3.0 FACILITY DESCRIPTION
3.1 General Information:
Carthage Specialty Paperboard, Inc. has been in business for over 125 years and produces various grades of uncoated recycled paperboard for industries such as pharmaceutical cap sealing, art mat board ridged setup box, folding cartons, and protective packaging. The mill

Inspection Dates: April 04-05, 2024
has been operating under financial pressure for some time and fell into bankruptcy in February of 2018.
Ox Industries acquired Carthage Specialty Paperboard, Inc. on October 25, 2018, and renamed the paper mill from Carthage Specialty Paperboard, Inc. to Ox Specialty Papers, LLC. to fit in with Ox suite of facilities. Ox Specialty Papers, LLC. produces paperboard from 100% recycled material on a continuously endless moving rollers that receives pulp with water forming a continuous sheet of paper for further drying by pressure and heat.
Ox Specialty Papers, LLC. - Carthage Paper Mill is located on 30 Champion Ave., Carthage, New York (NY). Ox Specialty Papers, LLC. - Carthage Paper Mill employs approximately 73 people, operating twenty-four (24) hours per day with 3, 8-hour shifts (6AM-2PM, 2PM10PM & 10PM-6AM). The paper mill is categorized under Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) 2621 - Paper Mills and the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) 322120 - Paper Mills.
3.2 Process Information
Ox Specialty Papers, LLC. - Carthage Paper Mill draws water from the Black River for use in the manufacturing operation process. The water is pumped into a receiving chest before it is directed into three (3) sand filtration units to remove unwanted solids. The filtered water is stored in a holding tank to be use in the stock system as needed. A biocide is added in select white paper grades for odor control and to prevent microbial growth.
The operation process begins with recycled pre- and post-consumer white and brown grade paper being fed into a stock trap to be shredded. The shredded paper is fed into five pulpers (blenders) with hot water to create a pulp slurry. A screen at the bottom of the blender allows the slurry to pass through to the cyclone drum (High-Density Cleaner) to be cleaned with water from the clear water chest. The High-Density Cleaner removes any unnecessary contaminates and over-size pulp fibers. The pulp continues into the filler dump chest at about 5% dilution consistency. From the filler dump chest, the pulp is further cleaned by a second cyclone drum to reduce the paper slurry to about 3% dilution consistency. After cleaning, the pulp goes into a refiner where it is fluffed to increase bonding. After the refiner, the pulp is pumped into the head box (junction box) where the pulp is diverted into a screen that further filtered out any fine plastic/glasses that made it through this far. After the screen, the pulp is distributed between the nine (9) vats that feed the paper making machine.
The pulp slurry in the 9 vats feeds the 9 cylinders on the wet end of the paper making machine. A thin layer of pulp slurry is applied onto the cylinder as it rolls continuously overlapping one another creating 9 layers while moving from the cylinders toward the pressure and heat section where the temperature is maintained between 120-125F and
Page 3 of 9

Inspection Dates: April 04-05, 2024
constant pressure in forming a sheet of paper. As the pulp slurry continues toward the dry end of the paper making machine, the temperature is increased between 250-300F to drive moisture away from the paper. An infrared scanner monitors the thickness of the paper while it continuously spins onto a spool. Once the spool is full, it is removed and cut down into smaller rollers to customer specifications.
A pulper is stationed at the dry end of the paper making machine to receive unwanted paper. Reclaimed water from the cement chest is added to blend the paper into pulp. The pulp is pumped to the pulp filler before the High-Density Cleaners.
Any unnecessary contaminates, such as plastic, glass, metals, and grits, are removed from the paper manufacturing process and disposed of at the Tri-County Landfill.
Water used in the paper making process is recycled. Reclaimed water removed at the wet end of the paper making machine is collected in the cement chest, the overflow water chest and the water chest. Excess water from the water chest overflows into the overflow water chest. The cement chest receives majority of the reclaimed water supply for the filler pulper, dilution waters for the filler stock system, and dilution water for the pulper stationed at the dry end of the paper making machine. Excess water in the cement chest is directed to the collection pit.
Excess water exceeding the set level point in the collection pit is pumped to the drum screen. The drum screen segregates the solids into a hopper. Plastic, glass, metals, and/or grit are disposed of at the landfill. Pulp fibers are returned to the filler pulper. The filtered water from the drum screen is directed to the clarifier feed chest. The water in the clarifier feed chest is conveyed into the Dissolved Air Flotation (DAF). A polymer is injected into the DAF to reclaim as much of the fine pulp fibers that passed through the drum screen. The reclaimed pulp from the DAF is pumped into the filler dump chest. The cloudy water from the DAF is pumped into the Hycor Disco Strainer. Residual pulp is reclaimed from the strainer and is pumped to the filler dump chest. The filtered water from the Hycor Disco Strainer is pumped to the clear water chest. Excess water from the clear water chest overflows to the effluent overflow chest. The effluent overflow chest operates on a hi-lo flow sensor to discharge excess process water to the Village of West Carthage WWTP Sewer Collection System.

6.0 FINDINGS
6.1 Sampling Result Findings
The EPA analytical results obtained during this inspection show the following parameter(s) as being outside of the acceptable limits:
6.1.1 According to the Industrial User Permit, the effluent daily maximum mass loading limitation for Total Phenolics is 0.80 pounds per day (lbs/d). The mass loading calculation for Total Phenolics was determined to be 0.81 lbs/d.
6.2 Inspection Findings
In addition to the analytical data, an inspection of the facility operations was conducted as discussed in Section 4.2 above. During the inspection, the following observations were noted which may contravene the requirements of the applicable federal regulations and industrial user permit:
Page 7 of 9
Ox Specialty Papers, LLC., Carthage, NY 40 CFR Parts 403 & 430 & IU Permit
Inspection Dates: April 04-05, 2024
6.2.1 The sampling tubing was observed to be dirty and visible algal growth was observed on the sampling tubing inner wall. In addition, the attached stainless-steel tube to the sampling tubing was observed to be dirty as well. During the purging cycle, dirt and/or algal growth could potentially become dislodged and be part of the composite sample. Hence, the analytical result could be bias high. The sampling tubing and the stainless-steel tube should be cleaned or replaced to ensure the composite sample is representative of the effluent. According to Part 5 C. 1. - Representative Sampling of the Industrial User Permit (Page 11), it states, "Samples and measurements taken as required herein shall be representative of the volume and nature of the monitored discharge." Furthermore 40 CFR Part 403.12(b)(5)(ii) of the General Pretreatment Regulations for Existing and New Sources of Pollution, it states, " In addition, the User shall submit the results of sampling and analysis identifying the nature and concentration (or mass, where required by the Standard or Control Authority) of regulated pollutants in the Discharge from each regulated process. Both daily maximum and average concentration (or mass, where required) shall be reported. The sample shall be representative of daily operations."
6.2.2 The working thermometer inside the portable refrigerated composite sampler was observed without a correction factor. A correction factor is necessary to ensure the composite sample is maintained at 6C or less during the sampling event. The correction factor should include the temperature correction factor, date of calibration, and the analyst that performed the calibration. According to Part 5 C. 3. - Analytical Methods to Demonstrate Continued Compliance of the Industrial User Permit (Page 12), it states, "All handling, preservation and collection of samples and laboratory analyses of samples shall be performed in accordance to 40 CFR Part 136 and amendments thereto unless specified otherwise in the monitoring conditions of this permit." Furthermore 40 CFR Part 136 Table II - REQUIRED CONTAINERS, PRESERVATION TECHNIQUES, AND HOLDING TIMES under footnote 2, it states, "Except where noted in this Table II and the method for the parameter, preserve each grab sample within 15 minutes of collection. For a composite sample collected with an automated sample (e.g., using a 24-hour composite sample; see 40 CFR 122.21(g)(7)(i) or 40 CFR part 403, appendix E), refrigerate the sample at 6 C during collection unless specified otherwise in this Table II or in the method(s)."
6.2.3 The approaching flow to the Parshall Flume is turbulence. As a result, the ultrasonic flow sensor is recording high flow. According to Part 5 C. 2. - Flow Measurements of the Industrial User Permit (Page 12), it states, "If flow measurement is required by this permit, the appropriate flow measurement devices and methods consistent with approved scientific practices shall be selected and used to ensure the accuracy and reliability of measurements of the volume of monitored discharges. The devices shall be installed, calibrated, and maintained in accordance with manufacturer's recommendations to ensure that the accuracy of the measurements are consistent with the accepted capability of that type of device. Devices selected shall be capable of measuring flows with a maximum deviation of
