Muncie, IN 47307-4200 November 23, 1992 Mr. Don Safrit Supervisor Permits and Engineering Division of Environmental Management P.O. Box 29535 Raleigh, NC 27626 Re: Permit #WQ 0000 221 Ball-InCon Glass Packaging Corp. :>> Vance County Dear Mr. Safrit: Ball-InCon Glass Packaging Corp. owns and operates a glass container manufacturing facility located at U.S. Highway #1 Bypass in Henderson, NC. This plant is presently operating under a Recycle System Permit #WQ 000 221 which does not permit discharge of wastewater to surface water. Ball-InCon would like to amend,this permit to allow us to discharge Process Water to nearby Martin Creek during glass furnace drains. Attached is a completed Application For Permit to Discharge - Short Form C. Ball-InCon would like to provide a more detailed explanation of the information provided on this form. Item #9 requests information on the frequency of this discharge. The discharge that we are requesting to permit occurs only when the glass in the glass furnace is being drained or removed. During these furnace drains, a large amount of water is needed to cool the molten glass as it exits or is being drained from the furnace. The furnace is drained on a very intermittent basis and only for the following reasons and frequencies: 1) Furnace Rebuilds - The glass must be drained from the furnace prior to the furnace being torn down and rebuilt. On an industry average, this occurs approximately every seven (7) years. wwn va.. A subsidiary of Ball Corporation November 23, 1992 Page 2 2) Emergency Repairs - A hole may develop in the furnace or needed repairs may require a total or partial drain of the glass in the furnace. This is NOT a regular maintenance item and only occurs in an emergency situation. 3) Color Change - Customer demands may require that we produce both green glass and flint or clear glass at this plant. Since this plant presently operates one furnace, when a different color glass is needed, the glass color of all the glass in the furnace must be changed. When going from flint to green, a furnace drain is not usually required because the glass can be darkened to green by adding green cullet (i.e. recycled glass) and altering the raw material batch mix. However, when changing the color of the glass in the furnace from green to flint, the entire contents of the green glass in the furnace must be drained and replaced with flint cullet, as well as changing the raw material mix. When this color change occurs, in an attempt to remove all of the green glass from the furnace, it is actually drained once, partially refilled with cullet, and then drained again. This is all done within a two (2) day time frame. We anticipate having to change the color in the furnace from 0-3 times per year. This should help to clarify our response to Item #9 which is an intermittent discharge to occur only during furnace drains which may occur from zero to three times a year for 1 or 2 days intervals. Item #10 requests information on the type of wastewater to be discharged. Large amounts of water are used during a furnace drain to help cool the molten glass as it exits the furnace. The operating temperature of the glass in the furnace is approximately 28000 F. Chutes are set-up for the glass to drain from the furnace. Water is used to cool and "lubricate" the chutes and quench the glass as it exits the furnace. The cooling effects of the water also breaks up the glass and keeps it from forming one solid glass block. Since the water does come in contact with the molten glass, it must be considered by definition "process water", with quenching being its primary purpose. This water and the glass during a furnace drain does not come in contact with oils or any other substances at the plant. ,J�;.. November 23, 1992 Page 3 Analytical results to sampling that was conducted during a recent furnace drain that was discharged to the treatment works at the City of Henderson are attached for your review. We performed a grab sample after 2 hours into the first furnace drain and had this analyzed for Oil and Grease, Biochemical Oxygen Demand, and Total Suspended Solids. We also took an hourly temperature and pH reading during both of the furnace drains. We also monitored a total flow for both of these furnace drains. This information is also attached. The "process water, daily average" number in column (5) is an average of both flows, while the "Maximum per operating day for total discharge" in column (5) is the flow of the first furnace drain. The temperature reading for these furnace drains were taken at a sump near the furnace building prior to this material being pumped into a manhole for discharge to the city. However, the flow of this wastewater to Martin Creek would actually follow a very different route. The attached map shows the route the furnace drain wastewater would take to reach Martin Creek. Significant cooling of this wastewater would occur in the small holding pond and in the 2500 feet of drainage ditch and branch leading to Martins Creek. It is unknown what the actual temperature of this water would be by the time it were to reach Martin Creek. It should also be noted that the City of Henderson requested that we not discharge this waste water to them again. Typically, these furnace drains are done over a weekend and with such a large volume of water, we could overflow their plant. They also see no reason why we should have to treat this one pass cooling water. We have enclosed a significant amount of information on this permit change application.

The facility is seeking a permit to discharge large amounts of contact cooling water during 1) furnace rebuilds 2) emergency repairs 3) color change (when changing from green to clear glass). These events are expected to occur 0-3 times per year at 1 to 2 day intervals. The City of Henderson will not take this water. Since this is considered "process" water, effluent guidelines 426.82 BPT are applicable. High temperature from this discharge will be a problem, so the standard temperature language for cooling water discharges will be recommended. TSB recommends that a clause be placed in the permit stating that the facility must make efforts to release the flow slowly in order to decrease the chance for excessive channelization of Martins Creek due to the high velocity of the discharge slug. P&E should review staff report comments. Although this is a new permit to NSW class stream, TP and TN will not be limited - not expected to be in the discharge.

The monitoring shall be performed as a Fathead Minnow (Pimephales promelas) 24 hour static test, using effluent collected as a single grab sample. Effluent samples for self -monitoring purposes must be obtained below all waste treatment. Sampling and subsequent testing will occur during the first five discrete discharge events after the effective date of this permit. After monitoring of the first five toxicity tests, the permittee will conduct one test annually, with the annual period beginning in January of the next calendar year. 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.

Ball-InCon would also like to enclose additional information for your review. Since our original submittal, the plant's glass furnace has been drained and the cullet quench water was again discharged to the City of Henderson. Equipment problems at the pump station for the City and rainfall in the area nearly caused us to delay the draining of the furnace. These problems are discussed in the attached "Evaluation of Wastewater Disposal Alternatives". With this latest furnace drain, we were able to more accurately determine our flow. Taking into account the quench water used in the initial furnace drain and the followup flush and drain, we have estimated a total quench water usage of 600,000 gallons in a 24 hour period. However, during this furnace drain, we did alter our furnace drain procedure by using a 500,000 cmu Ra as A subsidiary of Ball Corporation March 9, 193 Page 2 gallon aboveground storage tank at the plant. The cullet quench water was first pumped into this aboveground tank and was then metered into the city sewer system. This allowed us to both better determine our flow and it gave the cullet quench water some time to cool down prior to discharge. Also, attached is information on the flow, temperature and pH readings of the water during the last furnace drain. We are proposing to discharge to Martin Creek by using this same method. We feel in this way we can better control our flow to the creek and we can reduce the temperature of some of the quench water prior to discharge. It should be noted that we estimate our furnace drain quench water discharge at 600,000 gallons, while the aboveground tank will hold only 500,000 gallons. This means that approximately 100,000 gallons will definitely need to be discharged over a 24 hour period with minimal residence time for cooling. Upon review of our previously submitted Short Form C submittal letter, application and attachments; and, review of this submittal letter, alternatives analysis and other attachments, if you have any questions, please call me at 317/741-71 17.

Corporation operates a glass bottle manufacturing facility in Henderson, North Carolina. Periodically, the Facility changes the color of the glass in the furnace, and water is used to cool the glass when it drains from the furnace. This operation results in a discharge of approximately 600,000 gallons of furnace drain quench water over a 24-hour period. Ball InCon has submitted an application for a NPDES permit (NPDES Permit No. NC0083038) to discharge the 600,000 gallons per day to a tributary of Martin Creek. The location of the Facility is shown on Figure 1 which was prepared from the U.S. Geological Survey Henderson Quadrangle. A site map of the Ball-InCon Facility is provided in Figure 2. This report describes and evaluates three disposal alternatives to discharge to surface waters via a NPDES permit. The alternatives consist of: Connection to Sewerage System, Subsurface Disposal System, and Spray Irrigation System. 1.2 REFERENCES 1. Soil Survey of Vance County.

Wiley- Interscience, 2 ed.91972. 2.0 EVALUATION OF THE FEASIBILITY OF DISCHARGE ALTERNATIVES This section evaluates the environmental feasibility of the three non -discharge alternatives to NPDES discharge. Information contained in this report concerning the origin and nature of the wastewater discharge and the description of the Ball-InCon Henderson Facility was provided to Rust Environment & Infrastructure by Ball-InCon Glass Packaging Corporation for the preparation of this report. The alternatives evaluated in this report consist of Connection to Sewerage System, Subsurface Disposal System, and Spray Irrigation System 2.1 CONNECTION TO SEWERAGE SYSTEM The Henderson Facility currently discharges its sanitary wastewater stream to the City of Henderson sewer system through a sewer line located on the Facility. The City has expressed a willingness to also accept the furnace drain quench water but the flow rate is restricted to approximately 20 gallons per minute (gpm) and the City does not wish to take the water during a storm event when storm water evidently enters the sewer system. The Facility has available a 500,000 gallon above ground storage tank which could be used ... 1RB ILBOURDESALTAM during the furnace drain. Utilization of the tank as temporary storage would still require the discharge of 100,000 gallons during a 24-hour period. Due to the two discharge restrictions of flow rate and uncertain availability imposed by the sewer authority, the alternative of discharge to the sewer system cannot always be available to support the Facility operational requirements. Furnace drains are firmly scheduled weeks to months in advance and are critical to facility operation. Delays in draining glass from a furnace can result in financial loss of over $100,000/day in lost sales. For these reasons, Ball-InCon must have a more reliable means of discharge for its furnace drain quench water and has applied for an NPDES permit for that discharge. 2.2 SUBSURFACE DISPOSAL SYSTEM The Soil Survey of Vance County' for the location of the Ball-InCon Facility identifies the soils as Appling Sandy Loam. The Survey provides an evaluation of the degree and the kind of soil limitations that affect septic tank absorption fields. For Appling soils the evaluation for use as absorption field is listed in the Survey as "moderate" which indicates that the soil properties or site features are not favorable for the that use and special planning, design, or maintenance is needed to overcome or minimize the limitations. The Survey also provides general physical and chemical properties of soils. For Appling soils, the Survey indicates the permeability of the soil to ranges from 0.6 to 2.0 inches per hour at a soil depth of 10 to 35 inches. Using the upper end of the permeability range of 2 inch per hour, or 1 inch in 30 minutes, results in a recommended application rate of 0.9 gallon per day per square feet. If the required volume of water to be discharged to the system is 100,000 gpd, the resultant application area is 1009000 gpd / 0.9gpd/ftZ = 111,111 ft If the trench for the system are 3 feet wide and the spacing between trench is 9 feet, the require application area is 1119111 ft / 3 ff = 37,037 linear feet of trench Assuming that the length of each trench is 500 feet results in 74 trenches. If the center to center spacing between trenches is 12 feet, the resultant area of the drain field is 500 ft x 12 ft x 73 = 438,000 ftz At 43,560 fe per acre, the required area is approximately 10 acres. As shown in Figure 2, two-thirds of the approximately 60 acre Facility are under roof or paved. Over half the remaining area is wooded, marshy or otherwise unsuitable. The northwest corner may appear suitable, but applying the required 50 foot property line buffer requirement to that section of the property results in a total area of approximately 8 acres which is less than the 10 acres required. The application rate of 0.9 gpd/ft used in the ...1 M11.B01 MESALT.002 above calculations was based upon the high end of the permeability range given for the Appling soils. Using a mid -point permeability of 1 inch per hour results in a recommended application rate of 0.6 gpd/ft. That application rate would result in a application area of 10 acres x 0.9/0.6 = 15 acres It is clear from the above analysis that subsurface disposal system is not a feasible alternative for disposal of the furnace drain quench water at the Ball-InCon Facility. The Ball-InCon Facility is bounded on the north and south by other industrial facilities and on the east by US Route 1 and its adjacent service road. Industrial plants also are located west of the Facility. Due to the uses of the adjoining properties, acquisition of adjoining property for use as a disposal system may not be feasible. 2.3 SPRAY IRRIGATION SYSTEM Spray irrigation shares the same limitation as a subsurface disposal system. The low recommended application rate results in extensive land area being devoted to the disposal of the furnace drain quench water. Permit conditions for spray irrigation system require a 100 foot property line buffer area between the property line and the spray irrigation system. This buffer requirement further reduces the area available for spray irrigation and renders the alternative unfeasible. Permit conditions for spray irrigation systems also require 30 day storage capacity. This requirement is designed to provide storage of the wastewater during conditions where the ground is frozen on the application site. The limitation of discharge places an operating constraint on the Ball-InCon Facility which also could render the alternative as not being feasible. 3.0 NPDES DISCHARGE The conclusion of the above evaluation is that none of the three discharge alternatives are environmentally feasible considering the volume of the flow and the operational constraints present during a furnace drain. Ball-InCon has applied for a NPDES permit to discharge its furnace drain quench water to a tributary of Martin Creek. The tributary borders the Facility on the south side and the plant presently discharges storm water to this tributary and it is intended to discharge the furnace drain quench water through the same existing system. To BallInCon's knowledge, the tributary stream has not been gauged, and 7Q10 30Q2 flow information is not available at this time. BallIncon has available a 500,000 gallon above ground storage tank which could be used to temporarily store the furnace drain quench water, and permit discharge to the tributary at a lower rate after the initial discharge of 100,000 gallons in 24 hours. ...UM i.BOTME8ALTAM off 0 IT seem VA ce • �_wek�ONOt� • • • ••• • • - \J « p• 1 • • y 1 • ". \ •�, C- .` _ • • • • / • •• • 40 • / _ a- IN -'ram e. . • • e END row Goo :J - a • - _ ti 1101 ., ... •• , . ... • • . _ J _ ••� •- • •� • r� �' �� Net • •{ 16 lis if A� `" • � �,� •4t�.,�Y� .1./• t �` a .•: • , • �r r• _ • is.sm • �. •• i•r • • rya • '� �.
