Flow shall be released slowly so as to prevent erosion of the receiving stream. Total flow from the outfall for one discharge event shall not exceed the capacity of the storage tank. 3. The discharge shall not cause the turbidity of the receiving stream to exceed 50 NTU. If the turbidity exceeds these levels as a result the natural background conditions, the discharge level cannot cause any increase in the turbidity in the receiving stream. 4. The temperature of the effluent shall not cause an increase in the temperature of the receiving stream of more than 2.8'C and in no case cause the ambient water temperature to exceed 32°C. 5. Acute Annual Toxicity (Fathead Minnow) per A. (2). THERE SHALL BE NO DISCHARGE OF FLOATING SOLIDS OR VISIBLE FOAM IN OTHER THAN TRACE AMOUNTS. Permit NCO083038 A. (2) ACUTE TOXICITY MONITORING (ANNUAL) The permittee shall conduct annual toxicity tests using protocols defined as definitive in E.P.A. Document EPA/600/4-90/027 entitled "Methods for Measuring the Acute Toxicity of Effluents to Freshwater and Marine Organisms." The monitoring shall be performed as a Fathead Minnow (Pimephales promelas) 24 hour static test. Effluent samples for self -monitoring purposes must be obtained below all waste treatment. The permittee will conduct one test annually, with the annual period beginning in January of the calendar year of the effective date of the permit. The annual test requirement must be performed and reported by June 30. If no discharge occurs by June 30, notification will be made to the Division by this date. Toxicity testing will be performed on the next discharge event for the annual test requirement. The parameter code for this test is TAE6C. All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit condition will be entered on the Effluent Discharge Form (MR-1) for the month in which it was performed, using the appropriate parameter code. Additionally, DWQ Form AT-1 (original) is to be sent to the following address: Attention: NC DENR / DWQ / Environmental Sciences Section 1621 Mail Service Center Raleigh, N.C. 27699-1621 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 any test data from either these monitoring requirements 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. 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 following the month of the initial monitoring. rff1TTA SAINT-GOBAIN CONTAINERS November 9, 2004 Certified Mail — Return Receipt Requested Maureen P.

Enclosed is the application package consisting of the application form, map, and this cover letter with supplemental information. The original and two copies are enclosed as requested. There have been no facility changes since the last permit was issued May 19, 2000. Description of Discharge Saint-Gobain Containers operates two glass -melting furnaces at this location for the manufacture of glass bottles and jars. Whenever the molten glass is drained from a furnace, clean city water is used to cool the glass and the metal chute, and direct the flow of glass down the chute. This cooling water does not come into contact with any oils or other substances used in the plant, and there are no treatment chemicals or other additives used. The quench water is held in a 500,000 gallon aboveground storage tank for temperature control then is discharged to the receiving stream at a controlled rate over a period of several days. Approximately 300,000 to 500,000 gallons of quench water is used during a fumace drain. The discharge is intermittent and only occurs as a result of a drain event. The primary reasons for a furnace drain are a scheduled or emergency furnace repair. Repairs are typically scheduled about every 7 to 10 years. Sainl-Gobain Conlaineis Sludge Management Plan A sludge management plan is not applicable to this wastewater treatment since no sludge or solids are generated. The water is used only for cooling and the treatment is temporary storage for temperature control. If you have any questions regarding this matter, please contact me at (765) 741-7112.
