SUPPLEMENT OT EFFLUENT LIMITATIONS AND MONITORING REQUIREMENTS
SPECIAL CONDITIONS
A. (3.) CHRONIC TOXICITY PERMIT LIMIT (QUARTERLY)
The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit observable inhibition of reproduction or significant mortality to Ceriodaphnia
dubia at an effluent concentration of 46%.
The permit holder shall perform at a minimum, quarterly monitoring using test procedures outlined in the "North Carolina
Ceriodaphnia Chronic Effluent Bioassay Procedure," Revised February 1998, or subsequent versions or "North Carolina
Phase H 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, DWQ Form AT-3 (original) is to be sent to the following address:
Attention: NC DENR DWQ / Environmental Sciences Section
1621 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1621
Completed Aquatic Toxicity Test Forms shall be filed with the Environmental Sciences Branch no later than 30 days after
the end of the reporting period for which the report is made.
Test data shall be complete, accurate, include all supporting chemical/physical measurements and all concentration/response
data, and be certified by laboratory supervisor and ORC or approved designate signature. 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 Branch at the address cited above.
Should the permittee fail to monitor during a month in which toxicity monitoring is required, monitoring will be required
during the following month. Should any test data from this monitoring requirement 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,
minimum control organism reproduction, 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.

Introduction
Schneider Mills, Inc. (also herein referred to as Schneider Mills or the permittee) has requested
removal of the limits for phenol and chromium. Apparently, an incorrect determination was made in
2002 that the facility is subject to the Federal guidelines for woven fabric finishing. During the recent
permit renewal the permittee did not correct the DWQ's determination. Only after the final permit
was issued, the permittee informed DWQ that they are not engaged in any finishing operations. Based
on the provided information, the decision has been made that Schneider mills qre subject to the
Federal guidelines for woven fabric manufacturing [40 CFR 410.32].
Facility Description. Schneider Mills is a synthetic textile weaving facility discharging process -
contact wastes and non -process wastes through two separate outfalls. Influent to the onsite
wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) includes waste from "water jet weavers" (roughly 85%) and
fiber coating or "sizing" waste (about 15 %). Sanitary sewer (-1,200 gallon per day) comprises only
0.03 % of the W WTP influent. The W WTP discharges through Outfall 001 with a permitted flow of
0.780 MGD. Non -contact wastewater (Outfall 002; flow not limited) includes air-conditioning
condensate, boiler blowdown, Water Treatment Plant (WTP) filter backwash, and stormwater.
Schneider Mills has been in business in North Carolina since 1951. At this location Division records
date from 1972.

Reasonable Potential Analysis
Reasonable potential analysis was conducted for: Cd, Cr, Ni, Pb, Ag and Zn. (see attached).
Toxicity Testing
Current Requirement: Quarterly Chronic Toxicity @ 46% MAIL, RUN, SEP, DEC
Recommended Requirement: Quarterly Chronic Toxicity @ 46% MAR, JUN, SEP, DEC
The facility has been consistently passing its WET tests (see attached).
Compliance Summary
DMRs have been reviewed for the period January 2002 through March 2005. Facility has a good
compliance record. During the review period, the following NOVs (notices of violation) have been
issued: 01/08/04 —Sulfide; 07/15/03 —Sulfide.
A compliance evaluation inspection conducted on January 11, 2005 determined that the facility is in
compliance.
Instream Monitoring
Instream monitoring is required for Conductivity, Temperature, and Dissolved Oxygen.
Analysis of the instream monitoring data indicates that facility has insignificant negative
effect on the stream water quality (see attached).
Proposed Changes
• Monitoring Frequencies: Monitoring for Sulfide and Phenols has been eliminated due to the
removal of the limits for these parameters. Monitoring for Chromium has been reduced to quarterly
based on the statistical analysis of the effluent data and due to the elimination of the limit.
Limits: Limits for Sulfide, Chromium and Phenols have been eliminated since the facility is
not a subject to Federal guidelines for woven fabric finishing. Limits for BOD, COD, and TSS,
Sulfide, Chromium and Phenols have been recalculated in accordance with the Federal guidelines
for woven fabric manufacturing [40 CFR 410.32].

Dear Sir,
This is related to subject: Issuance of NPDES Permit NC 0034860
dated July 18, 2005.
Under major changes drafted on May 5, 2005 we ask to be exempt
from phenol and chromium testing due to past history on these test.
At this Schneider Mills plant we do not have dying or finishing type
operations. We weave, dry, inspect and ship our cloth.
Thank you for your help on this item.
Yours truly,
-a&'J
