PART III
Special Conditions
4. Certified Laboratory Analysis
Pollutant analysis shall be performed by a North Carolina Division of Water
Quality Certified Laboratory that is certified in the analysis of the pollutant in
wastewater. All analysis is to be paid by the Permittee.
5. Certified Operator
Pursuant to Chapter 90A-44 of North Carolina General Statutes, and upon
classification of the facility by the Certification Commission, the permittee shall
employ a certified wastewater pretreatment plant operator in responsible charge
(ORC) of the wastewater treatment facilities. Such operator must hold a
certification of the type and grade equivalent to, or greater than the classification
assigned to the wastewater treatment facilities by the Certification Commission.
The permittee must also employ a certified backup operator of the appropriate
type and grade to comply with the conditions of Title 15A, Chapter 8A .0202.
The ORC of the facility must visit the wastewater facility as required; must
properly manage and document daily operation and maintenance of the facility;
and must comply with all other conditions of Title 15A, Chapter 8A .0202. The
permittee shall submit a letter designating the operator in responsible charge to the
Certification Commission or their designee within thirty days after facility
classification.
6. Monitoring Waiver Parameters
Monitoring by the permittee and the Control Authority has been waived for the
following parameters in accordance with 40 CFR 403.12(e)(2).
Parameter Name 40 CFR Standards
The permittee shall provide the following certification with each report required
by Part II, 2, of this IUP, but in no case less than once every six months.
"Based upon my inquiry of the person or persons directly responsible for
managing compliance with the Pretreatment Standards for 40 CFR
I certify that, to the best of my knowledge, there has been no increase in the
level of

PART III
Special Conditions
in the wastewaters due to the activities at the facility since filing of the [[[last
monitoring report]]] [[[last periodic report under 40 CFR 403.12(e)(1).]]]"
In the event that a waived parameter is found to be present or is expected to be
present based on changes that occur in the permittee's operations, the permittee
shall immediately notify the Control Authority and sample for the parameter
within days of the notification.
13. Equivalent Mass Limits
This SIU is subject to 40CFR 403.6, and has been approved for Equivalent Mass
Limits for Concentration Limits as allowed by 40CFR 403.6(c)(5). In order to
remain eligible for the Equivalent Mass Limits, the following conditions must be
met.
a. Maintain and effectively operate control and treatment technology adequate to
achieve compliance with the equivalent mass limit. Currently consisting of:
BOD and TSS.
b. Continue appropriate effluent flow monitoring. Currently consisting of
Parshall Flume with Ultrasonic Meter and continuous monitoring_
c. Continue to record production rates.
d. Notify the POTW immediately if production rates vary by more than 20% of
the production used as the basis for calculating the equivalent mass limits.
e. Submit monthly flow and production rate summaries by the 20th day of the
following month, with an analysis of flow and production rate changes to
demonstrate no dilution.
f. Continue to employ the same or comparable water conservation measures.
Failure to comply with any of the above conditions disqualifies the User from
coverage by equivalent mass limits. Pre-existing concentration-based
Pretreatment Standards will be automatically enforceable at the time of
disqualification.

PART III
Special Conditions
14. pH CONTINOUS MONITORING AND CALABRATION
a. The pH monitoring frequency for this permit is continuous. In addition, the pH
meter is to be verified once(1 time) per week as a minimum. The
permittee shall calibrate and maintain the accuracy of all pH controllers+/- 0.1,
monitors and recorders to the accepted capability of that type of device. May be
done by Permit Holder.
b. All pH monitoring and calibration records shall be available during inspections
by Town officials,NCDENR(North Carolina Department of Environment and
Natural Resources), and/or by EPA(Environmental Protection Agency).
c. The Town will allow for reasonable meter"downtime"to address calibration
and maintenance needs, as well as power failures. It is the responsibility of the
permittee to keep a log of the time, date, and reason for"downtime".
d. Reporting requirement for brief period of time for excursions below 6.0 pH
units:
1) It is the permittee's responsibility to report the maximum and
minimum for each time period the pH was outside the limits,providing
the maximum or minimum of that excursion as well as the time and
length of the excursion. (e.g., below 6.0 from 10:08 to 10:14 am, max
was 5.7, min was 5.2. These excursions are to be reported by the
twentieth of the following month on a separate IDMR form.
2) The Town will allow an excursion of no longer than 30 minutes/3
times per day to be discharged to the sewer system. Also,the Town
reserves the any riht to determineexcursion that causes inhibition or
g
pass through(including damage to the collection system or any POTW
equipment) a violation no matter how brief a time. (This applies to a
pH excursion from 5.0 to 5.99 and 11.01 to 12.5).
3) Any spike below 5.0 or above 12.5, no matter how brief a time, is
considered a violation, and must be reported immediately to the
POTW. Furthermore, the user will be subject to fines and violations.

D. RATIONALE FOR LIMITATIONS:
As listed on the IUP Limits Page(s), PART I, Section F of the IUP.
RATIONALE #1:
Review of IU Monitoring Data, with no Over Allocation situation:
The following pollutants were assigned numerical limits in this IUP based
on a review of monitoring data for the permittee to determine what ranges of
concentrations are currently being discharged. To account for sample
variability a factor was applied to the monitoring data to determine the
permit limit. Permit limits assigned by the Local IUP Control Authority can
not result in an Over Allocation situation for any pollutants.
Changed Zinc limits due to change in production. They have
added Zycam.
Effective 5/1/2018 to 6/30/2018. New limits will be
determined before June 30, 2018.

Categorical Industrial Limits,with no Over Allocation situation:
Check here if Combined Wastestream Formula (CWF) or other categorical
limits calculations were used. If used, Please attach calculations: (see CWF
Spreadsheet, Appendix 6-F)
Were used (attach calculations)
Were not used
The following pollutants were assigned numerical limits in this IUP based
on the categorical regulations. These limits do not result in over allocations.
RATIONALE#3a:
Over Allocation Prevention,with IU pollutant reduction:
The following pollutants were assigned numerical limits in this IUP based
on allocating the Maximum Allowable Industrial Loading (MAIL)
determined with the Headworks Analysis (HWA) among all Industrial
Users. The total loading of each pollutant from all permitted discharges
does not exceed the MAIL. These limits do not result on over allocations.
RATIONALE #3b:
Interim Limits for IU pollutant reduction:
The following pollutants were assigned interim numerical limits in this IUP
to allow time for the industry to come compliance with final limits that will
not in over allocations.

4.) Other Rationale for Limitations:
The following rationale was used for developing IUP Limits.
Parameter Rationale
RATIONALE#5a:
Non-Categorical Parameters where No Limit needed or assigned in an IUP:
The following pollutants were not assigned numerical limits in this IUP
because the loadings for these pollutants from this IU were less than 5% of
the MAHL. The loading of these pollutants from this IU is considered
insignificant at this time.
