Dear Mr. Ohashi:
Division personnel have reviewed and approved your application for renewal of the subject
permit. Accordingly, we are forwarding the attached NPDES discharge permit. This permit is issued
pursuant to the requirements of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and the Memorandum of
Agreement between North Carolina and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency dated May 9,1994 (or
as subsequently amended).
This final permit contains no significant changes from the draft you were sent on September 13, 2006.
If any parts, measurement frequencies or sampling requirements contained in this permit are
unacceptable to you, you have the right to an adjudicatory hearing upon written request within thirty
(30) days following receipt of this letter. This request must be in the form of a written petition,
conforming to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes, and filed with the Office of

demand is made, this decision shall be final and binding.
Please note that this permit is not transferable except after notice to the Division. The Division
may require modification or revocation and reissuance of the permit. This permit does not affect the
legal requirements to obtain other permits which may be required by the Division of Water Quality or
permits required by the Division of Land Resources, the Coastal Area Management Act or any other
Federal or Local governmental permit that may be required.

Permit NC0000019
A. (5.) CHRONIC TOXICITY PERNIIT LIMIT (QRTRLY)
The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit observable inhibition of reproduction or significant mortality to
Ceriodaphnia dubia at an effluent concentration of 0.75%%.
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 II Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure" (Revised -February 1998)
or subsequent versions. The tests will be performed during the months of January, April, July and October.
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 THP313 for the Chronic Value. Additionally, DWQ Form AT-3 (original) is to be sent to
the following address:
Attention: North Carolina Division of Water Quality
Environmental Sciences Section
1621 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1621
Completed Aquatic Toxicity Test Forms shall be filed with the Environmental Sciences Section 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 bf 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
Section 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.

Permit NC0000019 .
A-K) BIOCIDE CONDITION
` ` The penmittee shall not use any biocides except those approved in conjunction with the permit
application. The permittee shall notify the Director in writing not later than ninety (90) days prior to instituting
use of any additional biocide used in cooling systems which may be toxic to aquatic life other than those
previously reported to the Division of Water Quality. Such notification shall include completion of Biocide.
Worksheet Form 101 and a map locating the discharge point and receiving stream.
A.M) DISINFECTION CONDITION
In the event that violations of the fecal coliform requirements of the North Carolina water quality standards
occur as a result of this discharge, disinfection will immediately be required and the permit amended to
establish a coliform effluent limitation.

• Remove aluminum and butyrolactone monitoring.
• Add TRC limit with compliance schedule.
IL Summary
United Chemi-Con is a'manufacturer of aluminum electrolytic capacitators, an industrial
function not specified in the 40 CM Four outfalls discharge wastewater from the site.
o Outfall 001 regularly discharges a combined flow of non -contact cooling water, A/C
condensate, boiler blowdown, deionizer backwash, and stormwater. The facility also has
the ability to discharge assembled -product washwater and process wastewater, however
according to the 11/2005 staff report, the facility hauls away all process wastewater.
o Outfall 003 discharges A/C condensate intermittently.
o Outfall 006 discharges domestic wastewater on a fairly regular basis. A kitchen, which
has grease traps, also discharges into this system.
o Outfall 007 discharges non -contact cooling water and filtered surface water once a year
during maintenance. Sludge is hauled off -site.
III. Compliance Summary
DMR Data Review
DMRs were reviewed for the period of January 2003 through June 2006. Summaries of monthly
average DMR data for outfalls 001 and 006 are included in Tables 1 and 2, respectively. During
this time there was no recorded discharge from outfalls 003 and 007.

Insheam Data Review
Instream temperature data was reviewed for May 2004- June 2006. There was no difference
between values reported at upstream and downstream sites.
RPA Analysis
RPAs were performed for copper, zinc, aluminum, and butrolactone. Aluminum monitoring will
be removed due to the lack of reasonable potential for the levels present to cause an exceedance
of EPA criteria (there are no NC standards for Al). Butrolactone monitoring will also be removed
since no detections were noted during the entire review period. Quarterly monitoring for copper
and zinc will remain. Reported levels were higher than the acute criteria, however monitoring
will not be increased since the facility consistently passes its WET tests.
WET Test Results
United Chemic Con has a chronic whole effluent toxicity (WET) testing requirement at 0.75%
effluent concentration. The facility has passed 18/18 tests administered since January 2002.
Correspondence File Review/Compliance History
There were no limit violations during the review period. Staff reports note that the facility is well
operated and maintained.
