The permittee shall conduct acute toxicity tests on a Quarterlr� basis using protocols defined in the
North Carolina Procedure Document entitled "Pass/Fail Methodology for Determining Acute Toxicity
In A Single Effluent Concentration" (Revised -July, 1992 or subsequent versions). The monitoring
shall be performed as a Fathead Minnow (Pimephales promelas) 24 hour static test. The effluent
concentration at which there may be at no time significant acute mortality is 90% (defined as
treatment two in the procedure document). Effluent samples for self -monitoring purposes must be
obtained during representative effluent discharge below all waste treatment. The tests will be
performed during the months of March, June, September and December.
All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit condition will be entered on the Effluent
Discharge Monitoring Form (MR-1) for the month in which it was performed, using the parameter
code TGE6C. Additionally, DWR Form AT-2 (original) is to be sent to the following address:

Test data shall be complete and accurate and include all supporting chemical/ physical
measurements performed in association with the toxicity tests, as well as all dose/response data.
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 any single quarterly monitoring indicate a failure to meet specified limits, then monthly
monitoring will begin immediately until such time that a single test is passed. Upon passing, this
monthly test requirement will revert to quarterly in the months specified above.
Should the permittee fail to monitor during a month in which toxicity monitoring is required, then
monthly monitoring will begin immediately until such time that a single test is passed. Upon
passing, this monthly test requirement will revert to quarterly in the months specified above.
Should any test data from either these monitoring requirements or tests performed by the North
Carolina Division of Water Resources indicate potential impacts to the receiving stream, this permit
may be re -opened and modified to include alternate monitoring requirements or limits.
NOTE: Failure to achieve test conditions as specified in the cited document, such as minimum
control organism survival 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

The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit observable inhibition of reproduction or significant
mortality to Ceriodaphnia dubia at an effluent concentration of 0.55%.
The permit holder shall perform at a minimum, gyarterlu monitoring using test procedures outlined
in the "North Carolina Cedodaphnia 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 March, June, September, and December. 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.
All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit condition will be entered on the Effluent
Discharge Monitoring Form (MR-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, DWR

the commencement of discharge.
Starting on December 21, 2020, the permittee must electronically report the following
compliance monitoring data and reports, when applicable:
• Sewer Overflow/Bypass Event Reports;
• Pretreatment Program Annual Reports; and
• Clean Water Act (CWA) Section 316(b) Annual Reports.
The permittee may seek an electronic reporting waiver from the Division (see "How to Request a
Waiver from Electronic Reporting" section below).
2. Electronic Submissions
In accordance with 40 CFR 122.41(1)(9), the permittee must identify the initial recipient at the
time of each electronic submission. The permittee should use the EPA's website resources to
identify the initial recipient for the electronic submission.
Initial recipient of electronic NPDES information from NPDES-regulated facilities means the entity
(EPA or the state authorized by EPA to implement the NPDES program) that is the designated
entity for receiving electronic NPDES data [see 40 CFR 127.2(b)].
EPA plans to establish a website that will also link to the appropriate electronic reporting tool for
each type of electronic submission and for each state. Instructions on how to access and use the
appropriate electronic reporting tool will be available as well. Information on EPA's NPDES
Electronic Reporting Rule is found at:
https• / /www.federalregister. gov / documents 12015110122 / 2015-24954 / national-pollutant-
discharge-elimination-system-npdes-electronic-reporting-rule
Electronic submissions must start by the dates listed in the "Reporting Requirements" section
above.
3. How to Request a Waiver from Electronic Reporting
The permittee may seek a temporary electronic reporting waiver from the Division. To obtain an
electronic reporting waiver, a permittee must first submit an electronic reporting waiver request
to the Division. Requests for temporary electronic reporting waivers must be submitted in writing
to the Division for written approval at least sixty (60) days prior to the date the facility would be
required under this permit to begin submitting monitoring data and reports. The duration of a
temporary waiver shall not exceed 5 years and shall thereupon expire. At such time, monitoring
data and reports shall be submitted electronically to the Division unless the permittee re -applies
for and is granted a new temporary electronic reporting waiver by the Division. Approved
electronic reporting waivers are not transferrable. Only permittees with an approved reporting
waiver request may submit monitoring data and reports on paper to the Division for the period
that the approved reporting waiver request is effective.

BACKGROUND
Mitchell-Bissel (NI-B) Industries is an industrial discharger producing metal stamping and wire forms.
The processes performed on -site are metal stamping, metal forming, chrome plating and zinc plating.
The facility is located near Rosman, North Carolina and discharges to high quality waters in the French
Broad River Basin. The NPDES permit for M-B Industries covers three outfalls. Outfall 001
discharges process wastewater that has undergone physical/chemical treatment and falls under federal
effluent guidelines (40CFR 433.13). Outfall 002 consists entirely of non -contact cooling water, and
Outfall 003 discharges treated groundwater.
REASONABLE POTENTIAL ANALYSIS (RPA)— OUTFALL 001 AND OUTFALL 003
The Division conducted EPA -recommended analyses to determine the reasonable potential for
toxicants to be discharged at levels exceeding water quality standards/EPA criteria by this facility
from Outfall 001 and Outfall 003. For the purposes of the RPA, the background concentrations for
all parameters were assumed to be below detections level. The RPA uses 95% probability level and
95% confidence basis in accordance with the EPA Guidance entitled "Technical Support Document
for Water Quality -based Toxics Control."
The long term discharge data was used in the analysis. For Outfall 001 calculations included: Cd, Total
Phenolic Compounds, Cr, Cu, CN, Pb, Ni, Ag, and Zn (please see attached). For Outf tU 003
calculations included: As, Cd, Chlorides, Cr, CN, Pb, Se, Ag, Zn, Tetrachloroethane, Trichloroethane,
and Cis 1,2 dichloroethane (please see attached). Based on the RPA, no water quality based limits are
necessary for both outfalls. TBEL limits will be maintained for Outfall 001.

COMPLIANCE SUMMARY
During the last 5 years, the facility has not violated any permit limits, please see attached.
PERMIT LIMITS DEVELOPMENT
• The pH limits in the permit are based on the requirements of the 15A NCAC 2B .0200 (Outfall
0012 Outfall 002, and Outfall 003).
• The temperature limits in the permit are based on the requirements of the 15A NCAC 2B .0200
(Outfall 001 and Outfall 002).
• The following limits in the permit are based on the requirements of 40 CFR 433.13: TSS, Oil
and Grease, TTO, Total Cadmium, Total Chromium, Total Nickel, Total Copper, Total
Cyanide, Total Lead, Total Silver, Total Zinc (Outfall 001).
• The TRC limit in the permit is based on the requirements of the 15A NCAC 2B .0211 (Outfall
002).
• The Whole Effluent Toxicity limits in the permit are based on the requirements of the 15A
NCAC 2B .0500 (Outfall 001 and Outfall 003).
PROPOSED CHANGES
• The pH limits were added to Outfall 002 and Outfall 003 to meet the requirements of 15A
NCAC 2B .0200.
• The monitoring for Total Phenolic Compounds was removed from Outfall 001 based on the
results of the Reasonable Potential Analysis.
• Based on the results of the Reasonable Potential Analysis the monitoring for the following
parameters was removed from Outfall 003: As, Cd, Chlorides, Cu, CN, Pb, Se, Ag, and Zn.
The requirement to begin reporting discharge monitoring data electronically using the NC
DWR's Electronic Discharge Monitoring Report (eDMR) internet application has been added
to the permit. (Please see Special Condition A. (7)).

Dear Sonia,
Our sludge is produced from a flock that is the result of increasing the ph of the influent, adding
a coagulant, and polymer. This mixture is sent to a clarifier for separation of the Flock and Water. The
Flock precipitates to the bottom of a hopper and the water continues to a final tank where the PH is
adjusted to a parameter 6 — 9. The sludge is pumped into the filter press which squeezes most of the
water from the sludge. Now the cake is scraped from the filter screens in to a auger style dryer, where
the cake is dried to a powder consistency. The sludge has now become a F006 Hazardous waste stored
in 55 gallon drums awaiting Environmental Marketing Services, Inc. to take delivery.
Thanks,
Edwin Morrow

?. Describe the treatment system List all installed waste treatment components with capacities,
describe the processes that generate wastewaters. If the space provided is not sufficient attach a
separate sheet of paper with the system description.
Outfall 001: Wastewater is generated from 3 Electro-plating Lines (Tin, Zinc, and Chrome), 1 Black
Oxide Line, and several vibratory finishing machines. The wastewater flows into 2) 4000 gallon tanks.
Wastewater then flows thru 3 treatment tank where the PH is adjusted, coagulant and polymer added,
and mixed thoroughly. A Flock is produce and travels thru a clarifier for separation where the Flock or
sludge precipitates in a hopper and clean water is adjusted for PH and discharged into the West Fork
French Broad River. The sludge is then pumped into a filter press where most of the water is squeezed
out. The sludge cake is scraped from the screens and falls into a sludge dryer where the still damp
cake becomes a powder and ready to ship to hazardous waste land fill.
