INTRODUCTION
Chattanooga, Tennessee, was designated early in FY 1972 by the
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as one of several "priority areas"
throughout the nation where the damaging effects of pollution were wide-
spread and especially severe. Field surveys, coupled with appropriate
planning, state coordination, and enforcement actions are being concen-
trated in these areas in an effort to meet Federal/State water quality
standards.
The specific objectives of this study were:
® Identify and characterize waste sources discharging to
Chattanooga Creek,
o Determine the water quality of Chattanooga Creek,
o Determine the character of waste entering the Tennessee
River from the Moccasin Bend Sewage Treatment Plant,
e To provide information for appropriate abatement actions for
the entire Chattanooga area downstream from the City Water
Company intakes.
Climatic conditions during the study were seasonal. Heavy rains occurred
on March 2 and 9 (0.90 and 0.86 inches, respectively) which gave good
runoff representations for both stream water quality and industrial dis-
charges affected by rainfall. Chemical and microbiological data contained

The cooperation and assistance of the Tennessee Water Quality Control
Board and especially the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) for allowing us
-------
v..
to use their laboratory space was greatly appreciated. Special thanks is
also extended to the many industrial personnel who assisted us at the
plants investigated.

FINDINGS
1. Wastes from the Rossville Development Corporation Complex — which
houses Borg Fabrics, Rossville Yarn Processing Corporation, Rossville
Spinning Corporation, Rossville Carpet Dyeing and Rossville Mills,
as well as the adjoining Kenyon Southern facilities and the nearby
Standard Coosa Thatcher plant across Maple Street — contribute to
the pollution of McFarland's Branch even though most of the wastes
are discharged to the sewer. Numerous spills and dumps occurred
from the Southern Coosa Thatcher and Southern Kenyon plants. The
Rossville Development Corporation has a continuous discharge reported
to be cooling water and boiler soot blowdown. This discharge con-
tained a COD concentration of 3,000 mg/1 for one sample collected
during the survey.
2. Chattem Drug and Chemical Company discharges part of its waste to
Chattanooga Creek and part to the municipal sewer system. The
portion flowing untreated to the stream is primarily cooling water,
floor washings and spills. This flow of approximately 500 gpm is
heavily contaminated and represents a waste load of 1,100 lbs/day
BOD5 and 770 lbs/day of nitrogen to Chattanooga Creek. The strong
odor of isopropyl alcohol was evident in the waste stream on several
occasions.
3. Crane Company had unusually high lead concentrations in its waste
discharge. Concentration values ranged from 28.13 to 57.5 mg/1
with an average discharge rate of 1,600 gpm.
-------
Dixie Sand and Gravel Company is presently discharging large amounts
of silt and fine sand from the land based sand washer. Total resi-
due on two occasions was 13,209 and 6,182 mg/1 with approximately
90 percent of the material being nonfilterable (suspended solids).
The average daily (16 hours) waste loading was 108,736 lbs/day total
residue and 98,385 lbs/day nonfilterable residue.
The L&N Railroad Wauhatchie Yards has five discharges to Black Creek
a tributary of Lookout Creek. Total oil and grease discharged from
the facility averaged 47.2 lbs/day. Only gravity separation is pro-
vided on the oil separator at Station L&N-2 and the oil pond used
to collect site drainage.
Modern Maid, Inc. discharges ceramic ground coat and pickling waste
to a storm sewer which flows into Dobbs Branch. The ceramic base
coat waste causes excessive solids concentrations and turbidity in
Dobbs Branch and Chattanooga Creek.
Reilly Tar ard Chemical Corporation stores all concentrated phenolic
waste in a bio-oxidation pond. Personnel from the company reported
that when phenolic concentration in the pond falls below 1 ppm, the
contents of the pond are batch discharged to Chattanooga Creek. A
flow averaging 10.3 gpm of additional process waste is continuously
discharged through a straw filter oil trap to the creek. The BOD5
and phenolic concentration of this stream averaged 118 and 20.5 mg/1
respectively.
-------
Roper Corporation has four untreated waste streams flowing to an
unnamed tributary of the Tennessee River. Two settling basins are
completely filled with sediment and serve no useful purpose. The
average combined waste flow was 144 gpm. BCD^ values ranged from 2.0
to 198 mg/1 and total solids from 403 to 2,006 mg/1. Based on a 12-
hour workday, the BOD5 loading is 77 lbs/day and the total solids
loading is 1,140 lbs/day.
Swift Edible Oil Company discharges most of its process waste to
the municipal sewer system; however, one concentrated waste stream
was discharged directly to a tributary of Chattanooga Creek. The
BOD5 concentration of this stream ranged from 380 to 2,900 mg/1, and
oil and grease ranged from 210 to 4,100 mg/1 with an average of
2,170 mg/1. Based on an average flow of 25 gpm, the discharge .con-
tained 498 lbs/day of BOD5 and 651 lbs/day of oil and grease.
Velsicol Chemical Corporation has four waste streams. Most of the
process waste (Station VE-4) flows to the municipal waste system;
while the ot^er three streams flow into Chattanooga Creek and contain
various amounts of process waste and surface runoff. The largest
of these surface discharges (Station VE-1) contains plant site runoff,

* Discharged to the municipal sewer system
Chattanooga Coke and Chemicals (Woodward Corporation) discharges part
of its waste to the municipal sewer system and the remaining portion
to a tributary of Chattanooga Creek. The stronger wastes from the
plant are used for coke quenching with the excess discharged to the
creek. This involves waste from the ammonia still and the benzene,
toluene, xylene (BTX) plant.
There are three waste streams flowing from the plant to surface
streams. The major source (Station WO-2) flowing at an average
rate of 52 gpm contained ammonia still and BTX plant waste as well
as leachate through an old acid dump area. Values of the observed
parameters were:

-------
The total residue waste loading averaged 17,000 lbs/day of which
16,100 lbs/day was volatile residue.. This highly polluted waste
combines with the strong waste stream from Velsicol (Station VE-2)
and flows through a tributary stream (Station CT-2) to Chattanooga
Creek.
The other two waste streams flowing from the north side of the
plant property contain some contamination which indicates leakage
or drift from the quench operation.
12. The Moccasin Bend Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) receives a municipal
waste composed of roughly 70 percent industrial waste. The waste
is strong, highly colored and difficult to treat because of varying
flow rates and concentrations. Operational difficulties and odor
problems have forced municipal authorities to close the secondary
sludge handling facilities (Zimpro Process). All wasted secondary
sludge is discharged directly to the effluent. Waste loadings

NOTE: These values do not reflect the secondary sludge presently
being discharged from the plant.
-------
The Moccasin Bend STP is discharging a considerable amount of
oxygen demanding and toxic materials to the Tennessee River. The
treated plant effluent is as strong or stronger than typical raw
municipal waste, even discounting the unmeasured waste sludge
discharge.
13. The combined sewerage system has a number of regulation chambers
which permit overflow to the surface streams. During periods of
excessive surface runoff, the regulator chambers discharge raw sewage
into the Tennessee River and tributary streams. Evidence of this
waste discharge was very apparent in Dobbs Branch and Chattanooga
Creek during the rain of March 2, 1973.
14. The water quality in Chattanooga Creek deteriorates significantly
downstream from the state line. The most significant waste sources
(from Velsicol and Woodward) enter Chattanooga Creek via an unnamed
stream at RM 5.3. The other major waste source entering the creek
is from Dobbs Branch. This branch contains waste from Modern Maid, Inc.,
overflow from the municipal sewer system, and numerous unidentified
discharges.
15. Unauthorized discharges to the Montague Park area storm sewer are a
major source of untreated wastewater to Dobbs Branch. Although the
XIA J «>%-«-. W n ¦! J rt J -J t Tn n ^ n I *v* r» rv,
of a very fibrous constituent discharge at the mouth of the sewer was
not determined.
-------
10
16. Wheland Foundry has discharges containing high solids concentrations.
One 2.5 gpm discharge sampled had a total solids concentration of
4,920 mg/1 and a COD of 1,910 mg/1. The old dumping area for used
sand and dust from air pollution control equipment has been pushed
onto the flood plain of Chattanooga Creek, from where it easily washes
into the creek. A new dump planned for property across the creek
will result in more solids entering Chattanooga Creek if a retaining
wall isn't constructed to contain the sand.
-------
RECOMMENDATIONS
Improvements to the Chattanooga sewerage system should be given a
very high priority by all agencies concerned.
g A thorough treatability study of industrial waste discharges
to the sewerage system should be conducted and used as back-
ground information for developing effective and enforceable
pretreatment ordnances,
o Provision for treatment of secondary waste sludge at the
Moccasin Bend plant should be made as soon as possible,
probably by resolving the dispute between Zimpro Corporation
and the City of Chattanooga as quickly as possible,
e A large aerated mixing and storage reservoir should be con-
sidered to store excess water in high flows during storms
and to equalize the highly variable waste strength received
at the Moccasin Bend plant.
The Chattanooga Coke and Chemicals Company should immediately install
interim treatment to reduce BOD, cyanide, phenols, ammonia, oil and
grease, and to neutralize the acid in its present waste discharge. A
permit for this company should include the requirement for immediate
interim treatment to function until such time as best practical
available technology or better is installed.
Velsicol Chemical Corporation should immediately collect and treat
all process and contaminated surface runoff discharged from its
property. Interim treatment measures should be required while more
adequate treatment facilities are being built.
-------
4. Swift Edible Oil Company should install complete and adequate
treatment for the wastewater currently being discharged through
the storm drains to Chattanooga Creek.
5. The City of Chattanooga should make an investigation to eliminate
raw waste discharges to its storm sewer system, particularly in the
Montigue Park area. All discharges to the storm sewer should apply
for both state and federal permits.
6. Modern Maid, Inc. should install complete and adequate treatment for
the wastewater currently being discharged through the storm drains
to Dobbs1 Branch.
7. The L&N Railroad Wahatchie Yards should upgrade its oil removal
system. Treatment should be provided for all discharges. Emulsion
breakers should be added and air flotation equipment should be
installed for all emulsified oil wastes.
8. Chattem Drug and Chemical Company should make a concerted effort to
reduce its total waste flow by reduced water usage and recycling.
The waste stream now flowing to Chattanooga Creek should be provided
complete treatment before discharge.
9. The Crane Company should isolate and separately treat its individual
waste streams. The waste stream containing the high lead concentration
should be adequately treated or lead should be eliminated from the
operation.
10. Dixie Sand and Gravel should install adequate waste treatment
facilities. This would probably involve the use of cyclone separators
followed by mechanical clarifiers, since adequate area is not
available for settling ponds.
-------
11. Wastes from the Roper Corporation should be given adequate treatment
before discharge.
12. The Southern Coosa Thatcher Company in Rossville and the Southern
Kenyon Company should immediately construct facilities to contain or
•prevent their frequent dye or pigment spills.
13. The Rossville Development Corporation should provide adequate treat-
ment for the boiler soot blowdown before discharge.
14. Reilly Tar and Chemical Company should insure that its discharge meets
best practical waste treatment limits.
15. Waste discharge from Wheland Foundry should be treated to remove coal
fines and other pollutants before discharge into Chattanooga Creek.
Retaining walls or other methods of stabilizing the dump tailings
should be installed to prevent foundry sand and dust from the air
control equipment from entering the creek.
-------
STUDY AREA
This study was concentrated primarily on point source waste dis-
charges to Chattanooga Creek and its tributaries (See fold-out map at
back of report). In addition, other main industrial discharges not included
in the Chattanooga . . Part I report (1) were included. The effluent
from the Moccasin Bend STP was also included since most of the industries
along Chattanooga Creek discharge at least a portion of their waste to the
municipal system.
The headwaters of Chattanooga Creek are located approximately 12
miles south of the Tennessee-Georgia state line. The creek flows north
through a long, narrow valley bounded on the east by Missionary Ridge
and on the west of Lookout Mountain. Major tributaries are Dobbs Branch
at mile 2.1, McFarland Branch at mile 6.1, and Dry Branch a't mile. 6.6.
The downstream portion of the Chattanooga Creek watershed is heavily
populated by the cities of Rossville, GA, and Chattanooga, TN, with a
considerable amount of industrial activity ranging from carpet dyeing to
drug manufacturing. One very large municipal landfill is located at
38th Street. This landfill has just recently been filled and "covered".
Since the fill is located on the edge of Chattanooga Creek and is subject
to partial inundation each time it rains, this will be a significant pol-
lution source for many years. Numerous (10 to 20) industrial, public
and private landfills line the banks of Chattanooga Creek throughout the
lower 10 miles of the stream. Most of the dumps are uncovered and
poorly maintained.
-------
PRESENT WATER USES
Water Supply
Neither Chattanooga Creek nor its tributaries are being used for
domestic or industrial water supplies.
Fish and Aquatic Life
Chattanooga Creek within Tennessee and Dobbs' and McFarland's Branches
are not suitable for the propogation of a diverse aquatic life because of
domestic and industrial waste discharges.
Recreation
Chattanooga Creek and its tributaries are useless for any type of
recreation. In addition to pollution, the streams are so choked with
litter that they are aesthetically unacceptable.
Irr igation
Irrigation is not practiced in the immediate study area.
Livestock Watering and Wildlife
The upper reaches of both Chattanooga and Dry Creek are used for
livestock watering. A few cattle were seen grazing near Station CT-2.
Navigation
The Tennessee River in the vicinity of the study area is heavily .
used by barge traffic. Chattanooga Creek does not support barge traffic,
but materials (such as rolls of fiberglass from dumps) washed from
Chattanooga Creek could interfere with navigation in the River.

PREVIOUS STUDIES
A comprehensive listing of pollution sources in the Chattanooga
area is included in the transcript of a public hearing held on
December 2, 1971 (2). This hearing was conducted, transcribed, and
published by the Tennessee Water Quality Control Board and includes a
brief discussion of each pollution source.
A report by the Tennessee Stream Pollution Control Board, "Stream
Pollution Survey of the Chattanooga Area - 1964" (3), identified
several point sources and included a discussion of each pollution source.
A subsequent Tennessee Stream Pollution Control Board study in 1965
of interstate streams in the area (4) concluded . . that significant
organic and bacterial pollution could be entering Tennessee through
tributary streams" from Georgia.
In 1967 and 1969, the Tennessee Valley Authority collected chemical
data on Chattanooga Creek and other Tennessee River tributary streams.
Samples were collected at monthly intervals through calendar year 1969.
No report was published.
In 1969 , a biological study of the Tennessee Basin streams of
northwest Georgia was conducted by the Georgia Water Quality Control
Board (5). This study included Chattanooga Creek and its tributaries.
A report entitled "Biological Investigation of Tennessee Basin Streams
of Northwest Georgia" was later published.
-------
STUDY METHODS
GENERAL
This survey was conducted by the Surveillance and Analysis Division
personnel, EPA, Athens, Georgia, with the assistance of personnel from
the Enforcement Division, Region IV, Atlanta, Georgia. Laboratory space
was provided by the Tennessee Valley Authority in their old water
laboratory at 10th and Lindsay Streets in Chattanooga. Field crews col-
lected water samples and measured flow, pH, and temperature. Bacteriologica
BOD5, acidity, alkalinity, and pH determinations were made in the field
laboratory. Samples for other analyses were shipped back to the Athens
laboratory. Analytical methods used are listed in Appendix A.
Biological methods are included in the "BIOLOGY" discussion under
"STREAM DATA AND OBSERVATIONS".
CHATTANOOGA CREEK SEDIMENT
Sediment samples were collected with a Petersen dredge at Stations
C-0.6 and 8.1.
WASTE SAMPLING
EPA automatic samplers were used to collect 24-hour composite samples
from some industries ar.d the Moccasin Bend Sev.7age Treatment Plant while
intermittent discharges or industries operated on less than a 24-hour basis
were evaluated by either grab samples or manually composited samples. Grab
samples were collected for any analyses requiring special preservation or
collection techniques. Flows were determined from in-plant flow measuring
devices, temporary weirs, bucket and stop watch, or estimates.
-------
STREAM QUALITY
Stream samples were collected from Chattanooga Creek, Dobbs Branch,
Dry Creek, and McFarland's Branch. The sampling' stations are shown in
Figure 1 and listed in Appendix B. Samples for chemical analyses and
dissolved oxygen were taken at the one-foot-depth. Bacteriological
samples for coliform were collected at one-foot depth by a grab sampling
technique.
MICROBIOLOGICAL METHODS
Sampling
All stream samples analyzed for coliform bacteria were collected
near the surface using a grab technique. The samples were collected in
sterile glass containers and placed on ice until time of analysis. Most
samples were analyzed within four hours after collection and all within
eight hours after collection.
All Moccasin Bend Sewage Treatment Plant -samples were collected at
the automatic samplers which pump water from the chlorine contact tank.
Samples were collected at three-hour intervals for two 24-hour periods.
Other effluent samples were collected once each morning for five days.
All samples were dechlorinated using 0.2 ml of a sterile 10 percent
sodium thiosulfate solution. All samples were placed on ice and were
analyzed within eight hours after collection.
Stream samples collected for Salmonella isolation were obtained using
a modification of the swab technique of Moore (6). Sanitary napkins
(swabs) were folded, gauze ends tied together, and a length of heavy
string attached. Prepared swabs were wrapped in kraft paper and sterilized
-------
Sterile swabs were suspended beneath the water surface at all Chattanooga
Creek stations for five days, then retrieved and returned to the laboratory
for analysis.
Examination
Total Coliform Enumeration : The standard coliform procedure outlined
in Standard Methods (7) for the five-tube MPN multiple-tube dilution was
used. The procedure employs lauryl tryptose broth incubated at 35 + 0.5°C
for 24 and 48+3 hours followed by confirmation using brilliant green
lactose bile broth incubated at 35 + 0.5°C for 24 and 48+3 hours.
Fecal Coliform Enumeration: The fecal coliform procedure outlined in
Standard Methods (7) for the five-tube MPN multiple-tube dilution was used.
The procedure employs the standard presumptive test using lauryl tryptose
broth followed by fecal coliform confirmation using EC medium at an elevated
temperature (44.5° + 0.2°C waterbath) for 24+2 hours.
Salmonella Isolation and Identification: Swabs used for isolation
purposes were placed into wide-mouth jars containing approximately 200 ml

inoculated enrichment was incubated from 24 to 48 hours at 41.5°C accord-
ing to the procedure of Spino (8). After either primary or sub-culture
enrichment, an inoculum for each enrichment was streaked onto Xylose
Lysine Desoxycholate Agar (XLD) and Hektoen Enteric Agar (HE) plates and
incubated at 35 + 0.5°C for 18-24 hours. Suspected Salmonella colonies
were picked from the respective plates and subjected to the identification
scheme outlined in Table .

AERIAL PHOTOGRAPHY
Aerial photography of the Chattanooga area was flown in January 1973
by the Environmental Surveillance Branch of the National Environmental
Research Center - Las Vegas (NERC-LV). The photographs clearly confirmed
:he presence and extent of pollution problems (note the white color of
)obbs Branch — left center of Figure . The stereoscopic coverage was
particularly useful in outlining drainage basins in which to search for
sources of pollution because divides between watersheds are well defined
by the vertical exaggeration of the stereo-pairs.

WASTE SOURCE RESULTS
GENERAL
The industrial effluent data obtained during the survey is con-
tained in Appendix D.
INDUSTRIAL WASTES
Combustion Engineering, Inc.
Combustion Engineering employs over 5,000 people in the manufacture
of boilers and pressure vessels.
The company discharges wastewater which is primarily cooling water
to the Tennessee River at RM 462.1 (Figure 2).
Discussion of Analytical Data
The flow during the EPA study was estimated to be 50 gpm. Grab
composite samples were collected on March 6 and 7 from the effluent pipe.
BOD5 concentrations averaged less than 4 mg/1, while total nitrogen
averaged 1.1 mg/1.
TOC concentrations ranged from 2.0 to 11.0 mg/1.
Temperature and pH of the wastewater were in the range of 17°C and
7.6-8.0 pH units, respectively.
Chattem Drug and Chemical Company
Chattem Drug plant located at 1715 West 38th Street employs a total
of spnroxtsly 120 persons v7orking shifts p^r d3vJ s

system; however, a portion of the company's process water and cooling
water is being discharged to a storm drain which enters Chattanooga
Creek (Figure 3).
Chattem Drug manufactures a large number of medicinal chemicals and
pharmaceutical products, many of which are derived from vegetable extracts.
The major chemicals produced are aluminum isopropylate, dihydroxy aluminum
carbonate, and glycine. Aluminum isopropylate is made in two different
units, one for sale as a finished product, and the other as an intermediate
in the production of dihydroxy aluminum sodium carbonate.
The basic raw products used at Chattem are: sodium bicarbonate,
isopropyl alcohol, aluminum, ammonia and acetic acid.
Discussion of Analytical Data
The total flow (500 gpm) being discharged to the storm water sewer
contained significant loads of BOD5 (1,100 lbs/day), COD (2,340 lbs/day),
and total nitrogen (770 lbs/day). The dissolved, total, and total
volatile residue loadings were 4,870, 4,930, and 2,450 lbs/day, respectively.
Several times during the reconnaissance and survey, a strong odor
of isopropyl alcohol was detected in the waste stream. The TOC concen-
trations averaged 158 mg/1 and correlated well with the suspected presence
of organic compounds in the wastewater. Approximately one-half of the
average total residue concentration (822 mg/1) was composed of volatile
matter (409 mg/1) which was 98 percent dissolved residue. The residue
data clearly show that a high concentration of dissolved organic matter
was in the discharge.

Chattem Drug Company
-------
TKN concentrations ranged from 82.5 to 185 mg/1 and averaged 127 mg/1
with an average ammonia concentration of 101 mg/1.
Chattem Drug is contributing a substantial amount of oxygen demand-
ing pollutants to the downstream portion of Chattanooga Creek already
heavily polluted by upstream waste sources.
Crane Company
The Crane Company, Chattanooga Enamelware Plant, is located at 33rd
Street and Alton Park Boulevard and employs approximately 400 people on
a three-shift, five-day per week basis.
The enamelware plant has a foundry operation for the melting of
scrap steel and subsequent casting of bathtubs, sinks, and lavatories.
After casting and cooling, the fixture is sprayed with a ground coat cover,
heated to around 1600°F or higher, removed from the furnace and dusted.
This step may be repeated several times to obtain an even coat. The
porcelain enameling process involves the re-fusing of powdered glass on
the metal surface.
The wastewater in the plant is generated in cooling the cupola in
the foundry, from casting sand, air pollution scrubbing equipment, and
washing operations in the mixing of cover coat materials. The wastewater
discharges (Figures A and 5) into an old oxbow of Chattanooga Creek which
was cut off when the creek was rechanneled. The water flowing into the
creek had a black-grey color and an average temperature of 31°C. Water
discharges into Chattanooga Creek from the old stream via two pipes which
enter below the water level of the creek. During the heavy rains of
March 2, a distinct plume of oil could be seen boiling into the main
channel of Chattanooga Creek from this point.

Discussion of Analytical Data
The average flow was 1,600 gpra with a slightly acid pH. The pH
ranged between 4.7-6.0 pH units.
The carbon content of the wastewater was relatively low as observed
in the average concentrations of BOD5, COD, and TOC which were <20, <50,
and 9 mg/1, respectively. Oil and grease concentrations averaged <5 mg/1.
The average iron concentration was 23.9 mg/1 (460 pounds per day).
Extremely high concentrations of lead were found — ranging from 28.13 to
57.5 mg/1 with an average of 38.7 mg/1 (744 pounds/day).
Total residue concentrations averaged 3,610 mg/1 (69,400 pounds per
day) of which 83 percent (3,000 mg/1) was total volatile residue. Four
percent of the total or an average concentration of 152 mg/1 (2,920
pounds/day) was nonfilterable residue.
Dixie Sand and Gravel Company
Dixie Sand and Gravel plant, located at 515 River Street, operates
two 8-hour shifts per day for five days per week. The company dredges
from the Tennessee River and transports the unprocessed material to its
land based plant. The process includes washing and screening, followed
by crushing of the larger aggregate. The discharged washwater is heavily
laden with silt and fine sand and is discharged untreated to the Tennessee
River.
Discussion of Analytical Data
The flow was reported by company officials to be 1,400 gpm. The
high velocity of the wastewater made representative sampling for residue
(solids) difficult. Results of two grab samples were :

In.both cases, the nonfilterable portion made up approximately 90 percent
of the total residue concentration. The waste loadings for total and
nonfilterable residues were 108,700 and 98,400 pounds per 16 hours,
respectively. This would represent an unusually heavy workday, since the
washer is usually periodically shutdown during the day.
Gilman Paint and Varnish Company
Most of the operations involved in mixing paints are physical. The
resins, oils, and pigments are first mixed, passed through grinding mills
and then mixed with tinting and thinners. The liquid paint is strained
into a transfer tank or into the hopper of the filling machine.
Varnishes are produced by mixing natural and synthetic resins in oils
and solvents. Various types of varnish require different manufacturing
techniques.
The company is discharging all process water to the city sewer but
has one discharge cooling water which contains traces of paint. Company
officials indicated that a sink where paint brushes containing latex paint
were occasionally washed had become clogged and the maintenance department
had connected the drain to the cooling water discharge.
During the EPA study, water samples collected from the cooling water
effluent did not contain any evidence of water quality degrading materials.
-------
On April 3, 1973, a letter was received from the company stating
that a cooling tower is being erected and should be installed by June 30,
1973, thus eliminating the cooling water discharge to the Tennessee River.
Happy Valley Farm
This dairy farm is located off of the Rossville-Ridgeland Road in
Georgia. During a visit to the farm, company officials reported that
construction was almost completed on a waste pretreatment facility. The
wastes were being discharged to the city sewer during the EPA study.
Prior to the installation of pretreatment equipment and discharge
to the Chattanooga sewerage system, this waste constituted a major
pollutional load into Dry Branch. The removal of this waste from surface
streams is credited as a major cause of water quality improvement since
the earlier studies cited in the Bibliography (3, 4, 5).
The Louisville & Nashville (L&N) Railroad Company
L&N operates a locomotive and car repair shop as well as fueling and
car washing facilities at the Wauhatchie Yard. The wastewater consists
of large quantities of oil and grease, cleaning solvents, and detergents.
Five waste streams originate on the company property, four of xvhich dis-
charge into Black Creek and one to Lookout Creek.
The treatment facilities include a small package extended aeration
plant with chlorination for domestic wastes (Station L&N-l — Figure-6.)
an oil skimmer which treats wastes from the repair shops (Station L&N-2 —
Figure 7); and a holding pond which collects yard drainage and contains a
significant amount of oil (Station L&N-3 — Figures 8, 9, and 10). The
soil under the yards is saturated with oil. Station L&N-4 is located at

at the Wauhatchie Yard contributed a total average of 70 pounds per day
of five-day Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD5). The average BOD5 concentrations
were :

Total organic carbon (TOC) concentrations were highest in the
effluent from the oil separator (L&N-2) ranging from 13 to 100 mg/1
(average: 45.3 mg/1) and at the ditch crrying yard runoff (L&N-4) ranged
from 18 to 133 mg'l (average: 82.7 mg/1). Total TOC waste loadings were
54 pounds per day with over half of the amount coming from L&N-2 and L&N-4.
Oil and grease concentrations were highest at L&N-2 , ranging from
18 to 61 mg/1, with an average waste loading of 7 pounds per day. L&N-3
had an average loading of 6.8 pounds per day. _The total waste load from
all five discharges for oil and grease was 47.2 pounds per day.
Total nitrogen waste loadings averaged 26 pounds per day. Kjeldahl
nitrogen and ammonia concentrations were minimal, but nitrate-nitrite
(NO3-NO2-N) concentrations were high, with concentrations at L&N-l averagin

33.8 mg/1 and 17.8 mg/1 at L-&N-5. Total phosphorus concentrations on
both L&N-l and L&N-2 were 7.20 and 6.73 mg/1, respectively.
The residue concentrations were relatively low except for one day
at L&N-2. On March 7, the total residue concentration at L&N-2 was 823
mg/1 and the nonfilterable residue concentration was 229 mg/1. On the.
same date, the total volatile residue concentration was 227 mg/1 including
64 mg/1 as volatile nonfilterable residue.
Modern Maid, Inc.
The Modern Maid plant located at East 14th Street at Holtzclaw
Avenue, manufactures kitchen ranges from stamped sheet steel. The steel
parts are cleaned by a sequence of alkaline cleaning, hot and cold water
rinses, pickling and rinse, nickel flushing and rinse, and neutralizing.
After-drying, the ground coat is sprayed on the metal, dried and fired.
The cover coat may be applied either to the cleaned metal, or over the
ground coat.
Wastewater is generated in the metal cleaning facility and contains
both alkali and acid materials and dissolved iron and nickel. Another
source of wastewater is in the ball-milling of the porcelain enamel frit
(quenched glass). The frit is milled with clay, electrolytes, and water
to form a stable suspension. The water from these mills are high in sus-
pended material, color, and turbidity.
Discussion of Analytical Data
Three stations were sampled during the study: MM-1 (pickling waste),
MM-2 (ceramic base coating waste) , and MM-3 (paint shop effluent). Wastes
from MM-3 are discharged to the city sewer system. Wastes at stations MM-1
-------
and MM-2 were found to be discharging to a storm sewer (Figures 14 and 15)
which drains to Dobbs Branch, verified by a dye release through the plant
effluents. Travel time through the sewer system was hours and total
travel time to Chattanooga Creek was about 10 hours.
The wastewater from the pickling operation had a low pH (2.3) and
contained iron, lead, and nickel concentrations averaging 231, 0.64, and
7.4 mg/1, respectively.
BOD5 and COD concentrations at all stations were low, averaging less
than 20 and less than 58 mg/1, respectively, at stations MM-1 and MM-2.
TKN concentration at MM-2 averaged 23.3 mg/1 with a waste load of 3.27
lbs/day.
Total residue from MM-1 and MM-2 averaged 254 and 369 pounds per day,
respectively. The nonfilterable residue at MM-2 averaged 238 pounds per
day. The average total residue loading from the three stations was 632
pounds per day. The average nonfilterable residue total was 240 pounds
per day.
Reilly Tar and Chemical Corporation
Reilly Tar ar-i Chemical plant on Central Avenue employs seven people
in the distillation of coal tar. Major products are roofing and conduit
pitch. The company also collects creosote oil during the distillation and
uses part of this oil to blend with the "base tar" to produce a satis-
factory pitch. The remainder of the oil is sold as creosote for wood-
preserving. The coal tar and the steam used for discillation are both
purchased from Woodward, Inc. located adjacent to the plant.
The wastewater treatment facility has a settling pond which receives
both surface and industrial water. The water then discharges through a

straw oil trap and via a 24-inch pipe to an unnamed tributary of Chattanooga
Creek. Concentrated phenolic wastes are pumped to a bio-oxidation pond
for treatment. According to company officials, the waste is held until
the phenolic concentration drops below one mg/1 and is then batch discharged
to the creek (Figure 16).
Discussion of Analytical Data
The flow from the treatment facility during the EPA study averaged
only 10.3 gpm. The concentrations for BOD5 , COD, and ammonia averaged
118, 224, and 5.0 mg/1, respectively, while the phenolic concentration
averaged 20.5 mg/1. Although these concentrations were high in most cases,
the waste loadings were low as a result of low flows. The bio-oxidation
pond was not discharging water during the survey.
G. D. Roper Corporation
Roper Corporation is located in north Chattanooga and discharges
wastewater to an unnamed branch which enters the Tennessee River at
RM 4 64.0. The plant manufactures kitchen ranges from stamped sheet steel.
After stamping operations, the parts are cleaned through a normal pickling
operation of alkaline cleaning, hot and cold water rinses, pickling and
rinse, nickel flushing and rinse, and neutralizing. After drying, the
ground coat is sprayed on the metal, dried and fried. The cover coat
may be applied either to the cleaned metal or over the ground coat.
wastewater from the plant is discharged at four different points.
Two discharges enter the branch directly while the other two streams
flow through settling ponds which are completely filled with sediment.

Company spokesman stated that the waste at Station RO-1 was primarily
welder cooling water; RO-2 consisted of cooling water and floor drains;
RO-3 consisted of paint shop, pickling line and enamel mill room waste-
water; RO-4 contains porcelain enamel waste. The content and color of
the waste at Stations RO-2, RO-3, and RO-4 varied from hour to hour during
the sampling period, while the waste at RO-1 remained clear.
Discussion of Analytical Data
The total average flow from the four discharge points was 144 gpm.
The waste at Stations RO-1 and RO-3 both had excessive concentrations of
BOD5. The BOD5 concentrations at Stations RO-1 ranged from 5.1 to 143 mg/1
with an average of 83.4 mg/1, indicating that RO-1 had more than just
welding cooling water. The BOD5 concentrations at Station RO-3 ranged from
64 to 198 with an average greater than 134.8 mg/1. The BOD5 waste loads
at Stations RO-1 and RO-3 were 37.6 and 104.1 pounds per day, respectively,
and 142 pounds per day total. The waste loads measured at Stations RO-2
and RO-4 were low with only 12 pounds of BOD5 per day.
TOC concentrations varied greatly at Stations RO-1 and RO-3 ranging
from 2.0 to 43.0 lug/1 and 34 to 220 mg/1, respectively. TOC concentrations
were low at Stations RO-2 and RO-4.
COD followed the same trend as BOD5 and TOC. Wastes at Station RO-1
had an average concentration of 124 mg/1. At Station RO-3 the average
concentration was 405 mg/1. The waste load discharges were 55.6 and 312.8,
respectively, with a total of 368.4 pounds per day.
Solids which present a major problem at Roper were previously settled
in two sedimentation basins. Since these basins are presently filled, the
material is now being discharged to the receiving stream.
-------
Due to the fact that the samples were composited grab samples of a
batch discharge industry, variance was observed in some of the solids data,
particularly at Station RO-2 where the range was from 388 to 1,020 mg/1
with an average of 753 mg/1. Some variation was noted at Station RO-4
with a range of 1,301 to 2,279 mg/1 (average 1,787). The following table

were generally low, but one concentration of 16.1 mg/1 of TKN was observed
on March 7 at station RO-3 with a correspondingly high pH of 10.4.

Rossville Textile Mills
The Rossville Development Corporation complex (RDC) houses : Borg
Fabrics, Rossville Yarn Processing Corporation, Rossville Spinning
Corporation, Rossville Carpet Dyeing Corporation, Rossville Mills, and
provides heating and air conditioning to the tenants. Kenyon Southern,
Inc. owns and occupies the southwest corner of the complex.
Borg Fabrics dyes synthetic fibers and knits them into backing
materials.
Rossville Yarn Processing Corporation processes synthetic filament
yarn for carpet use. It dyes, heat sets, and performs other physical
operations to produce a yarn of proper color, ply, and texture.
Rossville Spinning Corporation dyes and blends fibers for proper
type and color before spinning into yarn for carpet manufacturing.
Rossville Mills purchases yarns and adds various finish coatings.
The yarn is then woven into upholstery material. The company does no
d ye ing.
The complex is sewered by the Chattanooga system; however, several
storm and cooling water drains still carry waste to McFarland's Branch.
Kenyon Southern had an outside drain leading from a paved area where
-------
empty barrels used for storing pigment are stored. These barrels
often fill with rainwater and are emptied into the storm drain (Figures
17 and 18). The water contains pigment which causes Dye Branch, a small
tributary to McFarland's Branch, to become highly colored. Boiler blow-
down from Borg Fabrics is discharged directly to the stream.
The Standard Coosa Thatcher, National Plant, is located immediately
southwest of RDC and discharges surface runoff and uncontained spills to
Dye Branch. Process wastes from the yarn and pressure dyeing vats are
passed through a heat exchanger before discharge to the sewer system.
These plants are subject to spills such as one witnessed at Standard
Coosa Thatcher on March 1, 1972, where a pink dye was allowed to spill
from the building to an outside storm drain (Figure 19). On a sampling
run on March 6, 1973, a detergent-like discharge was observed and collected
at Dye Branch coming from Standard Coosa Thatcher.
Several times prior to and during the EPA study, highly colored
wastes were seen in McFarland's Branch, which clearly shows that all
textile process wastes are not discharged to the sewers.
Discussion of Analytical Data
Samples were collected from three different point sources at the
Rossville Complex. The storm drain from Kenyon Southern (Station SK-i)
which discharges into Dye Branch, had the following concentrations (in
addition to the strong yellow pigment) (Figure 20) :
© BOD5 - 28 mg/1
e TOC - 37 mg/1
© TKN - 1.30 mg/1
© COD - 132 mg/1
o pH - 10.9
o Total phosphorus - 1.02 mg/1
q Total residue - 1,558 mg/1
e Total volatile residue - 191 mg/1
o Total NFLT volatile residue - 160 mg/1

All of the above concentrations are considerably higher than those of
natural drainage.
The sample at station RD-1 was collected from a ditch downstream from
Standard Coosa Thatcher. The water quality was very similar to that at
Station KS-1 :
Station KDC-1 was sampled over a 3-day period, March 5-7. TOC con-
centrations were observed from 86 to 195 mg/1 with an average of 124 mg/1.
BOD5 concentrations were low averaging less than 6.4 mg/1, but COD
concentrations ranged from 324 to 3,000 mg/1 with an average of 1,230 mg/1.
One unusually high iron concentration of 85.7 mg/1 was found on March 6.
The next day company officials stated that they were discharging boiler
blow-down water and soot steam blasted from the combustion chamber.
Although color was not measured as a parameter, observations of
various colors being discharged into Dye Branch and McFarland's Branch
were noted by EPA personnel.
Total residue concentrations ranged from 825 to 4,7 20 mg/1 with an
average of 2,247 mg/1. Total volatile residues were high with two of
three values exceeding 1,000 mg/1. The average concentration was 769 mg/1.
On March 6 and 7, the total nonfilterable volatile residue was 70 and 90
percent, respectively, of the total volatile residue, which is about what
would be expected if this residue was, in fact, soot as claimed by
company officials.

Signal Mountain Portland Cement Company
Signal Mountain Portland Cement operates quarries and a cement plant
near the base of Signal Mountain. The cement is obtained by pulverizing
limestone rock, calcining and grinding to a fine powder. Clay, gypsum
and other additives are blended to obtain desired cements.
The waste stream consists primarily of cooling water and sediment.
The wastewater treatment system is a series of lagoons with a retention
time according to company reports, in excess of 10 days.
As would be expected from the type of operation, BOD5, TOC, and
nutrients were all low. The pH of the discharge was 10, and total iron
concentration was 2.5 mg/1. The total iron waste loading was 31.3 pounds
per day. The effluent was clear with a total residue concentration of
295 mg/1 of which 64 mg/1 was total nonfilterable residue.
Swift Edible Oil Company
(A Division of Swift and Company)
The Swift plant, located on Central Avenue, employs approximately
200 persons on a 7-day, 24-hour basis in the manufacturing of edible
oil products such as salad oil, margarine, and shortening. The major
raw products are soybean oil, cotton seed oil, and tallows. The crude
vegetable oils containing fatty acids are neutralized with caustic, form-
ing a soapy material called foots. The foots are removed by centrifuges
and recovered. The oil is bleached with adsorbent clay. For salad oil,
the bleached oil is deodorized and cooled, causing the stearin to crystal-
lize. The oil is filtered and the stearin is removed. For shortening,
the bleached oil is hydrogenated, rebleached, and deodorized by blowing
superheated steam through the oil.
-------
The wastewater from the plant is discharged after grease removal to
the city sewer. The sewer and stormwater drains enter a common sump but
are separated by a concrete partition. During the initial reconnaissance
in January 1973, white colored water with considerable flow was bypassing
the city sewer and going through the storm drain to an unnamed branch of
Chattanooga Creek (Figure 21). To ascertain that the storm drainage
did drain to Chattanooga Creek by the route described above, a slug of
dye was traced from the stormwater discharge point to the unnamed tributary
of Chattanooga Creek.
Discussion of Analytical Data
Composite samples were collected from the stormwater discharge from
March 6 through March 8. The estimated average flow was 25 gpm with one
high flow of 45 gpm reported during the initial sampling.
The BOD5 concentrations ranged from 380 to 2,900 mg/1 with an average
of 1,660 mg/1. The calculated waste loading was 498 pounds per day.
Although the flow was not high, a substantial load was being discharged
to the stream.
TOC concentrations ranged from 110 to 2,000 mg/1 with an average of
783 mg/1. The exceptionally high concentration of 2,000 mg/1 was found
on March 6 and was indicative of a spill containing a high carbon source.
Nutrient concentrations were about normal for seed oil plants. Total
phosphorus, however, was high and ranged from 18.3 to 7.4 mg/1 with an
average of 13.5 mg/1.
Oil and grease content ranged from 210 to 4,100 mg/1 with an average
of 2,170 mg/1. The high oil and grease content agrees with the high BOD5

-------
and TOC values found on March 6 and 8. These concentrations are the
direct result of spillage and washdown from within the plant. Waste
loadings for oil and grease represent a loss of 651 pounds per day. This
loss is evidenced by large deposits of grease and scum-like material in
the storm sewer and along the banks of the unnamed tributary flowing
behind Miller Brothers warehouse.
One unusually high zinc concentration, 12.6 mg/1, was noted on
March 6. This concentration was nearly 175 times greater than the lowest
value of 0.075 mg/1. Chromium and copper concentrations were negligible,
but an average of 6.7 mg/1 of iron was found.
pH values ranged randomly from 3.1 to 12.2. The high value, 12.2,
corresponded to the high concentrations of other parameters noted on

Total dissolved residue ranged from 691 to 2,855 mg/1 with an average
of 1,773 mg/1 (532 lbs/day). The average concentrations for total residue
and total volatile residue were 3,646 and 4,246 mg/1, respectively. Total
nonfilterable residue concentrations ranged from 6 to 4,940 mg/1 and
volatile nonfilterable residue concentrations ranged from 6 to 4,800 mg/1.
Volatile nonfilterable residue concentrations made up 97 percent of the
total volatile concentration which indicates that the residue is almost
solely organic.
Daily grab samples were also collected from the leakage around the

-------
Wastewater is generated by cooling water from hydraulic presses,
cupola and roof drains. Much of the turbid and oily wastewater generated
by pipe drawing operations is discharged to the city sewer system.
Wastewater samples were collected at three sources, station USP-1
from a 24" pipe discharging cooling water and detergent to the Tennessee
River station; USP-2 from a north storm sewer outfall; and station USP-3
from a south storm sewer outfall. All samples were manually composited.
Discussion of Analytical Data
The estimated flows during the study were;
e USP-1 - 150 gpm
© USP-2 - 40 gpm
o USP-3 - 40 gpm
B0D5 concentrations varied considerably from one day to the next and
from station to station. On March 7, the BOD5 concentrations were 80,
22, and 25 mg/1, respectively, at stations USP-1, 2, and 3. On March 8,
the same stations had concentrations of 7.4, 2.8, and 8.2 mg/1, respectively.
Station USP-1 had the only appreciable BOD5 waste load : averaging 144
pounds per day.
TOC trends followed the same pattern as the BOD5. The concentrations
were 60, 36, and 97 mg/1, respectively, for stations USP-1, 2, and 3 on
March 7.
Station USP-3 had a TKN concentration of 4.25 mg/1, including 1.92
mg/1 of ammonia; and a total phosphorus concentration of 2.02 mg/1.
The only metal found in excessive concentrations was iron. The dis-
charge at station USP-1 on March 7 contained 18.3 mg/1, a total waste load
-------
of 32.9 pounds per day. On the same day, concentrations of 15.1 and 42.2
rag/1 were observed at stations USP-2 and 3. On March 8, iron concentrations
at the same stations were from 6 to 20 times as high as the previous day.
The discharges had a combined waste load of 1,896 pounds per day of
total residue (solids). Station USP-1 had the highest average concentration
of both total residue (763 mg/1) and total nonfilterable residue (527 mg/1).
Total volatile and volatile nonfilterable residue average concentrations
were 102 and 27 mg/1, respectively. Station USP-3 residue was also high
with an average total residue concentration of 543 mg/1. The total non-
filterable residue average concentration was 123 mg/1. The volatile residue
average concentrations were 129 mg/1 total and 97 mg/1 volatile nonfilter-
able.
The to 12.1 nonf ilterable waste loading for all three discharges was
1,111 pounds per day. The volatile nonfilterable waste loading was 111
pounds per day. The data clearly show that process wastes are being dis-
charged to the Tennessee River along with cooling water. The company
stated that this will be changed by the end of "Vacation Shut-Down" on
August 6, 1973.
Velsicol Chemical Corporation
Velsicol is located at Central Avenue and employs approximately
280 employees on a 7-day, 24-hour-per-day basis. Surface drainage and
process leakage discharges into Chattanooga Creek while approximately
1.4 mgd of process waters are discharged to the city sewers.
Velsicol1s major building chemical is benzoic acid which is produced
on site by reacting toluene with air. Other chemicals manufactured on
-------
site are benzyl chloride, benzoyl chloride, benzyl alcohol, dibenzoate
esters of glycols, benzoguanamine, sodium benzoate, and benzotrichloride.
Approximately 200,000 pounds per month of dicamba, a chlorinated aryl acid
herbicide is produced at the Chattanooga plant.
Benzoic acid and its derivatives are large volume products and very
important to the chemical industry. They are used extensively as food
additivies, medicinals, corrosion inhibitors, textile dye carriers,
plasticizers, polymers, perfumes, and unlimited uses as a chemical inter-
mediate. Due to the extensive use of these chemicals, Velsicol manufactures
a wide variety of compounds and employs many raw chemicals in the process
reactions. The company wastewater being discharged to the city sewer
contains a large variety of these raw chemicals as well as unwanted by-
products. Such compounds as benzoic acid, sodium benzoate, and the
chemicals used in the production of dicamba have a high oxygen demand
and/or cause taste and odor problems. As in many chemical plants,
caustic and sodium chloride are used for chemical separation and then
discharged. Velsicol uses large volumes of chlorine and manufactures
marketable muriatic acid as a by-product.
The present wastewater collection and pretreatment system consists
of a settling pond which receives a large portion of the plant surface
drainage as well as process waters. A hill above the plant site is being
used for acid neutralization pits and ponds for still dredges. Some of
these chemicals may leach out as drainage water passes over the material
(Figures 22 and 23). Another part of the wastewater disposal system is
a liquid thermal oxidizer used to burn toxic or untreatable wastes. A
\o i &'
heavy backlog of chemicals to be burned are stacked in barrels on the
-------

plant property, and these present a potential pollution hazard to
Chattanooga Creek.
Discussion of Analytical Data
Three waste streams flowing from the plant property were sampled
during the study. Station VE-1 is located on the stream which carries
process waste and plant surface runoff. Station VE-2 is located on a
stream carrying storm drainage from the southeast side of the plant property.
(Prior to the EPA study, most of this drainage was diverted to the city
sewer.) The waste at Station VE-3 originates in the "intermediate" build-
ing and discharges through a ditch to a tributary of Chattanooga Creek.
Station VE-1 had an average flow of 105.5 gpm which ranged in color
from straw yellow to reddish yellow. The samples were grab-composited
during dry -weather and during one heavy rainfall.
BOD5 concentrations averaged 915 mg/1, a waste load of 1,160 pounds
per day. Both COD and TOC concentrations correspond with that of the
BOD5 with average concentrations of 1,680 mg/1 (2,130 lbs/day) and 1,160
mg/1 (1,470 lbs/day), respectively. The data from these three oxygen-
demand parameters clearly show that the stream is receiving a tremendous
loading of organic materials.
The stream at station VE-1 carried an extremely high load of cotal
residue. A summary of solids loading is listed below:

The nutrient data did not show any significant contribution to
Chattanooga Creek. The Beilly Tar and Chemical Corporation waste dis-
charge is included in the VE-1 sample, but due to the small flow, is
relatively insignificant when considering the total waste load in the
stream. (Reilly Tar and Chemical is discussed in greater detail in
another section in this report.)
The flow at Station VE-2 varied greatly, from 1.5 to 86.0 gpm
(average 43.8 gpm). The BOD5 loading was 188 pounds per day, while the
COD and TOC loadings were 348 and 126 lbs/day, respectively.
Station VE-2 is in a swampy area and the mud is saturated with chemi-
cals from past discharges from Velsicol. The water and mud had a distinc-
tive chemical odor and an oily appearance. As at Station VE-1, the residue
concentrations and loadings at VE-2 were high as summarized in the previous
table.
Station VE-3 had a fairly constant average flow of 33.5 gpm. The
water temperature, was hot, ranging from 24-58°C with an average of 44.4°C.
-------
Two BOD5 samples measured <20 mg/1 and 195 mg/1. The waste loading
based on the higher concentration, is 78 pounds per day. Average COD and
TOC loadings were 109 and 52 pounds per day, respectively. Nitrate-
nitrite concentrations were high, ranging from 0.46 to 3.06 mg/1 with an
average of 1.76 rag/1, but because of the small volume did not contribute
a high waste load. The residue concentrations were not of significance.
The residue waste loadings are listed in the above table.
Station VE-4 was a special sample collected from the discharge to the
city sewer system because this stream of concentrated surface runoff and
process waste contributes approximately three percent of the total flow to
the Moccasin Bend Sewage Treatment Plant (more than any other single
industry on the sewerage system). (The sewage treatment plant was studied
and is discussed in detail elsewhere in this report.) The samples at
Station VE-4 were automatically composited by EPA samplers over three
24-hour periods and flow was automatically recorded by company equipment.
The flow (922 gpm) contained significant loads of BOD5 (26,900 lbs/day),
COD (37,100 lbs/day), TOC (11,500 lbs/day), and ammonia (3,580 lbs/day).
The waste loadings for residue are listed in the previous table.
Wheland Foundry Division
The Wheland Foundry is located at 2800 South Broad Street and is in
production 24 hours a day, five to six days per week. According to plant
personnel, Wheland melts approximately 1,400 tons per day of pig iron and
scrap steel in coke fired furnaces. The metal is poured into green sand
molds to produce castings of which 95 percent are for automative parts,
mainly brake drums. Wastes from this foundry consist of cooling water,
-------
bentonite sand and sea coal used in casting.
During the January 1973 reconnaissance by EPA, the company had four
discharges flowing into Chattanooga Creek.. The pipe at Station WF-1
carried water from the melting plant and is primarily blowdown and over-
flow from a cooling tower. Pipes at stations WF-2 and WF-3 are primarily
storm drains and pump drainage. If any malfunction should occur in the
dust collection system, the overflow would enter the creek through the
pipe at station WF-3. The pipe at station WF-4 discharges cooling water
and surface runoff. Oil traps are situated to overflow to drains at
stations WF-1 and WF-4.
Solid waste control is a major problem at the foundry. The old dumping
area for used sand and dust collected from the air pollution control
equipment is finding its way into Chattanooga Creek since the material has
been dumped over the edges of the bank and covers the flood plain (Figure
24). Plans are being laid to start a new dump on property across the
creek which will result in more solids entering Chattanooga Creek if a
retaining wall isn't constructed to contain the sand. Corrective measures
should be undertaken to alleviate the problem of sand being washed into
the creek at the old site.
Discussion of Results
Since the plant was closed by a strike during the survey, a return
trip was necessary to sample the plant discharges. One five-hour composite
sample of each of three discharges was collected on May 24, 1973. The
pipe at station WF-1 had no flow.
-------
Figure 24
Landfill from Wneland Foundry
-------
When samples were collected, only the ones at Station UF-2 contained
large concentrations of waste, and this appeared to be primarily coal
fines. The flow was 2.5 gpm with a total solids concentration of 4,920
mg/1 and COD of 1,910 mg/1. The relatively clear flow from station WF-3
was 60 gpm, total solids was 154 mg/1, temperature was 21 to 23°F, and
COD was less than 50 mg/1. The 3,000 gpm of waste from WF-4 appeared to
be all cooling water. Temperatures of the three grab samples collected
to make the composite sample were 37°C, 22°F, and 29°F; total solids were
less than 50 mg/1, and COD was less than 124 mg/1.
Woodward Company
Chattanooga Coke and Chemicals Division
The Woodward plant located at 4800 Central Avenue has a coking
capacity of 382 tons per day. Both foundry and blast furnace cokes are
produced and the gases are collected "and separated into benzene, toluene,
and xylene in a standard BTX plant.
A part of the process wastewater from the ash rinse system is
discharged to the city system after pretreatment for solids. A portion
of the wastewater from the BTX unit, including the discharge from the
ammonia still, is used to quench coke. The remaining portion is discharged
untreated to Chattanooga Creek.
Drainage from the parking lot and roof drains is pumped into an unnamed
tributary to Chattanooga Creek, while an oil removal system treats water
flowing through an old plant dump area. This area was used for many years
to store acid sludges and the pli of the wastewater is very low.
During the initial EPA visit to the Woodward plant, the oil skimmer
was inoperative and appeared to have been so for some time. The motors
-------
had been removed from the system, the basin had been filled with dark,
oily sludge, and a 55-gallon drum was in the middle of the basin (Figures
25, 26, and 27).
Three sampling locations were included during the EPA study., Two
sources of discharge (stations WO-1 and W0-3) originate on the north side
of the plant property. The stream at station WO-1 consists of storm
drainage that collects in the area of the coal yard, but may contain some
<2
drift and leakage from the quenching area (Figure ^8). The stream at
station WO-3 originates from a spring-like source of bubbling water of
unknown source, but may also be coming from the quench tower.
The flow at station WO-1 averaged A.33 gpm; BOD5 averaged <8.0 mg/1;
COD measured <50, <50, and 65 mg/1; TKN averaged 38.0 mg/1; ammonia
averaged 37.2 mg/1; and phenolic concentrations ranged from 0.123 to 0.162
mg/1 with an average of 0.138 mg/1. More than stormwater drainage is
obviously being discharged at this point. It may be contaminated ground-
water. (See Table 2 for summary of loadings.)
The stream at station W0-2 is the main waste discharge and receives
a large volume of leakage from within the plant (Figures 29 and 30). The
flow averaged 52.3 gpm and contained high concentrations of the following
parameters :
BOD5 concentrations ranged from 86 to >600 mg/1 with an average
Ol t-i J J-•
Both COD and TOC concentrations were extremely high. The COD
concentrations ranged from 300 to 2,800 with an average of 1,073
mg/1, while TOC concentrations ranged from 120 to 860 mg/1 with an
average of 365 mg/1. The carbon levels indicate a highly concentrated

load of organic material.
Total nitrogen concentrations in the discharge are playing a
significant role in. the degradation of Chattanooga Creek. The
average TKN concentration was 4,400 mg/1 which was almost totally
ammonia nitrogen. Ammonia concentrations ranged from 1,070 to 7,320
mg/1 with an average of 4,060 mg/1. Nitrate-nitrite concentrations
averaged 1.9 mg/1.
Cyanide concentrations ranged from <0.01 to 9.70 mg/1 with an
average of 4.15 mg/1. Cyanides are toxic to aquatic life and begin
to show increased toxicity as the cyanide ion forms hydrogen cyanide
under acidic conditions. Since the pH at Station WO-2 was observed
to vary between 1.7 and 2.1 pH units, cyanide present in station WO-2
was probably highly toxic. Temperature also caused an increase in
cyanide toxicity; a 10°C temperature rise causes -a two to -threefold
increase in the lethal action (Reference #6). Water temperatures at
station WO-2 averaged 22.8°C with two readings of 40 and 37°C
recorded on March 7, 1973. This combination of low pH and high
temperature can be expected to increase the toxicity of cyanide in
the receiving stream.
Phenolic concentrations were higher than expected since much of
the phenolic wastes are reportedly discharged to the city sewer
system. The average concentrations for phenol ranged from 25.5 to
465 mg/1 and averaged 167.4 mg/1. Theoretically it takes about 2.33
times the amount of phenol present to completely oxidize phenol to
CO2. Based on the concentration and waste loading (105 lbs/day), a
substantial oxygen demand is being exerted on Chattanooga Creek.
-------
The total residue waste loading in WO-2 averaged 17,000 lbs/day
of which 16,100 pounds per day were total volatile residue. The
high concentrations of total volatile residue is indicative of dis-
solved organic compounds. The high TKN and phenolic concentrations
would account for a large part of the volatile residue content.
Total waste loadings for Station WO-2 are shown in Table 2.
MUNICIPAL WASTES
Moccasin Bend Sewage Treatment Plant
The Moccasin Bend sewage treatment plant is a secondary treatment
facility designed to treat 42 million gallons of municipal waste per day
(Figure 31). The plant serves the metropolitan Chattanooga area between
Missionary Ridge and Lookout Mountain from Rossville, Georgia, to the area
just north 'of the 'Tennessee River. This generally includes the Chattanooga
Creek Basin and the downtown area of Chattanooga. The major portion of
the sewer system in the older downtorn area consists of combined sewers
carrying both domestic waste and stormwater. During periods of heavy
rainfall, much of the waste is bypassed to surface streams throughout the
collection system. Flows reaching the Moccasin Bend plant in excess of
40 mgd are normally bypassed to the river to prevent plant overloading.
The wide variety of industrial process wastes discharged to the sewer
system comprise approximately 70 percent of the total flow to the plant.
Diurnal fluctuations in the waste characteristics present difficulties in
plant operations.
A schematic diagram of the plant is shorn in Figure 32. The Zimpro
sludge oxidation system listed as "New" on the schematic is in place and

was previously operated, but not satisfactorily. At the present time,
this section of the plant is closed, and excess secondary sludge is dis-
charged to the plant effluent which flows directly into the Tennessee
River. The plant has no secondary sludge handling capacity since the
shutdown of the Zimpro system.
Samples were collected from an automatic plant sampler which pumps
water from the chlorine contact chamber. This did not include the second-
ary sludge which was being discharged to the river. The sludge flows through
an underground line from the secondary clarifiers to the plant effluent line.
Since there are no access points along the line and the discharge is sub-
merged, samples containing the waste sludge were not taken.
Daily (24-hour) composite samples were collected for chemical analysis
for each of five days (See results in Table 3). Grab samples were
collected for bacteriological analysis. Influent or inplant samples were
not collected.
The results of chemical analysis definitely reflect the high industrial
xtfaste portion (about 70 percent) of the municipal waste. Average effluent
concentrations (loadings) of BOD5, COD, and TOC were 178 mg/1 (50,500
lbs/day), 409 mg/1 (116,400 lbs/day), and 102 mg/1 (29,000 lbs/day),
respectively. These levels are more typical of a municipal waste influent
than an effluent and reflect the very strong nature of this waste. Nitrogen
concentrations in the effluent were also similar to typical raw domestic
T/^ V" -? « T_<-1 o nl^r'Cr"in ed 18,2 mg/1 (5,180 lbs/day) with
ammonia accounting for 57 percent at a concentration of 10.4 mg/1 or
2,960 lbs/day. The sum of nitrate and nitrite nitrogen was very low, less
than 0.014 mg/1. This plant is providing essentially no nitrification of
-------
the ammonia either because of a short retention time, toxicity of the
waste to nitrifying bacteria, or both. Phosphorus concentrations averaged
5.6 mg/1 with a daily average load of 1,590 pounds per day.. Oil and grease
concentrations averaged 28 mg/1 (8,000 lbs/day). Oil and grease concen-
tration is unusually high and indicates a very high influent load typical
of industrial waste as well as insufficient treatment within the treatment
plant. Phenol concentrations were high averaging 0.966 mg/1 or 27 5 lbs/day,
again indicating the heavy industrial load.
Residue in the effluent was excessive. Total residue averaged 993 mg/1
(282,500 lbs/day), filterable (dissolved) residue was 860 mg/1 (244,700
lbs/day) , and nonfilterable (suspended) residue was 133 mg/1 (37,800 lbs/day).
Total volatile residue was 141 mg/1 (40,100 lbs/day) and nonfilterable
volatile residue was 70 mg/1 (19 ,900 lbs/day). These figures do not
reflect the secondary sludge wasted to the effluent; final discharge amounts
are greater than these reported values.
The total chromium concentration in the effluent was 0.283 mg/1 (81
lbs/day). Chromium salts create particular problems in waters used for
public water supplies and waters which support fish and aquatic life. The
USPHS drinking water standards set a mandatory limit of 0.05 mg/1 on hexa-
valent chromium.(11) The effect of both hexavalent and trivalent chromium
salts are particularly critical to the lower forms of aquatic life.(12)
The chromium discharge from this plant is excessive but not great enough to
violate stream standards. Mercury in the effluent was 0.96 yg/1 or 0.27
lbs/day, exceeding the EPA limit of 0.1 lb/day.
An elemental scan of a composite of effluent samples indicated the
following concentrations (Table 4):

Moccasin Bend STP Bacterial Sampling
To determine the bacterial quality of the Moccasin Bend STP effluent,
grab samples were collected at three-hour intervals over a 24-hour period
for two days in addition to routine daily sampling. The coliform data
are contained and summarized in Appendix D.
The mean effluent total and fecal coliform densities for the entire
study were 8,300 and 510/100. ml, respectively. As shown in Figures 33
and 34, the bacterial quality of the effluent varied greatly during both
24-hour sampling periods. Total coliform densities during the February 28 -
March 1 sampling period ranged from 50 to 350,000/100 ml, while the fecal
coliform densities ranged from <20 to 33,000/100 ml. During the March 6-7
sampling period, the total coliform densities ranged from 2,200 to
1,300,000/100 ml, and the fecal coliform densities ranged from 130 to
70,000/100 ml. A comparison of Figures 33 and 34 shows the coliform
densities measured during the March 6-7 sampling period were generally much
higher than the February 28 - March 1 sampling period. These data indi-
cate that effluent disinfection was inadequate much of the time, especially
during late evening and early morning hours.

STREAM DATA AND OBSERVATIONS
GENERAL
Seven days of chemical and bacteriological samples were collected on
Chattanooga Creek and its tributaries (see data in Appendix D). Tims
of travel through the study reach was determined using a fluorescent dye.
Later during the week of May 7, 1973, a brief biological survey was con-
ducted on the main stem of Chattanooga Creek.
Flow
Average discharge for Chattanooga Creek at the Flintstone, Georgia,
USGS gage (station C-9.5) is 82.2 cfs for the past 21 years as reported by
the U. S. Geological Survey. Flow during the survey averaged 110 cfs.
Instantaneous discharges at the time of sample collection were:

Flows for all downstream stations were projected based upon the
drainage area at each station. In cue lower portion of the study area
the flow is affected by fluctuation in the Nickajack Lake level. Considerable
variations in lake level are caused by releases from the power generating
-------
units at Chickamauga Dam. These fluctuations vary from one to three feet
each day in the Chattanooga area and essentially control the instantaneous
flow in the lower portions of Chattanooga Creek.
CHEMISTRY
Dissolved Oxygen
From upstream to downstream through the study reach, the average
dissolved oxygen (D.O.) concentrations ranged from a high of 9.9 mg/1 at
Station C-9.5 to a low of 5.9 mg/1 at Station C-0.6 (Figure 35). A
significant reduction was noted downstream from the confluence of the
tributary carrying waste from Velsicol and Woodward. Oxygen levels en-
countered during the recent survey fall within the range of earlier TVA
data and are very similar to previous data collected in the late winter
months. (See 1967 and 1969 TVA data in Figure 36 and Appendix D). Low
oxygen concentrations generally occur during the warm summer months when
stream flow is at a minimum. As evidenced by the oxygen concentration
profiles in Figure 36, the lower six miles of Chattanooga Creek is an open
sewer and not suitable for any other beneficial use.
Biochemical Oxygen Demand
There is a continual increase in BOD5 concentration from upstream to
downstream through the study reach (Figure 37). Sharp increases occur
immediately downstream from the confluence of tributaries carrying the
combined wasLc from t^uOu'w'ard and Velsicol (Station CT—2) and Dcbbs Brawc h
(Station DB-Q.l) which carries both industrial and domestic wastes.

numerous regulation chambers located in the. trunk lines which permit
excessive flow from combined sewers during rainstorms to be bypassed to
the surface streams. Four such chambers designated as Central Avenue,
Adams Street, Williams Street, and Sidney Street exist along the lower
portion of Chattanooga Creek. Overflow from these structures contribute
heavily to the polluted condition of Chattanooga Creek and are responsible
for the unusually high BOD5 concentrations such as the ones observed on
March 2.
The average BOD5 concentration at Station CT-2 was 497 mg/1 (
lbs/day) with a maximum of 1,160 mg/1. The average BOD5 concentration near
the mouth of Dobbs Branch (Station DB-0.1) was 99.1 mg/1 with a maximum
concentration of 370.0 mg/1 occurring on March 2, 1973. These data cor-
respond with the exceptionally high concentrations observed in Chattanooga
Creek below the confluence of Dobbs Branch. The solid line in Figure 37
reflects the effect of the waste from Dobbs Branch upon the average BOD5
values of downstream stations. The dotted line represents average values
excluding the unusually high values on March 2. The TVA data collected
in 1967 and 1969 present a good basis for comparison of the more recent
data. Figure 37 contains a plot of average BOD5 values collected from
January through May of 1969 representing a similar season of the year and
similar flow conditions. These curves match very well and indicate that
there has been no significant change in BOD5 concentrations since 1969,
Figure 38 is a plot of average, maximum and minimum values for all data
collected by TVA during 1967 and 1969. Many exceptionally high values
occurred (50-120 mg/1) normally during periods of low stream flow. The
very high values at mile 6.26 were caused by waste entering Chattanooga

Creek through Dry Creek and McFarland's Branch. Previously (when the TVA
data were collected), Happy Valley Farms had a large discharge to Dry Creek.
This waste is now discharged to the Moccasin, Bend Sewerage System.
McFarland's Branch drains the Rossville, GA, area and receives waste from
the Rossville Industrial Complex. Both the city of Rossville and the
Industrial Complex discharge to the Moccasin Bend Sewerage System; however,
numerous spills and discharges from the Industrial Complex still enter
McFarland's Branch.
Dobbs Branch is one of the most polluted tributaries entering
Chattanooga Creek. Both Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) and BOD^ concentrations
were very high. COD values ranged from 108 mg/1 to 3,080 mg/1, which
correspond well with respective BOD5 values of 25 mg/1 and 370 mg/1. Not
all of the waste load in Dobbs Branch is caused by the overflow of the
Central Avenue sewer regulation chamber; samples collected at Station DBT-1
(upstream from the regulator) had an average BOD5 concentration of 194.6
mg/1 with a maximum of 350.0 mg/1. COD concentrations of 440 and 856 mg/1
at this same station correspond, to BOD5 values of 118 and 350 mg/1. This
station was located at the discharge of an underground storm drain which
drains the area around Montague and Highland Park. Dye tracers verified
that low BOD5 process wastes from Modern Maid, Inc. discharge to this drain
(see following discussion under "Turbidity").
McFarland's Branch had an average BOD5 concentration during the EPA
study of 27.6 mg/1 with a maximum of 43.0 mg/1, in contrast to a 1967 and
1969 TVA average of 36 mg/1 with a maximum of 320 mg/1. COD concentrations
on two days of the EPA study were 184 and 304 mg/1 witli a corresponding
BOD5 concentration of 43.0 and an unreported value due to a toxic condition.
-------
The unreported value at a one percent dilution produced a BOD5 value of
190 mg/1; at a three percent dilution, a value of 89 mg/1; and at a 10
percent dilution, a value of 26 mg/1. These results are strong indications
of toxic conditions and clearly reveal that on March 6, 1973, a strong
waste concentration existed on McFarland's Branch. The following are notes
taken by the field crew at Station CT-3 describing the water appearance :

The Rossville Development Corporation discharges a waste stream contain-
ing fine carbon (black) particles above this station; Kenyon Southern has
a dye drum storage area where dye pigment is washed into the stream; and
Standard Coosa Thatcher also had a pink dye spill during the survey. (See
the individual section on each specific industry for additional details.)
There was an unconfirmed report by a resident in the area that a local
septic tank cleaner dumps sludge into the creek.
Samples collected in Dry Branch at Station CT-4 had an average BOD5
value of 4.2 mg/1 with a maximum of 5.1 mg/1. This contrasts markedly
with the 1967 and 1969 TVA data collected at mile 1.02 in Dry Creek when
BOD 5 averaged 122.3 mg/1 with, a maximum of 700 mg/1. These high values
were primarily caused by waste discharges from the Happy Valley Farms dairy
-------
which is now connected to the Moccasin Bend Sewerage System. These results
represent a substantial improvement in water quality over a period of three
to five years.
Nitrogen
Nitrogen concentrations primarily in the form of ammonia are excessive
in the lower portions of Chattanooga Creek (see Figure 39). The major
contributor is Woodward, Inc., which discharges wastes including the
ammonia still liquor. Upstream from Woodward's discharge, ammonia concen-
trations in Chattanooga Creek at Station C-5.8 averaged 0.04 mg/1, while
downstream from the Woodward-Velsicol ditch at Station C-4.3 they increased
to an average of 4.47 mg/1. Ammonia concentrations in Woodward's oil
separator discharge averaged 4,057 mg/1 with a maximum concentration of
7,320 mg/I, and the water at station CT-2 had an average ammonia concen-
tration of 1,430 mg/1 with a maximum of 2,260 mg/1.
Ammonia levels in other tributary streams in the study area were
relatively insignificant in comparison to those at Station CT-2. At
Station DB-0.1 near the mouth of Dobbs Branch, the average ammonia concen-
tration was 3.13 r..g/l with a maximum of 5.0 mg/1. Upstream at Station
DBT-1, the average concentration was 12.7 6 mg/1 with a maximum value of
21.8 mg/1. Farther upstream at Station DBT-2, the average concentration
was only 0.77 mg/1. Ammonia concentrations in McFarland's Branch and Dry
Creek averaged 0.27 mg/1 and 0.16 mg/1, respectively.
The relatively constant NC'2 plus NO3 concentrations throughout the
study reach indicate that ammonia was not being oxidized in Chattanooga
Creek. The retention time within the creek is short at higher flows and
does not allow time for nitrification. The average stream velocity was

about 0.25 mpli, with a travel time of approximately 20 hours from Woodward's
discharge to the mouth of Chattanooga Creek. Also, stream temperatures
during the survey were in the 12 to 14°F range, which is too cool for
active nitrification. With warmer temperatures and lower flows, nitrifi-
cation. could very rapidly deplete the dissolved oxygen in Chattanooga Creek.
Total Organic Carbon
A stream•profile of Total Organic Carbon (TOC) concentrations is shown
in Figure 40. Normally the TOC values of a relatively clean stream are
roughly five times higher than the BOD5, but in this case TOC is almost
identical to^BOD^. The TOC concentration increases steadily through the
study reach v/ith a noticeable increase downstream from the Woodward and
Velsicol discharges and a very sharp increase downstream from Dobbs Branch.
The average TOC concentration.-a-t -Station BB-0-.-1 was 7-6.6 mg/1 with a
maximum concentration of 370 mg/1. As in the BCD5 results, concentrations
were high at Station DBT-1 (the storm sewer outfall), averaging 148.3 mg/1,
and relatively low at Station DBT-2 (only stormwater and Modern Maid wastes),
averaging 18.9 mg/1.
The average TOC concentration at Station CT-2 (the Woodward-Velsicol
ditch) was 337.5 mg/1 with a maximum of 660.0 mg/1. Individual wastes
from Velsicol and Woodward both have TOC concentrations in the 300 mg/1
range.
TOC levels in McFarland's Branch correspond closely to the BOD 5 con-
centrations. The average TOC concentration for Station CT-3 was 19.9
mg/1. The TOC value of 16.0 mg/1 on March 6, 1973 (the day toxicity
effected the BOD5) , did not appear to be unusually high.

Phosphorus
Total phosphorus concentrations averaged between 0.13 mg/1 and 0.21
mg/1 for all Chattanooga Creek stations. Concentrations in Dobbs Branch,
McFarland's Branch, and Dye? Creek averaged 1.05, 1.16, and 0.12 mg/1,
respectively. The concentrations in Chattanooga Creek were nearly double
those normally encountered in cleaner streams. Previous data collected
by TVA at Stations C-0.6 and C-7.0 showed average values of 1.77 mg/1 and
2.33 mg/1, respectively, indicating a very large reduction in phosphorus
concentrations.
Specific Conductance
Average -.specif ic conductance -vakes ¦ are plotted in -Figure 41. The
same general shape profile as for BOD5, N, TOC, and P exists with increas-
ing values toward the mouth of Chattanooga Creek. Values averaged 132
ymhos/cm with a sharp increase to 293 ymhos/cm at Station C-4.0, which is
downstream from the Woodward and Velsicol wastes. The average conductivity
value at Station CT-2 were 18,285 ymhos/cm with a maximum of 32,500 ymhos/cm.
Another increase was observed downstream from the confluence of Dobbs
Branch where the conductivity increased from 269 at station C-2.5 to 291
ymhos/cm at Station C-2.1. The average conductivity at Station DB-0.1
near the mouth of Dobbs Branch was 611 ymhos/cm. The average reading at
Station DBT-2 was 654 ymhos/cm with a maximum of 1,080 ymhos/cm, which are
elevated by the industrial waste discharge from Modern Maid, Inc.

Turbidity
The average turbidity profile in Figure 42 shows a general increase
toward the mouth of Chattanooga Creek. The major increase occurred at the
Dobbs Branch confluence where average turbidity levels in Chattanooga Creek
increased sharply from 33 units upstream to 51 units downstream from Dobbs
Branch. Turbidity in Dobbs Branch at Station DB-0.1 averaged 998.3 units
with a maximum value of 6,340 units. Average readings at station DBT-2
(primarily Modern Maid's waste) averaged 7 57 units with a maximum of 4,000
units, reflecting the periodic discharge from Modern Maid, Inc.'s ceramic
base coating operation (See Figures 14 and 15 included with Modern Maid
discussion). Turbidity was not consistently high at DBT-2 because the
base coat discharges were not continuous. A visit to the plant and ob-
servations of waste discharges plus subsequent dye tracer tests confirmed
that the base coat material was being discharged to Dobbs Branch. The
typical blue-white color of the waste observed at Station DBT-2, DBT-1,
and DB-0.1, indicates that a significant portion of the turbidity in
Dobbs Creek and lower Chattanooga Creek is caused by the Modern Maid, Inc.,
industrial waste discharge.
Somewhere between Station DBT-2 (northeast of Montague Park) and the
discharge from the area's storm sewer at Station DBT-1 (Figure 43), the
ceramic base coat discharge from Modern Maid is joined by a sporadic
fibrous discharge from an unknown source. During previous floods, enough
of this fibrous material was deposited on the banks of the ditch from
DBT-1 to Dobbs Branch to leave a thick fibrous coating on the banks
(Figures 44 and 45) .

On two occasions during the survey (during dry weather and during wet
weather), dye was dumped in the. wastewater discharge from Container
Corporation of America's paper recycling plant located at the west corner
of Montague Park. No trace of the dye was detected in the streams even
though the fibrous material coating the banks of the storm sewer discharge
ditch in Figure 43 has the appearance of paper fibers.
Oil and Grease
The highest stream concentrations of oil and grease were measured at
Station CT-2 on the Woodward-Velsicol ditch. Oil (primarily from Woodward)
was visible with a layer on the surface and a distinct coating on the
banks of the tributary. The average concentration was 12.8 mg/1 with a
maximum of 18.0 mg/1. Concentrations near the mouth of Chattanooga Creek
at Stations C-l.2 and C-0.6 were mostly less than 5 mg/1. Oil films were
frequently visible on the water at Stations C-l.6, C-l.2, C-0.6, and at
the mouth of Chattanooga Creek. The only recorded value on Dobbs Branch
at Station DB-0.1 was less than 5 mg/1.
Phenol
Phenolic concentrations in Chattanooga Creek, particularly in the
lower portion, are higher than those normally found in natural streams. The
concentration at the USGS Flintstone gage (Station C-9.5) averaged 18 pg/1
with a maximum value of 25 Mg/1. "Analysis of water from streams-draining
non-industrial watersheds has shown 'phenol' concentrations in the range
of 3 to 20 ppb."(13) Since phenolic compounds are released in the decay of
natural organic materials and in domestic waste, the values at Station
C-9.5 are not unusually high.
-------
The phenolic concentration in Dobbs Branch at Station DB-0.1 averaged
45 yg/1 with a maximum value of 100 yg/1, which are typical of the con-
centrations in domestic wastes.
The phenolic concentration in Chattanooga Creek increased significantly
downstream to an average value of 140 yg/1 at Station C-3.6, downstream
from the waste discharged from Woodward (Figure 46). The average concen-
tration at Station CT-2 (the Woodward-Velsicol ditch) averaged 83,300 yg/1
with a maximum of 360,000 yg/1. Average and maximum concentrations at
Stations C-2.5 and C-0.6 were 98 and 260 yg/1 and 113 and 257 yg/1,
respectively. For maintenance of a well-balanced fish population, the
total phenolic concentration should not exceed 0.05 mg/l (50 yg/1).(14)

These data show higher concentrations of metals near the mouth
(Station C-0.6) of Chattanooga Creek than upstream from the major waste
sources. Waste from Velsicol and Woodward measured at Station CT-2
contributed rather large quantities of metals. Another probable signifi-
cant source is the overflow of domestic waste from the regulation chambers
on the municipal sewer system into the lower portion of Chattanooga Creek.
This waste is a combination of domestic, industrial, and stormwater runoff.
MICROBIOLOGY
Coliform Results
Bacterial samples were collected on seven different days at eleven
Chattanooga Creek and six tributary stations. The coliform data are
-------
contained in Appendix D and summarized in Table. 5 and Figure 47.
The background station (C-9.5) on Chattanooga Creek had mean—¦ total
and fecal coliform densities of 4,700 and 1,100/100 ml, respectively
(Table 5). These coliform densities indicate that Chattanooga Creek was
receiving some fecal waste upstream from the study area.
Downstream from the background station the mean total coliform densi-
ties generally increased as illustrated in Figure 47. The mean fecal
coliform density of 17,000/100 ml at Station C-3.6 was approximately four
times greater than the background station density. These increased coliform
densities resulted from wastes contributed by several tributaries
(McFarland's Branch, Dry Creek, an unnamed tributary) which flow into
Chattanooga Creek.
The mean fecal coliform density after an initial increase to 2,900/100
ml (station C-7.0) decreased at Station C-5.8 to background levels
(Table 5 and Figure 47). This station was downstream from the confluence
of several tributaries to Chattanooga Creek; however, the reason for the
decreased fecal coliform density was not apparent. Downstream from
Station C-5.8, the mean fecal coliform density gradually increased to
2,500/100 ml as measured at Station C-3.6 (Table 5).
Immediately upstream from Station C-2.1, Dobbs Branch flows into
Chattanooga Creek. Dobbs Branch contributed mean total and fecal coliform
densities of 860,000 and 37,000/100 ml, respectively, as measured at
Station DB-1 (Table 5). The impact of Dobbs Branch on the bacterial
quality of Chattanooga Creek was partially seen at Station C-2.1 which

lad mean total and fecal coliform densities of 29jOOO and 2,000/100 ml,
espectively. After complete mixing, the full impact of Dobbs Branch was
;een at Station C-1.2 which had mean total and fecal coliform densities
>f 100,000 and 12,000/100 ml (Table 5 and Figure 47).
Station C-0.6,.the most downstream station within the study area, had
lean total and fecal coliform densities of 57,000 and 6,900/100 ml,
•espectively. A comparison of these coliform densities with the background
lensities (Table 5) indicates considerable degradation of the bacterial
[uality of Chattanooga Creek within the study area.
Salmonella Results
In addition to total and fecal coliform determinations, attempts were
lade to isolate members of the genus Salmonella at the Chattanooga Creek
;tations. Isolation and identification procedures used are described in
:he Study Methods section of this report.
Sampling swabs were placed at each Chattanooga Creek station and
lere suspended for a five-day sampling period. Swabs were torn away at
:our stations during the sampling period. Swabs were retrieved from
;even stations and Salmonella isolation was attempted.
One or more Salmonella enteriditis serotypes were isolated from each
>f the seven Chattanooga Creek stations (Table 6). A total of five
tifferent serotypes were isolated with one serotype (S_. give) being iso-
.ated at each station. Isolation of Salmonella from these stations
iurnishes further evidence of fecal pollution and of the disease-producing
jotential of portions of Chattanooga Creek.

BIOLOGY
The biological study consisted of a series of three quantitative
samples collected with an Ekman grab sampler and qualitative samples con-
sisting of half-hour concentrated efforts with dip nets and hand-picking
from five stations on Chattanooga Creek. The five sampling stations are
located at miles 0.6, 2.1, 4.3, 5.3, and 9.5. The Ekman grab samples
were collected from representative areas of the stream bottom, and the
qualitative samples were collected by sweeping submerged vegetation, logs,
and other debris with a dip net; hand-picking of logs and other substrates;
and extensive dredging of the side and stream bottom with heavy-framed dip
nets. The. material collected from these sampling efforts was sifted
through a No. 30 mesh sieve, and the material remaining in the sieve was
placed into white enamel pans. The organisms were then sorted from this
debris, identified, and enumerated. Those organisms not readily identifiable
were placed in 70-percent alcohol and returned to the laboratory for
identification. The results of this sampling .are recorded in Tables 7
and 8 and Figures 48 and 49.
This biological data indicate a steady decline in the quality of the
benthic community from the upstream Station 8.8 through Station 0.6 near
the mouth of the Creek. Figure 48 is very similar to the classical curves
described by Bartsch and Ingram (1959) for benthic communities exposed to
enrichment and toxicity (1). Station 9.5, located upstream from the major
sources of pollution, has a relatively diverse community of organisms,
consisting of 26 taxonomic groups ranging in tolerance to pollution from
highly intolerant to tolerant (2). This reflects the relatively good water
quality reported in the chemical section of this study for this station.

The benthic fauna at Station 5.3 reflects a reduction in water quality.
The diversity has been reduced to eight taxonomic groups; however, there
has not been a significant increase in the numbers of individuals^ as one
might expect if the reduction in diversity was caused by excessive enrich-
ment. This reduction in diversity was probably caused by the introduction
of toxic substances. McFarland's Branch empties into Chattanooga Creek
upstream from Station 4.8. During the March 1973 sampling period, water
collected from this branch for BOD analysis gave strong indications of
toxic conditions (Page of this report). This or perhaps leaching
from an old garbage pit adjacent to Station 5.3 was probably responsible
for the reduction in community diversity.
Station 4.3 is located downstream from the outfall from the major in-
dustrial complex. Vegetation, debris, and other substrates were covered
with copius amounts of Sphaerotilus. Several species of chironomids (four
species of Cricotopus and one species of Phaenopsectra) were found in
intimate relationship with the masses of Sphaerotilus and were not found
anywhere else in the creek. The great increase in numbers of individuals
at this station ii a good indication of excessive enrichment. Sludge usually
blankets the bottom of such reaches of a stream, limiting the use of the
area to only a few species that can survive in such a substrate. These
surviving species are isolated from competitors and predators with an
abundance of food and as a result, form huge populations (Table 7).
A further reduction in water quality at Station 2.1 is illustrated
in Figures 47 and 48. This station is located immediately downstream from
the confluence of Dobbs Branch, which carries an extremely heavy BOD load
(Figure 37). Numbers of organisms per square foot have risen to an
-------
estimated 21,000, and taxonomic groups have been reduced to five- The
five groups represented were: Tubificid worms, the amphipod Hgalella
azteca, the mayfly Ephemeroptera temporalis, the midge Chr ionomus
crassicaudatus and the pulmonate snail Physa (Table 8).
Station 0.6, the most downstream station, illustrates a still further
reduction in water quality. Only two species were collected in the quanti-
tative sampling, and only five species were collected in total (Table 7).
That this station is grossly polluted is apparent from outward appearance
alone. Anaerobic activity is apparent, floating debris is coated with oily
substances, and everything has a greasy appearance. In fact, after
completion of sampling at this station, the sampling gear had the appearance
of pots and pans washed in greasy dishwater. The fact that there was a
great reduction in total individuals collected is interesting. Water quality
data do not denote the presence of toxic materials, yet the lack of large
numbers of sludge worms would indicate such a presence. It is possible
that the extreme flooding prior to the survey scoured the bottom of the
creek at this station, thus removing the sludge deposits which harbir the
great masses of sludge worms usually found in such areas. While the only
organisms collected were worms (Tubificidae and Lumbriculidae), only
relatively small numbers of individuals were collected. Qualitatively,
again, the ubiquitous mayfly Ephemerella temporalis was collected, plus the
midges Cricotopus slossonae and Chironomus crassicaudatus and a physid snail.
In conclusion, th£ biologies! dstci col 1 tfro™. tHc fiv^ stations
on Chattanooga Creek illustrated a steady decline in the quality of the
benthic community in Chattanooga Creek, from the relatively unpolluted
upstream station 9.5 to the highly polluted area at station 0.6.

MATHEMATICAL MODEL OF CHATTANOOGA CREEK
-------
APPENDIX G
INTRODUCTION
Chattanooga Creek was modeled using the dosag computer code develop
ed by the Texas Water Development Board (1). This model has received
wide use and has been specified in the recent series of river basin
modeling contracts let by EPA. Essentially, the model is a conventional
first-order dissolved oxygen model. The model allows biochemical oxygen
demand to be stated in terms of both the carbonaceous and iritrogeneous
components, with each component having a seperate rate coefficient.
Depth and velocity versus flow relationships are stated by an equation
having the form:
Y = A(X)B
The reaeration relationship may either be input directly into the
program, computed from the method of Thackston and Krenkle(l), or from
a relationship of the form:
K2 = A(Y)
IF
B
Where V is the stream velocity, D is the depth, and A, B, and C are
empirical coefficients whose values have been reported by various
authors (1).
MODEL SEGMENTATION
The model segmentation is schematized in figure I (attached) . The
section of Chattanooga Creek modeled begins at the USGS gage at Franklin
Georgia and ends at it's confluence with the Tennessee River. For the
purpose of this model, it was assumed that the river is free-flowing for
it's entire length. Major tributaries included in the model are Dry
-------
Creek, McFarland Branch, Dobbs Branch, and the un-named tributary drain-
ing Woodward-Velsicol. Each tributary was modeled as two reaches, one
of which is a dummy reach (see model reference 1 for explanation) and
the other has a length of 0.2 miles.
DEPTH AND VELOCITY VERSUS FLOW RELATIONSHIPS
Depth and velocity versus flow relationships for the program were
developed from data obtained at the USGS stream gage near Franklin, Ga.
on Chattanooga Creek. Selected field observations were plotted on
logrimithic graph paper and the coefficients of the previously mentioned
equations were determined. The velocity versus flow relationship was
furthur refined with data from a dye study conducted during the field
study. It should be noted that the data from the USGS gage is only
representative of a single point on the stream while the dye study is
representative of the entire reach.
DEOXYGENATION AND REAERATION COEFFICIENTS
The deoxygenation coefficient, Kl, was determined from a laboratory
BOD time series analysis. A value of 0.12/day (base E, 20 degrees
centigrade) was d°termined from an analysis of this data. This value
was used to convert 5-day BOD values for use in model calibration. Note
that this value of Kl is only representative of conditions in a BOD
bottle and not the natural environment. Several instream values for
Kl were tried in the model and a value of 0.60/day (base E, 20 degrees
centigrade) was found to represent: the degranion of waste satisfactorily.
Relatively high values of Kl such as this are typical of polluted rivers
like Chattanooga Creek and can be attributed to an abundant, acclimitizcd
biological community.
-------
The reaeration coefficient, K2, was estimated by the method proposed
by Churchill, et al (3). Comparative estimates were made with the method
of Langbien and Duram (4) and virtually identical values resulted.
FLOWS, LOADINGS, AND MODEL CALIBRATION
Tributary flows for use in the program were approximated from
tributary drianage areas as tributry flows could not be measured during
the study. Consequently, inflow B0D5 may not correspond to values
obtained during the study. Inflow B0D5 was determined by estimating the
value needed to raise the B0D5 of Chattanooga Creek to the value observed
during the study.
With these values for B0D5 and the 0.60 value for Kl, the observed
dissolved oxygen profile was adequately represented by the model. The
data used for model calibration consisted of the samples taken during
the period from 27 Feb. to 1 March. In this period the river was at
approximately steady state with respect to flow. A plot of predicted
and observed dissolved oxygen and B0D5 profiles is shown in figure 2.
Also attached is a copy of the calibration run.
SUMMARY
A computer model for Chattanooga Creek has been developed which
adequately reproduce an observed dissolved oxygen profile. For
additional information concerning access to and use of this model,
