DAK Americas WWTP
Cumberland County
Class 2 Facility
Enclosed with this letter is a copy of the Draft NPDES permit renewal for your facility. Please
review this draft carefully to ensure thorough understanding of the requirements and conditions it
contains. There are several changes from the existing permit, including the following:
• Limits for BOD, TSS and toxic pollutants for Outfall 002 were modified based on the
effluent guidance limits and the updated production flows for DAK Americas and Clear
Path Recycling.
• The sampling location for Total Residual Chlorine and pH was changed to the box
combining effluents of outfalls 001 and 002.
• Requirements for Outfall 001 were modified to reflect typical cooling water monitoring
requirements. Although this is a combined outfall discharging cooling water and
stormwater it is considered a wastewater outfall for permitting purposes.
• Annual monitoring for mercury was added at outfall 002 in accordance with the
implementation of the 2012 Statewide Mercury TMDL.
• Annual monitoring for 1,4 Dioxane was added at outfall 002. 1,4 Dioxane is a pollutant
of concern in the Cape Fear River. The Division is implementing monitoring to gather
data on this pollutant.
• Federal regulations require electronic submittal of all discharge monitoring reports
(DMRs) and program reports. The final NPDES Electronic Reporting Rule was adopted
and became effective on December 21, 2015. The requirement to begin reporting

1. Sample Location E- Samples to be collected before comingling with the WWTP effluent.
A.(3.) ACUTE TOXICITY PASS/FAIL PERMIT LIMIT (QUARTERLY) [15A NCAC 02B
.0200 et seq.]
The permittee shall conduct acute toxicity tests.on a quarterly basis using protocols defined in the North
Carolina Procedure Document entitled "Pass/Fail Methodology For Determining Acute Toxicity In A
Single Effluent Concentration" (Revised December 2010 or subsequent versions). The monitoring shall
be performed as a Fathead Minnow (Pimephales promelas) 24-hour static test. The effluent
concentration at which there may be at no time significant acute mortality is 90% (defined as treatment
two in the procedure document). The tests will be performed during the months &February, May,
August, and November. These months signify the first month of each three-month toxicity testing
quarter assigned to the facility. Effluent sampling for this testing must be obtained during
representative effluent discharge and shall be performed`at the NPDES permitted final effluent discharge
below all treatment processes. `
Should any single quarterly monitoring indicate a failure to meet specified limits, then monthly
monitoring will begin immediately until such time that a single test is passed. Upon passing, this
monthly test requirement will revert to quarterly in the months specified above.
All toxicity testing results required as part of this,permit condition will be entered on the Effluent
Discharge Monitoring Form (MR -1) for the month in which it was performed, using the parameter code
TGE6C. Additionally, DWR Form AT -2 (original),is to be sent to the following address:
Attention:\ North Carolina Division of Water Resources
Water Sciences Section/Aquatic Toxicology Branch
1621 Mail Service Center
Raleigh; -North Carolina 27699-1621
Completed Aquatic, Toxicity Test Forms shall be filed with the Water 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 and accurate and include all supporting chemical/physical measurements
performed in -association with the toxicity tests, as well as all dose/response data. 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
Water Sciences Section at the address cited above.
Should the permittee fail to monitor during a month in which toxicity monitoring is required, then
monthly monitoring will begin immediately until such time that a single test is passed. Upon passing,
Page 6of10

this monthly test requirement will revert to quarterly in the months specified above. Assessment of
toxicity compliance is based on the toxicity testing quarter, which is the three-month time interval that
begins on the first day of the month in which toxicity testing is required by this permit and continues
until the final day of the third month.
Should any test data from either these monitoring requirements or tests performed by the North Carolina
Division of Water Resources 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 mimmum control
organism survival 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 bf the,month following
the month of the initial monitoring.
A. (4.) BIOCIDE APPROVAL [G.S. 143-215,143-'215.1]
The Permittee shall obtain approval from the Division's Aquatic Toxicology Unit prior to discharging any biocide
(not previously approved by the Division) under this permit. Approval for use of any biocide not previously The
Permittee shall request approval of any new unatithonzed biocide at least 90 days in advance of planned usage.
Contact the Aquatic Toxicology Unit for detailedstructions on requesting biocide approval:

Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1621
A. (5.) LABORATORY TEST -METHOD QUANTITATION LEVELS AND COMPLIANCE
[G.S. 143-215.66]
For any given parameter, the Permittee must apply a state -certified analytical test method with a practical
quantitation level (PQL) at or below the NPDES permit limit If such level of analytical sensitivity is not
technologically feasible, the,Permittee shall employ a state -certified analytical method with the lowest available
test -method PQL, and values reported as "not detected" by this lowest available PQL shall be deemed
"compliant" with this permit. `
A. (6.) ELECTRONIC REPORTING OF MONITORING REPORTS [G.S. 143-215.1(b)]
Federal regulations require electronic submittal of all discharge monitoring reports (DMRs) and program reports.
The final NPDES Electronic Reporting Rule was adopted and became effective on December 21, 2015.
f
NOTE: This special condition supplements or supersedes the following sections within Part II of this permit
(Standard Conditions for NPDES Permits):
• Section B. (11.) Signatory Requirements
• Section D. (2.) Reporting
• Section D. (6.) Records Retention
• Section E. (5.) Monitoring Reports
Page 7 of 10

1. Reporting Requirements [Supersedes Section D. (2.) and Section E. (5.) (a)1
The permittee shall report discharge monitoring data electronically using the NC DWR's Electronic
Discharge Monitoring Report (eDMR) internet application.
Monitoring results obtained during the previous month(s) shall be summarized for each month and submitted
electronically using eDMR. The eDMR system allows permitted facilities to enter monitoring data and
submit DMRs electronically using the internet. Until such time that the state's eDMR application is
compliant with EPA's Cross -Media Electronic Reporting Regulation (CROMERR), permittees will be
required to submit all discharge monitoring data to the state electronically usmgl�6DMR and will be required
to complete the eDMR submission by printing, signing, and submitting one signed original and a copy of the
computer printed eDMR to the following address:
NC DEQ / Division of Water Resources / Water Quality Permnitting,Secti\on

physically located in an area where less than 10 percent of the households have broadband access, then a
temporary waiver from the NPDES electronic reporting requirements may be granted and discharge
monitoring data may be submitted on paper DMR forms (MR 1, 1.1; 2, 3) or alternative forms approved by
the Director. Duplicate signed copies shall be submitted to the mailing address above. See "How to Request
a Waiver from Electronic Reporting" section below._ `%

Regardless of the submission method, the first DMR is due omthe last day of the month following the
issuance of the permit or in the case of a new facility,,on the last day of the month following the

commencement of discharge.' W
Starting on December.21, 2020, the permittee must electronically report the following compliance
monitoring data and`reports, when applicable:
• Sewer Overflow/Bypass Event Reports;
