FORM 2C—INSTRUCTIONS General Instructions Who Must Complete Form 2C? You must complete Form 2C if you answered "Yes" to Item 1.2.2 on Form 1—that is, if you are an existing manufacturing, commercial, mining, or silvicultural facility that currently discharges process wastewater. Where to File Your Completed Form Submit your completed application package (Forms 1 and 2C) to your National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permitting authority. Consult Exhibit 1-1 of Form 1's "General Instructions" to identify your NPDES permitting authority. Public Availability of Submitted Information The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) will make information from NPDES permit application forms available to the public for inspection and copying upon request. You may not claim any information on Form 2C (or related attachments) as confidential. You may make a claim of confidentiality for any information that you submit to EPA that goes beyond the information required by Form 2C. Note that NPDES authorities will deny claims for treating any effluent data as confidential. If you do not assert a claim of confidentiality at the time you submit your information to the NPDES permitting authority, EPA may make the information available to the public without further notice to you. EPA will handle claims of confidentiality in accordance with the Agency's business confidentiality regulations at Part 2 of Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). Completion of Forms Print or type in the specified areas only. If you do not have enough space on the form to answer a question, you may continue on additional sheets, as necessary, using a format consistent with the form. Provide your EPA Identification Number from the Federal Registry Service, NPDES permit number, and facility name at the top of each page of Form 2C and any attachments. If you do not know your EPA Identification Number, contact your NPDES permitting authority. See Exhibit 1-1 of Form 1's "General Instructions" for contact information. Additionally, for Tables A through E, provide the applicable outfall number at the top of each page. Do not leave any response areas blank unless the form directs you to skip them. If the form directs you to respond to an item that does not apply to your facility or activity, enter "NA" for "not applicable" to show that you considered the item and determined a response was not necessary for your facility. The NPDES permitting authority will consider your application complete when it and any supplementary material are received and completed according to the authority's satisfaction. The NPDES permitting authority will judge the completeness of any application independently of the status of any other permit application or permit for the same facility or activity. Definitions The legal definitions of all key terms used in these instructions and Form 2C are in the "Glossary" at the end of the "General Instructions" in Form 1. Line -by -Line Instructions Section 1.Outfall Location Item 1.1. Identify each of the facility's outfall structures by number. For each outfall, specify the latitude and longitude to the nearest 15 seconds and name of the receiving water. The application form provides reporting space for three outfalls. If your facility has more than this number, attach additional sheets as necessary. The location of each outfall (i.e., where the coordinates are collected) shall be the point where the discharge is released into a water of the United States. Latitude and longitude coordinates may be obtained in a variety of ways, including use of hand held devices (e.g., a GPS enabled smartphone), internet mapping tools (e.g., https://mynasadata.larc.nasa.gov/latitudelongitude-finder/), geographic information systems (e.g., ArcView), or paper maps from trusted sources (e.g., U.S. Geological Survey or USGS).For further guidance, refer to http://www.epa.gov/qeospatial/latitudelongitude-data-standard. Section 2. Line Drawing Item 2.1. Attach a line drawing showing water flow through your facility, from intake to discharge. Indicate the sources of intake water (e.g., city, well, stream, other); operations contributing wastewater to the effluent including process and production areas, sanitary flows, cooling water, and stormwater runoff; and treatment units labeled to correspond to the more detailed descriptions under Section 3. You may group similar operations into a single unit. Construct a water balance on the line drawing by showing average flows (specify units) between intakes, operations, treatment units, and outfalls. Show all significant losses of water to products, the atmosphere, and discharge. You should use actual measurements wherever available; otherwise use your best estimate. If you cannot determine a water balance for your activities (such as mining activities), provide a pictorial description of the nature and amount of any sources of water and any collection and treatment measures. An example of an acceptable line drawing is provided in Exhibit 2C-1 at the end of these instructions. Section 3. Average Flows and Treatment Item 3.1. For each outfall identified under Item 1.1, provide the following information: (1) all processes, operations, or production areas that contribute wastewater to the effluent for the outfall, including process wastewater, sanitary wastewater, cooling water, and stormwater runoff; (2) average flow of wastewater contributed by each operation in million gallons per day (mgd); (3) a description of the treatment unit (including size of each treatment unit, flow rate through each treatment unit, retention time, etc.); (4) the applicable treatment code(s) from Exhibit 2C-2 (see end of instructions); and (5) the ultimate disposal of any solid or fluid wastes that are not discharged to the receiving water. You may describe processes, operations, or production areas in general terms (e.g., "dye -making reactor" or "distillation tower"). You may estimate the average flow of point sources composed of stormwater; however, you must 2C-1 FORM 2C—INSTRUCTIONS CONTINUED indicate the basis of the rainfall event and the method of estimation. Add additional sheets as necessary. Item 3.2. Answer whether you are applying for an NPDES permit to operate a privately owned treatment works. If yes, continue to Item 3.3. If no, skip to Section 4. Item 3.3. Attach a list to your application that includes the identity of each user of the treatment works, then answer "Yes" to Item 3.3. Section 4. Intermittent Flows Item 4.1. Answer "Yes" or "No" to indicate whether any of the discharges you described in Sections 1 and 3 of Form 2C are intermittent or seasonal, except for stormwater runoff, spillage, or leaks. An intermittent discharge is one that is not continuous. A continuous discharge is one that occurs without interruption during the operating hours of the facility, except for infrequent shutdowns for maintenance, process changes, or other similar activities. A discharge is seasonal if it occurs only during certain parts of the year. If yes, continue to Item 4.2. If no, skip to Section 5. Item 4.2. By relevant outfall number, identify each operation that has intermittent or seasonal discharges. Indicate the average frequency (days per week and months per year), the long-term average and maximum daily flow rates in mgd, and the duration of the intermittent or seasonal discharges. Base your answers on actual data if available. Otherwise, provide your best estimate. Report the average of all daily values measured during days when the discharge occurred for "Long -Term Average," and report the highest daily value for "Maximum Daily." Section 5. Production Item 5.1. Indicate whether any effluent limitation guidelines (ELGs) promulgated under Section 304 of the Clean Water Act (CWA) apply to your facility. If yes, continue to Item 5.2. If no, skip to Section 6. All ELGs promulgated by EPA appear in the Federal Register and are published annually in 40 CFR Subchapter N. An ELG applies if you have any operations contributing process wastewater in any subcategory covered by a Best Practicable Control Technology Currently Available (BPT), Best Conventional Pollutant Control Technology (BCT), or Best Available Technology Economically Achievable (BAT) guideline. If you are unsure whether you are covered by a promulgated ELG, consult your NPDES permitting authority (see Exhibit 1-1 of the "General Instructions" of Form 1). You must check "Yes" if an applicable ELG has been promulgated, even if the ELG is being contested in court. If you believe that a promulgated ELG has been remanded for reconsideration by a court and does not apply to your operations, you may answer "No" to Item 5.1 and skip to Section 6. Item 5.2. Complete Item 5.2 by indicating the applicable ELG category, ELG subcategory, and corresponding regulatory citation See the example below. CD UJ 5.2 ELG Category ELG RegulatorySubcategory Citation Pulp, Paper, Secondary Fiber 40 CFR 430, R and Non-Deink Subpart J Paperboard Subcategory aPoint Source Category Item 5.3. Indicate if the limitations in the applicable ELGs are expressed in terms of production or other measure of operation. For operational parameter, it is expressed in terms of production (e.g., "pounds of biological oxygen demand per cubic foot of logs from which bark is removed," or "pounds of total suspended solids per megawatt hour of electrical energy consumed by smelting furnace"). An example of an ELG not expressed in terms of a measure of operation is one that limits the concentration of pollutants. If yes, continue to Item 5.4. If no, skip to Section 6. Item 5.4. Indicate the operations, products, or materials produced at the facility for each outfall. For each operation, product, or material produced, denote the quantity produced per day using the measurement units specified in the applicable ELG. The NPDES permitting authority will use the production information to apply ELGs to your facility. You may not claim that the production information you submit is confidential. You do not need to indicate how you calculated the reported information. The production figures provided must be based on a reasonable measure of actual daily production, not on design capacity or on predictions of future operations. To obtain alternate limits under 40 CFR 122.45(b)(2)(ii), you must define your maximum production capability and demonstrate to the NPDES permitting authority that your actual production is substantially below maximum production capability and that there is a reasonable potential for an increase above actual production during the duration of the permit. Section 6. Improvements Item 6.1. Indicate if you are required by any federal, state, or local authority to meet an implementation schedule for constructing, upgrading, or operating wastewater treatment equipment or practices or any other environmental programs that could affect the discharges described in your application. The requirements include, but are not limited to, permit conditions, administrative enforcement orders, enforcement compliance schedule letters, stipulations, court orders, and grant or loan conditions. If yes, continue to Item 6.2. If no, skip to Item 6.3. Item 6.2. Briefly identify and describe each applicable project (e.g., consent decree, enforcement order, or permit condition). For each condition, specify the affected outfall number(s), the source(s) of the discharge, the projected final compliance date, and the required final compliance date. Item 6.3.OPTIONAL ITEM. If desired, attach descriptions of any additional water pollution control programs (or other environmental projects that could affect your discharges) that are now underway or planned. Indicate in your attachments whether each program is actually underway or is planned, and indicate your actual or planned schedule for construction. Section 7. Effluent and Intake Characteristics Items 7.1 to 7.17. These items require you to collect and report data for the parameters and pollutants listed in Tables A through E, located at the end of Form 2C. The instructions for completing the tables are table -specific in addition to the criteria for determining who should complete them. In general, the following conditions apply: 2C-2 FORM 2C—INSTRUCTIONS CONTINUED Table Pollutants/Parameters Who Completes? A Conventional and non- All applicants from all outfalls unless a conventional pollutants waiver is obtained from the NPDES permitting authority. B Toxic metals, cyanide, total Applicants in the primary industry phenols, and organic toxic categories listed in Exhibit 2C-3 at the pollutants end of these instructions. C Certain conventional and Applicants subject to ELGs that limit non -conventional pollutants pollutants directly or indirectly and applicants who believe pollutants may be present in their facility's discharge. D Certain hazardous Applicants who believe pollutants may substances and asbestos be present in their facility's discharge. E 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo- Applicants that use or manufacture the p-dioxin (2,3,7,8-TCDD) pollutant or believe the pollutant may be present in the facility's discharge. Important note: Read the "General Instructions for Reporting, Sampling, and Analysis" on pages 2C-5 and 2C-6 before completing Section 7 and Tables A through E. Item 7.1 and Table A. All applicants must report at least one analysis for each conventional and non -conventional pollutant listed in Table A for each outfall (one table per outfall). This includes outfalls discharging only noncontact cooling water or stormwater runoff. However, at your request, the NPDES permitting authority may waive the requirement to test for one or more of the listed pollutants for specific outfalls, upon a determination that available information is adequate to support issuance of your NPDES permit with less stringent reporting requirements. You may also request a waiver from your NPDES permitting authority for one or more of the Table A pollutants for your industry category or subcategory. Indicate whether you are requesting a waiver in response to Item 7.1. If yes, continue to Item 7.2. If no, skip to Item 7.3. Item 7.2. Specify the outfalls for which you are requesting a waiver. Next, indicate on Table A for the applicable outfalls the pollutants for which the waiver is being requested. Attach your waiver request and supporting information to your completed Form 2C. Item 7.3. Test your effluent from each outfall for each pollutant listed in Table A for which you have not requested a waiver. You may also conduct optional tests of your intake water for the Table A pollutants. See the "General Instructions for Reporting, Sampling, and Analysis" on pages 2C-5 and 2C-6 for further information. Item 7.4 and Table B. This item asks whether any of the facility's processes that contribute wastewater fall into one or more of the primary industry categories listed in Exhibit 2C-3. If you are applying for a permit for a privately owned treatment works, determine your testing requirements based on the industrial categories of your contributors. This exercise is simply to determine your testing requirements only. You are not giving up your right to challenge your inclusion in the category determined for testing (e.g., for deciding whether an ELG is applicable) before your permit is issued. If yes, continue to Item 7.5. If no, skip to Item 7.8. Complete a separate Table B for each outfall. Section 1 of Table B lists toxic metals, cyanide, and total phenols. Sections 2 through 5 of Table B list the pollutants in each of the gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) fractions. Note that inclusion of total phenols in Section 1 of Table B does not mean that EPA is classifying the group as toxic pollutants. Item 7.5. Because you indicated in Item 7.4 that the facility's processes contribute wastewater that falls into one or more of the primary industry categories, check "Testing Required" for all toxic metals, cyanide, and total phenols in Section 1 of Table B. Answer "Yes" to Item 7.5 once you have completed this task. Item 7.6. Because you indicated in Item 7.4 that the facility's processes contribute wastewater that falls into one or more of the primary industry categories, list the primary industry categories applicable to your facility. Next, review Exhibit 2C-3 to determine whether testing is required and for which GC/MS fraction(s): volatile compounds, acid compounds, base/neutral compounds, and pesticides. Check the applicable boxes for each GC/MS fraction requiring testing. Item 7.7. For each of the required GC/MS fractions, check "Testing Required" for each of the pollutants in the required fraction in Sections 2 through 5 of Table B. Answer "Yes" to Item 7.7 once you have completed this task. Item 7.8 and Sections 1 through 5 of Table B. For all other cases (secondary industries, nonprocess wastewater outfalls, and nonrequired GC/MS fractions) and remaining pollutants, check "Believed Present" or "Believed Absent" in Sections 1 through 5 of Table B to indicate whether you have reason to believe that any of the pollutants listed are discharged from your outfalls. Answer "Yes" to Item 7.8 after you have completed this step. Item 7.9 and Section 1 of Table B. For each pollutant you know or have reason to believe is present in your discharge from each applicable outfall in concentrations of 10 parts per billion (ppb) or greater, you must report quantitative data. For every pollutant expected to be discharged in concentrations less than 10 ppb, you must submit quantitative data or briefly describe the reasons the pollutant is expected to be discharged. For pollutants in intake water, see the discussion under "General Instructions for Reporting, Sampling, and Analysis" below. Answer "Yes" to Item 7.9 once you have completed Section 1 of Table B. Item 7.10. This item asks if you qualify as a "small business." If so, you are exempt from submitting quantitative data for the organic toxic pollutants on Table B (Sections 2 through 5). You still must indicate, though, whether you believe any of the pollutants listed in Sections 1 through 5 are present in your discharge per the Instructions at Item 7.8 above. You can qualify as a small business in two ways: (1) If your facility is a coal mine and if your probable total annual production is less than 100,000 tons per year, you may submit past production data or estimated future production (such as a schedule of estimated total production under 30 CFR 795.14(c)) instead of conducting analyses for the organic toxic pollutants. (2) If your facility is not a coal mine and if your gross total annual sales for the most recent three years average less than $100,000 per year (in second quarter 1980 dollars), you may submit sales data for those years instead of conducting analyses for the organic toxic pollutants. The production or sales data must be for the facility that is the source of the discharge. The data should not be limited to production or sales for the process or processes that contribute to the discharge, unless those are the only processes at your facility. 2C-3 FORM 2C—INSTRUCTIONS CONTINUED For sales data, in situations involving intra-corporate transfer of goods and services, the transfer price per unit should approximate market prices for those goods and services as closely as possible. Sales figures for years after 1980 should be indexed to the second quarter of 1980 by using the gross national product price deflator (second quarter of 1980 =100). This index is available online from the U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of Economic Analysis at http:llbea.gov/national/pdf/SNTables.pdf. If you qualify as a small business according to the criteria above, answer "Yes" to Item 7.10. Check the box at the top of Table B to show that you are not required to submit quantitative data for the organic toxic pollutants (Sections 2 through 5 of Table B), then skip to Item 7.12. Otherwise, answer "No" and continue to Item 7.11. Item 7.11 and Sections 2 through 5 of Table B. Unless you qualify as a small business (see Item 7.10), you must provide quantitative data for all pollutants for which you marked "Testing Required" in Sections 2 through 5 of Table B. You must also provide quantitative data for all pollutants you marked as 'Believed Present' in Sections 2 through 5 of Table B if you discharge those pollutants in concentrations of 10 ppb or greater, except for acrolein, acrylonitrile, 2,4-dinitrophenol, and 2-methyl-4,6- dinitrophenol. If you discharge any of the four latter pollutants in concentrations of 100 ppb or greater, you must report quantitative data. If you discharge the pollutants in Sections 2 through 5 of Table B less than these thresholds (i.e., <100 ppb for acrolein, acrylonitrile, 2,4-dinitrophenol, and 2-methyl -4,6-dinitrophenol and <10 ppb for all others), you must submit quantitative data or briefly describe the reasons the pollutant is in your discharge. For pollutants in intake water, see the discussion under "General Instructions for Reporting, Sampling, and Analysis" on pages 2C-5 and 2C-6 for further information. Once you have completed these tasks, answer "Yes" to Item 7.11. Item 7.12 and Table C. For each outfall (including outfalls containing only noncontact cooling water or stormwater runoff), indicate whether you know or have reason to believe that any of the pollutants listed on Table C are present in your discharge. If so, mark the box in the "Believed Present' column for each applicable pollutant. If not, mark the box in the `Believed Absent' column for each applicable pollutant. Answer "Yes" to Item 7.12 once you have completed the required task for each outfall. Item 7.13 and Table C. You are required to report quantitative data for any Table C pollutants that are directly limited in an applicable ELG or are indirectly limited in an applicable ELG through an expressed limitation on an indicator (e.g., use of total suspended solids (TSS) as an indicator to control the discharge of iron and aluminum). For all other pollutants that you marked as "Believed Present," you must either report quantitative data or briefly describe the reasons the pollutant is expected to be discharged. For pollutants in intake water, see the discussion under "General Instructions for Reporting, Sampling, and Analysis" on pages 2C-5 and 2C-6 for further information. Answer "Yes" to Item 7.13 when you have fully completed the tasks associated with Table C and Items 7.12 and 7.13 above. Item 7.14 and Table D. For each outfall, indicate if you believe that any pollutant listed in Table D is "Believed Present' or "Believed Absent' in your facility's effluent. Check the boxes in the applicable columns on Table D next to each pollutant. For every pollutant believed present, you must briefly describe the reasons the pollutant is expected to be discharged and report any quantitative data you have for that pollutant. Note that you are not required to perform analytical tests for any of the Table D pollutants at this time. However, if you have prior test results, you must report them. Item 7.15. Answer "Yes" to this Item when you have completed Table D. Under 40 CFR 117.12(a)(2), certain discharges of hazardous substances (listed in Exhibit 2C-4 at the end of these instructions) may be exempted from the requirements of Section 311 of the CWA, which establishes reporting requirements, civil penalties, and liability for cleanup costs for spills of oil and hazardous substances. A discharge of a particular substance can be exempted if the origin, source, and amount of the discharged substances are identified in the NPDES permit application or in the permit, if the permit contains a requirement for treatment of the discharge, and if the treatment is in place. Exemptions are allowed from the requirements of CWA Section 311. Applications for exemptions must set forth the following information: 1. The substance and the amount of each substance that may be discharged. The origin and source of the discharge of the substance. The treatment to be provided for the discharge by: a. An onsite treatment system separate from any treatment system treating your normal discharge; b. A treatment system designed to treat your normal discharge and that is additionally capable of treating the amount of the substance identified under paragraph 1 above; or c. Any combination of the above. See 40 CFR 117.12(a)(2) and (c) or contact your NPDES permitting authority for further information on exclusions from CWA Section 311. Item 7.16. Indicate whether: • Your facility uses or manufactures 2,4,5-trichlorophenoxy acetic acid (2,4,5-T); 2-(2,4,5-trichlorophenoxy) propanoic acid (Silvex, 2,4,5-TP); 2-(2,4,5-trichlorophenoxy) ethyl 2,2-dichloro- propionate (Erbon); 0,0-dimethyl 0-(2,4,5-trichlorophenyl) phosphorothioate (Ronnel); 2,4,5,-trichlorophenol (TCP); or hexachlorophene (HCP). • You know or have reason to believe that 2.3.7,8- tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) is or may be present in an effluent. If yes, continue to Item 7.17. If no, skip to Section 8. Item 7.17 and Table E. If you answered "Yes" to Item 7.16, you must report qualitative data, generated using a screening procedure not calibrated with analytical standards, for TCDD. Your screening analyses must be performed using gas chromatography with an electron capture detector. A TCDD standard for quantitation is not required. Describe the results of your screening analysis (e.g., "no measurable baseline deflection at the retention time of TCDD" or "a measurable peak within the tolerances of the retention time of TCDD.") on Table E. The NPDES permitting authority may require you to perform a quantitative analysis if you report a positive result. Answer "Yes" to Item 7.17 when you have completed Table E. 2C-4 General Instructions for Reporting, Sampling, and Analysis Important note: Read these instructions before completing Tables All reporting of values for metals must be in terms of "total A through E and Section 7 of Form 2C. recoverable metal," unless: General Items Complete the applicable tables for each outfall at your facility. Be sure to note the EPA Identification Number, NPDES permit number, facility name, and applicable outfall number at the top of each page of the tables and any associated attachments. You may report some or all of the required data by attaching separate sheets of paper instead of completing Tables A through E for each of your outfalls so long as the sheets contain all of the required information and are similar in format to Tables A through E. For example, you may be able to print a report in a compatible format from the data system used in your GC/MS analysis completed under Table B. Table A requires you to report at least one analysis for each pollutant listed. Tables B through D require you to report analytical data in two ways. For some pollutants, you may be required to check the box in the `Testing Required" column and test and report the levels of the pollutants in your discharge whether or not you expect them to be present in your discharge. For all other pollutants, you must check the box in either the "Believed Present' or "Believed Absent' columns based on your best estimate and test for those you believe to be present (with some exceptions). Base your determination that a pollutant is present in or absent from your discharge on your knowledge of your raw materials, maintenance chemicals, intermediate and final products and byproducts, and any previous analyses known to you of your effluent or similar effluent. For example, if you manufacture pesticides, you should expect those pesticides to be present in contaminated stormwater runoff. If you would expect a pollutant to be present solely because of its presence in your intake water, you must mark `Believed Present' but you are not required to analyze for that pollutant. Instead, mark an "X" in the long-term average value of the "Intake" column; optionally, you may instead provide intake data. Reporting of Effluent Data Report sampling results for all pollutants in Tables A through C as concentration and total mass, except for flow, temperature, pH, color, and fecal coliform organisms. If you are reporting quantitative data under Table D, report concentration only. Flow, temperature, pH, color, and fecal coliform organisms must be reported as mgd, degrees Celsius (°C), standard units, color units, and most probable number per 100 milliliters (MPN/100 mL), respectively. Use the following abbreviations in the columns requiring "units" in Tables A through D. Concentration Mass ppm = parts per million Ibs = pounds mg/L = milligrams per liter ton = tons (English tons) ppb = parts per billion mg = milligrams pg/L = micrograms per liter g = grams MPN = most probable number per kg = kilograms 100 milliliters T = tonnes (metric tons) • An applicable, promulgated ELG specifies the limitation for the metal in dissolved, valent, or total form; All approved analytical methods for the metal inherently measure only its dissolved form (e.g., hexavalent chromium); or • The permitting authority has determined that in establishing case -by -case limitations it is necessary to express the limitations of the metal in dissolved, valent, or total form to carry out the provisions of the CWA. Note that you are not required to complete the "Maximum Monthly Discharge" and the "Long -Term Average Daily Discharge" columns of Tables A through C; however, these fields should be completed if data are available. If you measure only one daily value, complete the "Maximum Daily Discharge" columns of the tables and enter 1" in the "Number of Analyses" columns. The NPDES permitting authority may require additional analyses to further characterize your discharges. For composite samples, the daily value is the total mass or average concentration found in a composite sample taken over the operating hours of the facility during a 24-hour period. For grab samples, the daily value is the arithmetic or flow -weighted total mass or average concentration found in a series of at least four grab samples taken over the operating hours of the facility during a 24-hour period. If you measure more than one daily value for a pollutant and those values are representative of your wastestream, you must report them. You must describe your method of testing and data analysis. When an applicant has two or more outfalls with substantially identical effluents, the NPDES permitting authority may allow the applicant to test only one outfall and report those quantitative data as applying to the substantially identical outfall. If the permitting authority grants your request, attach a separate sheet to the application form identifying the outfall tested and describing why the other outfall(s) are substantially identical. Reporting of Intake Data You are not required to report data under the "Intake" columns of Tables A through C unless you wish to demonstrate your eligibility for a "net' effluent limitation for one or more pollutants in Tables A through C (i.e., an effluent limitation adjusted by subtracting the average level of the pollutant(s) present in your intake water). NPDES regulations allow net limitations only in certain circumstances. To demonstrate your eligibility, under the "Intake" columns report the average of the results of analyses of your intake water and discuss the requirements for a net limitation with your NPDES permitting authority. If your water is treated before use, test the water after it has been treated. 2C-5 General Instructions for Reporting, Sampling, and Analysis Continued Sampling The collection of samples for the reported analyses should be supervised by a person experienced in performing sampling of industrial wastewater. You may contact your NPDES permitting authority for detailed guidance on sampling techniques and for answers to specific questions. See Exhibit 1-1 of Form 1 for contact information. Any specific requirements in the applicable analytical methods —for example, sample containers, sample preservation, holding times, and the collection of duplicate samples —must be followed. The time when you sample should be representative of your normal operation, to the extent feasible, with all processes that contribute wastewater in normal operation, and with your treatment system operating properly with no system upsets. Collect samples from the center of the flow channel, where turbulence is at a maximum, at a site specified in your present NPDES permit, or at any site adequate for the collection of a representative sample. Grab samples must be used for pH, temperature, cyanide, total phenols, residual chlorine, oil and grease, fecal coliform (including E. coh), and enterococci (previously known as fecal streptococcus at 40 CFR 122.26(d)(2)(iii)(A)(3)), and volatile organic compounds. For all other pollutants, a 24-hour composite sample, using a minimum of four grab samples, must be used unless specified otherwise at 40 CFR 136. However, a minimum of one grab sample may be taken for effluents from holding ponds or other impoundments with a retention period greater than 24 hours. For stormwater discharges, a minimum of one to four grab samples must be taken, depending on the duration of the discharge. One grab sample must be taken in the first hour (or less) of discharge, with one more grab sample (up to a minimum of four) taken in each succeeding hour of discharge for discharges lasting four hours or more. Except for stormwater discharges, the NPDES permitting authority may waive composite sampling requirements for any outfall for which you demonstrate that use of an automatic sampler is infeasible and that the minimum of four grab samples will be representative of your discharge. Results of analyses of individual grab samples for any parameter may be averaged to obtain the daily average. Grab samples that are not required to be analyzed immediately may be composited in the laboratory, if the container, preservation, and holding time requirements are met and if sample integrity is not compromised during compositing. See Table II at 40 CFR 136.3 for further information. A grab sample is an individual sample of at least 100 milliliters collected at a randomly chosen time over a period not exceeding 15 minutes. A composite sample is a combination of at least eight sample aliquots of at least 100 milliliters, collected at periodic intervals during the operating hours of a facility over a 24-hour period. The composite must be flow proportional; either the time interval between each aliquot or the volume of each aliquot must be proportional to either the stream flow at the time of sampling or the total stream flow since the collection of the previous aliquot. Aliquots may be collected manually or automatically. For "GC/MS Fraction —Volatile Compounds" in Table B, aliquots must be combined in the laboratory immediately before analysis. Four (rather than eight) aliquots or grab samples should be collected for this fraction. These four samples should be collected during actual hours of discharge over a 24-hour period and need not be flow proportioned. Only one analysis is required. Use of Historical Data Existing data may be used, if available, in lieu of sampling conducted solely for the purposes of this application, provided that: all data requirements are met; sampling was performed, collected, and analyzed no more than 4.5 years prior to submission; all data are representative of the discharge; and all available representative data are considered in the values reported. Analysis Except as specified below, all required quantitative data shall be collected in accordance with sufficiently sensitive analytical methods approved under 40 CFR 136 or required under 40 CFR chapter I, subchapter N or 0. A method is "sufficiently sensitive" when: • The method minimum level (ML) is at or below the level of the applicable water quality criterion for the measured pollutant or pollutant parameter. • The method ML is above the water quality criterion, but the amount of the pollutant or pollutant parameter in the facility's discharge is high enough that the method detects and quantifies the level of the pollutant or pollutant parameter in the discharge. • The method has the lowest ML of the analytical methods approved under 40 CFR 136 or required under 40 CFR chapter I, subchapter N or 0 for the measured pollutant or pollutant parameter. Consistent with 40 CFR 136, you may provide matrix- or sample - specific MLs rather than the published levels. Further, where you can demonstrate that, despite a good faith effort to use a method that would otherwise meet the definition of "sufficiently sensitive," the analytical results are not consistent with the quality assurance (QA)/quality control (QC) specifications for that method, then the NPDES permitting authority may determine that the method is not performing adequately and the NPDES permitting authority should select a different method from the remaining EPA -approved methods that is sufficiently sensitive consistent with 40 CFR 122.21(e)(3)(i). Where no other EPA -approved methods exist, you must select a method consistent with 40 CFR 122.21(e)(3)(ii). When there is no analytical method that has been approved under 40 CFR 136; required under 40 CFR chapter I, subchapter N or 0, and is not otherwise required by the NPDES permitting authority, you may use any suitable method but shall provide a description of the method. When selecting a suitable method, other factors such as a method's precision, accuracy, or resolution, may be considered when assessing the performance of the method. 2C-6 FORM 2C—INSTRUCTIONS CONTINUED Section 8. Used or Manufactured Toxics Item 8.1. Indicate if any pollutant listed in Table B is used or manufactured in your facility as an intermediate or final product or byproduct. If yes, continue to Item 8.2. If no, skip to Section 9. Item 8.2. List the applicable toxic pollutants.

Type of treatment plant: ® Conventional (Includes coagulation, flocculation, and sedimentation, usually followed by filtration and disinfection) ❑ Ion Exchange (Sodium Cycle Cationic ion exchange) ❑ Green Sand Filter (No sodium recharge) ❑ Membrane Technology (RO, nanofiltration) Check here if the treatment process also uses a water softener ❑ 6. Description of source water(s) (i.e. groundwater, surface water) Source water is channeled from our pond on Little Creek, which is in the sub -basin of the Broad River Basin, to our facility as described below. 7. Describe the treatment process(es) for the raw water: Source water from our pond is channeled to our Primary Basin (145,000 gallon capacity) to settle initial turbidity. Any sediment and solids built up in the Primary Basin is cleaned out up to twice per year by emptying and cleaning the basin. Primary Basin contents are washed to a flow equalization chamber and then piped to the Sand Beds. Sediment is filtered as water passes through the sand and then the water is discharged to the stream (Outfall #001) Water from the Primary Basin is piped to our Secondary Basin (92,000 gallon capacity) where remaining turbidity settles. As sediment builds up, the basin is cleaned and discharged to the stream no more than once per year (Outfall #002) Water from the Secondary Basin is piped to Filter Tanks (8,000 gallon capacity) and then piped into the plant and water tower for use in fabric washing and dyeing equipment. These filters are backwashed and discharged to the stream as needed (Outfall #003) S. Describe the wastewater and the treatment process(es) for wastewater generated by the facility: Wastewater is piped from our manufacturing facility to our Wastewater Basin (550,000 gallon capacity) to allow any solids to settle before discharging the wastewater into the Town of Tryon sewage system per our Industrial User Pretreatment Permit. None of the wastewater generated in the manufacturing process is discharged into the stream, as the only water discharged into the stream is a result of the intermittent cleaning of the Basins as described above 9. Number of separate discharge points: 3 Outfall Identification number(s) 001, 002, 003 10. Frequency of discharge: Continuous ❑ Intermittent If intermittent: Days per week discharge occurs: Max twice/year Duration: 6 hours Outfall 001 Days per week discharge occurs: Max once/year Duration: 4 hours Outfall 002 Days per week discharge occurs: Max once/month Duration: 4 hours Outfall 003 Page 2 of 4 Version 5/2012 NPDES PERMIT APPLICATION - SHORT FORM C - WTP For discharges associated with water treatment plants 11.

Additional Information: s Provide a schematic of flow through the facility, include flow volumes at all points in the water treatment process. The plan should show the point[s] of addition for chemicals and all discharges routed to an outfall [including stormwater]. o Attached Solids Handling Plan o Sedimentation from the Primary Basin is discharged to the Sand Beds. Solids are separated as the water passes through the sand beds before being discharged to the stream. On -site storage occurs before the solids are loaded and disposed of at the County landfill. The Primary Basin requires being emptied and cleaned a maximum of twice per year. Sedimentation may be discharged many times to the sand beds before disposal is required. 16.
