Permit No. NCO083038
SUPPLEMENT TO EFFLUENT LIMITATIONS
AND MONITORING REQUIREMENTS
SPECIAL CONDITIONS
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 promeias) 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: Environmental Sciences Branch
North Carolina Division of
Water Quality
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 it
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.

RE: NPDES Draft Permit No. NCO083038
Ball -Foster Glass Container Co., L.L.C.
Henderson, Vance County
Dear Mr. Belnick:
Ball -Foster Glass Container Co., L.L.C. has reviewed the draft permit dated March 15,
2000 and offers the following comments for your consideration.
/l. Supplement to permit cover, item 2 states that the receiving water is in the Lumber
River Basin. We believe that is incorrect and should be changed to Tar River.
1/2. The footnote at the end of Section A (1), Effluent Limitations states that the cooling
water shall not pass through the old recycle pond. Ball -Foster would like to point out
that the pond is gone. The former pond area was previously cleaned up, filled with
clean soil, and seeded with grass. The cooling water is directed to a storm drain
located near the holding tank and is released to the ditch through a buried pipe.
If you have any questions regarding the above comments, please contact me at (765) 741-
7112.

Jayne E. Browning

PROJECT NOTES
Summary
• This is a permit renewal for a glass container manufacturer which discharges furnace drain
water. City water is used to cool molten glass. The water contacts the glass, but does not
contact oils or other substances at the plant. This one -pass quench water is then held in a
500,000 gal above ground storage tank for temp control. Discharge is intermittent,
occuring only when the furnace tank is drained. There was one discharge event reported
over the past two calendar years (98-99). Discharge is at a constant flow rate over several
days, with total discharge approx. 0.3-0.5 MGD.
• Facility discharges to an UT to Martin Creek>Sandy Creek>Swift Creek. The receiving
stream is not 303(d) listed in the Draft 2000 Listing, nor are there specific management
strategies for this stream in the Draft 1999 Basin Plan. At the last permit renewal, request
for permit denial were sent by USFWS, WRC, et al due to Federally endangered species in
Sandy Creek, and the outstanding biological diversity of Swift Creek.
Permitting Strategy
• Facility is regulated by Effluent Guidelines [40 CFR 426, Subpart H- Glass Container
Manufacturing] for O&G, TSS, and pH. Limits for O&G/TSS are production -based.
Original limits were based on production of 260 tons/day with one furnace in operation.
Facility has added a second furnace, and average production is now 414 tons/day, while
peak production is 526 tons/day. Since facility has had no problem meeting original limits,
maintain same limits based on original production numbers; however, shift Weekly Avg
Limit to a Daily Max Limit which is consistent with Effluent Guidelines. This more
stringent approach is justified based on downstream concerns.
• Although an NSW water, nutrient limits are not warranted for this non -nutrient industrial
wastewater.
DMR Data.
• There was one discharge event over the past 24 months (98-99). Discharge from the
holding tank was released at 0.01 MGD over 30 days (April 1999). DMR data shows no
compliance problems with limited parameters. Using detection limit concentrations, the
max daily TSS loading was 0.33 lbs/d (versus limit of 72.8 1bs/day) and the max daily O&G
loading was 0.42 lbs/day (versus limit of 31.2 lbs/day). Facility also performed sampling at
several downstream stations during this release, and sample data shows no downstream
impact. Between 95-99, facility has passed acute tox test (> 1 OOOA) all four times that
discharge occurred.
WLA Data.
• Last WLA was 1993.
RRO Re on Data.
• Staff' Report from 1993 states that Henderson PO'fW will not accept this WW anymore due
to the large volume. Facility performed an EAA in 1993.

***The discharge shall not cause the turbidity of the receiving water to exceed 50 NTU. If the turbidity exceeds these levels as a result of the natural
background conditions, the discharge level cannot cause any increase in the turbidity in the receiving water.
****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 32.0°C.
***** Acute Toxicity Test (Episodic using Fathead Minnows); See Part III Condition E.
The pH shall not be less than 6.0 standard units nor greater than 9.0 standard units and shall be monitored upon discharge by grab sample at the effluent.
There shall be no discharge of floating solids or visible foam in other than trace amounts.

RE: Renewal of NPDES Permit NCO083038
Ball -Foster Glass Container Co., L.L.C.
620 Facet Road
Henderson, Vance County
Dear Mr. Weaver:
Ball -Foster Glass Container Co., L.L.C. requests renewal of NPDES permit
number NCO083038 for the discharge of furnace drain water. There have been
no facility changes since the last permit was issued on June 30, 1995. Enclosed
is the renewal package checklist and application form. One original and two
copies are enclosed as requested.
Description of Discharge
Ball -Foster operates two glass -melting furnaces at this location for the
manufacture of glass containers. Whenever the molten glass is drained from a
furnace, clean city water is used to cool the molten glass, cool 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 substances added. The quench water is held in
a 500,000 gallon storage tank for temperature control then is discharged to the
receiving stream at a constant flow rate over a period of several days.
Approximately 300,000 to 500,000 gallons of quench water is used during a
drain.

Application Item 7 — Explanation of Intermittent Discharge
This discharge only occurs when a furnace is drained. Primary reasons for a
furnace drain are a scheduled or emergency furnace repair. Repairs are
typically scheduled about every seven years.
Sludge Management Plan
A sludge management plan is not applicable to this wastewater treatment since
no sludge or any solids are generated. The water is used only for cooling and
the treatment is temporary storage for temperature control.
Production Data
The checklist requires three years production data for facilities that discharge
process water. By definition, this cooling water is process water since it comes
into contact with the molten glass. Glass production data is summarized below.
