Industrial User Pretreatment Permit (IUP)
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 (N/A) not classified
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. Toxic Organic Management Plan
Within ninety days of the issuance of this permit,the permittee shall develop and submit
to the Control Authority a toxic organic management plan.
7. 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
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).]]]"

Industrial User Pretreatment Permit (IUP)
PART III
Special Conditions
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.
8. Equivalent Mass Limits
This SIU is subject to 40CFR , 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 Magnetic Flow Meter for 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
9. pH CONTINUOUS MONITORING AND CALIBRATION
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,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 20 minutes/4 times
per day to be discharged to the sewer system. Also,the Town reserves the
right to determine any excursion that causes inhibition or 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 12.0 to 12.49.)
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.
We reduced Flow,BOD and Zinc as they were not using all that was
allocated to them to help accommodate future growth.
