PREFACE
Abstracts of Industrial NPDES Permits provides rapid access to information
contained in approximately 270 industrial wastewater discharge permits issued by
EPA and State permitting authorities. The abstracts are intended primarily to
illustrate various permitting techniques; show similarities and differences in
permit effluent limits and monitoring frequencies; and demonstrate applications
of sPecialized permitting tools such as biomonitoring and best management
practices.
The data and limitations contained in these permit abstracts are not
directly transferable to permits for similar industrial facilities without a
careful, case-by-case consideration of all relevant factors. Permits for faci-
lities in industries not regulated by national effluent limitations guidelines
are based on the best professional judgment (BPJ) of the permit writer. These
BPJ-based permits may vary, even within the same industrial category, because of
the factors prevailing at a particular plant or locality which the permitting
authori ty must consider. In addition, State water quality standards may require
that controls be imposed for certain pollutants more stringent than those dic-
tated by the national effluent guidelines. Consequently, some of the permit
limitations that are based on water quality standards lnay be more stringent tllan
necessary for other dischargers.

FOI&'WARD
The second edition of the Abstracts of Industrial NPDES Permits is a
convenient desk-top reference for peTInit engineers. The volume is also expected
to be of interest to environmental managers and others in the engineering,
research and academic communities with an interest in industrial wastewater
treatment. Each abstract in the file is a summary of an actual NPDES peTInit
condensed to a standardized one-page forillat for quick review. Readers are
encouraged to obtain the complete permit and fact sheet for more details and are
referred to the Environmental PeTInit Regulations in the April 1, 1983 Federal
Register for a description of the NPDES permitting process.
The file of peTInit abstracts features:
o
peTIni ts in all of the primary and many of the secondary industries
o
peTInits from all EPA Regions and most NPDES States
o
a Keyword Index to locate principal items in the abstracts
chromium treatment)
(i.e. ,
o
a quick reference alphabetical listing of companies, manufacturing
processes, and treatment technologies
o
other indexes including Effluent Guidelines, General Pollutant,
Priority Pollutant, and Receiving Water
o
illustrations of several peTInitting techniques including effluent
limitations guidelines, water quality and best professional judgment-
based peTInits
o
applications of special peTInit conditions such as biomonitoring or
best management practices
An annual supplement is published and distributed to the NPDES Permitting
Authorities. Your comments and suggestions are welcome and may be addressed to:

AK0000507: Collier Carbon and Chemical Corporation (facility now called Union
Chemicals Division of Union Oil Company) of Kenai, Alaska (S.W. of Seward on the Kenai
Peninsula) is in the Fertilizer Manufacturing Category and manufactures anhydrous
arrmonia, (40 CFR 418.20) 3558 tpj, and pri lled and granulated urea, (40 CFR 418.30)
3097 tpd. The facility discharges 0.99 mgd at Outfall 001 to the Cook Inlet following
oil flotation, solids settling, neutralization and cooling. Sludge is landfilled.
Limitations for pH, NH3, Organic Nitrogen and oil and Grease are based on BPT
effluent guidelines and NSPS. In 1977, the permit was modified to provide for an
expansion of the existing facility to double the production capacity. The modified
permit included interlin limitations during construction of the new additions, but
since start-up final limits have been in place. The single analysis submitted on
Form 2C indicates no problems in meeting current limits.

AK0023248: Alyeska pipeline Service Company is the agent and operator of the Trans-
Alaska pipeline System for the owners, Amerada Hess Pipeline Corporation, ARCO pipe-
line Company, BP pipeline, Inc., Exxon pipeline Company,Mobil Alaska pipeline Company,
Phillips Alaska pipeline Corporation, SOHIO pipeline Company, and Union Alaska
Pipeline Company. The Valdez Terminal (E. of Anchorage) has an onshore treatment
facility to remove oil from ballast water carried by tankers prior to discharging this
water, storm water and other wastewater (27.0/33.6 mgd total) into Port Valdez through
Outfall 001. The facility is in the Shore Receptors & Bulk Termin~Category (40 CFR
453) (SIC 4463 - Marine Cargo Handling). Treatment of ballast waters (27 mgd)
consists of primary gravity oil/water separation, chemical coagulation and polymer
assisted dissolved air flotation, pH adjustment, clarification and 50% recycle to the
OAF units before release to retention ponds where more solids are settled and floating
scum is removed before discharge. Dilution by "clean" ballast is not allowed and
storm water must receive complete treatment. An outfall diffuser system is utilized
for the dispersal of treated wastes; and a mixing zone is provided in Port Valdez for
this discharge. The permit requires that the permittee conduct a three-year study,
including biological monitoring, a review of aromatic hydrocarbon levels in the
recei ving water, and a detai led review of treabTlent technology both for reduction of
toxic pollutants and attainment of best conventional pollutant control technology.

AK0026662: International Seafoods of Alaska, Inc., of Kodiak, Alaska (on Kodiak
Island in Alaska) is a new source in several Alaskan subcategories (listed with
limits) of the Canned and Preserved Seafood processing Category (40 CFR, Part 408) and
operates year-round in the processing and freezing of up to 250 tpd of salmon, crab,
and bottom fish (SIC 2092). The facility has an unregulated thermal discharge of less
than 10 mgd and two wastewater discharges directly to Kodiak Harbor: Outfall 001 -
63,600 gpd of process wastewater treated with solids separation for removal of offal,
and Outfall 002 - 64,300 gpd of sea water used for icemaking and rinse of holding
tanks and boat holds (not regulated). The facility also discharges 3,400 gpd of
sanitary waste to the POTW, and 7,000 gpd of solid waste (offal) is stored for pick-up
by a processing firm. The basis for effluent limitations is the New Source
Performance Standards contained in the effluent guidelines. The discharge at Outfall
001 is regulated by total allowable mass discharge, as well as allowable discharge
rates based on production of various seafood products. A re-opener clause in included
in the permit, but there is no schedule of compliance.

AL0000841: Reichhold Chemicals, Inc. of Bay Minette, AL (Mobile area) is in the Tall
Oil Rosin, pitch & Fatty Acids Subcategory (40 CFR 454.40 Subpart D, 228,000 lb/d-----
production) and in the Rosin-Based Derivatives Subcategory (40 CFR 454.60, Subpart F,
116,000 lb/d production) of the Gum & Wood Chemicals Manufacturing Category (SIC 2861,
2899 for both subcategories). Their products are the result of distillation of crude
tall oil, produced as a byproduct of the kraft pulping process. Outfall 001 is
treated wastewater (167,000 gpd) consisting of 54,600 gpd of process waste, 15,000 gpd
of condensate and blowdown, and 97,400 gpd (average) of storm water. Treatment
consists of oil skimming and recovery, acid and polymer addition, static mixer,
induced air flotation, foam breaking, caustic addition for neutralization,
nutrient addition, and aerated lagoon. The current permit limits are an extension of
the prev ious permit, for which the conpany was in COTlp 1 iance. The 1 imi ts were based
on the capability of the treabnent plant. It is considered to be a BCT permit since
Reichhold is required under the 201 Facility plan to connect to the Bay Minette POTW
when construction is completed sometime in 1983-84. The current mass limits are less
stringent than the BPT guidelines allow, and water quality standards for
Hollinger Creek would require upgrading treabnent beyond what would be presumed to be
BAT. Therefore, Reichhold has agreed to continue to operate its existing treatment
plant and send the treated effluent to the POTW as an indirect discharger. The state
will issue an SID (State Indirect Discharger) permit at that time, and the conpany
will continue to monitor and report its wastewater treabnent results. The permit also
requires that during periods of high rainfall, the first flush of storm water must be
retained for treatment before bypassing additional runoff during the sane
precipitation event. However, no BMP plan is required.

AL0001597: Shell Chemical Company, located in Axis (Mobile County), Alabama, is in
the Organic Chemicals Category (40 CFR 414). Wastewater from the production of
specialty organic chemicals and pesticides, including the pesticide Pydrin, results in
one combined facility discharge to the Hobile River (7Q10=4000 cfs). Treatment for
pesticides production wastewater consists of incineration, detoxification, and solvent
extraction before joining other production wastewaters for treatment in the plant's
biological treatment system. The mass effluent limitations are based on the previous
permit, which was a BPJ determination of BAT/BeT. These limits are designed to
protect water quality in the Mobile River. To study the effects of Pydrin production,
biamoni toring is required to be conducted for a minimum of six months. A BMP plan
is not required in this permit.

AL0001970: The Stauffer Chemical Corp., Cold Creek plant in Mobile County, Alabama is
in the pesticides Manufacturing Category (40 CFR 455) and produces herbicides,
pesticides, technical chemicals, and intermediates (SIC 2869 and 2879). Process
wastewater receives skimming, neutralization, aeration, pH adjustment prior to
discharge at Outfall 001, where the total plant effluent (98,000 gpd) is released to
the Mobile River. The effluent includes sanitary wastes treated in an activated
sludge package plant (Outfall 001A) and storm water runoff (avg. 27,000 gpd).
underground injection also is used to dispose of 144,000 gpd of process wastewater
following fIltratIon. The underground injection operation is regulated by the NPDES
permit pending application by Stauffer for an Underground Injection Control Permit
under the Consolidated Permit Regulations. The basis for wastewater discharge
limitations is a BPJ reissuance of the BPT permit with a reopener clause in the
absence of promulgated BAT effluent guidelines for this category. The original BPT
concentration limits, which are being met currently, are based on water quality
criteria and toxicity. The i~plementation schedule includes priority pollutant
testing per the 2C NPDES application, application for an Underground Injection Control
permit, abandonment of injection well #W800 and design and construction of new wells.
BMP's are employed, with storm water directed to the wastewater treatment system. The
permit requires plugging and abandonment plans and groundwater monitoring for
underground injection facilities. The industry does maintain a hazardous waste
contingency plan.

AL0026328: Kerr - McGee Chemical Corporation, located in Theodore, Alabama, is in the
Inorganic Chemicals Category (40 CFR 415) and manufactures synthetic rutile (95%
titantium) (SIC 2816). Fluctuations in production sometimes force the treating and
discharge of water from the iron oxide pond, which is recycled during normal
production. The total facility discharge is through Outfall 001 to a tributary of
Middle Fork Deer River. Concentration effluent limitations are BPJ in the absence of
promulgated guidelines for this facility and are thought to represent BAT/BCT. The
company operates a french drain system which encircles the iron oxide pond. This
system is to be maintained and operated continuously until the pond is closed and
groundwater sampling indicates that the pond is no longer causing groundwater
pollution. The facility must comply with the effluent limitations by the effective

AROOOl171: Great Lakes Chemical Corporation (SIC 2819), located in El Dorado,
Arkansas, produces elemental bromine and inorganic and organic brominated compounds
(production rate unkown). The facility falls in two effluent guidelines categories:
Organic Chemicals Manufacturing (40 CFR 414) and Inorganic Chemicals Manufacturing (40
CFR 415) and has three outfalls discharging to the Bayou de Loutre and one outfall
discharging to the Little Carnie Bayou, as follows: Outfall 001 - uncontaminated
once-through cooling water and sanitary waste after receiving activated sludge
treatment; and Outfalls 002-004 - uncontaminated stormwater drainage. The extraction
of branine from subsurface brine solutions involves pumping the brine into the top of
a granite stripping tower. Steam and chlorine are injected into the bottom of the
packed column thus stripping the bromine out of the brine solution. The bromine is
purified by fractionation and then dried (by sulfuric acid) and sent to storage under
pressure. Excess chlorine is returned to the stripping tower. This facility
apparently achieves no discharge (except for cooling water) by collecting all
untreated wastewaters (chlorides from salt water, oil and grease, sulfuric acid -
bromine evaporates under atmospheric conditions), adding it to the spent brine
solution, and disposing of it by reinjection into the orginal formation. The
treatment methodology and best management practices enployed at the facility (Great
Lakes Chemical Corporation must comply with the terms of the 1/10/83 consent
Administrative Order issued by the Arkansas Department of Pollution Control and
Ecology) are the basis of the BAT limitations. Monitoring for volatile hydrocarbons
is required due to their reported presence on the application form. As a result,
biomonitoring is also required; however, no BMP Plan is required.

AR0036579: Crompton-Osceola Company, Inc. of Osceola, Arkansas, is in the Textile
Mills Category (40 CFR 410). They produce 138,405 lbs/day of open width corduroy (65%
cotton, 35% synthetic) which places them in the Woven Fabric Finishing Subcategory
(SIC 2757). They discharge process waste (1.3 mgd) from their scouring, bleaching,
dyeing, and finishing operations through one outfall directly to the Mississippi
River. Treatment consists of screening, biological treatment, clarificationy and
~hing before discharge. Digested sludge is disposed of via land application.
Sanitary wastewater is not discharged. Effluent limitations are BAT/BCT = BPT and
based on guidelines in 40 CFR 410.43 using the production rate specified above. The
current permit limitations are higher than the previous permit limits as a result of
an increased production rate, except for COD which is more stringent. Biomonitoring
is required at Outfall 001 to determine effluent toxicity. Tests to determine
lethality of 20~ or greater will be conducted once per quarter for a duration of two
years utilizing a static 24 hr method. The permit does not require the development of
a BMP plan.

CA0004111: Aerojet-General Corporation of Sacramento, California is in the aerospace
industry (SIC 4939, combination industries and systems) and eTIploys 6,000-7,000
persons in the manufacture of liquid rocket engines and solid fuel propulsion motors.
Rocket fuels are produced from hydrogen, oxygen, hydrazine, perchlorates am PPG.
Domestic wastes (.10 mgd) are discharged to Buffalo Creek (American River Basin) at
Outfall 001 following activated sludge package plant treatment; rocket test pad water
is stored in a pond for recycle and is discharged intermittently at OUtfall 002 with
monitoring requirements only. Outfall 004 is used for batch discharges of up to 3
million gallons about 75 times a year from two retention ponds (total 22 acre feet)
used to store and dilute other process wastes which are treated as individual waste
streams as follows: hydrazine - converted to nitrate; fluoride - precipitated with
lime; Cr+6 is reduced to Cr+3, and cyanide is oxidized; and waste propellent is burned
or evaporated. Dilution water is drawn into the retention ponds from Buffalo Creek,
and before discharge occurs, a portion of the effluent is routed through fish tanks to
test its toxicity by bioassay. The basis for BPT limitations in the absence of
guidel ines for this industry is water quality criteria and secondary treatment
standards for domestic wastewater. Effluent limits are based on concentration, but
equivalent mass limits are also included in the permit. Full canpliance was required
following completion of construction by 7/15/81. The facility is currently meeting
NPDES permit limits; however, Aerojet-General is on the Superfund priority list as a
result of groundwater contaTIination.

CA0005061: Chevron Chemical Co.,Ortho Division, in Richmond, CA (On San Francisco Bay, N. of Oakland) is adjacent to the
Chevron USA RefInery and Allied ChemIcal Corp. (see abstract of joint permit, CA0005134). The plant is in the Fertilier
Manufacturing cat~ory (40 CFR 418) and the Pesticides Chemicals Category (40 CFR 455) and produces fertilizers containing
combinatIons of nItrogen, phosphorus, and potash (SIC 2873); and a vaiety of pesticides, fungicides and herbicides (SIC
2879). These chemicals contain various toxic substances such as organophosphates, carbamates, organochlorine compounds, and
heavy metals including Cu, pb & Zn. The majority of the wastes are either incinerated on-site, disposed of in zero-discharge
(evaporation) ponds, or discharged to the POTW. Wastes 001, 002 & 003 are polluted stormwater from process, storage and
loading areas. Waste 004 is 0.264 mgd of blowdown from the incinerator at the difolatan plant. It contains 10% brine and
incinerated pollutants from the difolatan and orthene plant and from the other formulating and packaging plants on-site.
Waste 004 formerly was discharged to the POTW, but the city requested it be removed because the high salt content impaired
the feasibility of reclamation of the treated municipal wastewater for reuse. The waste now is discharged to the Chevron USA
Refinery's 250 ft. channel, where it is diluted to a ratio of 360:1 by mixing with 90 mgd of non-contact cooling water and
12.5 mgd of process wastewater prior to discharge to Castro Creek, tributary to San Pablo Bay. The channel receives
supplemental aeration. The permit limitations below reflect the discharge of Waste 004 at Chevron Chemical, but the effluent
limitations for the Chevron USA/Allied permit currently do not take into account the discharge from Chevron Chemical.
However, the State of CA received an application in 1981 from all three parties for one joint permit, requesting that Chevron
Chemical be named as a permittee and that the effluent limitations be revised accordingly to reflect this additional
wastestream so that Chevron Chemical's permit for waste 004 could be withdrawn. The current mass limitation on Outfall 004
are based on water quality criteria and dilution in the 250 ft. channel. The permittee was to have demonstrated with
bioassay studies by 12/31/80 that the toxicity of this outfall is eliminated upon dilution. The compliance schedule also
calls for studies to minimize the concentrations of arsenic and zinc (by 4/15/78), to analyze the feasibility of a deep water
discharge (by 6/15/80), and of el iminating the discharge althogether by 12/31/83.

CA0005134: Chevron Refinery (Richmond) and Allied Chemical Corp. (Joint Permit): Chevron USA Richmond, CA R finery (on San
Francisco Bay, N. of Oakland) is an integrated refinery (SIC 2911) in the Petroleum Refining Category (40 CPR 419) and uses
365,000 bbl/day of crude oil to produce fuels, lubricants, asphalt and petrochemicals. The plant provides wastewater
treatment for one other facility under the single NPDES permit: Allied Chemical Corporation is in the Inorganic
Chemicals Category (40 CPR 415) and produces sulfuric acid and oleum (SIC 2819) using as part of its raw material
alkylation acid and sulfur from the refinery and then returns 72,000 gpd of mostly blowdown (OUtfall 004) to the Chevron
plant. Treated wastewater from the refinery is discharged at OUtfall 001 (12.5 mgd) and joins 90 mgd of cooling water
discharged at OUtfall 002. The combined effluent flows in d 250 ft. wide channel to OUtfall 003 that discharges to Castro
Creek, which is a tributary to the San Pablo Bay. Process waste treatment for industrial waste str~ams consists of ammonia,
phenol and sulfide stripping, chemical oxidation and precipitation, API separators, neutralization, and land spreadi~
sludge. The combined refinery wastes receive extended aeration treatment (30 acres) and oxidation ponds (197 acres) prior to
combining with discharge 002. The current permit is an extension of BPT limits with a reopener clause pending promulgation
of BAT guidelines. The BPT ~ limits are based on effluent guidelines (40 CFR 419.50). Water quality standards require a
10:1 dilution ratio, that is not currently being attalned, and 96 hr. bioassaxs are required monthly at 001 and 003 to
determine fish toxicity. Extensive monitoring of the receiving water is requlred at 12 stations and at 003. The allowable
change in dissolved oxygen, dissolved sulfide, pH, and un-ionized ammonia in the receiving water is regulated in the permit.
Net limits allow a 5 mg/l increase in TOe in the cooling water at OUtfall 002. A study, to be conducted by Chevron and
completed by 12/31/83, is included in the schedule of implementation to allow the discharger to show justification for an
exception to the Basin plan which requires a 10:1 dilution ration of OUtfall 001. See CA0005061, Chevron Chemical
Corporation.

CA0007005: The Kaiser Refractories Division of Kaiser Allli~inum & Chemical Corp.
operates a seawater magnesium processing plant at Moss Landing, CA (S.W. of San Jose)
and is in the Clay, Gypsum, Refractory, and Ceramic Products Category (40 CFR 451).
The plant withdraws 46 to 60 mgd of seawater from Monterey Bay and produces 720 tpd of
Deadburned Magnesite (SIC 3295, refractory-grade periclase, MgO) by chemical
precipitation with dolomitic lime to produce a magnesium hydroxide slurry, Mg(OH)2'
which is removed in five 2501 thickeners. The overflow is returned as "spent
seawater" to Monterey Bay at Outfall 001 through a 620' outfall at a depth of 43'.
The slurry is washed with fresh water to remove salts and is fired to convert about 90
percent of the hydroxide to magnesium oxide and then to periclase. silts and
settleable solids in the incoming seawater are disposed on land, and reactor grit and
scrubber sol ids are punPed to a ~ for land disposal. The plant plans to expand
production up to 60 mgd of seawater, and the basis for BCT permit limitations are
water quality criteria contained in the State Ocean plan of January 19, 1978, and the
Central Coastal Basin plan of March 20, 1975. A BPJ exception to the Ocean plan
criteria has been granted for TSS limits, and numerous toxic pollutants are limited in
the permit based on the Ocean plan criteria following initial dilution of 60:1
(seawater to effluent) in the dilution zone. The toxic substances in the effluent are
claimed by Kaiser to be those present in the intake water initially. An extensive
water column monitoring program at six stations in Monterey Bay for light
transmittance, coliform organisms, turbidity, pH, D.O., temperature, and salinity is
required quarterly. Bioassay testing of the effluent is required every two months
according to CA Guidelines for performing state Acute Toxicity Bioassays in order to
determine the "Toxici ty Concentration." Bottom sediment sampling for benthic organism
diversity and sediment particle size distribution is also required every three years.
The permit has no schedule of compliance nor BMP plan requirement.

CO-0001066: The Great Western Sugar Company of Ft. Morgan, Colorado, (N.E. of Denver)
is in the Sugar processing Category (40 CFR 409, Subpart A) and processes about 3460
tons of sugar beets per day (SIC 2063). An average of 4.1 mgd of barometric
condensate water is discharged at Outfall 001 to the South Platte River after passing
through a cooling pond. Flume wash water is recycled and has a zero discharge limit.
Interim limitations are the same as for the previous permit and are somewhat more
stringent than set out in the effluent guidelines. They are based on 0.5 lb BOD-5/ton
of beets, which was BPJ before the effluent guidelines were promulgated. Final BCT
limitations become effective October 1, 1983, and are based on BPJ, using the old
numerical limits for BAT, but allowing a discharge of barometric condenser water and
not requiring sealing of the ponds. The beet sugar industry has agreed that they
can meet these limits. The limits for BOD are on a net basis requiring monitoring of
intake water. An implementation plan for compliance with finals limits was due
October 1, 1981.

CO-0032158: Eastman Kodak Company, Kodak Colorado Division, operates a photographics
products manufacturing facility near Windsor, Colorado (50 miles north of Denver).
This facility is in the Photographic point Source Category (40 CFR 459) (SIC 3861).
Industrial wastewater is generated from seven operations: (1) lithoplate
manufacturing; (2) support production facilities; (3) film support manufacturing; (4)
film and paper sensitizing complex; (5) silver recovery from sensitizing complex; (6)
utilities; and (7) demineralization of intake water. Sanitary wastes are discharged
to the PO'IW. Several recovery and treatment processes are used to minimize pollutant
loading, including: waste acid regeneration, sand filter for silver recovery; and
reverse osmosis demineralization. Wastewater treatment consists of two aerated
lagoons followed by rapid sand filters with coagulant addition. Discharge is at
Outfall 001 (1.0 mgd) to a water quality limited segment of the Cache La poudre River.
The basis for concentration limitations is as follows: (1) State Effluent Standards -
BOD, oil and Grease, TSS; (2) BPJ - dissolved Aluminum, total phenols, ammonia, non-
degradation of effluent but monitoring only for total boron, total chromium, and total
zinc; (3) Water Quality Standards - total copper, free cyanide, chlorinated phenols,
ammonia (also BPJ); and (4) Bioassay (study conducted by Kodak) and water quality
standards for total silver. Seasonal ammonia limits are based on an instream toxicity
level of 0.1 ng/l of un-ionized a'1\l1\onia based on stream flow; maximum ammonia limits
are set with a peaking factor of 1.5X. There are monitoring only requirements for
Kjeldahl Nitrogen, nitrate, phosphorus, residual chlorine and ethylene dichloride.
Ethylene dichloride may be limited in the future. Outfall 002 to Law Ditch is
authorized only as an energency bypass.

CO-0033537: The Coors porcelain Company in Grand Junction, Colorado, (near west
central border) manufactures a variety of ceramic products (SIC 3262, 3269) including
nose cones for missiles. The facility is in the Clay, Gypsum, Refractory, and
Ceramics Category (40 CFR 451). Outfall 001 consists of 100,000 gpd of sanitary waste
(Including three other businesses), non-contact cooling water, and wash water from the
porcelain plant, all of which is treated in an activated sludge package plant prior to
discharge to Leach Creek, which flows into the Colorado Ri ver il1Ul1ediately. The plant
has design capacity of 200,000 gpd and eventually will serve as a pretreatment plant
when connection is made to the Grand Junction Regional WWTP. The basis for BCT
limitations is State Effluent Standards for sanitary wastes and salinity regUlations
for the Colorado River. Since porcelain (aluminum oxide) is neither soluble nor a
toxic product, it is not regulated in the permit. DMR results show the plant operates
well within the permit limits.

C00034045: Rio Blanco Oil Shale Company operates an experimental modified in-situ
(MIS) retorting facility in Rio Blanco County, Colorado, as a participant in the
Colorado Joint Review Process. Although the operation is currently suspended, the
permit still remains in effect. Currently, two MIS retorts are completed with the
principal product being raw shale oil at a maximum production rate of 1,000 barrels
per day. There is not an effluent guidelines category for this facilty. Discharge of
mine dewatering water to Corral Gulch is acceptable only when upset conditions or
necessary maintenance make reinjection impossible. There are two discharge points at
the facility: Discharge 001 is domestic wastewater treated by activated sludge,
aerobic digestion, and chlorination. This outfall also serves as an alternate
discharge point for mine dewatering/surface runoff from the West Retention Pond. All
wastewater collected in the West Pond is used for dust control or reinjected,
evaporated, or discharged via Outfall 002. The BPJ basis for this permit is
nondegradation of existing water standards, applied to protect downstream agricultural
uses. BOD, TSS, pH, total chlorine residual, oil and grease, and pH limitations are
based on state effluent standards. TDS limitations are in effect to protect
agricultural uses. Additional monitoring to show compliance with Basic Standards and
to provide a future data base is also required on the effluent from mine dewatering. A
SPeC Plan is required.

CO-0035394: AMAX, Inc., Mt. Emmons project in Crested Butte, Colorado, is an
exploration and development project associated with the reopening of an inactive lead
and zinc mine to recover molybdenum. (SIC 1061). Wastewater includes mine drainage,
tailings leachate, and runoff from disturbed areas. The facility is in the Ore Mining
and Dressing Category (40 CFR 440, Subpart E). All wastewater discharged to Coal Creek
must meet Colorado Bl - Cold Water Fishery Water Quality Standards. Strea~ flow is
< 4.6 cfs at Q7-l0; however, effective ~-10 is zero because the town of Crested Butte
uses the water from Coal Creek as its domestic supply with water rights of 11 cfs.
Wastewater (400-600 gpm or .58-.84 mgd) is treated via a Swift Electroclear treatment
plant (lime to pH 10.8, flocculation, electrocoagulation, electroflocculation, filter,
pH adjust to 6-8. The treatment plant discharge is at Outfall 001. The design
capacity of the plant is 2.9 mgd. Limitations are water quality based and are
concentration limits because of irregular production and water flow. AMAX has the
option to perform bioassay testing in order to establish different limits for toxic
metals in the discharge. Discharges 002, 003, 004 and 005 are subject to BMF's.

unbleached linerboard by use of the kraft pulping process and corrugating medium by
use of neutral sulfite semi-chemical processes (NSSC) (SIC 2631). Additional pulp is
produced by use of a recycle fiber facility. The pulps are combined into final
products in the paper mill. This operation is a fully integrated kraft-NSSC ~
recovery operation. The production capacity of the facility is reported to be 1904
tpd linerboard and 408 tpd corrugating medium. Outfall 001 is a total plant discharge
to the Amelia River consisting of 24.6 mgd process wastewater, 0.6 mgd demineralizer
wastewater, 1.4 mgd boiler feed water, 0.1 mgd air cooling potable water supply, and
variable stormwater. Treatment consists of a flow-through grit chamber, primary
clarification, and activated sludge. The demineralizer wastestreams are combined for
neutralization. Permit limitations are more stringent than BPT guidelines to prevent
backsliding [40 CFR 122.44(1)], and are based on water quality considerations in the
Amelia River. A BMF plan is required to be implememted no later than l~ months after
the effective date of the permit.

FLOOOll39: Florida Wire and Cable Company in Jacksonville, Florida, produces high
carbon wire, multiple wire strand, gal vanized wire and gal vanized mul tiple wire strand
(SIC Codes 3315 and 3479). They are in the Iron and Steel Manufacturing Category (40
CFR 420) because of their galvanizing (39 tpd) (Subpart L) and acid pickling (136.23
tpd) (Subpart I) operations. The facility has nine outfalls which discharge to a
tributary of the East Branch of the Cedar River: Outfalls 001 and 003 are sanitary
wastes only, Outfall 002 consists of process water from the cleaning house and
galvanizing lines, and Outfalls 004 through 009 consist of untreated stormwater
runoff. The 1900 gpd effluent at Outfall 001 has anaerobic treatment and digestion,
chlorine disinfection and slow sand filtration. Treatment at Outfall 003 (1800 gpd)
consists of an extended aeratIon plant with chlorinated discharge. The process
wastewater (72,000 gpd), prior to discharge at Outfall 002, is treated by
equalization, neutralization, flocculation and settling in a clarifier. The decant
goes to multi-roedia polishing filters and is then discharged. The permit regulates
Outfalls 001, 002, 003, and an internal monitoring point after final treatment of the
process effluent but before mixing with other effluents (designated Outfall 002A).
The limits at Outfall 002A are based on effluent guidelines and reflect BAT for lead
and zinc, and OCT for TSS, Oil and Grease and pH. The final limits for Outfall 002
are based on Florida water quality standards. The limits on the sanitary wastes from
Outfalls 001 and 003 are based on secondary treatment standards and State
Certification requirements. There is no schedule of compliance, but a BMP Plan is
required .

FL0002488: Monsanto Textiles Company of Gonzales, Florida, (pensacola area) is in the
Plastics and Synthetics Category (40 CFR 416) and produces nylon fiber and
intermediate chemicals (SIC Codes 2869, 2873, 2824, and 2821). There are four
outfalls: Outfall 001 (37.2 mgd max) consists of treated process wastewater from the
1nanufacture of nylon fibers, resins and intermediates such as adipic acid and
hexanethylene diaminei Outfall 002 (2.98 mgd max) is non-contact cooling condensate,
well water and storm water; and 003 and 004 (0.0084 m:.;d avg.) consist of possibly
contaminated storm water from diked fuel storage areas. The discharges enter the
Escambia River, a Class III water suitable for recreation and the management and
propagation of fish and wildlife. Treatment at Outfall 001 consists of settling,
skimming, and neutralization. OUtfall 002 is a direct discharge without treatment.
Effluent limitations for 003 and 004 apply to the effluent from oil-water separators.
However, the discharge from diked areas shall not be subject to monitoring and
effluent limitations if: (1) the dike drainage does not go to an oil-water separator;
(2) the facility has a valid SPeC plan (40 CFR 112); and (3) BMF's consisting of a
portable oil skimmer (or similar device) or absorbent material to remove oil and
grease (as indicated by the absence of a sheen) are used imnediately prior to
discharge. The basis for limitations are Escanbia Bay water quality studies and
negotiations between EPA Region 4 personnel and Monsanto personnel. Mass limits are
taken from previous permits and from a wasteload allocation by the Florida Dept. of
Environmental Regulation. Concentration limits are State of Florida requirements
also. Net limits were approved originally by the Regional Administrator in 1975. The
schedule of compliance calls for attainment of effluent limits by the effective date
in an unspecified manner.

FL0002500: The Pensacola Naval Air station, located in the Florida panhandle, generates a combination of domestic sewage and
industrial wastes resultIng from a wIde range of aircraft and military-related activities. Domestic sewage from 14,500
residents (1.51 ngd in 1979) is collected in 36.6 miles of sanitary sewer, and industrial wastes (0.75 ngd in 1979) are
collected in a separate 4.3 mile industrial sewer system, which transports wastes to the industrial waste treatment portion
of the joint municipal/industrial POTW. The discharge is to a water quality limited section of Pensacola BaX' The
industrial processes contributing wastewater include aircraft maintenance, water treatment, cooling water, boIlers, vehicle
cleaning and maintenance, painting and corrosion control, petroleum handling and storage, battery rework, photolabs, and
firefighting training areas. The domestic waste portion of the treatment plant is a traditional activated sludge plant.
Industrial wastes are pretreated separately by comminutor, metals precipitation and clarification, after which 0.75 ngd of
primary treated domestIc waste joins the industrial waste flow for activated sludge treatment for ~henol oxidation. The
effluent from the "phenol aeration pond" is returned to the domestic activated sludge aeration basIns for further joint
treatment, followed by a polishing pond, chlorination and discharge. Sludge receives aerobic digestion and sand bed drying.
The plant was expanded and upgraded in 1979-80 from the original capacity of 2.95 ngd to 4.0 ngd. Despite the increase in
capacity, the basis for the current mass limits for BOD and TSS are the secondary treatment standards (30/45 ng/l) based on
the original flow of 2.95 ngd and the previous permit limits. The basis for the numerous other tOXIC and nonconventional
pollutant limits is water quality criteria and considerations taken from the EPA Red Book and Blue Book and applied as end-
of-pipe concentrations with equivalent mass limits. There are an unspecified number of the industrial operations listed
above which Clischarq",directly. General concentration limits for those activities are also in the permit and typical limits
are as follows: O&G at 10/15 mg/l; BOD & TSS at 25 to 50 ng/l; metals at 0.5/1.0 ng/l; phenol at 1.0/2.0 ng/l; chlorine
residual at 0.2 ng/l (max.); and Temperature at 95/100°F. Although there is no requirement for a BMP plan, these limits
apply to storm sewers as well, and monitoring for these various discharges ranges from daily to monthly to quarterly. In
certifying the permit, which was written by EPA Region 4, the State of Florida has required at least 90% removal of BOD and
TSS at the treatment plant. The schedule of compliance for the municipal-tYPe permit specifically contains a guidelines
reopener clause. The permit is also unusual for a municipal discharge because of the extensive number of toxic and
nonconventional pollutants that are regulated.

FL0002666: Electro-Phos Corporation, located in Mulberry, Florida, is in the
Inorganic Chemicals Category (40 CFR 415) and produces elemental phosphorus by the
electric furnace reduction process (SIC 2819). Electro-Phos operates a total water
recirculation system which results in zero discharge of process waste. Only one---
discharge has occurred to the North Prong of the Alafia River since 1975, which was
the result of an abnormally wet rainy season in Central Florida. In order to prevent
any discharges from occurring, Electro-Phos "closed-off" the plant by constructing a
surface runoff collection system. The effluent limitations at this facility are BPJ
in the absence of promulgated guidelines, and are enforced in the event a catastrophic
rainfall should occur.

FL0037869: The st. Johns River power plant (SJRPP) is a new 1,200 megawatt coal-fired power plant in the steam Electric
power Generation Category (40 CFR 423) under construction with a scheduled canpletion date of Apr,il 1987. The plant 1S
located on a 1,656 acre site northeast of Jacksonville, Florida, adjacent to the existing Norths1de Generating Station.
SJRPP is jointly owned by the Jacksonville Electric Authority and the Florida Power and Light Company, but will be operated
by JEA. Northside is owned and operated by JEA. Both facilities will share a common effluent channel which discharges to the
estuarine portion of the st. Johns River. From the SJRPP site, Outfalls 001, 003 (during operation), 005, 006, 007 & 008
discharge to the river, but Outfalls 002, 003 (during construction), 004 & 009 discharge to Browns Creek, a freshwater
tributary. Generally, the New Source Performance Standards for this category were used to set llinits for Outfalls 005, 006,
007 & 008 (40 CFR 423.15) and for outfall 004 & 009 (40 CFR 423.45, Area Runoff), but water quality criteria and dilution in
a 17 acre mixing zone are used to set llinits for chlorine and temperature at Outfall 001. Wastewater sources, treatment, and
rationale for each OUtfall follow: Outfall 001 combined flow (36.2 ITgd) of normal plant operating wastes and waste heat
discharge (003, 005, 006, 007 & 008) that 1S lim1ted by water quality criteria for temperature, the 96-hr LC50 value for Blue
Crab of 0.10 1Tg/1 for TRO (Total Residual Oxidants--the salt water equivalent to total residual chlorine, resulting fran the
rapid oxidation of iodine, branine and other chemicals by chlorine as it is converted to chloride, and the 96-hr LC50 value
for Capitella capitata, a polychaete worm, of 0.18 1Tg/1 for copper. Temperature cannot exceed 105 F in the mixing zone as a
result of the combined discharge fran both power plants, with the maxlinl1rn temperature set at 96 F at outfall 001 for SJRPP.
outfall 002 - effluent from the 61 acre-feet construction runoff sediment control pond (0.45 rngd avg.), including effluent
fran the sanitary wastewater treatment plant (003) and the concrete washing settling pond, and regulated by BPJ for TSS to
protect benthic organisms in Browns Creek and by Florida Administrative Code for O&G, total residual chlorine-& pH.
Outfall 003 treated sanitary wastewater discharged (30,000 gpd max.) to 002 and regulated by secondary treatment standards
(40 CFR 133), with a BPJ rnax. limit of 60 1Tg/1 for BOD & TSS to conform with the proposed monitoring frequency. Outfall 004
coal pile runoff sedimentation pond overflow (normal discharge to 006, but discharge to Browns Creek only during intense
rainfall) and regulated by BPJ. Outfall 005 - cooling tower blowdown discharging to 001, for which dechlorination facilities
likely will be needed upon startup, and regulated by promulgated 423.15 (i) & (j), with proposed 423.15 (j) & (k) as BPJ
requirements for toxic and priority pollutants. outfall 006 - central waste treatment facility effluent (1.92 ITgd) receiving
flow fran 004, 007 & 008 and providing treatment cons1sting of equalization, chemical addition, clarification, filtration,
and final neutralization; concentration and mass limits are set by pranulgated 423.15(c) for low flow wastes and 423.45 for
coal pile runoff and by proposed 423.15 (c), (1)& (m). The permittee has received a variance for 006 fran certain water
quality criteria and a mixing zone for other pollutants since ambient levels in the St. Johns River already exceed Florida
Water Quality Standards. Outfall 007 - metal cleaning wastes discharged to 006 and regulated by promulgated 423.15 (f) and
proposed 423.15 (d), except for BPJ limits for phosphate and COD. Outfall 008 - oily waste collection basin effluent
discharging to 006 and regulated by promulgated and proposed 423.15 (c) for low volume wastes. Outfall 009 - solid waste
(fly ash) runoff sedimentation pond overflow to Browns Creek regulated by BPJ. using BPJ, boiler blowdown is not regulated
s~nce it is used as make-up for the flue gas desulfurization system. The schedule of compliance calls for numerous reports
and studies including priority pollutant monitoring, solid waste landfill liner permeability report, flow reports, excess
volume control report, water supply assessment, groundwater monitoring, and bioassay testing. Many of the other environmental
requirements in the permit are not specific NPDES program requirements, such as buffer zones around wetlands. The permit
does not require a formal Bt1P plan, although runoff will be contained and treated. The permit does contain d special

FL0037869: The st. Johns River Power plant (SJRPP) is a new 1,200 megawatt coal-fired power plant in the Steam Electric
Power Generation Category (40 CFR 423) under construction with a scheduled completion date of Ap~il 1987. The plant 1S
located on a 1,656 acre site northeast of Jacksonville, Florida, adjacent to the existing NOrths1de Generating station.
SJRPP is jointly owned by the Jacksonville Electric Authority and the Florida Power and Light Company, but will be operated
by JEA. Northside is owned and operated by JEA. Both facilities will share a common effluent channel which discharges to the
estuarine portion of the St. Johns River. From the SJRPP site, Outfalls 001, 003 (during operation), 005, 006, 007 & 008
discharge to the river, but Outf~lls 002, 003 (during construction), 004 & 009 discharge to Browns Creek, a freshwater
tributary. Generally, the New Source Performance Standards for this category were used to set llinits for Outfalls 005, 006,
007 & 008 (40 CFR 423.15) and for Outfall 004 & 009 (40 CFR 423.45, Area Runoff), but water quality criteria and dilution in
a 17 acre mixing zone are used to set llinits for chlorine and temperature at Outfall 001. Wastewater sources, treatment, and
rationale for each Outfall follow: Outfall 001 - combined flow (36.2 mgd) of normal plant operating wastes and waste heat
discharge (003, 005, 006, 00"7 & 008) that is l1mited by water quality criteria for temperature, the 96-hr LC50 value for Blue
Crab of 0.10 mg/l for TRO (Total Residual oxidants--the salt water equivalent to total residual chlorine, resulting from the
rapid oxidation of iodine, bromine and other chemicals by chlorine as it is converted to chloride, and the 96-hr LC50 value
for Capitella capitata, a polychaete worm, of 0.18 mg/l for copper. Temperature cannot exceed 105 F in the mixing zone as a
result of the combined discharge from both power plants, with the maxlinum temperature set at 96 F at Outfall 001 for SJRPP.
Outfall 002 effluent from the 61 acre-feet construction runoff sediment control pond (0.45 mgd avg.), including effluent
from the sanitary wastewater treatment plant (003) and the concrete washing settling pond, and regulated by BPJ for TSS to
protect benthic organisms in Browns Creek and by Florida Administrative Code for O&G, total residual chlorine-& pH.
Outfall 003 treated sanitary wastewater discharged (30,000 gpd max.) to 002 and regulated by secondary treatment standards
(40 CFR 133), with a BPJ max. limit of 60 mg/l for BOD & 1$S to conform with the proposed monitoring frequency. Outfall 004
coal pile runoff sedimentation pond overflow (normal discharge to 006, but discharge to Browns Creek only during intense
rainfall) and regulated by SPJ. Outfall 005 cooling tower blowdown discharging to 001, for which dechlorination facilities
likely will be needed upon startup, and regulated by promulgated 423.15 (i) & (j), with proposed 423.15 (j) & (k) as BPJ
requirements for toxic and priority pollutants. Outfall 006 central waste treatment facility effluent (1.92 mgd) receiving
flow from 004, 007 & 008 and providing treatment consist1ng of equalization, chemical addition, clarification, filtration,
and final neutralization; concentration and mass limits are set by promulgated 423.l5(c) for low flow wastes and 423.45 for
coal pile runoff and by proposed 423.15 (c), (l)& (m). The permittee has received .1 variance for 006 from certain water
quality criteria and a mixing zone for other pollutants since ambient levels in the st. Johns River already exceed Florida
Water Quality Standards. Outfall 007 - metal cleaning wastes discharged to 006 and regulated by promulgated 423.15 (f) and
proposed 423.15 (d), except for BPJ limits for phosphate and COD. Outfall 008 oily waste collection basin effluent
discharging to 006 and regulated by promulgated and proposed 423.15 (c) for low volume wastes. Outfall 009 - solid waste
(fly ash) runoff sedirrentation pond overflow to Browns Creek regulated by BPJ. using BPJ, boiler blowdown is not regulated
since it is used as make-up for the flue gas desulfurization system. The schedule of compliance calls for numerous reports
and studies including priority pollutant monitoring, solid waste landfill liner permeability report, flow reports, excess
volume control report, water supply assessment, groundwater monitoring, and bioassay testing. Many of the other environmer.tal
reguirements in the permit are not specific NPDES program requirements, such as buffer zones around wetlands. The permit
does not require a formal BMP plan, although runoff will be contained and treated. The permit does contain a special
reopener clause.

GA0003778: J. P. stevens & Company, Inc., located in Louisville, Georgia ( 50 miles
sw of Augusta), is in the Wool Finishing Subcategory (40 CFR 410.20) of the Textile
Mill Category. The facility receives nonfinished cloth (greige cloth) consisting of
man-made fibers, natural fibers, and blends, which are prepared, dyed, and finished
(SIC's 2231 and 2262) for shipment to final users. The Louisville plant has a current
production capacity of 28,722 lb/d, which is being expanded to 80,000 lb/d during the
permit period. The facility discharges to the Ogeechee River via a single outfall:
001--treated process wastewater (current avg. flow, 1.5 rngd; avg. flow after
expansion, 4 rngd). The existing wastewater treatment systaTI consists of an anaerobic
lagoon, an aerobic lagoon, and a polishing lagoon with a submerged diffuser for
discharge to the river. Some of the treated effluent is land disposed. The existing
facilities are to be expanded and upgraded to an activated sludge system prior to the
plant expansion. Mass limitations for BOD-5, TSS, COD, phenols, sulfide, and Cr(~
are based on BPT effluent guidelines, with a BPJ assumption that BPT=BAT for COD,
phenols, sulfide and Cr(t). (EPA published final BAT guidelines on 09/02/82, and the
BAT 1 irni ts were equal to the proposed BPT 1 irni ts for these pollutants.) Two sets of
limits are provided; one set for the current facility and another for the expanded
facility, but both utilize the S~TIe production-based factors (units of kg/kkg): BOD-5
--11.2/22.4; COD--81.5/163.0; TSS--17.6/35.2; sulfide--0.14/0.28; phenols--0.07/0.14;
and Cr(t)--0.07/0.14. The permit contains no compliance schedule and a BMP plan is
not required, but it does have a special requirement that the facility comply with
previously approved sludge management proposals (Engineering Report, 12 February
1982). The permit includes reopener clauses for toxic pollutants and other applicable

Organic Chemica s Category (40 CFR 414) and the plastics & synthetics Category (40 CFR 416) (SIC 2821 and 2869) and produces
about 2.5 million pounds of ethylene and propylene and about 1 million pounds each of high (HDPE) and low density (LOPE)
polyethylene per day on an 800 acre site. Process wastewater (2.1 mgd at 001) fran the ethylene and polyethylene plants,
cooling tower blowdown and storm water runoff receive treatment consisting of equalization, neutralization, chemical
addition, flocculation, primary clarification, activated sludge, and final clarification prior to discharge to a final
polishing pond. OUtfalls 002 & 003 drain the pol}'2thylene areas and are equipped wi th pellet traps, and OUtfalls 004 and 005
drain the ethylene, utility and storage tank areas and pass through settling ponds. Discharges are to the Mississippi River.
Effluent limitations for process wastes were derived using BPJ, revoked effluent guidelines and self-monitoring data. The
present treatment system achieves better effluent quality tFlail the model BPI' gUIdelines. Final permit limits for BOD and TSS
were established at 22/36 mg/l based on 2.1 mgd flow. oil and Grease limits were based on 10 rrg/l. A variability factor of
2 was used for all conventional pollutants. Average daily limits on COD and phenols were 147 mg/l and 0.07 mg/l,
respectively. Phenol limits were based on expected BAT effluent guidelines. A bioassay on several species in August 1980
was negative and thus, a phased monitoring approach fortoxic pollutants was adopted. Monthly monitoring for 6 months on
selected priority pollutants (fluorene, PNA's and copper) is required as well as a canplete priority pollutant analysis by
OC/MS within 3nunthsof permit effective date. Monitoring data could result in permit modification including revised
effluent limits or increased wastewater treatnEnt. An interim limit of 0.1 rrg/l on benzene (final limit of 0.05 mg/l) was
established to serve as an indicator for toluene xylene and other organics in debutanized aranatic concentrate (DAC).
Fifteen (15) hazardous substances are used as raw materials or are products or by-products but no permit limits were
established because of low discharge levels. The four storm water discharges must be monitored for one year. A BMP li'lan is
required to be prepared within six months and implemented within twelve months of permit effective date. Site-specifIC BMPs
address wastewater treatment sludges, polishing pond dredgings and chrane treatment sludges. The land farm areas, surface
runoff and drums containing hazardous substances also are subject to BMP requirements.

IA0000205: The Monsanto Agricultural Products Co. in Muscatine, Iowa, (S.E. quadrant of state on Mississippi River) is in
the Pesticides Manufacturing Category (40 CFR 455) and in the plastics and Synthetics Category (40 CFR 416). The plant
produces organa-nitrogen agricultural herbicides (SIC 2879), chemical intermediates (SIC 2869), and ABS plastic
(Acrylonitrile, Butadiene, Styrene) (SIC 2821). production of registered herbicides as well as other production figures is
proprietary. MIOOnium chloride is produced as a byproduct. Process wastewater from agricultural chemicals production (0.75
ngd) is treated in the "AG" wastewater treatment plant consisting of neutralization, sedimentation, equalization, activated
sludge, and sedimentation. process wastewater from ABS production (0.4 mgd) is treated in the "ABS" wastewater treatment
plant consisting of screening, sedimentation, neutralization/chemical precipitation, flocculation, dissolved air flotation,
activated slud~e, and sedimentation. Treated and dewatered sludge from both treatment plants is landfilled. Non process
water and cool1ng water (7.9 ngd) are combined with the effluent from both treatment plants before discharge at Outfall 001
(9.15 mgd total) to the Mississippi River. A BAT/OCT permit was originally drafted in 1981 by EPA's NEIC based largely on
production figures, guidance frcrn EPA's Effluent Guidelines Division, and BPJ. However, the permit was objected to by
Monsanto in five areas: (1) the BMP plan requirement was felt to be duplicative of the firm's existing BMP plan that is
regarded as state-of-the-art, (2) CAC scrubber water monitoring, (3) allowances for BOD, COD, ammonia and TSS for
intermediate processes, (4) priority pollutant sampling for the lifetime of the permit, and (5) imposing BAT requirements
based on BPJ prior to prcrnu1gation of final BAT guidelines. As the ccrnpany was planning a 25% increase in production in 1982
and because effluent guidelines were not available, the State of Iowa decided to issue a BPT permit with a guidelines
reopener clause following n~otiations on the five issues with the ccrnpany. The issues were resol ved as follows: (1)
Monsanto was to maintain thelr BMP program in the absence of BMP guidelines; (2) CAC scrubber water will not be monitored as
a separate outfall, (3) an allowance of 1.5 to 1 for intermediate processes was established instead of 4 or 5 to 1 desired by
Monsanto or 1 to 1 as proposed by NEIC, (4) priority pollutant monitoring for 5 pollutants will be required for 18 months,
instead of 5 years, but effluent limitations will be imposed if high concentrations are discovered, and (5) the current
permit with a reopener clause was written in the absence of BAT guidelines. The limits for ammonia originally proposed by
NEIC were maintained in the present permit. Bioassays conducted in 1980 by EPA Region 7 were positive for algae as a result
of the herbicide discharge, but negative for fish, water fleas, and the Ames Test for mutagenicity.

IA2900900: Iowa Army Ammunition Plant located in Middletown, Iowa (S.E. corner of the
state, near Burlington) is in the Explosives Manufacturing Category (40 CFR 457). The
facility manufactures large caliber projectiles, missile warheads and salute rounds
(SIC 3483). The facility has 19 outfalls discharging to three creeks tributary to the
Skunk River. Most outfalls are intermittent, discharging only when producing
ammunition. Most outfalls are discharges of contaminated wastewater resulting from
explosives loading operations. Treatment of these discharges includes collection
sumps, settling tanks, diatomaceous earth filters, and activated carbon filters. This
treabnent is considered BAT even though there are no BA'r regulations for the
explosives category. Metal cleaning operations also have waste treatment consisting
of neutralization, chemical addition and precipitation with lime, alum and pol~ner.
Domestic wastes, car wash rack wastes, X-ray film processing rinse water and boiler
blowdown are treated in a sewage treatment facility consisting of an Imhoff tank, a
trickling filter, clarifiers, chlorine contact chamber and sludge drying. Some wastes
also are discharged to an evaporation pond. Limits are set for each outfall and are
based on BPJ for BAT level treatment using documented achievable treatment levels, EPA
treatment documents, the Treatability Manual, the Metal Finishing Draft Development
Document, and state water quality standards. The schedule of compliance calls for a
BMP Plan in six months and a treabnent system for coal pile run-off by 9-1-84.

IL0000329: Granite City Steel - Division of National Steel Corporation, located in
Granite City, Illinois, is in the Iron and Steel Manufacturing Category (40 CPR 420)
and manufactures 7,705,000 lbs of rolled steel per day (SIC 3312). Plant operations
result in an average discharge of ~5 mgd of treated process water from Outfall 001 to
Horseshoe Lake. Primary treatment facilities consist of scale pits and holding and
skimming ponds, where oil and scale are continuously reclaimed. Secondary treatment
consists of two biological stabilization basins, one (250 acres) treats wastewater
from the Blast Furnace section, and the other (100 acres) treats wastewater from the
Steelworks section. Twenty-five (25) mgd of the effluent from these basins receive ~
adjustment and breakpoint chlorination for ammonia reduction, deep bed filtration, and
dechlorination with sulfur dioxide. The remaining flow (about 40 mgd) is recycled
back to the manufacturing facilities. Mass and concentration BAT effluent limitations
at Outfalls OOlA and 001 are effective 7/1/84 and are based onUlinois Pollution
Control Board Rules, or effluent guidelines, whichever is more stringent. Internal
monitoring at OOlA was established since monitoring at the point of discharge was
impracticable due to dilution. Limitations for naphthalene and tetrachloroethylene
applicable to cold rolling operations have been deferred until National Steel has
completed a study to collect information and data on these pollutants at their
facility. The receiving stream must also be monitored quarterly for pH, temperature,
ammonia, lead, and phenol to assure compliance with water quality standards.

facility is in the Metal Molding and Casting Category (Foundries) (40 CFR 464) and
discharges to Waukegan Harbor (Outfalls 001 and 006), Lake Michigan (Outfall 007), and
North Ditch (Outfalls 014, 015, and 016). The assembly plant contributes discharges
to Outfall 001 - noncontact cooling water and stOD~ runoff, Outfalls 002-005 - storm
runoff, and Outfall 006 - engine tank test cooling water. The manufacturing plant,
where parts are die cast, machined, and plated, contributes discharges to Outfall 007
and 014 - non-contact cooling water and stormwater runoff, and Outfalls 008, 015, and
016 - stormwater runoff. There is no treatment of stormwater and cooling water
discharges. All process water from~egreasing, cleaning, and platiny operations is
discharged to the sanitary sewer. The total volume discharged is approximately 2.7
mgd. The permit defines the best available treatment (BAT) for the control of PCBs to
be a BMP Plan. If at the end of the interim period (6/30/84), the company can -
de..llonstrate that the final FCB limit of 1.0 ppb is not technically or economically
feasible, despite the implementation of a BMP Plan, the permit may be subject to

and is in the Iron and Steel Manufacturing Category (40 CFR 420). The production
facility includes a blast furnace, sintering plant, electric and basic oxygen
furnaces, and continuous and hot forming operations (SIC 3312). There are six
discharges to Lake Michigan, as follows: Outfalls 001 and 002 - noncontact condenser
cooling water (40 mgd); Outfall 004 - noncontact cooling water from the basic oxygen
process, and continuous caster and gas cooling tower water (47 mgd); Outfall 005 -
overflow from the process water recycle systern; and Outfall 00t! - backwash from the
lake water intake screen (1.0 mgd). Outfall 006 consists of process water overflow to
the Calumet River; however, there has not been a discharge since 1981. An internal
monitoring point is established on the overflow from the process water clarifier
(005A). Effluent limits on Outfall 001-004 are based on State Effluent Standards,
except temperature which is based on seasonal water qual~nsiderations. Limits on
TSS and Oil, Fats and Grease for Outfall 005A are based on State Effluent Standards.
Limits on Lead and zinc are based on BPJ. Monitoring at Outfalls 002-006 for toxic
metals, cyanide, phenols, fluoride, iron, manganese and oil, fats and grease is
required semi-annually. If there is no significant discharge or state effluent limits
are not exceeded after two samples, then the IEPA will review the monitoring
requirements. A priority pollutant monitoring program at Outfalls 005 and U06 for 13
base/neutral toxics and ammonia is also required. A schedule of compliance calls for
submittal of an engineering report on a hydraulic study of process, noncontact cooling
and stormwater runoff by 3/1/84.

IL!300393!3: The N-Ren Corporation, st. Paul Ammonia Production Division of East
Dubuque, IL, (very N.W. -tip of state) is in the Fertilizer Manufacturing Category (43
CFR 418) and produces nitrogenous fertilizers (SIC 2873), including ~nonia (Part
418.2(3), urea (Part 418.3(3), ammonium nitrate (Part 418.40), and nitric acid (Part
418.5(3). Treated process waste (0.39 mgd avg. & 0.76 mgd max.) is discharged to the
Mississippi River through Outfall 13131 and consists of cooling tower, boiler &
canpressor blowdown, softener regenerant, water plant backwash, and surface runoff.
All process wastes are treated in a lagoon, but first cool ir1g tower blowdown receives
chromium reduction with S02, and the pH of the waste streams is adjustej with lime
sludge from the water treabnent plant. The basis for arrmonia nitrogen mass limitations
is water quality criteria using ORSANCO's Ohio River Water Quality Standard of 0.135
mg/l (NH3, unionized) in the receiving stream. The ORSANCO standard was used since the
Mississippi River already exceeds EPA's Red Book standard of 0.132 mg/l (NH-3,
unionized) a~j the State standard of 1.5 mg/l (NH3-N) would allow a discharge having a
concentration of 5,8130 mg/l (NH3-N), which is Ilnacceptab1e. using the ORSANCO
standard and river conditions of pH = 8.4, TEmperature = 23.6°C, a flow of 13,477 cfs,
and a ,nixing zone equal to 25% of the river flow, t.he water quali ty standard is
maintained with a max1mum mass discharge of 293 kg/d. The basis of other limits is
not given; hov..ever, the state considered all limits to be equivalent to BCT/BAT.
There is no schedule of compliance, and a BMP plan was not required as BMP regulations
were not yet issued at the time of permit writing.

IN0001350: The Container Corporation of America plant in Carthage, IN (30 miles east
of Indianapolis) is in the pulp, Paper and Paperboard Category (40 CFR 430.50 Subpart
E, paperboard from Wastepaper) and produces rolls of corrugated paperboard from
recycled corrugated containers (SIC 2631). production is 113 tpd, for 255 days per year.
However, the discharge of treated process waste at Outfall 001 is intermittent (180
days per year) during periods of high strea~ flow in the Big Blue River (Q7-10 = 24
cfs) to assure a minimum dilution ratio of 100:1. Treabment consists of four lagoons
in series. Outfall 002 is non-contact cooling water (0.6 mgd) requiring no treatment.
The basis for maxL~um yearly mass effluent limitations is the proposed BCT effluent
guidelines (part 430.53), with consideration for non-continuous discharge. There was
a staff BPJ determination, with EPA concurrence, that the limits equal BCT. Maximum
daily concentration llinits are imposed to protect the receiving stream from a highly
concentrated discharge, and BPJ was used to keep the pH range at 6.0 to 9.0, although
BCT allows a range of 5.0 to 9.0. The permittee must measure river flow at the
nearest USGS gauging station to determine the 100:1 dilution ratio. The permittee is
authorized to carry-over any unused mass limits to the next year, or years, in the
event the 100:1 dilution ratio cannot be maintained during the current year.
Cumulative mass discharge must also be tabulated. Conversely, the discharge fram the
fourth lagoon through the existing 12-inch pipe can be supplB~ented by temporary
siphon or pump when the 100:1 dilution ratio cannot be maintained long enough to empty
the lagoons, provided the extra flow is passed through the existing parshall flume.
The permit is basically an extension of the previous permit with adjustment in the
mass limits to reflect proposed BCT guidelines, and thus there is no schedule of
canpliance .

IN0001929: Dana Corporation, Perfect Circle Division of Hagerstown, Indiana, (E.
Central area, near Ohio border) produces pistons and piston rings for internal
combustion engines (SIC 3599). The facility is in the Mechanical Products Category,
for which there are no final BAT guidelines (no 40 CFR Number). Outfall 001, "Chrane
plate Discharge" (0.777 mgd max.) is treated by recycl ing where possible, unusable
wastes are concentrated by evaporation and contractor hauled--the effluent includes
200 gpj of storm water. Outfall 002, "Boiler Room Discharge" (0.138 mgd max.), is
pumped to a hOlding tank for oil skimming and includes 1,000 gpj of storm water.
Outfall 003, "Machining Discharge" (0.108 mgd max.) is collected in an oil tank for
grease removal and diluted with 7,000 gpj of storm water prior to discharge. The
outfalls discharge into Nettle Creek and then to the \~itewater Canal, both
tributaries to the Whitewater River which has a Q7-l0 of 2.3 cfs (1.5 mgd) upstream of
the plant's discharge. The basis for BAT limitations is water quality standards and
BP,J. Outfall 001 mass limitations are based on a flow of 0.8 mgd. Concentration
limits for TSS and BOD are set to meet Indiana water quality standards. Total
chranium limit is based on EPA water quality criteria (0.1 mgd) with a dilution factor
of 2:1 for the effluent. Trichloroethylene (TCE), found at a level of 5 ug/l, will be
monitored monthly for six months and then reviewed. Outfall 002 limitations are
unchanged fr~n the expired permit. Outfall 003 limitations for flow, TSS, oil and
grease, tenperature, and pH are the same as the expired permit, but monthly monitoring
requirements were added for total chromium, hexavalent chromium, methylene chloride

IN@@@2861: The Eli Lilly and company's Tippecanoe Labs in Lafayette, IN, (N.W. quadrant of state) is in the
pharmaceutical Manufacturing Category (Fermentation Products Subcategory, 4@ CFR 439.1@ Subpart A, and Chemical synthesis
Products Subcategory, 4@ CFR 439.3@ Subpart C) and the Pesticides Manufacturing Category (Halogenated organic pesticides, 4@
CFR 455.1@ Subpart A). The plant produces antibiotics and pharmaceuticals (SIC 2833) and agricultural chemicals and
pesticides (SIC 2879). production is only given for one product, the pesticide Trifluralin (336,@@@ Ib/d). The total plant
discharge of l@.l mgd is regulated at Outfall @@l, where it enters the Wabash River. The discharge consists of treated
process waste (7.86 mgd), non-contact cooling water (1.95 mgd), boi ler feed water (.245 mgd) and sanitary waste (.@43 mgd).
Wastewater treatment consists of equalization, clarification, activated sludge, neutralization, and aerated lagoons. Sludge
is thickened and centrifuged. Sanitary wastes are treated separately and are regulated for Fecal Coliform at internal
Outfall l@l. Solvents and other organic compounds are recycled and high COD wastes are incinerated. Certain waste streams
receive carbon adsorption treatment, and are regulated for nitrosamines at internal Outfall 6@7. The basis for BPT
limitations is the Effluent Guidelines for those pharmaceuticals and pesticides subcategories mentioned above. Incremental
mass limits for increases in BOO-5 and COD as a result of increased pharmaceutical and pesticide production were calculated
from the guidelines and added to the previous average permit limits (BOD-5 2,54@ kg/d; COD - 11,34@ kg/d) to arrive at
post-expansion limits. The previous limits for BOD-5 and COD are less than one-half of the limits that would be allowed
under the guidelines. Allowances for 800 & COO are also given for increases in sanitary waste load. The allowances given
for increased pesticide production are less than 2% of the pharmaceutical increases. As the pharmaceutical guidelines
provide no guidelines for TSS limits or maximum limits on BOD-5 or COD, BPJ was used to provide TSS limits which are the sum
of the pre-expansion TSS values (2,@87/4,6@4 kg/d) plus the guideline values for the pesticide increase and an allowance for
domestic waste increases, plus values for pharmaceuticals increase which are equivalent to the incremental 800-5 numbers for
pharmaceuticals. Maximum values generally are set at 2x average values for 800-5, COD, and TSS. BPJ also was used to leave
limits for the following pollutants set at previous levels: NH3' O&G, Hg, Total cr, phenols, nitrosamines. Water quality
considerations were used to set total cyanide limits, and pesticide guidelines were used to set limits for Trifluralin
(.@@18/.@1@ Ib per l@@@ Ib production). Other requirements in the permit include initiating flow-through bianoni toring
within 4 months, reporting annually storage and disposal of mycelium and other biological and liquid wastes, notification of
increased production, and conducting a joint physical, chemical and mathematical modeling study of the Wabash River with the
State of Indiana in 1981. There is no schedule of compliance, and a short-term permit was written, which also contained a
standard re-opener clause.

IN0003107: The Sheller-Globe Corporation, Hardy Div., of Union City, Indiana, (on
IN/OH border, east of Muncie) is in the Electroplating Category (40 CFR 413) and
plates 18,900 sq. ft./day of zinc parts and 15,300 sq. ft./day of plastic parts.
Combined process wastewater (0.26 mgd) is discharged from a lagoon at Outfall 001, and
non-contact cooling water (0.27 mgd) from plastic molding operations is discharged at
Outfall 002 without treatment. Both discharges are to the Little Mississinewa River,
which is assumed to have a Q7-10 of zero cfs. Process wastewater treatment consists
of (1) evaporative systems for concentration and reuse of chrome, copper, and nickel
plating rInses. (2) ion exchange for cleaning baths and final rinses, (3) discharge
to the POTW for paint booth, paint strip, die cast, and sanitary wastes, and (4) the
rinse and miscellaneous wastewaters are collected and neutralized before flowing to
the lagoon, which also receives condensate, boiler blow-down and other minor flows,
The basis for mass limits is the EPA Effluent Guidelines, using an average flow of
0.26 mgd and the Option #2 treabnent concentration levels found in the Draft Metal
Finishing Development Document. The Average flow of 0.26 mgd is consistant with the
production-based flow figures in the Development Document. Exceptions based on BPJ
and on achievable treatment limits are zinc (higher concentration limits) and BOD and
cyanide (lower concentration limits). Trichloroethylene is limited a 0.02 mg/l based
on (1) achievable limits following proposed carbon absorption treatment of degreaser
condensate and (2) the low health risk to downstream users. Dilution water up to 1.5
mgd, in addition to stream flow and the discharge from Outfalls 001 and 002, is
allowed for flow augmentation of the receiving stream (40 CFR 125.3 (e) (3) in order

Electroplating Category. Metals that are plated include: (1) copper, nickel & tin-
nickel (40 CFR 413.10, Subpart A, Copper, Nickel, Chromium & Zinc Electroplating) and
(2) silver, gold & rhodium (40 CFR 413.20, Subpart B, Precious Metals Electroplating).
Treated process wastewater, consisting of 500 gpd of cleaning wastes and 1,000 gpd of
plating wastes, is discharged at Outfall 001 to a railroad ditch and then to Eagle
Creek (Q7- a=0cfs). Treabnent consists of cyanide oxidation with chlorine gas,
neutraliza~lon, flocculation, sedimentation, effluent filtration, and sludge
dewatering by centrifugation. The basis for BAT limitations is the concentrations in
the Indiana Water Quality Standards, which are applied as end-of-pipe limitations
using BPJ. Effluent guidelines were not used due to difficulties in determining the
surface area plated. Gold and rhodium are not regulated because their economic value
is believed to insure sufficient effluent limitation. Mass limits are included based
on the reported flow of 1,500 gpd. The draft permit contains no schedule of
compliance, although a review of the 2C application form shows that the pe~nittee was
not meeting proposed limits in 1981.

north of Kokomo) is a job shop in the Electroplating Category (40 CFR 413) (SIC 3471)
and does zinc chloride and zinc phosphate plating of steel parts. The plant
previously discharged to the Walton STP, but the city prohibited the discharge in
1981 as a result of treatment plant upsets. Sanitary wastes continue to be discharged
to the POTW. The company installed a DMP Corp. package treatment system consisting of
cyanide oxidation (discontinued due to process change to eliminate cyanide), chromium
reduction, neutralization, metal precipitation and settling and sludge dewatering.
Two holding ponds were also installed in series to allow recycle and provide further
settling before discharge at Outfall 001 to Philip's Ditch, an intermittent stream
with an assumed Q7-10 of zero cfs. Process wastewater generation is 0.024 mgd, but
only 0.017 mgd is projected for discharge because of recycle. The basis for BAT
limitations in the absence of promulgated guidelines is BPJ using (1) Treatment option
II from the proposed Metal Finishing Guidelines to set TSS limits and (2) state water
quality standards for all other regulated pollutants. The fundamental basis for ~
limits is concentration, but equivalent mass limits at a flow of 0.024 mgd are imposed

KY000127~: Dow Corning Corporation, in Carrollton, Kentucky, is in the Organic
Chemicals Category (40 CFR 414) and manufactures silicone fluids and emulsions and
formulated silicone products (SIC 2821 and 2869). No production is reported for this
facility. A total discharge of 0.298 mgd combined process water, sanitary wastewater,
and noncontact cooling water is discharged to the Ohio River at Outfall 001. For
monitoring purposes, internal Outfall OOlA has been established after final treatment
but prior to mixing with uncontaminated stormwater or noncontact cooling water.
Process wastes receive treatment consisting of flow equalization, ~ adjustment,
flocculant-assisted chemical precipitation, and settling lagoon before mixing with
runoff and noncontact cooling water. Permit conditions are BPJ in the absence of
promulgated effluent guidelines. The limitations on BOD, COD, TSS, and Total Copper
are based on a 1980 WCA using the 303e Basin Plan for segment 08211. Based on a
request from Dow, chloride was increased from 65,000 Ibs/day to 120,000 Ibs/day after
no significant impact was found downstream. The temperature limits at the total
discharge Outfall 001 are technology based. The permittee must be in compliance by
the effective date of the permit.

KY0003603: pennwalt Corporation, located in Calvert City, Kentucky, manufactures
hydrofluoric acid (176,600 lbs/day), hydrochloric acid, and sodium chlorate (SIC
2819), chlorofluorocarbons (SIC 2869), and vinylidene fluoride and polyvinylidene
fluoride (SIC 2821). The facility is in the Inorganic Chemicals Category (40 CFR 415)
with one discharge of process wastewater (10.73 mgd) to the Tennessee River. Pennwalt
has four wastewater treatment faci 1i ties: 1) Hydrofluoric Acid Kiln Residue
Treatment facility - 1st and 2nd stage~ neutralization, settling, clarification, and
discharge for reuse or discharge to the lower lagoon ahead of the pH adjustment
station; 2) pH adJustment station - all wastewater is joined together at the entrance
to the lower lagoon; the combined wastestream receives two-stage pH adjusbnent; 3)
Isotron Waste Acid Neutralization System - hydrochloric acid (produced here as a
byproduct), if not sold, is pumped from a collection tank to a neutralization tank;
when the pH reaches at least 8, the acid is pumped to a settling tank where it is
discharged to join the other plant wastewater prior to final pH adjustment; and 4)
Mercury Treatment System - wastewater contaminated with mercury is held in the chlor-
caustic lagoon, acidified to pH 1.5-2, and pumped through ion exchange columns for
removal of mercury before combining with the other wastewaters. Final permit limits
are effective 7/1/84, with interim limits based on the existing permit and BPT. Final
mass limitations require internal monitoring of the hydrofluoric lagoon discharge for
fluoride, net nickel, and net zinc. These limitations are based on BAT (40 CFR
415.83) using a production of 176,600 lb/day, and include a BPJ=BAT determination of
the concentration of fluoride contributed by incinerator wastes. Fluoride limitations
at final Outfall 001 include contributions from two additional hydrofluoric acid
processes (contributing 375 Ib/day daily average and 625 Ib/day daily maximwn each)
plus d1e BAT limitation at Outfall OOlA. Net TSS is a BPJ limitation based on
increased production for processes contributing this parameter, and phosphorus, COD,
net mercury, pH, and temperature are based on the previous permit to prevent
backs 1 iding. A schedule of compl iance calls for attainment of operational levels by
July 1, 1984. A BMP plan is required to be implemented within six months.

polybutylene terephthalate (SIC 2821), surfactants (SIC 2843), and miscellaneous
methylamines and other organic chemicals (SIC 2869). Specific production rates are
not given for the facility which falls in the Organic Chemicals Category (4U CFR 414).
There is one existing discharge to the Tennessee River which consists of 0.03 mgd
sanitary waste, 0.787 mgd process waste, and 0.645 mgd cooling water, ash sluicing
water, and stormwater. The effluent is continually pumped through a 12" pipeline
approximately two miles in length. Sanitary wastes pass through the plant septic
tanks prior to treatment with all other wastes in the Plant Wastewater Syst~ The
combined wastestream receives settling, oil skimming, equalization, acti vated sludge
in a two basin unit, and clarification. Sludge is centrifuged and disposed of via
off-site land application. In the absence of promulgated BAT guidelines, the permit
is based on BPJ. Conditions for temperature, BOD, TSS, ammonia, phenols, and pH are
based on the existing permit in order to prevent backsliding. The oil and grease
limitation is based on EPA guidance for NPDES permits. Biomonitoring is required on
samples that are both treated and untreated for ammonia. They must be conducted once
per week for two weeks, with one sample collected during a period when the methylamine
facility is operational.

LA13131313493: The Reichhold Chemicals, Inc. faci 1 i ty at Oakdale (Allen parish, N.W. of
Lake Charles in S.W. corner of state), Louisiana is in the Tall Oil Rosin, pitch, and
Fatty Acids Subcategory (413 CFR 454.4) of the Gum and Wood Chemicals Manufacturing
Category (SIC 2861). The plant has a production of 343,131313 lb/d of tall oil rosin,
pitch and fatty acids, and 212,131313 lb/d of rosin-based derivatives. Reichhold has two
regulated outfalls: Outfall 13l3l--treated process wastewater (2.5 mgd avg./4.9 mgd
max.) and OUtfall 13132--stormwater surge basin overflow (flow variable and unknown).
Both outfalls discharge to the parish drainage ditch, which discharges to the
Calcasieu River. The wastewater treatment process for Outfall 13131 is not described in
the permit or supporting material, and Outfall 13132 is untreated except for settling
which occurs in the surge basin. The mass limits for Outfall 13131 were previously
developed by waste load allocation and are stricter than those calculated by use of
the gum and wood chemicals category guidelines for BOO-5 and TSS. (Guidelines for COO
and O&G have not been established.) Concentration limits for TOC, COO, and O&G in
Outfall 13132 are based on EPA Regional policy (BPJ). The permit contains no compliance

acid processes (SIC 2819). Outfall 001 is a total combined outfall discharging 43.3
mgd to the Mississippi River and consisting of settling ~ discharge (internal
Outfall 002), clarifier underflow (internal Outfall 003), and non-contact cooling
water. Outfall 001 is made up of approximately 99% once through cool ing water.
Outfall 004 consists of uncontaminated utility water and storm runoff, discharging to
the Panama Canal. Treatment of process wastes consists of neutralization and
settling. The limitations are BPJ in the absence of promulgated effluent guidelines,
and are based on an average flow of 0.072 rrgd. Reporting requirements only at OUtfall
001 are a result of the large di lution of process water. Concentration based
limitations are DTIpoSed for metals at Outfall 002 due to their presence in the
wastestreams. Chromium 1 imi ts are based on technologically achievable levels of
chromium removal and are equivalent to BPT. Concentration limits for TOe and oi 1 and

LA0003115: Gulf Oil Company's Alliance Refinery, located in Belle Chas~e, Louisiana,
operates a petrolewn refinery producing over 50,00U barrels/day crude 011 (SIC 2911).
They are in the Petroleum Refining Category (40 CFR 41~) and discharge from one
outfall directly to the Mississippi River. However, effluent limitations are
regulated at four internal outfalls due to the large dilution at the point of
discharge. Outfall 201 consists of 28.3 mgd once-through noncontact cooling water.
The net TOe limit is based on BPT effluent guidelines (Subpart B) and on net
limitation provisions in 40 CFR Part 122.65. The daily maximum concentration limits
on the segregated stormwater at Outfall 301 are based on effluent guidelines (Subpart
A) and traditional technology for segregated stormwater runoff. Outfall 401 consists
of river water clarifier underflow and the limitations are based on traditional
requirements for clarifier underflow to the Mississippi River. Outfall lUl consists
of 2.7 mgd treated process water and ballast water from the biological waste treatment
plant. Mass limits are based on effluent guidelines and are consistent with the Water
Quali ty Management Plan for the Mississippi River. Outfall 001 consists of the total
combined refinery effluent (32.9 mgd from 101, 201, 301, and 401). The pH at Outfall
001 is based on effluent guidelines. Biomonitoring on the treated effluent at Outfall
101 is required to control the toxicity of the effluent. The static 24 hour method
will be conducted each quarter for 2 years to determine 80% survival.

LA0003522: The Shell Oil Company's Norco Manufacturing Complex, located in St.
Charles Parish, Louisiana, is in the Petroleum Refining Category (40 CPR 419, Subpart
B), and operates a crude oil refinery (SIC 2911). The facility's lTIaximum production
of petroleum products is reported to be greater than 50,000 barrels/day. They have
four regulated outfalls: Outfall 001 consists of water treatment clarifier underflow;
Outfall 002 consists of contaminated stormwater and process water, (17% of which is
injected into a deep well and 83% which is treated in the treatment system); Outfall
003, the wharf scrubber discharge, consists of once-through cooling water used to
scrub 802 vapors during barge loading operations occurring four times per month; and
Outfall 004 consists of once-through noncontact cooling water. Outfalls 001 and 003
discharge directly to the !1ississippi River and the Outfall 002 aeration basin
effluent and Outfall 004 combine to discharge to the Bayou Trepagnier. The limits for
Outfalls 001 and 003 are based on the previous permit and traditional monitoring
requirements. The net TOe limit at Outfall 004 is based on the previous permit and on
effluent guideline8:-The applicable BPT and BAT effluent guidelines for Outfall 002
are less stringent than the existing permit, and to prevent backsliding the existing
permit conditions reTIain in effect. Biomonitoring of the treated effluent at Outfall
002 is required to measure effluent toxicity. The static 24 hour bioassay will be
used once per quarter for 2 years to determine 80% survival. If less than 80%
survival, a replacement 48-hour LC50 test will be performed on the orginally collected

areas; and final Outfall 002 - stormwater from nonprocess plant areas and the diked
tank farm areas. Monitoring requirements and effluent limitations are imposed on the
internal outfalls due to the dilution and interference at the point of final
discharge. No specific limitations are established at Outfall 101 because the
discharge of priority pollutants above intake levels is unlikely. At Outfall 201,
mass limits for BOD and TSS are BPT, and limitations for the remaining pollutants are
a-BPJ=BAT determination based on-statistical analysis of performance data for the
steam stripper technology for volatile toxic organics and the chromate converter
employed at the facility. DMR data indicate that the cOillpany meets the BAT

***An inspection for contamination of benzene, ethylbenzene, or toluene (depending
on the nature of the material being stored within the individual tank area
prior to discharge) must be made prior to drainage of stormwater from the diked

LA0003824: Firestone Synthetic Rubber and Latex Company, Lake Charles,Louisiana,
(S.W. corner of state) is in the Emulsion (40 CFR 428.20) and Solution (40 CFR 428.30)
Crumb Rubber Subcategories of the Rubber processing Category (SIC 2822) and produces
1,129,500 lb/d of emulsion crumb rubber and 936,000 lb/d of solution crumb rubber.
The facility discharges to Bayou O'Inde, a tributary of the Calcasieu River, from
three outfalls: 001--treated process wastewater (3.25 mgd avg./5.05 mgd max.); 003--
stormwater runoff (2.27 mgd avg/7.09 mgd max); and 004--stormwater runoff (2.62 mgd
avg/7.09 mgd max). The treatment system for Outfall 001 is not described in the
permit or fact sheet/rationale, and Outfall 003 and 004 are untreated. Mass limits
for Outfall 001 are set as follows: (1) limits corresponding to BPT/BCT or BAT
guideline levels are calculated for COD, BOO-5, TSS, O&G, and pH; (2) these limits are
canpared to the existing permit limits, which were based on water quality; (3) the
stricter of the two limits is used for the new permit for each parameter; and (4)
water quality-based limits are set for temperature, total chromium, and ammonia,
parameters not covered by the guidelines. Concentration limits for TOe and O&G in
Outfalls 003 & 004 are based on water quality. The permit contains no compliance
schedule and a BMP plan is not required. A toxics reopener clause is included.

LA0005223: Stauffer Chemical Company - Industrial Chemical Division, located in Baton
Rouge, Louisiana, manufactures sulfuric acid, liquid sulfur dioxide, and aluminum
sulfate by regeneration of spent sulfuric acid (SIC 2819). The facility is in the
Sulfuric Acid Subcategory of the Inorganic Chemicals Category (40 CFR 415, reserved .
Subpart U). Two outfalls discharge to the Mississippi Ri ver, as follows: Outfall 001
consists of process water and stonnwater (0.5 mgd) after neutralization, chemical
precipitation, coagulation, gravity thickening and vacuum filtration; and Outfall 002
consists of stormwater, boiler blowdown, cooling water, and sanitary wastewater (10.91
mgd) after neutralization (if necessary) and activated sludge treatment of sanitary
wastes. The peDTIit limitations are based on BPJ in the absence of promulgated
guidelines for Subpart U. TSS is regulated at the previous permit level which is
equivalent to BPI'. Although the facility is generally well below the requirements,
coagulants and flocculants that are used sometimes cause a rise in TSS as a result of
fluctuating discharge. The oil and grease limitation is equivalent to BAT and is
based on API separator technology. Lead and sulfite are also assumed to be equivalent
to BPI'. Sulfite readily oxidizes to sulfate in the receiving water and DMR data shows
that the facility meets the lead limit with 99% confidence. BMP conditions are
required as a result of the identification of several polynuclear aromatic organic
pollutants. Reporting of toxicity (biomonitoring) is required at Outfall 001 once per
quarter for two years based upon the 24 hr static bio-screening test and DeSO, if
appropriate. Compliance with the effluent limitations is required by the effective
date of the permit.

LA0005291: Witco Chemical Corporation, located in Gretna, Louisiana, is in the Soaps
and Detergents Category (40 CPR 417). The facility recovers petroleum sulfonates (SIC
2843) and converts th6TI to various metal salts, purified and blended for sale or
reprocessed to manufacture related products. Three outfalls discharge to the
Mississippi River: Outfall 001 is excess stormwater directed to a storm sump for
discharge; and Outfalls 002 and 003 consist of once-through noncontact cooling water.
Maximum daily flow discharge of all outfalls is 5.99 mgd. All process wastewater and
surface stormwater is subjected to primary treatment (flocculation and flotation) and
placed in an underground injection ~ll. The company requested continuance of process
water effluent limitations; however, regulations in 40 CFR 122.63 and 122.65 indicate
that effluent limitations are zero discharge for process wastewater. The remaining
permit limitations are based on a BPJ determination that BPT=BCT/BAT.

LA0005606: Ormet Corporation, located in Burnside, Louisiana, is in the Nonferrous
Metals Category (40 CFR 421) and operates a bauxite refinery (SIC 2819). Alumina
trihydrate is extracted from trihydrate bauxites using a caustic soda solution at
elevated temperatures. The caustic-insoluble residue known as "red mud" is disposed
of in surface impoundments. Alumina trihydrate and caustic are recovered by
decomposition, whereby the caustic is recycled and alumina trihydrate is calcined to
reduction grade alumina. Outfall 001 is the combined discharge (1.675 mgd) of
uncontaminated stormwater runoff, coal pile runoff, noncontact once-through river
cooling water, and treated (trickling filter) sanitary sewage into the Conway Canal,
thence to Panama Canal. Outfall 002 consists of river water clarifier underflow,
boiler blowdown, nonchromate cooling tower blo~own, and demineralizer regeneration
waste blowdown discharged to the Mississippi River. Outfall 003 consists of the
discharge from the Red Mud Impoundment Ponds (rainwater in excess of evaporation) also
to the Panama Canal. Effluent limits and monitoring requirements at Outfalls 001 and
002 are based on BPJ. The TSS limit at Outfall 001 is based on guidance in 40 CFR
423.12 for the Steam Electric Category at the internal discharge point of the coal
pile because of dilution at the final discharge. The no discharge of process
wastewater requirement at Outfall 003 is BAT based on 40 CFR 421.13, 10/15/75.

LA0029963: Gulf oil Chemicals Conpany - Aromatics and Deri vati ves Di vision, located
in St. James, Louisiana, manufactures styrene monomer and ethylbenzene (SIC 2865) and
is in the Organic Chemicals Category (40 CFR 414). Outfall 001 discharges to the
Mississippi River and consists of the combined final discharge of the cooling tower
blowdown and the effluent from the wastewater treatment facility (0.51 mgd). The
cooling tower blowdown contains sanitary wastewater and the wastewater treatment
facility discharge contains process wastewater, condensate filter backwash, and
process area stormwater. The only treatment specified is air stripping. Outfall 002
discharges to St. James Canal and consists of excess stormwater from the nonprocess
area stormwater impoundment and ditch drainage system. The basis for the limitations
at Outfall 001 and 002 is as follows: 1) BOD, TSS, temperature, and total phenols -
BPT; 2) Benzene, Ethylbenzene, and Toluene - BAT based on demonstrated removal by
steam stripper technology at Cos-Mar Co. (LA000375l); and TOe and oil and grease -
previous permit. The overall permit is believed to represent BAT. Biomonitoring is
required on the effluent from OJ.tfalls 001 and 002; however, no BMP plan is required.

LA0041718: Kaiser Aluminum and Chemical Corporation - Industrial Chemicals Division,
in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, is engaged in the production of specialty aluminas from
sPeCiality grade alumina ore and hydrated alumina (SIC 2819). The facility is in the
Inorganic Chemicals Category (40 CFR 415) and has a production rate between 870 tpd
and 1740 tpd. The facility has 5 outfalls which discharge to the Monk Sano Bayou and
thence to the Mississippi River. The discharges of four stormwater outfalls are
believed to be uncontaminated, and the effluent limits for oil and grease and pH are
based on the traditional technology limits for uncontaminated stormwater. Outfall 001
consists of 0.90 mgd of process wastes from the filtration and washing operations
treated by neutralization. The basis for the effluent limitations at Outfall 001 are
BPJ, Louisiana Water Quality Criteria and The Louisiana Water Quality Management Plan.
Monitoring for benzene and ethylbenzene is effective 7/1/84 along with biamonitoring
requirements for the effluent of Outfall 001, which consist of 24 hour static
screening tests. If a lethality of 20% or more of test organisms is shown, a
replacement static 48-hour median LC50 test must be performed on the originally
collected sample. Tests will be conducted once each quarter for a duration of 2
years.

LA~~51942: The Hill Petroleum Company refinery (SIC 2911) in St. Landry parish, LA, (S.W. quadrant of state, near
Alexandria)is in the Cracking Subcategory of the Petroleum Refining Category (4~ CFR 419.2~) and refines 6~,~~~ bbl/day of
crude feedstock. The plant has four outfalls discharging to the Atchafalaya Ri ver: Outfall ~~4 - treated process wastewater
and runoff frCITI Process Arre 1 & 2, utility water, and contaminated non-process area runoff (~.74 mgd avg., 1.67 mgd max.);
OUtfall ~~l - non-contact cooling water from Process Area 1 (2.3 mgd); OUtfall ~~2 non-process Area 1 runoff (flow varies);
and Outfall ~~3 - uncontaminated runoff from Arre 2 (flow varies). Treatment of process wastewater is not specified. The
basis for BAT limitations is the New Source Performance Standards for the Cracking Subcategory (4~ CFR 419.25), using a
Process Configuration of 9.35, a Process Factor of 1.82, and a Size Factor of 1.~4. The Process Configuration is calculated
based on the following refining capacities: 6~,~~~ bbl/d atmospheric distillation, 2~,~~~ bbl/d vacuum distillation, 6~,~~~
bbl/d desalting, 2~,~~~ bbl/d delayed coking, 25,~~~ bbl/d FCC, and 25,~~~ bbl/d hydrocracking. Limits at Outfall ~~4 are
mass limits and include process area runoff mass allowances from the New Source Effluent Guidelines (equivalent to BPT) for
the Top~ing Subcategory (4~ CPR 419.1~) for Boo-5, TSS, COD & O&G. Interim limits from 1~-31-81 to 1-31-82 are set using the
NSPS gUldellnes for the Topping Subcategory and a Process Configuration of 2.33, and a second set of interim limits until 6-
3~-83 are based on the NSPS guidelines for the Cracking Subcategory, which are used to accomoodate new delayed coking (2~,0~~
bbl/d) and FCC (25,~~~ bbl/d) facilities, which give a process configuration of 6.83. The final limits use the NSPS and the
process configuration of 9.35, which accomoodates the addition of a 25,~~~ bbl/d hydrocracking facility. Limits for Outfalls
~~l, ~~2 & ~~3 are based on guidelines for runoff from tank fields and non-process areas (4~ CFR 419.1~(c)(1». Net limits
are allowed for TOe for the cooling water discharge at OUtfall ~~l, with the additional stipulation that effluent---
concentration must be less than the influent concentration. The permit contains no formal compliance schedule, only the
requirement that canpliance be achieved by the effecti ve date. A standard re-opener clause is included in the perrni t, but
there is no requirenent for a BMP plan.

LA0059862: Petroleum Fuel and Terminal Corrpany, a subsidiary of Apex Oil Company
proposes to construct a 47 acre, 20,000 bbl/d crude oil vacuum distillation unit, and
marine dock and storage tank facility at Carville, Louisiana. (S. of Baton Rouge).
This facility will be in the Petroleum Refining Category (40 CFR 419). The refinery
will process atmospherically distilled oil to produce No.2 and No.6 fuel oils, light
and heavy vacuum oils, gas oils and vacuum residue (SIC 2911). The refinery will use
about 0.183 gpj of groundwater. Wastewater will be treated by a package biological
plant and discharged into the Mississippi River at Outfall 001 (0.144 mgd).
Uncontaminated storm runoff will be monitored for compliance and discharged into Bayou
Braud at Outfall 002. BPT limitations are based on NSPS (419.15 FR Vol. 40. NO. 98,
May 20, 1975) for the petroleum refining effluent gu~ines. The refinery has a size
factor at 1.02, a process factor of 0.62, and capacity of 20 1000 bbl/day, which
determines mass limits as follows: 20 x 1.02 x 0.62 x guidelines = permit limits
(lbs/d). Total 1 imi ts at Outfall 001 are for process wastewater, process area storm
water and ballast water. This proposed permit was in the process of certification at

LA0059901: The Freeport uranium Recovery Company, Sunshine Bridge plant, is loc~ted
on the same site as a fertilizer complex (phosphoric acid plant) operated by Agrlco
Chemical Company at Donaldsonville (st. James parish), Louisiana (S. of Baton Rouge) .
Uranium is typically found at a rate of 0.1 lb/ton of phosphate rock, and is
recovered, presumably by ion exchange, from the phosphoric acid solution supplied by
Agrico. There is no guidelines category for this uranium recovery operation. The
facility discharges uncontaTIinated stormwater and sanitary waste into the Mississippi
River at Outfall 001. Sewage treatment, if any is present, is not described in the
permit or rationale. This is the first issuance of a permit to a new discharger.
Concentration limits are set for O&G and COD based on BPJ and EPA Region VI policy.
The permit contains no compliance schedule and no BMP plan is required. Reopener

MAOOOl163: American Hoechst Corporation, located in Leominster, Massachusetts, is
engaged in the polymerization of polystyrene into resins for the plastics industry
(SIC 2821). The facility is in the Plastics and Synthetics Category (40 CFR 416) with
one existing discharge to Priest Brook, thence the Nashua River. This discharge consists
of 96% contact and noncontact cooling water. The remaining 4% consists of waste from
boiler house drains, pilot plant floor drains, and scrubber effluent, planned for
removal from Outfall 001 and rerouting to appropriate wastewater streams under a
caTIpany water pollution control program. It is not clear in the application form if
this is currently being done. Although this effluent also consists of contact cooling
water, the application indicates that the only significant pollutant in the discharges
is heat. The permit limitations for flow and temperature are BPJ based on monitoring
data and application information. The pH limitations are state certification
requirements designed to meet water quality standards. Biomonitoring and a BMP plan
are not included in this permit.

MDQ000094: Delmarva Power and Light Company, located in Vienna, Maryland, is a power
generating company in the Steam Electric Power Generating Category (40 CFR 423).
Delmarva Power is currently engaged in the expansion of the power station with the
addition of another generating unit (No.9) by 1990. Upon commencement of
construction, Outfalls 004, 006, 007, 008 and 009 will become operational. Outfall
005 will not be operational until Unit 9 begins operation. The facility has eight
outfalls which discharge to the Nanticoke River and one (Outfall 003) which discharges
to Websters Creek. Outfall 001 consists of effluent from the backup vacuum system,
service cooling water, and area runoff. Outfalls 002, 006, 007, and 009 consist of
approximately 2.79 mgd of intake screen backwash and deicing water, runoff pond
discharge, and construction dewatering. CX1tfalls 006 and 007 receive sedimentation and
oil sklinming before discharge and Outfall 009 receives no treatment. Outfall 003
consists of decant basin discharge. Outfall 004 is 0.45 mgd untreated cooling tower
blowdown from Unit 8, and Outfall 005 consists of 2.79 mgd cooling tower blowdown from
Unit 9 and discharge from the oil separator. An internal monitoring point at the
effluent from the oil separator is designated Outfall 501. Outfall 008 consists of
overflow from the dredge material overflow basin after treatment in the sedimentation
basin. Sanitary waste is pumPed to the Town of Vienna's wastewater treatment plant.
The permit regulates all outfalls except Outfall 008. The effluent limitations at
Outfall 003 and Outfall 501 are BPT and based on effluent guidelines. The discharge
of biphenyl tranformer fluids is prohibited and there is no use of chlorine for
bifouling control without prior approval. The facility has received approval to begin
construction of a solid waste landfill. Specific permit conditions for the landfill
will be develoPed-ata later date. A BMP Plan is also required as part of this
permit.

ME0002178: The Scott Paper Co. plant in Winslow, Maine, (east central part of state,
north of Augusta) is in the pulp, Paper and Paperboard Category (40 CFR 430) and
produces 600 tpd of fine and tissue paper from purchased pulp (450 tpd) and reclaimed
paper that is deinked on site (150 tpd), (SIC 2621). OUtfall 001 contains treated
process wastewater (9.3 mgd); OUtfall 002 is uncontaminated cooling water (0.9 mgd);
Outfall 003 is filter backwash (0.1 mgd); and, Outfall 004 is barkpile leachate (0.03
mgd). All outfalls discharge to the Kennebec River. The process wastewater in
Outfall 001 is a combination of the effluent from a series of three dissolved air
flotation units which treat paper machine wastewater and an activated sludge plant,
which treats wastewater from the deinking operation. The other outfalls receive no
treatment, but the company is committed to abating the barkpile leachate discharge by
reducing the volume of the barkpile. The basis for limitation is BPJ. The BOD
limitation at OUtfall 001 was based on the existing permit limit, negotiated more
stringent than BPT guidelines, and the 90% BOD design removal efficiency of the new
treatment plant for deinking wastewater, also better than BPT levels. An allocation
of 450/600 (3/4) of the pulp mechine waste load was increased by the increment
discharging from the new deinking treatment plant. There is no requirement for
biomonitoring, no schedule of compliance, no BMP plan required.

ME0022861: The Pratt & Whitney Aircraft Group (Division of United ~chnologies Corp.) plant in North Berwick, Maine, (S.E.
corner of state, near New Hampshire border) manufactures aircraft turbine blades/vanes and weldments (SIC 3724, Aircraft
Engines and Engine Parts). Most of their operations are in the Mechanical Products Category. (no CFR Number), and because
they do plating, part of their operation falls in the Electroplating Category (40 CFR 413). Process wastewater is the result
of plating, acid/alkali cleaning, finishing, pol<.er wash/blast, boiler blo..aown, and soluble oil; treatment is unspecified,
except that the effluent is filtered. No treatment is provided for fluoride. Treated process wastewater is discharged at
O:Itfall 003 (0.475 rngd, max.), and O:Itfall 004 consists of non-contact cooling water (0.280 rngd, max). Both discharges are
to the Great WOrks River. The basis for BAT limitations is a comhination of water quality criteria, BPJ, and negotiation
with the industry as follows: Phosphorus--a phosphorus wasteload allocation by the State of Maine. TSS, Total Chromium,
Total Nickel--BPJ. Fluoride--set at 10 rng/l based on a stream dilution ratio of 6.8:1 at the maximum process wastewater
discharge in order to provide d safe instream concentration of 1.6 mg/l at 75°F as noted in the Safe Drinking Water Act.
Copper & Soluble Lead--EPA water quality criteria (Red Book) to protect aquatic life using Brook Trout as the test species
and the safe instream concentration for copper of 0.01 mg/l (0.1 x 96-hr TL5 of 0.1 mg/l . 0.01 rng/l) and 0.045 mg/l for
soluble lead (0.01 x 96-hr TLse of 4.5 rng/l = 0.045 rng/l). Maximum mass liml~s of 0.396 Ib/d for copper am 3.96 Ib/d for
soluble lead are based on maXimum process waste flow (0.475 mgd) and maximum process waste concentrations of 0.1 mg/l for
copper and 1.0 rng/l for lead. The mass limits can vary up to the maximum quantity based on stream flow in order to maintain
the safe instream concentration. At a process waste concentration of 0.1 mg/l for copper and 1.0 rng/l for soluble lead and
under decreasing stream flow comitions, the maximum mass discharge limit is reached first for soluble lead at a stream flow
of 10.55 rngd and secom for copper at a stream flow of 4.76 rngd. Thus, the soluble lead limit is controlling for the
treatment process. Total Cactnium limits are on a net basis, are set equal to the mean of background levels in the receiving
stream (0.015 mg/l), and can equal the backgroum level when it exceeds 0.015 rng/l. TEmperature limits are based on State
water quality standards for thermal discharges at the boundary of the mixing zone, sare 2,000 feet downstrean. Oil am
Grease and pH limits are based on State Certification requirements. The permit contains no schedule of compliance as the
plant was meeting the BAT limits at the time of permit issuance.

treatment in 2 aeration basins, clarification, and sludge dewatering by coil filter.
Outfall 20200 is non-contact cool ing water (1.56 mgd avg. & 2.0 mgd max.). Both
discharges are to the Mississippi River. The effluent limitations are based on State
Standards (Minnesota Rules 6 MCAR 4.8015 and 4.8025), which are more restrictive than
Bcr limitations. The schedule of compliance calls for the company to conduct a study
to reduce turbidity levels in the effluent. Quarterly monitoring for pentachloro-

MN0053643: The Twin Cities Army Ammunition plant in New Brighton, MN,(Minneapolis -
St. Paul area) requested an NPDES permit for one-time disposal of groundwater
pump-out contaminated with volatile organics. Water was stored in a holding pond for
air-stripping treatment for volatilization and was released at Outfall 001 at a rate
of not greater than 100 gpm (.144 mgd) to Rice Creek, providing a dilution ratio for
permit limitation purposes of 9.2:1. Sampling in April 1982, after the pond was
filled on a trial basis, revealed levels for all four regulated organics less than 0.2
ug/l, except for decreasing levels of 1,1,1- Trichloroethane at 1.2 to 0.32 ug/l and
1,1,2-Trichloroethylene at 3.1 to 0.18 ug/l. BOD & TSS levels were less than 10 mg/l.
The discharge was a one-time occurance only for the purpose of emptying the pond.
There presently is no continuous discharge to the pond for treatment or discharge from
the pond. The pump-out system currently discharges to the pow. Three types of
effluent limitations were imposed: (1) 30-day average and daily maximum concentration
limits for the effluent, based on the EPA 10-5 human health protection water quality
criteria (45 FR 79319) for known or suspected carcinogens, with the limits set 9.2
times higher than the criteria to allow for the 9.2:1 dilution in the stream, (2)
maximum daily concentration limits at a downstream monitoring point which are equal to
the EPA 10-5 human health protection criteria, and (3) a cumulative limit for total
toxic organics for both the average and maximum effluent limits and for the downstream
monitoring limits, which represents the summation of the ratios of the recorded
concentration vs. the permit limit, as shown below. In other words, if one pollutant
is present at 85% of its limit (ratio = .85), the sum of the other individual
pollutant ratios cannot exceed 0.15 (.85 + .15 = 1.0), otherwise a permit violation
occurs. In the event other toxic pollutants are found in the groundwater pump-out,
limits will be established using the EPA 10-5 human health protection criteria, state
water quality standards, or acute toxicity concentrations, whichever is more
stringent. The permit contains no schedule of compliance.

MO-0000086: st. Joe Minerals Company, viburnum Division, viburnum, Missouri, is in
the Base and Precious Metals Subcategory of the Ore Mining and Dressing Category, (40
CFR 440, Subpart B), and extracts from mines #28 and #29 about 7,500 tpd of ore
containing lead, zinc, and copper ores, galena, sphalerite, and chalcopyrite (SIC
1031). The ore is crushed, ground and processed in a central milling facility to
produce mineral concentrates which are smelted elsewhere. The regulated discharges
resul t from mine dewatering and storm water runoff. The mill complex does not
discharge, it uses 0.6 mgd of dewatering effluent from mine #28 as make-up water and
recirculates 2.3 mgd through a reservoir, concentrator, and tailings lagoon. Outfall
001 is the combined flows of Outfalls 002, 003, & 004 plus runoff and groundwater
inflow to Indian Creek and its upstream tributaries. Flow depends on settling pond
usage and climatic conditions. Outfall 002 (4.5 mgd) is dewatering effluent and
surface runoff from the mine mill at Mine #28. Outfall 003 is seepage (variable flow
around 1.5 mgd) through an abandoned and partially plugged decant pipe below the
settling ponds at Mine #28. Flow is dependent on pond usage and this discharge is
part of the normal discharge at Outfall 002. Outfall 004 is mine dewatering flow (0.4
mgd) from five settling ponds serving Mine #29. The mill has secondary containment
around reagent storage areas and spills are routed to a sump for recycle with the
mill process water. Oil and grease is removed in each mine before discharge with
rope-type oil skirrmers. The basis for BAT concentration limits is BPJ using as
guidance the effluent guidelines in 40 CFR 440.22 (a) (1). Water quaIlty limits are
imposed at Outfall 001 to address the adverse impacts of the entire mIne/mill
operation; therefore, a BMP plan is not required. The permit contains a reopener
clause, but no campI iance schedule is required.

MO-0000183: The Western Lithoplate & Supply Co. of St. Louis, Missouri, is a
manufacturer of photographic supplies (SIC 3861) and produces presensitized offset
photolithographic plates and treating solutions to sensitize, develop and use the
plates. The facility is in the photographics Category (40 CFR 459). All process
wastewater receives physical/chemical treatment consisting of two-stage
neutralization, chemical flocculation, and sedimentation including grit removal, cone
settler, and lamella enhanced settling. Discharge of 0.25 rngd of process wastewater
to the Meramec River is through Outfall 001, which also discharges surface drainage.
The basis for BPJ/BAT limits in the absence of promulgated effluent guidlines is an
extension of the present BPT permit based on water quality criteria for the protection
of a public water supply several hundred yards downstream. Equivalent mass based
limits are calculated from maximum allowable concentration levels using an average
flow of 0.25 rngd. COD and TSS are used as analytical indicator pollutants for
previously regulated BOD and aluminum, respectively. Fluoride is no longer regulated
in the permit as production changes have eliminated its use. A spill control plan is
required for the fresh acid storage tank. unspecified construction is required to be
completed by December 31, 1981.

semi-conductors (SIC 3339),for which there is no effluent guidelines category. The facility discharges into the
Mississippi River via Belleau Creek from three outfalls: 1:11:11--treated process wastewater (1:1.828 mgd); 1:11:12--combined
storrnwater runoff, cooling to..-er blowdown, reverse osmosis process reject water, air conditioning condensate, and water well
relief valve reject water (1:1.143 mgd normally discharged through polishing lagoon system and OJtfall 1:11:11, with flows in
excess of 31:11:1 gpn during stonos being discharged at 1:11:12); and 1:11:13-bypass for treated process wastewater (1:11:11) around 2nd and
3rd cells of lagoon system (1:1.828 mgd, when discharging). The main wastewater treatment system for this facility consists of
an activated sludge plant, a belt sludge dewatering press, a sludge cOlTl11inutor, and a 3-cell final polishing lagoon system
consisting of a 2 acre primary cell, and two 1 acre cells, each 3 feet deep. The system receives pretreated process
wastewater, sanitary wastewater, cooling water, and normal rainwater runoff. The process wastewater e,>retreatment sequence is
not defined, but the operations include: mixing, neutralization, flocculation, sedimentation, reduction, coagulation, and
chemical precipitation. Wastewater treatment sludge is treated by anaerobic and aerobic digestion and chemical conditioning
prior to off site disposal. This permit has been reissued to reflect consideration of the administrative relief (variance)
requested by Monsanto under federal regulations 31:11 (i) (2) (a) and the National Municipal policy and Strategy (October 1979) as
a result of the Notice of Violation issued by EPA on 5-21-81:1. Monsanto is required to connect its sanitary and pretreated
process wastes to the POTW within 91:1 days if availability of trunk se..-ers occurs during the life of this permit. No
guidelines exist for this category so BAT and BCT limitations are established on the basis of BPJ. Mass limits and
concentration limits are set for BCD-5;-TsS, total chranium and total fluoride in Outfall 1:11:11 aor 1:11:13. Monitoring-only
requirements are prescribed for flow on all outfalls and for methylene chloride on Outfalls 1:11:11 and 1:11:13. Effluent from
Outfall 1:11:12 cannot raise or lo..-er the temperature of the receiving water beyond the mixing zone (dimensions not given) by
more than 5 of nor cause or contribute to a stream temperature above 91:1 of. Monsanto is to submit a plan in three months of
the effective date for conducting upstream and downstream biomonitoring of aquatic biota to assure that TSS discharges are
not having an adverse effect. No compliance schedule is contawed in the permit, but it includes reo~ner clauses for both
standards/limitations pranulgation and for resolution of court cases or other changes to NPDES regulatlOns. A BMP plan is

Iron and Steel Manufacturing categorl and produces metallurgical coke (SIC 3312).
Previous BPT permits were based on e fluent guidelines for the By-product Coke
Subcategory (40 CFR 20, Subpart A). However, the current permit limits are only for
boiler blov.down, cooling water leakage and steam condensate (Outfall 001 @ 8000 gpd)
and for stormwater and coal/coke pile runoff (Outfall 002) as all process wastes are
stored in spray ponds for recycle and incineration. Hence, the current discharge to
the Mississippi River is regulated through BPJ and represents achievable BPT treatment
concentration levels for OUtfall 001. The current limits are more stringent than
previous permits. Outfall 002 is regulated only for TSS and pH when discharging.
Concentration derived equivalent mass limits for OUtfall 001 are based on a flow of
8000 gpd. A BMP plan is required to control coal/coke pile runoff within six months
of the effective date, with all steps necessary to segregate and treat contaminated
runoff being completed by June 30, 1984. Separate monitoring of wastes currently
being discharged through Outfall 001 will be established. A Section 307 (a)

MO-0002534: Corn Products Co., North Kansas City, Missouri, is in the Corn Wet
Milling Subcategory of the Grain Mills Category (40 CFR 406, Subpart A) and producing
corn sweeteners (syrup and starches) and animal feed ingredients (SIC 2046) by
processing 55,000 standard bushels/day. The process produces 13-14 mgd of wastewater,
of which 1-2 mgd are discharged into the municipal sewer. Treatment is unknown.
Effluent is discharged through Outfall 001 to the Missouri River. Limits on BOD and
TSS are based on BPT effluent guidelines (40 CPR 406.12) with a reopener clause.
Straight production-based mass limits were used, subtracting for the proportion of
flow discharged to the sewer. Monitoring for effluent COD and temperature is
required, although temperatures limits are based on temperature in the river. BOD may
be determined by data correlated previously with COD as an indicator pollutant.

MO-0004782: The McDonnell Douglas Corp. plant in St. Louis, MO, manufactures military
aircraft (SIC 3721) and is in the Mechanical Products Category (no 40 CFR Number). No
effluent guidelines are applicable to the nine outfalls of untreated stormwater and
non-contact cooling water covered by this pennit. Total dry weather flow is 1.4 mgd,
and maximum reported flows for each outfall used in settling mass limits are presented
with the effluent limits below. The receiving stream is Coldwater Creek in the
Mississippi River Basin, and is a "protected strea'1l" to receive "no effluents except
unpolluted cooling water." The source of pollutants in the nine outfalls is
contaminated stormwater from outside areas and possibly from roof drainage
contaminated by air discharges. The basis for concentration and mass limitations in
the absence of guidelines is BPJ to represent BAT and BCT. The permit contains no
schedule of compliance, although there have been reported episodes of non-compliance
in the past. The requirement for a BMP plan was specifically eliminated; however, the
pennit does contain a standard reopener clause. A request was filed by the company on
October 11, 1982, (1) to modify the amnonia limits to "monitor only' as arrmonia is
added by the st. Louis Water Company, the water supplier, and (2) to alter the copper
limits. As of the date of this abstract, the permit revision was still out to public
notice.

lagoon and discharged to the POTW along with boilerhouse effluent (0.50 rngd) and
domestic waste (0.29 mgd). The total flow to the PO'IW is 1.31 mgd avg. and 2.40 mgd
max. The basis for BAT limitations for the four cooling water and storm water
outfalls is (1) state water quality standard lOCSR20-7.031, which requires no
discharge of process wastes to a "protected stream" except for uncontaminated cooling
water, and (2) a BPJ decision to continue the existing BPT limits. A BMP plan is

Mo-""97675: The Thomas Hill power Plant, operated by Associated Electric Cooperative Inc., is located on Thomas Hill
Reservoir, northwest of Moberly, Missouri (35 miles north of Columbia in the N. central part of the state). The facility is
in the steam Electric Power Generating category (4" CPR 423) and has three generating units with a total electric production
capacity of 1115 megawatts (SIC 4911). The generating station has thirteen outfalls which discharge to two receiving streams
as follows: OUtfalls ""1, ""2, and "1" discharge to the Middle Fork Cheriton River, a tributary of the Mississip~i River;
and Outfalls ""3 through ""9 and "11 through "13 discharge to Thomas Hill Reservoir, the source of the plant COOlIng,
process, and domestic water. Descriptions of these outfalls and the associated wastewater treatment follow: ""l--ash pond
overflow (6."5 mgd avg.), settling and neutralization (as required); ""2--01d ash pond overflow (currently unused); ""3--
Units 1 and 2 condenser cooling water discharge (345.7 mgd avg.), chlorination; ""4--Unit 3 condenser cooling water discharge
(656.3 mgd avg.), chlorination; ""SA-process waste pond overflow wi thout boi ler cleaning wastes (".595 mgd avg.),
pretreatment consists of oil/water separation, neutralization, and other treatment as required by waste characteristics;
""5B--process waste pond overflow with boiler cleaning wastes (".595 mgd avg.), same treatment as ""SA; ""6-"11--rainfall
runoff from coal pile, mineral storage and coal handling areas, and construction areas (flow variable and unknown), settling;
and "13-sewage treatment effluent (5,""" gpd avg.), packaged treatment fad li ty. (outfall "13 is discharged through ""5.)
Concentration limits are set on total residual chlorine (outfalls ""3 and ""4), and TSS and O&G (OUtfalls ""1, ""2, and ""5)
on the basis of the BAT categorical guidelines. Net limits for TSS are provided for Outfalls ""1 & ""2. Concentration limits
on TSS in runoff (OUtfalls ""6-"12) are based on BPJ. Concentration limits on 000-5 & TSS at OUtfall "13 are based on BPJ,
and they are equivalent to secondar'( treatment. MaSs limits on copper and iron in Outfall ""5B during boiler cleaning are
derived from the BPT/BAT concentratIon gUldeTInes. The thermal discharges must not cause violations of State water quality
standards, and the permittee must conduct quarterly thermal plume studies to determine the 2.8 .C contour line above ambient
lake tE!TIperature and 1.1 .C isotherms within the contour. TE!Tlperature limits may be proposed at ""4 after review of thermal
monitoring. A compliance schedule in the permit requires that the operator submit a plan for closure or rehabilitation of
the inactive ash pond and associated ash disposal area (outfall ""2) within 18 months of the permit issue date. within 9"
days, the permittee must submit a plan to monitor the entrainment of fish and other aquatic species on the intake structure.
The study may lead to redesign to comply wi th section 316 (b) of CWA. The permit includes a reopener clause for promulgatIOn
of standards or guidelines. No BMP plan is required.

sanitary waste (7,000 gpd) treated by comminution, activated sludge, settling and
chlorination; 004--10w volume wastes other than demineralizer wastes (0.70 mgd max.),
treated by oil/water separation, sedimentation, skimming, API separator, skimming, and
neutralization; 005--metal cleaning wastes and boiler blowdown (0.05 mgd max.) ,
treated by chemical precipitation, sedimentation, and neutralization; and 006--10w
volume (demineralizer) wastes (flow unknown), treatment identical to that for 004.
BAT steam electric effluent guidelines are used to set concentration limits on free
available chlorine (Outfalls 001 and (02); O&G and TSS (Outfalls 004-0(6); total Cu
and total Fe (Outfall 0(5). Mass limits for Outfall 005 are calculated by multiplying
the BAT concentration limits by the five-year average high flow. The concentration
limits for Outfall 003 (BOD-5 and TSS) are based on a BPJ deteunination of BAT llinits.
Thermal limits for Outfalls 001 and 002 are based on water quality and a BPJ
deteunination of BAT. The theunal limits apply outside the perimeter of a mixing zone
335 meters long by 228 meters wide. No compliance schedule is included in the permit,

MS0000671: Rockwell International, Inc., located in Grenada, Mississippi (about 100
miles south of Memphis, Tennessee), is in the Electroplating Category (40 CFR 413) and
manufactures finished automobile wheel covers (SIC 3471) by electroplating chromium
onto wheel cover stampings (production of 50,000 units per day). The facility
discharges to Riverdale Creek thence into the Yalobusha River from a single outfall:
001-treated process water (0.403 mgd avg./0.620 mgd max.). Wastewater treatment
consists of chromium reduction and recovery, chemical coagulation, and sedimentation.
Sanitary wastes are discharged to the POTW. The basis for effluent limitations is
water quality standards and BPJ. Both mass limits and concentration limits are
established for TSS, total chromium, and hexavalent chromiu~, but only a concentration
limit is set on O&G. Both sets of chromium limits are less stringent than those on
the existing permit, because Rockwell had been unable to comply with the existing
limit. Biological monitoring is required, within 60 days and shall consist of static
24 hour bioassay screening tests with fathead minnows or water fleas followed by a 96
hour static test to determine the 96 hour LC50 if less than 90% survival is recording
in the initial screening test. The compliance schedule calls for construction of
dikes and conveyances by January 1, 1982 to segregate non-process waters from the
equalization basin and an engineering study of the existing treatment system by
september 1, 1982, to determine modifications needed for meeting the new limits. A
BMP plan is not required, but a reopener clause is included.

MS000148l: Chevron U.S~, Inc. of pascagoula, Mississippi, is in the Petroleum
Refining Category (40 CFR 419, Subpart B) and refines 290,000 barrels per day of crude
oil to produce assorted petroleum products, including petroleum coke (SIC 2911). The
facility also manufactures anhydrous ammonia, para-xylene, and sulfur (SIC 2873, 2869,
and 2819). There are seven discharges (Outfalls 001, 002, 005, 006, and 007 discharge
to the Mississippi Sound and Outfall 003 and 004 discharge to the Bayou Casotte), as
follows: Outfall 001 is made up of process water, ballast wastewater, and storilMater
runoff (7.7 mgd)j Outfalls 002, 003, 005, and 007 consist of tankfield runoff (2.73
mgd)j Outfall 004 is storilMater runoff from coke storage piles (0.075 mgd)j and
Outfall 006 consists of stonnwater runoff and decant from dredge spoils (0.3 mgd).
Treatment of process wastewater consists of oil-water separation, air flotation, and a
series of aeration and stabilization lagoons. Stonnwater runoff is collected in
surface impoundments for settling or oil removal before discharge. The basis for the
limitations at Outfall 001 are BeT and BAT effluent guidelines for Petroleum Refining.
Effluent guidelines limitations for tankfield runoff are reserved, therefore, the BPJ
basis for these limitations are guidelines in 40 CFR 4l9.23(c), May 9, 1974. Outfall
004 limitations are also based on BPJ and Outfall 007 requirements are based on
Mississippi Water Quality Certification Permits for hydraulic dredging. Biomonitoring
is required at Outfall 001j however, previous bioassays indicate 100% survival of the
test organisms. No BMP plan is required.

MS0001775: Morton Thiokol, Incorporated, of Moss Point, Mississippi, is in the
Organic Chemicals Category (40 CFR 414), and manufactures 100,UOO Ibs/day of
polysulfide, polyurethane, and polybutadiene rubbers; acrylates; and miscellaneous
chemicals. Wastewaters are collected separately throughout the plant. Non-process
wastewaters consisting of 0.86 mgd cooling water and stormwater runoff (Outfall 001)
are joined by the effluent from an aerobic sanitary sewage treatment unit (Outfall
002), and sent to a polishing and equalization pond, thence to the Escatawpa River.
All process wastes are collected in a lagoon and disposed of by injection into
subsurface waters. This permit is based on BPJ in the absence of promulgated effluent
guidelines. Results of water quality modeling performed on the EscataWPa River
allocated 100 Ibs/day BOD and no ammonia to Thiokol. COD is based on a COD:BOD ratio
of 5.0, with a variability factor of 1.5 for BOD and COD. TSS is present in
significant amounts only during rainfall events and has a variability factor of 2.0.
Secondary treatment limitations are used as the basis for Outfall 002 requirements.
Several special conditions are applicable to the subsurface disposal system: 1) all
process wastewater containing pollutants must be discharged to the system; 2) Thiokol
must provide adequate pretreatment of process waste prior to injection such that the
injected waste will be compatible with the physical, chemical, and biological
characteristics of the recei ving aquifer; 3) the maximum allowable bottom-hole
pressure during the injection must be 0.55 psi/foot of depth of the bottom end of the
injection pipe; and 4) Thiokol must monitor water quality and pressure in the
injection zone and aquifer above the injection zone in accordance with a specified
schedule. Morton Thiokol currently is able to meet the permit limitations, so no
schedule of compliance is included.

MS0001970: Conoco Chemicals Company in Aberdeen, Mississippi, is in the Plastics and
Synthetics Category (40 CPR 416, Subpart A). The production capacity at the facility
is as follows: 480 million pounds/year of PVC resin; 73 million pounds/year of PVC
dry blend; 65 million pounds/year of PVC compound; and 25 million pounds/year of
Plasticizer (SIC 2821 and 2869). There are four discharges to the James Creek.
Outfall 001 is 1.617 mgd process water after receiving biological waste treatment
consisting of an API separator, settling basins and aeration lagoons. Outfall 002 is
0.047 mgd stormwater, and Outfall 003 is 0.223 mgd stormwater and once through cooling
water. TreatiTent of stormwater and cooling water consists of sedimentation. Outfall
004 consists of 0.063 mgd untreated stormwater runoff and once through pump seal
water. The basis for the BPJ determination of the effluent limits at Outfall 001 are
results of an organic loading model developed for the James Creek area and EPA
publications on the level of risk associated with priority pollutants. Due to the
presence of certain priority pollutants, biomonitoring consisting of 96 hr static
screening tests on 100% wastewater is required. It is BPJ that the limitations at
Outfalls 002 and 003 represent BAT. Since Outfall 004 is made up of non-contact
water, monitoring requirements are BPJ. Interim limits established for Outfall 001
are based on maintaining the present degree of treatment with an increase in
production. A schedule of compliance calls for construction of additional waste
abatement facilities and compliance with the final effluent limitations by April 30,
1983.

and has an average daily electric production (SIC 4911) of 1,620 MWH. The plant
discharges to the Leaf River (critical flow of 750 cfs) from three outfalls: 002--
treated ion exchange water and boiler blowdown (0.0049 mgd avg.); 004--once-through
non-contact cooling water (43.3 mgd avg./76.6 mgd max.); and 006-oil tank runoff
(variable). After pH adjustment, OUtfall 002 is combined with Outfall 004 and then
discharged. The mass limits on TSS & O&G for Outfall 002 are calculated using the
five-year high monthly average flow rate from discharge monitoring reports. This flow
rate is multiplied by the average and maximum BAT concentration limits from the
categorical guidelines (40 CFR 423, Subpart C) to produce the mass limits. (The BAT
concentration limits are also used as limits for this outfall.) Concentration limits
for C12 (Outfall 004) and O&G (Outfall 006) and a pH limitation (combined OUtfalls
002 and 004, and Outfall 006) are considered by the permit writer to represent BAT for

MS0002941: The St. Regis Paper Company plant of Monticello, Mississippi, (central
area of state) is in the Unbleached Kraft Subcategory of the Pulp, Paper & paperboard
Category (40 CPR 430, Subpart A) and produces 1843 tons/day of unbleached kraft pulp, paper
and linerboard (SIC 2611,2621,2631). The plant discharges 31.7 mgd of process wastewater
a water quality limited section of the Pearl River. Treatment consists of primary
clarification with sludge used as boiler fuel, strong waste equalization and dewatering,
90 acres of extended aeration activated sludge basins, and a 220 acre wastewater holding
reservoir. A system of BMP'S, dikes, etc. collect spills and storm water for routing
through the treatment system. Domestic waste is collected separately but is treated in
the process wastewater treatment system. The basis for BAT limitations is a
winter/summer variable wasteload allocation for BOD; proposed effluent guidelines
(40 CFR Part 430, Subpart A-430.14) for toxics using the following production factors:
pentachlorophenol-0.0013 lb/1000 (max); Trichlorophenol-0.0016 lb/1000 lb (max); and the
existing BPT limits for Total Suspended Solids. The BOD wasteload model was run at a
winter temperature (October-May) of 27°C and a summer temperature (June-Sept.) of 30°C;
BOD-5 is converted to ultimate BOD using a factor of 4.1 for the St. Regis wastewater
effluent. Equivalent average concentrations at average wastewater flow of 31.7 mgd
are: BOOS - 28 mg/l (summer) & 38 mg/l (winter); TSS-84 mg/l. OUtfall 002 discharges
9.6 mgd of non-contact cooling water. A reopener clause is included.

MS0003042: Masonite Corporation, Laurel, Mississippi, (S.& quadrant of state) is in
the Timber Products processin Cat 0 (40 CFR 429) and produces smooth-one-side
hardboard (productlon of 1834 tons d) and smooth-two-side hardboard (207 tons/d) (SIC
2499). The facility discharges to Tallahala Creek from three outfalls: 001--treated
process wastewater (2.28 mJd avg./4.6 mJd max./l.78 mgd min.); 002 and 003--
unregulated stormwater runoff (flow variable and unknown). Process wastewater is
treated by contact stabilization activated sludge, folloYoed by an aerated P'?lishing
lagoon and long-term impoundment in ponds with aquatic vegetation. Mass TIml ts on
BOO-5 and TSS at Outfall 001 are based on the revoked BCT guidelines (40 CFR 429.62,
revoked February 17, 1982). BOD-5 is further limited by a water quality-based
wasteload allocation equation, which is a function of temperature and stream flow.
The maximum temperature limit is based on water quality. In addition to monitoring of
flow and the limited parameters, biological monitoring and periodic in-stream water
quality monitoring is required. Bioassays shall be 24 hour static screening tests
with fathead minnows or waterfleas, folloYoed by 96 hour static tests to determine the
96 hour LC50 if less than 90% survival in 100% wastewater is recorded in the first
test. Bioassays shall be conducted quarterly for nine consecutive months. No
canpliance schedule or BMP plan is required.

MS0026l40: R & R Processors, Inc. of Carthage, Mississippi (east central area of
state, near Meridian) is in the poultry processing Subcategories of the Meat Products
Category (40 CFR 432, Subpart K (Chicken), Subpart L (Turkey), Subpart J (Renderer).
The facility processes up to 70,000 birds per day, producing fresh and frozen poultry
(SIC 2016) and rendered by-products (SIC 2077). Process wastewaters receive oil and
grease separation, anaerobic lagoon treatment and aerobic lagoon treatment prior to
discharge from OUtfalls 001 and 002 (0.2 mgd total) to a water quality limited
section of pickens Creek. The basis for limitation is a wasteload allocation computed
from a water quality model of the receiving stream. The model allows a minimum
dissolved oxygen sag at Q7-l0 to 2.0 mg/l one mile downstream with an average daily
discharge concentration of 29 mg/l for BOD-5 (60 lb/day). Average ammonia limits of
17 mg/l also are set by the model. The two discharges from the facility have been
considered under a bubble conce~t in which the sum of discharge values of both
outfalls equals the total facillty discharge, except for fecal coliform which was
determined as the average of both outfalls. Categorical limits from proposed and
withdrawn effluent guidelines (proposed April 24, 1974, but not promulgated) based on
production figures do not provide sufficent water quality protection to prevent septic
conditions in the receiving stream and, hence, were not used.

NC0004375: Sodyeco, Incorporated (fonnerly Martin Marietta - Sodyeco Division),
located in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, is in the Organic Chemicals Category
(40 CFR 414). The facility manufactures a variety of industrial organic chemicals
(SIC 2869), primarily for the textile industry, resulting in one total discharge to
the Catawba River. Outfall 001 consists of the effluent from a 3.9 mgd activated
sludge wastewater treatment facility consisting of a series of earthen basins for
thiosulfate oxidation, acid neutralization, and gypsum settling; an aeration lagoon;
secondary clarifiers; post chlorination; a polishing pond; post aeration; and a sludge
lagoon. Permit limitations and conditions are BPJ in the absence of promulgated
guidelines. The effluent limits for oxygen demanding parameters (seasonal BOD and
amnonia) are determined based on the flows released from the turbines at an upstream
hydroelectric plant. Discharge limitations are calculated using an equation based on
the actual stream flow rate when the 24 hr flow rate is less than 329 cfs between 7pm
and 7am, and when there are no turbines in operation at 7 am. When at least one
turbine begins operation after 7 am, the numerical limits specified in the permit
become effective. The flow used to calculate the limits is the minimum daily average
flow, as required by North Carolina regulations. The effluent limitations for fecal
coliform, temperature and dissol ved oxygen are water qual i ty based. There is no
schedule of compliance and a BMP plan and biomonitoring are not required.

(N.W. of Charlotte) is in the Knit Fabric Finishing Subcategory of the Textile Mill
Category (40 CPR 410.50) and produces 20,000 lb/d of 100% polyester, 100% cotton, and
50/50 blends (SIC 2257-circular knit fabric mills). The company uses non-metallic
dyes in their operation. Outfall 001 is process waste (100,000 gpd design capacity)
recei ving batch treatn,ent in a physical/chanical treatment systan consisting of
influent sump, dual cloth media filters, 3-10,000 gal. holding tanks, chlorination,
dechlorination by hydrazine, 3-20,000 gal. storage tanks, final filtration, and ~
adjustment. An aerated lagoon with recycle to plant operations was added 1981 to
provide biological treatment. The effluent from the physical/chanical plant was
discharged to the POTW pending start-up of the lagoon. The basis for BPT/BAT mass
limitations is the final effluent guidelines using production of 10,000 lb/d. The
concentration of phenols is limited by water quality criteria. The discharge is to
Walker Branch, to Clark Creek, and then to the south fork of the Catawba River.

N00000248: The Amoco oil Company refinery in Mandan, NO (central area of state,
across the Missouri River from Bismarck) is in the Topping and Cracking Subcategories
of the Petroleum Refining Category (40 CPR 419, Subparts A & B) and refines 60,000 bbl
per day of crude oil to produce oil, diesel oil, and residual oil. The plant has a
process configuration of 5 and a process factor of 0.88 per 40 CFR 419.31. The plant
discharges to the Missouri River through Outfall 002; Outfall 001 only discharges
during heavy rain. Treabnent consists of API separator, oil recovery, neutralization,
lagoon, various settling pits, 11 septic tanks, and a series of 11 cascade ponds which
are inhabited by wildlife. The basis for BeT/BAT limitations are the following BPJ
determinations: (1) 80% of BPT mass 1 imi ts per 40 CFR 419.22 and 419.31 using 60,000
bbl/d production, a size factor~1.04 and a process factor of 0.88 which yields
production factor of 54.91 x .80 = 43.93; and (2) continuation of BPT concentration
limits for TSS, oil and grease, total phenols, and pH to avoid backsliding and to meet
state water quality standards. The plant currently meets the new limits, so no
implenentation schedule is required.

NE0000701: Dorsey Laboratories of Lincoln, NE, is in the pharmaceutical Manufacturing
Category (Mixing/Canpounding & Fonnulating Subcategory, 40 CFR 439.40 Subpart D) and
produces over-the-counter and prescription cough and cold preparations, bronchial
dilators, antifungals, antihypertensives, etc. (SIC 2834, Pharmaceutical
preparations). Treated wastewater is discharged at Outfall 001 (17,000 gpd) to Salt
Creek and consists of sanitary wastes (7,900 gpd), equipment wash (7,800 gpd), ana--
deionizer regenerant (1,300 gpd). Cooling tov.er blowjown (9,300 gpd) is discharged to
a stonnwater holding pond that is not regulated. Treabment consists of comminutor,
equalization with chemical addition, plastic media biological tower with 85% recycle,
extended aeration activated sludge package plant, clarification, sand filtration,
chlorination, sludge thickening and filter bed drying. The basis for BCT/BAT permit
limitations to accommodate an increase in production resulting in a flow increase to
24,500 gpd are the effluent guidelines for this subcategory and the secondary
treabment standards because the wastewater consists of about 50% sanitary wastes.
Concentration limits remain unchanged from the previous permit, but mass limits are
increased to allow for the increase in flow. Monitoring requirements are required for
four toxic pollutants, and a reopener clause allows numerical limits to be imposed if
warranted. The permit contains no schedule of canpliance as the treabment plant is
meeting the concentration limits, but a BMP plan is required.

NE0001210: Monroe Auto Equipment Company (a division of Tenneco Automotive)
manufactures 38,000~40,000 shock absorbers per day (SIC 3714, Motor Vehicle
Accessories) at its plant in Cozad, Nebraska. The facility is in the Metal Finishing
Category (40 CFR 433) and the Cold Forming Subcategory of the Iron and Steel
Manufacturing Category (40 CFR 420, Subpart J). Process operations include cold
forming, welding, metal finishing, hard chromium electroplating, and painting.
Outfall 001 is the combined plant discharge consisting of 190,000 gpd of treated
process wastewater and contact cooling water plus 197,000 gpd of noncontact cooling
water. Outfall 002 consists of cooling water from the plater cooling coils. The
discharges are to Dawson Co. Drainage Ditch No.4 and then to the Platte River.
Process wastewater treatment consists of oil emulsion breaking, chromium reduction, a
solids contactor and settling unit using sodium hydroxide as the coagulant. Sludge is
pumped to storage lagoon #1, and storage lagoon #2 receives overflow from lagoon #1 as
well as oily wastewater. Sanitary waste from some 450 employees is discharged to the
POTW. The basis for the Chromium, TSS, oil and Grease, and pH limits is BPJ, which is
more stringent than the standards specified in the guidelines. Monitoring is
required for the other toxic pollutants specified in the guidelines, except for TTO,
Copper and Cyanide. Compliance with the final effluent limitations sPeCified by the
Metal Finishing or Iron and Steel Guidelines is not required under the term of this
permit. The monthly average limit for hexavalent chromium is set at the limit of
detection (0.05 mg/l) and Nebraska's General Numeric Criteria are used to set oil and
grease limits at 10 mg/l (max). Wastewater monitoring for toxic metals and
groundwater monitoring to determine the potential of groundwater contamination from
the two lagoons and the borrow pit are required in 1 year, as is a BMP plan. If
groundwater contamination is discovered, it will constitute another discharge and the
permi t wi 11 be reopened.

NE~~26565: ValrXJnt Indust~ies, Inc. of Valley, NE (omaha area) is in the Iron & steel Manufacturin~cat~ory (4~ CFR 42~)
and is the worlu's largest manufacturer of center-pivot and linear irrigatlOn systE!TIs (SIC 3523). T Y a so produce steel
tubes, threaded pipe, and casing (SIC 3317), street and area light poles (SIC 3441), electrical transmission poles, traffic
signal poles, and COr~G5:on protection equipment. Production operations include metal fabrication (Cold Forming Subcategory,
42e;lee sutpart J), hot-dip galvanizing (Hot coatings Subcategory, 42e.12e Subpart L) (SIC 3479), alkallne cleanlng, wlth no
discharge (4e CFR 420.11~ Subpart K), acid pickling (4e CFR 42e.9~ Subpart K), and painting and product assembly. As of 1982
the plant had no end of pipe process wastewater treatment, but did have two activated sludge package plants for sanitary
wast~s (Outfalls ee8 ,,13J.4). Killed pickle acid was neutralized and discharged batchwise to a lined evaporation pond, which
did not function jue to expanded production beyond design capacity and reduced evaporation due to buildup of salts. The pond
water periodically was plIT1ped out to the "central drainage ditch" that splits the plant property and which was darrmed to
provide a substantial reservoir that receives flow from a total of 120utfalls. The previous permit only regulated the
periodic discharge from the drainage ditch at Outfall eel at the dam and Outfall ee2, which was contact and non-contact
cooling Rnd rinse vater. The discharge at eel is to a county drainage ditch, which flows several miles to the platte River.
Both of thesE> outfalls werE' eliminated in the present permit and limits were placed on each of tre 12 newly designated
outialls, wnich are identified as follows: e13 - galvanizing waste streams & pumpuuc from pickle acid kill pond; ~14
discharge from sanitary waste package plant (west) which also receives paint bootl. drainage, process waste from the large
pipe mill (Bldg. 523) and roof drains; ee8 discharge from sanitary waste package plant (east); ~e7 process waste from
large diameter pipe mill (Bldg. 5~2) and welding (Bldg. 5e3); ee3 discharge frow pipe mill and paint booth; ~~4 discharge
from alkaline cleaning and phosphating (5 gpd); ee5, ee6, ee9, ~le, ~ll, & ~12 non-process water, roof drains, etc. There
are no measurE!TIents of process water usage or wastewater flow, but the total plant flow was estimated to be e.428 mgd. The
central drainage ditch is unlined and is believed to leak substantial quantities of untreated process wastewater into the
sandy soils below, thus creating the potential for significant pollution of a major groundwater supply, the Ogallala aquifer
at a depth of 87 feet. For purposes of this permit, the central drainage and groundwater underlying it have been designated
as "navigable waters" and "waters of the state," respectively. The basis- for mass limitations at Outfall e13 is the BAT and
BCT effluent guidelines using production of 142 kkg/d (156 tpd) of steel with the sums of the following average/maximum-
production factors (in kg/kkg) for both the Acid pickling Subcategory (sulfuric acid pickling of pipe, tube, and other
products) and the Hot coating Subcategory (galvanizing): TSS - (.e626/.146) + (.~751/.175); O&G - (.e2e9/.e626) ~
(.e25e/.e751); Lead - (.eee313/.e~e939) + (.eee376/.ee113); and Zinc (.eee2~9/.e~~626) + (.~ee25e/.ee~751). The combined
BAT and BCT guidelines for these subcategories are the same as the BPT guidelines. Outfall e~3 is limited based on BMP
control; Outfalls ee8 & e14 have BCT limits based on secondary treatment standards (4~ CFR 133); and the rE!Tlaining outfalls
have no discharge of wastewater pollutants limits, including process wastes at Outfalls ~e4 and e~7, based on BPJ and zero
discharge guidelines for the Cold Forming Subcategory. Interim limits are continued for Outfall ~el for 18 months or July 1,
1984, and the schedule of initiation calls for completion of a groundwater monitoring program in 6~ days and submission of a
BMP plan by 6-15-83. plans for construction of new wastewater treatment facilities must be submitted by 6-15-83, with
compllance of final effluent limits and completion of groundwater monitoring program and implementation of the BMP plan by
July 1, 1984.

NJ0!3!3!354!3: The Ciba-Geigy Corporation plant in Summit, New Jersey (W. of Newark) is in
the Phannaceutical Manufacturing Category (413 CFR 439) and produces medicinal
chemicals and botanical products (SIC 2833) and mixes and formulates phannaceutical
preparations (SIC 2834). Process wastewater is partially discharged to the POTW, but
non-contact cooling water and in-plant stann water are discharged at Outfall 001 (.307
mgd) and Outfall 002 (.131 mgd) to the Passaic River. Outfalls 003 & 004 discharge
in-plant stonn water, and outfall 005 discharges in-plant and municipal stann water.
The basis for BAT limitations is a BPJ extension of existing pennit limits and a
decision that BPT = BAT for these non-contact cooling water and storm water
discharges. The limit for temperature at Outfall 002 is based on unspecified
EPA guidelines for non-contact cooling water. All water collected in diked areas
exerting a COD greater than 25 mg/l must not be discharged directly to the receiving
waterway. Quality assurance monitoring practices require duplicate and spiked samples
be run on 5% of the samples or at least on one sample per month. External qual i ty
control samples from the EPA Region II lab must be analyzed annually by the permittee
or his contract laboratory. Monitoring for chromium, zinc, and copper at Outfalls 001
& 002 is not required unless a corrosion inhibitor containing these metals is used for
water treatment. No schedule of compliance or BMP plan is required in the pennit.
The pennit contains a reopener clause for toxic effluent limitations.

NJ0003107: The Volco Brass & Copper Company of Kenilworth, New Jersey, (S.W. of
Newark) is in the Copper Forming Category (40 CFR 468) and is a secondary manufacturer
producing rolled, drawn, extruded, cast, and annealed copper alloy strip and wire.
Process wastewater is treated by the Lancy System (neutralization, sedimentation, and
electrodeposition) and discharged from Outfall 001 to a storm drain and thence to the
Elizabeth River. Contact cooling water from the annealing process is discharged from
Outfalls 002 and 003 to the storm drain without treatment. The basis for BAT effluent
limitations is the maximum effluent concentrations allowed by the New Jersey
Water Quality Standards (N.J.A.C. 7: 9-4 et ~.). Monitoring requirements call for
the analysis of duplicate and spiked samples on 5% of the samples or at least one
sample per month, and annual external quality control reference samples are required.
Sampling is not required for total chromium and zinc for Outfalls 002 and 003 if
chromium and zinc inhibitors are not used in the contact cooling water.

(Phillipsburg area across NJ/PA border from Bethlehem, PA), is in the
Pulp, Paper and Paperboard Category (40 CFR 430) and produces specialty papers (SIC
2621) for the automotive industry. The plant discharges into the Musconetcong River
immediately upstream of its confluence with the Delaware River from a single outfall:
.001--treated process wastewater (0.87 mgd avg./0.980 mgd max.). Wastewater treatment
consists of coagulation, flocculation, and sedimentation. Concentration limits are
set for TSS, O&G, BOD, dissolved oxygen (minimum of 4.0 mg/l) , and residual chlorine
on the basis of guidelines in the Delaware River Basin Commission Administrative
Manual - Part III Basin Regulations. The limits for conventional pollutants (TSS,
O&G, BOD, and pH) correspond to secondary treatment. Standards for temperature,
dissolved oxygen, and color are water ~ality based. The EPA Region II quality
assurance practices for monitoring requlre that duplicate and spiked samples be run on
5% of the samples, or at least one sample per month. In addition, the permittee or
his contract laboratory must analyze an EPA-provided quality control reference sample
for each pollutant annually. No ccmpliance schedule is included, and a BMP plan is
not required. The permit includes a reopener clause for promulgation of toxic
effluent limitations.

NJ1313134952: The Hoffman-LaRoche, Inc. plant in Bel videre, New Jersey, (N.W. corner of
state) is in the Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Category (4OCFR439) and produces vitamin
C and derivatives, sulfa drugs, bulk agricultural antibiotics, dry vitamin powders,
ribose, and sodium sulfate (SIC 2833, medicinal chemicals and botanical products).
The plant discharges 3.13 mgd (avg.) and 4.13 mgd (max.) of treated process wastewater
and treated storm water through Outfall 13131 to the Delaware River. Treatment is not
specified. The basis for limitations is a BPJ modification of the previous permit in
1981 to allow for increased production. BOD5 mass limits were increased from 239/478
kg/d to 455/9113 kg/d, but the minimum monthly average % removal was increased from 85%
to 95%, based on projected raw BOD5 wasteload of 11,521 kg/d. This level of removal
is greater than BPT guidelines and represents 96% removal. TSS limits were increased
fram 159/318 kg/d to 455/9113 kg/d, and a minimum monthly average removal of 85% of the
projected raw TSS wasteload of 4,818 kg/d is required, along with concentration limits
of 413/813 mg/1. COD limits were increased from 8325/166513 kg/d to 9545/1913913 kg/d
based on BPT guidelines recommendation of 74% reduction in raw COD wasteload of
36,712/73,423 kg/d. The color limits were changed fram 11313 Pt-Co color units (daily
maximum) to 11313 Pt-Co color units (3f3-day average), and the Free Residual Chlorine
limit of 1.13 mg/l (max) was eliminated altogether. If the discharge fails the monthly
flow-through bioassay toxicity test, the permittee must determine the 96hr TL-5f3 with
a static test using 5 effluent concentrations plus a river water control, which are to
be changed every 24 hours with fresh solutions of the same concentration. The
permittee must also investigate the effect of the discharge on the receiving water
concurrently. The permit includes no schedule of compliance.

NJ0005240: Rollins Environmental Services operates an industrial waste treatment and
disposal facility (SIC 4953) at Bridgeport, NJ, located near the Delaware River
between Wilmington, DE and philadelphia, PA. There is no guidelines category for this
facility. Treatment includes chemical, biological, and thermal processes, with an
average discharge of 0.839 mgd at Outfall 001 to Raccoon Creek, tributary to the
Delaware River. The basis for BAT limitations is a BPJ review of the DMR results from
6/80 to 5/81 for BOD-5, COD, TSS, O&G, NH3' Ba, Be, Mo & Al. Anti-Backsliding
provisions of the CWA (40 CFR 122.62(1)) were used to set limits for TDS, As, Cd, Cr
(Hex), Pb, Zn & Hg. Limits for temperature and Fecal Coliform are the same as the
previous permit. The permittee is required to monitor its discharge quarterly for 129
priority pollutants and to begin implementing a BMP plan by 8-1-81. Biomonitoring is
required every 2 months for a 1 year period to determIne the 96 hr LC-50 uSIng static
or flow-through bioassay tests as proposed in a plan to be submitted in 3 months by
Rollins. Analytical quality assurance practices using spiked and duplicate samples
must be run on 5% of the samples or at least 1 sample per month by Rollins or its
contract Lab. The permit contains a standard reopener clause for toxic pollutants.

NJ0005746: Asarco, Inc. operates an ilmenite surface mine in Lakehurst, N.J., (middle
of state) and is in the Titanium Ores Subcategory of the Ore Mining and Dressing
Category (40 CFR 440.70 Subpart G(3)). Ilmenite (FeTi03) is a heavy iron-black
mineral used as an ore for titanium (SIC 1099, Metal Ores, NEe). It is wet
concentrated by gravity separation from a lighter sand fraction. The sand is returned
to the mining area, and the ilmenite is dried for shipping. Process water is recycled
through settling ponds and make-up water comes from wells. Excess water (1.44 mgd) is
clarified and retained in a setting pond before discharge at Outfall 001 to the Green
Branch of Wrangle Creek. The only pollutant is inorganic suspended solids, which is
regulated in the BCT permit at a concentration of 40 mg/l (max). The basis for the
TSS limit is not gIVen. Temperature is regulated at 30°C and pH can range from 3.5 to
7.0, consistent with the slightly acidic streaTIS in the area. The pH of the effluent
may not be lOW2r than the pH of the receiving stream. The permittee must comply in an
unspecified manner with the Ocean County 208 Water Quality Management plan and the
Ocean County utilities Authority 201 Facilities Plan. No schedule of compliance is
included, but a standard re-opener clause for toxic substances is included.

NJ0029327: Peerless Tube Co., Bloomfield, New Jersey, (W. of Newark) is in the
Aluminum Forming Category (40 CFR 467) and makes aluminum metal cans (SIC 3411). The
discharge permitted is non-contact cooling water, flow not given. The purpose of the
pennit is to allow Peerless to switch the discharge frQ~ the municipal sewer to the
stream. Outfall 001 flows into Wigwam Brook and then to the Passaic River. The
treatment required is simply proper housekeeping, unless Cr, Zn or Cu corrosion
inhibitors are used for water treatment. If so, chemical precipitation may be
required. The basis for limitations is EPA Region 2 guidance for cooling and
stormwater discharge consistent with a 402 determination (mamo date 12/08/78). There
are no construction or compliance schedule requirements. The BPJ limitations for
OUtfall 001 are in concentration, and require monitoring of COD, TSS, petroleum
hydrocarbons, chromium, zinc and copper. The latter three metals need not be
monitored if they are not being introduced into the system as corrosion inhibitors for
water treatment purposes. TSS is not limited in the pennit, but a limitation may be
imposed after receipt of monitoring data. An essentially identical permit (NJ0029335)
is issued for an adjacent Peerless Tube Company facility.

NM0028l00: Gulf oil Corporation's Mt. Taylor Mine, in Cibola County, New Mexico, is
in the Ore Mining and Dressing Category (40 CFR 440) and operates an uranium mine
(Subpart C). The facility has a total discharge of 7.8 mgd to an unnamed tributary of
San MigueJLCreek, consisting of mine dewatering and sanitary wastewater. Mine
dewatering is treated for suspended solids removal, radium reduction, and uranium
reduction. Sanitary waste has secondary treatment and chlorination and is monitored
at Outfall OlA. The permit limitations reflect standard effluent limitations
developed for Uranium Mining Permits in the Ambrosia Lake, New Mexico, area. These
are based on a combination of effluent guidelines and State of New Mexico
requirements. At Outfall 001, TSS and pH are BPT, the remaining limited parameters
are BPT=BAT, and the other reporting requirements at Outfall 001 and the limitations
at Outfall OlA are based on New Mexico requirements.

NY0000574: The G.M. co~., Chevrolet Motor Di vision plant in TOnal>.Onda, NY (Nlagara Falls/Buffalo area) is located on the
TOnawanda Channel of t e Niagara Rl ver and manufactures automotive engines and parts (SIC 3714). The three main areas, metal
casting foundry, steel forge plant, and motor assembly plant are operated 7 days per week, 24 hours per day. These
operations place the facility in the Iron & Steel Manufacturi Cat or (40 CPR 420) and the Foundries C'.ategory (40 CFR
464). Production is as follows: stee forg ngs (468 ); grey Hon castings (1,450 tpd); engines (8,550/day). Outfall 001
currently is the total plant flow (24.3 mgd) from general manufacturing and stormwater runoff. It has interim limits until
June 30, 1984, after which time final limits become effective. The final limits are for three re-defined outfalls: 001
general manufacturing and stormwater runoff, (20 mgd) less treated foundry wastewater (4.3 mgd) which is to be recycled at
new Outfall 003 to provide zero discharge, and OUtfall 002 (0.8 mgd) consisting of treated oily wastewater from forge and
engine parts manufacturing. Wastes from the foundry and steel forge plant currently receive preliminary treatment including
oil separation, chemical coagulation; and settling. After preliminary treatment these waste streams are combined with all
other waste flows, runoff, and cooling water before receiving the main treatment which includes gravity settling, chemical
flocculation, gravity separation, and dissolved air flotation before discharge to the Ni~ra River. proposed treatment of
foundry wastewater to achieve essentially zero discharge (96% recycle) at Outfall 003 is 1 and settle treatment,
recarbonation, and aeration. The rationale for the proposed permit is BPJ to protect water quality. Metal limits are based
on BAT as defined by state guidelines for limits on toxic substances. All permit limits for 001 except 0 & G are on a net
basis because of the presence of significant quantities of the limited pollutants in the influent from the Niagara River:-
The phenol limit is based on state water quality standards. Cyanide was not limited because of the low concentration and
limited sampling showing its presence. organic sol vents were not limited because Department of Environmental Conservation
(DEJ::) and permit application sornpling did not detect these compounds in the discharge. The schedule of compliance calls for
an engineering study within 8 months of the effective date to convert the castings plant wastewater treatment system to zero
discharge, final plans within 10 months of EDP, and completion of construction by May 30, 1984 in order to meet the
compliance date of July 1, 1983. A BMP plan also is required within 8 months of the effective date.

(40 CFR 469) and produces approximately 11,600 electric motors, 390 electric gear
motors, and 150 electric controls per month (SIC 3621 - Electric Motors and Controls).
Approximately 850,000 gpd of wastewater are discharged from the facility. About
150,000 gpd is discharged to the Cheektowaga Sanitary District and the remaining
700,000 gpd of primarily non-contact cooling water, contact cooling water, and
blowdown is discharged, without treatment, into the U-Crest Ditch in the Cheektowaga
Drainage District No.3 via three outfalls: 001 - 220,000 gpd; 002 - 285,000 gpd; 003
- 190,000 gpd. These average discharges include 65 - 70,000 gpd of storm water runoff
through each of the three outfalls. Limits for conventional pollutants are set using
BPJ. Monitoring-Only limits are imposed for four organic compounds and for TOe. The
suspected source of these organics is contaminated groundwater infiltrating into

NY0001635: The Olin Corporation plant in Niagara Falls, NY, is in the Inorganic Chemicals Manufacturing Categorr (40 CFR
415), (SIC 2B12, 2B13 & 2B19) and produces the following chemicals: (1) a chlor-alkall facility producing chlor ne gas,
hydrogen, and sodium hydroxide by the electrolysis of sodium chloride, (2) sodium methylate by reacting a sodium(mercury
amalgam with methanol to produce sodium methylate and methyl alcohol, (3) calcium hypochlorite in which soditnn hydroxide is
chlorinated, mixed with lime, and further chlorinated to produce HTH (High Test HyJ;Dch1orite), am (4) sodiUJT1 chlorite in
which a sodium chlorite solution is produced by the reaction of a sodium chlorate/sodium chloride solution with sulfuric
acid, sulfur dioxide, and chlorine. All of the process wastewater generated at the Olin plant is discharged to the Niagara
Falls POTW through Outfalls 001 and 003. Three direct discharges (Outfalls 002, 004, and 005) go to the Diversion Sewer, a
city-owned sewer which empties into the Niagara River below the Falls. The flows through Outfalls 002 (2.B m;Jd), 004 (2.2
m;Jd), and 005 (2.4 m;Jd) are a] J. non-contact cooling water. Two groundwater wells on the Olin site supply some 50% of this
water and the rest is taken directly from the river. Groundwater is necessary because the Niagara River is too hot for a
good part of the year to meet the plant needs. The groundwater source is the major problem with the Olin discharge. It
contains from 2,000 to 5,000 ug/l of priority pollutants and, on occasion, exceeds 40,000 ug/l. The contaminants are
principally volatile chlorinated hydrocarbon priority pollutants. Trichloroethylene and tetrachloroethylene are present in
concentrations up to 1,000 ug/l each. Dichloroethylenes, chloroform, trichloroethane, and tetrachloroethane are present in

NY0002l60: Allied Chemical Corp., Buffalo Works is in the Inorganic Chemicals
Manufacturing Category (40 CFR 415) and the organic Chemicals Manufacturing Category
(40 CFR 414) and is located in South Buffalo on the Buffalo River. Products
manufactured by this facility include nitric and oxalic acids (SIC 2869), and a host
of inorganic industrial chemicals including ammonium thiosulfate, iron nitrate,
potassium nitrite and sulfur trioxide (SIC 2819). Outfall 003 (2.59 mgd) and Outfall
004 (3.50 mgd) both discharge non-contact cooling water, evaporator vacuum jet water,
steam condensate, and stormwater to the Buffalo River. Non-contact cooling water is
taken from Lake Erie and is provided by the Buffalo River Improvement Corporation,
formed by a group of industries to augment the flow in the river. An additional 0.23
mgd of non-contact cooling water is discharged from the ammonium thiosulfate operation
via storm sewers owned by PVS Chemicals, Inc. (see abstract NY00ll043). Rainfall
runoff is discharged via OUtfalls 003 and 004 since the plant's sewer system is
combined. The only treatment the two discharges receive is neutralization. All
process wastewaters from this facility are pretreated at the adjacent Buffalo Color
Company (see abstract NY0002470) and discharged to the Buffalo Sewage Authority
System. The permit does not limit any toxic pollutants. Allied Chemical has
indicated that they once manufactured cadmium and copper nitrate but no longer do so.
Total organic priority pollutants discharged were less than lIb/day. Toxic limits
were not imposed because: (1) in many cases, the effluent concentrations are not
significantly higher than the intake pollutants; (2) the permittee does not use or
produce these chemicals; and (3) the effluent concentrations observed are below
concentrations considered as BAT for this facility. A BMP plan will be required
within 6 months, with non-structural measures implemented in 12 months and structural
measures by June 30, 1984.

NY0002470: The Buffalo Color Corporation is in the Organic Chemicals Manufacturing
Category (40 CFR 414) and produces dyes and organic pigments (SIC 2865). The plant is
located in south Buffalo on the north bank of the Buffalo River, and was founded as
Schoellkopf Aniline and Chemical Works. The facility has also been known as National
Aniline, Buffalo Dye Plant, Speciality Chemicals Division of Allied Chemical
Corporation and most recently, Buffalo Color Corporation, headquartered in West
Patterson, New Jersey. The facility today produces indigo pigments and dyes (Cl vat
Blue 20%), dye intermediates, alkyl anilines, resin chemicals, and food, drug and
cosmetic color dyes (FD & C Colors). It is this country's major domestic producer of
indigo dye used in blue jeans. All process wastewaters originating from this
faci li ty, and from the adjacent All ied Chemical Corp. plant (see abstract NY0002160)
are pretreated before being discharged to the Buffalo Sewage Authority System. The
facility discharges non-contact cooling water and small amounts of boiler blowdown and
steam condensate through Outfalls 006 and 011 (design-20 mgd, total actual-15 mgd).
These discharges receive no treatment before being discharged to the Buffalo River
Non-contact cooling water comes fram Lake Erie and is provided by the Buffalo River
Improvement Corporation, formed by a group of industries to augment the flow of the
river. Rainfall runoff is also discharged via Outfalls 006 and 011 since the
collection systen is combined. Buffalo Color Corporation's permit application and
industrial chemical survey (ICS) indicated that they use, produce and store very large
volumes of chemicals of concern. In particualr, the following amounts of toxics are
used on an annual basis: 18,000 lbs of Chlorobenzene, 140,000 lbs of 1,2
Dichlorobenzene. About 20,000 lbs of PCB's are used in electric transformers.
Hazardous substances in large volumes are also used annually, in particular:
15,600,000 lbs Aniline and 5,000,000 lbs Formaldehyde. TOe is limited by mass as an
indicator pollutant for toxics. A BMP plan is not required.

NY00ll043: PVS Chemicals, Inc. is in the Inorganic Chemicals Manufacturing Category
(40 CFR 415) and is located in South Buffalo adjacent to Allied Chemical's Buffalo
works (see abstract NY0002l60). PVS Chemicals, Inc. purchased sulfuric acid and oleum
manufacturing facilities fram Allied Chemical in October 1981. The facility
discharges non-contact cooling water, boiler blo~own, and steam condensate through
Outfall 001 (3.78 mgd) and Outfall 002 (2.42 mgd) to the Buffalo River. Included in
Outfall 002 is 0.23 mgd of non-contact cooling water discharged from Allied Chemical's
ammonium thiosulfate manufacturing operation. Non-contact cooling water comes from
Lake Erie and is provided by the Buffalo River Improvement Corporatioh, formed by a
group of industries to augment the flow in the river. Since all sewers within the
facility are combined, storm water runoff is included in 001 and 002 during wet
weather. The only treatment these wastewaters receive consists of neutralization
using sodium hydroxide. Lead pipes are used in the manufacture of sulfuric acid, and
lead is limited at the BAT level of 0.3 mg/l based on alkaline precipitation and
settling. Antimony concentrations of 1 mg/l for 002 and BOD concentrations of 230
mg/l for 001 and 276 mg/l for 002 were discovered during a State survey. The source
of these pollutants is unknown. A BMF plan to improve housekeeping and minimize
spills is required within 6 months, with implementation of non-structural measures in
12 months, and construction of structural measures by June 30, 1984.

NY0l023l8: F&M Schaefer Brewery Corporation of Buffalo, NY, manufactures beer, malt
and by-products (SIC 2082), and is in the Miscellaneous FOod and Beverage processing
Category (40 CFR 438). Process and sanitary wastes are discharged to the municipal
sewerage system. About 0.4 mgd of non-contact cooling water is discharged to the
Black Rock Canal via OUtfall 001, generally only during the months of May through
August. Groundwater contaminated with ammonia and sulfides is used for cooling water.
The cooling water previously was not treated before discharge. Sulfides and ammonia
are the pollutants of concern in the groundwater. BAT limits for ammonia and sulfides
are based on achieving state water quality standards after dilution of 2.0 mg/l at pH
8.0 for ammonia and a water quality limit of 1.0 mg/l for sulfides. Interim limits
are in effect from August 1, 1982 (EDP) until August 1, 1983, at which time the one-
year schedule of compliance calls for completion of unspecified construction and
attainment of final limits, if the permittee is unable to meet the final limits at
EDP. The final limits change sulfide limitations from 10/-- mg/l to 2.0/4.0 mg/l; all
other parameters remain unchanged.

OH0000752: LCP Chemicals, a Division of LCP Chemicals and Plastics, located in
Ashtabula, Ohio, is in the Inorganic Chemicals Manufacturing Category (40 CFR 415,
Subpart F). They manufacture approximately 250 tpd of potassium hypochlorite,
chlorine, hydrogen, potassium hydroxide, and chloropicrin (SIC 2812 and 2869). The
current operations result in a total wastewater discharge of 4.3 mgd to Lake Erie.
Outfall 001 consists of process wastewater and non-contact cooling water treated by
reduction, filtration, and neutralization. Solids go to a muds filter before disposal
in an off-site landfill. Two additional internal monitoring points have been
established: Monitoring point 600 is treated effluent from mercury and chlorine
pollution control facilities, established to avoid cooling wate~ dilution; and 800,
the water supply intake. Sanitary waste is treated by the adjoining Union Carbide
Corporation facility. Net effluent limitations at Outfall 001 and the internal
monitoring point 600, are based on effluent guidelines. TSS at Outfall 001 is BPT as
a result of a company request for ease of sampling, and pH is based on water quillty
standards and is consistent with the general guidelines. Mercury and chlorine
residual at moni toring point 600 are BAT (effective 7/1/84). A schedule of camp 1 iance
calls for upgrading of the wastewater treatment facilities in order to achieve BAT
operational levels by July 1, 1984. Biomonitoring and a BMP plan are not required.

washers (SIC 3633). The facility falls into four effluent guidelines categories with
the following production: porcelain Enameling (40 CPR 466) (1,199,230 ft2/d), Metal
Finishing (40 CFR 433) (1,142,120 ft2/d), Mechanical Products (no 40 CPR Number)
(2,341,350 ft2/d) and Plastics Molding and Forming ( 40 CFR 463) (64,850 Ib/d). Three
outfalls discharge a total of 0.302 mgd to the Raccoon Creek as follows: Outfall 001
- 0.262 mgd of treated process waste irau Porcelain Enameling, boiler, Press Roan,
Plastics Dept., Machine Shop, Paint Dept., and strip Building; outfall 002 - 0.030 mgd
of non-contact cooling water from the Bead Room; and Outfall 003 - 0.010 mgd of washer
test water. Process wastes receive treatment consisting of neutralization, flotation,
coagulations and sedimentation, a polishing lagoon, with sludge receiving gravity
thickening, vacuum fil tration and disposal at a landfill. outfall 002 receives
sedimentation, and Outfall 003 receives no treatment. The basis for limits is water
quality standards for dissolved oxygen and pH, and BPJ as a result of negotiations--
with the industry for the remaining pollutants. The peDuit does have a reopener
clause pending the promulgation of effluent guidelines. The limits are somewhat less
stringent than the previous BPT permit for BOD5, TSS, and Oil & Grease as a result of
increased production; however, all other limits are identical. Ohio EPA considers the
permi t to represent BAT/BCT-BPT.

fil tration and recycling, which is then discharged to Outfall 010. Outfall 010
consists only of treated process water fram Outfall 601, groundwater, surface water
runoff and non-contact cooling water and is treated with settling and oil removal
before discharge. The permit regulates only Outfalls 008 and 601. The basis for the
limitations at Outfall 008 are BPJ-BAT and the previous permit. The limitations at
Outfall 601 are based on water quality standards for pHi BPJ-BAT for lead and zinc,
and TSS and O&G are regulated more stringently than BCT. Effluent limitations for
lead and zinc are effective July 1, 1984, the deadline for BAT compliance. The permit
requires compliance upon permit issuance and contains a reopener clause for state
water quality standards.

kraft pulp and paperboard, Unbleached Kraft Subcategory (Part 430.10), (SIC 4236)--
Plywood Subcategory (Part 429.30); (SIC 4292)--particleboard Subcategory (part
429.130); (SIC 2421)--Sawnill Subcategory (Part 429.110). Outfall 001 IS for process
wastes (15 mgd) treated in aerated stabilization basins, and Outfall 002 is for
non-contact cooling water (15 to 25 mgd at 90°F). Both outfalls discharge to a water
quality limited portion of the McKinzie River in the Willamette River basin. There
have been no reported adverse effects on water quality or aquatic organisms outside
the mixing zone in the receiving stream. Sanitary wastes are discharged to the POTW.
The basis for limitations is a BPJ determination of the treatment system capabilities
and water quality standards for the Willamette Basin. Three mixing zones have been
established: (1) Outfall 001--for parameters other than temperature & turbidity, 100'
wide along south bank by 5' upstream by 1500' downstream from outfall; (2) Outfall
001--for temperature & turbidity, 100' wide along south bank by 5' upstream by 40001
downstream from outfall--temperature increase shall not exceed 2°F except within 300'
of outfall; (3) Outfall 002--mixing zone shall not extend beyond the secondary river
channel receiving the discharge plus one-half the width of the main river channel from
the point of confluence to the Hayden Bridge (distance unspecified). The permit also

OR0001627: The Hanna Nickel Smeltin~ Co. in Riddle, OR (S.W. corner of state) operates the only nickel mine known to be
working in this country, extracting nlckel silicate ore from Nickel Mountain using open cut mining. The smelter is located
down the mountain from the mine and produces 80 tpd of ferronickel pigs (SIC 3339, primary Smelting and Refining of
Nonferrous Metals, and SIC 3313, Ferroalloys, not made in the blast furnaces). The ore is dried, screened, crushed and
calcined, followed by melting and refining by the Ugine Process (the lubrication and insulation of a metal bi llet wi th mol ten
glass during hot extrusion) into ferronickel. Process wastewater comes from wet scrubbers for three ore dryers (300 gpm)
which is settled in an upper pond, with sludge returned to the dryers. The overflow discharges to the middle pond, which
also receives non-contact cooling water, stormwater runoff from portions of the smelter complex, the reject pile, and the
slag pile. Tailings from the "skull plant" (where crust buildup on ladles is removed) are sent to a tailings pile, from
which liquids also drain to the middle pond. Slag skimned from reaction ladles after ore mel ting is sprayed with water to
solidify and granulate the slag, and the resulting wastewater is discharged to the middle pond. The wastewater in the middle
pond is recycled; however, a year-round overflow discharges to an 18-acre lower pond, which does not discharge during the
surrrner months. The lower pond also receives runoff and mine drainage from the 2.75 sq. mile Rail Creek basin containing much
of the active mining area and has a considerable discharge (Outfall 001) during the winter to Crawford Creek. Sanitary
wastes (10,000 gpd) are treated by septic tank, sand filter and chlorination and are discharged to the middle pond. Total
mining and smelting operations place the facility in the Slag processing Subcategory of Ferroalloy Manufacturing Category (40
CFR 424.30 Subpart C) and in the Ferroalloy Ores Subcategory of the Ore Mining and Dressmg Category (40 CFR 440.40 Subpart
D). Permit limitations include, in addition to Outfall 001, 3 mine drainage outfalls from the mining operation using the Ore
Mining and Dressing Regulations. The basis for BPT limitations for this permit with a reo~ner clause is the documented
achievable treatment capability of the lower pondlsystem when discharging, and the BPT eff uent gUldelines for Ore Mining and
Dressing. A second set of limits becomes effective for Outfall 001 during the months exceedmg 5 inches rainfall, reflecting
the increased runoff loadings. The limitations during normal rainfall are 40% more stringent than the previous permit, but
are 50% and 33% less stringent than previous average and maximum limits, respectively, during the heavy rainfall months,
which were defined in the previous permit as 6 inches of rain. This relaxation is a BPJ acknowledgment that past limits
inadequately reflected the attainable treatment levels of Hanna's pond system. The permIt also requires that no violation of
Oregon Water Quality Standards occur outside the mixing zone, defined as Crawford Creek from the point of discharge to the
confluence with Cow Creek, and then 5' upstream and 200' downstream of Cow Creek. The permit requires that a BMP plan be
established, that an environmental supervisor be designated, and that a program be initiated to reduce fresh water
consumption by greater reuse of wastewaters.

Outfall 001 discharges a combination of cooling water (14 rngd) and treated process
wastewater (10,000 gpd) to the Columbia River. Outfall 002 is an internal monitoring
point for process wastewater. Treatment is not specified. The basis for ~
limitation at Outfall 002 is the BAT effluent guidelines, using the following
production factors: ammonia (part 418.23)--0.025/0.05 kg NH3-N per 1,000 kg of
product; urea (Part 418.33 (b)) --0.27/0.53 kg NH3-N per 1,000 kg of product and
0.46/0.86 kg organic nitrogen per 1,000 kg of product. The basis for concentration
and other limits at Outfall 001 is state water quality standards, allowing net limits
for NH3-N and Temperature. The mixing zone is described below. The process waste

OR0002542: The Wexerhaeuser Co. mill in Klamath Falls, OR (s.w. area of state near
California border) 1S in the Sawmills and Planning Mills Subcategory of the Tllnber
Products Category (40 CFR 429.110 Subpart K) (SIC 2421). Products include hardboard,
plywood, lumber, and particle board (SIC 4236, 4292). Process wastewater receiving
biological secondary treatment (0.8 mgd) is discharged at Outfall 001; cooling water
(3.6 to 7.0 mgd at 33°C) is discharged at Outfall 002; and Outfall 003 is treated
sanitary wastes (0.159 mgd). All outfalls discharge to the Klamath River. The basis
for limitations is a BPJ extension of previous effluent limits based on treatment
system capabilities and preservation of water quality standards outside of separate
mixing zones for Outfalls 001 and 002. Unspecified use was also made of the effluent
guidelines ~resumably BPT) for this category; however, the facility manufacturers
hardboard by a wet-dry process and no EPA effluent guidelines pertain to this process.
OUtfall 003 limits are based on secondary treatment standards. The permit requires a
BMP plan but does not contain a specific reopener clause. Other permit requirenents
include (1) nutrient addition to the biological treatment systen, (2) a progran to
reduce fresh water consumption through recycle, (3) an environmental supervisor be
appointed, (4) no dredging of the log transport area in the Klamath River without
notification of the state, (5) no discharge of glue wastes, (6) special log handling
methods to minimize the effects on the river, including easy let-down methods to
minimize generation of bark and debris, clearing the river bank and river itself of
bark & debris, and preventing submerged logs, bark, and debris from leaving the boomed
log handling area, and (7) daily inspections and a written operations log for the
treatment plant.

PA0002305: Robertshaw Controls Company in New Stanton Borough, pennsylvania (S.E. of
pittsburgh), is in the Metal Finishing Category (40 CFR 433) Electroplating Category
(40 CFR 413) (SIC 3471). The company produces precision screw machine parts,
thermostats, switches, timers, and stampings and castings. The discharge of plating
rinse wastes (130,500 gpd) plus non-contact cooling water (200,000 gpd) at Outfall 001
is to an essentially dry tributary to Sewickley Creek and represents 94% of the stream
flow. Treatment consists of carbon absorption of mercury rinse wastes, chromium
reduction, cyanide oxidation, neutralization and diatomaceous earth filtration.
Concentration limits are imposed (Outfall 001) to meet Water Quality Standard after
mixing 130,500 gpd of process water with 200,000 gpd of non-contact cooling water.
Mass limits are imposed prior to dilution at internal outfall 101 after the mercury
bearing waste treatment and at internal Outfall 201 after all other treatment. Mass
limits are calculated using the concentrations from the 1980 Draft Development
Document for Metal Finishing. A net 1 imi t of zero for Cd is imposed. The internal
limits are based on BPJ, and all outfall limits are water quality based, using this
mass balance formula:--background + discharge = total. For example, if the background
concentration is zero, then: (discharge flow) X (discharge concentration) = (stream
flow) X (allowable stream concentration). Outfall 002 is non-contact cooling water
and storm water that is not regulated. The permittee will be allov.ed to use bioassay
testing in an attempt to get revised limits. Application data indicates that
noncompliance with nickel and possibly several other metals is likely to occur.
Permittee appeal or diversion to a POTW is likely.

PA0005673: The Union Camp plant in Washington County, Pennsylvania (S.W. of
pittsburgh) produces corrugated pa~rboard (SIC 2653). Three sheets of paperboard are
processed through a corrugator, WhICh applies heat, pressure and starch adhesive to
laminate the layers. Process wastewater is a result of the corrugator wash down since
the plant purchases paper board. There is not an effluent guideline category for this
facility. The process wastewater is 8% of the treated discharge. The remainder is
non-contact cooling water, boiler blovrlown and sanitary wastewater. Treatment is
sedimentation and oil separation of process wastewater followed by packaged activated
sludge and disinfection of all wastewater. The discharge from outfall 001 (0.01 mgd)
to Goose Run provides a 37% increase in stream flow. The permit will be issued for
the duration of five years and is based only on water gualitx concentration limits and
is believed to be equal of more stringent than BAT based limIts. A nitrite-nitrate
background level of 1 mg/l (10 % of water guali ty criteria) is assumed. The maximum
chloroform limit was restricted to 25% of the stream flow capacity. BPJ limits for
chloroform and dichlorobromomethane were set within the detectable level using the
most stringent EPA recommended analysis. A treatability study (Toxics Reduction plan)
is required for the reduction or elimination of zinc, chloroform and
dichlorobromomethane. The winter 1 imi ts for arrnnorua are three times the sumner
limits. Interim limits will be in effect until July 1, 1984. On December 15, 1982,
in response to the permittee's comments on draft permit, the limits for zinc and flow
were increased.

PA0009172: United Piece Dye Works, Inc. of Middletown, Pennsylvania, is in the Woven
Fabric Finishing Subcategory of the Textile Mills Category (40 CFR 410, Subpart D).
They are involved in the commission dyeing and finishing of fabric and have a
production rate of 50,000 lbs/day. They have a total discharge to the Susquehanna
River of 1.5 mgd from Outfall 001. Biological treatment of the process wastes
includes aerated lagoons and anaerobic treatment. The effluent limitations are based
on the final BPT/BAT guidelines for BOD, COD, TSS, sulfide, phenol, chromium and pH
using the above production. Dissolved oxygen and color appear to be water quality
based. Because the facility is involved in the commassion finishing (as defined in 40
CFR 410.01) they were granted additional loading allocations as set forth in 40 CFR
410.42. The final effluent limitations reflect the standards established in the
guidelines plus an additional 50% loading allowance. Instantaneous maximum
concentrations were established for the benefit of field inspectors, as they generally
only take grab samples. No basis for the development of these concentrations is
given. The facility is also required to monitor for three hydrocarbons due to the
presence of chlorinated hydrocarbons in their area.

PA0011371: The Baldwin Hardware Manufacturing Corp. of Reading, PA (45 miles west of
Philadelphia) manufactures decorative hardware by forging, polishing, coating and
plating (SIC 3471) and is in the Electroplating catego~ (40 CFR 413 Subpart A,
Electroplating of Common Metals). Production is 4,980 /day. Process wastewater
(0.25 mgd) is discharged at Outfall 001 following chemical treatment to the Schuylkill
River (Q7-10 = 160 cfs). Treatment proposed consists of wastestream segregation;
contlnuous chemical oxidation of cyanide wastes; continuous chemical reduction of
chranium wastes; blending these effluents with acid and alkaline wastestreams followed
by neutralization, chemical addition, flocculation, final settling, and discharge. The
basis for equivalent mass limits is the calculated concentrations from the suspended
electroplating efflu~uidelines (40 CFR 413.12, revised as of July 1, 1980) using a
flow of 0.25 mgd. All values were canpared with end-of-pipe limits calculated from
water quality criteria, with a 50% in-stream reserve. The effluent guidelines-derived
limits were more stringent than the water quality-derived limits in all cases except
lead, for which BPJ v.as used to assign the water quality limit. Aluminum limits were
set by BPJ using 1.0/2.0 mg/l as requested by the canpany, although the canpany
actually reported a level of 0.12 rrg/l. Maximum daily limits were set using a peaking
factor of 2X. The permit contains a reopener clause, and the schedule of canpliance
calls for completion of unspecified construction by February 1982, and attainment of
operational 1 imi ts by May 1982.

PR0023451: The Warner-Lambert, Inc. plant in Vega Baja, P.R., (25 miles west of San
Juan on coast) is in the pharmaceutical Manufacturing Category (40 CFR 439) and
produces pharmaceutical preparations (SIC 2834) and confectionary products (SIC 2065).
The plant uses approximately 105,000 gpd of well water, of which 10,000 gpd is non-
contact cooling water, 1,000 gpd is boiler feed, 12,000 gpd is sanitary waste, and
82,000 gpd is process waste. The discharge to Rio Cibuco at Outfall 001 consists of
treated sanitary waste and 28,000 gpd of treated process waste for a total of 40,000
9pdi the remaining 54,000 gpd of process waste is spray irrigated. The wastewater
treatment plant is considered to be temporary and the facility must connect to the
POTW when it is completed. The basis for limitations is a BPJ extension of the
existing Water Quality Certificate for all pollutants except chloroform, methylene
chloride, zinc, phenol, TSS and COD. The water quality requirements are judged to be
equal to or more stringent than OCT/BAT. The requirements for chloroform, methylene
chloride, zinc, phenol, TSS and COD are determined based on BPJ to be attainable
through application of OCT/BAT. Duplicate and spiked samples must be run on 5 percent
of the samples or on at least one sample per month for monitoring quality assurance
purposes, and the permittee or his contract lab must analyze annually reference
samples provided by the EPA Region 2 lab. The permit contains no schedule of
compliance, but has a standard reopener clause for toxic pollutants.

RI0000043: Bradford Dyeing Associates, Inc., of Bradford, RI, is in the Textile Mills
Category (40 CFR 410). The facility is engaged in the commission preparation, dyeing,
printing, and finishing of woven and knitted natural and manmade fiber fabrics (SIC
2261 and 2396). The production of 65,000 Ibs/day of cloth results in an average total
discharge to Outfall 001 of 1.6 mgd. Treatment of process wastes includes
equalization followed by activated sludge treatment in an aerobic lagoon with aerobic
digestion of sludge, and treatment in a final polishing lagoon prior to discharge to a
water quality limited segment of the pawcatuck River. The basis for the limitations
is the effluent guidelines (BAT for COD, Sulfide, Phenols, and Total Chromium) and
State water quality requirements for the ranaining pollutants. production at the
facility is expected to increase to 100,000 Ibs/day in the ensuing years and the
effluent limitations are based on that production. The facility must notify the State
and EPA 120 days before the production rate exceeds 100,000 Ibs/day for modification
of the permit. The discharge of the aeration lagoon will be monitored without
limitations to provide a point of accountability during flooding or inclement weather
when the polishing lagoon is inaccessible for monitoring. The permit is issued for a
duration of 3 years in order to review the effects of the proposed increased
production and the data obtained at the aeration lagoon.

RI0021164: Philip A. Hunt Chemical Corporation of East Providence, Rhode Island, is
in the Organic Chemicals Category (40 CFR 414) and is involved in the treatment and
recycle of etchant materials (SIC 2869). The facility also plans to manufacture
starter material and virgin etchant which will place them in the Metal Finishing
Category (40 CFR 433). Outfall 001 is the total plant discharge of 0.012 mgd treated
process water to the Seekonk River. Treatment consists of contact with ferrous
sulfate to precipitate copper, collection and removal of the precipitate in a settling
tank, and neutralization with hydrochloric acid before discharge. Sanitary waste is
routed to a POTW. The mass and concentration limitations at Outfall 001 are BPJ in
the absence of promulgated effluent guidelines for Organic Chemicals. Wi th the
addition of starter material and etchant manufacturing, the existing permit
limitations will remain in effect to prevent backsliding. Monitoring for TTO is based
on the proposed Metal Finishing effluent guidelines as a result of the presence of
organic compounds and metals in the wastestream. Only maximum daily sil ver
limitations are required as a result of a study prepared by Hunt Chemical on the
feasibility of silver reduction in its effluent. Hunt Chemical also must comply with
several BMPs to meet the requirements of the Rhode Island Coastal Resources Management
Council consistency concurrence (9/21/82). They include: (1) maintenance of two
effluent holding tanks, where the effluent is tested to assure compliance with
established standards before discharge during high tide cycle, (2) dilution of
effluent to maintain pH range, (3) diked storage areas for containment of spills, (4)
analysis of incoming spent etchant to determine presence of any untreatable
contaminants, (5) lining of underground holding tanks, and (6) maintenance of a
booklet on Standard Operating Procedures.

SC0000990: plusa, Inc. (Santee River Wool Combing Division and Concorde Fibers
Division) in Jamestown, SC (N.E. of Charleston) is in the Wool scouring Subcategory of
the Textile Mills Category (40 CFR 410.10, Subpart A) and the polypropylene Fiber
Subcategory of the plastics and Synthetics Category (40 CFR 416.160, Subpart p). Wool
production, consisting of grading, sorting, scouring, carding, combing, grilling, and
winding into bobbins, was 200,000 Ib/d in 1982 (SIC 2283, wool mills). Extruded
polypropylene monofilament production, consisting of mel ting, extruding, and
texturizing, was 25,000 Ib/d (SIC 2285, thread mi Us). Outfall 001 (0.1 mgd) is
treated process wastewater from wool processing, which is discharged to the Santee
River. Cooling water (.032 mgd) from the extrusion of polypropylene monofilament is
discharged to a storm drain and is not regulated in the current permit. Treatment of
the wool scouring wastewater consists of grease centrifuge, grit removal, primary
settling, 3-step anaerobic lagoon, extended aeration activated sludge, final settling
and chlorination. Sludge stabilization is anaerobic digestion, with disposal by
landfilling. Sanitary wastes (18,000 gpd) are treated in a 2-cell oxidation pond,
which discharges infrequently. Since the 1978 permit application, which serves as the
basis for this permit, the plant has increased its wool production from 120,000 Ib/d
to 200,000 Ib/d, but uses less water due to improved counterflow and reduced utility
and boi ler water requirements of new heat recovery systems. The basis for current BPT
limitations are the effluent guidelines for wool scouring using production of 120,000
Ib/d. The BPT production factors used for this permit are the same as the final BAT
production factors; final BCT production factors are not proom1gated. The reported
mass and concentration values in the 1982 2C application for BOD, COD and TSS are
substantially below the current limitations despite the increase in production.
Chromium is not regulated in the current permit, although it is included in the final
guidelines for this subcategory, and is reported in the 2C application at 17 ug/l.
Biomonitoring is not required due to a high dilution ratio in the receiving stream.
The reported 96-hr [c50 in the 2C app1 ication is 26.5%. NO BMP plan is required.

SCOOOl163: The Greenwood Mills Liner Plant, located in Orangeburg, South Carolina, is
in the Textile Mills Category (40 CFR 410) and finishes natural and synthetic textiles
(SIC 2261 and 2262). Production in the Woven Fabric Finishing Subcategory is reported
to be 233,000 lbs/day of finished fabrics. The facility discharges through two
outfalls to the North Fork Fdisto Ri ver as follows: Outfall 001 consists of treated
process water from the desizing, bleaching, mercerizing, dyeing and finishing
operations and sanitary waste; and Outfall 002 consists of well water filter backwash.
Treatment consists of screening, aeration in lagoons, and clarification. Sludge from
the waste treatllent system is disposed of via land application. Counterflow and
recycle principles are employed to conserve chemical consumption and reduce discharge
temperatures. Effluent limitations at Outfall 001 are based on BPT effluent
guidelines. The maximlII\ 'rss concentration limit is imposed to ensure recognition of
short-term slug discharges and more stringent phenol limits are regulated because the
receiving water is used as a potable water source downstream. The fecal coliform
limit is based on water quality requirements. The reporting requirements and pH
limitation at Outfall 002 also seem to be based on water quality standards. The
facility is required to develop and implement a biological study plan on the aquatic
cannunities in the receiving stream and a BMP plan to control the discharge of oils
and hazardous substances. ---

Outfall OOlE - noncontact cooling water and deionized water plant effluent (41 mgd);
Outfall OOlC - noncontact cooling water (0.5 mgd); Outfall 0018 - sanitary wastewater
(design - 0.15 mgd, actual - 0.04 mgd); Outfall OOlF - process wastewater; and Outfall
OOlG - ash pond effluent and powerhouse drainage (effluent limits based on a flow of
507,000 gpd due to stormwater runoff). Sanitary wastes are treated in a package plant
consisting of activated sludge, chlorine disinfection, and sludge disposal through an
aerobic digester and a 31.4 acre spray irrigation field. Process wastewater is
treated in a 2.0 mgd capacity activated sludge treatment plant, with sludge disposal
through an aerobic digester and ~ irrigation. The effluent fran Outfall OOlG
receives settling in a basin with a 25-day retention time. All other outfalls are
mixed before discharge. The basis of the permit is a BPJ determination that the
limitations are equivalent to BeT and BAT. Process wastewater limits are based on
guidelines found in 40 CFR 416.92 and 40 CPR 414.32, dated 4/5/74 and 4/15/74,
respectively. The effluent limitations on the sanitary discharge at Outfall OOlB are
standard secondary limits. A BMP plan is required to be implemented within six months

SC000l848: The Westinghouse Electric Corp, Nuclear Fuel Division, of Columbia, SC,
produces nuclear fuel assemblies (8 per day), control rods and components, and uranium
hexafluoride gas (10,700 lb/d) for conversion to uranium oxide (SIC 2819). There is
no effluent guidelines category for this facility. Wastewater is discharged at out-
fall 001 to a water quality llinited reach of the Congaree River and consists of sani-
tary waste (50,000 gpd) and process waste from the conversion of uranium hexafluoride
to uranium oxide, plus cooling water (50,000 gpd). Treatment for process wastes
includes lline and settle technology, ammonia stripping and recovery; neutralization
and ion exchange for nickel electroplating waste treatment; and for sanitary wastes,
extended aeration activated sludge, stabilization pond for polishing, and
disinfection. The basis for concentration derived mass limitations in the absence of
guidelines is a BPJ determination that the existing treatment equals BAT. Llinits for
BOD-5 and ammonia are based on a wasteload allocation model; TSS, fluoride, and nickel
limits are extended from the previous permit except that daily average limits for
nickel are taken from the 2C NPDES application form; oil and grease mass limits were
dropPed from the previous permit. Uranium was reported at 1 mg/l in the wastewater
effluent but is not regulated as a heavy metal. NRC operating license No. SNM-1107 is
issued to the plant. There is no schedule of compliance, and a flowthrough bioassay
test has been conducted to determine acute toxicity.

SC0002l5l: The J. P. stevens & Co., Inc., Del ta Finishing plants No.2 and 3 in
Wallace, S.C. (N.E. Central portion of state) are in the Textile Mills Category (40 CPR
410) and finish cotton (SIC 226) and synthetic and blend (SIC 2262) textiles. Textile
greige fabric that is woven or knitted from natural and synthetic fibers is desized,
boiled, bleached, mercerized, dyed, and finished for sale to apparel and industrial
fabricators. production in the Woven Fabric Finishing Subcategory (410.40, Subpart 0
- Complex) is 76,000 lb/d natural fiber, 82,389 lb/d synthetic fiber, and 262,054 lb/d
blend, for a total woven production of 420,443 lb/d. production in the Knit Fabric
Finishing Subcategory (410.50, Subpart E - Complex) is 28,740 Ib/d of synthetics.
Outfall 001 is a total discharge of 8.5 mgd to the Great Pee Dee River, consisting of
7.272 mgd process wastewater, 24,000 gpd of sanitary waste from 1150 persons, and 1.2
mgd of cooling water and other flows. In plant pollution control consists of caustic
recovery, heat recovery, counter-current reuse of cooling and process water, and
chemical finish mix recovery. Wastewater treatment consists of screening,
equalization, activated sludge, clarification, filtration, and sludge treatment by
thickening, aerobic digestion, and disposal by land application. The basis for
current limitations is the previous 5-year permit, in which the company requested and
was granted a l0-year new facility protection period under Sec. 306 (d) of CWA as a
result of constructing a new treatment plant to comply with the previous permit.
production used in the current permit is as presented above; production factors used
to set current limits are identical to the final BPT/BAT guidelines for both
subcategories, effective 10-18-82. The permit does not contain a compliance schedule,
and a BMP plan is not required. Biomonitoring is not required because the dilution
ratio in the river exceeds 100:1 and toxicity studies at other finishing plants in the
state have shown 96-hr LC50 values ranging from 83% to greater than 100%.

SC0003255: Spring Mills, Inc., Grace Finishing plant in Lancaster, S.C. (central area
near NC/SC border), is in the Textile Mills Category (40 CPR 410). Production in the
Woven Fabric Finishing Subcategory (410.40, Subpart D) is 729,000 lb/d and consists of
desizing, scouring, bleaching, mercerizing, dyeing, printing, sewing of sheets and
pillowcases, and warehousing. Production in the Low Water Use processin~ Subcategory
(410.30, Subpart C) is 85,000 lb/d in a Greige Mill and consists of opemng,
preparation, slashing, weaving, and cloth inspection. Process wastewater and sanitary
wastes from over 4,600 persons is discharged at Outfall 001 (10.245 mgd) to the
Catawba River following treatment consisting of equalization, extended aeration
activated sludge, clarification, and polishing pond. Outfall 002 is fly ash and
water treatment plant wastewater (0.84 mgd) that is settled in a holding pond.
Outfall 003 is an internal outfall from the sludge drying beds which flows into
Outfall 001. The basis for BPT mass limitations at Outfall 001 is the proposed
effluent guidelines using production and discharge factors from the two subcategories
listed above. Concentration limits at Outfall 002 for TSS (43/105 mg/l) are derived
as the average of the following concentrations for each waste stream: Fly ash
wastewater--30/l00 mg/l; water treatment plant wastewater--55/110 mg/l. The permit
was modified on 12-1-79 for Outfall 003 to add mass limits based on a 2-inch rainfall
on the sand fil ter bed (0.83 mgd) and (1) BOD and TSS concentrations of 30/45 mg/l;
(2) ten-fold higher COD concentrations of 300/450 mg/l; (3) metals concentrations of
0.2/0.5 mg/l; (4) phenols concentrations of 0.5/0.75 mg/l; and (5) sulfide
concentrations of 1.0/1.5 mg/l. The permittee must meet the mass 1 imi ts both at 003
and at 001 after the addition of the wasteload from 003, and must comply with maximum
concentration limits at 003 for BOD, COD, and four metals. The permit has no

414) and manufactures organic dyes, intermediates, organic chemicals, flavors, and
fragrances. The combined annual production rate for 1983 was reported to be 70
million pounds. The plant discharges through three regulated outfalls: OUtfall 001
consists of process water and sanitary wastewater (4.2 mgd), Outfall 002 is noncontact
cooling water (0.06 ITBd) used seasonally, and OUtfall 003 is the intermittent
discharge of filter backwash (0.065 mgd). Outfalls 001 and 002 discharge to Cooper
River and Outfall 003 discharges to the Back River. Treatment consists of
mixing/equalization, neutralization, actf'Vated--sI"Udge, sedimentation, stabilization
~ (detention time is 2.1 days), and sludge lagoon before discharge. In addition to
these three outfalls, Mobay has seven unregulated storrnwater outfalls. The mass and
concentration effluent limitations for the regulated outfalls are BPJ and are based on
an average flow of 5.4 ITBd. BOD is based on 85% removal by the treatment system and
ODD reflects 45% removal efficiency. TSS, chromium, copper, and zinc are based on the
previous permit limits with a reduction of flow from 6.5 mgd to 5.4 rngd. Ammonia and

SC1J1J38121: The Union C~ Corporation pulp and paper mill in Eastover, South Carolina, (located in central part of the state
25 miles east of Columbla) is a new source in the Bleached Kraft Subcategory (SIC 2611 & 2621) of the pulp, pa~r and
Paperboard Category (41J CFR 431J). The facility will be developed in three phases with the following productlOn and
wastewater flows: phase I, 675 tpd in 1984 (12 mgd); Phase II, 1425 tpd in 1988 (24 mgd); and phase III, 22~ tpd in 1992
(36 mgd). Products will include envelope papers, tablet paper, computer paper and office copy paper. By-products will be
turpentine and toilet soap (SIC 2861). Following chemical recovery and recycle, process wastewater for the whole plant will
be treated by clarification, aerated stabilization basins, settling ponds and a storage pond (31J1J acres total), and
discharged through two submerged diffusers at Outfall 1J1J1 to the Wateree River. Sanitary waste will be treated in a
package plant and discharged at internal Outfall 1J1J1A to the aerated stabilization basins. Storm water runoff will be routed
through the treatment system. Sludge will be sent to a public landfill, non-hazardous wastes will be landfilled on site, and
hazardous waste will be stored on-site for off-site disposal. The basis for mass limitations is the New Source Performance
Standards (41J CFR Part 431J); nutrient limits are on a net basis; and the discharge is controlled to protect water quality as
follows: (1) the volume of discharge to be <3% of river flow at all times during phase I, (2) release can only occur when
ri ver flow is >800 cfs and upstream dissol Ved oxygen is >5.1J mg/l,and (3) a series of ri ver flow/BOO-5 equations with
upstream dissol ved oxygen condi tions be~n 5.1J and 8.1J mg/l govern the mass discharge of BOD pending the development and
calibration of a water quality model by Union Camp. Discharges are allowed at river flows <800 cfs, but river monitoring
must verify that the dissolved oxygen standard of 5.1J mg/l is not violated. The company is required to conduct a biological
assessment before and after start-up, to conduct bioassay monitoring and fish tainting testing on the effluent after start-
up, and to conduct striped bass egg larval studies using the plant effluent prior to CO!IItIencement of discharge. State
certification and further biological assessment is required at Phases II and III. There are no limits for toxic pollutants,
but a 31J7 (a) reopener clause is included.

TN000146S: E. h DuPont De Nemours and Company, Inc., of New Johnsonville, Tennessee,
is in the Inorganic Chemicals Category (40 CFR 415, Subpart V) and manufactures
1,267,000 lbs/day of titanium dioxide pigments from ilmenite ores using the chloride
process (SIC 2816). Outfall 001 consists of the total discharge to the Tennessee
Ri ver of 10.78 rrgd process wastewater, 37.98 rrgd cooling water, 0.40 rrgd storm water
runoff, and 0.08 mgd sanitary wastewater. The sanitary waste is monitored after
treatment which consists of activated sludge, clarification, and chlorination and is
designated Outfall 002. The major portion of acidic process waste is segregated and
disposed of via subsurface injection. The remainder of the process wastewater is
treated by flocculation, mixing, settling, chemical precipitation, and neutralization.
A representative sample of the total discharge is obtained by continuous proportional-
to-flow sampling of three streams and combining them in an in-line static mixer. The
limitations at Outfall 001 are based on effluent guidelines and are regulated on a net
basis. TSS and pH are based on the current permit, which is more stringent than OCT
for TSS. Chromium and nickel are based on BAT guidelines. The effluent limitations
and monitoring requirernents at Outfall 002 are based on the current permit which
reflect standard secondary limits.

Pulp, Paper, and Paperboard Category (40 CFR 430) and is engaged in the manufacture of
fine printing and writing papers (SIC 2621 and 2611) using the soda ~ process.
They have a monthly average production of 334 tpd integrated bleached soda-fine papers
(Subpart !1. and 382 tpd non-integrated fine paper (Subpart R). The facility has two
outfalls that discharge to the South Fork Holston River as follows: Outfall 001
consists of process wastewater (10.5 mgd) after treatment by screening, coagulation,
flocculation, sedimentation, aeration lagoon, and sludge centrifugation; and Outfall
005 consists of untreated non-contact cooling water (5.1 mgd). The basis for the
summer BOD, Ammonia, Phosphorus and TDS limitations at Outfall 001 is the previous
permit, which is more stringent than BPT, proposed 1981 BCT, or water quality
standards. The winter BOD remains as is because the long term BOD average daily
discharge does not exceed the proposed BCT limit. The limitation for TSS is a BPJ =
BCT determination by applying unique factors as set forth in Section 304(b)(4)~
The Kingsport Mill is the only direct discharging soda mill in the country, and
factors relating to their soda pulping process, existing pollution control measures,
and land availability problems support the conclusion that their current effluent
performance represents BCT. The limits for chloroform, pentachlorophenol, and
trichlorophenol are based on proposed BAT guidelines. The limitations at Outfall 005
are standard cooling water limits. -

Tennessee Shaft Sewage Treatment plant (design 15,000 gpd) discharged to North Potato Creek. Outfalls 004-007 are
discharges to North Potato Creek from sedimentation control structures designed to treat runoff frcrn waste spoil areas. The
overall permit is based on BPJ and water ~ standards because there are not prcrnulgated guidel ines for all wastestrearns
and because of the large contribution of wastewater from non-point sources; however, BPT and BAT limitations were in
effect for several of the processes discharging wastewater. Outfall 001 effluent limits are based on a mass Dalance with the
Ocoee River using the 3Q20 flCM (122.4 cfs) for the receiving stream and a flow of 127 cfs for the wastestream, with these
exceptions: 1) Cadmium, Settleable Solids, Suspended Solids and pH - Tennessee Effluent Standards; 2) TDS present
achievable limits; and 3) Fluoride - previous permit limits. The effluent limits at OlA are based on the mass balance with
the Ocoee River (recei ving stream l2:l.4 cfs, wastestrearn - 6.8 cfs) except for settleable and suspended solids which are
Tennessee Effluent Standards. The pH is limited between 6.0 11.0 due to the receiving stream's ability to buffer the
discharge below a pH of 8.5. At Outfall 002, Cadmium and Settleable Solids limits are Tennessee Effluent Standards, TSS and
Phenols limits are set at the technologically achievable limit, BOD is set to protect dissolved oxygen in North Potato Creek,
and the remaining parmneters are from a mass balance with North Potato Creek. Domestic wastewater limitations are technology
based. Tennessee Chemical must also operate four additional monitoring stations: 1) on the Ocoee River upstream frcrn all
discharges; 2) on the Ocoee River at the No.3 pH station, downstream of all discharges; 3) on North Potato Creek, upstream
of all discharges; and 4) on North Potato Creek, downstream of all discharges but before the confluence with the Ocoee River.
Biornonitoring and a BMP plan are not required.

area) is in the organic Chemicals Category (40 CFR 414) and produces ethylene,
propylene, butadiene, methanol, and other organic chemicals (SIC 2869). Production
capacity was increased and a methanol plant was added in the late 1970's. All process
wastewater receives oil-water separation, equalization, neutralization, biological
treatment by trickling filter and activated sludge, and clarification and is
discharged to a water quali~ limiting section of the San Jacinto River through
Outfall 001 (6.5 mgd after 7 1/84). Cooling water blowdown receives ion exchange
treatment to a chromium level of 0.5 mg/l (BAT) and also is discharged from Outfall
001 along with uti 1 i ty and danestic wastewater and storm water. The BPJ basis for
mass limitations is BCT = 95% removal of the raw BOD waste load; ammonia is limited as
equivalent to danestic waste at 8 mg/l, and 0 & G is equivalent to a daily average of
15 mg/l. A peaking factor of 2.0 generally has been used to establish daily maximum
limits. Benzene and toluene were reported in the application form and both are
regulated at 3.0 mg/l, with monitoring every six months. The permit contains a

TX0006297: AReO Chemical Conpany, a oi vision of Atlantic Richfield Company, located
in Port Arthur, Texas, operates a plant manufacturing polyethylene (SIC 2821) and
ethylene dichloride (SIC 2869). The facility is in the Organic Chemicals and Plastics
and Synthetics Category (40 CFR 414), with a discharge of 2.75 mgd of process water,
boiler blowdown, coohng tower blowdown, cooling water, contaminated storflMater and
domestic sewage through Outfall 001 to the Intercoastal Waterway. Polyethylene
manufacturing wastewater receives settling, skimming, and neutralization prior to
combining with the effluent from the oxidation ponds used to treat septic wastes. The
mixture receives equalization with the overflow pumped to an activated sludge
treatment plant and then discharged. Ethylene dichloride production wastewaters are
sent to an aerated cooling ~ where S02 is added, then neutralized and discharged. A
total flow of 2.83 mgd is discharged. Effluent limi tat ions are based on BPJ and
remanded guidelines for Organic Chemicals (40 CFR 414) and Plastics and Synthetics (40
CFR 416) using a production of 1,200,000 Ib/day of polyethylene (HDPE) , and Texas DWR

TX0'0'0'7862: Independent Refining Corporation, of winnie, Texas (Beaumont-port Arthur
area on the Gulf coast at the TX/LA border), is in the Petroleum Refining Category (40'
CFR 419) and has an initial refining capacity of 16,0'0'0' bbl/d of crude oil, which is
being expanded to 50',0'0'0 bb1/d(SIC 2911). Through 28 February 1981, the refinery
discharged treated process wastewater and all rainfall runoff through Outfall 0'0'1
(flow unknown) to Mayhaw Bayou via South Mayhaw Bayou. Beginning 1 March 1981, the
process water and nonprocess area rainfall runoff were to be segregated into two
outfalls: 0'0'l--treated process wastewater (0'.76 mgd avg/l.90' mgd max); and 0'0'2--
nonprocess area rainfall runoff (flow variable and unknown). The wastewater treatment
systen is not described in the pennit or fact sheet/rationale. Effluent limitations
for this facility are a direct, bY-G~e-book application of the categorical effluent
guidelines, and proposed guidelines for the Cracking Subcategory (40' CFR 419, Subpart
B). Interim mass limits for the pre-expansion, combined discharge (Outfall 0'0(1) are
based on BPT guidelines and cover Boo-5, TSS, COD, O&G, phenol, ammonia nitrogen,
sulfide, total chromium, and hexavalent chromium. For the period following expansion
(after 28 February 1981) but prior to the BAT implementation deadline (1 July 1984),
mass limitations for modified Outfall 0'0'1 (treated process wastewater) are set as a
sum of BPT limitations for the original refining capacity (16,0'0'0' bbl/d), New Source
Performance Standards (NSPS) limitations for the expanded capacity (50',0'0'0' - 16,0'0'0' =
34,0'0'0' bb1/d), and a guidelines-based process area rainfall allocation. After 30' June
1984, limitations for the original refinery portion are based on proposed BCT
guidelines (40' CFR 419.72, proposed 12/31/79) rather than BPT. Concentratl<)r) limits
on O&G and COD in Outfall 00'2 are based on BPT/NSPS guidelines. The permit includes
reopener clauses for toxics and for guidelines or standards promulgation. A BMP plan
is not required.

TX0008907: The DuPont plant in Ingleside, Texas, (north of Corpus Christi) is in the
Organic Chemicals Category (40 CFR 414), with total production of 2,480,000 lb/day,
including fluorocarbons (freon), caustic, chlorine, cyclohexane (beginning in 1982)
and chlorinated hydrocarbons (beginning in 1984 (SIC 2869). Outfall 001 is process
wastewater (6.0 mgd), which receives lagoon treatment and OUtfall 002 is storm water
from nonprocess areas. The basis for permit limitations at Outfall 001 is (1) TSS:
Effluent Guidlelines (FR July 24, 1980, 415.62 (b) Subpart F, p 49477) using a ---
production factor of 0.51 (avg.) and 1.1 (max.) lb TSS/l,000 lb production; (2)
continuation of existing limits for total chlorinated hydrocarbons:16.8 kg/d (0.75
mg/l) and a peaking factor of 3 for maximum limits of 50 kg/d based on BPJ and
water quality criteria; (3) BPJ for Benzene limits of 2.3 and 4.5 kg/d based on the
proposed process description; and (4) TOC limits of 245 and 386 kg/d are based on
current discharge levels. 0 & G and TOe concentration limits for OUtfall 002 are
based on BPJ; no BMP's are required. Wastewater from fluorocarbon (freon) production
is disposed of by underground injection. Temperature and pH limits are set within
normal ranges. The plant discharges to La Quinta Channel, then to Corpus Christi Bay.

TX0009105: The Cominco American, Camex Division, plant at Borger, Texas (in the Texas
panhandle, north of Amarillo) is in the Fertilizer Manufacturing Category (40 CFR 418)
and produces nitrogenous fertilizers (SIC 2873). The facIlIty has a nomInal daily
production capacity of 2,200,000 lb/d of anhydrous ammonia. The company obtains 2 mgd
from the city water system and 1 rrgd from wells. with the existing wastewater system,
all process wastewater, cooling tower and boiler blo~own, other low volume wastes and
stormwater from the plant are routed to a holding pond before being pumPed to a 120 acre
spray irrigation/land application system, which is diked to prevent discharges. An
emergency pond is available to catch and recycle overflow from the holding pond.
Wastewater from the holding pond also can be disposed of by deepwe11 injection.
Sanitary wastes are routed to a septic tank/drainfield system. The existing permit
(effective date 1/27/80) is for intermittent, flow variable discharges from the
irrigation system at Outfall 001 to a water quality limited segment of Rock Creek.
This permit required the company to install an ammonia treatment system (e.g. steam
stripping), to reduce water consumption, and to eliminate the irrigation system by
July 1, 1982. Hovever, the company has proposed to divert cooling tower and boiler
blo~own, demineralizer backwash, and some stormwater from the existing system for
discharge from new Outfall 002 (0.55 mgd). In the existing permit, interim
concentration limits were set for COD and NH3 from outfall 001 on the basis of EPA
Region VI stormwater guidelines and BPJ. Final limits for this outfall have the same
basis, but lImitation for O&G, Cr and Zn are added. The new draft permit is identical
to the existing permit, except that Outfall 002 has been added and more stringent
limits for Cr and Zn have been proposed. The BPJ basis for these changes is (1) a new
permit application for daily max. for NH3-N (2) the existing permit for daily average
NH3-N, (3) EPA fertilizer effluent guidelines (40 CFR 418, Subpart B, 4/8/74 & 6/
3/75), (4) the previous rationale, and (5) Texas DWR rules and water quality
standards. The permit contains a reopener clause, but a BMP plan is not required.

TX0009l48: Phillips Petroleum Company, located in Borger, Texas (approximately 50
miles north of Amarillo), is engaged in petroleum refining, natural gas liquids
processing, and specialty chemical manufacturing and their associated housing (SIC
2911 and 2869). The facility is in the Petroleum Refining Category (40 CFR 419) and
has four outfalls as follows: Outfall 001 discharges directly to an unnarned tributary
of Dixon Creek, and consists of process water and sanitary waste. Outfalls 002 and
003 discharge into Patton Creek, and Outfall 004 discharges to the Canadian River.
These outfalls consist of untreated segregated nonprocess area runoff. Segregated
process streams are treated individually before treatment at the Dixon Creek Treater
where they receive clarification for removal of oil and solids, equalization, chemical
coagulation, activated sludge, and polishing ~ treatment before discharge to
Outfall 001. The permit limitations at Outfall 001 are based on the previous permit
and are more stringent than the effluent guidelines. The basis for the limitations at
Outfalls 002, 003, and 004 are state permit requirements and traditional technology
for segregated nonprocess area runoff. Biomonitoring at Outfall 001, consisting of
the static 24 hr test to determine 80% survival, is required once per quarter for a
duration of two years. Outfall 005, which consists of stormwater, has been
transferred to Phillips Chemical Co. (TX0009073). However, monitoring of that
discharge under the same limitations as Outfalls 002-004 is required until that
facility has an issued NPDES permit.

TX0052825: pennwalt Corporation, located in Beaumont, Texas, is in the Organic
Chemicals Manufacturing Category (40 CFR 414) and manufactures methyl and ethyl
mercaptans and dimethyl and diethyl sulfides (SIC 2869) using ethylene, hydrogen
sulfide, methanol, and carbon disulfide as raw materials. Outfall 001 consists of
0.0189 mgd of sanitary wastewater, chemical manufacturing wastewater, and process area
washdown. The reaction wastewater goes to a filter, a sour water stripper, and then
an equalization tank where it mixes with other wastewaters before treatment in an
aeration tank (where sanitary wastes are added), a clarifier, a chlorinator, a carbon
adsorber, a second chlorinator, and then is discharged to the Neches River Basin. No
reaction wastewater is produced from ethyl mercaptan production. Outfall 002 consists
of uncontaminated stormwater runoff, which is not treated. The basis for the
limitations is BPJ in the absence of promulgated effluent guidelines, except for the
zinc limits which are based on the Texas Hazardous Metals Board Order level. Past
effluent data indicate that the plant could meet lower permit limits. However,
because the plant has not yet reached 100% production capacity and waste treatment
performance at high production rates is not known, permit 1 imi ts will remain the same
until July 1, 1984. Plant data also indicate that they will be in compliance with the
lower limits effective July 1, 1984 for BOD and COD. Biomonitoring at Outfall 001 is
required for the control of toxics. The static 24 hour test will be perforlTIed once
per quarter for a duration of two years to determine 80% survival.

TX0056529: Rohm and Haas Texas, Inc. in Deer Park, Texas, (N.E. of Houston) is in the
Organic Chemicals Category (40 CFR 4l4)and produces acrylic acid, acrylic esters and
monomers, and acetIc acid (SIC 2824, 2869). All plant wastewater is discharged from
Outfall 001 (1.684 mgd) to the Houston Ship Canal, under an existing wasteload
allocation. Process wastewater from the "chemical selNer," the stripper, and the
cooling tower blowdown receive biological treatment consisting of equalization,
activated sludge, clarification, tri-media filtration, and final aeration. Sanitary
wastes receive septic tank treatment and chlorination prior to joining the process
waste stream for further biological treatment; storm water and cooling water receives
aeration before discharge at Outfall 001. Sludge treatment is by aerobic digestion,
thickening, pressure filtration, and on-site landfill. The plant was designed for and
achieves 95% wasteload removal. The basis for limitations is a 50% plant expansion in
1982, with previous limits being increased by 50% using BCT/BPJ for BOD concentrations
of 35 & 70 mg/l (40 CFR 122.62). Ammonia and total chromium concentration limits are
extended from the previous permit; arsenic is a trace contaminant, possibly from raw
industrial process water and is regulated and is monitored quarterly. All pollutants
are regulated by equivalent mass discharge limits, although the basis for limitation
is achievable treatment concentration levels. The permit contains a reopener clause.

6-cell lagoon; discharge is at Outfall 0'0'1 to the State Industrial Canal. OUtfall 0'0'2
is non-contact cooling water and has no parameter limitations. The interim
limitations are based on (1) a continuation of most of the mass limits in the previuos
permit; (2) the State of utah's secondary treatment requirements for BOD5' TSS, and
pH; (3) the concentrations limits for O&G that were in the previous permlt based on
EPA regional policy; and (4) COD limits based on 71% of BPCT. The final limitations
(effective 7/1/84) are based on BPJ, using 88% of BPCT equivalent to BAT, except for
COD, which is set at 71% of BPCT~Concentration limits for BODS' TSS, O&G, and pH are
the same as the interim limits. The permittee must submit by July 1, 1983, a
determination of whether the existing treatment syst6TI can meet the final limitations.
If the decision is no, a compliance schedule must be submitted at the same time.
Part C of the application showed no unusual priority pollutants at levels requiring

canpressed, rinsed, sized, steamed, tr, irrmed and prepared for final packaging.
Sources of process waste include dye tank wastes, rinse waters, steam condensate that
is not recycled, and spent resin wastes from sizing operations. All process waste is
treated by equalization, activated sludge and clarification prior to discharge at
Outfall 001 to the Columbia River through a 450' long submerged outfall. Sanitary
wastes are sent to the POTW, and wastewater sludge is disposed by land appl ication on-
site. The permit is a BPT extension and mass limits are based on the effluent
guidelines for the Wool Finishing Subcategory (40 CFR 410.22), using 16,500 lb/d fiber
as the production figure. The permit has no schedule of compliance, but includes a
reopener clause for toxic pollutants. The company uses some 68 dyes and 16 inorganic
and organic chemicals in its processes.

WA0'0'0'0'281: Kalama Chemicals, Inc. in Kalama, Washington, (S.W. corner of state)) is
in the Organic Chemicals Category (40' CFR 414) and produces mostly phenolic compounds
and wood preservatives (SIC 2865 & 2869). production is as follows: Benzoic Acid
(350',0'0'0' lb/d), phenol (160',0'00' lb/d), Benzaldehyde (22,0'0'0' lb/d), and Nonyl phenol
(60,0'00' lb/d). Many production operations are closed-loop systems with zero
discharge. Other waste streams go to an activated sludge treatment plant (40',0'00' gpd)
or are incinerated. Dilute acid must be incinerated or treated, and sanitary wastes
go to the POTW. Outfall 0'0'1 consists of 20' mgd of non-contact cooling water plus
storm drainage treated in the treatment plant and the treated process waste from the
treatment plant. The permit is a BPJ extension from the previous BPT permit. The
rationale for the previous permit is effluent guidelines (40' CFR Part 414) and state
water quality standards. The mixing zone for the temperature limitations is defined
vertically as one foot below the surface to one foot above the bottom, 30'0' feet
laterally from the end of the diffuser, longitudinally the length of the diffuser plus
10'0' feet or 15% of the width of the stream, whichever is less. The mixing zone shall
not encompass more than 15% of the volume of the stream at Q7-10'. Because of the
dilute nature of the discharge (BOD-5 = 1.2 mg/l)" monitoring for BOD can be done
through a correlation with the more sensitive COD test. The permit includes a re-
opener clause pending promulgation of the organic chemicals guidelines. The receiving
Hater is the Co 1 umbia Ri ver, mile 74.

WA0000299: The ALCOA plant in Vancouver, WA (S.W. corner of state on Columbia River
opposite portland, OR) produces aluminum by the Hall Process (SIC 3334) in center-
worked prebaked pots (115,000 tpy in 1980 2C application), extrudes and anodizes
aluminum products (SIC 3471) and manufactures bare and PVC and polyethylene covered
electrical wire (SIC 3335). The facility is in the primary Aluminum Smelting
Subcategory of the Nonferrous Metals Category (40 CFR 421.20 Subpart B). Process
wastes (4.5 mgd) from the following operations are discharged at Outfall 001:
anodizing process water (1.0 rngd), ingot contact cooling water (2.5 mgd), and non-
contact cooling water (1.0 mgd). The combined process waste streams are treated in
lagoons. Outfall 002 is sanitary effluent from some 1,600 employees (0.65 mgd)
receiving conventional secondary treatment and chlorination. Both discharges are to
the Columbia River. Prior to 1974 when the current permit was first issued, the
facility operated a "rain barrel" air pollution control scrubber which resulted in the
discharge of 17,000 lb/d of fluorides at 001. After the scrubbers were replaced in
1975 with dry-tyPe devices, the fluoride limits were reduced some 99% to the present
level. The basis for the current limits at 001 is water quality standards for
temperature, pH, and cyanide at the perimeter of the mixing zone, and staff judgment
for the remaining parameters (although a numerical basis for the limits was not
presented in fact sheet). OUtfall 002 is limited by secondary treatment standards.
The current limits at 001 are substantially more restrictive than 1975 BPT guidelines
for fluoride, but less restrictive than BPT for TSS, based on original 1974-75
production figures of 225 tpd. The permit also requires a 96-hr static bioassay test
on effluent from 001 for salmonoid survival, and contains a standard reopener clause.

WA0000647: ASARCO, Inc. of Tacoma, WA, (South of Seattle on Puget Sound) is in the
Primary Copper Smelting Subcategory (40 CFR 421.40 Subpart D) and the primary Copper
Refining Subcategory (40 CFR 421.50 Subpart E) of the Nonferrous Metals Category. The
plant has been a major stationary source of air pollution from heavy metals in the
Pacific Northwest. However, the combined process wastewater, condensate drain, and
non-contact cooling water discharge was reduced from 5.24 mgd to 0.733 mgd by the
installation of the following recycle systems in the mid-1970Is; S02 plant process
water, reverberator, and converter jacket water, acid water from aCId plant scrubbers,
fine cast cooling system, and anode mold cooling water. Sanitary wastes are
discharged to the PO'IW. The rEmaining discharge is 8.64 mgd of marine non-contact
cooling water. Three outfalls are identified, but the source and volume of their
flows was unclear in 1975: Outfall 001 (south) to heat dispersion pond and Outfall
002 (middle) & outfall 004 (north) to a submerged diffuser. The receiving water is
Commencement Bay. The permit was originally written as the recycle systEmS were being
completed and was intended as a zero-discharge permit. Thus, effluent guidelines were
considered not to apply. It has been administratively extended since 1980. The
permit contains minimal effluent limits, but extensive monitoring for heavy metals as
well as zero-discharge requirements from the slag granulation operation and
elimination of the rEmaining discharge of process wastes. The original schedule of
compliance called for an engineering study and plan (similar to a BMP plan) by 7/31/78
to minimize or eliminate the discharge of heavy metals in storm water. Additional
requirements included compliance with water quality standards for receiving water
tEmperature outside the mixing zone, receiving water temperature surveys, and a pH
warning system on the steam condensate discharge.

~00026l5: The Todd Pacific Shipyards Corporation operates 3 floating drydocks and 6
'piers at Harbor Island on Elliott Bay in Seattle, Washington. The facility is in the
Shipbuilding and Repair Category (40 CFR 470) (SIC 3731) and discharges regulated non-
contact cooling water (66,000 gpd) into Elliott Bay, but stormwater from yard areas is
pumPed unregulated into the Duwamish Ri ver-West Waterway. Boiler blovilown (2,000 gpj)
is discharged to the POTW. Process waters from pickling and cleaning of stainless
steel pipe are collected and disposed of by a contract hauler. All rinse tanks are
contained in bermed areas with no drains to prevent spilling of chemical solutions or
rinse tanks into Elliott Bay or to sanitary sewers. Steam cleaning wastewater also is
disposed of by the contract hauler. Sandblast residue, paint scraps and other debris
are removed from the drydocks prior to their submergence. Sanitary wastewater is
discharged to the PO'lW. Although the permit does not require a BMP plan, the cornpany
appears to practice many of the BMP's recommended in the draft effluent guidelines
development document for shipbuilding and repair (EPA 400/l-79/076-b, December 1979).
However, the disposal of stormwater entering the drydocks is not sPeCified. The basis
for permit regulations for the thermal discharge is state water quality standards and
BPJ. The boiler blovilown discharge to the POTW is regulated for heavy metals and
total oils by the Seattle METRO Pretreatment Regulations, which have been in effect
since 1970. The company has discontinued treating its drydocks with sodium arsenite
for marine borers, which resulted in the discharge of arsenic to Elliott Bay.

WA0005095: Chemical Processors, Inc. of Tacoma, WA, (S. of Seattle on Puget sound) is
a waste reclamation and treatment facility providing contract treatment and disposal
of waste acids, organic wastes, hazardous wastes, etc. (SIC 2869). There is no
guidelines category for this industry. Treatment capabilities consist of storage,
evaporation, acid-alkali brine neutralization; chrome reduction; cyanide oxidation,
phenol oxidation with peroxide, coagulation, settling, filtration, and sludge disposal
to a landfill or to a hazardous waste disposal site as needed. The batch discharge at
Outfall 001 averages 50,000 gpd and goes to the Tacana STP #1. Thus, the NPDES permit
is issued by the state for a pretreatment situation to protect the POTW and the waters
of the puyallup River. The basis for BPT limitations is 95% removal by mass for all
treated wastes received, with no dilution allowed to meet concentration limits. Both
concentration and mass limits are imposed, and the permittee must test each batch and
secure permission from the City for timed release. Storm water and contaminated site
runoff must be collected and treated under requirements of a BMF plan. The schedule
of compliance requires the BMP plan and SPCC plan, records maintenance system, and
solid waste management plan be develoPed by 8/1/78.

WA0029190: The J. J. Theodore Company, Inc., of Seattle, WA, operates a seafood
processing plant (SIC 2092) on San Juan Island, some 60 miles N.W. of Seattle on the
puget Sound. The plant processes canned salmon during a short processing period
(45,000 kg/d - 54,000 kg/d). Fresh salmon is hand butchered in season (maximum 54,000
kg/d). Dogfish (shark) is processed throughout the year (4,500 - 22,000 kg/week).
Wastewater (80,000 to 120,000 gpd) is passed through a coarse screen where larger
solids are augered to a solids hopper. The wastewater is pumped to a tangential
screen for additional removal of solids. The screened wastewater is discharged
through a submerged outfall in Griffin Bay. Screened solids are hauled to farms for
land disposal. The screening system has generally worked well. No water quality
violations have been documented in the vicinity of the outfall. Cooling water (20,000
to 35,000 gpd) also is discharged through the submerged outfall. The basis for
limitations, since the BeT regulations for the Canned & Preserved Seafood Category (40
CFR 408) were rescinded in February 1982, is the BPT regulations for the West Coast
Hand-Butchered Salmon Subcategory (408.180 Subpart R) and the West Coast Mechanized
Salmon processing Subcategory (408.190 Subpart S). In the absence of guidelines for
dogfish processing, BPJ was used to include dogfish processing with hand-butchered
salmon processing. -

WI0001848: Fort Howard Paper Company in Green Bay, Wisconsin, is in the Pulp, Paper,
and Paperboard Category (40 CFR 430) and operates a deink pulping mill producing
approximately 868.5 tpd of sanitary paper products (Subpart Q). A chlor-alkali
manufacturing facility is operated on site and produces 24.0 tpd chlorine to be used
in the papermaking process (Inorganic Chemicals Category, 40 CPR 415, Subpart F). The
facility discharges treated process waste (15.75 mgd) into the Fox River via Outfall
001. Deinking plant wastewaters receive clarification, activated sludge, aeration,
and final clarification. Wastewaters from the paper mill only receive clarification
for solids removal. Chlor-alkali wastewater is clarified before joining the raw paper
mill wastestream. Sampling point 801 was established for monitoring purposes at the
discharge from the chlor-alkali plant. Outfall 002 consists of untreated non-contact
cooling water and stormwater runoff (23.57 mgd), Outfall 003 consists of emergency
mill sewer bypass and stormwater runoff (0.04 mgd), and Outfall 004 is stormwater
runoff (0.04 mgd), all of which also discharge to the Fox River. Monitoring
requirements and effluent limitations at Outfalls 001, 002, and 003 and sampling point
801, are in accordance with the Wisconsin Administrative Codes. The monitoring
requirement for PCB and the reporting requirements for tanperature and ammonia are
BPJ. Outfall 004 is not regulated. If the facility wishes to use net limits for BOD

variability and extended negotiations with the permittee. The effective date of final chloroform limitations was advanced
from July 1, 1984 to January 1, 1984. Final maximum mass 1 imits for 6 other priority pollutants were increased from 4.6 kg/d
to 0.25 mg/l (equivalent to 107 kg/d at a flow of 113 mgd) due to difficulty in flow measurement and analytical variability.
A sulfide 'monitor only' limitation was deleted due to a change in State Certification. OUTFALL 007 (coal pile runoff) was
eliminated in the revised permit after the Evidentiary Hearing, as were OUtfalls 004 and 006 (cooling water). OUTFALL 008
(fly ash pond) limits were set at BPT level technology based on BPJ. OUTFALLS 013 & 019: filter backwash water, no
treatment, no li1nits. Tank farm drains and stormwater drains (totar-of 35 outfalls) are regulated by a BMP plan (see sheet 3
of 3). A semi-annual monitoring scan is required for toxic pollutants for ()Jtfalls 001-005. NO schedu1""E!of compliance is
required for conventional pollutants: however, interim limits through June 30, 1984 are :inq:osed for chloroform at OUtfall
001; a BAT facilities engineering report is required by June 1, 1982, with construction to be completed by March 1, 1981,

WV0000086: union Carbide Corporation, Institute, West virginia (Charleston area), is in the Organic Chemicals Category (40
CFR 414) and pesticides Category (40 CFR 455) and produces benzene, toluene, chloroform, other solvents (SIC 2869), and the
pesticides Sevin and Carbaryl (SIC 2879). The plant has a total of 42 outfalls discharging to the Kanawha River;
descriptions, treatment and permitting rationale for BPJ and technology based limits for each outfall or outfall group
follow: OUTFALL 001: plant process wastewater (5rngar;-treatment by equalization, neutralization, primary sedimentation,
activated sludge, final clarification, with sludge pumped offsite to a lagoon; BPJ was used to set average BeT limits lower
than the previous permit based on statistical analysis of treatment plant performance data, maximum daily limits set at 99%
confidence interval (3 standard deviations above mean) for BOD, TOe, and 95% confidence interval (2 standard deviations above
mean) for TSS; TKN & NH3-N limits remain unchanged. As a result of an Evidentiary Hearing stipulation on March 2, 1983, (1)
final limits for 1,2-dichlorobenzene, 1,3-dichlorobenzene, 1,4-dichlorobenzene, and di-n-octyl phthalate were deleted as the
source of the dichlorobenzene compounds was shut down, with monitoring showing the pollutants no longer present, and di-n-
octyl phthlate will be eliminated by July 1, 1984 by replacement of pump seal fluid containing this pollutant; (2) final
limitations for benzene, naphthalene, toluene, isophorone, and chloroform were increased from 0.96/2.9 kg/d to 4.5/~.5 kg/d
(based on concentration of 0.25 rng/l) based on an EPA contractor's study of chloroform removal, analytical variability in
analysis of these pollutants, and n~otiations with the permittee; and (3) final acrylonitrile limits were increased from
0.96/2.9 kg/d to 9.1/9.1 kg/d due to hlgher limits of detection. OUTFALLS 002-005: cooling water with process waste spills
and storrnwater; no treatment; limits for phenolics, TOe, TKN, NH3-N remalO at present levels, maximum limit for TOe
represents 95% confidence interval; a total mass limit for chloride for OUtfalls 001-005 was requested by Union Carbide;
isophorone at 003 is set at 0.25 rng/l (max) from 2.3 kg/d (max) after the Evidentiary Hearing due to the difficulty of
measuring the large flow (60 rngd). OUTFALL 005: Prior to the Evidentiary Hearing, chloroform was regulated at 0.91/2.7 kg/d
based on (1) 99% average removal if stearn stnpping technology were installed to give an effluent concentration at the
limits of detection of 1 ppb, (2) a 100% sampling error, (3) a flow of 113 rngd, and (4) a peaking factor of 3x for maximum
limits.. Following the hearing, chloroform limitations were increased to 4.5/4.5 kg/d in consideration of analytical
variability and extended negotiations with the permittee. The effective date of final chloroform limitations was advanced
from July 1, 1984 to January 1, 1984. Final maximl.I!1 mass limits for 6 other priority pollutants were increased from 4.6 kg/d
to 0.25 rng/l (equivalent to 107 kg/d at a flow of 113 rngd) due to difficulty in flow measurement and analytical variability.
A sulfide "monitor only" limitation was deleted due to a change in State Certification. OUTFALL 007 (coal pile runoff) IoaS
eliminated in the revised permit after the Evidentiary Hearing, as were OUtfalls 004 and 006 (cooling water). OUTFALL 008

WV0000l08: Kincaid Enterprises of Nitro, West virginia (Charleston Area) is in the
QE9anic Chemicals Category (40 CFR 414) and the Pesticides Category (40 CFR 455),
and produces methoxychlor and other organic chemicals (SIC 2869). Treated process
waste is discharged to the Kanawha River at Outfall 001; 45,000 gpd of process waste
is generated and treated, of which 90% is recycled, leaving 5,000 gpd for discharge.
The basis for BAT limitations is BPJ using a statistical evaluation of existing
treatment plant concentration performance for COD and ISS, where average monthly
limits are set at two standard deviations (95% confidence interval) above the mean;
and maximum daily limits are twice the average limits (peaking factor of 2x).
Equivalent mass limits for all parameters are based on a discharge flow of 5,000 gpd.
Average limits for BOD are set at 90% removal of the raw wasteload corresponding to
the 90% recycle; maximum limits are 2x the average limits. Water quality criteria
from the EPA Red Book are used to set maximum limits for methoxychlor and phenols
based on predicted concentrations in the Kanawha River using the total river flow
Q7-10 (1,967 cfs) for the mixing zone criteria. Bioassay monitoring is required
quarterly. Survival must be 80% or additional 96 hr. flow through bioassay testing
and GC/MS monitoring will be required. A BMP plan must be prepared and implemented in
one year, otherwise there is no implementation schedule as the facility currently is
in compl iance.

WV0000l32: Goodyear Tire and Rubber Co. in Point Pleasant, WV (Western border of
state on Ohio River), is in the Plastics and Synthetics Materials Category (40 CFR
416) and produces 821,000 lb/day of polyester resins (SIC 2821). Process wastewater
(.576 mgd) is treated by extended aeration activated sludge prior to discharge at
Outfall 001 to the Ohio River. The basis for BCT mass limitations is BPJ following a
statistical analysis of treatment plant performance (DMR's) during 1978-1980 and a
comparison of statistically derived values with equivalent BAT levels based on
production factors from the EPA Developnent Document (440/1-74-0l0-a). Seasonally
variable BOD limits are determined as follows: (1) average monthly winter limits are
set at two standard deviations above the winter mean (95% confidence interval) and
maximum limits are set at three standard deviations above the winter mean (99%
confidence interval); (2) sumner BOD values are the same as the BPT limits as they are
more stringent than production-based BAT limits and represent 95+% rEmoval of the raw
waste load. Average COD limits are two standard deviations above the monthly mean for
36 months, and maximum limits are three standard deviations. The average COD limit is
more stringent than the guidelines loading, but the maximum limit is less stringent,
reflecting the actual treatment plant performance. The average TSS limit
approximates the long-term average, and the maximum limit is five standard deviations
above the mean. Toxicity is controlled through 24-hr static bioassays to be conducted
quarterly in which 80% survival is the minimum required to avoid more extensive flow-
through 96 hr LC-50 biomonitoring and GC/MS testing. A 307(a) reopener clause is
included for future control of toxics. The permit includes no implEmentation
schedule, and no BCT cost test was performed as additional treatment facilities are
not required.

and produces PVC resin (SIC 2821). Treated process waste and storm water (0.223 rrgd
total) is discharged at Outfall 001 to the Ohio River. The basis for BAT limitations
is BPJ employing a statistical analysis of achievable concentration levels taken from
DMR's for 1978-80. Equivalent monthly average mass limits are set at 2 standard
deviations above the mean (95% confidence interval) and maximum daily limits are set
at 3 standard deviations above the mean (99% confidence interval). Although no toxic
pollutants are regulated, toxicity is controlled by quarterly bio-assay testing.
Static 24-hour bioassays since April 1980 show low or non-existent toxicity with 100%
survival in the plant effluent. If less than 80% survival is noted on future tests,
flow-through 96-hour LC50 must be determined and GC/MS testing done on the effluent.
A plan to reduce or eliminate toxic pollutants will then be conducted. A BMP plan
must be implemented wi thin one year of the effecti ve date of the permit. The permi t

WV0000841: Borg-Warner Chemicals, Incorporated, located in Washington, West Virginia,
manufactures 1,200,000 lbs/day of acrylonitrile butadiene styrene resin (SIC 2821).
The facility is in the Plastics and Synthetics Category (40 CFR 416) with a total
discharge of 2.37 mgd treated process wastewater to the Ohio River. Treatment
consists of neutralization, clarification, equalization~atTOn; final
clarification, and dual~edia, high pressure filtration. Sludge goes to a vacuum
filter before disposal in a landfill. An additional outfall (002) discharges
uncontaminated stormwater. The effluent lilnitations at Outfall 001 are based on BPJ
using information found in the Organic Chemicals and Plastics and Synthetics
Development Document. BOD (summer), TSS, and surfactant limitations represent BAT,
and BOD (winter), and temperature represent BPT. The control of ammonia is
accomplished by acrylonitrile (AN) monitoring, since ammonia is a product of
biodecomposition of acrylonitrile. Monitoring and controlling AN between 0-7.5 mg/l
ensures adequate protection of the receiving stream. The control authority must be
notified if the concentration exceeds 7.5 mg/l. A BMP Plan is also required.

WV000l65l: C.S.T. Inc. (Fike ChEffiicals) in Nitro, WV (Charleston area) is in the
organic Chemicals Category (40 CFR 414) (SIC 2869) and discharges 0.0475 mgd of
treated process wastewater to the Kanawha River. The basis for BeT llinitations is BPJ
using a statistical analysis of DMR data from 1979 and 1980. Generally, average
monthly mass limits are set at two standard deviations above the mean monthly values
(95% confidence interval) and maximum limits are set at two standard deviations above
the mean of maximum daily values. The exception is the maximum daily limit for COD
which is set at three standard deviations above the mean of maximum daily values (99%
confidence interval). To control toxicity of the effluent, a 96 hr static bioassay to
determine LC-50 is required monthly. If the LC-50 is less than 50%, a plan to reduce
toxicity is required within 30 days. If the testing reveals the 96-hr, DC-50 is equal
to or greater than 50% after 3 years, the biomonitoring requirEffient will be
eliminated. BMP plan is required wi thin one year which includes hazardous waste
managEffient disposal considerations. There is no implEffientation plan as the facility
currently is meeting the permit limits. No BeT cost test was performed since no
additional treatment facilities are required pending the results of the monthly
biomonitoring for toxicity. The permit contains a reopener clause.

WV0002399: The E. I. DuPont plant in Belle, west virginia (Charleston area) is in the Organic Chemicals Category (40 CFR
414) and produces agricultural fertilizers (SIC 2873) and other organic chemicals (SIC 2869). No production data are given.
The plant discharges to the Kanawha River through 45 outfalls, of which three are process wastes receiving biological
treatment: 062 (2.3 mgd), 017 and 046 (no flows given). The remaining regulated outfalls are 901 & 992 (storm water) and
003, 013, 021, 043, & 056 (cooling water). The other outfalls are unregulated and are listed on effluent limits sheet 2 of
2. The basis for BCT mass limitations for conventional and non-conventional pollutants is BPJ using a statistical analysis
of achievable treatment levels fran 1978 to 1989. Permit limitations fall within 2 to 3 standard deviations above the mean
both for average and maximum values (95 to 99% confidence intervals of canpliance), and no limitations exceed previous permit
levels for conventional and non-conventional pollutants. Chloride is regulated by state water quality certification, and
limits for 0utfalls 017 and 046 are on a net basis, requiring monitoring of intake water on the same day at the same
frequency. Seven priority pollutants werereported in the NPDES application at OUtfall 962, but only three are present in
significant quantities requiring regulation as follows: chloroform and methylene chloride--concentration of 9.95 mg/l
yielding an average monthly mass discharge of 1.0 Ib/day at a flow of 2.3 mgd; copper--concentration of 1.9 mg(l yielding a
mass discharge vf 19 Ib/d at a flow of 2.3 mgd. Maximum daily values for all three priority pollutants are based on a
peaking factor of 3X. Monitoring for all priority pollutants is required semi-annually for OUtfall 962 and annually for
OUtfalls 917 and 046. The schedule of compliance only refers to OUtfall 062 and requires an engineering report by June 1,
1982, and construction completed by March 1, 1984, in order to achieve compliance with the three priority pollutant limits by
July 1, 1984. A BMP plan is required within one year of the effective date. Bioassay testing using 24 hour canposite
samples is required to determine the 96 hour [£;50 for the fathead minnow on a semi-annual basis for OUtfalls 917 and 946 and

WV0002496: The Stauffer Chemical Co. of Gallipolis Ferry, West Virginia, (western
border of state on Ohio River) is in the Organic Chemicals Category (40 CFR 414) and
produces synthetic lubricants, plasticizers and other chemicals (SIC 2869). Treated
process wastewater (0.337 mgd) is discharged at Outfall 001 to the Ohio River. The
basis for BAT llinitations is BPJ employing a statistical analysis of DMR data for
winter BOD-51 lini ts (Dec-Mar)~nd for COD and phosphorus. Average month 1 y limi ts are
set at two standard deviations above the mean (95% confidence interval of compliance),
and maximum daily limits are set at three standard deviations above the mean (99%
confidence interval of compliance). Limits for TSS, phenols and summer BOD5 (Apr-Nov)
are based on water quality considerations and are extended from the previous BPT
permit. All limits are based on mass discharge. Although no toxic pollutants are
regulated, toxicity is controlled by quarterly 24-hr static bioassay testing. If less
than 80% survival is noted, the flow-through 96-hour [C50 must be determined and GC/MS
testing done on the effluent. The bioassay testing will be discontinued after 3 years
if subsequent tests are negative. A BMP plan must be linplsTIented within one year of
the effective date of the permit. The sanitary waste discharge is not regulated by
specific limits in the permit; however, a level of reduction equivalent to secondary
treatment must be achieved.

WV0004740: Weston Chemical Conpany, a subsidiary of Borg-Warner Chemicals,
manufactures organo-phosphite chemicals and hydrochloric acid (SIC 2869) at its
facility located in Morgantown, West Virginia. The facility is in the Organic
Chemicals Category (40 CFR 414), with an upspecified production rate. Process
wastewater consists of unsettled river water contaminated by phenolic and acidic
substances. Treatment consists of neutralization, three aerated lagoons (detention
time 3.5 days), flocculation, and clarification. Stormwater runoff from the process
areas is also routed to the treabnent system. The effluent (0.32 mgd) is discharged
through Outfall 001 to an unnamed tributary of the Monongahela River. Outfall 002
consists of noncontact cooling water (0.029 mgd) also discharged to a tributary of the
Monongahela River. The mass effluent limitations are based on negotiations over the
draft limits that were develoPed as follows: TSS effluent limitations based on a
consideration for intake level, the average net discharge over a 3 year period, and
an application factor of 2.1 based on the 1975 Organic Chemicals Development Document;
The BOD limits based on statistical evaluation of discharge levels; Ammonia limits
based on steam stripper technology in the nitrogen fertilizer industry; and seasonal
limits for total phenols (develoPed due to less efficient biological treatment in cold
weather) designed to protect a downstream drinking water supply. Monitoring for
phenol, toluene, and chlorobenzene is required for one year to document the effects on
the receiving stream. A compliance schedule requires achievement of final effluent
limits by July 1, 1984. Biomonitoring requirements are established for one year and a
BMP plan is required.

WV0022047: Borg-Warner Chemicals, Weston plant No.2, in Morgantown, West Virginia
(near north, central border) is in the Organic Chemicals Category (40 CFR 414) and
produces alkylated phenols, (SIC 2865) organophosphorus chemicals and hydrochloric
acid. All process wastewater receives neutralization and aerated lagoon treatment
prior to discharge of 280,000 gpd (avg) through Outfall 002 to a water quality limited
section of the Monongahela River, approximately 1/2 mile upstream from the Morgantown
water supply intake on the opposite bank. Noncontact cooling water from the river is
held in a cooling pond and discharged through Outfall 001, with no limits other than
pH. The basis for BCT/BPJ regulation of Outfall 002 is the existing BPT limits and
the performance record of the plant, which has demonstrated treatment levels
substantially below BPT. BCT limits have been determined to equal BPT limits, which
also provides for a possible 20% increase in production at the facility. Total
phenols are regulated by West virginia water quality criteria limits of 0.005 mg/l (in
stream); the background level in the stream is 0.0015 mg/l. Seasonally variable 1 imi ts
for total phenols are used, with maximum limit of 3.0 kg/d when stream flow is below
400 cfs. No mixing zone is established; the total stream flow is used. Quarterly
bioassay testing is required for the first year to determine the relationship of the
48-hr LC50 to the instream waste concentration. Phenol, priority pollutant 65., is
suspected to be present, and quarterly GC/MS monitoring of a 24-hr composite sample is
required for one year to determine whether 1 imi ts should be issued. The permit was
under appeal at the time this abstract was written.

WY003l24l: The TLP, Inc. facility in the Town of Burns, Laramie Co., WY, (extreme
S.E. corner of state) is a meat packing plant (SIC 2011) and is a new source in the
Meat Products Category, Simple Slaughterhouse Subcategory (40 CFR 432.10 Subpart A).
The home office is in Toledo, OH, and the new facility will pack 4,000 lambs per day
(226,757 kg/d Live weight Killed). Lambs will be slaughtered, dressed, and shipPed as
carcasses or boxed lamb. Inedible by-products (blood, pelts, paunch, fat, bones and
casing) will be shipped fresh or salted and shipped weekly. Edible by-products will
be cleaned, frozen, and shipPed weekly. Wastewater screenings will be sent to an off-
site renderer. Treated process wastewater (240,000 gpd) will include sanitary wastes
(2,000 gpd) and cooling water (8,600 gpd), and will be discharged at Outfall 001 to an
unnamed drainage ditch flowing 3 miles to Muddy Creek. Treatment consists of
screening, anaerobic lagoon, extended aeration activated sludge, clarification with
return sludge to the extended aeration basins and waste sludge to the anaerobic
lagoon, and aerobic lagoons for effluent polishing. The basis for effluent limits
are: Ammonia - effluent guidelines (40 CFR 432.10 Subpart A); BOD & TSS - BPJ
determination that BCT = BPT (using existing BPJ guidelines); and water quaITty for pH,
o & G, and Fecal Coliform. The permit has no schedule of compliance as it is for a
new source.
