C. Permit Modification History
Date Modification Renewal
August 2,1999 Issued Permit No.S-065-99 to Prince Manufacturing.
February 1,2000 Adjusted the flow down to a Monthly Average of 0.021 MGD and Daily
Maximum to 0.030 MGD.
July 1,2001 Removed the BOD and TSS limitations and monitoring requirements
and reduced MSD's monitoring frequency. Prince has also installed a
new pretreatment system and changes were made to Part I,A.to show
these changes. Finally,the industry was classified as a CFR 433 in the
original Permit: it has been reclassified as a CFR 413 to better reflect
the current operation.
March 1,2002 Renewed Permit S-065-99 as S-065-02 to Prince Manufacturing.
January 1,2007 Renewed Permit S-065-02 as S-065-07 to Prince Manufacturing. This
industry has converted back to being classified as a CFR 433. The E-
coat application is an electrically charged liquid paint and is not an
electroplated.
January 1,2012 Renewed Permit
January 1,2017 Renewed Permit
January 1,2022 Renewed Permit. Updated limits to reflect new SUO limits. Increased
flow based upon industry request.

PART III
GENERAL CONDITIONS AND REQUIREMENTS
A. Duty to Comply
The Industrial User must comply with all conditions of the Permit. Any non-compliance with the
Permit constitutes a violation of the SUO and may be grounds for possible enforcement action.

The Industrial User may be subject to criminal penalties levied by the State of North Carolina or
the United States of America.
B. Duty to Mitigate-Prevention of Adverse Impact
The Industrial User shall take all reasonable steps to minimize or prevent any discharge in
violation of the Permit which has a reasonable likelihood of adversely affecting human health,

as possible, all control facilities or systems installed or used by the Industrial User to achieve
compliance with the terms and conditions of the Permit and the SUO.
E. Bypass
1. Bypass of treatment facilities is prohibited. MSD may take enforcement action against the
Industrial User for bypass unless MSD approves when such bypass is in compliance with 40
CFR 403.17. Such conditions are:
a. Bypass was unavoidable to prevent loss of life, personal injury or severe property
damage;
b. There were no feasible alternatives to the bypass. This condition is not satisfied if
adequate back-up equipment should have been installed in the exercise of reasonable

Permit No. S-065-22 B
PART III
GENERAL CONDITIONS AND REQUIREMENTS
E. Bypass(continued)
2. If the Industrial user does not know of the bypass in advance,it must submit verbal notice
to MSD as soon as the Industrial User becomes aware of the bypass. The verbal notice shall
be followed with a written submission. The written submission shall describe the bypass
and its cause;state how long the bypass occurred including exact dates and times,and if the
bypass has not been corrected, the anticipated time it is expected to continue; and steps
taken or planned to reduce,eliminate and prevent reoccurrence of the bypass.
F. Flow Measurement
1. Flow measuring and recording facilities shall be maintained to provide an accurate
measurement of the volume discharged. If it is the determination of the MSD that when,in
the opinion of the MSD or Industrial User,the flow measuring and recording facilities are not
sufficiently measuring the flow, the MSD may require recalibration or change-out at the
expense of Industrial User. If no effluent/process measurement devices are installed, or if
flow measurement devices malfunction,the permittee shall record the water meter reading
providing water to the facility at the beginning and end of each composite sample collection
time period,convert this to an estimate of the daily discharge flow for each pipe,and report
this value on the discharge monitoring report form.
2. The permittee shall install appropriate discharge flow measurement devices and methods
consistent with approved scientific practices to ensure the accuracy and reliability of
measurements of the volume of monitored discharges. Devices installed shall be a
continuous recording flow meter capable of measuring flows with a maximum deviation of
less than 10% from true discharge rates throughout the range of expected discharge
volumes. The devices shall be installed, calibrated, and maintained to ensure accuracy.
Modifications to the flow metering equipment shall be approved by the Control Authority
prior to installation.
3. Any malfunction of flow monitoring and recording equipment shall be reported by the
Industrial User immediately to MSD by phone followed by a written report submitted to
the General-Manager of MSD within five(5)days of the malfunction. Any malfunction must
be corrected within seven (7) days. Certification of accuracy must be provided to MSD
within fifteen(15) days of the date of repair.

Solids,sludge,filter backwash,or other pollutants removed in the course of treatment or control
of wastewaters shall be disposed of in a manner such as to prevent any pollutants from such
materials from entering the sewer system. The Industrial User is responsible for assuring its
