Ammonia violation July,1994 - many COD violations summer,1992.
This renewal has not allowed enough time for full data collection to assess monitored toxicants
under current SOP, (Le. 8 -12 data points) therefore continued monitoring will be recommended.
Facilittyy lras poor toxicity record. Contact with ESB indicates they have initiated Toxicity
Identiffcadon f3valuation, (M) and are showing very positive results in the last six months of
toxicity tenting. High levels of zinc in effluent may be a contributing factor.

Instream Data:
1976: modeled with recommendation of Secondary limits, (including Oil & Grease limit of 10 mgA) for a 0.009 mgd discharge w/ a
s7010 of 2.1 cfs.
1978: issued w/ recommendations from 40 CFR 410 subpart C for 35,564 Ibs/day production for 0.152 mgd.
1980: eight (8) discharge pipes were established in a modeling analysis, (due to their close proximity they were modeled as one
outfall using a Level B). The recommended limits were 21 mg/I BODS, 5.0 mg/I dissolved oxygen and 6 - 9 SU pH. It was
noted on the WLA cover that NH3N was considered to be negligible, but if it was found to present to be present in significant
amounts the BODu would be "split" up into BODS and NH3N. The s7010 was determined to be 1.52 cfs and the various pipes
received similar, but independent limits, (i.e. 001 has Secondary limits since it was 100% domestic, most of the other received
the above limits with the exception of the non -contact cooling water pipes which just had pH limits).
1982: new BPT guidelines were established, (only pipe 002 was completed for Secondary Limits)
1983: all pipes, (except pipe 001 which was 100% domestic and had Secondary Limits) were reissued with 31 mg/l BODs, 5.0 mgll
dissolved oxygen,1205 #/d COD, 220 #/d TSS, and 6 - 9 SU pH, (excluding those non -contact cooling or boiler blowdown
pipes).
1988: only pipe 001, (99% Industrial) was renewed. Extensive Level B modeling was done Including Muddy Fork Creek though
Lower Little River; models included the other various dischargers along these waterbodies. No DO violations were predicted.
The WLA was reissued w/ recommendations based on 40 CFR 410 subpart C w/ 50,000 Ibs/day [weaved cloth] production.
Instream monitoring was also recommended.
1993: facility increased production from 50,000 to 61,000 Ibs/day. Remodeled due to increased loading, (a second model in the
WLA file has odd output; it looks as 9 two Segment 1: Reach 1 were run concurrently). There is no full review of the previously
existing outfalls, but the Staff Report indicates that outfall 001 is industrial wastewater generated by a water jet loom and sizing
operations. "Cooling water and boiler blowdown are also discharged through these WWT facilities. Wastewater from the filter
backwash serving the water treatment plant is discharged through outfall 003. Currently there is no outfall 002, outfall 003
should be changed to 002."

Ammonia violation July, 1994.

This renewal takes place before enough time for at least 8 -12 samples could be obtained on a quarterly basis for toxics, (refer
explaination below).

Toxicity Record
many instances of Fall after Fail.... Have contacted ESB as to their assessment. Matt Matthews looked into this facility. They have
been working on a TIE for some time, (Ring some surfactants has helped) and has consistently passed their toxicity testing for about six
months. The May, 1994 toxicity test had a difference of two bugs between it and the 'control', therefore Matt urged strong consideration
against viewing this test as a failure. I requested he give me an idea of possible metals which may have been causing these failures;
zinc was the only metal which he thought might be attributable.
