstream 3/week during summer months of June, July
August, and September, weekly during the rest of the year.
Effluent shall contain no floating solids or foam visible in other than trace amounts.
A. (2) CHRONIC TOXICITY PERMIT LIMIT (Quarterly)
The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit observable inhibition of reproduction or significant
mortality to Ceriodaphnia dubia at an effluent concentration of 9%.
The permit holder shall perform at a minimum, quarterly monitoring using test procedures outlined in
the "North Carolina Ceriodaphnia Chronic Effluent Bioassay Procedure," Revised February 1998, or
subsequent versions or "North Carolina Phase II Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure"
(Revised -February 1998) or subsequent versions. The tests will be performed during the months of
January, April, July, and October. Effluent sampling for this testing 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 II Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test
Procedure" (Revised -February 1998) or subsequent versions.
The chronic value for multiple concentration tests will be determined using the geometric mean of the
highest concentration having no detectable impairment of reproduction or survival and the lowest
concentration that does have a detectable impairment of reproduction or survival. The definition of
"detectable impairment," collection methods, exposure regimes, and further statistical methods are
specified in the "North Carolina Phase II Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure" (Revised -
February 1998) or subsequent versions.

Permit NC0072575
(Continued A. (2) CHRONIC TOXICITY PERMIT LIMfY (Quarterly))
All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit condition will be entered on the Effluent
Discharge Monitoring Form (1\4R-1) for the months in which tests were performed, using the
parameter code TGP3B for the pass/fail results and THP3B for the Chronic Value. Additionally,
DWQ Form AT-3 (original) is to be sent to the following address:
Attention: NC DENR / DWQ / Environmental Sciences Section
1621 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1621
Completed Aquatic Toxicity Test Forms shall be filed with the Environmental 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, permit 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 Environmental 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. Should any test data from this monitoring
requirement or tests performed by the North Carolina Division of Water .Quality indicate potential
impacts to the receiving stream, this permit may be re -opened and modified to include alternate
monitoring requirements or limits.
If the Permittee monitors any pollutant more frequently than required by this permit, the results of such
monitoring shall be included in the calculation and reporting of the data submitted on the DMR and AT
Forms.
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.
A. (3) NUTRIENT RE -OPENER
Pursuant to N.C. General Statutes Section 143-215.1 and the implementing rules found in the North
Carolina Administrative Code at 15A NCAC 2H.0112 (b) (1) and 2H.0114 (a) and Part II sections B-12

Facility Non -Compliance
Dear Mr. Morgan:
Dee Freeman
We would like to extend our appreciation to you for taking time on Monday, June 4, 2012, to discuss on -going
compliance issues at the Subject facility with staff of the Raleigh Regional Office.
The continuing effluent limit violations are a concern to the Division and we would like to offer our assistance to you
and Pilgrim's Pride in an effort to support and encourage future compliance with all terms and limits of the subject
permit.
One such tool that is available is a Special Order by Consent, a consent agreement that would be between the EMC
(represented by the Division of Water Quality) and Pilgrim's Pride Corporation. It is our understanding from the
telephone conversation of June 1 ar there are plans to upgrade the facility in order to affect compliance with the subject
permit. We feel that a consent order will establish a clear timeframe for changes to be made and will benefit Pilgrim's
Pride.
We would like to invite you and any other representatives from Pilgrim's Pride to our office to further discuss
compliance issues at Pilgrim's Pride Processing Plant. Please contact me at 919-791-4200 or [e-mail]
to schedule a time in the near lure to meet.

ADDENDUM - FACT SKEET FOR NPDES PERMIT ISSUED
NPDES PERMIT NC0072575
Pilgrim's Pride Corp. Sanford Plant
SUMMARY OF CHANGES TO FINAL PERMIT — June 4, 2012
Several technical corrections were made to the final permit as follows:
1) Per upper Cape Fear River nutrient strategy for this size permitted flow, the permittee is
required to monitor monthly Nitrate/Nitrite Nitrogen and Kjeldahl Nitrogen. These
monitoring parameters were added to the final permit.
2) Per upper Cape Fear River nutrient strategy this permit is required to incorporate a newly
defined nutrient re -opener special condition. This replaces the previous Deep River
supplementary monitoring re -opener condition in the draft permit. This revision was
made in the final permit.
3) The draft permit Total Nitrogen Compliance Plan special condition is not an appropriate
condition in this permit. Any Total Nitrogen non-compliance will continue to be
addressed through enforcement actions. This special condition narrative was removed in
the final permit.

The incoming flow does not stop. The outgoing flow is diverted from the chlorine
contact chamber to
the backwash basin during the wash period. . water in the backwash basin is pumped
to the
emergency storage pond. The incoming flow is used to wash the filter. There is a 10
minute purge time
at the end of the wash period to clear up the filter discharge before flow is
diverted back to the

HISTORY
.: 1988
- The permit mass -based water quality limits were determined based on the waste load
from a model developed for this segment of Deep River, and mutually accepted as the
best match to the facility operation. There were no applicable federal effluent
guidelines at this time.
1990
- The owner, Golden Poultry, requested a modification which was granted to adjust
limits to more align with plant operations.
'- Prior to the next permit renewal an SOC was put in place and required a study plan
and improvements be made to the treatment operation. Also, an EAA was submitted to
support the on site upgrade of the treatment system and outfall relocation. The next
renewal was delayed as a result of on going litigation and resolution of permit
regulatory changes.
1996
- A new permit was issued and included the addition of a second tier for limits
applicable for the pending advanced biological wastewater treatment plant discharge
and outfall relocation. This second tier contained a permitted flow; a TRC limit;
calculated concentration -based BOD, NH3-N, and DO limits; and the removal of
rainfall reporting. Other requirements were the same as in the first tier.
- The new permit first tier, associated with the existing operation, was amended and
included the addition of TRC monitoring, the change of fecal coliform limits to
secondary treatment standards, and the amendment of the lagoon -based treatment
system description narrative.
- Additional narrative was added in the permit for the pending new wastewater
treatment plant and outfall relocation.
1997
- Three modified permits were issued. The first modified permit reduced instream
_
conductivity monitoring in the summer as settlement for contesting the permit. The
other modifications addressed changes in instream sample location and frequency. Also
the permittee owner changed to Gold Kist.
1998
- An AtoC was issued and signed Engineer Certificate received for an upgrade to the
treatment operation.
2000
- Gold Kist became a member of the Upper Cape Fear River Basin Association and was
granted a waiver for the permit instream monitoring requirements.
- The treated sanitary wastewater effluent was rerouted from the process wastewater
treatment plant to the irrigation treatment operation to facilitate the ability to recycle
treated wastewater. The reroute also required the addition of tablet chlorination to the
treated sanitary effluent and modification of the non -discharge permit.
- A NPDES permit correction was issued that established a new expiration date of
September 30, 2001.
2002
- A new permit was issued with a single 1.0 MGD effluent page with no changes, and
removal of narratives that were no longer applicable.

Bruce or John,
I was reviewing your NPDES permit and renewal application and discovered we need
the facilities
production numbers (lbs/day) for the last three years. The flow schematic attached
to the application
lists 182 birds/min, 16 hrs per day, 5 days per week. In the application's
accompanying letter it talks
about processing live chickens and chicken parts , the typical.operation ran 260
days in a year. I need
both an annual production (lbs/yr) and daily production (lbs/day) typical for each
year. if the typical
daily production is the same for all three years then just provide one daily
production and state that
daily production did not change. You may want to make a note for future NPDES
renewal applications
to include production data.
If you have any questions on this let me know.

BACKGROUND
Pilgrim's Pride Corporation (formerly Gold Kist, Inc.) operates a poultry processing plant in
Sanford, NC. The plant processes live chickens and chicken parts into various packaged chicken
meat products producing 360 million pounds of packed chicken annually. The Permittee is a
member of the Upper Cape Fear Basin Association.
Wastewater from various plant operations, boiler and condenser blowdown, maintenance, and
area stormwater are collected and treated in an advance biological treatment system where the
majority of the treated wastewater is discharged to Deep River, Cape Fear River Basin. This
facility NPDES discharge is subject to federal effluent guidelines CFR 40 Section 432 Subpart L
Poultry Further Processing.
HISTORY
2007 - A new permit was issued with significant changes. Permit requirements were based on
the new federal effluent guideline 432 Subpart L and waste load factors utilizing plant
current operation and production data.
- BOD, NH3-N, and DO limits were defined to meet waste load requirements; BOD and
NH3-N limits were more stringent than the effluent guidelines.
- The federal guidelines required reductions in TSS limits, Oil and Grease limits, and
the addition of total nitrogen limits.
- Fecal coliform secondary standards limits, TRC limit, pH limits, and other special
conditions did not change.
- The Deep River Strategy mandated additional total nitrogen and total phosphorus
monitoring, and a special reopener condition.
- The permit owner name was corrected to show the new owner Pilgrim's Pride.
- A SOC was issued with interim limits to allow Pilgrims Pride time to make the
necessary changes to meet the new permit total nitrogen limits by August 31, 2008.

TREATMENT PROCESS I I ,
A tank collects and then pumps the plant's screened wastewater to a covered/lined 17 million
gallon anaerobic basin. Solids from the screen are sent=off-site. A flare is available to incinerate
off gas (methane) from the anaerobic basin.
The anaerobic basin wastewater is pumped to the advance biological treatment system which
consists of an extended aeration basin, a clarifier, a tertiary filter, and
chlorination/dechlorination. Metered treated wastewater flows to a post cascade aeration basin
and then to the outfall, a small portion is recycled for reuse in the plant. Treated wastewater can
be diverted to either a storage lagoon or the irrigation treatment system.
Filter backwash and filter diverted effluent wastewater is collects in the backwash basin, and
pumped to the emergency pond. The emergency pond wastewater including plant stormwater is
disposed of through irrigation.
The advance treatment system biosolids are transferred to an anaerobic basin which provides a
very methodical, slow digestion. The lagoon has been in service for several decades with little
solids removal and has an expected storage capacity beyond the next 40 years. When solid
removal is required additional lagoons are available for dewatering of solids before final
disposal.
Sanitary wastewater is treated and stored in the irrigation ponds. The facility maintains a non -
discharge permit for irrigation. Excess treated wastewater from the advanced treatment system
can be diverted to the sanitary treatment system.
COMPLIANCE
Since issuance of the 2007 permit, this facility committed 36 limit violations and paid $9,958 in
fines. TN violations were the most prevalent and continued into 2011 with 5 violations occurring
between July and October in 2011. Fecal coliform was the next prevalent violation but no
violations have occurred since May 2010.
PERMITTING STRATEGY
Federal guideline 432 general condition and Subpart L applies and will continue unchanged for
O&G, TSS, TN, and pH. BOD, ammonia as nitrogen, and fecal coliform water quality standard
limits are more stringent and will continue (see Table 1).

No failures were reported for this permit cycle Chronic Toxicity tests. The Aquatic Toxicology
Unit performed a 24 hour pass/fail chronic test in May, 2011 which was passed. The permit
chronic toxicity requirement will continue with the special condition narrative being updated.
Instream Sampling
As a member of the Upper Cape Fear River Basin Association a waiver for instream sampling is
granted. The last reported data was retrieved from the association monitoring stations located
upstream and downstream from Permittee discharge, no impacts were noted.
SUMMARY OF PROPOSED CHANGES
In keeping with Division permit development strategy the following will be incorporated into
this permit:
• Add TRC footnote for reporting and measurement protocol.
• Add special condition for TN Compliance Plan.
• Update chronic toxicity special condition narrative.

Sanford, Lee County, North Carolina
NPDES Permit No.: NC0072575
March 2011
Pilgrim's Pride Corporation operates a poultry processing plant in Sanford, North Carolina. This
Facility is located at 484 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 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:
• Covered anaerobic treatment lagoon with biogas collection and flaring;
• Activated sludge treatment system with integral nitrification/denitrification;
• Clarification;
• Tertiary filtration; and
• Disinfection and dechlorination.
According to Facility records, the average daily volume of wastewater treated in the advanced
wastewater treatment system in 2010 was approximately 1.3 million gallons per day (MGD) on a
processing day (260 processing days in a typical year). 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) 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 are managed (i.e., treated/disposed)
in the anaerobic treatment lagoon. Specifically, waste biosolids from the activated sludge
treatment system are transferred to the influent of the anaerobic treatment lagoon. This method
of biosolids management is common in the poultry processing industry and has proven to be an
effective management/disposal method. The sludge yield in large anaerobic lagoon systems is
very minor due to the very long detention times. The anaerobic lagoon at the Facility has a total
volume of approximately eighteen (18) million gallons. Accordingly, the system is expected to
provide many years of services without the need for sludge removal. Other similar anaerobic
treatment lagoons used in the poultry processing industry have been in operation for several
decades without the need for any significant sludge removal.

A Sludge Accumulation Estimate fo'r the anaerobic treatment lagoon at the Facility is attached.
This Sludge Accumulation Estimate indicates the anaerobic treatment system should be able to
operate for more than forty (40) years without the need for sludge removal. The estimated
operational period indicated in this Sludge Accumulation Estimate is supported by operational
experience for similar systems at other poultry processing plants in the United States. In the
event sludge removal from the anaerobic lagoon at the Facility is required in the future, a third
party contractor would be retained for sludge removal and disposal services. The existing
emergency storage lagoon onsite could be used for staging this material for dewatering and/or
offsite management.
The Facility is in the process of upgrading screening systems to improve recovery of offal
materials for offsite rendering, and these upgrades will reduce influent solids loading to the
anaerobic lagoon system. Also, a bacteria supplement product (i.e., for bioaugmentation)
supplied by Maryland Biochemical Co., Inc. is fed into the influent to the Facility's anaerobic
lagoon system to further enhance treatment performance and degradation (destruction) of fat, oil
and grease and solids in the system.

EPA I.D. NUMBER (copyfromItem 1 of Form 1) OUTFALL NUMBER
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3 OF FORM 2-C N00072575 1001
PART C - If you are a primary Industry and this outfall contains process wastewater, refer to Table 2c-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 indusMes, nonprocess wastewater ouffalls, and nonrequired GCIMS
'X'
fractions), mark 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. acmleln, 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.
