Regarding O & G limit, facility indicated in their application that O & G could be discharged,
anticipated min. value of 5 mg/l; max. value of 15 mg/l. Therefore, a limit was given. This
should be in mg/1 not lbs/day (my mistake).
Regarding domestic ww being discharged, a new WLA will not be required since the design
capacity will remain the same. Only a breakdown of the industrial/domestic constituencies
will change.
Per conversation w/ Carla she recommends that fecal limit of 200/100ml be given and
residual chlorine limit of 28 ug/1 with recommended dechlorination, if chlorine is used as the
disinfectant.
Sorry for the serious lagtime in responding.

Oil & Grease - mg/l, I found it on toxic page. Just curious, why this is req'd for a textile
plant? Greg.

Would a new WLA have to be done if the applicant wanted to discharge domestic waste with
the process flow? The domestic flow is 0.4% of the total. They are thinking of abandoning
the land app. disposal of the domestic waste. Greg.

b. Date(s) and construction activities allowed by previous
Authorizations to Construct issued in the previous two (2)
years: None
C. What is the actual treatment capacity of the current facility
(design volume)? 0.91
d. Please provide a description of existing or substantially
constructed wastewater treatment facilities: New facility
IV
2. Please provide a description of proposed wastewater treatment
facilities: Influent flow equalization, screening, pH control,
extended aeration, clarification, aerobic sludge digestion, land
application of sludge,
3. Residuals handling and utilization/disposal scheme: Land
application of sludge
a. If residuals are being land applied, please specify DEM
Permit Number Contract has been let with EWR to prepare a
Nondischarge application for land application of sludge
Residual Contractor: EWR
Telephone Number: 800-476-8184
b. fesiduals stabilization: PSRP PFRP OTHER N/A*
No domestic waste will be treated in the system therefore,
PSRP & PFRP do not apply

PART III - $VALUATION AND RECOMMNDATIONS
Issuance of A to C is recommended in accordance with the applicant's
submittal. Specific comments and considerations in formulating the
recommendation are offered below.
Table 2 in Engineering Report shows phenol limit of 7.6 lbs/da; the
phenol limit (based upon NSPS) will be 4.1 lbs/da. In a telephone
conversation with the engineer (Robert S. Whitaker, BP Barber & Assoc,
803-576-6610), he stated that he was aware of the actual phenol
limitation and that the 4.1 lbs/da limitation would not pose a problem.
Table 3 in Engineering Report lists 7 digesters. The correct number is
2 (as shown on the plans) at 250,000 gallons each for a total of
500,000 gallons.

Flat bottom in sludge holding basin would not be expected to pose an
operational problem due to diffusers in bottom of basin and nature of
solids expected from a facility treating textile wastewaters. The
engineer stated that he had advised his client of possible problems
resulting from the flat bottom in the basin and that the client wished
to proceed with a flat bottom in the sludge holding basin.
The proposed design appears to have been well considered and provides
substantial operating flexibility.
