Subject: Draft NPDES Permit Renewal
Permit NC0006190
South Fork Industries, Inc. Maiden Plant

Grade III Biological WPCS
SIC Code 2257
Dear Mr. Owens:
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:
• One new tier of limits has been added to the permit. See Section A. (2) Effluent
Limitations and Monitoring Requirements. Additionally, the Permittee is required to
notify the Division, in writing, at least two weeks before the daily average production rate
exceeds 58,900 lbs/day to active the second tier of limit [See Footnote 1 in Section A.
(1)]•
• Limitations for BOD5, COD,TSS, Sulfide, Phenols and Total Chromium have been
recalculated based on the projected production data for next three years. See Sections A.
(1) and A. (2) Effluent Limitations and Monitoring Requirements.
• The NC 2007-2014 Water Quality Standard(WQS)Triennial Review was approved by
the NC Environmental Management Committee(EMC) on November 13, 2014. The US
EPA subsequently approved the WQS revisions on April 6, 2016 with some exceptions.
The NC Division of Water Resources NPDES Permitting Unit is required to implement
the new dissolved metal standards in all permits public noticed after April 6, 2016. The
new standards for most metals include acute standards. Further,the freshwater standards
for several metals are expressed as the dissolved form of the metals, and seven metals

have hardness-dependent equations. As a result,the NPDES Permitting Unit will need
site-specific effluent hardness data and instream hardness data,upstream of the discharge,
for each facility monitoring these metals in order to calculate permit limitations. Effluent
hardness and instream hardness sampling,upstream of the discharge, has been added to
this permit at a monitoring frequency of quarterly [See Sections A. (1) and A. (2)].
• Based on the Reasonable Potential Analysis, quarterly monitoring for Chloride, Sulfates
and Total Zinc have been removed from the permit [See Sections A. (1) and A. (2)].
• Upstream and downstream monitoring for Total Copper has been removed from the
permit since the receiving stream is not impaired by copper [See Sections A. (1) and A.
(2)].
• Some of the wording has changed in Special Condition A. (3). Chronic Toxicity Permit
Limit,please review each paragraph carefully.
• One effluent sample reported for silver was less than detection, at a detection level of less
than 5 µg/L. In accordance with 15A NCAC 2B .0500 all test procedures must produce
detection and reporting levels that are below the permit discharge requirements and all data
generated must be reported to the approved detection level or lower reporting level of the
procedure. Currently, DWR's laboratory identifies the Practical Quantitation Limit(PQL)
for silver at< 1 µg/L.The allowable discharge concentration for your facility is 0.48 µg/L.
Therefore, future sampling for silver should analyze down to the lower reporting level of
the procedure or PQLs as listed above. No limits or additional monitoring requirements
for silver were added to the permit at this time.
• Federal regulations require electronic submittal of all discharge monitoring reports
(DMRs)and program reports. The requirement to continue reporting discharge monitoring
data electronically using the NC DWR's Electronic Discharge Monitoring Report(eDMR)
internet application has been updated in the permit. [See Special Condition A. (6)]
• Regulatory citations have been added to the permit.
The NPDES standard conditions (Parts II, III, and IV) are not included with this draft. The
conditions are the same as in your current permit except that agency and division names have
been updated. The latest version is available at https://bit.ly/2BZ4xxx and can be viewed online
or downloaded as a PDF file.
Concurrent with this notification the Division is publishing a notice in a newspaper having
circulation in the general Catawba County area, soliciting public comments on this draft permit.
Please provide any written comments you may have to the following: NCDEQ/DWR,NPDES
Permitting Branch, 1617 Mail Service Center, Raleigh,NC 27699-1617 no later than 30 days
after receipt of this draft permit.

Following the 30-day public comment period,the Division will review all pertinent comments
and take appropriate action prior to issuing a final permit. If you have questions concerning this
draft permit,please call me at(919) 707-3610 or by email at [e-mail].

The permit holder shall perform at a minimum,quarterly monitoring using test procedures outlined in the"North
Carolina Ceriodaphnia Chronic Effluent Bioassay Procedure,"Revised December 2010,or subsequent versions or
"North Carolina Phase II Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure"(Revised-December 2010)or
subsequent versions.The tests will be performed during the months of March,June, September and
September. 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.
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 perro jrmed``at&minimum,in each of the two
following months as described in"North Carolina Phase`II Chronic Whole-Effluent Toxicity Test
Procedure"(Revised-December 2010)or subsequent versions. �` �`
All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit condition will 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 THP3B for the Chronic/Value. Additionally,DWR'Form AT-3 (original)is to be sent to the
following address:
