b. Phone No.: [phone]
5. Directions to Site: From Hickory travel north on Highway 321; turn right
on 2nd Avenue, N.W.; go 1 block and turn left on 15th Street, N.W. The
site is located at the end of this Street adjacent to the stream.
6. a. The coordinates to he proposed/existing p8int of effluent discharge
are: Latitude: 35 44'28" Longitude: 81 21'56"
b. USGS Quad No.: E 13 NE (see attached map)
7. Size (land available for expansion and upgrading): There is ample area
available.

9. Location of Nearest Dwelling: There are several dwellings within 500 feet
of the site.
10. Receiving Stream: Fry Creek
a. Classification: C
b. Minimum 7-Day, 10-Year Discharge at Site: 0.1 cfs
c. River Basin and Sub -Basin No.: Catawba 03-08-35
PART II - DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED TREATMENT FACILITIES
1. Existing Facilities: The applicant has no wastewater treatment facilities.
The discharge consists of rainfall runoff from the loading area.
2. Proposed Modifications: In 1975 this facility applied for a permit under
the name of Blackwelder 0i1 Company. A permit was drafted for the discharge
and construction of an oil/water separator. For some reason this permit
was never issued and the oil/water separator was never constructed.
PART III - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
1. Performance Evaluation: There is no self-moni.toring.data available on this
facility, because the NPDES Permit drafted in 19.75 was never issued.
2. 0 & M Evaluation: N/A.
3. Recommendations and/or Special Conditions: It is recommended that the permit
be issued as requested. This Permit should include provisions for

-2-
construction of an oil/water separator.
Since this facility will not be able to comply with effluent limitations
a SOC will be drafted after the permit is issued.

of the Act for a toxic pollutant which is present in the discharge and
such standard or prohibition is more stringent than any limitation for
such pollutant in this permit, this permit shall be revised or modified
in accordance with the toxic effluent standard or prohibition and the
permittee so notified.

PART III
Permit No. NC 0027057
B. Previous Permits
All previous State water quality permits issued to this facility,
whether for construction or operation or discharge, are hereby revoked
by issuance of this permit. The conditions, requirements, terms, and
provisions of this permit authorizing discharge under the National
Pollutant Discharge Elimination System governs discharges from this
facility.
C. Construction
No construction of wastewater treatment facilities or additions thereto
shall be begun until Final Plans and Specifications have been submitted
to the Division of Environmental Management and written approval and
Authorization to Construct has been issued. If no objections to Final
Plans and Specifications has been made by the DEM after 30 days following
receipt of the plans or issuance of this permit, whichever is latter, the
plans may be considered approved and construction authorized.
D. Certified Operator
Pursuant to Chapter 90A of North Carolina General Statutes, the permittee
shall employ a certified wastewater treatment plant operator in responsible
charge of the wastewater treatment facilities. Such operator must hold a
certification of the grade equivalent to the classification assigned to
the wastewater treatment facilities.
E. Other Requirements
1. The "daily average" limitations for oil and grease stated in Part I.,
A. above, shall be deemed to have been exceeded if either:
a. The arithmetic average of the analyses of all representative
samples taken during a calendar month by the permittee in
accordance with the monitoring requirements set forth above
exceeds 30 mg/1; or
b. The analyses of any two representative grab samples taken by
the State at least six (6) hours apart during any consecutive
thirty (30) day periods each individually exceed 30 mg/1.
Each sample taken by either the permittee or the State shall be
presumed to be representative. However, due to the variability of
the sampling and analysis of oil and grease discharge from petroleum
marketing terminals, the permittee may in good faith declare a maximum
of 10% of the samples taken by it during a calendar year, but not
more than one sample taken during any calendar month, to be non-
representative.

remit. Nu. nu UUZ/Ub/
No sample may be so excluded if it is the only sample taken by the
permittee during a calendar month. Such a declaration must be included
in writing with the next Discharge Monitoring Report submitted in
accordance with Part I., C., 2. of this permit, and must include the
results of the analysis of the excluded sample, and a written
explanation for the exclusion of that sample. If any sample is so
excluded, the "daily average" concentration shall be the arithmetic
average of the analyses of the remaining non -excluded samples.
2. The "daily maximum" limitation for oil and grease stated in Part I.,
A. shall be deemed to have been exceeded if either:
a. The arithmetic average of the analyses of all representative
samples taken during a calendar day by the permittee or by
this State (a minimum of two samples taken at least six hours
apart) in accordance with the monitoring requirements set forth
above exceeds 60 mg/I; or
b. The analysis of a single sample (when it is the only one taken
during the day by the permittee) exceeds 60 mg/l.
Each sample taken by either the permittee or the State shall be presumed
to be representative. However, due to the variability of the sampling
and analysis of oil and grease discharged from petroleum marketing
terminals, the permittee may in good faith declare a maximum of 10%
of the samples taken by it during a calendar year, but not more than
one sample taken during any calendar month, to be non -representative.
No sample may be so excluded if it is the only sample taken by the
permittee during a calendar month. Such a declaration must be included
in writing with the next Discharge Monitoring Report submitted in
accordance with Part I., C., 2. of this permit, and must include the
results of the analysis of the excluded sample, and a written explan-
ation for the exclusion of that sample. If any sample is so excluded,
the "daily maximum" concentration shall be the arithmetic average of
the analyses of the remaining non -excluded samples.
Other Petroleum company officials have contended that, while the
discharges from most of their marketing and bulk terminals are capable
of meeting this "daily maximum" limitations as stated above, certain
of their facilities cannot be so equipped to meet this limitation
as stated above. If the permittee can present sufficient evidence to
demonstrate that this facility cannot be so equipped, the State will
modify this limitation to the extent needed (in no case to exceed
100 mg/1) to assure reasonable compliance with the "daily maximum"
limitation.

Permit No. NC0027057
3. It is recognized that influent quality changes equipment malfunction
or other circumstances may sometimes result ineffluentconcentrations
exceeding the permit limitations despite the exercise of appropriate
care and maintenance measures, and corrective measures by the permittee.
The permittee may come forward to demonstrate to the State that such
circumstances exist in any case where effluent concentrations exceed
those set forth in this permit. The State will consider such
information in determining appropriate enforcement measures, if any,
to be taken.
4. A calendar day is defined as any consecutive 24-hour period.
5. The "daily maximum" concentration is defined as the arithmetic average
of one or more representative grab samples taken during any calendar
day. Should effluent sampling be done on more than one calendar day
during the month, the arithmetic average indicating the largest "daily
maximum" concentrations shall be reported on the N. C. Discharge
Monitoring Report Form.
6. Collection of representative samples shall be required during periods
of discharges. Should there be no discharge during normal working
hours, the Permittee shall report "No Discharge" for that reporting
period.
7. The reported flow shall be the arithmetic average of the total volume
discharged on each of the sampling days during the reporting period.
Flow may be calculated utilizing a flow recorder, rain gauge, or any
other similar device.
8. In connection with submission of records and reports required under
this permit, the Permittee shall not be deemed to have waived such
privilege against self-incrimination as may be offered under or by
the Fifth Amendment of the United State6Constitution.
