Samples are collected three times per week on three separate calendar days. These samples shall be representative of
the wastewater discharged during the sample period.
Act or "the Act"
The Federal Water Pollution Control Act, also known as the Clean Water Act (CWA), as amended, 33 USC 1251, et.
seq.
Annual Average
The arithmetic mean of all "daily discharges" of a pollutant measured during the calendar year. In the case of fecal
coliform, the geometric mean of such discharges.
Arithmetic Mean
The summation of the individual values divided by the number of individual values.
Bypass
The known diversion of waste streams from any portion of a treatment facility including the collection system, which is
not a designed or established or operating mode for the facility.
Calendar Day
The period from midnight of one day until midnight of the next day. However, for purposes of this permit, any
consecutive 24-hour period that reasonably represents the calendar day may be used for sampling.
Calendar Week
The period from Sunday through the following Saturday.
Calendar Ouarter
One of the following distinct periods: January through March, April through June, July through September, and
October through December.
Composite Sample
A sample collected over a 24-hour period by continuous sampling or combining grab samples of at least 100 mL in
such a manner as to result in a total sample representative of the wastewater discharge during the sample period. The
Director may designate the most appropriate method (specific number and size of aliquots necessary, the time interval
between grab samples, etc.) on a case -by -case basis. Samples may be collected manually or automatically. Composite
samples may be obtained by the following methods:
(1) Continuous: a single, continuous sample collected over a 24-hour period proportional to the rate of flow.
(2) Constant time/variable volume: a series of grab samples collected at equal time intervals over a 24 hour period
of discharge and combined proportional to the rate of flow measured at the time of individual sample
collection, or
(3) Variable time/constant volume: a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24 hour period with
the time intervals between samples determined by a preset number of gallons passing the sampling point. Flow
measurement between sample intervals shall be determined by use of a flow recorder and totalizer, and the
preset gallon interval between sample collection fixed at no greater than 1/24 of the expected total daily flow at
the treatment system, or
Version 1110912011.1

IPDES Permit Standard Conditions
Page 2 of 18
(4) Constant time/constant volume: a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24-hour period at a
constant time interval. Use of this method requires prior approval by the Director. This method may only be
used in situations where effluent flow rates vary less than 15 percent. The following restrictions also apply:
➢ Influent and effluent grab samples shall be of equal size and of no less than 100 milliliters
➢ Influent samples shall not be collected more than once per hour.
➢ Permittees with wastewater treatment systems whose detention time < 24 hours shall collect effluent grab
samples at intervals of no greater than 20 minutes apart during any 24-hour period.

Flow monitoring that occurs without interruption throughout the operating hours of the facility. Flow shall be
monitored continually except for the infrequent times when there may be no flow or for infrequent maintenance
activities on the flow device.
Daily Discharge
The discharge of a pollutant measured during a calendar day or any 24-hour period that reasonably represents the
calendar day for purposes of sampling. For pollutants measured in units of mass, the "daily discharge" is calculated as
the total mass of the pollutant discharged over the day. For pollutants expressed in other units of measurement, the
"daily discharge" is calculated as the average measurement of the pollutant over the day. (40 CFR 122.2; see also
"Composite Sample," above.)

Interference
Inhibition or disruption of the POTW treatment processes; operations; or its sludge process, use, or disposal which
causes or contributes to a violation of any requirement of the Permittee's (or any satellite POTW's if different from the
Permittee) NPDES, collection system, or non -discharge pemvt or prevents sewage sludge use or disposal in
compliance with specified applicable State and Federal statutes, regulations, or permits. [15A NCAC 02H
.0903(b)(14)]
Pass Through
A discharge which exits the POTW into waters of the State in quantities or concentrations which, alone or with
discharges from other sources, causes a violation, including an increase in the magnitude or duration of a violation, of
the Permittee's (or any satellite POTW's, if different from the Permittee) NPDES, collection system, or non -discharge
permit. [15A NCAC 02H .0903(b)(23)]
Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTW)
A treatment works as defined by Section 212 of the CWA, which is owned by a State or local government organization.
This definition includes any devices and systems used in the storage, treatment, recycling and reclamation of municipal
sewage or industrial wastes of a liquid nature. It also includes the collection system, as defined in 15A NCAC 2T
.0402, only if it conveys wastewater to a POTW treatment plant. The term also means the local government
organization, or municipality, as defined in section 502(4) of the CWA, which has jurisdiction over indirect discharges
to and the discharges from such a treatment works. In this context, the organization may be the owner of the POTW
treatment plant or the owner of the collection system into which an indirect discharger discharges. This second type of
POTW may be referred to as a "satellite POTW organization." [15A NCAC 02H .0903(b)(26)]
"Significant Industrial User" or "SIU"
An Industrial User that discharges wastewater into a publicly owned treatment works and that [15A NCAC 02H
.0903(b)(33)]:

noncontact cooling and boiler blowdown wastewaters); or
2. Contributes process wastewater which makes up five percent or more of the NPDES or non -discharge permitted
flow limit or organic capacity of the POTW treatment plant. In this context, organic capacity refers to BOD, TSS
and ammonia; or
3. Is subject to categorical standards under 40 CFR Part 403.6 and 40 CFR Parts 405-471; or
4. Is designated as such by the Permittee on the basis that the Industrial User has a reasonable potential for adversely
affecting the POTW's operation or for violating any pretreatment standard or requirement, or the POTW's effluent
limitations and conditions in its NPDES or non -discharge permit, or to limit the POTW's sludge disposal options;
5. Subject to approval under 15A NCAC 02H .0907(b), the Permittee may determine that an Industrial User meeting
the criteria in paragraphs 1 or 2 of this definition above has no reasonable potential for adversely affecting the
POTW's operation or for violating any pretreatment standard or requirement, the POTW's effluent limitations and
conditions in its NPDES or non -discharge permit, or to limit the POTW's sludge disposal options, and thus is not a
Significant Industrial User (SIU); or
6. Subject to approval under 15A NCAC 02H .0907(b), the Permittee may determine that an Industrial User meeting
the criteria in paragraph 3 of this definition above meets the requirements of 40 CFR Part 403.3(v)(2) and thus is a
non -significant categorical Industrial User.

When the required EPA analytical method with the appropriate minimum detection level is followed and
a result of "non -detectable" or "below quantitation limit' is obtained, the permittee will be considered to
be in compliance with the numerical permit limit for that pollutant.
Footnote:
1. Where any compound is detected, quarterly monitoring is required for that compound until not
detected in twelve consecutive samples. The permittee may use EPA test method 524.2 to monitor
OCPSF parameters (provided the method allows a detection level at or below the permitted limit).
A. (3) CHRONIC TOXICITY PERMIT LIMIT (Quarterly) - 001

the wastewater discharged during the sample period.
Act or "the Act"
The Federal Water Pollution Control Act, also known as the Clean Water Act (CWA), as amended, 33 USC 1251, et.
seq.
Annual Averaee
The arithmetic mean of all "daily discharges" of a pollutant measured during the calendar year. In the case of fecal
coliform, the geometric mean of such discharges.
Arithmetic Mean
The summation of the individual values divided by the number of individual values.
Bypass
The known diversion of waste streams from any portion of a treatment facility including the collection system, which is

Calendar Quarter
One of the following distinct periods: January through March, April through June, July through September, and
October through December.
Composite Sample
A sample collected over a 24-hour period by continuous sampling or combining grab samples of at least 100 mL in
such a manner as to result in a total sample representative of the wastewater discharge during the sample period. The
Director may designate the most appropriate method (specific number and size of aliquots necessary, the time interval
between grab samples, etc.) on a case -by -case basis. Samples may be collected manually or automatically. Composite
samples may be obtained by the following methods:
(1) Continuous: a single, continuous sample collected over a 24-hour period proportional to the rate of flow.

Interference
Inhibition or disruption of the POTW treatment processes; operations; or its sludge process, use, or disposal which
causes or contributes to a violation of any requirement of the Permittee's (or any satellite POTW's if different from the
Permittee) NPDES, collection system, or non -discharge permit or prevents sewage sludge use or disposal in
compliance with specified applicable State and Federal statutes, regulations, or permits. [15A NCAC 02H
.0903(b)(14)]
Pass Through
A discharge which exits the POTW into waters of the State in quantities or concentrations which, alone or with
discharges from other sources, causes a violation, including an increase in the magnitude or duration of a violation, of
the Permittee's (or any satellite POTW's, if different from the Permittee) NPDES, collection system, or non -discharge
permit. [15A NCAC 02H .0903(b)(23)]
Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTW)
A treatment works as defined by Section 212 of the CWA, which is owned by a State or local government organization.
This definition includes any devices and systems used in the storage, treatment, recycling and reclamation of municipal
sewage or industrial wastes of a liquid nature. It also includes the collection system, as defined in I5A NCAC 2T
.0402, only if it conveys wastewater to a POTW treatment plant. The term also means the local government
organization, or municipality, as defined in section 502(4) of the CWA, which has jurisdiction over indirect discharges
to and the discharges from such a treatment works. In this context, the organization may be the owner of the POTW
treatment plant or the owner of the collection system into which an indirect discharger discharges. This second type of
POTW may be referred to as a "satellite POTW organization." [15A NCAC 02H .0903(b)(26)]
"Significant Industrial User" or "SIU"
An Industrial User that discharges wastewater into a publicly owned treatment works and that [15A NCAC 02H
.0903(b)(33)1:
1. Discharges an average of 25,000 gallons per day or more of process wastewater to the POTW (excluding sanitary,
noncontact cooling and boiler blowdown wastewaters); or
2. Contributes process wastewater which makes up five percent or more of the NPDES or non -discharge permitted
flow limit or organic capacity of the POTW treatment plant. In this context, organic capacity refers to BOD, TSS
and ammonia; or
3. Is subject to categorical standards under 40 CFR Part 403.6 and 40 CFR Parts 405-471; or
4. Is designated as such by the Permittee on the basis that the Industrial User has a reasonable potential for adversely
affecting the POTW's operation or for violating any pretreatment standard or requirement, or the POTW's effluent
limitations and conditions in its NPDES or non -discharge permit, or to limit the POTW's sludge disposal options;
5. Subject to approval under 15A NCAC 02H .0907(b), the Permittee may determine that an Industrial User meeting
the criteria in paragraphs I or 2 of this definition above has no reasonable potential for adversely affecting the
POTW's operation or for violating any pretreatment standard or requirement, the POTW's effluent limitations and
conditions in its NPDES or non -discharge permit, or to limit the POTW's sludge disposal options, and thus is not a
Significant Industrial User (SIU); or
6. Subject to approval under 15A NCAC 02H .0907(b), the Permittee may determine that an Industrial User meeting
the criteria in paragraph 3 of this definition above meets the requirements of 40 CFR Part 403.3(v)(2) and thus is a
non -significant categorical Industrial User.

Moncure Holdings Utility W WTP
Cha��n vj (a n7�� Investigative Monitoring
Several emerging compounds have been found in North Carolina waters, specifically, 1,4-dioxane and a
group of chemicals known as pertluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS, also referred to as
PFCs). Data reviewed as part of the Third Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Rule (UCMR3) has
indicated elevated concentrations for these compounds in the Cape Fear River Basin. In addition,
ambient monitoring performed by DWR's Water Sciences Section have confirmed the presence of these
compounds in the Cape Fear River Basin. See ambient monitoring study reports listed under the
following link: https://de,i.nc,goy/about/divisions/water-resources/waterresources-datalw_ater-sciences-
home-, a e/1-4-dioxane
Background
1,4-dioxane is a clear liquid that is highly miscible in water. It has historically been used as a solvent
stabilizer and is currently used for a wide variety of industrial and manufacturing purposes. The
compound can be found in industrial solvents, paint strippers, and varnishes and is often produced as a
by-product of chemical processes to manufacture soaps, plastics, and other consumer products.
The U.S. EPA has not established a maximum contaminant level for 1,4-dioxane in drinking water but
has characterized it as "likely to be carcinogenic to humans" and has established a drinking water health
advisory of 35 µg/L. North Carolina has a calculated human health surface water criterion with an
associated estimated lifetime cancer risk of one in one million at a concentration for 1,4-dioxane of 0.35
µg/L in water supplies and 80 µg/L in all other waterbodies (15A NCAC 02B .0208).
PFAS compounds are most often associated with nonstick coatings, plating operations, firefighting foams,
and stain- and water-resistant treatments for clothing, furniture and carpeting.
PFAS has been found to have adverse effects in laboratory animals and humans when ingested. To
provide Americans with a margin of protection from a lifetime of exposure to PFAS from drinking water,
EPA has established the health advisory level of 70 ng/L individually and combined for two of the most
common PFAS compounds: PFOA (perfluorooctanoic acid) and PFOS (perfluorooctane sulfonate).
Required Actions
To assess the levels of these compounds throughout the Cape Fear and to assist DWR in developing a
Management Strategy to reduce levels of these emerging compounds, Industries permitted under the
National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) which employ processes associated with the
discharge of these compounds are hereby required to perform investigative monitoring at the treatment
plant effluent for 1,4-dioxane and total PFAS once per month for three consecutive months starting in
October 2019. Such investigative actions can be required under 15A NCAC 02B .0508 (b)(2) and G.S.
143-215.66.

specify l,4-dioxane by EPA method 624.1 when contacting the labs. The Division
recommends that the lab uses sufficiently sensitive test procedures with a target Practical
Quantification Level (PQL) of approximately I µg/L.
In addition to reporting the monthly results on the facility's eDMR, please send a copy of all
three monthly results to the DWR NPDES Complex Permitting Unit by January 31, 2020 at
the following email address (please include the lab sheets with the test results):
[e-mail]. Please include your NPDES permit number in your subject
heading.
If your effluent samples exceed the human health surface water criteria for 1,4-dioxane pertaining to your
receiving stream classification, DWR NPDES Complex Permitting Staff will evaluate the impact on the
receiving stream based on your facility's discharge and receiving stream volume. If necessary, NPDES
staff will contact you to develop a corrective action plan to begin reducing or eliminating 1,4-dioxane
discharges from your facility.
The PFAS drinking water health advisory of 70 ng/L is the target concentration for the sum of sample
results for PFOA and PFOS. NPDES staff will evaluate PFAS data results and impacts on the receiving
stream based on your facility's discharge flow, receiving stream volume, and location of water supply
intakes downstream. If necessary, NPDES staff will contact you to develop a corrective action plan to
begin reducing or eliminating PFAS discharges from your facility.
Please be aware that criteria are being developed for PFAS compounds and are likely to be lower than the
current drinking water health advisory level. Results for PFAS that do not currently require action may
trigger reduction activities in the future.
More Information
Attachment A outlines a suggested list of PFAS compounds for analysis and Attachment B identifies a
list of labs that have been pre -approved as capable of analyzing PFAS by LCMSMS Compliant with
Table B-15 of QSM 5.1 or Latest Version or with an acceptable modification.
The Department looks forward to working closely with you on this important public health issue. Data
from the Cape Fear River Basin will be evaluated to determine next steps to reduce the discharge of 1,4-
dioxane and PFAS throughout the State.

Mr. Zhang,
I am the site leader for the Moncure site responsible for daily operations for Moncure Holdings West, LLC, Chatham County, which
operates a Facility Class 11, Permit NC0001899 WWTP. The ORC for the Wastewater Treatment Plant is Larry Murray, WW q 25810.
We are in the process of closing down the WWTP by the end of the third quarter 2019.
The site manufacturing plant was shut down in November 2014 (production stopped) and demolition of the manufacturing buildings
were completed in 2017.
We are still maintaining and operating the wastewater treatment plant. Here at the site there is no process and or sanitary waste
water being produced. Presently stormwater is our only source of water being sent to the WWTP for treatment and effluent
released to Outfall 001.
I am asking if we can have any relief from the continuous monitoring requirements (no continuous monitoring unit with a dial out
system) of the WWTP permit for Moncure.
We ideally would like to be able to release from the clarifier to the contact chamber and outfall while preparing for the closure 24
hours per day Monday through Friday. Our set up would be to have an operator on -site 4 hours a day Monday through Friday, there
would be no operator on -site the other 20 hours each day, we would monitor pH and conductivity during the entire discharge event
and discharge at a uniform rate. The site would not have continuous monitoring unit with a dial out system and we would not
release effluent on the weekends.
Presently we only have a ORC on site for 4 hours a day Monday through Friday. We are essentially only releasing rainwater out of
the impoundments at this point which we have run through the WWTP and treat.
Thank You
Earl Beal

1. The current permit became effective on December 1, 2017.
2. The facility stopped production in 2015 and has been in the process of demolition since.
There has been no process wastewater generated from the facility. At the time of inspection,
very limited amount of domestic wastewater mixed with stormwater from the spill pond
(containing spilled material from a chemical spill incident occurred in March 2013) was
treated in the following treatment units: aeration basin, secondary clarifier, polishing pond,
contact chamber and discharged from Outfall 001. The onsite water treatment plant was
shut down in March 2015, when potable water was provided by Chatham County. The two
alum settling ponds for process wastewater will be closed out following approved
procedures (ponds will be drained, sludge will be removed for offsite disposal, and ponds

will be backfilled to grade). The 1200-gallon mixing/neutralization tank for process
wastewater was not in operation since the production ceased.
3. It was noted that Outfall 002 was last sampled in July 2017. The facility has been
reporting "No Discharge" at the outfall since then. It is understood that no steam
condensate is discharged at Outfall 002, and the discharge pipe from the spill pond
has been closed after the 2013 spill. However, stormwater runoff and possible
overflow from the fire ponds are still being discharged at Outfall 002. The facility
must resume quarterly monitoring at Outfall 002 immediately.
4. The ORC maintains a daily logbook. Lab results, chain -of -custody forms, and DMRs were
complete and current, kept in good order and ready for review. April 2017 DMR data were
compared to lab bench sheets; no data transcription errors were noted. Effluent flow meters
were calibrated quarterly.
5. Field lab parameter (Certificate No. 5024) calibration and analysis records were reviewed
during the inspection.
Please respond in writing to RRO within 30 days of receipt of this letter regarding Item 3,
please explain in details why monitoring was not conducted at Outfall 002 since July 2017,
and when the monitoring will be resumed. If you have any questions regarding the attached
reports or any of the findings, please contact Cheng Zhang at: (919) 7914200 (or email:

Ouffall 002 was last sampled in July 2017. The facility has been reporting "No Discharge" at the outfall
since then. It is understood that no steam condensate is discharged at Ouffall 002, however,
stormwater runoff and possible overflow from the fire ponds are still discharged at Outfall 002. The
facility may request waiver of monitoring requirement at the ouffall from the Division. The facility shall
continue to conduct quarterly monitoring at Ouffall 002, unless the Division grants waiver of the
monitoring requirements at the outfall.

Permit No. NC0001899
Moncure Holdings West WWTP
Chatham County
Dear Cheng Zhang
WithersRavenel, Inc. has prepared this communication on behalf of Moncure Holdings West, LLC and
Moncure Holdings Utility, LLC concerning the Notice of Violation issued on October 17, 2018 concerning
the exceedance of BOD in a daily sample at Outfall 001 on June 13, 2018 and the monthly limit for BOD
for June 2018.
The waste water treatment plant is currently operating at a low flow condition, relative to the permit limits,
and only receives stormwater entering various collection features on the property and a toilet for 2
employees. No industrial waste water from any source is being introduced at the plant nor was being
introduced during June 2018. The observed BOD concentration for the June 13 2018 monitoring event
is an outlier and as the summary table attached to this letter shows that BOD values have been consistently
within permit limits for July and August 2018.
No corrective action appears necessary for the WWTP to meet permit conditions under routine site
conditions where the WWTP system is only processing stormwater which enters the system and domestic
waste from a single toilet. A separate letter will be issued concerning operation of the WWTP during the
tropical storm conditions in September and October 2018.
Please contact me with any questions or comments in this matter.
Sincerely.
WithersRaven

Subject: Compliance Evaluation Inspection
Moncure Holding Utility, LLC WWTP
NPDES Permit No. NC0001899
Chatham County
Dear Mr. Kaplan:
On February 23, 2017, Jason Robinson of the Raleigh Regional Office (RRO) conducted a compliance
evaluation inspection of the subject facility. The assistance provided by Mr. Larry Murray, Mr. Earl
Beal and Mr. Chan Bryant (all from Withers Ravenel) was greatly appreciated. The inspection report
is attached. The following observations were made:
1. The current permit became effective on February 1, 2016 due an ownership change request
from DuraFiber Technologies (DFT), Inc. to Moncure Holdings Utilities, LLC. The permit
expired on July 31. A permit renewal application was received by NCDWR on June 8, 2016.
A new permit has not been issued to date.
2. The facility is permitted to discharged .244 MGD of wastewater from Outfall 001 to the Haw
River, a WS-IV water in the Cape Fear River Basin, and stormwater, steam condensate and
overflow from two 1,200,000-gallon fire ponds from Outfall 002 to Shaddox Creek, also a
WS_IV water in the Cape Fear River Basin. Currently, no condensate is discharged at Outfall
002 (see #4 below), only stormwater and overflow from the fire ponds.
3. The plant is classified as$ -2-2 wastewater facility. Mr. Larry Murray is the Operator in
Charge (ORC) r Eazl B�aLia the backup ORC (bORC). Both are W W-2 operators.
Daily operation log bokept on -site going back beyond five years. o is
lj,,L , TA-s M/: faith jien.tww, (uUU;-z). OeC CW0,512 �rN+ m-J-
4. The facility has been closed for several years and is no longer manufacturing products. At the
time of the inspection, it was in the final stages of being demolished. The wastewater is
therefore domestic generated by the demolition crew that is occasionally there and other on -site
employees and stormwater, with no industrial waste being generated or treated. Therefore, the
wastewater treatment facility is only discharging at a fraction of the permitted discharge limit,
and in recent months, there was no flow for up to and over half of each month. The facility
connected to county water in 2013 and the "Conventional water treatment plant' that is listed
in the current permit is not operational. The two alum settling ponds that are still included in

the most recent permit we._ ....ed as catch basins for the water treat.._..: plant filter backwash,
and are no longer in use.
5. The facility is field certified for pH. Buffers were within expiration dates, and calibration logs
were kept on site. Lab results, chain -of -custody forms, and DMRs were complete and current,
kept in good order and ready for review. Pace Analytical is used for all parameters except pH.
6. At the time of inspection two of the three aerators were in use in the aeration basin. It was
explained that two of the three are always operated and manually rotated. Weirs in the clarifier
appeared level and clean, and effluent flowing off the weirs appeared clear.
7. The right of way to the outfall was well maintained. No visible impacts were noted around or
immediately downstream of the location of the effluent pipe.
If you have any questions regarding the attached reports or any of the findings, please contact Jason
Robinson at: [phone] (or email: [e-mail]).
