Re: NOV-2018-PC-0161
Dear Ms. Gore:
Although I have yet to receive a hardcopy of your letter of Notice of Violation issued to MSD
Pretreatment Program dated May 16, 2018, I am responding to the one received via email on Monday,
May 21st. Needless to say, MSD's management was stunned to learn of the omission of required
documents and is pursuing immediate action to correct this. Our intentions are to send all documents
by the June 15th deadline. I am enclosing with this letter thirteen signed copies of SIU permits, permit
rationale and applications. In all, of the 20 permitted Sills only six permits remain outstanding.
We take this matter very seriously and will conduct a thorough investigation on how this normal
administrative process could have been overlooked. And rest assured that follow up measures will be
taken to make sure this will not happen again. In the meantime, please direct all future correspondence
to my direct attention. As we continue to work to get the requested information together should you
have any questions,you may contact me on my direct line [phone].

Permit No. S-003-17
B. Rationale For Limitations and Effluent Limits
The Metropolitan Sewerage Treatment Plant is experiencing no difficulty treating
the industrial waste it is receiving at this time. Permit limits are based on the current
Headworks Analysis, which considers most recent available industrial monitoring and
analytical characterization of the MSD Wastewater System. Limits established in
Permits to Discharge Industrial Waste were utilized in the Headworks Analysis to
determine the capability of the Wastewater Treatment Plant to operate within design and
Permit Limits, pass-through and receiving stream Water Quality Criteria, and without
chemical inhibition.
1. The following pollutants from Monitoring Point 01 (40 CFR 413) were
assigned numerical limits in this Industrial User Permit based on the
categorical regulations and the MSD Sewer Use Ordinance which-ever is
more restrictive.
Daily
Pollutants Maximum Units
Cadmium 0.10 mg/1
Chromium 1.00 mg/1
Copper 1.00 mg/1
Lead 0.40 mg/1
Nickel 1.00 mg/1
Silver .043 mg/1
Zinc 1.00 mg/1
Tin 1.00 mg/1
Total Metals 4.50 mg/1
Cyanide 1.00 mg/1
TTO 2.13 mg/1
These limits do not result in over allocation the Maximum Allowable Industrial
Loading determined with the Headworks Analysis among all Users.
C. Rationale For Other Pollutants
1. The following pollutants, which were detected in the discharge at Monitoring
Point 01, are monitored with the TTO monitoring. These parameters are
limited by the sum of the TTO.
Pollutants
N-nitrosodimethylamine
Antimony
Chloroform
Chloromethane

Permit No. S-003-17
1. The following pollutant is a Priority Pollutant known to be used in the
manufacturing process but was not detected in the discharge at Monitoring
Point 01 when monitored with TTO.

2. The following pollutant, which was detected in the discharge at Monitoring
Point 01, was not assigned numerical limits in this Industrial User Permit. Its
concentration was at or below domestic concentrations.

Pursuant to the Sewer Use Ordinance of the Metropolitan Sewerage District of Buncombe County,North Carolina(MSD),all
persons who are users or may become users of the sewerage systems are subject to regulation. Some of the objectives of our
Ordinance and this wastewater survey/and application are:
• To prevent the introduction of pollutants into the Sewerage System which will interfere with the operation of the Sewerage
System or contaminate the resulting sludge generated;
• To prevent the introduction of pollutants into the Sewerage System which will pass through the system,inadequately treated:into
any waters of the State or otherwise be incompatible with the Sewerage System;
• To promote reuse and recycling of industrial wastewater and sludges from the Sewerage System;and
• To provide for the regulation of direct and indirect contributors to the Sewerage System,through the issuance of permits to certain
nondomestic Users and through enforcement of general requirements for the other Users;authorizes monitoring and enforcement
activities,requires User reporting and provides for the setting of fees for the equitable distribution of-costs.
