(EI) is submitting the enclosed application for an Individual Permit to Discharge Stormwater Associated with Industrial Activity under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permitting Program for the above referenced terminal owned and operated by Associated Asphalt Charlotte, LLC (Associated Asphalt). This application is being submitted in response to our discussion with you using Microsoft Teams on August 17, 2023, followed by guidance provided by Mr. Michael Lawyer of your office by e-mail on August 25, 2023. This site is an existing petroleum distribution tenninal handling liquid asphalt that has been considered as not discharging historically. This is due to the fact that the bulk storage tanks, containing asphalt cement, are contained within an earthen diked area with a gate valve that is closed under normal conditions(including normal stot to events). These storage tanks are provided with secondary containment determined to be adequate in accordance with the 40 CF'R 112 Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) Plan for the facility. Additionally, asphalt cement requires heating to remain fluid at temperatures in excess of 250' F and hardens quickly when cooled to ambient temperatures, thereby providing "self-containment" when released. During our Teams discussion, facility personnel reported that the gate valve had only been opened once in the past eight (8) years when a hurricane was anticipated, and that event did not produce a stormwater discharge. Associated Asphalt anticipates that there will continue to be no stormwater discharge with this closed gate valve in use. However, following receipt of DEMLR guidance, management has decided to minimize risk by applying for an Individual NPDES Industrial Stonmwater Permit. The application forrns and supporting documentation are included in the following subsequent section tabs: • Section 1.0— EPA Form I • Section 2.0—Topographic Map Attachment to EPA Form 1 a Section 3.0— EPA Form 2F 2101 Gateway Centre Boulevard Suite 200 Morrisville, NC 27560 Tel: (919)657-7500 Fax: (919)657-7551 Brianna Young September 11, 2023 DEMLR—Stormwater Program Page 2 • Section 4.0— Site Drainage Maps Attachments to EPA Form 2F Associated Asphalt anticipates a NPDES Permit for a bulk petroleum terminal handling liquid asphalt only. A Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP)in addition to the existing SPCC Plan should not be required for the Charlotte Terminal,as controls and Best Management Practices (BMPs) appropriate for bulk tank storage are adequately addressed in the existing SPCC Plan. Stormwater monitoring conditions will need to include provisions for no flow, as there is not discharge through the single outfall at the Charlotte Terminal during normal storm events. Please review the enclosed application and supporting documentation to issue the requested permit. Associated Asphalt and El are available to answer questions as necessary.
