Note: eight outfalls exist at this facility. One WLA requested to ease tracking.
Note: benzene and toluene limits for outfall 001, due to high levels and Region request;
etheylbenzene and MTBE monitoring due to current SOP.
Turbididty levels excessive..., since this is a zero flow stream, effluent turbididty may well
represent background conditions for comparison. The levels submitted on the DMR's may
well represent violations.

Note for Marcia Toler-McCullen
From: Dave Goodrich
Date: Sun, Jul 31, 1994 10:01 AM
Subject: RE: WLAs in region
To: Carla Sanderson
Cc: Marcia Toler-McCullen
All WLA's were received and were accidentally kept in the permit files. This was my fault.
They came in during a cutoff period in late May/early June when I was pushing everyone
hard to get as many permits as possible to notice. I made the decision to allow some folks to
draft permits directly from the fact sheet and told them to put the fact sheet in Marcia's box
after the draft was completed. I know this is not normal procedure but I felt it was necessary
at the time. I gathered together the three fact sheets and placed them in Marcia's box today. I
assure you I am NOT continuing this practice and I apologize for any confusion it caused.
From: Carla Sanderson on Wed, Jul 13, 1994 8:59 AM
Subject: WLAs in region
To: Dave Goodrich
I got a call from Mike P. this morning about three WLAs they know they sent back but are on
the >45 day list sent to the region.
1. Precedent-36871
2. Star Enterprise-22187
3. Louis Dreyfus Energy-21971
Do you know anything about these. Did any go to GP?
Please let me know and I will get Marcia to change the log.
Thanks!

Brief of WLA Analysis
Previous WLA's
1984: permitted with Oil & Grease and pH limits under the name Union Oil Co. of California
1989: renewed with Setteable Solids limits, Turbididty and Lead limits as well as Episodic Acute Toxicity test and
benzene, toluene, and xylene monitoring in conjunction with the tox test, under the name Unocal - Southeast
Terminal name changed again in 1992 and 1993, with Lousi Dreyfus being the current permittee name.
I talked with P & E about the eight outfalls for this facility. They requested I keep this as one WLA request to make
tracking easier, ( and so that none of the recommendations get lost). Per Region request, and P & E concurrence, I will
apply Benzene and Toluene limits to all outfalls, (with monitoring for ethylbenzene, xylene, and lead) but only outtall 001
will recieve a continuation of their toxicity test requirement, (it will now be an annual requirement).
DMR's
Turbidity often exceeding 50 NTU. Since this is a zero flow stream, this may constitute a violation; no up and downstream
monitoring was performed to assess this against.
Turbidity has continued to be a problem for this facility: I will note this on the Fact Sheet for Region comment.
Oil & Grease have also had violations.

Facility has a long record of either passing or no significant LC50 at greater than 100 %

Subject: Modification to NPDES
Permit No. NCO021971
Unocal Corporation -Charlotte
Mecklenburg County
I BRANCH
The Division of Environmental Management is forwarding herewith a modification to the
subject permit. This modification is to replace the 48-hour LC50 Ceriodaphnia toxicity
requirement with a 24-hour LC50 Fathead Minnow toxicity requirement since this latter toxicity
test is more appropriate for facilities of the subject type which have infrequent and relatively small
discharges.
A revised Part III, Condition G is attached and should be inserted into your NPDES
permit. Please discard the old Part III, Condition G.
All other terms and conditions contained in the original permit remain unchanged and in full
effect. This modification is issued pursuant to the requirements of North Carolina General Statute
143-215.1 and the Memorandum of Agreement between North Carolina and the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency dated December 6, 1983. This permit modification becomes
effective immediately.
If this decision is unacceptable to you, you have the right to an adjudicatory hearing upon
written request within thirty (30) days following receipt of this letter. This request must be in the
form of a written petition, conforming to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes,
and filed with the Office of Administrative Hearings, Post Office Drawer 11666, Raleigh, North
Carolina, 27604. Unless such a demand is made, this decision shall be final and binding.

Part Iii
Permit No. NC0021971
G. ACUTE TOXICITY TESTING REQUIREMENT
Fathead Minnow 24 hr - Monitoring (Annual) for Episodic Events
The permittee shall conduct FIVE acute toxicity tests using protocols defined
in E.P.A. Document 600/4-85/013 entitled "The Acute Toxicity of Effluents to
Freshwater and Marine Organisms". The monitoring shall be performed as a
Fathead Minnow (Pimephales promelas) 24 hour static test, using effluent
collected as a single grab sample. Effluent samples for self -monitoring
purposes must be obtained below all waste treatment. Sampling and subsequent
testing will occur during the first five discrete discharge events after the
effective date of this permit. After monitoring of the first five toxicity
tests, the permittee will conduct one test annually, with the annual period
beginning in January of the next calendar year. The annual test requirement
must be performed and reported by June 30. If no discharge occurs by June 30,
notification will be made to the Division by this date. Toxicity testing will
be performed on the next discharge event for the annual test requirement.
The parameter code for this test is TAE6C. All toxicity testing results
required as part of this permit condition will be entered on the Effluent
Discharge Form (MR-1) for the month in which it was performed, using the
appropriate parameter code. Additionally, DEM Form AT-1 (original) is to be
sent to the following address:
Attention:
Environmental Sciences Branch
North Carolina Division of
Environmental Management
P.O. Box 27687
Raleigh, N.C. 27611
Test data shall be complete and accurate and include all supporting
chemical/physical measurements performed in association with the toxicity
tests, as well as all dose/response data. Total residual chlorine of the
effluent toxicity sample must be measured and reported if chlorine is employed
for disinfection of the waste stream.
Should any test data from either these monitoring requirements or tests
performed by the North Carolina Division of Environmental Management indicate
potential impacts to the receiving stream, this permit may be reopened and
modified to include alternate monitoring requirements or limits.
NOTE: Failure to achieve test conditions as specified in the cited document,
such as minimum control organism survival and appropriate environmental
controls, shall constitute an invalid test. Failure to submit suitable test
results will constitute noncompliance with monitoring requirements.

REVISION OF BIOMONITORING REQUIREMENTS
Southeast Terminal (Charlotte)
NPDES No. NC0021971, Mecklenburg County
Southeast Terminal (Greensboro)
NPDES No. NC0026247, Guilford County
I am writing to confirm that the biomonitoring requirements contained in the NPDES
permits for the subject facilities are to modified.
During a recent telephone conversation with your office I was informed that the current
monitoring protocol, which specifies a 48-hour LC50 determination using Ceriodaphnia
dubia as the test organism, is not now considered an appropriate test method. It was
indicated that this test is now considered inappropriate for facilities which have only
infrequent and relatively small discharges.
The monitoring requirement that was considered to be more appropriate was cited as a 24-
hour L.C50 test utilizing Fathead Minnows (Pimephales promelas) as the test species. It was
indicated that we should proceed with the use of the new biomonitoring procedure for
future testing, and that the NPDES permits for both of the facilities in question would be
modified.
Unocal is to change the biomonitoring program at the Greensboro and Charlotte Southeast
Terminals. At each facility we will arrange to have five sequential discharges tested with
the new procedure, and will continue with annual biomonitoring thereafter.
I was advised during the telephone conversation that the NPDES permits for the subject
facilities would be modified to show the changes described above, and that Unocal could
proceed immediately to implement the changes. If there is any reason that we should wait
to make the monitoring changes, please let me know as soon as possible. Unless we are
advised otherwise, we will proceed with the new monitoring program.
If you require additional information, please do not hesitate to call me at (404) 320-2272.
