Industrial NPDES
Permits
-------
PREFACE
Abstracts of industrial NPDES Permits provides rapid access to information
contained in approximately 510 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
authority 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 may be more stringent than
necessary for other dischargers.

Fourth Edition - July 1986
-------
FOREWAED
The fourth edition of the Abstracts of Industrial NPDES Permits is a
convenient desk-top reference for permit 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 permit
condensed to a standardized one-page format for quick review. Readers are
encouraged to obtain the complete permit and fact sheet for more details and are
referred to the Environmental Permit Regulations in the April 1, 1983 Federal
Register for a description of the NPDES permitting process.
The file of permit abstracts features:
o permits in all of the primary and many of the secondary industries
o permits from all EPA Regions and most NPDES States
o a Keyword Index to locate principal items in the abstracts (i.e.,
chromium treatment)
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 permitting techniques including effluent
limitations guidelines, water quality and best professional judgment-
based permits
o applications of special permit 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:

AK3000507: Collier Carbon and Chamical 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
ammonia, (40 CFR 418.23) 3553 tpd, ana prilled and granulated urea, (43 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 interim 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.

AK0000663: St. Elias Ocean Products. Inc. in Cordova, Alaska, processes salmon
(500,000 pounds per day), salmon roe (15,000 ppd), halibut (50,000 ppd), herring
(100,000 ppd) and shellfish (50,000 ppd) which includes crabs, scallops, and clams
into frozen, canned, and salted products (SIC 2091, 2092). Ifte plant operations place
the facility in the Canned and Preserved Seafood Category (40 CFR 408). Seafood
processing wastes undergo grinding prior to discharge through submerged Outfall 001 to
Orca Inlet at a maximum flow rate of 1.39 mgd. The pipe is to be at a depth to
maximize dispersion of the wastes. Sanitary wastes are routed to a POTW in Cordova.
The permit limits are BPJ using proposed BCT (=SPT) guidelines for the seafood
industry. Visual inspections of the shoreline and the receiving water surface for
accumulations of seafood wastes will be made weekly during the processing season.
Underwater dive surveys shall be conducted by a diver who is a fishery or marine
biologist twice per year at the following times: (1) Seven days prior to salmon
processing or no later, than June 1; (2) during the peak of salmon processing or no
later than August 15; (3) seven days after the termination of the processing or no
later than October 15, or if salmon and crab are both processed, no later than
March 15. The outfall area at the end of the pipe will be inspected, and a report
submitted no later than 30 days after each dive. The permit shall be reopened upon
promulgation of applicable BCT guidelines, or if there is an indication of adverse
water quality iirpacts from the seafood waste discharge.

AK0000680: rmt-nh Harbor Seafoods. Ltd. (Viceroy plant), located in Unalaska, Alaska,
produces and freezes a maximum of 50 tpd of king crab, 30 tpd of tanner crab, 30 tpd
of salmon, and 30 tpd of herring (SIC 2091). Crab are delivered to the plant live and
are butchered, cooked, cleaned, packed and frozen in the shell. Salmon are delivered
fresh and graded and frozen or gutted, dressed and frozen. Herring are also delivered
fresh, to be packed and frozen. The facility is in the Canned and Preserved Seafood
Category (40 CFR 408). Plant discharges are to Unalaska Bay at Outfall 001 and
Iliuliuk Bay at Outfall 002. Outfall 001 is submerged at a 76-foot depth, and
consists of process and sanitary wastewaters (1.032 mgd). (Xitfall 002 is noncontact
cooling water (0.25 mgd). Treatment of sanitary wastewater consists of activated
sludge and chlorination; process wastes receive grinding to 0.5 inches (in diameter).
Noncontact cooling water is discharged directly to the bay without treatment. Permit
limits are based on BPJ of BCT=BPT guidelines. There shall be no accumulation of
process wastes onshore, and weekly visual inspections will be made of the shoreline,
outfalls, and waste conveyance system. If full scale processing of any bottomfish

flows first to a dredge pond, then to tailings, before returning to the soiree.
Discharges that occur are to the Snake River. Guidelines have not been promulgated
for placer mining; therefore, gfil has been used to determine the BAT limits in placer
mining permits. The turbidity and arsenic limitations were established to meet State
water quality standards. As a result of written comments and public testimony, draft
permits were modified with regards to limitations, management practices and sampling
frequency effective 6/10/85. Discharges from mercury amalgamation, cyanidation, froth
flotation, and heap and vat leaching are prohibited. Biomonitoring is not required.
Alaska placer mining permits will expire in December, 1986.

AK0035165: Pacific Coast: Molybdenum Company is located in Southeast Alaska, 45 miles
east of Ketchikan, and is in the Ore Mining and Dressing Category (40 CFR 440).
Facility operations involved the use of two adits (mine tunnels used for access,
drainage, and/or ventilation) for exploratory activities and a 1983 bulk sampling
program for molybdenum (SIC 1061) at a rate of 60 tpd of rock. Even though the adits
have been inactive since the completion of the bulk sampling program in 1983, they
still discharge seepage water consisting of groundwater which has percolated down from
upper areas of the mine. Outfall 001, the Quartz Hill adit, discharges 0.40 mgd to
Beaver Creek, while Outfall 002, the Bear Meadow adit, discharges 0.618 mgd to
White Creek. Both adits receive the same treatment: Reagents are added to the
seepage water for coagulation and flocculation. The water then flows through two silt
boxes in series to settle out the solids. Baffles in the boxes trap any oil and
grease from the underground mine equipment; the final step is passage through a
settling pond prior to discharge. Because the adits are inactive, effluent guidelines
are not applicable. Limitations are based on BPJ using BAT guidelines for the
industry to limit copper, zinc, lead, mercury, and cadmium, and BCT(=BPT) guidelines
to limit TSS and pH. The company has no plans to resume work in the adits.
Biomonitoring is not required.

replaced by hypochlorite decomposition effluent. The three effluents shall be sampled
separately. 001A is treated by precipitation, filtration and carbon absorption, with
the exertion of the noncontact cooling water which is untreated, and is combined with
001 before entering the creek. The interim limits at 001A are from the previous
permit, and are more stringent than limits found in applicable HPT guidelines. The
limits in effect from 7/1/84 until the permit expiration date are based on BAT
guidelines using a production rate of 820,000 lb/d of chlorine. Nickel monitoring may
be discontinued if the monitoring indicates an insignificant concentration is present.
The temperature limit at 001 is from the previous permit. The permit contains a
compliance schedule to meet the BAT limits for mercury and TRC by 7/1/84 at 001A.
BMPs are included, and an SPOC plan is to be implemented in accordance with 40 CFR

AL0000302: Fruehauf Corporation is an aluminum forming facility (SIC 3353) located in
Decatur, Alabama. The facility has the following daily production in the Coil Coating
Category (40 CFR 465): Aluminum Subcategory - 128,779 sq. meters; and Galvanized
Subcategory - 118,756 sq. meters. In the Aluminum Forming Category (40 CFR 467), the
following daily production is reported: Rolling with Neat Oils Subcategory: roll mill
- 1,023,328 sq. meters; continuous casting - 253,626 sq. meters; cleaning or etching
bath rinse - 319,972 sq. meters; and Extrusion Subcategory: core - 349,434 sq.
meters; press heat treatment - 349,434 sq. meters, direct chill casting - 300,477 sq.
meters; cleaning or etching bath rinse - 16,552 sq. meters. Outfall 001 consists of
process wastewater treated by mixing, reduction, chemical precipitation,
neutralization and sedimentation. Sludge is treated in sludge lagoons. Process
wastewater was formerly limited at an internal outfall, but a permit modification
changes process wastewater flow to a single outfall (001). Effluent limitations are
in effect at the time of modification. Limits on chromium, zinc, cyanide, oil and
grease, and TSS are based on BPT/BAT effluent guidelines based on reported production
rates from each subpart. Aluminum, copper, and iron limits are also based on BAT, but
additional allowances are given based on BRJ because these pollutants are believed
present in wastestreams although limits are not included in some subcategories.
Mass limits at Outfall 001 are calculated according to production and equivalent
concentration limits in the permit are based on a flow of 0.279 mgd. Outfall 002
consists of 0.005 mgd sanitary wastewater treated by activated sludge treatment,
sedimentation, chlorine disinfection and effluent limitations reflect
secondary treatment levels for sanitary discharge. Outfall 003 consists of untreated
noncontact cooling water (flow rate not given) and limits are based on BRJ. All three
outfalls from the facility discharge to the Betty Rye Branch to the Tennessee River.
A BMP Plan and biomonitoring requirements are not included in the permit.

AL0333841: Reichhold Chemicals, Inc. of Bay Minette, AL (Mobile area) is in the Tal 1
Oil Rosin, Pitch & Fatty Acics Subcategory (43 CFR 454.43 Subpart D, 228,333 lb/d
production) and in the Rosin-Based Derivatives Subcategory (43 CFR 454.60, Subpart F,
116,033 lb/d production) of the Gum & Wocd 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, 15,033 gpd
of condensate and blowdown, and 97,403 ypd (average) of storm water. Treatment
consists of oil skimming and recovery, acid and pol/ner 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 previous permit, for which the cotipany was in compliance. The limits 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
Hoi linger Creek, would require upgrading treabnent beyond what would be presumed to be
BAT. Therefore, Reichhold has agreed to continue to operate its existing treabnent
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 company
will continue to monitor and report its wastewater treabnent results. The permit also
requites that during periods of high rainfall, the first flush of storm water must be
retained for treatment before bypassing additional runoff during the same
precipitation event. However, no BMP plan is required.

AL00Q1597: 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 Mobile River (7QlO=4UOO 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/BCT. These limits are designed to
protect water quality in the Mobile River. To study the effects of Pydrin production,
biomonitoring 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 BRJ reissuance of the BP! 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 implementation schedule includes priority pollutant
testing per the 2C NPDES application, application for an Underground Injection Control
Permit, and abandonment of injection well #W800 and design and construction of new wells.
BMP's are employed, with stormwater 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. Biomonitoring screening tests (5% effluent, 95% dilution) is
required once per month for the first six months. If mortality is less than 50%,
testing is required only once over six months. Greater than 50% mortality will
require more stringent monitoring.

Paperboard Category (40 CFR 430). The facility manufactures neutral sulfite semi-
chemical corrugating medium paperboard (SIC 2631), and discharges from two outfalls to
the Tennessee River. Outfall 001 is process wastewater (3.8 mgd) and stormwater
runoff (<0.17 mg/mo.) treated by screening, sedimentation, aeration lagoons,
coagulation, stabilization ponds, and flischaKgt? tQ surface WfrteE. Sludge is treated
by gravity thickening, belt filtration, landfill and land application. Outfall 002
is sanitary wastewater (8,400 gpd), treated by screening, grinding, activated sludge,
disinfection sapid gand filtration and discharge to surface water. Because of EPA
anti-backsliding policy, limitations are based on BPJ. Limitations based on
promulgated BPT Guidelines (40 CFR 430.22, Subpart B, Semi-Chemical Sodium Base Mills,
and 430.52, Subpart E, Paperboard from Wastepaper, Corrugating Medium Furnish
Subdivision), using a production factor of 999 tpd (925 tpd raw materials + 74 tpd
wastepaper), are less stringent than those in the previous permit. In the Summer of
1979, a modified life cycle (21 day) Daphnia magna bioassay was conducted at Outfall
001, using four test concentrations ranging from 0%-100% treated effluent. No
toxicity was indicated. The permit requires a one-year monitoring program of the
Tennessee River to include temperature and dissolved oxygen data. D.O. in the Summer
has dropped below 5.0 mg/1, and a program will be implemented to prevent further
decreases. BMP and an SPOC plan are required.

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
date of the permit.

to unnamed tributaries of Shades Creek and wastewater, which consists of drainage from
surface mining, is treated in storage ponds by neutralization and sedimentation.
Excavated sediment is landfilled and the landfilling sites must be covered and
revegetated. Effluent limitations in the permit are based on NSPS effluent guidelines
and in addition, precipitation event and post-mining limitations are included. In
order to qualify for post-mining discharge limitations, the facility must cease all
mining operations and begin revegetation. The facility must also apply for and
receive a Phase II Bond Release from the Alabama Surface Mining Commission. Tying the
post-mining discharge limitation to the Phase II Bond Release will effectively protect
Alabama's water quality. There is no biomonitoring requirement, but a BMP Plan
including an SPCC Plan is included in the permit.

AI00475y7: The General Electric Cfcropany in Montgomery, Alabana, is a new aouroe in the Chlor-Altoli/toiaffiragpi
Oell Subcategory of the inorganic Chemicals Manufacturing category (40 CTR 415, Subpart F), and produces bulk
plastics and polymers of the organic and silicones type (102/750 lte/day) (SIC 2812, 2B21, and 2869)* Outfall
001 consists of a total discharge of MA mgd to the Alabama River of sanitary, utility, oooling, stoan, aid
process westeveters fran the tranufacture of LEXAN (7.5 ngd), NCTOL (04 ngd), and silicone materials (02
mgd). Sanitary waste is treated in an extended aeration activated sludge plant and is internally monitored at
Outfall 001 A. process, oooling, utility, and stonnveters are treated in oanbined inorganic/organic wastewater
treatment facilities which includes solids renoval, neutralizaticn, clarification, equalization, activated
sludge oridaticn, and intermittant p06t opcygenaticn for organic vestes; and solids renoval, chemical
precipitation, flooculatian, clarification, and neutralization for inorganic vestes. the basis for the
limitations at Outfall 001A are Hater Quality Criteria and federal Standards for sanitary vestes. The basis
for the limitations at outfall 001 is a combination of ns>s effluent guidelines and B>j. Hbtal Residual
Chlorine, lead, and pH are based on N3PS. Although limitations for ES are also specified in the guidelines,
the permit limitations are a reflection of treatment plant removal due to the presence of additional scuroes
of TSS fran other parts of the facility. BCD-5 and DvCX are thought to be indicators of voter quality injects
and are therefore based on Alabsca veter quality standards. Limitations for phenols, Cbgper, Zinc, toluene,
and Methylene Chloride are based on treatment plant renoval efficiencies (in mo6t cases around 95%).
BicnCTiitaring is required to determine toxicity at these limits, and must be repeated whenever vesteveter
characteristics change. A BMP plan prohibits adding dilution veter to achieve compliance, and includes
implementation of a 3>OC plan. Contaminated starmveter impxndnents to control runoff from construction areas
must have provisions for monitoring and stemming of floating materials. Any overflows fran this impaundnent
riiall be reported iirmediately and analyzed for any parameters of concern.

AR0000582: The ALCOA facility located in Bauxite, Arkansas, is in both the Ore Mining
and Dressing Category (40 CFR 440) and the Nonferrous Metals Category (40 CFR 421)
mining bauxite via open pits (SIC 1051) and refining it into aluminum (SIC 2819).
Discharges are to Holly Creek (CXitfall 009), Hurricane Creek (Oitfalls 007,008) and
Big Branch Creek thence Dry Lost Creek thence Lost Creek (Outfall 010). Outfalls
008, 009, and 010 consist of acid mine drainage water with daily average flows of 3.62
mgd, 2.42 mgd, and 2.63 mgd, respectively, neutralized with hydrated lime. CXitfall
007 is overflow from the Storm Lake process water impoundment containing bauxite
refining process wastewater, sanitary wastewater, and stormwater runoff. As of 5/25/84,
there has been no discharge from this outfall; any discharges that occur in the future
will receive neutralization as treatment. Outfalls 001A, 001-006, 011, and 012 are no
longer operative. ALCQA's request to use the process wastewater for neutralization
treatment of mine water was not accepted pursuant to 40 CFR 421.13 (BAT); 421.13(a)
states that there will be no discharge of process wastewater except for the stormwater
allowances of 421.13(b). The permit limitations are based on BPT/BAT guidelines for the
mining industry (40 CFR 440.22, 440.23). A 99% pH compliance requirement (40 CFR
401.17) is included due to a pH concern. Biomonitoring requirements for Outfall 010
consist of 24-hour static screening tests using 100% effluent samples (by volume). If
survival of the test organisms is less than 80%, a replacement static 48-hour median
LC50 test must be performed on the originally collected sample. Tests will be conducted
quarterly for a duration of two (2) years.

AR0000680: Great Lakes Chemical Corporation in El Dorado, Arkansas, is a fire
retardent (SIC 2879) and bromide manufacturing plant in the Inorganic Chemicals
Category (40 CFR 415). Outfall 001 discharges stormwater, once-through cooling
water, exterior truck wash and condensate at an average rate of 0.15 mgd to Gum Creek
to the Bayou de Loutre. Outfall 002 discharges stormwater, safety system flush and
steam condensate at an average rate of 0.18 mgd to Walker Creek to Corney Bayou.
Discharge at Outfall 001 is estimated to average 77% stormwater, and at Outfall 002,
stormwater comprises 93% of the discharge. Flow at these outfalls is noncontinuous
and discharge is only during large rainfall events. Outfall 003 consists of 0.004 mgd
sanitary waste. Treatment techniques are unspecified; all process waste is discharged
to deep injection wells, but toxics, chloride, and temperature limits are imposed due
to possible accidental discharge or lack of receiving water dilution. At Outfalls 001
and 002, concentration limits are based on the following: chlorides and temperature -
water quality standards; oil and grease - Region VI guidance; total organic carbon,
chromium, total organic halides, and ethylene dibromide - BRJ. At Outfall 003, limits
on BOD and TSS are previous permit limits. Biomonitoring screening tests are required
once each quarter for a period of two years, by 24 hour composite sampling. If there
is a survival of less than 80% of the test organisms, a 48 hour I£50 test is required.
There is no requirement for a BMP Plan included in the permit.

AR0001171: 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 bromine from subsurface brine solutions involves puirping 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 employed 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,
biomonitorinq is also required; however, no BMP Plan is required.

AR0036544: Union Carbide Corporation, Films-Packaging Division is located near Osceola
in Mississippi County, Arkansas. The facility manufactures regenerated celluose food
casings for the meat packaging industry, involving the dissolution of cellulose to
produce viscose and resulting in the precipitation of cellulose in tubular form (SIC
3079). Outfall 001 consists of process solution, equipment cleanup water, product
washwater, and sanitary wastewater which flows at a rate of 1.09 mgd to the
Mississippi River. This wastewater is divided into two streams based on BOD content.
The low BOD stream is treated by neutralization and equalization, and sanitary and
high BOD effluent is sent to a biological treatment station before it is combined with
the other effluent and treated by clarification. Sludge is treated in a sludge lagoon
and drying bed. There is an internal outfall (101) located at the discharge point of
the biological treatment station which is a monitoring point for phenols. Outfall 002
and Outfall 003 consist of untreated stormwater which discharge intermittently to the
Tyronza River. There are no applicable effluent guidelines for this facility, but
Development Documents for the Inorganic Chemicals Manufacturing and Petroleum Refining
Categories were used to derive BRJ limits at the facility. At Outfall 001, limits on
COD and ammonia are previous permit limits, and BOD and TSS limits reflect BCT for
the facility. Chromium limits at Outfall 001 and limits on phenols at internal
Outfall 101 reflect BAT levels for the facility. There is no BMP Plan required in the
permit, but biomonitoring is required once each quarter for two years at Outfall 001.

AR0037770: CPS Chemical Company is located in West Memphis, Arkansas. The facility
is a multipurpose batch operation which produces specialty chemicals and custom
chemicals (SIC 2865) in the Organic Chemicals and Plastics and Synthetics Category (40
CFR 414). Treated process wastewater and contaminated stormwater are discharged
continuously through Outfall 002 into the Mississippi River at an average rate of
0.052 mgd. The current treatment system employed is composed of a holding pond followed by
equalization, aeration and final clarification. Effluent limitations in the permit
are a BRJ determination of BCT/BAT for this discharger based on the level of treatment
currently demonstrated at the facility, the proposed effluent guidelines, and on the
level of treatment attainable after upgrading the current treatment system. While the
current treatment system may not achieve the current permit limits, it is possible
through a combination of in-plant controls and modification or upgrading of the pond
system from aerated lagoons to activated sludge treatment to allow further
biodegradation of the pollutants to meet the limits. Biomonitoring is required and a
priority pollutant scan must be conducted at a minimum of once per quarter on the
treated effluent.

CA0004111: Aerojet-General Corporation of Sacramento, California is in the aerospace
industry (SIC 4939, combination industries and systems) and employs 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 and 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 CrT3, 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
guidelines 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 compliance was required
following completion of construction by 7A5/81. The facility is currently meeting
NPDES permit limits; however, Aerojet-General is on the Superfund priority list as a
result of groundwater contamination.

Manufacturing Category (40 CFR 427), producing asbestos/cement (A/C) pipe and
polyvinyl chloride (FVC) pipe (SIC 3292, 2821). Two waste streams enter North
Littlejohn Creek, a tributary to French Camp Slough and the San Joaquin River:
Outfall 001 consisting of once-through noncontact cooling water (26,000 gpd) and
Outfall 002 consisting of wastewater from a grit removal operation (24,000 gpd). 001
flows through a wet well prior to discharge. 002, however, bypasses the well and is
discharged directly to the creek. Outfall 003 is process wastewater (1.063 mgd) from
the production of A/C pipe; the FVC production process is a completely closed system
where all water is recycled. 003 is confined in impoundments consisting of two
unlined settling and evaporation/percolation basins as per a BAT regulation of zero
discharge of process wastewater. Outfall 004 is sanitary wastewater (27,000 gpd)
routed to a POTW without pretreatment. The permit limitations are based on BAT
guidelines and water quality standards. Discharges from 001 and 002 shall not create a
zone of temperatures greater than 1 F above ambient which exceeds 25% of the cross-
sectional area of French Camp Slough. The survival rate of test fishes in 96-hour
bioassays in 100% effluent shall not be less than 70% for any one bioassay, or 90% for
any three or more consecutive bioassays. By 6/1/85, the facility is to submit a

CA0004839: Libbey-Owens-Ford Company of Lathrop, California, manufactures
architectural (float) glass and both tempered and laminated automotive glass (SIC 3211)
in the Glass Manufacturing Category (40 CFR 426). Plant discharges consist of process
wastewater from Outfalls 001-003 (0.30 mgd, 0.70 mgd, and 0.90 mgd, respectively),
domestic wastewater from Outfall 004 (0.025 mgd), and noncontact cooling water and
blowdown from Outfall 005 (0.30 nqd). 002 and 003 receive oil/water separation. 004
is treated in an extended aeration basin/settling tank package plant. Sanitary waste
sludge is removed by a contractor; process waste sludge disposal is by landfill. All
five outfalls are combined with stormwater runoff and basement infiltration water in a
one million gallon cooling/equalization pond before discharge to the San Joaquin River
at a maximum rate of 2.5 mgd. During the growing season (April - October), up to 100%
of the combined discharge is diverted to two additional on-site holding ponds and used
for irrigation on nearby farmland. Limits are based on water qu*i i<-y standards and
BPT/BAT effluent guidelines for the glass manufacturing industry. Process wastewater
mass, limits are calculated using production rates of 750 tpd of float glass, 150,000
sq. ft./day of tempered auto, glass, and 100,000 of laminated auto, glass. The actual
mass limits are to be calculated using average daily production ^rates derived on a
weekly basis; mass limits for each process waste stream may then be added together and
compared to a single sample of the combined effluents for compliance. 96 hour
bioassays are required for the determination of 70% survival as a minimum for any one
bioassay and 90% survival as a median for any three or more consecutive bioassays, in
100% effluent. Test fishes are not specified. The facility was to submit a
wastewater effluent land disposal plan by 7/1/85 and a sludge disposal report by
8/1/85. A BMP plan is not required.

domestic wastewater from Outfall 004 (0.025 mgd), and none can tact cooling water and
blowdown from Outfall 005 (0.30 mgd). 002 and 003 receive oil/water separation. 004
is treated in an extended aeration basin/settlina tank package plant. Sanitary waste
sludge is removed by a contractor; process waste sludge disposal is by landfill. All
five outfalls are combined with stormwater runoff and basement infiltration water in a
one million gallon cooling/equalization pond before discharge to the San Joaquin River
at a maximum rate of 2.5 mgd. During the growing season (April - October), up to 100%
of the combined discharge is diverted to two additional on-site holding ponds and used
for irrigation on nearby farmland. Limits are based on water quality standards and
BPT/BAT effluent guidelines for the glass manufacturing industry. Process wastewater
mass limits are calculated using production rates of 750 tpd of float glass, 150,000
sq. ft./day of tempered auto, glass, and 100,000 of laminated auto, glass. The actual
mass limits are to be calculated using average daily production rates derived on a
weekly basis; mass limits for each process waste stream may then be added together and
compared to a single sample of the combined effluents for compliance. 96 hour
bioass^ys are required for the determination of 70% survival as a minimum for any one
bioassay and 90% survival as a median for any three or more consecutive bioassays, in
100% effluent. Test fishes are not specified. The facility was to submit a
wastewater effluent land disposal plan by 7/1/85 and a sludge disposal report by
8/1/85. A BMP plan is not required.

CA0005061: Chevron Chemical Co.,Ortho Division, in Richmond, G\ (On San Francisco Bay, N. of Oakland) is adjacent to the
Chevron USA Refinery and Allied Chanical Corp. (see abstract of joint permit, CA0O05134). The plant is in the Ferti 1 ier
Manufacturing Category (40 CFR 418) and the Pesticides Chemicals Category (40 CFR 455) and produces fertilizers containing
comoinations of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potash (SIC 2B73); and a vaiety of pesticides, fungicides and herbicides (SIC
2879). These cheiucals contain various toxic substances such as organophospnates, 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 POTV). Wastes 001, 002 & 003 are polluted stormuater 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 ranoved 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 norvcontact cooling water and
12.5 nxjd of process wastewater prior to discharge to Castro Creek, tributary to San Pablo Bay. The channel receives
supplenental aeration. The permit limitations below reflect the discharge of Waste 004 at Chevron Chanical, 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 eliminating the discharge althogether by 12/31/83.

G\0OO5134: Chevron Refinery (Richmond) and Al 1 ied Chgnica 1 Corp. (Joint Permit): Chevron USA Richmond, CA R finery (on Son
Francisco Bay, N. of Oakland) is an intejrated refinery (SIC 2911) in the Petroleun Refining Category (40 CFR 419) and uses
365,000 tbl/day of crude oil to produce fuels, lubricants, asphalt and petrochemicals. The plant provides wastewater
treatment for one other facility under the single NFDES permit: Allied Chemical Corporation is in the Inoraanic
Chemicals Category (40 CFR 415) and produces sulfuric acid and oleun (SIC 2819) using as part cf its raw material
alkylation acid and sulfur frcm the refinery and then returns 72,000 gpd of mostly blovdown (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 confined effluent flows in a 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 streams consists of aimwnia,
phenol and sul f ide stripping, chemical oxidation and precipitation, API separators, neutralization, and land spreading of
sludge. The ccmoined 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 pendinq premutation
of BAT guidelines. The BPT mass limits ate based on effluent guidelines (40 CFR 419.50)" Water quality standards require a
10:1 dilution ratio, that is not currently being attained, and 96 hr. bioassays are required monthly at 001 and 003 to
determine fish toxicity. Extensive monitoring of the receiving water is required at 12 stations and at 003. The allowable
change in dissolved oxygen, dissolved sulfide, pH, and un-ionized arnronia in the receiving water is regulated in the permit.
Net limits allow a 5 ng/1 increase in TOC in the cooling wnter 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 CAt}005O61, Chevron Chenical

CA0006165: Stauffer Chemical Company, legated in Martinez, California, manufactures
sulfuric acid (SIC 2819) by regenerating spent refinery sludge acids and by burning
sulfur. The facility is in the Inorganic Chemicals Manufacturing Category
(40 CFR 415), and has five outfalls. Outfall 001 includes process wastewater, cooling
tower blowdown, washdowns, stormwater runoff, and pretreated cinder/slag leachate,
discharged to Peyton Slough at a monthly average dry weather flow rate of
approximately 0.063 mgd (excluding leachate). Outfalls 002 through 005 consist of
domestic wastewater discharged to a subsurface leaching field; the discharges shall be
kept entirely beneath the ground surface at all times. The leachate at 001 is
pretreated with precipitation, flocculation. neutralization, and settling. Final
treatment of 001 is by the same processes. BCT/BAT guidelines for the inorganic
chemicals industry have not been promulgated. The company has treatment technology
equivalent to BAT based on EPJ. Permit limits are calculated using an average dry
weather flow, and concentrations based on 1983/84 plant performance data. The
settleable solids and receiving water limits are exceptions, however, based instead on
water quality standards in accordance with a Water Quality Control Plan, San Francisco
Bay Basin (July 21, 1982). Compliance with the concentration limits has been achieved
100% of the time. However, Stauffer has only been in compliance with the mass limits
97% (daily maximum limits) and 92% (monthly average limits) of the time. Therefore
the following condition is added: The total mass of a constituent in any calendar
month shall not exceed 30 times the monthly average mass limit; if a monthly average
limit is not given, total mass shall not exceed 30 times the daily maximum limit.
Survival in a 96-hour renewal bioassay using a salmonid species and in a 96-hour
static bioassay using Stickleback shall be a median of 90% and a 90 percentile value
of not less than 70%. Compliance is to be determined by the Stickleback test results.
The implementation of a BMP plan consistent with general guidance in the NPDES BMP

CA0007005: The Kaiser Refractories Division of Kaiser Aluminum & 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 63 mgd of seawater from Monterey Bay and produces 720 tpd of
Deadburned Magnesite (SIC 3295, refractory-grade periclase, MgO) by chenical
precipitation with dolcmitic lime to produce a magnesium hydroxide slurry, MgtOH^/
which is renoved in five 250' 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 solids are pumped to a pond 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 "Toxicity 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.

CA0057177: Powerine Oil Company of Sante Fe Springs, California is in the Petroleum
Refining Category (40 CFR 419), (SIC 2911). This permit is for storm runoff from the
petroleum refining facility. All process waters from the refinery are discharged to
the LA County Sanitary District System (indirect Discharger). Powerine discharges up
to 11.8 mgd of storm runoff, containing no additives, which may pick up pollutants
from the tanK farm and other open areas of the refinery. The wastes flow to settling
basins (BMP's) and then to a storm drain to the North Fork Coyote Creek, which is a
tributary of the San Gabriel River. The discharge is above the tidal prism. The
mass and concentration limitations set for the Powerine facility runoff waters are
based on the water quality control plan adopted for the Los Angeles River Basin and on
Section 301 of the Clean Water Act. The permit is an administrative extension to the
previous BPT permit, with the exception that BOD-5 and TOC limits were dropped and the
pH limit was lowered from 6.5 to 6.0.

C00000248: Am ax. Inc.. located in Climax, Colorado, processes molybdenum ore
(SIC 1061) from open pit and underground mines in the Ore Mining and Dressing Category
(40 CFR 440). Hie facility has the capacity to process up to 52,000 tons of ore per
day. Sanitary and mill wastewaters, mine drainage water, and runoff from the mine
area are routed to a tailings pond for settling. Additional treatment is provided in
a wastewater treatment plant that originally consisted of ion exchange, lime
precipitation, flotation, filtration, and chlorination; unspecified modifications have
been made. Treated waters are held in a retention pond before entering Ten Mile Creek
through Outfall 001, a discharge flume. Because of excess runoff from snowmelt in the
Spring, some of the treated water from the settling pond may bypass the treatment plant
and be discharged directly into the creek mentioned above as per a EAT storm exemption
(40 CFR 440.131(b)). The snowmelt bypass will only occur between May 1-July 31 for a
period of time no longer than 60 consecutive days. The permit limitations are based
on water quality standards with the following exceptions: pH and non-bypass TSS
limits based on BPT/fcAT effluent guidelines (40 CFR 440.102, 440.103), and oil and
grease and bypass TSS limits based on state effluent standards. Am ax has chosen not
to discharge process wastewaters from 12/1 - 2/28 to minimize effects on trout during
low steam flows. A groundwater monitoring program plan was to be submitted by
9/22/84, and the first report was required within 120 days from the date of program
approval; reports will be required yearly thereafter. The reports are to include a
soil classification of the surface layer and a soil profile to a 10* depth. The
permit contains a BMP plan effective during bypass conditions. BMP requirements
include diverting unpolluted runoff around mine wastes, and revegetating and
stabilizing areas exposed to erosion. The permit may be reopened for toxic
pollutants.

CO-0001066: The Great Western Sugar Company of Ft. Moryan, 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

CO-0032158: Eastman Kodak Company, Kodak Colorado Division, operates a photographies
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 POT'?. Several recovery and treatment processes are used to minimize pollutant
loading, including: waste acid regeneration, sand filter for silver recovery; and
reverse osmosis denineralization. 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,
anmonia (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 mg/1 of un-ionized ammonia based on strean flow; maximum anmonia 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 emergency bypass.

C00034045: Rio Blanco Oi1 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 BP J 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
SPCC Plan is required.

CO-0035394: AMAX, Inc., Mt. ETimons 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. Strean flow is
< 4.6 cfs at Q7 10? however, effective 07.^0 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, electrof1peculation, fi1ter,
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 BMP's.

C00036897: IBM Corporation operates an electronic equipment and magnetic tape
manufacturing plant at its facility in Boulder, Colorado. After detection and
identification of toxic organics in the groundwater resulting from accidental spills,
and leaks from undergound storage tanks, IBM constructed a wastewater treatment system
for groundwater containing organic compounds. This is a new permit regulating the
discharge from the waste treatment system. There is no effluent guidelines category
for the operations covered under this permit. After extensive monitoring by IBM, five
plumes of contamination have been discovered. The contaminated groundwater from
Plumes 1,2,3, and 5 is pumped from a series of wells to the treatment system which
consists of filtration followed by carbon adsorption, then oxidation catalyzed by
ultra violet light, if needed. The design flow of the treatment system is 225 gpm or
0.324 mgd. Plume 4 is not treated at the treatment system but is treated at the site,
by earth removal, etc. Outfall 001 is the discharge from the treatment facility to
St. Vrain Creek. Outfall 002 includes storm runoff, air conditioner condensate,
groundwater infiltration (and any associated organics), and possibly irrigation return
flow. Monitoring is required at this outfall to detect changes in the organics
levels, which will eventually be treated at the source. The basis of the effluent
limits is as follows: 1) State Effluent Standards - TSS, oil and grease, and pH; 2)
BRJ, using the Handbook of Environmental Data on Organic Chemicals, - tetrahydrofuran,
methyl ethyl ketone, toluene, dichloromethane, and cyclohexanone; human health limit,
using the Handbook of Toxic and Hazardous Chemicals - xylene; and water quality - the
remaining parameters. This permit allows bypass of the treatment facility when the
water contains very low or non-detectable levels of organics, and requires the
preparation of a SPCC Plan.

C00036897: IBM Corporation operates an electronic equipment and magnetic tape
manufacturing plant at its facility in Boulder, Colorado. After detection and
identification of toxic organics in the groundwater resulting from accidental spills,
and leaks from undergound storage tanks, IBM constructed a wastewater treatment system
for groundwater containing organic compounds. This is a new permit regulating the
discharge from the waste treatment system. There is no effluent guidelines category
for the operations covered under this permit. After extensive monitoring by IBM, five
plumes of contamination have been discovered. The contaminated groundwater from
Plumes 1,2,3, and 5 is pumped from a series of wells to the treatment system which
consists of filtration followed by carbon adsorption, then oxidation catalyzed by
ultra violet light, if needed. The design flow of the treatment system is 225 gpm or
0.324 mgd. Plume 4 is not treated at the treatment system but is treated at the site,
by earth removal, etc. Outfall 001 is the discharge from the treatment facility to
St. Vrain Creek. Outfall 002 includes storm runoff, air conditioner condensate,
groundwater infiltration (and any associated organics), and possibly irrigation return
flow. Monitoring is required at this outfall to detect changes in the organics
levels, which will eventually be treated at the source. The basis of the effluent
limits is as follows: 1) State Effluent Standards - TSS, oil and grease, and pH; 2)
BBJ, using the Handbook of Environmental Data on Organic Chemicals, - tetrahydrofuran,
methyl ethyl ketone, toluene, dichloromethane, and cyclohexanone; human health limit,
using the Handbook of Toxic and Hazardous Chemicals - xylene; and water quality - the
remaining parameters. This permit allows bypass of the treatment facility when the
water contains very low or non-detectable levels of organics, and requires the
preparation of a SPCC Plan.

DE0000035: DuPont de Nemours and Company, located in Seaford, Delaware, is a
manufacturer of 66 nylon resin by condensation polymerization of hexamethylene diamine
and adipic acid and the subsequent melt spinning of fiber. The facility is in the
Plastics and Synthetics Category (40 CFR 416) with the following outfalls discharging
to the Nanticoke River: Outfalls 001, 002, 003, and 009 - cooling water discharges
(Outfall 002 receives neutralization before discharge); Outfall 004 - refrigeration
units discharge and stormwater runoff; Outfall 005 - process and sanitary waste after
treatment consisting of equalization, activated sludge, nitrification, and land
disposal of digested sludge; Outfall 006 - the combined discharge of all outfalls;
Outfall 007 - ash pond overflow after neutralization and settling; and Outfall 008 -
retention pond emergency discharge. The basis for the permit limitations is BPJ and
is in accordance with state technology based requirements for BOD, TSS, pH, and oil
and grease. Both concentration and mass limits are imposed. Additional monthly
monitoring for ten pollutant parameters is required at Outfalls 001, 003, and 005
until sufficient data have been received and analyzed to determine the need for
imposing limitations. Before emergency discharges from Outfall 008 to the Nanticoke
River, a representative sample must be analyzed and submitted to the Department for
approval of the discharge, except when the discharge contains only coal pile runoff.

DE0000051: DuFont de Nemours and Company, Edge Moor Pigment Plant, of Edge Moor,
Delaware, is in the Inorganic Chemicals Category (40 CFR 415, Subpart V), and
discharges to the Delaware River. The facility manufactures titanium dioxide
pigments (SIC 2816) by the chloride process in which benefaction of raw ilmenite ore
and chlorination are combined in the same step. Ferrous chloride is a by-product of
the process and is converted to ferric chloride (SIC 2819) which is marketed as a
water treatment chemical. Outfall 001 consists of 6.29 mgd process wastewater and
cooling water treated by flocculation, sedimentation, and neutralization. Sludge
disposal is by landfilling. Outfalls 002 (2.97 mgd) and 003 (1.56 mgd) consist of
untreated noncontact cooling water and uncontaminated stormwater runoff. At Outfall
001, concentration limits are based on the following (equivalent mass limits based on
8.5 mgd flow): nickel and maximum daily chromium - BPT=BAT effluent guidelines;
average BOD and average lead - DRBC regulations; maximum BOD is 1.5 times the average
limit, maximum lead is 2.0 times the average limit based on BRJ; and average chromium
- state standards. The limit on average daily iron is a gross limit calculation on a
net addition of 2.0 mg/1 (state standards) over the intake iron concentration and the
maximum limit is based on past performance data. The maximum temperature limit is
higher than DRBC regulations but is taken from the previous permit limits which were
accepted after negotiations with the Delaware Department of Natural Resources and
Environmental Control (DNREC) and concurrence of DRBC. At Outfalls 002 and 003,
concentration limits were set using the intake water quality allowing no addition of
pollutants, and temperature limits are based on DRBC regulations. There is no BMP
Plan or biomonitoring required in the permit. The company is required to be in
compliance with pH limits for 99% of the time during any calendar month. Individual
excursions are limited to one hour for Outfalls 002 and 003 and by limits on acidity
and alkalinity for 001.

DE0000272: Stauffer Chemical Company manufactures carbon disulfide (SIC 2869) and
sodium hydrosulfide (SIC 2819) at its facility located in Delaware City, Delaware, and
is in the Inorganic Chemicals Category (40 CFR 415). Outfall 001, to the Delaware
River, averages 0.2 mgd process wastewater from sulfide stripping operations, cooling
tower and boiler blowdown, noncontact cooling water, and stormwater runoff treated by
neutralization, distillation, and sedimentation. Effluent limitations at this outfall
are based on the facility's past performance and on DRBC regulations. An amendment to
the permit includes effluent limitations and monitoring requirements for zinc at
Outfall 001 due to introduction of a new chemical in the cooling water treatment
system. Except for the addition of zinc, all effluent limits remain the same from the
effective date to the expiration date. Outfall 002 consists of untreated stormwater
runoff which discharges to Red Lion Creek. This water is suspected to be completely
free of pollutants, so BOD monitoring is the only requirement, based on BRJ. A
periodic washout of the sulfuric dioxide column (an air pollution device) is required
and must follow these conditions: (1) each washout must be completed in 30 days; (2)
no more than 20,000 gpd may discharge to 001, and no more than 100,000 gallons in the
30 day period; (3) total dissolved solids may not exceed an average concentration of
7% by weight, and temperature of the waste salt solution may not exceed 90 °F; (4)
composite sampling of sulfates, BOD, TSS, and TDS, and grab sampling of pH,
temperature and specific gravity and total volume of salt solution shall be reported
within 30 days of completion of each washout; and (5) samples are taken prior to
mixing with effluent from Outfall 001. The facility is also subject to strict rules
which require frequent coirsnunication with the Department when planning and carrying out
washout procedures. There is no BMP Plan or biomonitoring requirement included in the
permit.

DE0000451: NVF Company is located in Yorklyn, Delaware. The facility is engaged in
the manufacture of vulcanized fiber and water leaf paper (SIC 3079 and 2621) and there
is no effluent guideline category specified. Two discharges from the facility flow to
Red Clay. Creek. Outfall 001 is effluent from a wastewater treatment plant serving two
paper mills: Marshall Brothers Paper Mill, making waterleaf paper from purified wood
pulp; and Yorklyn Paper Mill, making waterleaf paper from cloth cuttings from garment
manufacture. Discharge from Outfall 001 is limited in the permit to a 30 day average
of 0.82 mgd and treatment is by screening, neutralization , activated sludge
treatment, and clarification. Outfall 002 consists of 2.17 mgd steam condensate,
boiler blowdown, noncontact cooling water, stormwater, and surface water upstream of
the NVF plant which is not treated before discharge. Effluent limitations on zinc at
both outfalls and temperature at Outfall 002, are based on actual plant performance
using BRJ; the maximum instantaneous concentration limit on zinc at Outfall 002 is the
previous permit limit. BOD and TSS limits at Outfall 001 are based on State
regulations requiring a minimum 85% reduction of raw wasteload. At Outfall 002, BOD
and TSS limits are based on the influent water quality of Red Clay Creek because the
company uses Red Clay Creek as the source of water in the treatment plant. The pH
limits at both outfalls are based on DRBC regulations. There is no requirement for a
BMP Plan at the facility, but biomonitoring is required on both discharges where a
series of three 24-hour static tests using Daphnia magna or pulex must be conducted
once per quarter. After four quarters of testing show greater than 80% survival, the
requirement may be modified. If the average survival rate is <80% then the company is
required to perform a flow through test. Using the flow through test, if survival is
< 50%, then the company is required to submit a toxicity reduction evaluation plan.

DE0000655: Allied Chemical Corp.-Delaware Vallev Works of Claymont, Delaware (on
Philadelphia Pike, near the DE-PA State line), is in the Inorganic Chemicals
Manufacturing Category (40 CFR 415). The facility is divided into two parts by U.S.
Route 13: The North Plant manufactures and packages specialty organic and inorganic
chemicals, and the South Plant manufactures sulfuric acid, alum, and photosalts
including ammonium thiosulfate (SIC 2819). Plant operations result in a single
discharge from Outfall 001 to the Delaware River consisting of boiler blowdown and
softener backwash from the powerhouse, process water and wash water from the South
Plant area and stormwater runoff (35 mgd). Treatment includes equalization,
filter pressing, and pH neutralization. All sanitary wastes and process water
(approximately 0.5 mgd) from the North Plant area are routed to a POTW after
unspecified pretreatment. Unregulated noncontact cooling water and uncontaminated
stormwater from internal Outfall 101 are combined with 001 prior to discharge. The pH
limits are based on a federal rule on compliance requirements for dischargers who
continuously monitor for pH (40 CFR 401.17). This permit was amended twice (June 20,
1984 and May 13, 1985) since its issuance on October 17, 1983. Only the temperature
limits were carried over from the previous permit. Ammonia, BCD-5 (includes the DKBC
allocation of 143 lb/d), CCD, flow and TSS limits (as noted in the abstract) are all
based on an analysis of previous discharge data; and temperature limits are from the
previous permit. Flow, TSS, ammonia (as N), BOD-5, and CCD limits are based on the
analysis of previous discharge data; maximum TSS is 1.5 times the average limit based
on BPJ. Both mass and concentration limits are imposed. Monitoring for pollutants
used to prevent corrosion is required. By amendment dated May 13, 1985, this facility
is required to be in compliance with the pH limits 99% of the time. Duplicate and
spiked samples must be run on 5% of samples or one sample per month, whichever is
greater, for monitoring quality assurance purposes. Biomonitoring requirements are
not included in the permit.

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
manufacture of nylon fibers, resins and intermediates such as adipic acid and
hexamethylene diamine; Outfall 002 (2.98 mgd max) is non-contact cooling condensate,
well water and storm water; and 003 and 004 (0.0084 mgd 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 of 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 SPCC Plan (40 CFR 112); and (3) BMP'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 immediately prior to
discharge. The basis for limitations are Escambia 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.

FL000253G: The Pensacola Naval Air Station, located in the Florida panhandle, generates a combination of domestic sewage and
ireiustrial wastes resulting frcn a wide range of aircraft and military-related activities. Domestic sewage fran 14,500
residents (1.51 ntgd in 1979) is collected in 36.6 miles of sanitary sev«r, and industrial wastes (0.75 mgd in 1979) are
collected in a separate 4.3 mile ireiustrial sewer systau, which transports wastes to the industrial waste treatment portion
of the joint municipal/industrial POTO. The discharge is to a water quality limited section of Pensacola Bay. 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 rev«rk, 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 ccmninutor, metals precipitation and clarification, after wnich 0.75 mgd of
primary treated domestic waste joins the industrial waste flow for activated sludge treatment foe phenol oxidation. The
effluent from the "phenol aeration pond" is returned to the domestic activated sludge aeration basins for further joint
treatrent, 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 mjd to 4.0 irgd. Despite the increase in
capacity, the basis for the current mass limits for BOO and TSS are the secondary treatment standards (30/45 mg/1) based on
the original flow of 2.95 mgd and the previous permit limits. The basis for the numerous other toxic and nonconventional
pol lutant limits is water qual ity criteria and considerations taken frcm the EPA Red Book and Blue Book and appl ied as end-
of-pipe concentrations with equivalent mass limits. There are an unspecified number of the industrial operations listed
above which discharge directly. General concentration limits for those activities are also in the permit and typical limits
ate as follows: O&G at 10/15 mg/1; BOD i TSS at 25 to 50 mg/1; metals at 0.5/1.0 mg/1; phenol at 1.0/2.0 mg/1; chlorine
residual at 0.2 mg/1 (max.); and Temperature at 95/lO0°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% ranoval of BOO and
TSS at the treatment plant. The schedule of canpliance 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.

the East Branch of Cedar River consists of spent hydrochloric acid pickle liquor,
hydrochloric acid rinse water, lime rinse water, well water, drawing machine cooling
water, and fume scrubber wastewater (50,17u gpd). Treatment consists of
neutralization, settling, and filtration. The TSS limitation is based on BCT effluent
guidelines, and the remaining limitations and conditions are Florida State
Certification Requirements, which are more stringent than the categorical standards.
Information supplied on the application form indicates that the facility is presently
in compliance with the state requirements, therefore they must comply with the
effluent limitations by the effective date of the permit. A BMP plan is required in
this permit.

FL0034690: Harris Corporation, Semiconductor Division in Palm Bay, Florida,
manufactures semiconductor integrated circuits where circuits are periodically
immersed in acid and solvents, and rinsed in deionized water (SIC 3674). The facility
is in the Electrical and Electronic Components Category (40 CFR 469, Subpart A). The
permit covers one outfall (Outfall 002) which consists of treated groundwater entering
a ditch to the Northwest Tributary of Turkey Creek. Wastewater from Outfall 001
consists of deionization water, plant reject and regeneration water, cooling tower
blowdown, exhaust scrubber water, and process wastewater, but by compliance schedule,
the facility must cease discharge from this outfall by the effective date of the
permit. Operational level at Outfall 002 must be attained by December 1, 1984.
Groundwater is withdrawn from a surface aquifer and is treated by air stripping then
is reinjected back to the same aquifer or is discharged to surface water during
required maintenance or emergency conditions (average flow rate: 100,000 gpd).
Effluent limitations in the permit are based on an agreement between the facility and
the Florida Department of Environmental Regulation (December 21, 1983) which calls for
withdrawal and treatment of contaminated groundwater and allows two levels of
treatment depending on place of final discharge. The treated water reinjected back to
groundv^ter has the most stringent limits; these are reflected in the permit. There
is no biomonitoring requirement in the permit, but a BMP Plan must be implemented
within eighteen months of permit issuance.

FL0037338: RCA Corporation, Solid State Division produces solid state integrated
circuits in wafer form (SIC 3674) at its facility located in Palm Beach Gardens,
Florida, and is in the Electrical and Electronic Components Category (40 CFR 469).
The facility's only discharge, Outfall 001, flows intermittently and consists of
chemical etching and cleaning process wastewater combined with reverse osmosis and
deionization water. Treatment is by chemical neutralization, and settling where
approximately 0.25 mgd of the treated water is discharged to an on-site percolation
pond. Discharge occurs only during equipment breakdown or during rainfall events
where precipitation is greater than two inches per day. In these cases, overflow from
the percolation pond is to a ditch to the Earman River from Outfall 001. Since
discharge is intermittent, only maximum daily effluent limits are imposed. The limit
on TSS is based on regional standards for potable water treatment plants and the total
phosphorus limit is a State requirement applied to discharges which contain brine
reject water from reverse osmosis units. The effluent limitation for total toxic
organics is based on BAT guidelines in the Semiconductor Subcategory. In lieu of
monitoring for TK), the facility can certify compliance with a solvent management plan
submitted to EPA. Fluoride and pH limits are based on water quality standards. There
is no biomonitoring requirement in the permit, but a BMP Plan must be developed within
six months of the effective date of the permit and be implemented within eighteen
months of permit issuance.

FL0037869: The St. Johns River Pov^r Plant (SJRPP) is a new 1,200 megawatt coal-fired powjr plant in the Steam Electric
Power Generation Category (40 CFR 423) under construction with a scheduled completion date of Apr i1 1987. The plant is
located on a 1,656 acre site northeast of Jacksonville, Florida, adjacent to the existing Northside 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 camion effluent channel which discharges to the
estuarine portion of the St. Johns River. From the SJRPP site, Ojtfalls 001, 003 (during operation), 005, 006, 007 & 008
discharge to the river, but Outfalls 002, 003 (during construction), 004 i 009 discharge to Browns Creek, a freshwater
tributary. Generally, the New Source Performance Standards for this category were used to set limits for Outfalls 005, 006,
007 i 008 (43 CFR 423.15) and for OutfaLl 004 i 309 (40 CFR 423.45, Area Runoff), tut water quality criteria and dilution in
a 17 acre mixing zone are used to set limits for chlorine and tenperature at Outfall 001. Wastewater sources, treatment, and
rationale for each Outfall follow. Outfal 1 001 - cotrbined flow (36.2 mgd) of normal plant operating wastes and waste heat
discharge (003, 005, 006, 007 t 008) that is limited by water quality criteria for temperature, the 96-hr LC50 value for Blue
Crab of 0.10 mg/1 for TRO (Total Residual Oxidants—the salt water equivalent to total residual chlorine, resulting from the
rapid oxidation of iodine, branine and other chemicals by chlorine as it is converted to chloride, and the 96-hr LC50 value
for Caoite 11 a capitata, a pol>chaete worm, of 0.18 mg/1 for copper. Temperature cannot exceed 105 F in the mixing zone as a
result of the combined discharge frcm both power plants, with the maximum temperature set at 96 F at Outfall 001 for SJRPP.
Outfal 1 002 - 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 04G, 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 irg/l 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 mgd) receiving
flow frcm 004, 007 & 008 and providing treatment consisting of equalization, chemical addition, clarification, filtration,
and final neutralization; concentration and mass limits are set by promulgated 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 frcm 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 blovdown is not regulated
since It is used as make-up for the flue gas desulfurization syston. 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 requiranents, such as buffer zones around vetlands. The permit
does not require a formal BMP plan, although runoff will be contained and treated. The permit does contain a special

HI0000019: Hawaiian Electric Company, Kahe Generating Station, located in Ewa, Oahu,
Hawaii, is a manufacturer of electricity by steam driven generators (SIC 4911) and has
a single discharge, Outfall 001, which enters the Pacific Ocean at a depth of twenty
feet. The facility is in the Steam Electric Power Generating Category (40 CFR 423)
and all effluent limitations at the facility are based on BFT/BAT guidelines. The
permit was modified to include limits on free available and total residual chlorine
due to the addition of a chlorine dioxide treatment system. At this time, a pH limit
on cooling water was dropped because the limit was not required by the effluent
guidelines. The facility has one outfall, but three sampling locations: low volume
wastes - upstream prior to combining with condenser cooling water (0.135 mgd average
flow); metal cleaning water - upstream prior to combining with condenser cooling water
(0.180 mgd average); and condenser cooling water - Outfall 001 (775 mgd average).
Treatment of the metal cleaning water and low volume waste is by chemical
precipitation and neutralization. There is no requirement for biomonitoring or a BMP
Plan included in the permit. The facility must apply to the State of Hawaii for a
zone of mixing which must be granted and effective no later than May 1, 1985.

HI0021059: Marine Culture Enterprises operates a marine shrimp farm (SIC 921) in
Kahuku, Oahu, which consists of enclosed raceways, broodstock ponds, and larval
rearing areas. Approximately 1.3xlQE6 lb/year of shrimp are currently being produced
for commercial sale, and are fed 1.0xlQE6 lb/month of food. This is based on the two
hectares of raceways currently being used which generates 15 mgd of aquaculture
process wastewater. If social, economic and environmental concerns are favorable,
expansion of up to six hectares of raceways would be covered by this permit. It is
estimated that six hectares of raceways would generate approximately 34 mgd of
aquaculture process wastewater which would enter the Pacific Ocean. Treatment of the
wastewater is not specified. The facility is in the Fish Hatcheries and Farm
Category. The permit limitations are based on water quality standards. The facility
has, however, requested a modification to increase the present discharge concentration
limits. Interim limits have been proposed based on BPJ beginning the effective date
of the permit modification and lasting through 1/31/88. During the interim period,
additional water quality data will be collected to evaluate potential impacts on the
ocean; final limits will then be established, lasting from 2/1/88 through 10/31/89.
By 4/30/89, the facility is to apply to the State of Hawaii for a zone of mixing and
ensure that it is granted and effective not later than 11/1/89. The permit includes a
standard reopener clause for toxic pollutants.

IAO00O191: Chemolex Ccroany. Clinton, Iowa, (E. central area of state on the Mississippi River) is in the
Organic Chemicals Category (40 CFR 414) and the plastics t Synthetics Category (40 CFR 416) (SIC 2821 and 2869) and produces
about 2.5 million pounds of ethylene and prop'/1 ene and about 1 million pounds each o'. high (HDPE) and low density (LDPE)
polyethylene per day on an 800 acre site. Process wastewater (2.1 ngd at 001) from the ethylene and polyethylene plants,
cooling tower blovdown 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 t 003 drain the polyethylene areas and are equipped with pel let traps, and Outfalls 004 and 005
drain the ethylene, utility and storage tank areas and pass through settling porris. Discharges are to the Mississippi River.
Effluent limitations for process wastes were derived using BPJ, revoked effluent guide1ines and self-monitoring data. The
present treatment system achieves better effluent quality than the model BPT guidelines. Final permit limits for BOO and TSS
were established at 22/36 mg/1 based on 2.1 mgd flow. Oil and Grease limits wsre based on 10 mg/1. A variability factor of
2 was used for all conventional pollutants. Average daily limits on COO and phenols were 147 mg/1 and 0.07 mg/1,
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 for toxic pollutants was adopted. Monthly monitoring for 6 months on
selected priority pollutants (fluorene, PNA's and copper) is required as vrell as a complete priority pollutant analysis by
GC/MS within 3rronthsof permit effective date. Monitoring data could result in permit modification including revised
effluent limits or increased wastewater treatment. An interim limit of 0.1 mg/1 on benzene (final limit of 0.05 mg/1) was
established to serve as an Indicator for toluene xylene and other organics in debutanized aromatic 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 plan is
required to be prepared within six months and implemented within twelve months of permit effective date. Site-specific P-KPs
address wastewater treatment sludges, polishing pond dredgings and chrome treatment sludges. The land farm areas, surface
runoff and druns containing hazardous substances also are subject to BMP requirements.

IA000O205: 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 organo-nitrogen agricultural herbicides (SIC 2879), chemical intermediates (SIC 2869), and ABS plastic
(Acrylonitri le, Butadiene, Styrene) (SIC 2821). Production of registered herbicides as well as other production figures is
proprietary. Amrbnium chloFide is produced as a byproduct. Process wastewater from agricultural chenicals production (0.75
mgd) is treated in the "AC" wastewater treatment plant consisting of neutralization, sedimentation, equalization, activated
sludge, arid sedimentation. Process wastewater from ABS production (0.4 mjd) is treated in the "ABS" wastewater treatment
plant consisting of screening, sedimentation, neutralization/chen ical precipitation, flocculation, dissolved air flotation,
activated sludge, and sedimentation. Treated and dewatered sludge from both treatment plants is landf 11 led. Non process
water and cooling water (7.9 mgd) are conbined with the effluent from both treatment plants before discharge at Outfall 001
(9.15 mgd total) to the Mississippi River. A BAT/BCT permit was originally drafted in 1981 by EPA's NEIC based largely on
production figures, guidance fcan EPA's Effluent Guidelines Division, end 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 BOO, COO, amnonia arri TSS for
intermediate processes, (4) priority pollutant sampling for the lifetime of the permit, and (5) imposing BAT requirements
based on BPJ prior to promulgation of final BAT guidelines. As the conpany 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 negotiations on the five issues with the company. The issues were resolved as follows: (1)
Monsanto was to maintain their 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. Ttie limits for amnonia originally proposed by
NEIC here maintained in the present permit. Bloassays 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.

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
airmunition. Most outfalls are discharges of contaminated wastewater resulting from
explosives loading operations. Treatment of these discharges includes collection
sunos, settling tanks, diatomaceous earth filters, and activated carbon filters. This
treabnent is considered BAT even though there are no BAT regulations for the
explosives category. Metal cleaning operations also have waste treatment consisting
of neutralization, chemical addition and precipitation with lime, alum and polymer.
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

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. Treabnent of these discharges includes collection
sumps, settling tanks, diatomaceous earth filters, and activated carbon filters. This
treatment is considered BAT even though there are no BAT regulations for the
explosives category. Metal cleaning operations also have waste treatment consisting
of neutralization, chemical addition and precipitation with lime, alum and polymer.
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 chariber 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 Developnent
Document, and state water quality standards. The schedule of compliance calls for a
BMP Plan in six months and a treatment systen for coal pile run-off by 9-1-84.

ID0000809: Idaho Fish and Game-Haaerman Hatchery of Hagerman, Idaho, is in the
Fish Hatcheries and Farms Category. Large numbers of rainbow trout (270 tons per
year) are raised for distribution to other stations for planting in the Twin Falls and
Magic Valley areas (SIC 921). The facility raises smaller numbers of Fall Chinook
Salmon (10 tons/year), Coho Salmon (5 tons/year), and Brown Trout (2.5 tons/year).
The fish are fed 155,000 pounds of food during March, the maximum calendar month of
feeding. The hatchery consists of 42 raceways and 28 vats (to start "fry" on feed),
cleaned daily by brushing, and discharges are from a single outfall (86 mgd daily
maximum flow) to Riley Creek. Hatchery wastewaters are routed to a pollution control
pond where slow-down devices installed in the pond increase settling. Total solid
wastes accumulate in the pond, and are dredged for farm land application when
necessary. Permit limitations are based on EPJ for a BCT level of treatment
consisting of vacuum or sandpipe drain cleaning of screened raceways, with off-line
settling of the cleaning waste or a flow-through settling system. At this hatchery,
the latter, BCT is in use. The limits are statistically derived from 1983/84 study
results of Idaho hatcheries. The permit requires the facility to report drugs and
chemicals applied in the raceways, and prohibits the discharge of accumulated solids
to Riley Creek. A BMP plan was to be submitted by November 29, 1984.

ID0000892: Clear Springs Trout Co. - Crystal Springs Hatrhpry is located in Gooding
County, Idaho, and is in the Fish Hatcheries and Farms Category. Production is
reported as 4,000,000 lb/year of rainbow trout (SIC 921) in the facility's 1982 permit
application. During January, the calendar month of maximum feeding, the fish are fed
921,000 pounds of food. Hie hatchery consists of 96 raceways and 12 tanks; and is
divided into two halves by a hatch house; each side has four blocks of ponds. All
ponds are cleaned daily with a trash pump at a rate of approximately one pond per
hour. Solids are pumped from the pond being cleaned via a P\£ pipe to one of two
settling ponds. Hatchery discharges enter rryatsi Springs from an unspecified number
of outfalls. Limitations are based on a EPJ determination of a BCT level of treatment
consisting of vacuum or sandpipe drain cleaning of screened raceways, with off-line
settling of the cleaning waste. The limits are calculated using data from 1983/84
study results of Idaho hatcheries. Excessive buildup of solids in the raceways and/or
ponds is prohibited. If the projected annual production rate is less than 5,000
pounds of food during the calendar month of maximum feeding, the permittee is exempt
from the permit monitoring requirements. The permit was modified effective 12/9/85 to
eliminate requirements for a BMP plan; however some of the operating procedures
addressed by the plan are incorporated in the revised permit.

settling of the cleaning waste. The limits are calculated using data from 1983/84
study results of Idaho hatcheries. Excessive buildup of solids in the raceways and/or
ponds is prohibited. If the projected annual production rate is less than 5,000
pounds of food during the calendar month of maximum feeding, the permittee is exempt
from the permit monitoring requirements. The permit was modified effective 12/9/85 to
eliminate requirements for a BMP plan; however some of the operating procedures
addressed by the plan are incorporated in the revised permit.

3D0025259: Noranda Mining. Inc. - Blackbird Mine is located near Cobalt, Idaho. The
facility is in the Ore Mining and Dressing Category (40 CFR 440), and was previously
engaged in the exploratory mining and recovery of cobalt and copper ores (SIC 1061,
1021) using a froth flotation method. Recently all activities at the mine have been
suspended and it has been placed on a "care and maintenance" status. The mine shaft
has been sealed with a concrete bulkhead to reduce drainage. Drainage will be stored
except for two brief (1-2 week) periods each year when accumulated waters will be
treated with chemical precipitation and neutralization in a wastewater treatment
facility and discharged from Outfall 001. In addition to mine drainage, there are
four other potential discharges. Outfalls 002a, 002b, and 003 consist of sanitary
wastewaters treated with rotating biological contractors. Outfall 004 is from a
sedimentation pond designed to contain 50,000 cubic feet of mine and mill site runoff.
If, as a result of precipitation or snowmelt, the pond overflows, the facility may
discharge through 004 without meeting any specific permit limitations as long as
(1) the pond is maintained to hold the maximum volume of water resulting from a 10 year,
24 hair storffi event; (2) overflow is minimized; (3) notification requirements are met;
and (4) the effluent flow is reported as gpd. Outfall 003 discharges to Panther
Creek, and the remaining outfalls discharge to Blackbird Creek. Because cobalt ores
are recovered as a byproduct of copper ores, Outfall 001 limitations are based on
BPT/BAT guidelines for Subpart J, Copper, Lead, Zinc, Gold, Silver, and Molybdenum
Ores Subcategory (40 CFR 440.102, 440.13). Limitations for 002a, 002b, and 003 are
based on State water quality standards. Due to the shutdown of the mine, monitoring
requirements have been reduced. The facility plans to eventually place the mine in
operation to produce approximately 500 tpd of ores after reviewing methods and
possibilities to utilize the Blackbird resources. Biomonitoring requirements are not
included in the permit.

IL.0000329: Granite City Steel - Division of National Steel Corporation, located in
Granite City, Illinois, is in the Iron and Steel Manufacturing Category (40 CFR 420)
and manufactures 7,705,000 lbs of rolled steel per day (SIC 3312). Plant operations
result in an average discharge of 25 mgd of treated process water frcm Outfall 001 to
Horseshoe Lake. Primary treatiient 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 pH
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 OulA and 001 are effective 7/1/84 and are based on Illinois Pollution
Control Board Rules, or effluent guidelines, whichever is more stringent. Internal
monitoring at 001A 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.

IL0002453: Stepan Company is located in Elwood, Illinois, and its products include
phthalic anhydride, surfactants, enrulsifiers, methyl and isopropyl esters,
alkylamides, urethane foams, and both drum dried and liquid detergents (SIC 2843,
2869, 2865, 2821). The facility is in the Soap and Detergent Manufacturing Category
(40 CFR 417). An average of 0.888 mgd of process wastewater, runoff from the process
areas, and sanitary wastewater are treated with aeration followed by clarification and
anthracite filters before being discharged to the Pes Plaines River at Oitfall 001.
Sludge, after aerobic digestion, is placed in a sludge lagoon before land disposal.
Mass limitations for TSS arid oil and grease are based on effluent guidelines
(Subparts I, J, N, 0, P, R) for the soap and detergents industry; additional State
Standards are used for processes not covered by effluent guidelines, using maximum and
average flows of 1.172 and 0.888 mgd respectively. Concentration limitations and pH,
however, are based solely on State Standards which, in this case, are more stringent
than applicable guidelines. The permit includes both mass and concentration limits.
The facility has had a history of noncompliance - TSS and fecal coliform are the
parameters most frequently above the limits. A major contributor to noncompliance has
been reported as a delayed response time to accelerated nitrification caused by rises
in the ambient water temperature. A biomonitoring plan was to be submitted by
10/28/85 to include (1) acute toxicity testing on at least three trophic levels of
aquatic species (fish, invertebrate, plant) with the recommended species being fathead
minnows, Daphnia magna, and duckweed and (2) Ames Assay which is biomonitoring to
assess human health effects. A BMP plan is not required.

IL0002691: United States Steel - South Works, located in Chicago, Illinois, produces
metallic iron, liquid steel, billets, slabs, steel rods, plates and structural shapes
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 systan; and Cutfall 008 - 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 quality considerations. 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 BP J. 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 006 for 13
base/neutral toxics and arrmonia 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.

IL0002861: Mobil Oii Corporation, located in Joliet, Illinois, operates a petroleum
refinery (SIC 2911) with a reported production of approximately 200,000 barrels of
crude oil per stream day. The facility is in the Petroleum Refining Category (40 CFR
419, Subpart B). Plant operation results in discharges to the Pes Plaines River
consisting of 3.6 mgd of treated process, sanitary, and stormwater from Outfall 001,
5.6 mgd of noncontact cooling water from Outfall 002, and 3.2 mgd of uncontaminated
stormwater from Qjtfall 003. Treatment of process water consists of an API Separator,
flocculation, neutralization, dissolved air flotation, activated sludge, coagulation,
and sedimentation. Sludges are heat treated and disposed of via land application and
landfil 1. Sanitary wastes receive activated sludge and disinfection. Stormwater
receives sedimentation before discharge to Outfall 003. The basis for the mass and
concentration permit limts for Outfall 001 is as follows: water quality standards -
monthly average limits for phenols, cyanide, BOD, TSS, oil and grease, and pH;
Illinois Pollution Control Board issued variance (304.122) - ammonia; BPT and BAT
effluent guidelines - the remaining parameters. The limitations at Outfalls 002 and
003 are based on EPA regional guidance and water quality standards. A priority
pollutant monitoring program for 12 polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons, benzene,
toluene, and ethyl benzene is also a condition of the permit.

IL00Q3933: 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 413) and produces nitrogenous fertilizers (SIC 2873), including annonia (Part
418.22), urea (Part 418.3<3), airrnoniaiT> nitrate (Part 418.40), and nitric acid (Part
418.50). Treated process waste (0.39 mgd avg. & 0.76 mgd max.) is discharged to the
Mississippi River through Outfall 031 and consists of cooling tower, boiler &
compressor blowdown, softener regenerant, water plant backwash, and surface runoff.
All process wastes ate treated in a lagoon, but first cooli'ig tower blowdown receives
chromium reduction with S02, and the pH of the waste streams is adjusted with lime
sludge from the water treatment plant. The basis for arrmonia nitrogen mass limitations
is water quality criteria using ORSAriCO's Ohio River Water Quality Standard of 0.05
mg/1 (NH3, unionized) in the receiving stream. The ORSANCO standard was used since the
Mississippi River already exceeds EPA's Red Book standard of 0.02 rttj/1 (NH-3,
unionized) and the .State standard of 1.5 mg/1 (NH3-N) would allow a discharge having a
concentration of 5,800 mg/1 (NH3-N), which is unacceptable. Using the ORSANCO
standard and river conditions of pH = 8.4, Tenperature = 23.6°C, a flow of 13,477 cfs,
and a mixing zone equal to 25% of the river flow, the water quality standard is
maintained with a maximum mass discharge of 293 kg./d. The basis of other limits is
not given; however, the state considered all limits to be equivalent to 3CT/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.

IN0001104: Dow Chemical Company has a facility located in Indianapolis, Indiana,
which conducts research and development of human pharmaceutical products (SIC 2831).
Activities include animal testing, biological fermentation, and chemical compounding.
The facility is in the Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Category (40 CFR 439). Waste
chemicals, liquids, and solids which are generated at the facility are collected and
incinerated, so the majority of the wastewater treated is sanitary waste and cooling
tower blowdown, thus the pharmaceutical guidelines were not used in deriving effluent
limitations. There are two discharges from the facility to Cotton Creek. Outfall 002
consists of 0.079 mgd backwash for water softeners, boiler blowdown, washwater, and
contact coolant for hot exhaust gases from incineration. Treatment consists of
activated sludge treatment with phosphorus removal and chlorination. Outfall 003
consists of stormwater and noncontact cooling water. The cooling water is frequently
treated in the wastewater treatment plant and discharged from Outfall 002; when the
treatment system is bypassed the cooling water and stormwater are discharged,
untreated, from Outfall 003. Effluent limits at the facility are based on water
quality standards. There is no BMP Plan or biomonitoring requirement included in the
permit.

IN0OO1350: 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 fron Wasteoaper) 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 stream flow in the Big Blue River (Q7_^g = 24
cfs) to assure a minimun dilution ratio of 100:1. Treatment consists of four lagoons
in series. Outfall 002 is non-contact cooling water (0.6 mgd) requiring no treatment.
The basis for maximum 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 limits 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 from the
fourth lagoon through the existing 12-inch pipe can be supplemented by tsnporary
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
compliance.

INS0C1929: Dana Corporation, Perfect Circle Division of Hayerstown, 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 031, "Chrar.e
Plate Discharge" (0.777 mgd max.) is treated by recycling where possible, unusable
wastes are concentrated by evaporation and contractor hauled—the effluent includes
200 gpd of storm water. Outfall 002, "Boiler Room Discharge" (0.138 mgd max.), is
punoed to a holding tank for oil skimming and includes 1,000 gpd of storm water.
Outfall 303, "Machining Discharge" (0.108 mgd max.) is collected in an oil tank for
grease removal and diluted with 7,000 gpd of storm water prior to discharge. The
outfalls discharge into Nettle Creek and then to the Whitewater Canal, both
tributaries to the Whitewater River which has a Q7_ig of 2.3 cfs (1.5 mgd) upstrean of
the plant's discharge. The basis for BAT limitations is water quality standards and
BPJ. 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
chromium 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/1, will be
monitored monthly for six months and then reviewed. Outfall 002 limitations are
unchanged from the expired permit. Outfall 003 limitations for flow, TSS, oil and
grease, temperature, and pH are the same as the expired permit, but monthly monitoring
requirements were added for total chromium, hexavalent chromium, methylene chloride
and TCE.

IN0002666: Moser Leather Company, Inc., in New Albany, Indiana, operates a cow and
steer hide tannery in the Leather Tanning and Finishing Category (40 CFR 425). Both
vegetable and chrome tanning are employed and the finished leather is sold for
processing into saddle and bridle leather, belts, and industrial oil seals (SIC 3111).
Wastewater from the beamhouse, vegetable and chrome tanning lines, boiler blowdown,
and sanitary wastewater is treated by screening, neutralization, and in
aerated lagoons before discharge from Outfall 001 at an average rate of 0.13 mgd (0.31
mgd maximum). Sludge is treated in sludge lagoons. Production at the facility is
reported as follows: 7,360 pounds per day from chrome tanning applicable to the Hair
Save, Chrome Tan, and Retan-Wet Finish Subcategory (Subpart B); and 11,040 pounds per
day from vegetable tanning applicable to the Hair Save or Pulp, Non-Chrome Tan, Retan-
Wet Finish Subcategory (Subpart C). Effluent limitations on BOD, TSS, oil and grease,
and chromium are based on BPT/BAT effluent guidelines but limits vary slightly (by
less than one"pound per-day) based on a settlement agreement between EPA and the
Tanners' Council of America. Discharge from the facility is to Silver Creek until
December 31, 1985 at which time the discharge point must be moved to the Ohio River.
Until that time, a maximum daily limit on total chromium of 1.24 mg/1 is in effect
based on water quality standards which is more stringent than the BAT limitation for
discharge of this pollutant to the Ohio River. Limits on fecal coliform are based on
the ORSANCO disinfection requirement for sanitary wastewater. The permittee was
required to raise the height of all dikes surrounding the waste stabilization lagoons
to minimize flooding. Biomonitoring requirements are not included in the permit.

1NOO02861: The Eli Lilly and Company's Tippecanoe U>bs in Lafayette, IN, (N.w. quadrant of state! is in the
Pharmaceutical Manufacturinq Category (Fermentation Products Subcategory, 40 CFR 439.10 Subpart A, and Chemical Synthesis
Products Suucat<>jory, 40 CFH 439.30 Suopart C) and the Pesticides Manufacturino Cateiory (Halogenated Organic Pesticides, 40
CFR 455.10 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 (336,300 lb/d). The total plant
discharge of 10.1 mgd is regulated at (XJtfall 001, where it enters the Wabash River. The discharge consists of treated
process waste (7.86 mgd), non-contact cooling water (1.95 mgd), boiler feed water (.245 mgd) and sanitary waste (.043 n^d).
Wastewater treatment consists of equalization, clarification, activated sludge, neutralization, anj aerated lagoons. Sludge
is thickened arri contrifuged. Sanitary wastes are treated separately and ate regulated for Fecal Colifor.ti at internal
Outfall 101. Solvents and other oryanic compounds are recycled and high COO wastes are incinerated. Certain waste streams
receive carbon adsorption treatment, and are regulated for nitrosamines at internal Outfall 607. Ttie basis for DPT
limitations is the Effluiht Guidelines for those Pharmaceuticals arri Pesticides subcategories mentioned above. Incremental
mass limits for increases in BCO-5 and COO as a result of increased pharmaceutical and pesticide production were calculated
from the guidelines and added to the previous average permit limits (BCO-5 - 2,540 kg/d; COO - 11,340 kg/d) to arrive at
post-expansion limits. The previous limits for BCO-5 and 000 are less than one-half of the limits that would be allowed
under the guidelines. Allowances for BCD & CCD 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 BCO-5 or COD, BPJ was used to provide TSS limits which are the sum
of the pre-expansion TSS values (2,087/4,604 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 BCO-5 numbers for
pharmaceuticals. Maximum values generally are set at 2x average values for BOO-5, COO, and TSS. BPJ also was used to leave
limits for the following pollutants set at previous levels: NHj, O&G, Hg, Total Cr, phenols, nitrosamines. Water quality
considerations were used to set total cyanide limits, and pesticide guidelines vrere used to set limits for Trifluralin
(.0018/.01O lb per 1000 lb production). Other requirements in the permit include initiating flow-through biamonitoting
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 stu3y 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_^g of zero cfs. Process wastewater treabTient 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 POTO 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/1 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

IN0025097: Economy Plating Co., Inc. of Zionsville, IN (N.W. of Indianapolis) is an
electroplater of electronic parts (SIC 3471, plating & Polishing) and is in the
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 (43 CFR 413.20, Subpart B, Precious Metals Electroplating).
Treated process wastewater, consisting of 500 gpd of cleaning wastes and 1,003 gpd of
plating wastes, is discharged at Outfall 001 to a railroad ditch and then to Eagle
Creek (Qy_,g=3cfs). Treatment consists of cyanide oxidation with chlorine gas,
neutralizauon, 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 permittee was
not meeting proposed limits in 1981.

IN0049743: Tri-City Platers, Inc. of Walton, Indiana, (N. central area of state,
north of Kokomo) is a job shop in the Electroplating Category (43 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 all
limits is concentration, but equivalent mass limits at a flow of 0.024 mgd are imposed
as well. A guidelines reopener clause is included in the permit.

IN0049751: The Westville Oil & Manufacturing Co. of Westville, Indiana (N.W. corner of
state, between Gary and South Bend) is in the Petroleum Refining Category (40 CFR 419)
and re-refines 53,000 barrels/day of waste oil (SIC 2911) from throughout the Midvest
to produce motor oils, base oil stocks, hydraulic fluids, etc. The plant discharges
50,000 gpd of wastewater to the Crumpacker Ditch following treatment consisting of API
Separator, neutralization, coagulation and flocculation followed by dissolved air
flotation, activated sludge, sedimentation, and micro-straining. Sludge is heat dried
and belt filtered. The basis for BAT limitations is water quality criteria and
achievable levels of the new treatment plant. There are no effluent guidelines for
waste oil re-refiners and the application of proposed guidelines for the Topping
Subcategory, the nearest equivalent, produces maximum effluent limitations based on
production that are substantially in excess of levels required to maintain stream
quality. Total PCB's are limited at 1.0 ugA (near the limit of detectability) as
the presence of PCB's has been documented on-site and because of the likely
contamination of waste oil. A BMP plan is required to upgrade internal operation of
the plant in which process water runs overground to a lagoon that has overflown,
causing oil contamination.

IN0053171: Uuemetco, Incorporated., operates a secondary lead smelter (SIC 5341) at
its facility in Indianapolis, Indiana. Used automotive batteries are cracked and
waste lead residues, battery storage plates, and other scrap solids are smelted and
refined to reproduce lead and lead alloys. Operations are covered under the
N'onferrous Metals Category (40 CFR 421). The discharye to Julia Creek contains only
roof and plant area stormwater runoff. Treatment includes an area perimeter concrete
lined collection ditch which leads to a holding tank with a clarifier. Two scrap iron
piles are placed in the ditch prior to the holding tank to serve as filtering devices.
A special condition of the permit requires construction of stormwater collection
facilities able to contain the 10-year, 24-hour rainfall event (required volume of
800,000 gallons). The impounded storm runoff may be discharged in accordance with the
concentration based limitations. Stormwater in excess of this rainfall event may be
discharged without limitations. Effluent limitations are based on water quality
standards except for arsenic which is a BPJ determination of BAT. A BMP Plan is
required to reduce stormwater runoff contamination and includes confinement of all
operations, installation of air pollution control devices, proper handling of acid
wastes and neutralizing agents, and sweeping and policing of areas with lead dust
accumulation.

The daily average flow from 001 is 0.08 mgd (maximum 0.17). Process waste is treated
by cyanide destruction, chromium reduction, coagulation, sedimentation using lime, and
pH adjustment. The sanitary wastewater is treated in a stabilization lagoon and the
two kinds of wastes combine and enter a second lagoon system before discharge. All
effluent limitations in the permit are based on water quality standards since at the
time of permit development, no final effluent guidelines had been promulgated for this
category. These water quality limits are expressed as concentration limits and
equivalent mass limits in the permit are based on a flow rate of 0.428 mgd. (2.5 x
maximum daily flow). A BMP Plan and biomonitoring requirements are not included in
the permit.

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 facilities: 1) Hydrofluoric Acid Kiln Residue
Treatment facility - 1st and 2nd stage pH 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 adjustment; 3)
Isotron Waste Acid Neutralization System - hydrochloric acid (produced here as a
byproduct), if not sold, is pumped frcm 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 lb/day daily average and 625 lb/day daily maximum each)
plus the BAT limitation at Outfall 001A. 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
backsliding. A schedule of compliance calls for attainment of operational levels by
July 1, 1984. A BMP plan is required to be implemented within six months.

Louisiana, (85 miles N.W. of New Orleans, on Mississippi River) manufactures butadiene
(SIC 2869/production 438,090 Id/a) and crunb rubber (SIC 2822/production 1,315,000
lb/d). The facility is in the Organic Chemicals Manufacturing (40 CFR 414) and Rubber
Processing Categories (40 CFR 42-J). The plant has 17 outfalls, but most of them are
for scorm water or noncontact cooling water rather than process wastewater: 031—
treated process wastewater, storm water, and domestic sewage (3.17 mgd); 004—power
house domestic sewage (5 gpd); 005—power plant blowdown (0.283 mgd); 036, 007, 011,
012, 015-020—storm water (0.407 mgd total); and 008, 010, 014, 021—storm water,
steam condensate, and/or untreated cooling water (>0.686 mgd total). All discharges
ace to Monte Sono Bayou, a tributary of the Mississippi River, and no treatment is
defined in either the permit or the fact sheet/rationale. Concentration limits for
COD and O&G in storm water are based on the previous permit limits and on EPA Regional
policy (BPJ). Mass limits for Outfall 034 (BOD-5, TSS, and pH) and concentration
limits for Outfall 005 (TSS, O&G, Cu, and pH) are based on previously negotiated (BPJ)
limits. The limits for Outfall 001 have the following basis: pH is based on
guidelines; copper (mass) and tenperature limitations are based on previously
negotiated limits and water quality; BOD-5, COD, and TSS mass limits are set equal to
the sum of separate BCT/BAT calculations for emulsion crumb rubber and BAT
calculations for butadiene; the previous permit mass limits are used for O&G to avoid
backsliding because the sum of guidelines method gave a less stringent limit. A
compliance schedule is included which calls for attainnent of operational levels by
6/30/84. A toxics reopener clause is included, but no BMP plan is required.

Department, in Burnside, Louisiana, is in the Inorganic Chemicals Category (40 CFR
415) and manufactures sulfuric acid (Reserved Subpart U) by burning sulfur and sludge
acid processes (SIC 2819). Outfall 001 is a total combined outfall discharging 43.3
mgd to the Mississippi River and consisting of settling pond discharge (internal
Outfal 1 002), clarifier underflow (internal Outfall 003), and non-contact cooling
water. Outfall 001 is made up of approximately 99% once through cooling 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 mgd. Reporting requirements only at Outfall
001 are a result of the large dilution of process water. Concentration based
limitations are imposed for metals at Outfall 002 due to their presence in the
wastestreams. Chromium limits are based on technologically achievable levels of
chromium removal and are equivalent to BPT. Concentration limits for TOC and oil and
grease at Outfall 004 are based on water quality and EPA Regional policy. A schedule
of compliance calls for attainment of operational levels by June 30, 1983.

LA0003115: Gulf Oi 1 Company's Alliance Refinery, located in Belle Chasse, Louisiana,
operates a petroleum refinery producing over 50,000 barrels/day crude oil (SIC 2911).
They are in the Petroleum Refining Category (40 CFR 419) and discharge from one
outfall directly to the Mississippi River. However, effluent limitations are
regulated at four internal outfalIs due to the large dilution at the point of
discharge. Outfall 201 consists of 28.3 mgd once-through noncontact cooling water.
The net TOC 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 101 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
Quality Management Plan for the Mississippi River. Outfall 001 consists of the total
combined refinery effluent (32.9 mgd frcm 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.

guidelines categories: Organic Chemicals Manufacturing (40 CFR 414), inorganic Chemicals Manufacturing (40
CFR 415), ard pesticictes Cterucals Manufacturing (40 CFR 455). There are two cutfalls that discharge directly
to the Gulf mterooastal V6ter*ay and three internal mcnitaring points. Final Outfall 001 consists of
effluent from the salt production plant, the chemical plant, cooling water and uncontamirated stomwater (14
mgd). internal mcnitoring points were established due to the 97% dilution by cooling vater, and include:
Outfall 201 - process, utility and barometric oondenser water frcm the salt plant; Outfall 105 - treated
process vasteveter fran the chanical plant; and outfall 205 - nonoontact once-through cooling vater from the
chemical plant. Final Outfall 002 consists of uncontaminatsd storm runoff frcm a ncnhazardcus industrial
solid vaste landfill, limited by Regicn vi/lctiR stormvater requirements. Activated sludge treatment is
performed on the E30 production vastevater before discharge to CUtfall 105 and the vestevaters frcm
hydrochloric acid and scdiun sulfate production are neutralized prior to discharge. A six acre settling pcnd
receives all vastewater before discharge to Outfall 001. The BYT equivalent permit is based cn EPJ due to the
absence of pranulgated guidelines for all production at this facilty. At Outfall 001, net zinc is limited at
the technological abatement level ard TSS is based cn statistical analysis of DMRdata. outfall 105
limitations are based on ST and proposed EKT guidelines for pesticides manufacturing for Subpart D
(tebutheuron) and rf.t (E30). permit limits are based on a tebutheuron production of 10,000 lbs/d. TSS limits
less stringent than guidelines are based on analyses of EMRs. Biomcnitoring is required at Outfall 105 and
should consist of the 24 hr static method performed once per quarter for two years.

B), and operates a crude oil refinery (SIC 2911). The facility's maximum 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 wel 1 and 83% which is treated in the treatment system); Outfall
003, the wharf scrubber discharge, consists of once-through cooling water used to
scrub S02 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 Mississippi 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 TOC limit at Outfall 004 is based on the previous permit and on
effluent guidelines. 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 remain in effect. Biomonitoring of the treated effluent at Outfall
002 is required to measure effluent toxicity. The static .24 hour bioassay will be

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 company meets the BAT
limitations with the currently installed technology. Effluent limits on TOC and oil
and grease at Outfalls 301 and 002 are traditional technology based limitations.
Additional concentration based limits on benzene, ethylbenzene, and toluene are
established to ensure adequate treatment of potential stormwater contamination.
Toxicity testing (biomonitoring) requirements are established at a frequency of once
per quarter for two years on the effluent from Outfalls 201, 301, and 002; however, no

LAQ003905: Louisiana Chemical Polymers, Inc., located in Baton Rouge, Louisiana,
manufactures ABS plastic from the three monomers acrylonitrile, butadiene and styrene,
and SBR latex rubber from the two monomers butadiene and styrene (SIC 2821, 2822).
The facility is in the Organic Chemicals and Plastics and Synthetic Fibers Category
(40 CFR 414) and the Rubber Manufacturing Category (40 CFR 428), and has two outfalls
altering Baton Rouge Harbor. Outfall 001 is process and sanitary wastewaters,
contaminated stormwater runoff, and cooling tower blowdown (1.43 mgd) treated by
flotation, settling, coagulation, activated sludge, and trickling filters. Sludge is
routed to drying beds and sludge lagoons. Outfall 002 is uncontaminated stormwater
runoff and cooling tower blowdown (0.96 mgd), mixed with 001 after monitoring.
Treatment is by flotation. Limits on BCD-5 and TSS at 001 are @BI of BPT=BCT as found
in proposed guidelines 40 CFR 416.82 (Subpart H, Acrylonitrile-Butadiene-Styrene (ABS)
and Styrene-Acrylonitrile (SAN) Resin Copolymers Subcategory) for ABS plastic and
40 CFR 428.42 (Subpart D, Latex Rubber Subcategory) for latex rubber. The rubber
contribution is based on a production rate of 32.973 m lb/y of latex rubber. The
plastic contribution is based on concentrations, and is 65% of the total 1.43 mgd
flow. Therefore a flow of 0.93 mgd is used. Chromium and cyanide limits are BPJ
using proposed BAT levels in the Development Document for Organics and Plastics
(February, 1983), and pH is a previous permit limit. Limits on 002 are from the
previous permit based on Region VI stormwater guidance. Chromium limits are
exceptions, derived from BPJ using cooling tower blowdown guidelines in 40 CFR 423.33
of Steam Electric Power Generation Category. Because process wastewater is not
currently discharged, biomonitoring is not required. The permit does not include a
BMP plan.

LA0004464: Schuylkill Metals Corp.. of East Baton Rouge Parish, Louisiana, operates a
secondary lead smelting facility (SIC 3341) in the Secondary Lead Subcategory of the
Nonferrous Metals Manufacturing Category (40 CFR 421, Subpart M). A single discharge
is to Bayou Baton Rouae at Outfall 001 consisting of process and sanitary wastewaters,
noncontact cooling water, and stormwater runoff. Flow is reported as 0.306 mgd in the
permittee's application. Outfall 001 flows through three settling/oxidation ponds
lined with impervious clay before discharge. Battery acid is neutralized in tanks
before altering the first of the three ponds, where a flocculating agent is added to
increase settling. Settled materials are removed and recycled in a blast furnace.
Mass limits for TSS are based on EPT (BPJ of BCT=EPT) and for antimony, arsenic, lead
and zinc on BAT guidelines (40 CFR 421.132 ,421.133) for battery cracking, casting
contact cooling, truck wash, employee handwash, employee respirator wash, and
laundering of uniforms processes. The production levels used are as follows: 0.390
million lb/d of lead scrap, 0.554 million lb/d of lead from smelting, 0.474 million
lb/d of lead cast. Allowances are made for two contaminated waste streams not covered
by the guidelines—stormwater runoff from the process area and groundwater leachate
from slag landfills. The additional mass loadings are based on predicted flows, and a
BPJ determination of achievable concentrations equal to those used in developing the
guidelines (final limits = guidelines calculations + additional sources limits). The
pH limit is BPJ. as are limits for oil and grease and ammonia based on achievable
concentrations of 10 mg/1 (avg.) and 20 mg/1 (max.) and flows of 0.23 mgd and 0.01 mgd
respectively. Bioassavs are required for the determination of 80% survival of
Daphnia sp. and Mysidopsis sp. in 100% effluent. Tests shall use a 24-hour static
method and be conducted quarterly for a duration of two years. If less than 80%
survival, a replacement 48-hour median LC50 test is required on the originally
collected sample. A BMP plan is not included in the permit.

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 2bl9). 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 River, as follows: Outfall 0U1
consists of process water and stormwater (0.5 mgd) after neutralization, chemical
precipitation, coagulation, gravity thickening and vacuum filtration; and Outfall U02
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 permit limitations are based on BP J in the absence of promulgated
guidelines for Subpart U. TSS is regulated at the previous permit level which is
equivalent to BPT. 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 BPT. 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 I£50, if
appropriate. Compliance with the effluent limitations is required by the effective
date of the permit.

specialty chemicals such as anhydrous armcrua, diamrrmium phosphate, glyphcsate, APAP, ciclchexanol, and other
organic chemicals (SIC 2873, 2874, 2869, and 2879). These operations are covered under the organic Chemicals
Category (40 CFR 414) and the Fertilizer manufacturing Category (40 CFR 418). The company currently injects
wastes from several organic units into a subsurface aquifer regulated by Ipuisiana Department of Natural
resources (IDR), and has five outfalls that discharge to the Mississippi River as follcws: Outfall 001
0.24 mgd of clarifier underflow,- outfall 002 - 6.3 mgd of canbined process, utility, and stormweter, and
Outfalls 003, 004, and 005 - unocntaminated storm runoff. Cutfall 102 is an internal monitoring point for the
biological treatment system, process wastes are treated separately and consist of airoonia stripping and
parallel plate interceptors far oil reroval for anrocnia and diarnnoniun phosphate wastewaters,- weshwsters frcm
glyphosate production are lime pretreated to remove glyphosates before discharge with other process effluent
for biological treatment; iriallate, amines, and CYA/£CL production vastevaters are injected into two deep
wells, Ethylene Maleic Anhydride (EMA) wastewaters receive polyner separation, and Cyclo/APAP wastewaters
receive biological treatment. The central biological waste treatment system consists of an activated sludge
unit and an aerated lagocn polishing unit. The conditions of the previous permit retain in effect until
6/20/84, when BCT/BAT equivalent conditions apply. The BOD, ODD, armonia nitrogen, and nitrate nitrogen
limitations at Outfall 002 and the limitations at cutfall 102 are based on a B?J determination that the
abatement technology employed by Monsanto is sufficient to assure ocmpliance. Nickel only is limited at a
technology based level because of its reported concentration well above treatable levels in the effluent fran
the biological treatment systaru Monitoring for chromiun, copper, nickel, and zinc at outfalls 002 and 102
(at the frequency specified in the permit limitations table) is required for three months to establish a data
base. Bioxnonitoring is required on the effluent frcm these outfalls, stormwater limits at cutfalls 003, 004,
and 005 are based on icnr guidance. A schedule of compliance calls for attainment of operational levels by
6/30/84.

0.24 mgd of clarifier underflow; outfall 002 - 6«3 rrgd of combined process, utility, and stonnvater, and
Outfalls 003, 004, and 005 - uncontamirated storm runoff, outfall 102 is an internal ircnitoring point for the
biological treatment system, process wastes are treated separately and consist of armcnia stripping and
parallel plate interceptors far oil removal for amnonia and diammoniun phosphate vestevaters; washveters frcm
glyphosate production are lime pre treated to remove glyphosates before discharge with other process effluent
for biological treatment; Trial late, amines, and CYA/^CL production westeveters are injected into two deep
veils, Ethylene Maleic Anhydride (ema) wastewaters receive polymer separation, and Qclo/ppAP wastewaters
receive biological treatment. The central biological waste treatment system consists of an activated sludge
unit and an aerated lagccn polishing unit. The conditions of the previous permit rare in in effect until
6/30/B4, vhen BCT/BAT equivalent conditions apply. The BOD, CDD, amnonia nitrogen, and nitrate nitrogen
limitations at cutfall 002 and the limitations at cutfall 102 are based on a B?J determination that the
abatement technology employed by Monsanto is sufficient to assure compliance. Nickel oily is limited at a
technology based level because of its reported concentration well above treatable levels in the effluent frcm
the biological treatment systan. Monitoring for chromium, copper, nickel, and zinc at Outfalls 002 and 102
(at the frequency specified in the permit limitations table) is required for three mcnths to establish a data
base. Bicrrcnitoring is required on the effluent frcm these outfalls, stormweter limits at outfalls 003, 004, ,
and 005 are based on idmr guidance. A schedule of oanpliance calls far attainment of operational levels by

LA0005606: Orroet 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 mid" is disposed
of in surface inpoundroents. 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 blowdown, 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.

al kali (subpart F). Treatment of process waste vater, utility condensate, boiler blowdown, cooling tcwer
blowdcwi, norcontact cooling vater and stormvater (total of 4£ mgd) consists of sedimentation, aerated
lagoon, anaerobic treatment, and neutralization. T^o outfalls discharge to the Mississippi River, as follows:
Outfall 001 consists of the effluent from the neutralization facility and a stream fran the ammonia processing
plant of occidental Chemical Corporation Agricultural chanicals Division (npdhS no. 1/0045748); and Outfall
002 consists primarily of untreated river silt settled out in the river vater treatment clarifier (0.14 mgd).
No numerical limits are in effect for Outfall 002. The basis for the mass effluent limits at outfall 001 is
BPJ far TSS, lead and pH, and BAT for Cbpper, Nictel, and Total chlorine residual. (EAT is effective 7/1/B4,
with interim ST limits established starting the effective date of the permit.) lead, although specified in
the guidelines, is not regulated in the permit because the plant has replaced graphite anodes with metallic
anodes, thus eliminating the major source of lead pollution. Although organic priority pollutants are not
found in Occidental's products, intermediates, or raw materials, several trihalcmethanes (branoform,
chlorodibrananethane, chloroform, and dichloranethane) teve been reported at significant levels in the
effluent, it is the BPJ of the permit writer that they are formed by trace hydrocarbons reacting with the
high chlorine residual in the effluent, and that these levels will be reduced with the established B¥T total
chlorine residual limits. Therefore, mcnitoring requirements only are established for these parameters.
BLcnoiitoring requirements are in effect on the effluent from Outfall 001; but no BMP plan is required.

processes. Outfall 002 is uncontaminated stormwater (0.3 mgd) to the river, which is
untreated. The BOD-5, TSS, Oil and Grease, CCD, and pH limits are continued from the
previous permit (using a BPJ determination that BPT=BCT). The limits for the priority
pollutants and for TRC are also based on BPJ. but for a BAT level of technology.
Water quality criteria is used as the basis for the temperature and IDS limitations.
Indicator priority pollutants shall be monitored on days other than those when the
other priority pollutants are being monitored. When a priority pollutant in any group
(volatile organics, metals, etc.) exceeds the limits listed in Part III, Table 1, of
the permit, monitoring will increase for that group to 1/w until 3 consecutive weekly
measurements show all pollutants to be below the limits. The following plans are to
be submitted: (1) Stormwater handling procedure and containment plan (by 7/16/85);
(2) Operations & Maintenance Manual (by 10/16/85); (3) Emergency Procedures and
Contingency Plan (by 10/16/85); (4) SPCC Plan (by 10/16/85). Quarterly 24-hour
bioassays using a static method are required to determine 80% survival in 100%
effluent (by volume) for a duration of 2 years. If survival is less than 80%, a
replacement static 48-hour LC50 test will be conducted on the originally collected
sample. The permit includes BMP's.

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 stornwater 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 biomonitoring
requirements for the effluent of Outfall 001, which consist of 24 hour static
screening tests. If a lethality of 201 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.

LA0051942: The Hil 1 Petroleum Conoanv refinery (SIC 2911) in St. Landry Parish, LA, (S.W. quadrant of state, near
Alexandria) is in the Cracking Subcategory of the Petroleim Refining Category (40 CFR 419.20) and refines 60,000 bbl/day of
erode feedstock. The plant has four outfalls discharging to the Atchafalava River: Outfall 004 - treated process wastev*ater
and runoff from Process Area 14 2, utility water, and con tan ina ted non-process area runoff (0.74 m;d avg., 1.67 mgd max.);
C*jtfall 001 - non-contact cooling water frcm Process Area 1 (2.3 mgd); Outfall 002 - non-process Area 1 runoff (flow varies);
and Outfall 003 - uncontaminated runoff fran Area 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 (40 CFR 419.25), using a
Process Configuration of 9.35, a Process Factor of 1.82, and a Size Factor of 1.04. The Process Configuration is calculated
based on the following refining capacities: 60,000 bbl/d atmospheric distillation, 20,000 bbl/d vacuum disti 1 lation, 60,000
bbl/d desalting, 20,000 bbl/d delayed coking, 25,000 bbl/d FCC, and 25,000 bbl/d hydrocracking. Limits at Outfall 034 are
mass limits and include process area runoff mass allowances frcm the New Source Effluent Guidelines (equivalent to BPT) for
the Topping Subcategory (40 CFR 419.10) for BCO-5, TSS, CCD 4 O&G. Interim limits from 10-31-81 to 1-31-82 are set using the
NSPS guidelines for the Topping Subcategory and a Process Configuration of 2.33, and a second set of interim limits until 6-
30-83 are based on the NSPS guidelines for the Cracking Subcategory, which are used to acccmnodate new delayed coking (20,000
bbt/d) and FCC (25,000 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 accomodates the addition of a 25,000 bbl/d hydrocracking facility. Limits for Outfalls
001, 002 & 003 are based on guidelines for runoff from tank fields and non-process areas (40 CFR 419.10(c)(1)). Net limits
are allowed for T0C for the cooling water discharge at Outfall 001, 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 compliance be achieved by the effective date. A standard re-opener clause is included in the permit, but
there is no requirement for a BMP plan.

LA0059358: The Mallard Resources, inc. crude oil topping unit (SIC 2911), near Lake
Arthur, Louisiana (S.W. corner of state), is in the Petroleum Refining Category (40
CFR 419) and has a capacity of 5,000 bbl/d of crude oil. Products include naptha,
diesel fuel, and No. 6 residual fuel oil. The facilty has two outfalls: 001—treated
process wastewater (0.0405 mgd avg./0.05 mgd max./0.0405 mgd min.) and 002—stormwater
runoff (flow variable and unknown); both of which discharge to an unnamed tributary of
the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway. The process wastewater is treated by an API
separator, skimmer, and a series of three biological oxidation ponds before discharge
at Outfall 001. Stormwater is discharged untreated, although the tank farm is diked
to contain spills and prevent contaminated runoff. Mass limits for Outfall 001 are
based on new source performance standards (NSPS) for the petroleum refining point
source category. As of the permit effective date, NSPS were less stringent than BAT.
Concentration limits for Outfall 002 represent BAT for the category. The permit
includes reopener clauses for toxics or guidelines promulgation, but no-backsliding
language is incorporated. A BMP plan is not required.

LAQ059846: B.F. Goodrich Chemical Group, located in St. James Parish (near Convent),
Louisiana, is a new source in the Organic Chemicals and Plastics and Synthetic Fibers
Category (40 CFR 414). The facility is engaged in the production of ethylene
dichloride and vinyl chloride, primarily for internal consumption, and polyvinyl
chloride (SIC 2869). Discharges are to the Mississippi River (Outfall 001) and
St. James Canal (Outfall 002). The waste stream from 001 consists of process and
utility wastewaters, and the waste stream from 002 consists of stormwater runoff.
Specific treatment of 001 is not specified in the facility's permit application or
fact sheet; following treatment, however, the outfall is combined with two discharges
from Convent Chemical Corporation located nearby before entering the river. Process
areas at which process contamination to the ground is likely to occur are covered with
concrete pads and curbed for containment and collection of contaminated stormwater.
Therefore, stormwater from other areas of the plant remains uncontaminated and is
discharged without treatment from 002. As a new soiree, the permittee is entitled to
a ten year exemption and is not subject to more stringent new source performance
standards (NSPS) during the exemption period as per 40 CFR 122.29(d)(1). Thus, the
permit limits are the same as the previous permit with the exception of the addition
of biomonitorinq to 001. Biomonitoring requirements consist of determining 80%
survival of Daphnia sp. or Mysidopsis sp. in 100% effluent, using a static method for
24 hours. Tests shall be quarterly for a two-year period. If survival is less than
80%, a replacement static 48-hour median LC50 test is to be conducted on the
originally collected sample. The permit does not require the submittal of a BMP plan.

LA0059862: Petroleum Fuel and Terminal Company, 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 gpd 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 guidelines. 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 limits at Outfall 001 are for process wastewater, process area storm
water and ballast water. This proposed permit was in the process of certification at
the date the abstract was written.

LA0059901: The Freeport Uranium Recovery Company, Sunshine Bridge Plant, is located
on the same site as a fertilizer complex (phosphoric acid plant) operated by Agrico
Chemical Company at Donaldsonvi1 le (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 uncontaninated stormvater 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
clauses for both guidelines promulgation and toxics are included. However, uranium is
not regulated as a heavy metal in the permit.

MA0000442: Polysar, Inc. - Resins Division, located in Leominster, Massachusetts,
produces crystal polystyrene resin by the continuous polymerization of styrene (SIC
2821). The facility is in the Organic Chemicals and Plastics and Synthetics Category
(40 CFR 414) with one discharge to Wass Brook. The majority of the wastewater is
contact cooling water, which along with noncontact cooling water is discharged at
Outfall 001. A small portion of the wastewater (less than 60 gpd) is vapor condensate
and drainwater from the polymerization process which is monitored at the time of batch
discharge as Outfall 002, an internal wastestream. The only treatment employed at the
facility is oil/water separation. The basis for the permit limitations is as follows:
TSS - Massachusetts State certification requirements; oil and grease, temperature, pH,
styrene, cumene, and acetone - water quality standards; phenols (Outfall 001) and
ethylbenzene - proposed effluent guidelines; and phenols (Outfall 002)
technologically achievable levels. A BMP Plan or biomonitoring is not required by the
permit. The facility is presently under administrative order and is installing a
carbon adsorption column in order to meet permit limits.

MA0001163: 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
company 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. Bicmonitoring and a BMP plan
are not included in this permit.

MA0001414: Raytheon Company in Lowell, Massachusetts, is engaged in the manufacture
of missile systems (SIC 3761) and the facility is in the Metal Finishing Category (40
CFR 433). Seven plating lines contribute process wastewater to Outfall 001.
Rinsewater from these lines is segregated into four streams (cyanide, acid/alkali,
chrome and floor spills) and collected in sumps. Treatment includes cyanide
destruction, alkaline chlorination followed by neutralization. Chromium wastes
undergo reduction, and the stream containing precipitated metal hydroxides is treated
by clarification. Sludge treatment is by vacuum filtration. Wastewater from
electroless nickel, electroless copper, stripping and etching operations is removed
by waste contractors. Noncontact cooling water is discharged, untreated, from Outfall
002. Both outfalls discharge to the Concord River. Effluent limitations on chromium,
cyanide, daily maximum zinc, and daily maximum nickel are taken from the previous
permit but the previous permit regulated the discharge of soluble metals, so
allowance of 1 mg/1 was added by BRJ to account for particulate metal. BAT effluent
guidelines are basis for limitations on cadmium, lead, silver, TTO, monthly average
zinc, and monthly average nickel, and pH (6.0 - 9.0). All other limits are based on
water quality standards. Limitations at Outfall 001 were derived on a concentration
basis; mass limitations are based on these concentration limits and an average flow of
0.086 mgd and 0.13 mgd maximum. Biological toxicity testing (biomonitoring), and
chemical analysis for cadmium, chromium silver/ and ammonia is required every six
months and monitoring requirements for these parameters may be revised based on the
results of the tests. No BMP Plan is included in the permit.

values as reported in the facility's 1982/1983 DMR's. Limits on total chromium,
hexavalent chromium, cyanide (amenable to chlorination), iron, TSS, maximum zinc, and
maximum nickel are taken from the previous permit which are more stringent than
applicable guidelines. The previous permit, however, regulated the discharge of
dissolved metals; therefore an allowance of 1.0 mg/1 was added as per EPJ to account
for suspended metals. Average nickel, average zinc, and maximum TTO limits are based
on effluent guidelines. The limits on maximum copper and total cyanide are state
certification requirements and the limits on pH and oil and grease are water quality
standards. A monthly statement certifying compliance with a solvent management plan
may be submitted in lieu of analyzing for TTO in accordance with 40 CFR 433.12. The

are more stringent than effluent guidelines and are based on past wastewater treatment
performance. A schedule of compliance calls for the relining, pumping out, and
sealing of the outlet of an emergency wastewater retention basin with installation of
a puup in the basin by September 30, 1982. For the facility's existing metals waste
sludge disposal site, quarterly monitoring is required and an operations manual must
be submitted by April 30, 1982. A closure plan for the existing site must be
submitted by June 1, 1982, and a detailed hydrogeologic study and operations manual
are required for any future disposal sites.

MD0001261: ABC Chemicals. Inc. (formerly SCM Corp.-Adrian Joyce Works) in
Baltimore, Maryland, is in the Inorganic Chemicals Manufacturing Category {40 CFR
415). The facility manufactures titanium dioxide (SIC 2816) by the sulfate and
chloride processes. Three outfalls discharge an average flow of 12 mgd to the
Patapsco River: 001 - stormwater, condenser, scrubber, and cooling waters; 002 -
chloride- and sulfate-plant process wastewater, cell water and leachate from the
Quarantine Road sludge storage facility, stormwater runoff, and treated sanitary
effluent; 003 - sulfate process wastewater. Mass limits are considered under a bubble
concept in which the sum of all the discharges equals the total facility discharge.
Wastewater treatment includes neutralization and clarification. Limits for TSS, Total
Chromium, Total Nickel, and pH are based on BPT/BAT effluent guidelines for the
sulfate process (Outfalls 001 & 003) and for the chloride-ilmenite process (Outfall
002). Iron limits are based on water quality criteria using a receiving stream
computer model. A Settlement Agreement and Consent Decree dated 7/9/84 allows
leachate discharges from the batch attack lagoon to groundwater. Effected leachate
waters must be collected and treated prior to direct discharge. A plan of study
involving static testing of selected organisms to evaluate toxicity at Outfalls 001,
002, and 003 is required by 9/1/85, using the "Maryland Aquatic Toxicity Bioassay Guidance
Document" for reference. A BMP Plan is not included in the permit.

ard manufactures cadmium sulfide pigments (SIC 2816). Two outfalls discharge directly
to Colgate Creek: Outfall 001, which consists of effluent from the colored pigment
builaing; and Outfall 002, which consists of effluent from the fine particle silica
building. The cadmium sulfide suspension is size classified in a hydrocyclone, goes
to a settling tank and a f i 1 ter press, where the sol ids become the product. The
liquid from the filter press goes to a scavenger tank and a filter press, and is
checked by a turbidity sensor before discharge to Outfall 001. Raw waste and cooling
water receive jdH adjustment and screening, solids separation, and settling before
discharge to Outfall 002. The limitations are BPJ in the absence of promulgated
guidelines. Ammonia is not to be used as a' neutralizing agent for the final effluent
at any time and the facility has been given an ammonia loading value not to be
exceeded by the total of the two outfalls. A BMP plan is also required.

emergency rain pcrd overflow; and Outfalls 004-007 consist of storm we ter runoff (approximately 8 gpn).
process wastes fran the cryolite plant receive solids removal and addition of calciun chloride to remove
fluoride with recycle of thickener solids and landfill of calciun fluoride solids. All wastestreams (except
sanitary wastes) ccntributing to Outfall 001 are sent to a surge pond-sedimentation lagocn with an oil
sJdjnrdng boom before discharge. Sanitary wastes receive extended aeration, polishing pcnd, and chlorination,
with aerobic digestion and land application of solids. Outfalls 002-007 receive no treatment, internal
monitoring points are established for treated sanitary wastewater (101), overflows fran ponds 002 and 003 and
the primary lagoon (102, 103, 104 respectively); paste plant scrubber pcnd overflew to plant sewer (105). The
basis for the limits at 001 is BPJ for TSS and Fluoride. Monitoring for those parameters with promulgated BAT
guidelines (Cyanide, Antimony, Aluninun, Nickel, and Bnzo{a)pyrene) for this subcategory is required for one
year to establish a data base. A schedule of ocmpliance calls for achievement of the final BOD limitations at
monitoring point 101 within 6 months of the effective date of the permit. A previous compliance schedule
required the reduction of oil and grease discharge to the current limit of 15 ng/l through improvement of
system operation and maintenance by 7/1/33. Bianonitoring and a BMP plan are not required.

ME0001406: Maremont Corporation, Saco Defense Systems Division, in Saco, Maine, is a
manufacturing facility with metal finishing capabilities where much of the business is
government contract machining with an emphasis on defense materials and weapons
systems (SIC 3499, 3471). The facility is in the Metal Finishing Category (40 CFR
433). Total flow from Outfall 001 is 0.568 mgd from the facility's treatment plant
system which consists of: 0.035 mgd steam condensate, 0.26 mgd cooling water, 0.2 mgd
wastewater from plating operations, 0.07 mgd from other process rinses, and 0.003 mgd
stormwater runoff. Treatment includes flocculation, mixing, sedimentation,
ion exchange, neutralization and reduction. A flow of 0.36 mgd is recycled and sludge
is treated by gravity thickening, vacuum filtration followed by landfilling. Outfall
002 consists of noncontact cooling water which flows intermittently when the water
recirculation system is inoperative. Both discharges are to Goosefare Brook; however,
the facility'^ discharge is over fifteen times the 7Q10 flow of Goosefare.
Preliminary approval has been made to move the discharge from 001 to the Saco River,
and after issuance of the permit, EPA will issue an administrative order with a
compliance schedule to form a tie-in with a storm drain system which will flow to Saco
River. Daily maximum limits in the previous permit were more stringent than effluent
guidelines therefore they were retained. Monthly average limits on some parameters
are added by BRJ based on past performance of the facility. The TTO limit is based on
BAT effluent guidelines and temperature and pH are limited by State certification
requirements to meet water quality standards. There is no BMP Plan or biomonitoring
requirement included in the permit.

ME0002178: The Scott Paper Co. plant in Winslow, Maine, (east central part of state,
north of Augusta) is in the Pulp, Paper and Paper Board Category (40 CFR 430) and
produces 600 tpd of fine and tissue paper from purchased pulp and reclaimed paper that
is deinked on site (150 tpd), (SIC 2621). The present production of paper from
purchased pulp is to be reduced from 600 tpd to 450 tpd. Outfall 001 contains treated
process wastewater (9.3 mgd); Outfall 002 is uncontarninated 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
Qatfall 001 is a combination of the effluent from a series of three dissolved air
flotation units which treat paper machine wstewater 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 BRJ. The BOD
limitation at Outfal 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 BFT levels. An allocation
of 450/600 (3/4) of the pulp machine waste load was increased by the increment
discharging from the new deinking treatment plant. The average monthly TSS limit was
based on the annual average TSS effluent multiplied by the BPT variability factor in
the development document and added to the previous permit limit.

of plating, acid/alkali cleaning, finishing, power wash/blast, boiler blowdown, and soluble oil; treatment is unspecified,
except that the effluent is filtered. No treatment is provided for fluoride. Treated process wastewater is discharged at
Outfall 003 (0.475 mgd, max.), and Outfall 004 consists of non-contact cooling water (0.280 mgd, max). Both discharges are
to the Great Works River. The basis for BAT limitations is a combination 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 mg/1 based on a stream dilution ratio of 6.8:1 at the maximun process wastewater
discharge in order to provide a safe instream concentration of 1.6 mg/1 at 75*F as noted in the Safe Drinking Water Act.
Copper I Soluble Lead—EPA water quality criteria (Red Book) to protect aquatic life using Brook Trout as the test species
and the safe instrea-n concentration for copper of 0.01 mg/1 (0.1 x 96-hr TLen of 0.1 mg/1 = 0.01 mg/1) and 0.045 mg/1 for
soluble lead (0.01 x 96-hr TLjg of 4.5 mg/1 = 0.045 mg/1). Maximum mass limits of 0.396 lb/d foe copper and 3.96 lb/d for
soluble lead are based on maxunim process waste flow (0.475 mgd) and maximun process waste concentrations of 0.1 mg/1 for
copper and 1.0 mg/1 for lead. The mass limits can vary up to the maximun quantity based on stream flow in order to maintain
the safe instream concentration. At a process waste concentration of 0.1 ng/1 for copper and 1.0 ng/l for soluble lead and
under decreasing stream flow conditions, the maximum mass discharge limit is reached first for soluble lead at a stream flow
of 10.55 irgd and second for copper at a stream flow of 4.76 mgd. Thus, the soluble lead limit is controlling for the
treatment process. Total Cadniun limits are on a net basis, are set equal to the mean of background levels in the receiving
Stream (0.015 mg/1), and can equal the background level when it exceeds 0.015 mg/1. Tsnperature limits are based on State
water quality standards for thermal discharges at the boundary of the mixing 2one, some 2,000 feet downstrean. Oil and
Crease and pH 1 in its 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.

ME0022861: The Pratt & Whitney Aircraft Group. Manufacturing Division (part of United
Technologies Corporation) in North Berwick, Maine, is engaged in the metal finishing
and electroplating of airplane parts (SIC 3471, 3724). Their operations fall under
the Metal Finishing (40 CFR 433) and Electroplating (40 CFR 413) categories.
Outfall 003 discharges treated process wastewater intermittently at a rate of 300 GPM
with an average flow of 0.1 mgd. Wastewater treatment consists of hexavalent chromium
reduction, mixture of wastewater with starch xanthate. flocculation. clarification,
equalization, and filtration. Wastewater is discharged to the Great Works River which
has a Q7-10 of 3.0 mgd. The proposed permit limitations are based on the most
stringent of three criteria: (1) national effluent guidelines for metal finishing,
(2) limitations from the previous permit, (3) toxicity based permit levels developed
from required toxicity tests and water quality criteria. The majority of the
limitations are based on the previous permit, however limits for zinc, lead, and
aluminum are based on the toxicity data. The hexavalent chromium limit is based on
the State of Maine technological (BftT/EPT) requirement. Outfall 004 discharges
0.28 mgd of noncontact cpoling water to the Great Works River, and the permit
describes a mixing zone boundary beyond which the temperature limits will be in force.
Outfalls 006, 007, 008, 009, 010 discharge stormwater to the West and Great Works
Rivers. Serial No. 005 requires measurement of the flow of the Great Works River.
The flow measurement device must be calibrated twice per year by an outside
consultant. Biomonitoring and a solvent management plan are required by the permit.

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/1, except for decreasing levels of 1,1,1- Trichloroethane at 1.2 to 0.32 ug/1 and
1,1,2-Trichloroethylene at 3.1 to 0.18 ug/1. BOD & TSS levels were less than 10 mg/1.
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 POTW. 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 pimp-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 Suocategory 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
result 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 simp for recycle with the
mill process water. Oil and grease is removed in each mine before discharge with
rope-type oil skimmers. The basis for BAT concentration limits is BPJ using as
guidance the effluent guidelines in 40 CFR 440.22 (a)(1). Water quality 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 compliance schedule is required.

MO-0030183: 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 photographies 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 mgd 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 mgd. 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.

MO-0333299: The Monsanto-St. Peters Plant. St. Peters (St. Lcuis area), Missouri, produres electronic grade silicon for
smi-conductors (SIC 3339),for whicn there is no effluent guidelines category. The facility discharges into the
Mississippi River via Del leau Creek from three outfalls: 001 — treated process wastewater (0,828 mgd); 002—contained
stornwater runoff, cooling tower blowdowi, reverse osmosis process reject voter, air conditioning condensate, and water well
relief valve reject water (0.143 mgd normal ly discharged through polishing lagoon system and Outfall 001, with flows in
excess of 300 gpn during storms being discharged at 002); and 003—bypass for treated process wastewater (001) around 2nd and
3rd cells of lajoon system (0.828 m9d, when discharging). The main wastewater treatment system for this facility consists of
an activated sludge plant, a belt sludge dewatering press, a sludge comrunutor, and a 3-cell final polishing laooon 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 nomal rainwater runoff. The process wastewater pretreabnent 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. TTiis permit has been reissued to reflect consideration of the administrative relief (variance)
requested by Monsanto under federal regulations 301 (i) (2) (a) and the National Municipal Policy and Strategy (October 1979) as
a result of the Notice of Violation issued by EPA on 5-21-80. Monsanto is required to connect its sanitary and pretreated
process wastes to the POTW within 90 days if availability of trunk sewers 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 8CD-5, TSS, total chromium and total fluoride in Outfall 001 and 0031 Monitoring-only
requirements are prescribed for flow on all outfalls and for methylene chloride on Outfalls 001 and 003. Effluent from
Outfall 002 cannot raise or lower the tanperature of the receiving water beyond the mixing zone (dimensions not given) by
more than 5 °F nor cause or contribute to a stream temperature above 90 *F. Monsanto is to submit a plan in three rronths of
the effective date for conducting upstream and downstream bianonitorinq of aquatic biota to assure that TSS discharges are
not having an adverse effect. No compliance schedule is contained in the permit, but it includes reopener clauses for both
standards/limitations pranulgation and for resolution of court cases or other changes to NPDES regulations. A BMP plan is
not required.

MO-O000370:. The Carondelet Coke Corporation of St. Louis, Missouri, is in the
Iron and Steel Manufacturing Category and produces metallurgical coke (SIC 3312).
Previous BPT permits were oasea on effluent guidelines for the By-Product Coke
Subcategory (40 CFR 20, Subpart A). However, the current permit limits are only for
boiler blowdown, 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 Cutfall 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)
reopener clause is included in the permit in case new or more stringent effluent
standards are promulgated for this type of wastewater.

M00001121: ASABCO Incorporated, located in Glover, Missouri, is in the Nonferrous
Metals Manufacturing Category (40 CFR 421). Plant activities involve the production of
lead bullion (SIC 3332) resulting in discharges to Scroagin Branch thence to Big Creek.
The permit regulates three outfalls: (1) 002, combined process wastewaters; (2) 003,
sanitary wastewater from a domestic wastewater treatment facility; and (3) 004,
noncontact cooling water. Outfall 001 is not addressed. Process wastewaters are
collected in a concrete settling basin, then pumped to an earthen settling basin, with
overflows to a second earthen basin for recycle. The domestic wastewater treatment
facility uses aeration followed by chlorination. Noncontact cooling waters are
discharged without treatment. The basis for the permit limitations is effluent
guidelines (40 CFR 421.73 and 421.93) for applicable pollutants and BPJ for other
processes. ASAECO is to prepare a report on the feasibility of providing treatment
facilities adequate to capture, store, and treat all rainfall to the plant site,
including a 10 year 24 hour storm event. The report is due by 4/12/86, at which time
the permit may also be reopened to reflect flow allotments or limits necessary during
storm events. The permit may also be reopened if effluent or water quality monitoring
indicates a violation of stream standards, or if the USEPA modifies, withdraws, or
revises the guidelines on which the limits are based. Biomonitoring requirements are
not included.

MCC001716: freerican cyanamid CEnpany (sic 2879, 2B33, 2873, and 2048), located in rannibal, Missouri, is in
three effluent guidelines categories: pesticides Chemicals ftanufacturing (40 CFR 455), pharmaceutical
Manufacturing (40 CFR 439), and fertilizer Manufacturing (40 CFR 418). The following seven products are
manufactured and their corresponding wastewater treatment systems described: 1) Nitric Acid - backwash lagoon
to a river surge pit for pH neutralization (0.01 ingd); 2) AmDniun Nitrate - ion exchange and/or wet scrubbing
with recycle of the regenerant, treated wastewater is fed to the backwash lagoon far sedimentation then
receives neutralization (0.3 mod); 3) Dicalciin phosphate - dry process,- 4) Tetracycline, an antibiotic
Animal Ffeed intermediate (AFI) - filtrate is sent to an activated sludge treatment plant consisting of
extended aeration, settling, and land application of sludge (0.25 mgd); this system also treats the facility's
sanitary waste (0X6 n*gd); 5) and 6) OXNTD1 and THIMEi; organophosphate insecticides - production wastes are
incinerated with the scrubbing of the stack gas in two stages; first, phosphorus oxides are removed and the
wastestream sent to phosphorus lagoons for settling and seocnd, S02, CD2 and NQ< are absorbed and the stream
sent to the utility lagoon along with the phosphorus lagoon contents (0.15 mgd); and 7) IRCWL, an orgaro-
nitrogen herbicide - wastewater is incinerated with removal of particulates by a wet scrubber, and punping of
the wastewaters to the utility lagoon (0-6 irgd). These production wastewaters along with shipping losses and
wastewater generated fron utilities, enter a pump station wet well for discharge through Outfall 001 to the
Mississippi River. Outfall 001A consists of the effluent from the utility lagoon vMch is mixed with other
discharges at outfall 001. Cutfall 002 consists of once-through non-oontact cooling water, limited by voter
quality standards, which is used for cooling the bulk ammonia storage tank and the dehunidification system in
the bulk ammonium nitrate storage building, outfall 002 also discharges to the Mississippi River. Ehd-of-
pipe permit mass limitations at oatfall 001 are based on BPJ due to the presence of carmen parameters found in
different processes, but not necessarily listed in categorical guidelines for each particular industry
category. The six source categories caitributirig essential parameters are nitric acid, anmoniun nitrate, API,
pesticides, utilities, and Slipping losses. Quantities generated by a process but vhich are not included in
effluent guidelines are estimated. Daily average permit limitations are established by adding the daily
averages of each individual prccess. Daily maximum permit limitations are arrived at by adding the daily
maximun of the most critical process for a particular parameter to the daily averages of other contributing
processes, cne exception is the daily maximun for BOD, vhich was calculated using both the COCNUR-IHIMET
discharge and AFI daily maximum plus the daily average of other contributing flows, internal monitoring
requirements on the individual jxoduction processes are specified based on the previous permit and are to be
reported on the EMR. A bioassay indicated that the toxicity to fathead minnows was 13%, and was due primarily
to arrmonia. Dilution of the effluent by the Mississippi River is sufficient to achieve the 96 ICS0 level. .
The permit does not contain a BMP plan.

MO-O002411: The Sperrv Vickers plant in Joplin, MO (s.w. corner of state near KA/OK
border) produces hydraulic pumps and motors (SIC 3561). Treated process wastewater
from various types of plating operations (25,000 gpd design flow) is discharged at
Outfall 001 to Turkey Creek in the Grand (Neosho) River Basin. Batch and continuous
treatment systens are used for plating wastes, including chenical precipitation,
electrochemical treatment, neutralization, settling, and sludge drying bed with off-
site disposal. The plating operations place the facility in the Electroplating
Category (40 CFR 413). However, the basis for dual mass and concentration permit
limits, in the absence of final effluent guidelines, is BPJ to represent BAT/BCT,
using as guidance the existing permit, pollutant values from the application, and BPT
guidelines. Mass limits are based on a flow of 100,000 gpd, despite the design flow
of 25,000 gpd. Water quality criteria were used to set temperature limits at the
boundary of the mixing zone, the dimensions of which are not given but are contained
in 10 CSR 20-Chapter 2 or 7. The permit does not require a schedule of compliance or
a BMP plan. However, a reopener clause is included.

MO-0033263: TViA Overhaul Facility, located at KC International Airport in Kansas
City, MO, is engaged in the overhaul, repair and maintenance of jet aircraft (SIC
3721). There is no guidelines category for this facility. The one wastewater
discharge, Outfall 001, has an average flow of 720,000 gpd and consists of combined
treated process wastewater from a petroleum waste treatment system and a plating waste
treatment system. The receiving water is Todd Creek. The petrolium waste treatment
system consists of 2 sludge holding basins, 2 waste equalization basins, 3 acid
clarifiers, 2 solids contact basins, a trickling filter, a secondary clarifier and 2
polishing lagoons. The plating waste treatment system consists of retention basins, a
chromium reduction basin, a precipitating basin and a chlorination systan. A sludge
drying system consists of two separate sludge holding basins, one each for hazardous
and non-hazardous sludges, and a vacuum filter. The basis for BAT limitations is BPJ
in the absence of effluent guidelines. Identical monthly average and daily maximum
concentration limits represent achievable treatment levels and are compatible with
water quality criteria. No toxic organic materials were reported. A re-cpener clause
is included in the permit in the event final guidelines are issued for certain
unspecified industrial categories.

MO-0004782: The McDonnell Douclas 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 permit. 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 stream" 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-canpliance
in the past. The requirement for a BMP plan was specifically eliminated; however, the
permit does contain a standard reopener clause. A request was filed by the ccmpany on
October 11, 1982, (1) to modify the ammonia limits to "monitor only" as ammonia is
added by the St. Louis Water Ccmpany, 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.

Bendix Corporation to produce non-nuclear weapons components involving machining,
plastics fabrication, plating, and electrical and mechanical assembly (SIC 9711,
National Security Industry). There is no guidelines category for this industry. The
NPDES permit regulates four outfalls discharging non-contact cooling water, storm
water, etc. to the Blue River (001) and Indian Creek (002,003 & 004) of the Missouri
River basin: 001-0.40 avg/1.88 max mgd; 002-1.56/4.13 mgd; 003-0.33/1.10 mgd; 004-
0.22/0.65 mgd. process waste (0.52 mgd of mostly plating wastes) is pretreated in a
lagoon and discharged to the POTW along with boilerhouse effluent (0.50 mgd) and
domestic waste (0.29 mgd). The total flow to the POTVJ 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 1OCSR20-7.031, 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
required within one year of the effective date.

and 013—sewage treatment effluent (5,000 gpd avg.), packaged treatment facility. (Outfall 013 is discharged through 005.)
Concentration limits are set on total residual chlorine (Ojtfalls 003 and 004), and TSS and OiG (Outfalls 001, 002, and 005)
on the basis of the BAT categorical guide 1ines. Net limits for TSS are provided for Outfalls 001 t 032. Concentration limits
on TSS in runoff (Outfalls 006-012) are based on BP J. Concentration limits on BOD-5 & TSS at Outfall 013 are based on BPJ,
and they are equivalent to secondary treatment. Mass lira its on copper and iron in Outfall 005B during boiler cleaning are
derived from the BPT/BAT concentration guidelines. The thermal discharges must not cause violations of State water quality
standards, and the permittee must conduct quarterly thermal plune studies to determine the 2.8 °C contour line above ambient
lake temperature and 1.1 eC isotherms within the contour. Temperature limits may be proposed at 004 after review of thermal
monitoring, A compliance schedule in the permit requires that the operator subnit a plan for closure or rehabilitation o£
the inactive ash pond and associated ash disposal area (Outfall 002) within 18 months of the permit issue date. Within 90
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 with Section 316(b) of CVfi. The permit includes a reopenet clause for promulgation
of standards or guidelines. No BMP plan is required.

this site (SIC 4911). Unit No. 1 has a net generating capacity of 550 megawatt (MW),
and No. 2 is a 750 MW unit. The station discharges directly into the Mississippi
River via six regulated outfalls. Descriptions of the outfalls and associated
wastewater treatment are as follows: 001 (243.36 mgd max.), and 002 (339 mgd max.)—
once through cooling water, treated intermittently by chlorination; 003—sanitary
waste (7,000 gpd) treated by comminution, activated sludge, settling and chlorination;
004—low volume wastes other than demineralizer wastes (0.70 mgd max.), treated by
oil/water separation, sedimentation, skimming, API separator, and neutralization;
005—metal cleaning wastes and boiler blowdown (0.05 mgd max.), treated by chemical
precipitation, sedimentation, and neutralization; and 006—low volume (demineralizer)
wastes (flow unknown), treatment identical to that for 004. BAT effluent guidelines
are used to set concentration limits on free available chlorine (Outfalls 001 and
002); oil and grease and TSS (Outfalls 004-006); total Cu and total Fe (Outfall 005).
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 BRJ determination of BAT limits. Thermal limits for Outfalls
001 and 002 are based on water quality and a BRJ determination of BAT. The thermal
limits apply outside the perimeter of a mixing zone 335 meters long by 228 meters
wide. No BMP Plan is required.

discharge, consists of 14.35 mgd of effluent from Outfalls 101 and 102, cooling tower
blowdown, and noncontact cooling water; Outfall 101 consists of process wastewater
(0.599 mgd) which is collected in an equalization basin before treatment by an
ion exchange unit, and Outfall 102 consists of sanitary wastewater (0.129 mgd).
Outfalls 003 and 103 consist of sanitary wastewater with flows of 0.013 mgd and 0.0046
mgd, respectively. Sanitary wastewater is treated by an activated sludge package
plant. Discharges are to Martin Creek (001, 003) thence to Piney creek (103) thence
into the Yazoo River. Limitations for Outfalls 102, 103, and 003 are based on
Mississippi water quality criteria for sanitary wastewater treatment. Limitations for
Outfall 001 are based on water quality criteria for the protection of Piney Creek as
modeled by computer programming. Outfall 101 limits are based on BAT effluent
guidelines for the ammonium nitrate, urea, and nitric acid subcategories
(418.33(a) (b), 418.43, 418.53 FR vol. 43. No. 81, April 26, 1978), using the

MS0000671: Rockwell International, Inc., located in Grenada, Mississippi (about 100
miles south of Menphis, 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 chromium, 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.

MS0001481: Chevron U.S.A., 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 stormwater
runoff (7.7 mgd); Outfalls 002, 003, 005, and 007 consist of tankfield runoff (2.73
mgd); Outfall 004 is stormwater runoff from coke storage piles (0.075 mgd); and
Outfall 006 consists of stormwater 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. Stormwater runoff is collected in
surface impoundments for settling or oil removal before discharge. The basis for the
limitations at Outfall 001 are BCT 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 419.23(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 001; 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,U00 lbs/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 0U1)
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 lbs/day BCD 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 receiving 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.

MS0001783: Bryan Foods, Inc. of West Point, Mississippi, is in Subpart D, Hiah-
Processina Packinghouse Subcategory of the Meat Products Point Source Category (40 CFR
432). The facility processes beef and pork consumer products (SIC 2011) from on- and
off-site slaughtered animals, producing 1,577,699 liveweight pounds per day. Plant
operations result in a single discharge from Outfall 001 to an unnamed tributary,
thence into Town Creek, thence into Tibbee Creek, consisting of treated wastewater
from sanitary, cooling, boiler blowdown, and process wastewater (2 mgd). Treatment
includes an anaerobic lagoon followed by a two-stage activated sludge plant, followed
by chlorination and post-aeration prior to discharge. Limitations for TSS and fecal
coliform are based on BPT effluent guidelines (40 CFR 432.42(a)). TSS limits were
calculated based upon the liveweight kill rate mentioned above. All other limitations
are based on Mississippi water quality criteria, calculating equivalent mass limits
using the daily average flow of 2 mgd. A new on-site clarifier with adequate capacity
for the facility is required as an improvement. A BMP plan and biomonitoring
requirements are not included, but the permit contains a standard reopener clause for
modification if more stringent limitations are promulgated after the permit issuance
date.

MSOOOly7U: Conoco Chemicals Company in Aberdeen, Mississippi, is in the Plastics and
Synthetics Category (40 CFR 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 U03 is 0.223 mgd stormwater and once through cooling
water. Treatment 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
puolications on the level of risk associated with priority pollutants. Due to the
presence of certain priority pollutants, bicmonitoring 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.

MS0002020: Sterling Drug, Inc. located in Gulfport, Mississippi, is engaged in
pharmaceutical manufacturing and packaging where products are manufactured from
inorganic materials (SIC 2834). Products produced include: milk of magnesia,
laxatives and antacids, magnesium hydroxide cakes and powders, and aluminum hydroxide
cakes. The facility is in the Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Category (40 CFR 439) and
there is one discharge, from Outfall 001, to an unnamed tributary to Brickyard Bayou.
The discharge consists of process wastewater generated at filter presses (140,000 gpd)
and rinse water from tank washings (10,000 gpd) and wastewater from both sources is
collected in an equalization basin followed by flocculation, settling and pH
adjustment. Effluent limitations in the permit are based on BPT effluent guidelines
in the Mixing/Compounding and Formulation Subcategory (Subpart D). Due to the
presence of aluminum and sulfate, monitoring requirements have been imposed on these
parameters although they are not limited by national guidelines. If the manufacturing
process is altered such that cyanide is added or becomes a by-product of any product,
notification within 60 days is required so the permit may be modified to include
limits and monitoring requirements for this parameter. There is no biomonitoring
reqirement or BMP Plan included in the permit.

three processes plus runoff (1.67 ngd total) and receives treatment consisting of chemical reduction,
neutralization, metals precipitation and settling in 2 ponds in series. Outfall 101 is ncn-ccntact cooling
vater (11.23 mgd) and stomveter (045 mgd) vhich passes through a 5-acre spill control pond, cutfall 001 is
sanitary wastes (13,000 gpd) vhich are treated in a 1.8 acre lagoon. All three outfalls join together before
leaving the property and discharge to Dcse Maie Creek, to Mckinley Creek and then to the Tcmhigbee River. The
maximun total discharge has approached 25 mgd. The five-part basis for the total mass limits at outfall 201
is (1) proposed BAT effluent guidelines (7/24/80) for the Titaniun Dioxide Subcategory (415.222) using the
following production factors (in kg/kkg): TSS—6-4/23, Total Iron—.25/54, Total Chraniun—jOI4/J327 (2)
proposed EAT effluent guidelines (8/29/79) for the Electrolytic Manganese products Subcategory (42460) using
the following production factors (in kg/kkg): Manganese—.339/«678, Armonia (N)—3.389/6.778; (3) EPJ to
determine the Total Chrcmiun mass discharge fran the sodiun chlorate prooess in the absence of guidelines
using a flow of 0.1 mgd and chrcmiuii concentrations of 0.25/0.5 nrg/1; (4) the TSS limits were kept the same as
the more stringent previous permit to avoid backsliding; and (5) following a request by the company, Rjp was
used to allow an additional 46.9/51 £ lb/d discharge of manganese fran the titaniun dioxide process as
manganese is not considered in the inorganic Chemicals guidelines. The additional manganese allocation was
established to reflect achievable treatment levels after a review of xerr-Mcoee's nMPfs for the previous two
years. The total current manganese values are more stringent than the previous permit, vhich allowed 76/196
lb/d. The final inorganic Chemicals BAT/ECT guidelines (6/29/82) are less stringent than the proposed
guidelines for the Titaniun Dioxide subcategory used here far TOtal Chrcmiun, and Total iron has teen
eliminated as a regulated pollutant in the final guidelines. The permit does not require a EMp plan nor
contain a compliance schedule as the company is in ocmpliarce with the current limits, but it does contain a
special reopener clause. Based on previous bioassays conducted by EPA and the company, the permit dees not
require biomonitoring.

MS0002917: Mississippi Power Company, Eaton Plant, located at Petal (Hattiesburg
area), Mississippi, is in the Steam Electric Power Generating Category (40 CFR 423)
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 1 imits 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 CI2 (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
this discharge. The permit does not contain a compliance schedule and a BMP plan is

MS0002941: The St. Regis Paper Company plant of Monticello, Mississippi, (central
area of state) is in the Unbleached Kraft Subcategory of the Pulp, paoer & Paperboard
Category (40 CFR 430, Subpart A) and produces 1843 tons/day of unbleached kraft pulp, pa:
and linerboard (SIC 2611, 2621, 2631). The plant discharges 31.7 mgd of process wastewa-
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: BOD5 - 28 mg/1 (summer) & 38 mg/1 (winter); TSS-84 mg/1. Outfall 002 discharges
9.6 mgd of non-contact cooling water. A reopener clause is included.

hardboard (production of 1834 tons/d) and smooth-two-side hardboard (207 tons/d) (SIC
2499). The facility discharges to Tal1 aha la Creek from three outfalls: 001—treated
process wastewater (2.28 mgd avg./4.6 mgd max./1.78 mgd min.); 002 and 003—
unregulated stormwater runoff (flow variable and unknown). Process wastewater is
treated by contact stabilization activated sludge, followed by an aerated polishing
1 agoon and long-term impoundment in ponds with aquatic vegetation. Mass TlmTts on
BOD-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 tenperature and strean flow.
The maximum tenperature 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, followed by 96 hour static tests to determine the
96 hour L£50 if less than 90% survival in 100% wastewater is recorded in the first
test. Bioassays shall be conducted quarterly for nine consecutive months. No

MS0O26140: 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 Qi-ig to 2.0 mg/1 one mile downstream with an average daily
discharge concentration of 29 mg/1 for BOD-5 (60 lb/day). Average ammonia limits of
17 ing/1 also are set by the model. The two discharges from the facility have been
considered under a bubble concept in which the sum of discharge values of both
outfalls equals the total facility 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.

Subcategory (40 CFR 430, Subpart G)) of the Pulp, Paper & Paperboard Category and will
produce 1,000 tons/day of pulp (SIC 2611) while discharging 20 mgd of process
wastewater through Outfall 002 to a water quality limiting section of the Leaf River.
Process wastewater will be treated by screening, primary clarification, equalization, ,
extended aeration activated sludge, and secondary clarification. Sanitary wastes will
be treated to secondary standards in an activated sludge package plant and discharged
from internal Outfall 001 into Outfall 002. The basis for BAT limitation is the
proposed New Source Performance Standards (40 CFR Part 430 Subpart G-430.75); using
production factors (in lb/1000 lb) as follows: BODc-4.8 & 8.2; TSS-6.2 & 10.2;
Chloroform-0.032 (max); Pentachlorophenol-0.0034 (maxj; and Trichlorophenol-0.0040
(max). BODq is further limited by a stream flow and tenperature variable wasteload
al location model to between 1497 kg/d @ 440-500 cfs & 28°C and the categorical limit
of 4355 kg/d at various flow/temperature combinations in order to maintain dissolved
oxygen levels above 5 mg/1 in the stream. Equivalent BOD^ concentrations at an
average wastewater flow of 20 mgd would be 20 & 58 mg/1. A minimum dissolved oxygen
level in the effluent is not required in the permit. A reopener clause is included,

MT0000248: Holly Sugar Co., near Sidney, Montana, (N.E. corner of state near N.D.
border) is in the Sugar Processing Category, Beet Sugar Processing Subcategory (40 CFR
409, Subpart A), and produces crystalline sugar and beet sugar by-products (SIC 2063)
at the rate of 532 tpd (483 kkg/day) during the beet slicing period of September
through February each year. The waste stream flow is not given; it is treated by
clarification, an aerated lagoon and polishing ponds—the treated effluent is then
land disposed by spray irrigating on 115 acres of diked land whose surface drainage
normally does not reach the Yellowstone River. The permit is a BPJ administrative
extension of the original BPT permit which was based on effluent guidelines (40 CFR
409.10 Subpart A) production factors for BOD & TSS of 2.2 (avg) and 3.3 (max)
lb/1000 lb (kg/kkg). BOD limits are on a net basis. The plant has not discharged to
the Yellowstone River since 1975, but Holly Sugar Company must notify the North Dakota
Department of Health, Bismarck, at least 7 days prior to discharge. A re-opener
clause is included pending promulgation of BCT guidelines. If BCT guidelines are
promulagated prior to permit expiration, then BCT limitations apply from that date
through permit expiration.

deionizer regenerant (1,300 gpd). Cooling tower blowdown (9,300 gpd) is discharged to
a stormwater holding pond that is not regulated. Treatment consists of corrminutor,
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
treatment standards because the wastewater consists of about 50% sanitary wastes.
Concentration limits regain 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 compliance as the treatment plant is
meeting the concentration limits, but a BMP plan is required.

manufactures 38,000 to 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 BP J, 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/1) and Nebraska's General Numeric Criteria are used to set oil and
grease limits at 10 mg/1 (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
permit will be reopened.

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
ammonia) 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 dissolved oxygen are water quality based. There is no
schedule of compliance and a BMP plan and biomonitoring are not required.

are based on BPT=BAT effluent guidelines, and equivalent concentration limits
are based on 0.19 mgd. The limitations for oil and grease are based on the
previous permit limits which are more stringent than effluent guidelines following
antibacksliding provisions. Ammonia is limited according to water quality standards
as a result of a request from the State of New Hampshire. There is no requirement for
biomonitoring or a BMP Plan in the permit.

NH0000469: Spaulding Fibre Company, Inc. in North Rochester, New Hampshire, produces
25 tons per day of paper and paperboard for electrical applications. The furnished
materials include: wood fiber consisting of unbleached kraft pulp, cuttings from
corrigated boxes and waste rolls for linerboard; and cotton fiber consisting primarily
of blue jean cuttings and some cotton linters (SIC 2631, 2621, and 2641). The
facility has a single discharge to Salmon Falls River from Outfall 001 averaging 0.55
mgd (0.77 mgd maximum) process wastewater. The treatnent system includes chemical
oxidation, neutralization, grit removal, flotation, mixing and sedimentation with
chlorine treatment of sludge. Although there are national guidelines for pulp and
paperboard producing facilities, there are no effluent guidelines for mills which
produce specialty electrical papers and paperboards, so effluent limits in the permit
were developed on a case by case basis using BRJ or water quality standards. Limits
on antimony are based on regional guidance for anitmony in drinking water. Zinc is
limited by national water quality criteria (45 FR 79341) and limits are less stringent
than previous permit limits, but were allowed because the facility is meeting
technology requirements and the limits are more stringent than state water quality
standards. Limits on oil and grease are based on State certification requirements
needed to meet water quality standards, and BOD, TSS, and phenol are limited by BRJ.
There is no biomonitoring requirement or BMP Plan included in the permit.

NH0001023: Arwood Corporation is located in Tilton, New Hampshire, and is engaged in
aluminum investment casting (SIC 3361) where the principal metals cast are aluminum,
magnesium and copper. The facility is in the Metal Molding and Casting Category
(Foundries) (40 CFR 464). There are six discharges to the Winnepesaukee River: one
is process wastewater (Outfall 002) and five are untreated noncontact cooling water
and stormwater. Outfall 002 consists of acid rinse, process washout, slurry mix and
washdown, and treatment is by hexavalent chromium reduction, neutralization, settling,
and flocculation. The treated wastewater from Outfall 002 combines with noncontact
cooling water and stormwater and discharges from Outfall 001. Average discharge rates
at each outfall are unknown, but the permit imposes maximum flow limits at each
outfall. The flow limit at Outfall 001 is the combined flow of Outfalls 001 and 002.
Effluent limits at Outfall 002 for copper, chromium, TSS and turbidity are based on
previous permit limits. Zinc limits are set similar to those of other toxic metals in
the permit by BRJ. Oil and grease and aluminum are limited according to State
certification requirements needed to meet water quality standards. Hexavalent
chromium limits are higher than those of the previous permit, pursuant to 40 CFR
122.44(l)(2)i, and limits on TTO are a technology transfer of BAT effluent guidelines
from the Metal Finishing Category. At all outfalls the lower limit on pH
is below the state water quality limit, but was modified to be a function of the low
pH of the intake water. There is no requirement for a BiMP Plan or biomonitoring
included in the permit.

NH0001279: Dartmouth Woolen Mills, Inc. of Claremont, New Hampshire, is a
manufacturer of textile fabrics consisting of pure wool, wool-synthetic blends, and
pure synthetics (SIC 2231). Pure synthetic production accounts for 20% of total
operations which include stock dyeing, blending, carding, spinning, yarn preparation,
weaving, piece dyeing, and fabric finishing. The facility's production rate is 28,000
pounds per day finished woven fabric and discharge is from two outfalls. Outfall 001A
contains 20,000 gpd noncontact cooling water which discharges directly to Sugar River
without treatment. (Xitfall 002A consists of 600,000 gpd process wastewater from
textile manufacturing processes and treatment is by screening and neutralization.
Discharge from Outfall 002A has been to a city sewer since 1982, but an interceptor
leads to a POTW and the facility will begin discharge to the POIW from Outfall 002A
upon completion of construction (expected in 1987). The facility is in the Textile
Mills Category (40 CFR 410) and production is divided among three subcategories: low
water use - 45%; wool finishing - 80%; and woven fabric finishing - 20%. Effluent
limitations for BOD, COD, phenol, sulfide and total chromium are based on BPT/BAT
effluent guidelines. TSS limits are previous permit limits and limits on pH and
temperature are based on State water quality standards. Currently, the receiving
water is not achieving water quality standards; however, the construction of the POTW
and elimination of discharge from Outfall 002A, will bring the segment into compliance.

NH0001325: CTE Sylvania, in Hillsboro, New Hampshire is engaged in the manufacture of
miniature light bulbs and lighting products for the electronics and automotive
industries (SIC 3641). There are no national effluent limitation guidelines that
apply to this manufacturing facility which has two discharges to an unnamed tributary
to the North Branch, Contoocook River. Outfall 001 consists of untreated wash and
rinse water, noncontact cooling water, and stormwater runoff; Outfall 002 is sanitary
wastewater where sludge is treated by chlorination and wet oxidation. Flow values at
Outfall 001 ranged from 37,000 gpd to 129,600 gpd and at Outfall 002 from 18,000 gpd
to 40,000 gpd during 1983. Effluent limitations on temperature and TSS at Outfall
001, and on BOD, TSS, and settleable solids at Outfall 002, are previous permit
limits. Limits on oil and grease at Outfall 001, pH (both outfalls) and fecal
coliform at 002 are based on State certification requirements needed to meet
water quality standards. Monitoring requirements on other parameters in the permit
are effective for one year after issuance of the permit to develop an adequate
database by which a decision can be made whether actual limits are necessary. There
is no requirement for biomonitoring or a BMP Plan included in the permit.

NH0001341: General Electric Company located in Hooksett, New Hampshire, is engaged in
the manufacture of jet aircraft engine hardware for military and commercial
applications (SIC 3724). The facility is in the Metal Finishing Category (40 CFR 433)
and discharges to Peters Brook. Outfall 002 consists of 3,500 gpd untreated
noncontact cooling water and Outfall 003 is 7,500 gpd process wastewater treated by
chemical precipitation and neutralization. Sludge is treated by gravity thickening,
then landfilled. After treatment, wastewater from 003 combines with noncontact
cooling water (62,000 gpd) from Outfall 001 prior to discharge. During the first
quarter of 1985, the facility will begin recycling the treated process wastewater, so
flow from Outfall 003 will no longer be continuous. At that time, effluent
limitations will not change; however, the facility must report the frequency of
discharge from Outfall 003. The basis for limitations at the facility is as follows:
iron, TSS, oil and grease, and pH - State certification requirements; daily maximum
nickel and chromium, TTO (at Outfall 003), and average zinc - BAT effluent guidelines;
and limits on the remaining pollutants - water quality standards which are more
stringent than national guidelines. Monitoring requirements for toxic pollutants at
Outfall 001 and 002 are imposed to better document the concentration of these
substances and to assure that the combined discharge from the facility satisfies water
quality standards. After reviewing data on these tests, requirements for these
parameters may be modified. Requirements for a BMP Plan are not included in the
permit; however, toxicity testing and analysis of 18 parameters (hardness, TSS, TOC,
COD, residual chlorine, cadmium, total and hexavalent chromium, copper, lead, nickel,
silver, zinc, iron, aluminum, total cyanide, ammonia, and pH) is required once per
month during July and August of the first year on the combined discharge from the
three outfalls to further evaluate effects of plant discharge on aquatic life, and
determine if monitoring requirements at each outfall shall be modified. Toxicity
testing procedures must be approved by EPA's New England Regional Laboratory,
Technical Support Branch.

NH0021148: Janco Incorporated, located in Rollinsford, New Hampshire, is a small
manufacturing facility engaged in the production of printed circuit boards,
electromechanical/component assembly, and the fabrication and molding of plastic parts
(SIC 3079, 3679). Discharge from two outfalls at the facility is to an unnamed
tributary of Rollins Brook. Outfall 001 consists of process wastewater and has a
maximum flow rate of 43,200 gpd and Outfall 002 consists of noncontact cooling water
where maximum flow is 24,000 gpd. No treatment of the effluent is specified.
Effluent limitations on cadmium, copper, lead, nickel, zinc, and cyanide are based on
national water quality criteria (49 FR 4551 and 45 FR 79318) and TSS and TTO are based
on BFT/BAT effluent guidelines in the Metal Finishing Category (40 CFR 433).
Triethanolamine, formaldehyde, butyl cellosolve and butyl carbitol are present in the
effluent at Outfall 001, so by BRJ, these organics have been added to the list of TTO.
Oil and grease and pH limits at both outfalls are based on State certification
requirements needed to meet water quality standards. Monthly acute toxicity testing
(biomonitoring), measured by 48 hour static tests using Daphnia pulex as the test
organism, at Outfall 001 is required because toxicity tests continue to show the
effluent has potential to be toxic to aquatic life. There is no BMP Plan included in
the permit.

treated process wastewater from aluminum etching, chromating, and tumbling operations.
Process wastewater treatment techniques are not specified; both discharges from the
facility are to an unnamed tributary to the Merrimack River. Effluent limits for TSS
are based on BPT effluent guidelines and the limit on TTO is based on BAT for this
category. The limitations for chromium and cyanide are based on water quality
standards because the dilution available in the receiving water is so low that
effluent guidelines limits would violate water quality criteria. Limits on oil and
grease, aluminium, iron, pH, and temperature are based on State certification
requirements needed to meet water quality standards. Application data indicated the
presence of lead, zinc, and copper above background levels, so monitoring requirements
on these pollutants have been imposed. There is no requirement for a BMP Plan or

(.307 mgd) and Outfall 002 (.131 mgd) to the Passaic River. Outfalls 003 & 004
discharge in-plant storm water, and Outfall 005 discharges in-plant and municipal
storm water. The basis for ME limitations is a BPJ extension of existing permit
limits and a decision that EPT=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 CCD greater than 25 mg/1 must not be discharged directly to the receiving waterway.
Quality assurance monitoring practices require that duplicate and spiked samples be
run on 5% of the samples or at least on one sample per month. External quality
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 permit.
The permit contains a reopener clause for toxic effluent limitations.

NJ0000787: Octagon process, inc., operates a chemical blending and packaging facility, in Eigevater, New
jersey. There is no effluent guidelines category for this facility. The facility receives incoming chemicals
by truck in a yard equipped with a drainage system to divert spills to the facility's vastevater collection
system. Liquid chemicals received at the facility are pumped from the delivery area to indoor storage tanks.
No manufacturing activities occur at this facility. A large portion of the process waste (consisting of
initial vashdovns of blend tanks, chemical spillage fran the delivery area, residues and spills of products
such as chlorinated solvents, phenols, etc., and contents of floor drains in the liquid and dry blending
packaging, and storage areas) is collected and stored in tvo 5400 gallon stainless steel tanks for renoval by
a can tract hauler. The portion of the waste not removed for offsite disposal enters the plant's stormvater
sever system (approximately 4100 gpd) for discharge to the Hudson River, Outfall 001 consists of stormvater
runoff, groundvater infiltration, ard vastevater from steam cleaning of delivery truck hoses (1600 gpd).
Cutfall 002 includes vessel and equipment vashvater, boiler blcwdcwn, ncncontact cooling vater, stormvater,
ani groundvater (2500 gpd). Sanitary vastevater is routed to the Eigevater wastevater Treatment plant,
limitations for BOD, TSS, and oil and grease are based on interstate Sanitation Commission (ISC) vater quality
regulations. The limitation for surfactants is BPJ and is based on existing mcnitoring data. Monitoring
requirements for volatile organics, pesticides, heavy metals, toxicty, and IDC are BPJ and based on analytical
results indicating their presence in the vastewater. A schedule of compliance calls for development of a EMP
plan to be submitted with the reneval application by October 15, 1986. The EMP plan is to reflect the
guidance set forth by the EPA. Three specific conditions are also included: 1) development of a detailed
description of the vastevater segregation and collection practices currently employed at the facility, 2)
installation of a flew measurement device for accurate measurement of the total volune of discharged
wastevater, and 3) development of a management program and/or treatment system to prevent or reduce the amount
of toxic pollutants being discharged. Blcmonitoring, consisting of the 96-hour test performed once per
quarter for a period of one year, is required.

consumer goods include antiperspirant, shaving cream, hair remover, liver pills, and
animal shampoos (SIC 2834). In addition to the formulating operations, research is
perfomed on new prescription drugs (Wallace Lab) and consumer products (Carter Lab).
The facility is in the Pharmaceuticals Manufacturing Category (40 CFR 439), and has
three wastestreams. Outfall 001 is sanitary wastewater (0.053 mgd) and Outfall 002 is
process wastewater (0.072 mgd); both receive biological treatment separately. Outfall
003 is untreated noncontact cooling water (0.308 mgd). The three outfalls are combined
prior to discharge from an unspecified outfall to Cranbury Brook. The limits are based
on the following: 001—BPJ in order to comply with surface water quality standards for
Cranbury Brook; 002—BPJ for the same reason as above (COD, DO, phosphorous, copper,
ammonia), and limits required by the permittee's 1975 Construct and Operate Permit
No. IND-R-74-6-1 (flow, BCD-5, TSS, pH, total chromium, zinc); 003—federal
EPA regional giiidanru=> for noncontact cooling water. Mass limits for 001 and 002 are
calculated using flows of 0.08 mgd and 0.10 mgd, respectively. The permit has been
modified to incorporate discharges to groundwater from the process wastewater treatment
plant via two unlined equalization basins, two sludge drying beds with underdrains, two
unlined aerated lagoons, and a stormwater retention basin; groundwater discharge from
the sanitary treatment plant is via sand filters. Groundwater monitoring is to be
conducted at seven wells at various locations near the lagoons, sludge beds, and
equilization basins on the facility property. Ninety-six (96) hour flow through or

neutralization, and settling. Effluent limits on copper and antimony are based on
proposed BAT effluent guidelines. Other limitations are based on BPJ concentration
limits considering the level of treatment at the facility, and mass limitations in
the permit were derived using average daily flow rate of 0.5 mgd and maximum flow rate
of 1.0 mgd. Limits on fluoride, chromium, lead, TSS, TOC, and COD are BRJ limits
based on the highest average monthly and maximum daily values reported during a one
year period. A BMP Plan to control spill and leaks of hazardous substances,
specifically addressing the adequacy of containment of spills in the outdoor storage
area, is required to be implemented within one year of the effective date of the
permit. Biomonitoring in the form of 96 hour flow-through or static renewal tests is
required once per quarter; however, if the first four tests show no toxicity, this
requirement may be modified.

chemicals for electroplating and metal finishing industries. The manufacture of
nickel sulfate and copper sulfate comprises the majority of plant production (SIC
2819). The facility is in the Inorganic Chemicals Category (40 CFR 415) and has two
discharges to Woodbridge Creek. Process wastewater consisting of filtrate from
purification, tank washdowns, and housekeeping combines with stormwater and discharges
from Outfall 002 at an average rate of 0.05 mgd. Treatment is by neutralization,
metal flocculation, and settling. A separate batch system performs cyanide
destruction prior to discharge to the plant treatment system. Outfall 001 has a flow
of 0.15 mgd and consists of untreated noncontact cooling water. The basis for
effluent limitations at Outfall 002 is as follows: TSS, cobalt, zinc, and cyanide
(total and oxidiza'ole) - previous permit limits; fecal coliform and BOD - Interstate
Sanitary Commission water-quality standards; copper and nickel - BRJ with guidance
from the Development Document for Inorganic Chemicals. Limits at 001 are
previous permit limits and temperature limits at both outfalls are based on water
quality standards. A compliance schedule requires copper and selenium limits to be
achieved six months from the effective date of the permit and a BMP Plan must be in

production is reported in the 1979 application form to be 1350 tpd of nitric acid ard 501,000 lb/day of
aniline. The facility falls in two effluent guidelines categories: Organic Chemicals t-tenufacturing (40 CFR
414) and Inorganic chauicals Manufacturing (40 CFR 415). There are seven regulated discharges to the Delaware
River: Outfall 001 consists or 18 ntgd of treated process waste veter ard norxxntact cooling vater discharged
during lew tides; Outfalls 002-006 consist of a total of 17 mgd untreated nanccntact cooling weter; ard
Outfall 007 oontains 10 mgd of untreated stonnvater runoff and ncroontact cooling water discharged only
during low tides. Treatment of process waste consists of steam stripping, automatic FH control, and settling.
The BPJ limitations are a result of negotiations in 1982 between NJtEP, the Delaware River Basin Osmmission
(DRBC) ard Dupont. The basis for the effluent limitations at Outfall 001 are as follows: flow, temperature,
BOD, organic nitrogen, nitrate, nitrite, and monthly total carbon - the existing permit; concentration limits
for TSS, oil and grease, armcnia, first stage oxygen demand, and pH - ERBC requirements; mass limits for
arrmonia and phenols (limits for phenols are consistent with a vastelcad allocation developed by NJEEP) -
analysis of past monitoring data. The limitations for flow, temperature, ard pH at the ranaining outfalls are

the limitations at Outfall 001 is as follows: BOD, TSS, TDS, color, fecal coliform,
oil and grease, - DRBC requirements; temperature - past monitoring data; maximum
TSS, phenol, bis(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate, acrolein, vinyl chloride, and cyanide -
proposed BFT/BAT guidelines (Subpart B); acrylonitrile and hexavalent chromium - BPJ;
and Biomonitoring - New Jersey regulations. The limitations on stormwater discharges
from Outfalls 002-007 are based on DRBC requirements and EPA guidance. Toxic
pollutant limitations are based on BPJ. The permit also approves the discharge of
0.60 mgd of treated process wastewater to an infiltration/percolation polishing lagoon

NJ0005746: Asarco. Inc. operates an ilmenite surface mine in Lakehurst, New Jersey,
(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 (FeTiO ) is a heavy iron-
black mineral used as an ore for titanium (SIC 1099, Metal Ores, NBC). 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 settling pond before discharge at CXitfall 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/1 (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 streams in the area. The pH of the effluent
may not be lower 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
permit is to allow Peerless to switch the discharge from 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 II guidance for cooling and
stormwater discharge consistent with a 401 determination (memo 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, copper and BOD. 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 permit, 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.

NJ0030406: Tomah Products. (Specialties Division /Exxon Chemical Americas) is
located in Pedricktown, New Jersey. The facility is in the Organic Chemicals
Manufacturing Category (40 CFR 414) producing asphalt additives, emulsifiers, and
amines (SIC 2869). Plant discharges are to Zone 5 of the Delaware River. Outfall 001
consists of process wastewater and stormwater runoff (0.28 mgd), and 002 consists of
groundwater decontamination discharge. The treatment system is being upgraded to include,
when completed, an oil/water separator, above-ground storage and treatment
tank, dual media filters, and a carbon adsorption system. The treatment system was to
be completed and operational by 3/29/85, and final limitations were to be met by
6/29/85. Limitations for pH, TSS, oil and grease, ammonia, lead, zinc, and color are
based on DRBC regulations. Nickel, volatile organics, and CCD limitations are BP J, and
the phenols limitations are from the previous permit. The flow limitation is
the design capacity of the facility's intended treatment system. Surface water
quality standards for the Delaware River apply to turbidity, dissolved oxygen, and
alkalinity. Four flow through or 96-hr static renewal LC50 bioassay tests are to be
performed quarterly, the first to have been initiated no later than 9/29/84. For
receiving tidal waters having a salinity less than or equal to 1 ppt, the fathead
minnow is the recommended test organism; for salinity > 1 ppt, the mysid shrimp is
recommended. If the bioassays show > 10% fish mortality or > 15% invertebrate
mortality, additional tests shall be conducted. The permit has been modified to
include a permit for an infiltration/percolation lagoon with discharges to
groundwaters of the Cape May Formation, and a groundwater monitoring (10 wells) and
decontamination program. A standard reopener clause is included.

NM0028754: Kerr McGee Nuclear Corporation operates the Marquez Mine and is engaged in
the mining of uranium deposits (SIC 1094) in the Canon de Marquez located in the
southeast corner of McKinley County in New Mexico. The project is designed to produce
6.8 million pounds of L^Og at a rate of 800 tons of ore per day. Surface water
discharged from the mine for dewatering purposes flows at an average rate of 0.005 mgd
from Outfall 001 to an unnamed tributary to Aqua del Canon seco Arroyo and is treated
in settling ponds to reduce suspended solids. Effluent limitations at Outfall 001 are
based on NSPS for the Uranium, Radium, and Vanadium Ores Subcategory in the Ore Mining
and Dressing Category (40 CFR 440.34 Subpart C). Additional monitoring requirements
are also imposed to evaluate the effects of the discharge on the water quality of the
receiving stream. This permit required an environmental assessment of the impact on
all media, and no significant long-term impacts were reported. The area will be
reclaimed after the mining activity ceases. A BMP Plan and biomonitoring requirements
are not included in the permit.

NY0000345: FMC Corp. of Middleport, New York, manufactures carbofuran,
dithiocarbamate pesticides, and other products (SIC 2869) in the Pesticides
Manufacturing Category (40 CFR 455). Process wastewater, contaminated surface runoff;
and utility/maintenance water are routed to an equalization lagoon before receiving
treatment which includes multimedia filtration, carbon adsorption, ion exchange, and
chemical precipitation. The treated wastewaters are stored in a holding tank until
discharged through 001A; sludge receives gravity thickening and vacuum filtration
before disposal in a landfill. 001B consists of uncontaminated stormwater runoff, and
is combined with 001A prior to a discharge of 0.17 mgd through Outfall 001 to an
unnamed tributary of Jeddo Creek. CUtfall 001C is the receiving stream at a weir
located downstream from discharge 001. Monitoring samples will be collected at 001
when at least 72,000 gallons of treated wastewater are discharged through 001A; if,
during a sampling week, the volume is not at or above this value, samples for the day
with the largest volume of discharge will be analyzed. If there is no discharge at
001A, no samples will be taken. Permit limitations are based on the following: (1)
BPJ determination of BAT (nitrogen, ammonia (as N), total phenolics, total
dithiocarbamates, carbofuran, total arsenic, total zinc); (2) BPJ determination of BCT
(ph); (3) water quality criteria (flow ratio, temperature); (4) limits of detection
(4,4'-DDT, 4,4'-DDE, 4,4'-DDD, a- and b-endosulfan, mercury). Action levels have been
included for pollutants present at levels not requiring limits; the permit is subject
to reopening for consideration of revised action levels or for the addition of limits
if the action levels are exceeded. The facility is required to submit a waste flow
measurement and analysis report for specified pollutants by 4/1/86, and a BMP plan by
7/1/86 as outlined in the permit. Bioassays are not required.

NY0000574: The G.M. Corp., Chevrolet Motor Division plant in Tonawonda, NY (Niagara
Falls/Buffalo area), is located on the Tonawanda Channel of the Niagara River 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
Manufacturing Category (40 CRF 420) and the Foundries Category (40 CFR 464).
Production is as follows: Steel forgings (468 tpd); grey iron castings (1,450 tpd);
engines (8,550/day). Outfall 001 currently is the total plant flow (24.3 mgd) from
general manufacturing process water, cooling water, and stormwater runoff. 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 Niagara River. The rationale for net TSS, temperature, oil and
grease, iron, antimony, lead, nickel, zinc, cyanide and phenols limits is BPJ to protect
water quality. The pH limit is based on BCT and the limits on the remaining
pollutants are action level requirements which, if exceeded, will result in
reconsideration of water quality and technology based limits. TSS is limited on a net
basis because of the presence of significant quantities in the influent from the
Niagara River. A BMP plan also is required within 8 months of the effective date.

NY0001635: The 01 in Corporation plant in Niagara Falls, NY, is in the Inorganic
Chemicals Manufacturing Category (40 CFR 415), (SIC 2812, 2813 & 2819) and produces
the following chemicals: (1) a chlor-alkali facility producing chlorine gas,
hydrogen, and sodium hydroxide by the electrolysis of sodium chloride, (2) sodium
methylate by reacing a sodiunv/mercury amalgam with methanol to produce sodium
methylate and methyl alcohol, (3) calcium hypochlorite in which sodium hydroxide is
chlorinated, mixed with lime, and further chlorinated to produce HTH (High Test
Hypochlorite), and (4) sodium 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 (2.8 mgd), 004 (2.2 mgd), and 005 (2.4 mgd) are all 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/1 of priority pollutants and, on occasion, exceeds 40,000 ug/1. The contaminants
are principally volatile chlorinated hydrocarbon priority pollutants.
Trichloroethylene and tetrachloroethylene are present in concentrations up to 1,000
ug/1 each. Dichloroethylenes, chloroform, trichloroethane, and tetrachloroethane are
present in concentrations up to 500 ug/1 each. Olin proposes to treat the
contaminated well water with carbon adsorption to reduce the total mass discharge of
organic priority pollutants to less than 30 lb/d. Under the final permit conditions,
the volatile priority pollutants are limited to 7 lb/day (all values are daily maximum
limitations). These limits reflect BAT and water quality considerations established
by the State. A BMP Plan is required within 6 months, and the schedule of compliance
calls for engineering plans by 10/01/83, complete construction by 5/01/84, and
attainment of operational limits by 7/01/84.

NY00CJ2160: 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 NY0011043). 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 1 lb/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.

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 (CI vat
Blue 20%), dye intermediates, alkyl anilines, resin chemicals, and food, drug and
cosmetic color dyes (FD 6- C Colors). It is this country's major domestic producer of
indigo dye used in blue jeans. All process wastewaters originating from this
facility, and from the adjacent Allied Chemical Corp. plant (see abstract NY0002160)
are pretreated before being discharged to the Buffalo Sewage Authority Systen. The
facility discharges non-contact cooling water and small amounts of boiler blowdown and
steam condensate through Outfalls 006 and 011 (design-20 rngd, total actual-15 mgd).
These discharges receive no treatment before being discharged to the Buffalo River
Non-contact cooling water cones from 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 system 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. TOC is limited by mass as an
indicator pollutant for toxics. A BMP plan is not required.

NY0003310: The DXiner-Banna Qpke joint venture of Burfalo, ny, is in the By-product CSke Subcategory of the
Iron and Steel Manufacturing category (40 CFH 420.10 Subpart A). The plant produces 3,006 tpd of coke (SIC
3312) with recovery of light oils and ccel tars and the production of sulfuric acid, amroruun sulfate, and
sodiun fhenolate. Outfall 001 discharges the ocnbined flew ot 14.1 mgd to the Niagara River consisting of
process wastewater, indirect cooling and ccrdensate, blowdo-ns, arri site runoff. The basis for final
effluent limits is (i) B^T/ECr effluent guidelines for this subcategory, (2) BPJ, and (3)
water quality criteria for BCD, NH3, CN, phenols, temperature, fluoranthene, toluene, Se, sulfide, hydrazine,
and the oooling towir biocide 2,2-dibrano-3-NicrilopropionaTude. Net limits are imposed for 10 pollutants,
interim ST limits were established until June 30, 1982, with the majority of toxic pollutants limited at
previous levels, except for hydrazine and the biocide Vvhich must ocmply with final limits at the effective
date. The final limits are substantially more stringent than the interim linits. Fbur toxic pollutants,
which are reported present but below water quality and technology-based requirements, require semi-annual
monitoring to determine the following "Gross Reporting levels" (in lb/d), exceedance of vJiich requires state
notification and verification sampling: Arsenic (0.5), 1,1-Dichlorcethylene (0.2, net), heptachlor (Oj02),
arri Methylene Chloride (61X), net). A BMP plan is required, with special consideration for NHj, benzene,
toluene, xylene, cresol, and fhenol. The permittee also is responsible, under state regulation, for annual
prepayment of the state's heightened sampling and analysis program of the discharge, ihe schedule of
ocmpliance calls for (1) an engineering report by 1-1-83, (2) plans and specifications by 3-1-83, (3) start
construction by 5-1-83, (4) complete construction by 6-1-84 and attain operational levels by 7-1-84, (5) the
Hip plan in 6 months, (6) implementation of non-structural EMP measures in 12 months, and (7) submittal of a
proposed plan of study in 3 months to monitor arri assess the impact on ground and surface water quality of
coal pile operations.

NY0003328: The E.I. DuPont plant in Niagara Falls, New York, is in the Inocganic
Chemicals Manufacturing Category (40 CFR 415), the Organic Chemicals Manufacturing
Category (40 CFR 414). The plant produces sodium metal and chlorine by the
electrolysis of molten salt (SIC 2819); metal cyanides for the electroplating industry
by the reaction of sodium cyanide with the metal chlorides or sulfates; a polyester by
condensation of a dicarboxylic acid with a diol (SIC 2812), variety of grades of
polymeric organic intermediates in large volume, and a number of smaller volume
products for the metals and electronics industries (SIC 2869). Production figures are
confidential. Water used at the facility is obtained from the Niagara River (17 mgd,
no well water contaminated with organics is used) and the city water supply (1 mgd)
for process water. River water is used for cooling and gas scrubbing and is
chlorinated prior to use for control of bacterial growth. The facility has four
active discharges, all of which flow to the Niagara River. Discharge 001 (5.5 mgd) is
from the sodium metal process and flows to the river through the Industrial Diversion
Sewer, a city-owned sewer that empties into the Niagara River below the Falls.
Discharge 004 (4.7 mgd) is from the polymeric intermediate organic production site,
Discharge 005 (0.18 mgd) is from the boiler house, and Discharge 006 (3.0 mgd) is used
to condense and cool chlorine. Only 0.14 mgd out of the total flow discharged to the
river is treated. This is washwater from the polymer process which has COD removed by
pyrolysis and is neutralized and centrifuged before joining Discharge 004. Process
wastes from electronics, boiler, air conditioning, polyester glycol, polyester glycol,
and sodium metal operations as well as sanitary wastes are discharged to the city
treatment plant. Sludge from polymer process treatment plant is landfilled. A total
of 22 organic and 9 metal priority pollutants have been identified for special semi-
annual reporting requirements in which exceedance of mass discharge levels shall
require notification, verification sampling, and if appropriate, revised 2C
application. A BMP Plan is required by the compliance schedule in 6 months, with
implementation of non-structural measures in 12 months and completion of construction
of structural measures by June 30, 1984.

wastewater, treated by flotation, is discharged through Outfall 001 to the Mohawk
River. A portion of the wastewater is routed through discharge point "A" to a POTW.
Temperature, pH, and selenium limits are based on water quality criteria, and BCD-5
and suspended solids limits are a Bfil determination of BCT using Subparts S,
Nonintegrated-Tissue Papers Subcategory, and T, Tissue from Wastepaper Subcategory, as
guidance. Phase II, when all of the treated wastewaters are discharged through
Outfall 001, will begin upon NYDEC approval of a written request to commence Phase II
discharges. Phase II permit limits must be attained concurrent with Phase II
operations. Phase I operations, routing a portion of the wastewaters to a POTW, will
then cease. The permit allows pH excursions for pH under conditions of continuous
monitoring (40 CFR 401.17). Biomonitoring requirements and a BMP plan are not
included.

NY0011043: 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 NY0002160). PVS Chemicals, Inc. purchased sulfuric acid and oleum
manufacturing facilities from Allied Chemical in October 1981. The facility
discharges non-contact cooling water, boiler blowdown, 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 Corporation, 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/1 based on alkaline precipitation and
settling. Antimony concentrations of 1 mg/1 for 002 and BOD concentrations of 230
mg/1 for 001 and 276 mg/1 for 002 were discovered during a state survey. The source
of these pollutants is unknown. A BMP 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.

NY0102318: " 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 systsn. 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 arrmonia 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 arrmonia and sulfides
are based on achieving state water quality standards after dilution of 2.0 mg/1 at pH
8.0 for ammonia and a water quality limit of 1.0 mg/1 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/1 to 2.0/4.0 mg/1; all
other parameters remain unchanged.

ND0G00248: The Amoco Oil Company refinery in Mandan, ND (central area of state,
across the Missouri River from Bismarck) is in the Topping and Cracking Subcategories
of the Petroleum Refining Category (43 CFR 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. Treatment consists of API separator, oil recovery, neutralization,
1agoon, various settling pits, 11 septic tanks, and a series of 11 cascade ponds which
are inhabited by wildlife. The basis for BCT/BAT limitations are the following BPJ
determinations: (1) 80% of BPT mass limits per 40 CFR 419.22 and 419.31 using 60,000
bbl/d production, a size factor of 1.04 and a process factor of 0.88 which yields
production factot>-6f 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
implementation schedule is required.

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 water 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 quality
standards and is consistent with the general guidelines. Mercury and chlorine
residual at monitoring point 600 are BAT (effective 7/1/84). A schedule of compliance
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.

OH0000957: Republic Steel Corporation, Cleveland District in Cleveland, Ohio, is an
integrated steel plant producing zinc-coated sheets and coil; bar products; both hot
and cold rolled sheets, coil and strip; and coke plant by-products (SIC 3312) in the
Iron and Steel Manufacturing Category (40 CFR 420). The facility has eight internal
outfalls and thirteen outfalls which directly discharge to the Cuyahoga River.
Qjtfall 009 is a discharge from operations, at two coke plants which are only part of
the facility's total operations. Coke Plant #1 produces 2,782 tons per day, and Coke
Plant #2 produces 1,613 tons per day and two streams from these plants combine and
discharge from Outfall 009. Internal Outfall 609 consists of 0.199 mgd process
wastewater from the two plants and internal Outfall 610 is 0.023 mgd process
wastewater from an intercepting sump at the two coke plants. During normal
conditions, the effluent from 610 is recycled for coke quenching at both plants, but
is discharged when there is no demand for quench water. Internal Outfall 606 is at
the coke plant treatment facility where treatment is by chemical oxidation and
precipitation, coagulation, flocculation, rapid sand filtration and carbon adsorption.
Sludge treatment is by chemical conditioning, pyrolysis, and gravity filtration
followed by landfilling. Effluent limitations at Outfall 606 are based on a
production rate of 5989 tons per day. TSS and oil and grease limits are based on
previous permit limits which are more stringent than effluent guidelines. Other
limits are based on BAT effluent guidelines (420.13). A schedule of compliance calls
for limits to be achieved at Outfall 606 by May 1, 1986. Outfall 009 consists of
discharge from these internal outfalls and an additional 18 mgd stormwater runoff. A
BMP Plan to minimize cokemaking process pollutants is required at this outfall, but
there is no biomonitoring requirement at Outfall 009.

OH00QO965: The Whirlpool Corporation plant in Clyde, Ohio, (N. Central area, 20
miles south o£ Sandusky) is an integrated, multicategory facility producing automatic
washers (SIC 3633). The facility falls into four effluent guidelines categories witn
the following production: Porcelain Enameling (40 CFR 466) (1,199,230 ft2/d), Metal
Finishing (40 CFR 433) (1,142,120 ft2/a), Mechanical Products (no 40 CFR Number)
(2,341,353 ft2/d) and Plastics Molding and Forming ( 43 CFR 463) (64,850 lb/d). Three
outfalls discharge a total of 0.302 rngd to the Raccoon Creek as follows: Outfall 001
- 0.262 mgd of treated process waste from porcelain Enameling, boiler, Press Rocm,
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 sedindentation, a polishing lagoon, with sludge receiving gravity
thickening, vacuum filtration 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 permit does have a reopener
clause pending the promulgation of effluent guidelines. The limits are somewhat less
stringent than the previous BPT permit for B0D5, TSS, and Oil & Grease as a result of
increased production; however, all other limits are identical. Ohio EPA considers the
permit to represent BAT/BCT-BPT.

OK0001031: Conoco Chemical Company, in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, produces polyvinyl
chloride resin by the suspension polymerization of vinyl chloride (SIC 2821) in the
Organic Chemicals and Plastics and Synthetics Category (40 CFR 414). The facility has
a single discharge from Outfall 001, which consists of stormwater runoff, noncontact
cooling water, steam boiler condensate, and process water associated with firewater
tests. Discharge from Outfall 001 is intermittent with a reported maximum flow rate
of 0.224 mgd (minimum of 0.003 mgd), to an unnamed tributary of Crucho Creek.
Treatment of the process wastewater is in stabilization/neutralization ponds. There
is no reported discharge from the ponds. Since the makeup of discharge from 001 is
primarily stormwater, effluent limitations are for nontoxic pollutants only, but
biomonitoring utilizing a static method on 100% effluent is required once per quarter
for a two year period. Organisms shall be Daphnia sp. or Mysidopsis sp. Oil and
grease limits are based on regional guidance for uncontaminated stormwater runoff and
BOD limits are based on water quality standards. Limitations on COD are based on
negotiations between the company and EPA, and reflect levels of past performance at
the facility. There is no BMP Plan included in the permit.

OK0001643: Fansteel Metals, located in Muskogee, Oklahoma, is a facility which
refines tantalum and columbium ores to produce these metals, their alloys and oxides
(SIC 3339). The facility is in the Nonferrous Metals Category (40 CFR 421, Subpart
K), and three outfalls discharge from the facility to the Arkansas River. Process
wastewater treated by ammonia stripping, chemical precipitation with lime,
neutralization, and sedimentation, is discharged from Outfall 001 at a rate of 0.076
mgd. Outfalls 002 and 003 consist of untreated stormwater runoff which flows
intermittently. Because some contamination of this stormwater exists, effluent
limitations are imposed at Outfalls 002 and 003 and these limits are based on BRJ
reflected in an Oklahoma Water Resource Board (CWRB) permit. Effluent limitations at
Outfall 001 for lead, zinc, pH, and ammonia are based on BFT/BAT effluent guidelines.
TSS and fluoride limits are previous permit limits following antibacksliding
provisions. COD limits were derived from data from the CWRB and sulfate limits are
from a CWRB permit. Limits on columbium and tantalum are based on BRJ. Upon
examination of application data, six metals and four organics were reported, so 24 hr
static biomonitoring using 100% effluent is required at Outfall 001 once per quarter
for a period of two years. A BMP Plan is not included in the permit.

kraft pulp and paperooard, Unbleached Kraft Subcategory (Part 430.10), (SIC 4236)—
plywood Subcategory (part 429.30); (SIC 4292)—Particleboard Subcategory (Part
429.130); (SIC 2421)—Savfni 11 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 POTO.
The basis for limitations is a BP J 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 tenperature & turbidity, 100"
wide along south bank by 5' upstream by 1500' downstream from outfall; (2) Outfall
001—for tenperature & turbidity, 100' wide along south bank by 5' upstream by 4000'
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
requires (1) a twice yearly 96 hr static bioassay on 001, (2) a BMP plan and employee
training program for spills and unplanned discharges, (3) a program to reduce fresh
water consumption through recycle, (4) an environmental supervisor be designated, (5)
the log pond cannot be drained without approval, and (6) a special BCT/BAT effluent
guidelines reopener clause is included.

ORQ001589: Tektronix. InCr in Beaver ton, Oregon, is in the Electrical and Electronic
Components Category (40 CFR 469) manufacturing electronic measurement and display
equipment (SIC 3825). Approximately 0.4 mgd of industrial gray water generated from
the integrated circuits process is discharged through Outfall 001 to Beaverton Creek
November 1-April 30; discharges are prohibited during the summer months due to low
stream flows, to avoid possible water quality violations. Gray water is potable,
purified by deionization or reverse osmosis and used for rinsing silicon chips and
wafers. Neutralization and settling are used. Sanitary wastes and integrated
manufacturing process wastewaters, excluding the gray water mentioned above, are then
routed to the Unified Sewerage Agency municipal sewage system for further treatment.
Gray water which cannot meet NPDES permit limits is also diverted to the sanitary
sewer. TSS limits are BPJ. while BCD-5 limits are a combination of BPJ and Oregon
Administrative Rules (340-41-455(i)). TTO and pH limits are based on BCT/BAT effluent
guidelines (40 CFR 469.18, 469.14). All other limits are based on water quality
criteria to protect Beaverton Creek during the allowable discharge period. The permit
does not include requirements for biomonitoring; however it does contain a standard
reopener clause for toxic pollutants.

OPPPO1627: The Hanna Nickel Smelting Co. in Riddle, OR (S.w. corner of State) operates the only nickel mine known to be
working in this country, extracting nickel silicate ore frcm 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, fol lowed by melting and refining by the Ugine Process (the lubrication and insulation of a metal billet with rolten
glass during hot extrusion) into ferronickel. Process wastewater comes frcm wet scrubbers for three ore dryers (300 gpm)
which is settled in an upper pond, with sludge returned to the dryers. The overt low discharges to the middle pond, which
also receives non-contact cooling water, stonnwater runoff frcm portions of the smelter couple*, the reject pile, and the
slag pile. Tailings from the "skull plant" (where crust buildup on ladles is reroved) are sent to a tailings pile, frcm
which liquids also drain to the middle pond. Slag skinmed frcm reaction ladles after ore melting is sprayed with water to
solidify and granulate the slaq, 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
sumer months. The lover 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 Dressing 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 reooener clause is the documented
achievable treafcnent capability of the lower pond system when discharging, and the BPT effluent guidelines for Ore Mining arid
Dressing. A second set of limits becomes effective for CXitfall 001 during the months exceeding 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 331 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 acknowledgnent that past limits
inadequately reflected the attainable treatment levels of Hanna's pond systen. The permit also requires that no violation of
Oregon Water Quality Standards occur outside the mixing zone, defined as Crawford Creek frcm the point o£ 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.

OR0002542: The Weyerhaeuser Co. mill in Klamath Falls, OR (s.w. area of state near
California border) is in the Sawmills and Planing Mills Subcategory of the Timber
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 (Xitfall 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 (presumably BPT) for this category; however, the facility manufactures
hardboard by a wet-dry process and no EPA effluent guidelines pertain to this process.
(Xitfall 003 limits are based on secondary treatment standards. The permit requires a
BMP plan but does not contain a specific reopener clause. Other permit requirements
include (1) nutrient addition to the biological treatment system, (2) creation of a
program to reduce fresh water consumption through recycle, (3) appointment of an
environmental supervisor, (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 diatcmaceous 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 limit 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 allowed to use bioassay
testing in an attsnpt 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 P01W is likely.

Pennsylvania, manufactures motors, generators, and various switchgear (SIC 3621 and
3163). The facility is in the Electrical and Electronic Components Category
(40 CFR 469), discharging roughly 1.3 mgd of untreated water to Turtle Creek. Outfall
004 discharges roughly 0.35 mgd of process and contact cooling waters along with
roughly 0.65 mgd of noncontact cooling and storm runoff waters. Outfall 003 and 005
discharge .07 and .24 mgd of noncontact cooling water, blowdown from cooling towers
and boilers, and storm runoff. Outfall 007 discharges .02 mgd of wastewater from a
brazing/welding operation, a dust collector, a sand blasting operation, and other
nonprocess water. Outfalls 001 and 002 discharge small amounts of nonprocess water,
and discharge is not allowed from Outfalls 006, 008, 010, and 012-015. Effluent
limitations for TSS are based on BPT effluent guidelines, using a EPJ determination
that BCT=BPT. Oil and grease limitations are in accordance with Pennsylvania State
limitations. The remaining parameters are limited by water quality criteria which are
more restrictive than BAT guideline limits. Monitoring for titanium, arsenic, copper,
lead, mercury, nickel, and zinc is to be conducted both at Outfall 004 and a storm
sewer located upstream from the plant. Biomonitoring requirements and a BMP plan are
not mentioned in the permit; however the facility is required to submit a Pollution
Reduction Report detailing the source of the copper, mercury, and zinc present in
Outfall 005. The report must also describe the measures taken to eliminate these
pollutants, the implementation schedule, and the effectiveness of the program.

PA.0QQ5673: The Union CaTO plant in V.'as'nington County, Pennsylvania (S.W. of
Pittsburgh) produces corruyated paperboard (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 81 of the treated discharge. The remainder is
non-contact cooling water, boiler blowdown and sanitary wastewater. Treatment is
sedimentation and oil separation of process wastewater followed by packaged activated
s 1 udge 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 quality 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 quality 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 treatabil ity study (Toxics Reduction Plan)
is required for the reduction or elimination of zinc, chloroform and
dichlorobromomethane. The winter limits for ammonia are three times the summer
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 tne 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 treabrent. 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 commission 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 Category (40 CFR 413 Subpart A,
-Electroplating of Comnon Metals). Production is 4,980 nr/day. Process wastewater
(0.25 mgd) is discharged at Outfall 001 following chemical treatment to the Schuylkill
River (Q7_]_0 = 160 cfs). Treatment proposed consists of wastestream segregation;
continuous chemical oxidation of cyanide wastes; continuous chemical reduction of
chromium 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 effluent guidelines (40 CFR 413.12, revised as of July 1, 1980) using a
flow of 0.25 mgd. All values were compared 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 was used to assign the water quality limit. Aluminum limits were
set by BPJ using 1.0/2.0 mg/1 as requested by the company, although the company
actually reported a level of 0.12 mg/1. Maximum daily limits were set using a peaking
factor of 2X. The permit contains a reopener clause, and the schedule of compliance
calls for completion of unspecified construction by February 1982, and attainment of
operational limits by May 1982.

PR0023451: The Warner-Lambert. Inc. plant in Vega Baja, P.R., (25 miles west of San
Juan 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 gpd; 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 CCD. The water quality requirements are judged to be equal to or more
stringent than BCT/BAT. The requirements for chloroform, methylene chloride, zinc,
phenol, TSS and COD are determined based on BPJ to be attainable through application
of BCT/BAT. The permit contains a standard reopener clause for toxic pollutants, and
a schedule of compliance. The facility is required to comply with final permit

RI0000043: Bradford Dyeing Associates, Inc., of Bradford, RI, is in the Textile Mi 1 Is
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 lbs/day of cloth results in an average total
discharge to Outfall 001 of 1.6 myd. Treatment of process wastes includes
equalization followed by activated sludge treatment in an aerobic lagoon with aerobic
digestion of sludge, and treatment in a fina1 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 remaining pollutants. Production at the
facility is expected to increase to 100,000 lbs/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 lbs/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.

RI0001180: GTE Products Corp. of Central Falls, Rhode Island, manufactures blown
glassware, lamp envelopes, vacuum bottle liners and decorating fixtures (SIC 3229) in
the Glass Manufacturing Category (40 CFR 426). A single discharge consisting of
cooling and process waters is from Outfall 001 to the Blackstone River. Treatment of
the wastewater is not described in the facility's permit and/or fact sheets. Permit
limitations are based on State water quality regulations. Specific pollutants will be
monitored for one year after which time a review of the data may result in a sampling
schedule alteration and/or the addition of limits. A schedule of compliance requires
the submittal of an engineering study to reduce fluoride in Outfall 001 wastewaters by
5/18/86. Two sets of bioassays. the first submitted by 7/15/86 and the second by
1/15/87, will be conducted to determine the acute effluent toxicity (if any) to water
fleas and fathead minnows for a duration of 48 and 96 hours, respectively. The tests
will be for the determination of 90% survival and LC50, and may be static unless a
loss of dissolved oxygen due to high BOD warrants the use of replacement or flow-
through procedures. A portion of each sample used for the toxicity testing will be
analyzed for priority pollutants as listed in 40 CFR 122, Appendix D, Tables II & III.
The above procedures reflect requirements established in the State's Water Quality
Regulations for Water Pollution Control (1984). Appendix C.

RI0021164: Phi lip 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 then 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 tne precipitate in a settling
tank, and neutralization with hydrochloric acid before discharge. Sanitary waste is
routed to a POTVJ. The mass and concentration limitations at Outfall 001 are BPJ in
the absence of promulgated effluent guidelines for Organic Chemicals. With 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 silver
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.

SC0000914: Venture Chemicals, Inc.. of Lobeco, South Carolina, manufactures synthetic
organic chemical intermediates for use in dye manufacturing, and specialty chemicals
(SIC 2865) in the Organic Chemicals and Plastic and Synthetic Fibers Category
(40 CFR 414). Plant operations result in a single discharge from Outfall 001 to
Campbell Creek to Whale Branch, consisting of process, sanitary, and cooling waters.
Wastewater treatment processes include neutralization, aeration, activated sludge, and
chlorination. Sludge is treated with aerobic digestion and drying beds. Limitations
for BCD-5, ammonia, and ultimate oxygen demand (UCD=1.5XBCD-5+4.5X ammonia) are based
on water quality standards, and limits for TSS are based on BPJ. in absence of final
guidelines at the time of permit development. The effluent toxicity and pH limits are
from the previous permit: the bases of limitations for total coliform and chlorine are
not addressed. The permit requires monitoring of several chemicals associated with
the discharge including PCBs, mercury, aniline, cadmium, and 1,2,3-trichlorobenzene.
Discharges from the facility are to occur only on the outgoing tide, and are not to
enter the receiving water less than one-half hour after the tidal outflows begin.
Toxicity is to be measured using Mvsidopsis Bahia during February, June, and October
of each year. A program to improve effluent quality is to be developed to include the
following: (1) 48-hour static tests on oyster larvae, conducted monthly; (2) Survey of
osyter spat in Campbell Creek; (3) Chlorine toxicity evaluation submitted by 9/30/85;
(4) Macroinvertebrate assessment of Campbell Creek, conducted annually in November or
December. In addition, the company is to perform an analysis of oysters for certain
organics and metals. The permit may be modified after promulgation of applicable
guidelines, and evaluation of testing results. A BMP plan is required.

SC00O0990: 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 lb/d in 1982 (SIC 2283, wool mills). Extruded
polypropylene monofilament production, consisting of melting, extruding, and
texturizing, was 25,000 lb/d (SIC 2285, thread mills). Outfall 001 (0.1 mg'd) 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
landfi 1 ling. 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 lb/d
to 200,000 lb/d, but uses less water due to improved counterflow and reduced utility
and boiler 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
lb/d. The BPT production factors used for this permit are the same as the final BAT
production factors; final BCT production factors are not promulgated. 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/1.
Biomonitoring is not required due to a high dilution ratio in the receiving stream.
The reported 96-hr l£50 in the 2C application is 26.5%. No BMP plan is required.

SC0001163: The Greenwood Mi 1 Is Liner Plant, located in Orangeburg, Soutn Carolina, is
in the Textile Mil Is Category (40 CFR 410) and finishes natural ana synthetic textiles
(SIC 22bl and 2262). Production in the Woven Fabric Finishing Subcategory is reported
to be 233,000 lbs/day of finished fabrics. The facility discnaryes through two
outfalls to the North Fork Edisto River as follows: Outfall 001 consists of treated
process water from the aesizing, bleaching, mercerizing, dyeing and finishing
operations and sanitary waste; and Ojtfall 002 consists of well water filter backwash.
Treatment consists of screening, aeration in lagoons, and clarification. Sludge fran
the waste treatment systen 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 maximun TSS 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 downstrean 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
communities in the receiving stream and a BMP plan to control the discharge of oils
and hazardous substances.

SCO0O1843: 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 ef fluent guidel ines category for this facility. Wastewater is discharged at Out-
fall 001 to a water quality limited 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 lime 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. Limits 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/1 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.

SC0002151: 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 CFR
410) ar,d 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 D
- 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 lb/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 10-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/EAT 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 IC50 values ranging from 831 to greater than 100%.

facility is in the Textile Mills Category (40 CFR 410, Subpart D) and has a reported
production rate of 13.5 million pounds bleachery goods per year, and 12.5 million
pounds greige goods per year. Three outfalls discharge to Middle Tyger River and
consist of the following: Outfall 002 - 0.8 mgd process and sanitary wastewater (0.13
mgd sanitary); and Outfall 003 - 0.015 mgd cooling water. Outfalls 001 and 003
directly discharge without treatment; at Outfall 002, treatment is in an equalization
extended aeration system with screening, grit removal, clarification, sand filtration
and chlorination. Sludge treatment is by aerobic digestion and on drying beds.
Temperature limits at Outfalls 001 and 003 are based on water quality standards. The
quantity of goods produced was calculated using the highest monthly average during the
previous year and these production numbers were used in setting limits for sulfide and
COD based on effluent guidelines. Following anti-backslidinq provisions, the limits
on other parameters are previous permit limits. A BMP Plan is required to be
implemented within one year of the effective date of the permit. There is no
biomonitoring requirement since past testing has shown no acute toxicity.

no flow. Wastewaters are treated by equalization, neutralization, aeration, secondary
clarification, and chlorination. Wastewaters receive additional treatment by a
primary clarifier and an FE504 mix chamber during the winter. Sludge is stored on a
three-acre site; if testing performed on a trial tract shows land application to be
environmentally safe, this method of sludge disposal may be used. Limitations for
Outfalls 001 and 004 are based on SCDHEC water quality criteria for noncontact cooling
water, steam condensate, and stormwater; oil and grease limits are from the previous
permit. Limitations for Outfalls 002 and 003 are based on BPJ using the proposed
BPT/BAT guidelines for Subpart B, Plastics Cfcily Subcategory, 414.22 & 414.24.
Guideline concentrations were multiplied by the average flow rates mentioned above.
Temperature limits are from the previous permit. A Bjl£ plan is required.

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 Processing Subcategory
(410.30, Subpart C) is 85,000 lb/d in a Greige Mill and consists of opening,
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/1) are derived
as the average of the following concentrations for each waste stream: Fly ash
wastewater—30/100 rrg/1; water treatment plant wastewater—55/110 mg/1. The permit
was modified on 12-1-79 for Outfall 003 to add mass limits based on a 2-inch rainfall
on the sand filter bed (0.83 mgd) and(l) BOD and TSS concentrations of 30/45 mg/1;
(2) ten-fold higher COD concentrations of 300/450 mg/1; (3) metals concentrations of
0.2/0.5 mg/1; (4) phenols concentrations of 0.5/0.75 mg/1; and (5) sulfide
concentrations of 1.0/1.5 mg/1. The permittee must meet the mass limits 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
compliance schedule, but a BMP plan is required in 6 months, with implementation in
one year. Biomonitoring is not required.

25 miles east of Coluroial is a new source in the Bleached Kraft Subcategory (SIC 2611 & 2621) of the Pulp, Paper and
Paperboard Category (40 CFR 430). Tie facility will be developed in three phases with the following production and
wastewater flows: phase I, 675 tpd in 1984 (12 mgd); phase II, 1425 tpd in 1988 (24 ttgd); and Phase III, 2250 tpd in 1992
(36 mgd). products will Include envelope papers, tablet paper, computer paper and office copy paper. By-products wi 11 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 (300 acres total), and
discharged through two submerged diffusers at Outfall 001 to the Wateree River. Sanitary waste will be treated in a
packaoe plant and discharged at internal Outfall 001A 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. TTie basis for mass limitations is the New Source Performance
Standards (40 CFR Part 430); 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 <31 of river flow at all times during phase I, (2) release can only occur when
river flow is >800 cfs and upstream dissolved oxygen is >5.0 mg/l,and (3) a series of river flow/BOD-5 equations with
upstream dissolved oxygen conditions between 5.0 and 8.0 mg/1 govern the mass discharge of BOO pending the developnent and
calibration of a water quality model by Union Camp. Discharges are allowed at river flows <803 cfs, but river monitoring
must verify that the dissolved oxygen standard of 5.0 mj/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 coranencement of discharge. State
certification and further biological assessment is required at Phases II and III. There are no limits for toxic pollutants,
but a 307(a) reopener clause is included.

TN0001091: DuPont de Nemours and Company, Inc. of Memphis, Tennessee, is in the
Inorganic Chemicals Category (40 CFR 415) and the Organic Chemicals and Plastic and
Synthetics Category (40 CFR 414). The facility is engaged in the manufacture of the
following products: hydrogen cyanide, hydrogen peroxide, sodium perborate, sodium
cyanide, potassium cyanide, acetone cyanohydrin, acrylic sheeting, and methyl
methacrylate (SIC 2819, 2869, and 2821). Process wastewater, noncontact cooling
water, powerhouse and utility effluents, condensate, and stormwater are treated by
mixing, neutralization and skimming prior to discharge from Outfall 001 to the
Loosahatchie River. The discharge is continuous and flows at an average rate of 12
mgd, with maximum discharge of 16 mgd. Since there are no promulgated effluent
guidelines applicable to the discharge, effluent limits on BOD and ammonia are a BFJ
determination of BCT and are the same as the limits of the previous permit. Average
oxidizable cyanide is limited by water quality standards. Limits on maximum
oxidizable cyanide, TSS, and boron are based on the previous permit according to
antibacksliding provisions. Limits on TSS and boron are more stringent than state
effluent limits, and the limit on maximum oxidizable cyanide is more stringent than
water quality standards. Although less stringent than water quality standards,
previous permit limits on chlorine were retained. A bioassay conducted using 100%
effluent indicated 100% survival of fathead minnows and Daphnia magna. There is no
requirement for a BMP Plan or biomonitoring in the permit.

land application and landfill. At Outfall 001, 0.6 mgd is recycled to product
washing. Stormwater is discharged to surface water at Outfalls 002 and 003 and the
rate of flow is variable depending on climatic conditions. Limits at Outfall 001
appear to be based on a BBJ determination for the facility. At Outfalls 002 and 003,
monitoring requirements must be met in order to create a sufficient database at which
time appropriate limits may be assigned. If limits are not set one year from the
effective date of the permit, monitoring requirements for parameters at Outfall 002
and 003 shall become void. A BMP plan and biomonitoring requirements are not included
in the permit since a bioassay performed by the Tennessee Department of Public Health
found no toxicity of the effluent.

fine printing and writing papers (SIC 2621 and 2611) usiny the soda frulp process.
They have a monthly average production of 334 tpd integrated bleached soda-fine papers
(Subpart P) and 382 tpd non- in teg rated fine paper (Subpart Rh 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 (b.l 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 BCO 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) (B).
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.

TN0001759: ASARCO Incorporated, located in Mascot, Tennessee, is in the Zinc Ore
Minina-Cateqorv (40 CFR 440). The facility is engaged in underground mining and
primary crushing of a sphalerite ore (SIC 1031) resulting in a mine dewatering
discharge to the Holston River at Mile 18.5. The permit regulates one outfall - 001.
Approximately 1.45 mgd of discharge water undergoes treatment through a discharge
settling pond prior to being discharged through CXitfall 001. The permit requires
monitoring of flow and regulates TSS, Copper, Zinc, Lead, Mercury, Cadmium and pH.
The basis for the permit limitations are the BPT (=BCT) and BAT guidelines for the
Zinc Subcategory (Subpart J). The limitations for TSS and pH are based on BPT which
equals the previous permit levels and copper and mercury limitations are based on BAT.
Lead and cadmium BAT limits were calculated using treatability information found in
EPA's Development Document for Effluent Limitations Guidelines and Standards for the
Ore Mining and Dressing Point Source Category with zero background concentrations
because the receiving stream already exceeds the water quality criteria for these two
metals, making BAT levels inappropriate. The average BAT limit for zinc exceeds
instream water quality criteria so an effluent criteria that would not damage average
water quality criteria was calculated. Biomonitoring nor BMP's are required, but
there is a standard reopener clause.

sulfate, sulfonated organics, and otners) (SIC 1021, 2tfl9, 23&9, and 287*). There are four effluent guidelines categories
applicable to tnis facility: Ore Mining and Dressing (40 CFR 440), Nonferrous Metals (40 CFR 421), Inorganic Chamcals (40
CFH 415), and Organic CnerucaIs (4u Q'R <14). Outfall 001 consists of the effluent frcm the Cantrell Flats wastewater
treatment plant (internal Outfall 01A), noncontact cooling water, contact cooling water, storm runoff, gypsum pond overflow,
and the effluent frcm a sroU domestic plant (interna 1 Outfa 11 OlB) discharged to Davis Mi 11 Creek. Discharges from the
Cantrell Flats Industrial Treatment Plant (01_A) consist primarily of industrial process wastewater (2.6 mgd) resulting from
copper smelting, sulfuric acid, sulfur dioxide, copper sulfate, sulfonated organics and other chsnical production. Discharge
OlB is the effluent fran the Cantrell Flats Domestic Treatment Plant (design = 10,000 gpd). Outfall 002 discharges to Burra
Burra Creek and consists of 5.7 mjd of process water resulting frcm mining and benefication of copper, iron, and zinc sulfide
ore, after treatment in the London Mill Industrial wastewater treatment plant. Outfall 003 consists of effluent from the
Tennessee Shaft Sewage Treatment plant (design = 15,000 gpd) discharged to North Potato Creek. Outfalls 004-007 are
discharges to North Potato Creek frcm sedimentation control structures designed to treat runoff from waste spoil areas. The
overall permit is based on BPJ and water quality standards because there are not promulgated guidelines for all wastestreams
and because of the large contribution of wastewater frcm 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 pa lance with the
Ocoee River using the 3Q20 flow (122.4 cfs) for the receiving stream and a flow of 127 cfs for the wastestream, with these
exceptions: 1) Cacinium, Settleable Solids, Suspended Solids and pH - Tennessee Effluent Standards; 2) TDS - present
achievable 1 imits; and 3) Fluoride - previous permit 1 innits. The effluent limits at 01A are based on the mass balance with
the Ocoee River (receiving stream - 122.4 cfs, wastestream - 6.8 cfs) except for settleable and suspended solids which are
Tennessee Effluent Standards. The pH is limited between 6.0 - ll.u 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, BCD is set to protect dissolved oxygen in North Potato Creek,
and the remaining parameters are from a mass balance with North Potato Creek. Dares tic wastewater limitations are technology
based. Tennessee Chemical must also operate four additional monitoring stations: 1) on the Ocoee River upstream frcm 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.
Biotnonitoring and a BMP plan are not required.

hydrosulfite, and calcium hypochlorite (SIC 2812, 2819), using mercury electrolytic
cell, chemical reaction, and evaporation processes. Discharges to the Hiwassee River
are through Outfall 001 consisting of process and sanitary wastewaters, stormwater
runoff, landfill runoff, and car wash wastewater (0.641 mgd, avg.); Outfall 01A
consisting of outflow from an activated sludge treatment plant for sanitary
wastewaters which is discharged through 001; and Outfalls 002, 003, and 004 which are
noncontact cooling water and stormwater runoff (1.91, 2.30, and 1.48 mgd avg. flows,
respectively). Waste streams to 001 undergo chemical precipitation, filtration.
dechlorination, sedimentation, reduction, and activated sludae (as mentioned above)
before entering the river. Outfalls 002, 003, and 004 are discharged untreated with
the exception of stormwater runoff at 004 which receives carbon adsorption. The bases
for the permit limitations are as follows: (1) 01A-—previous permit; (2) 001—anti-
backsliding rule found in 40 CFR 122.44, (L), (2), (i) used to relax previous permit TSS
limits to achievable levels; previous permit for mercury, IDS based on the state's
water quality limits, pH, fecal coliform, and zinc; BPJ of BAT for nickel; and BAT
guidelines (40 CFR 415.63(a)) for TRC using a production rate of 1400000 ppd of
chlorine and sodium hydroxide; (3)002, 003, 004—previous permit. Annual bioassay
tests (24-hour static method) conducted at 001 from 1982-84 using fathead minnows in a
58% effluent/48% river water mixture did not exceed a previous LC50 limit.

TX0003531: The APCO C'no~ical Co. (Lyoncell Plant) in Channel view, Texas, (Houston
area) is in the Organic Chemicals Category (40 CFR 414) and produces ethylene,
propylene, butadiene, methanol, and ctner 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 quality 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/1 (BAT) and also is discharged from Outfall
001 along with utility and domestic 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 domestic waste at 8 mg/1, and 0 & G is equivalent to a daily average of
15 mg/1. 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/1, with monitoring every six months. The permit contains a
reopener clause.

1X0003654: Polysar Gulf Coast, Inc.. of Orange, Texas, is in the Rubber Manufacturing
Category (40 CFR 428). The facility manufactures three synthetic rubbers by solution
polymerization (SIC 2822): Cis polybutadiene (CB), polyisoprene (SN), and ethylene
propylene diamine monomer (EPDM). Production is reported as approximately 1.3 million
pounds of solution rubber per day. Two plant discharges enter Cow Bayou and thence to
the Sabine River; at Outfall 001 — process wastewater and stormwater runoff, and at
Outfall 002 — emergency overflow from a lagoon to divert excessive stormwater.
Process wastewaters are collected and routed through skimming and settling
besin/lagoon systems. The final 30-acre treatment pond is baffled (i.e., the flow
rate is controlled) to increase the retention time, and shallow to improve oxygen
solubility and sunlight penetration. This natural treatment produces effluent with a
very low BOD-5 but, unfortunately, with a fairly high TSS, particularly when Raye flow
rates are caused by high stormwater runoff. Stormwaters drain into the treating pond
system; infrequently, however, stormwater bypasses the last 30-acre pond and enters
directly into the bayou. Outfall 001 limitations are based on the following: (1) BPT
guidelines found in 40 CFR 428.32, Subpart C, Solution Crumb Rubber Subcategory using
a BPJ determination of RAT/BCT being equal to BPT (pH, daily max. limits for BCD-5,
CCD, and Oil and Grease); (2) previous permit (TSS and monthly avg. limits for BCD-5,
CCD, and Oil and Grease); (3) Texas Dept. of Water Resources rules, dated 9/1/77,
which reflect State policy (benzene, phenols). Outfall 002 limitations are based
solely on TOWR rules. The permit requires 24-hour static bioassay tests on 100%
effluent samples (by volume) for the determination of 80% survival. If survival is
less than 80%, a replacement static 48-hour median LC50 will be performed on the
originally collected sample. The tests will be conducted quarterly for a duration of
two years. A BMP plan is not required.

1X0003948: Chevron Chemical Company (formerly Gulf Oil Chemicals), of Baytown, Texas,
manufactures organic chemicals and plastic resins such as ethylene, propylene,
aromatic concentrate, low density polyethylene, alpha olefins, polypropylene,
acetylene carbon, and polyalpha olefins (SIC 2869, 2821, 2895). The facility is in
the Organic Chemicals and Plastics and Synthetic Fibers Category (40 CFR 414) and has
six waste streams, two of which are internal. Outfall 001 consists of process
wastewater and cooling tower blowdown (4 mgd), internal Outfall 104 consists of process
wastewater (0.9 mgd), and Outfalls 002, 003, and internal Outfall 204 are
uncontaminated stormwater runoff (intermittent). Outfall 004 is a combination of 104
and 204. Plant discharges are to Cedar Bavou. Process wastewaters receive oil/water
separation, activated sludge, and sedimentation: boiler blowdown is routed to a
chromium/zinc removal unit. Stormwater runoff enters the bayou untreated. Guidelines
have not yet been promulgated for the organic chemicals and plastics industry;
therefore limits for 001, 104, and 004 are a SB1 determination of BCT, BAT, and water
quality requirements necessary to prevent further degradation of the receiving water,
based on the flow rates mentioned above. The proposed guidelines for the industry,
previous permit, and Texas State limits are used as guidance. The limits for Outfalls
002, 003, and 204 are from the previous permit based on a BPJ determination that a
level characteristic of BAT and BCT treatment is reflected. Biomonitoring. consisting
of 24 hour static tests, shall be conducted once per quarter for two years for the
determination of 80% survival in 100% effluent. The recommended test organisms are
Daphnia sp. or Mysidopsis sp. If survival is less than 80%, a replacement static 48
hour median LC50 test is required on the originally collected sample. The submittal
of a BMP plan is not required.

manufacturing industries using concentrations and a 27.5 mgd flow. The basis for the
limitations on stormwater and regenerant discharges are the previous permit (002,
003), standard technology for stormwater discharges (002), and State permit
requirements (003). Bioassays are required for an 80% survival rate of test organisms
(Daphnia sp. or Mysidopsis sp.) in 100% effluent concentration, using a static method
for 24 hours. Tests shall be conducted quarterly at 001 for a period of two years.
If survival is < 80%, a replacement static 48-hour median LC50 test is required on the
originally collected sample. A BMP plan is not included in the permit.

boiler blowdcwn, cooling tower blowdown, cooling water, contaminated stormwater and
domestic sewage through Outfall 001 to the Intercoastal Waterway. Polyethylene
manufacturing wastewater receives settling, skimming, and neutralization prior to
combining with the effluent fran 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 pond where S02 is added, then neutralized and discharged. A
total flow of 2.83 mgd is discharged. Effluent limitations are based on BPJ and
remanded guidelines for Organic Chemicals (40 CFR 414) and Plastics and Synthetics (40

TX0007439: SDS Biotech Corp. in Houston, Texas, produces agricultural herbicides,
pesticides, fungicides, and organic chemicals (SIC 2879) including MSMA, Dacthal, IPN,
and Daconil. The facility is in the Pesticides Chemicals Category (40 CFR 455) and
the Organic Chemicals Manufacturing Category (40 CFR 414). Two internal outfalls are
combined for total plant discharge at Outfall 001 to the Houston Ship Channel;
Outfall 001 is process and nonprocess wastewater and groundwater leachate (30 day avg.
of 0.90 mgd), and Outfall 201 is stormwater runoff (30 day avg. of 0.56 mgd). Process
wastewater was initially treated with neutralization, sedimentation and equalization
(4 days retention time), sand filtration, activated carbon filtration, aerated lagoons
(1 day retention), and final sedimentation (2.5 days retention). In addition, ammonia
bearing waste streams were pretreated by air stripping. Stormwater runoff received
ferric chloride and caustic precipitation, and multi-media filtration; stormwater
caused by rainfall exceeding 8 inches, however, was discharged untreated. The
facility was scheduled to have a new treatment system completed by 3/1/86 to
accommodate the addition of three waste streams from groundwater, acid pits, and an
incinerator, and to improve removal efficiencies and allow for increased stormwater
flows. Process wastewater treatment will include breakpoint chlorination to remove
ammonia, hydrolysis to remove cyanide, and ferric precipitation to remove arsenic;
stormwaters will receive additional sedimentation and an arsenic bearing runoff stream
will be disposed via well injection. There are no promulgated BCT/BAT guidelines for
the pesticides and organic chemicals industries; the permit limits are therefore based
on water quality standards and a determination of BCT/BAT levels using BPJ.
Biomonitoring once per quarter for two years in 100% effluent sample using a 24 hour
static method is required; if survival is less than 80%, a replacement static 48 hour
median LC50 test will be conducted on the originally collected sample. A BMP plan is

TX0007862: Independent Refining Corporation, of Winnie, Texas (Beaumont-Port Arthur
area on the Gulf coast at the TX/LA border), is in the Petroleun Refining Category (40
CFR 419) and has an initial refining capacity of 16,000 bbl/d of crude oil, which is
being expanded to 50,000 bbl/d(SIC 2911). Through 28 February 1981, the refinery
discharged treated process wastewater and all rainfall runoff through Outfal1 001
(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: 001—treated process wastewater (0.76 mgd avg/1.90 mgd max); and 002—
nonprocess area rainfall runoff (flow variable and unknown). The wastewater treatment
systen is not described in the permit or fact sheet/rationale. Effluent limitations
for this facility are a direct, by-the-book application of the categorical effluent
guide 1 ines, and proposed guidelines for the Cracking Subcategory (40 CFR 419, Subpart
IT! Interim mass limits for the pre-expans ion, combined discharge (Outfall 001) are
based on BPT guidelines and cover BOD-5, TSS, COD, O&G, phenol, ammonia nitrogen,
sulfide, total chromium, and hexavalent chromium. For the period following expansion
(after 28 February 1931) but prior to the BAT imp 1 orientation deadline (1 July 1984),
mass limitations for modified CXatfall 001 (treated process wastewater) are set as a
sum of BPT limitations for the original refining capacity (16,000 bbl/d), New Source
Performance Standards (NSPS) limitations for the expanded capacity (50,000 - 16,000 =
34,000 bbl/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. Concentration limits
on O&G and COD in Outfall 002 are based on BPT/NSPS guidelines. The permit includes
reopener clauses for toxics and for guidelines or standards promulgation. A BMP plan

TX0008761: Nalco Chemical Company manufactures tetramethyl lead and tetraethyl
lead anti-knock compounds (SIC 2869) at its facility located in Freeport, Texas. The
facility has two discharges to the Dow Chemical Company Plant A Effluent Canal to the
Brazos River. Outfall 001 consists of process wastewater, recycled process area
washwater and stormwater, sanitary wastewater, and cooling tower blowdown with an
average flow rate of 0.51 mgd. Outfall 002 is overflow from the stormwater and
washwater recycle pond system, which discharges only during periods of heavy rainfall.
The facility's treatment system's chief components are steam strippers for they
reduction of volatile organics, and an iron redox system for the reduction of heavy
metals. Discharge from the steam stripping units flow to a cooling pond and separate
settling pond prior to discharge. There are no effluent guidelines applicable to
discharges from this industry, so limitations in the permit were derived using BKJ.
Effluent limitations on EDB, EDC, and toluene are based on steam stripping technology,
using data presented in the EPA Treatability Manual, and an flow rate of 0.57 mgd (the
highest reported 30 day flow value). Limits on BOD and TOC are based on information
in the Development Document for Organic Chemicals (February 1983), and lead limits at
Outfall 001 are based on limits in the Chrome Pigments Subcategory of the Inorganic
Chemicals Category (40 CFR 415). Zinc and TSS limits at Outfall 001 are previous
permit limits. At Outfall 002, zinc and lead are limited by water quality standards.
Biomonitoring screening requiring 80% survival in 100% effluent is required at both
outfalls, but there is no BMP Plan included in the permit.

TX0009105: The Cominco American, Camex Division, in 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 rrgd from the city water system and 1 rogd from wells. With the existing wastewater
system, all process wastewater, cooling tower and boiler blowdown, 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 deepwell
injection. Sanitary wastes are routed to a septic tank/drainfield system. The
existing permit irrigation system at Outfall 001 to a water quality limited segment of
Rock Creek. A schedule of compliance 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. However, the company proposed to divert
cooling tower and boiler blowdown, demineralizer backwash, and some stormwater from
the existing system for discharge from 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 BRJ. Final.limits for this outfall
have the same basis, and a limit on oil and grease is added. Outfall 002 limitations
are effective July 1, 1982 and are based on BRJ. A BMP Plan is not required.

TX0009148: Phillips Petroleum Coirpany, 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 unnamed 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 pond 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

TX0052825: Pennwa1t 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 limits 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 performed once
per quarter for a duration of two years to determine 80% survival.

TX0055107: The Stroh Brewery Company located in Longview, Texas, operates a brewery
(SIC 2082) producing 350,000 gpd of malt beverages, and an aluminum can manufacturing
plant (SIC 3411) producing 4.65 million cans per day. Plant activities place the
facility in both the Miscellaneous Food and Beverage Processing Category (40 CFR 438)
and the Coil Coating Category (40 CFR 465). Outfall 001 discharges approximately 2
mgd of process wastewater into Grace Creek, thence into a water quality limited
segment of the Sabine River. Process wastewater from the can plant is pretreated for
emulsified oil removal by gravity separation in acidic conditions, followed by pH
adjustment and dissolved air flotation; oily wastes are landfilled or shipped offsite
for reclamation. The pretreated wastewaters, can plant cooling and sanitary waters,
and brewery wastewaters are routed to an activated sludge treatment plant prior to
discharge through Outfall 001. Sludge is thickened and aerobically digested before
land application. Effluent guidelines have been promulgated to cover the can plant
operations (40 CFR 465, Subpart D, the Canmaking Subcategory), but not for the
brewery; therefore the permit limitations are a EBI determination of BCT and BAT,
based on a concentration and a 1.8 mgd flow for the brewery discharge, and applicable
BAT guidelines and the production rate of 4.65 million cans/day for the can plant
discharge. The permit does not require a BMP plan or biomonitoring.

TX0056529: Rohm and Haas Texas, inc. in Deer Park, Texas, (N.E. of Houston) is in the
Organic Chemicals Category (40 CFR 414)and produces acrylic acid, acrylic esters and
monomers, ana acetic acia (SIC 2824, .2869). All plant wastewater is discharged from
Outfall 001 (1.684 mgd) to the Houston Ship Canal, under an existing wasteload
a 1 location. Process wastewater from the "chemical sewer," 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/1 (40 CFR 122.62). Artmonia 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.

1X0064912: Hoffman-La Roche manufactures vitamins and vitamin intermediates
(SIC 2834, 2833) at a plant located in Freeport (Brazoria County), Texas. The
facility is in the Pharmaceuticals Manufacturing Category (40 CFR 439), discharging to
the Dow Wastewater Canal at Outfall 001 and to Oyster Creek at Outfall 002. Plant
activities have been temporarily suspended; therefore 001 consists of sanitary
wastewater and will include process wastewater for a flow of 0.325 mgd once plant
operations are resumed. Outfall 002 consists of untreated stormwater runoff
(variable). Process and sanitary wastewaters are treated separately with chemical,
physical, and biological processes before combining for discharge to the canal.
Sanitary wastewater must be chlorinated sufficiently to maintain a 1.0 mg/1 chlorine
residual level. The effluent limitations on both outfalls are from the previous
permit. However, until the start-up of plant activities, limits on 001 are a BPJ
determination of BCT based on concentrations of 20 mg/1 BCD and TSS monthly avg., and
30 mg/1 BOD and TSS daily maximum. Mass limits for the waste stream are calculated
using a 0.12 mgd flow. Effluent guidelines require that cyanide be limited. The
facility has, however, certified that cyanide is not used in plant processes;
therefore monitoring is not required. The permit does not include requirements for
biomonitoring or a BMP plan.

TX0077593: Syngas Co., located at Strang and Sens Roads in Dear Park, Texas, is a
manufacturer of synthetic gas and methanol (SIC 2861) in the Organic Chemicals and
Plastics and Synthetic Fibers Category (40 CFR 414). Plant discharges are from three
outfalls to the San Jacinto Bay. Daily average flows of 0.49 mgd of process and lab
wastewaters and spillage and 3.5 mgd of sanitary wastewater, nonprocess utility water,
and contaminated stormwater runoff are from Outfalls 001 and 002, respectively.
(Xitfall 003 consists of a variable amount of uncontaminated stormwater runoff which
enters the bay untreated. Outfall 001 is pretreated chemically with processes
including neutralization, clarification, flocculation. and ammonia stripping; sludge
is treated biologically with activated sludge, thickened, then dewatered by a
filter press. The filter pressed sludge is conveyed by belt filters to a dumpster for
off-site disposal in a hazardous waste landfill. Sanitary wastewater at 002 is
treated by activated sludae (with extended aeration); the other waste streams to 002
are monitored in storm sewers and, if contaminated, diverted to an emergency retention
basin. There are no promulgated guidelines for this industry, therefore limits at 001
are based on concentrations using actual operating data. It is EPJ that the
pollutants are being discharged at the equivalent of BCT (TSS, TOC) and BAT (nickel,
cyanide) levels. BOD-5 and ammonia limits are exceptions based on Houston Ship
Channel Waste Load Allocations; pH limits are set within normal ranges. Effluent
limits at 002 are from the previous permit. The basis for the temperature limit is
not specified. Limits at 003 are based on Region VI stormwat-pr guidance. 24 hour
static bioassays showing 80% survival in 100% effluent are required using Daphnia sp.
or Mysidopsis sp. Tests shall be quarterly for two years, and if test results show
greater than 20% mortality, a replacement 48 hour median LC50 test shall be conducted
on the originally collected sample. There is no BMP plan included in the permit.

terminal (SIC 4226) facility; the terminals are leased for the storage and processing
of various chemical products such as chlorinated organic compounds, phenols, cyanide
and petroleum products. The facility is a new source in the Shore Receptor and
Bulk Terminals Category (40 CFR 453). Stormwater runoff is discharged at Outfalls 001
and 002, and process wastewater is discharged at Outfall 003. All three waste streams
enter the Houston Ship Channel. Stormwater runoff is held and tested before
discharge. If the runoff at 002 does not meet the effluent limits, it receives oil/
water separation and is then diverted to the process wastewater treatment system which
includes separation, equalization, filtration, aeration, settling and cfrlprimitiQn.
Limits on 001 and 002 are based on EPA Region VI stormwater guidance (CCD, Oil and
Grease) and BPJ of BAT treatment levels (phenols, total purgeable halocarbons). It is
also BPJ that the limits on 001 represent BCT (BCD-5, TSS, oil and grease) and BAT
(COD, phenols, cyanide, total purgeable hydrocarbons) levels. The BCD-5, TSS, and CCD
mass limits are calculated using a 0.0565 mgd average flow and the following daily
average/daily maximum concentrations: BCD-5 - 30/60 mg/1, TSS - 35/70 mg/1, and CCD -
300/450 mg/1. Quarterly bioassays shall be conducted for a period of two years. A
24-hour static method will be used for the determination of 80% survival of
Daohnia sp. or Mysidopsis sp. in 100% effluent (Outfall 001). If mortality is greater
than 20%, a replacement 48 hour median LC50 test is required on the originally

(40 CFR 419, Subpart B) and processes 25,300 bbls/day of feed stock to produce
gasoline, distillates, fuel oils, asphalts, etc., (SIC 2911). Process wastewater (.68
mgd) is treated by sedimentation, API separator, induced air flotation, and a 20-acre
6-cell lagoon; discharge is at Outfall 001 to the State Industrial Canal. Outfall 002
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 BOD^, TSS, and
pH; (3) the concentrations limits for O&G that were in the previous permit based on
EPA regional policy; and (4) COD limits based on 71% of BPCT. The final limitations
(effective 7/1/84) are based on BP J, using 88% of BPCT equivalent to BAT, except for
COD, which is set at 71% of BPCT. Concentration limits for BOD5, 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 system 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
regulation. Self monitoring of Outfall 001 during 1980 and 1981 showed average
pollutant levels generally less than the permit limits.

VA0026557: Park 500 Division of Philip Morris, Inc., located in Chester, Virginia, is
engaged in the reclamation of tobacco stems and scrap for use in cigarette
manufacture, where dry tobacco scrap is cut and pulped in a water slurry and liquor is
pressed out. The resultant tobacco stock is refined and made into sheets similar to
paper and the sheets are dried, shredded, and packed for use in cigarettes
manufactured at other locations (SIC 2141). The facility has one discharge to the
James River, which consists of 2.2 mgd process wastewater which discharges from
Outfall 001. The treatment system consists of a bar rack, grit chamber, coarse screen
and aeration basin and treatment is by primary and secondary clarification,
chlorination and gravity filtration. Sludge is dumped to a thickening tank and treated
by chemical addition and belt filter presses or vacuum filters for dewatering. There
is no effluent guideline category applicable to this facility, so effluent limitations
on TSS and BOD are based on BRJ. Limits on pH and total residual chlorine are based
on water quality standards. Monitoring for TKN and ammonia is required because of the
significance of these parameters to the wasteload allocation modeling for the area.
Hie facility is adding a third process line to the two existing lines, and permit
limitations reflect this 50% increase in BOD and TSS levels over the original
limitations. Effluent limitations become effective when the newly constructed
treatment facilities are operational. A bioassay (using methodologies approved by the
State Water Control Board) is required once per year including follow-up work to
identify and treat or remove any toxicants indicated. There is no BMP Plan included
in the permit.

WA0000281: Kalama Chemical Inc. in Kalama, Washington, manufactures organic chemicals
based on the air oxidation of toluene (SIC 2865). The facility is in the Organic
Chemicals and Plastics and Synthetics Category (40 CFR 414) and average daily
production is as follows: benzaldehyde - 25,000 lbs; benzoic acid (industrial and
technical) - 300,000 lbs and 70,000 lbs; benzyl alcohol - 15,000 lbs; K-flex
plasticizers - 30,000 lbs; nonyl phenol - 50,000 lbs; and phenol - 130,000 lbs.
Discharge to the Columbia River consists of noncontact cooling water (Outfall 001),
process wastewater and stormwater runoff from process areas (Outfall 002), and
stormwater runoff from nonprocess areas (Outfall 003). At Outfall 002, daily flow
rates vary from 25,000 to 120,000 gpd. Approximately 10% of total wastewater flow
undergoes anaerobic treatment before being channeled to an activated sludge treatment
plant. The treated effluent combines with up to 20 million gallons of noncontact
cooling water before discharge. Effluent limits at Outfall 001 are based on water
quality standards. Limitations at Outfall 002 are based on proposed BAT/BCT effluent
guidelines in the Oxidation Subcategory (low water use) except ammonia and total
phosphorus where limits were added by BKJ because these parameters add to the
eutrophication of the receiving stream. Since effluent limits were not being achieved
at the time of permit issuance, a schedule of compliance requires compliance with all
limits no later than January 1, 1986. A single static salmonid bioassay where 80% or
greater survival is considered passing is required, and based on the results of the
test, final biomonitoring requirements will be established. A solid waste management
plan addressing the problem of sludge disposal is required, and a groundwater
monitoring program is required by May 1, 1985 to ensure early detection of groundwater
contamination.

V^00O0299: The ALCOA plant in Vancouver, WA (S.W. cornet 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 mgd), 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.

WA0000621: Scott Paper Company in Everett, Washington, operates a sulfite palp and
paper mill (2611) in the Pulp. Paper, and Pacerboard Category (40 CFR 430).
Production rates for 1981 are reported as 518 tpd of sulfite pulp, 32 tpd of
groundwood pulp, and 41 tpd of nonintegrated tissue paper. Three regulated discharges
consisting of both process wastewater and rainwater enter Everett Harbor (Outfalls 003
and 008) and Port Gardner Bay (Outfall 001). Discharges from 001 and 003 (6 and 7 mgd
respectively) are treated in two sedimentation clarifiers. followed by neutralization
and discharge. The settled solids are chemically treated with a flocculant polymer,
mixed with secondary sludge, filtered and compressed on a belt filter to about 25%
solids, and then incinerated in a power boiler. 008 (13.5 mgd) is treated in a
recently installed activated sludge plant before entering the harbor. The permit
limitations are based on BPT/faAT effluent guidelines using a EPJ determination of BCT
being equal to BPT in the absence of promulgated BCT guidelines. Limits are
calculated based on 1981 production rates mentioned above. By 12/24/85, the facility
was required to submit an SFCC plan, a wastewater treatment system operating plan to
describe two operational modes, and a stormwater evaluation plan. Composite samples
of the discharges shall show a salmonid survival rate of at least 80% in a 96-hour
bioassay of 65% effluent concentration. Testing shall be conducted monthly in
accordance with the Department of Ecology Acute Toxicity Test Method (1974), or an

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 Copoer
Refining Suocategorv (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-1970's; SC^ 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 POTW. 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.

WA0000680: Aluminum Company of America, located 10 miles south of Wenatchee,
Washington, on the west bank of the Columbia River, is a primary aluminum smelting
facility (SIC 3334) in the Nonferrous MPtaig Manufacturing Category (40 CFR 421). The
smelter uses center-worked pre-baked reduction cells to produce approximately 600 tpd
of aluminum metal. Most of the metal is cast by the direct chill process either into
ingots or sows; anodes are produced on-site and baked in ring furnaces. The facility
discharges 7.84 mgd from a single outfall to the Columbia River, consisting of
noncontact cooling and sanitary sewage treatment waters. Treatment consists of
activated sludge at the sanitary sewage facility. Contact water from casting aluminum
ingots (1.5 mgd) is biologically treated in rapid infiltration lagoons. Limitations
for benzo(a)pyrene, fluoride, antimony, temperature, and residual chlorine are based
on HPJ and BAT guidelines (40 CFR 421, Subpart B, Primary Aluminum Smelting
Subcategory). TSS, oil and grease, pH, and fecal coliform limitations are based on a
BPJ determination of BCT, using BPT guidelines. Limits are based on average monthly
production rates of 24 million pounds of anodes and 24 million pounds of direct chill
cast ingots. BPJ was also used to determine allowances for stormwater runoff and
pollutants in the process intake water. Permit requirements include a SPOC plan,
sanitary treatment plant limitations, a stormwater runoff study, and a semi-annual
salmonid bioassay with 80% survival in 100% effluent for a 96-hour period. A BMP plan
is not included.

WA0002615: 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 River-West Waterway. Boiler blowdown (2,000 gpd)
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 POTVJ. Although the permit does not require a BMP plan, the canpany
appears to practice many of the BMP's recommended in the draft effluent guidelines
development document for shipbuilding and repair (EPA 400/1-79/076-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
BP J. The boiler blowdown 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.

WA0029190: The J.J. Theodore Company, Inc., of Seattle, Washingtion, operates a
seafood processing plant (SIC 2092) on San Juan Island, some 60 miles northwest 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 course
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 BCT regulations for the Canned & Perserved Seafood Category
(40 CFR 408) were rescinded in February 1982, is the BPT regulations for the West
Coast Hand-Butchered Salmon Subcategory (409.180 Subpart R) and the west Coast
Mechanized Salmon Processing Subcategory (408.190 Subpart S). In the absence of
guidelines for dogfish processing, BRJ was used to include dogfish processing with

WA0037265: Occidental Chemical Corporation of Tacoma, Washington, is in the
Inorganic Chemicals Manufacturing Category (40 CFR 415). The facility is primarily a
diaphragm cell chlor-alkali plant (SIC 2812), but it also has ammonia and muriatic acid
plants and a calcium chloride plant. Commercial products include chlorine, sodium
hydroxide, sodium hypochlorite, calcium chloride, muriatic acid, and ammonia. A single
discharge from Outfall 002, the only outfall addressed in the permit, to the ffylebos
Waterway includes process, cooling, and storm waters for a maximum flow of 24.5 mgd.
Chlorine and caustic soda are produced by the electrolysis of brine in the type of cell
mentioned above. The cell room wastewaters containing metal pollutants are recycled to
a salt pile and then through a brine purification system to the cells again in a closed
loop. Chlorine waters are treated with steam stripping or, if necessary, the addition
of S02. Lead contaminated asbestos designated as dangerous waste is drummed for shipment
to a secure landfill. Brine muds are sent to a city landfill; if, however, they fall
under state regulations, for 10% salt, they are sent to a secure landfill. Limitations
for copper, lead, nickel, and TEC are based on BAT effluent sidelines [40 CFR
415.63(b)] using a production rate of 495 kkg of chlorine per day. Limits for pH and
TSS, using the same production rate, are based on BCT (=BPT,40 CFR 415.62(b)) as
determined by BP J; BCT guidelines have not yet been promulgated. The ammonia
limitations are also BP J. though based on BAT guidelines for the Fertilizer
Manufacturing Category (40 CFR 418.23) using a production rate of 73 kkg of ammonia
per day. The flow limit is based on a 10-year storm event, and a pH excursion is
based on water quality criteria as determined by the WDGE. A bioassay is to be added
when the WDGE provides saltwater bioassay monitoring techniques. A temperature survey
was to be conducted during the summer of 1985 ("worst case" conditions) for
verification that the temperature limit will not violate water quality standards. A
single priority pollutant scan to include air scrubber water at the calcium chloride
facility and process water at the muriatic acid facility is required. The permit is
subject to reopening after promulgation of applicable BCT guidelines, and a SPCC plan
was to be submitted by 5/1/85.

the production of injected molded parts, primarily knobs where a portion of the parts
are given a chromium plate finish. The plating process involves deposition of a
conductive surface on the plastic parts using an electroless nickel solution, followed
by a conventional copper, nickel, chrome sequence (SIC 3471), placing the facility in
the Metal Finishing Category (40 CFR 433). Wastewater from the facility consists of
7,680 gpd noncontact cooling water from the injection molding equipment and a maximum
28,000 gpd treated process wstewater from electroplating facilities (10,000 gpd
average). Both waste streams combine prior to discharge from Outfall 001 to the
Black River Treatment of the wastewater consists of chromium reduction, hydroxide
precipitation using lime, followed by granular media filtration" Approximately one-
third of the treated effluent is recycled as rinse water. Concentration limits on
nickel and ammonia and temperature limits are based on water quality standards. In
order to allow more flexibility in meeting limits for nickel, a limits table of
discharge volume vs. effluent concentration is included where, as the discharge volume
increases, the allowable concentration decreases proportionally. Mass limits in the

descriptions, treatment and permitting rationale for B?J and technology based limits for each outfall or outfall group
follow. CUTFALL 801: plant process wastewater (Sn-gd); treatment by equalization, neutralization, primary sedimentation,
activated sludae, final clarification, with sludge pump»?d offsite to a lagoon; BPJ was used to set average BCT limits lower
than the previous permit based on statistical analysis of treabnent plant performance data, maximvm daily limits set at 991
confidence interval (3 standard deviations above mean) for BOO, TOC, and 951 confidence interval (2 standard deviations above
mean) for TSS; TKN i NH^-H limits renain 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 dowi, with monitoring showing the pollutants no longer present, and di-rv-
octyl phthlate will be eliminated by July 1, 1984 by replacement of punp seal fluid containing this pollutant; (2) final
limitations for benzene, naphthalene, toluene, isophorone, and chloroform vrere increased from 0.96/2.9 kg/d to 4.5/4.5 kg/d
(based on concentration of 0.25 mg/1) based on an EPA contractor's study of chloroform removal, analytical variability in
analysis of these pollutants, and negotiations 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 higher limits of detection. OUTFALLS 002-085: cooling water with process waste spills
and stormwater; no treatment; limits for phenolics, TOC, TKN, NH^-N remain at present levels, maximun limit for TOC
represents 951 confidence interval; a total mass 1 unit for chloride for Outfalls 001-005 was requested by Union Carbide;
isophorone at 003 is set at 0.25 mg/1 (max) from 2.3 kg/d. (max) after the Evidentiary Hearing due to the difficulty of
measuring the large flow (60 mgd). OUTFALL 005: Prior to the Evidentiary Hearing, chloroform was regulated at 0.91/2.7 kg/d
based on (1) 99% average removal if steam stripping 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 m?3, and (4) a peaking factor of 3x for maximun
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 maximvm mass limits for 6 other priority pollutants were increased from 4.6 kg/d
to 0.25 mg/1 (equivalent to 107 kg/d at a flow of 113 mgd) due to difficulty in flow measuranent and analytical variability.
A sulfide 'Monitor only" limitation was deleted due to a change in State Certification. OUTFALL 007 (coal pile runoff) ves
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 t 019: filter backwash water, no
treatment, no limits. Tank farm drains and stormwater drains (total 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 Outfalls 001-703. No schedule of compliance is
required for conventional pollutants: however, interim limits through June 33. 1984 ere :noosed for chloroform at Outfall

WV0003336: Union Carbide Ccrcoration, Institute, West Virginia (Charleston area), is in the Organic Chemicals Category (40
CFR 414) and Pesticides Cate:orv (4'J CFR 455) and produces benzene, toluene, chloroform, other solvents (SIC 2869), and the
pesticides Sevin and Caroaryl (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 outfalI or outfal1 group
follow; OUTFALL 001: plant process wastewater (5nt*J7Ttreatment by equalization, neutralization, primary sedimentation,
activated sludge, fTnal clarification, with sludge punped offsite to a lagoon; BPJ was used to set average BCT limits lower
than the previous permit based on statistical analysis of treatment plant performance data, maximum daily limits set at 991
confidence interval (3 standard deviations acove mean) for BOO, TOC, and 951 confidence interval (2 standard deviations above
mean) for TSS; TKN & NH,-H limits rsnain 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 vjqs shut dowi, with monitoring showing the pollutants no longer present, and di—rv-
octyl phthlate will be eliminated by July 1, 1984 by replacement of punp 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 4.5/4.5 kg/d
(based on concentration of 0.25 rrg/1) based on an EPA contractor's study of chloroform removal, analytical variability in
analysis of these pollutants, and negotiations with the permittee; and (3) final acrylonitrile limits were Increased ftcxn
0.96/2.9 kg/d to 9.1/9.1 kg/d due to higher limits of detection. OUTFALLS 092-005: cooling water with process waste spills
and stormwater; no treabrent; limits for phenollcs, TOC, TKN, NHy-N remain at present levels, maximun limit for TOC
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 mg/1 (max) frcm 2.3 kg/d (max) after the Evidentiary Hearing due to the difficulty of
measuring the large flow (60 rogd). OUTFALL 005: Prior to the Evidentiary Hearirq, chloroform was regulated at 0.91/2.7 kg/d
based on (1) 99% average removal if steam stripping 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 mgd, and (4) a peaking factor of 3x for maximum
limits. Following the heating, 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 maximum mass limits for 6 other priority pollutants were increased from 4.6 kg/d
to 0.25 mg/1 (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 vras deleted due to a change in State Certification, (XJTFALL 007 (coal pile runoff) ves
eliminated in the revised permit after the Evidentiary Hearing, as were Outfalls 004 ar<3 006 (cooling water). OUTFALL 008
(fly ash pond) limits were set at BPT level technology based on BPJ. OUTFALLS 013 & 019: filter backwash vrater, no
treatment, no limits. Tank farm drains and stormwater drains (total of 35 outfalls) are regulated by a BMP plan (see sheet i
of 3). A ssni-annual monitoring scan is required for toxic pollutants for OJtfalls 001-005. No schedule of compliance is
required for conventional pollutants: however, interim limits through June 30, 1984 are inposed for chloroform at Outfall
001; a BAT facilities engineering report is required by June 1, 1982, with construction to be completed by March 1, 1984,
including a new hydrogen chloride absorber, No. 2 MIC unit and reorganization and upgrading of the environnental laboratory.

WV0000108: Kincaid Enterprises of Nitro, West Virginia (Charleston Area) is in the
Organic 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 implanentation schedule as the facility currently is
in compliance.

WV0000116: Guyan Machinery Company, is located in Logan, west Virginia, and is
engaged in the manufacture and repair of mining equipment and supplies (SIC 3441,
3535). A guidelines category is not available for this industry. The plant has two
discharges to the Guyandotte River, each with daily maximum flows of 1.5 gpm. (Xitfall
001 includes noncontact cooling water and process wastewater from a high pressure
cleaning area. Outfall 002 consists of noncontact cooling water. Wastewaters are
routed to a sump where settling occurs before entering an oil/water separator followed
by discharge. Noncontact cooling water enters the river without treatment. The
permit limitations are based on water quality standards (Chapter 1, Section 3 of
Administrative Regulations). Because treatment does not provide for the removal of
organics, non-detectable limits are required for 1,1,1-trichloroethane and toluene. A
BMP plan shall have been implemented by 60 days after the permit issuance date.

WVG000132: 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 Development Document (440/1-74-010-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 CCD 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 QC/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.

water from the submerged arc electric furnaces and electric power generating
equipment. Bottom ash sluicing water is recycled after treatment in a settling pond;
however, the pond overflow is discharged intermittently through Outfall 006. Outfall
007 consists of filter backwash from sanitary water treatment, wash water from slag
and quartz rinsing, and plant drainage. Sanitary wastes are treated by grinding,
activated sludge, and chlorination and are monitored at internal outfall 102.
Scrubber water receives settling and neutralization and is recycled with emergency
discharges from the scrubber settling pond monitored at internal outfall 104. Outfall
008 consists of a small stream flow through a landfill. Elkem Metals requested an
evidentiary hearing in response to its originally issued permit. The effluent
limitations are based on stipulation made as as a result of that hearing. EPA Region
III believes that the effluent limitations reflect BCT and BAT in the absence of
promulgated guidelines. Intake water is required to be monitored at the same

WV0000370: The Pantasote Company of Point Pleasant, West Virginia (western border of
state on Ohio River) is in the Plastics and Synthetic Materials Category (40 CFR 416)
and produces PVC resin (SIC 2821). Treated process waste and storm water (0.223 rrtgd
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 (951 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 [£50 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 within one year of the effective date of the permit. The permit
contains a reopener clause.

WV0001121: Howes Leather Company, Inc. of Franklin, West Virginia, is in the Leather
Tanning and Finishing Category (40 CFR 425, Subpart C). The facility is engaged in
the conversion of raw hides into sole leather and pickled bellies, using vegetable and
chrome-tanning processes (SIC 3111). Production at the facility is 2,300 hides per
day (138,000 lbs/d) and discharge from Outfall 001 of 0.366 mgd is to the Greenbriar
River. Outfall 001 consists of wastewater from beamhouse (hair save), tanning,
pickling, and finishing processes and sanitary waste. Treatment includes screening,
sedimentation, mixing, neutralization, chemical precipitation and chlorine
disinfection and sludge is treated by chemical addition, pressure filtration before
landfilling. The permit includes a schedule of compliance for ammonia, chlorides,
TSS, and BOD to meet water quality based limits by November 4, 1986. The company has
been advised to apply for a variance on BOD and ammonia limits since final limits on
these parameters are based on a model designed for sewage treatment plants and levels
will not be achievable by a leather tanning facility. Interim limits for oil and
grease, total chromium, BOD, and TSS reflect a proposed modification of permit limits
through company negotiations. Chloride and ammonia interim limits are based on waste
load history and a Divisional Permit Issuers Guidance Statement (of August 16, 1982).
Fecal coliform and total residual chlorine are based on water quality standards. The
permit requires a BMP Plan and static LC50-96 hour bioassay tests must be conducted
semi-annually. Monthly loading measurements shall be submitted with DMRs to ensure
that biomass loading on the rotating biological contactors (RBC) does not exceed 1,740
psig. The monthly readings will assure that maximum biological treatment is being
maintained through the RBC system.

WV0001279: JL DuPont DeNemours and Company, located in Parkersburg, West Virginia,
produces fluoropolymers, nylon, polyvinylbutyral, acrylic resins, plastics compounding
and polyacetals (SIC 2821 and 2824). The facility is in the Organic Chemicals
Category (40 CFR 414). There are seven discharges directly to the Ohio River, as
follows: Outfall 001 - noncontact cooling water and stormwater runoff; Outfall 002 -
treated process wastewater and noncontact cooling water; Outfall 003 - noncontact
cooling water; Outfall 005 - noncontact cooling water plus treated effluent from
internal monitoring point 105; and Outfalls 006, 007, arri 008 - storm runoff
occasionally spiked with small volumes of noncontact cooling water. Fluoropolymer
production wastewaters are treated by neutralization, clarification, sedimentation and
elutriation before discharge to Outfall 002. Methylacrylate polymer, polyester and
nylon compounding, nylon molding powder and filaments, polyvinylbutyral, and acetal
resin production wastewaters are pretreated before processing in the bio-oxidation
treatment facility which involves sedimentation, equalization, cooling, mixing,
aeration, clarification, and centrifugation of sludge. Sanitary wastes receive
primary sedimentation, chlorination, anaerobic treatment and neutralization before
combining in the bio-oxidation facility for discharge to Outfall 105. Limitations on
free available chlorine, temperature, pH and chloride are WV State Certification
requirements. Other net limitations are based on BPJ in the absence of promulgated
guidelines. Net limits on BOD, TSS, and oil and grease at Outfall 002 reflect BPT.
The limitations at Outfall 105 were derived from statistical analyses of plant
operational data fran 10/79 to 9/80. Bicmonitoring requirements are established on
the effluent frcm Outfalls 105 and 002. A BMP Plan is also required.

WV13001651: C.S.T. Inc. (Fike Chenicals) in Nitro, WV (Charleston area) is in the
Organic Chemicals Category (40 CFR 414) (SIC 2869) and discharges 0.0475 mgd o£
treated process wastewater to the Kanawha River. The basis for BCT limitations is BPJ
using a statistical analysis of DMR data from 1S79 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, LC-50 is equal
to or greater than 50% after 3 years, the biomonitoring requirement will be
eliminated. BMP plan is required within one year which includes hazardous waste
management disposal considerations. There is no implementation plan as the facility
currently is meeting the permit limits. No BCT 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.

WV0001805: Quaker State Oil Refining Corporation is located in Saint Marys, West
Virginia and is engaged in the production of lube oils, waxes, gasoline and other
related petroleum products (SIC 2911). The facility is in the Petroleum Refining
Category (40 CFR 419), Subpart A - Topping Subcategory. There are three outfalls
which discharge to Wolf Run of Tannery Run of the Ohio River. Outfall 001 (328 GPM)
discharges treated process and contaminated stormwater wastewaters, Outfall 002
(250 GPM) discharges combined wastewaters consisting of untreated non-contact cooling
water and uncontaminated stormwater runoff, and Outfall 003 (240 GPM) discharges non-
contact cooling water overflow from a spray pond. (Treatment methods for the process
wastewater and contaminated stormwater runoff are not discussed in the permit and
supporting documentation.) For Outfall 001, permit limitations for BCD5, CCD, TSS,
Oil and Grease, Ammonia (as N), Sulfide, and the minimum daily limit for total chrome
are based on BPT with BPT=BAT from the effluent guidelines. Limits for the phenolic
compounds, total chrome (monthly average limit) and hexavalent chrome are BAT limits
based on an April 17, 1984 Settlement Agreement with NRDC, Inc. and API members which
are more stringent than the guideline Dased limits and the existing permit. Total
arsenic and chloride limits are based on water quality criteria and temperature and pH
limits at Outfalls 002 and 003 are based on WV Administrative Regulations for Water
Quality. Since there is no BAT limit for zinc, the permit limitation is based on
existing permit mass limitations. Biomonitoring requirements include minimum of four
semi-annual 48-hour static toxicity tests (in replicate) using the species Daphnia
Pulex. The facility must study and report on the sources of arsenic, zinc and
chloride in its discharge. The permit sets forth an implementation schedule for
Outfall 001 incorporating calculations determining the additional loadings associated
with contaminated storm runoff each month. The result of the calculations is added to
the process wastewater loading for each regulated parameter to provide the total
allowable loading for each particular parameter. This process was to begin May 10,
1985. A BMP plan is required.

WVOO02399: 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) ar>3 other organic chemicals (SIC 2869). No production data are given.
The plant discharges to the Kanavjha River through 45 outfalls, of which three are process wastes receiving biological
treatment: 062 (2.3 ircjd), 017 and 046 (no flows given). The remaining regulated outfalls are 001 & 002 (storm water) and
003, 013, 021, 043, 4 056 (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 from 1978 to 1980. Permit limitations fall within 2 to 3 standard deviations aoove the mean
both for average ar*3 maximun values (95 to 99* confidence intervals of conpliance), and no limitations exceed previous permit
levels for conventional and non-conventional pollutants. Chloride is regulated by state water quality certification, and
limits for C-^tfalls 017 and 046 are on a net basis, requiring monitoring of intake water on the same day at the sare
frequency. Seven priority pollutants were reported in the NPDES application at Outfall 062, but only three are present in
significant quantities requiring regulation as follows: chloroform and methylene chloride—concentration of 0.05 mg/1
yielding an average monthly mass discharge of 1.0 lb/day at a flow of 2.1 mgd; copper—concentration of 1.0 rog/1 yielding a
mass discharge of 19 lb/d at a flow of 2.3 mgd. Maximun 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 062 and annually for
Outfalls 017 arrf 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 composite
samples is required to determine the 96 hour UC50 for the fathead minnow on a seni-annual basis for (Xitfalls 017 and 046 and
quarterly for Outfall 062.

WV0002496: The Stauffer Cnemical 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 limitations is BPJ employing a statistical analysis of DMR data for
winter BOD-5 limits (Dec-Mar), and for COD and phosphorus. Average monthly limits 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 BOU5 (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 DC50 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 implemented 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.

WV0004502: The Wheeling Pittsburgh Steel plant in Follansbee, West Virginia,
manufactures a maximum of 170 tpd of terne coated steel strip (SIC 3312r 4961) in the
Iron and Steel Manufacturing Category (40 CFR 420). Plant operations result in three
waste streams discharged to the Ohio River. Outfall 001 consists of process
wastewater from internal Outfall 101, boiler blowdown, noncontact cooling water, and
effluent from storm and floor drains. Outfalls 002 and 003 consist of uncontaminated
stormwater runoff. Outfall 001 is treated by oil skimming; pickle liquor, pickle
rinse water, and process area floor drainage are collected for disposal by a
contractor. The U.S. EPA has indicated that the facility is not directly covered by
effluent guidelines for the iron and steel industry (specifically Subpart L, Hot
Coating Subcategory) since there is no treatment provided for, or discharge from, the
actual terne plating operation. However, to meet state water quality standards, the
guidelines will be applied using the production rate mentioned above. Permit
concentration limits on TSS and oil and grease are from the Development Document for
Iron and Steel Manufacturing (Volume VI) - Mass limits are based on BPT/BAT/BAT
guidelines as found in 40 CFR 420.122(a)(1), 420.127(a)(1), and 40 CFR 420.123(a)(1),
respectively. The flow limit on 101 is based on the tank volume, and detention time
as reported in the facility's permit application. Biomonitoring or the submittal of a
BMP plan are not required.

WV0004511: Wheeling Pittsburgh Steel Corporation is engaged in the coating of steel
coils with paint, and the fabrication of metal products (SIC 3479) at their facility
in Beech Bottom, West Virginia. The facility is in the Coil Coating Category (40 CFR
465, Subpart A). Outfall 101, an internal outfall, consists of coil coating process
wastewater, demineralizer backwash, and regenerant rinse water and has an average flow
rate of 0.067 mgd (0.115 mgd maximum). Treatment is by chemical oxidation,
neutralization, flocculation, settling. Sludge conditioning is by pressure filtration
and the treated effluent combines with untreated boiler blowdown, cooling water and
stormwater runoff and discharges from Outfall 001. Outfall 002 consists of (0.008 mgd
maximum) sanitary wastewater treated in a package sewage treatment plant, and Outfall
003 consists of untreated cooling water and stormwater runoff. Combined flow from the
three outfalls is 0.60 mgd (maximum) and discharge is to an unnamed tributary to the
Ohio River. Effluent limitations at Outfall 101 are based on BFT/BAT effluent
guidelines from a production rate of 1.34 million square feet per day. A schedule of
compliance allows a delay in achieving effluent guideline monthly average limits for
oil and grease, iron, and zinc until September 1, 1986 because the facility is unable
to meet these limits at the effective date of the permit. At Outfall 002, fecal
coliform limits are based on water quality standards and ammonia nitrogen is limited
based on the waste load allocation needed to satisfy State regulations. Rationale for
other limits at Outfall 002 is not given. Effluent limits imposed on the combined
discharge of the facility's three outfalls are based on water quality standards.

WV0004626: Quaker State Oil Refining Corp. is located two miles south of Newell, West
Virginia, and is in the Petroleum Refining Category (40 CFR 419). The facility
manufactures finished oil products (SIC 2911) from Pennsylvania crude oil which
include lube oils, waxes, gasoline, and distillate fuels. The oils are blended and
packaged on site. The plant has two discharges to the Ohio River: Outfall 001 is
process wastewater and contaminated stormwater runoff, and Outfall 002 is cooling
tower blowdown. Treatment of 001 is not specified; 002, however, enters the river
untreated. The permit limitations for 001 are based on BPT/BAT effluent guidelines
for Subpart 0, Lube Subcategory (40 CFR 419.42, 419.43). Cooling tower blowdown is
not covered in the guidelines for the petroleum refining industry. Therefore, for
waste stream 002, the promulgated BAT guidelines for the Steam Electric Power
Generating Category (40 CFR 423.13) are applied, based on a EPJ determination. The
permit contains a schedule of compliance to construct a filtration system and an
aeration basin; the start-up dates were to be 6/1/85 and 10/1/85, respectively. The
permittee was to submit a proposal to install and/or construct a representative
sampling point and continuously recording flow measuring device for the actual cooling
tower blowdown to the river by 2/20/84. Until the construction is completed, interim
limits will apply. Biomonitoring requirements include semi-annual 48-hour static
toxicity tests in replicate, conducting a minimum of four bioassays at 001 using
Daphnia Pulex as the test species and conducting a minimum of three bioassays at 002
using fathead minnows as well as Daphnia Pulex. The permit may be modified to
incorporate a toxicity reduction plan. The facility will perform a study to determine
the soirees of copper, zinc, and phenolic compounds in the blowdown, and was required
to submit a BME plan not later than 3/20/84.

WV0004740: Weston Chemical Company, 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 treatment 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 discnarged 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.

sedimentation and dechlorination. Effluent limitations are based on BPJ for BAT and
water quality standards. The facility has applied for a revision of water quality
standards for chlorides, hexavalent chromium, total cyanide, ammonia, and fluoride. A
previously granted variance was rescinded due to an over-chlorination problem causing
adverse impacts on the benthic community observed in June, 1980. As a result, bioassay
requirements were added to the permit for Outfall 001. Dechlorination has led to good
recovery: Nearly 100% survival in 100% effluent. Quarterly 48-hour acute static
toxicity tests using fathead minnows and Daphnia Pulex as test species are required.
An annual benthic survey is to be conducted at Turkey Run the third quarter of each
calendar year. A BMP plan was to be submitted by March 3,. 1985.

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/1 (in
stream); the background level in the stream is 0.0015 mg/1. Seasonally variable limits
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 limits should be issued. The permit was
under appeal at the time this abstract was written.

WV0023281: Wheeling Pittsburgh Steel Corp. of Follansbee, West Virginia, is in the
Iron and Steel Manufacturing Category (40 CFR 420) producing sinter for use in iron
blast furnaces (SIC 3312). A single discharge enters the Ohio River from Outfall 001
consisting of noncontact cooling water, clearwell overflow, surface runoff, and
process wastewater (wet scrubber blowdown) from internal Outfall 101. Cfcily process
wastewater is treated, receiving neutralization and clarification before combining
with 001. Because 001 contains large amounts of noncontact cooling water and
clearwell overflow, technology-based mass limits are not imposed. Limits on 101,
however, are based on BPT (=BCT)/BAT guidelines using a production rate of 1722 tpd of
sinter. The facility claims that because of past restraints put on the treatment
system by the imposition of pH limits on 101, zinc limits may not be achievable.
Therefore, pH is now limited at 001 and deleted from 101. According to a compliance
schedule, the permittee shall achieve the monitoring requirements pertaining to sample
type at 001 no later than 11/29/85. During the interim, 24 hour comp. samples shall
be taken as grab samples. Biomonitoring requirements are not included. The permit
does contain a BMP plan.

WY0001546: Star Valley Cheese Co-op operates a cheese processing plant (SIC 2026)
in Thayne, Wyoming, and is in the Dairy Products Processing Category (40 CFR 405).
(Xitfall 001 is process wastewater, and Outfall 002 is an untreated waste stream
consisting of noncontact cooling water. Both outfalls are discharged to the East- Ririp
Canal. Due to previous water pollution problems, the facilty has modified its
wastewater treatment system. Process wastewater is routed to equalization tanks and
then to either of two aerated reactor vessels, where chemicals are added to further
the treatment process. After aeration, settling occurs, and the clear liquid portion
is decanted and discharged through 001. A sludge drying system will be installed and
the dried sludge will be used as animal feed. The permit limits are EPJ based on a
State of Wyoming determination that BCT=EPT effluent guidelines, using the following
production rates: 5900 lb/d of butter, 5200 lb/d of mozarella and provalone cheese,
and 21100 lb/d of ricotta cheese. Biomonitoring requirements and a BMP plan are not
included; however, the permit does contain a standard reopener clause for toxic
pollutants.

WY0031241: 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 = BFT (using existing BPJ guidelines); and water quality for pH,
0 & G, and Fecal Coliform. The permit has no schedule of compliance as it is for a
