The terminal has bulk petroleum liquids storage capacity in excess of one million gallons Due to modifications proposed for the secondary containment structures associated with the current terminal, Apex is applying for an NPDES Minor Industrial permit in order to manage accumulated stormwater. The terminal has historically never discharged water as part of routine operations and has thus never obtained or held an NPDES Minor Industrial permit As a part of the NPDES permit review process, the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality has required Apex to prepare an Engineering Alternatives Analysis (EAA) This EAA is submitted to comply with the NCDEQ's requirements for a Minor Industrial NPDES permit application The Apex terminal proposes to only discharge stormwater collected from within the facility's secondary containment areas after the water has been processed through settling basins and oil water separators and met all enforceable effluent limitations This project does not involve domestic wastewater discharge Data collected and presented within this document reasonably demonstrates that a direct discharge is the most environmentally sound alternative selected from all reasonably cost-effective options This EAA document presents all information requested in electronic correspondence from Mr Charles Weaver on November 27, 2017 as well as all information required in the Engineering Alternatives Analysis (EAA) Guidance Document found on the Division of Water Resources website The structure of this document will follow the four steps presented in the guidance document previously mentioned The facility is located at River Road and consists of two properties The first property is located at 3314 River Road This is a 28 82 acre area on the west side of River Road with 16 tanks total The second property is at 3329 River Road and is 10 23 acres on the east side of River Road with 5 tanks total Partial topo survey was provided by the client, and stage storage volume was analyzed (by others) per tank farm to identify areas of containment The proposed containment system discharge will discharge to the Cape Fear River A Site Location Map is attached as Figure 1 1.1 Remediation System Description There are 7 tank farm containment areas that house the two tank parcels — Tank farm #1 drains to outfall 002 Tank farms #2 through tank farm #7 drain to outfall 003 Outfall 001 and 004 are bypass/emergency outfalls associated with these areas Culvert pipes connect the containment areas to the ultimate treatment facility A Site Map is included as Attachment 1 to provide site detail and proposed outfall locations The surface water gravity feeds to the stormwater (SW) retention ponds were applicable. For low lying areas this water is pumped through a pressurized force main The water settles in the SW retention pond, enters an oily water separator and then outfalls to the Cape Fear river Engineering Alternatives Analysis Amec Foster Wheeler Project No 2424-17-223 Apex Oil Company December 22, 2017 1.2 Contacts Applicant Owner Name Petroleum Fuel & Terminal Company Operator/Applicant Name Apex Oil Company, Incorporated Contact Person Matt Trottier (314) 889-9654 Mailing Address 8235 Forsyth Blvd, Suite 400 St Louis, MO 63105 Facility Facility Address 3314 River Road Wilmington, NC 28412 (910) 799-0030 Engineering Firm Amec Foster Wheeler E&I, Inc 5710 Oleander Drive, Suite 110 Wilmington, NC 28403 Nick A Parks, P E (910) 452-1185 2 Potential Restrictions 2.1 Zero Flow Restrictions The Cape Fear River at our point of interest is tidally affected The USGS currently refrains from providing low -flow estimates for streams known or suspected of being tidally affected Correspondence with the USGS is included as Attachment 2 The facility will not discharge any oxygen -consuming waste 2.2 Receiving Stream Classification Restrictions There are no receiving stream classification restrictions for the Cape Fear River at the point of discharge that would prohibit wastewater discharge to surface waters The receiving stream is classified as Tidal Salt Water SC (PNA) by the Division of Water Resources (DWR) 2.3 Basinwide Water Quality Plans The proposed point of discharge is located in the Cape Fear River Basin, specifically the subbasin Lower Cape Fear (HUC 03030005) The basin -specific plan published in 2005 identifies one permit limit to be recommended for oxygen -consuming wastes pertaining to new industrial discharges The limit is as follows New Industrial discharges BOD5 = 5 mg/I, NH3-N = 2 mg/I This facility will not discharge any oxygen -consuming waste (See Attachment 2) 2.4 Impaired Waters and TMDLs The Cape Fear River at the point of discharge is listed as impaired on the 2014 303(d) list. The 2014 AU Number is 18-(71)a3. The Parameters of Interest are Copper and Dissolved Oxygen. The 303(d) listing for the area of interest is included in Attachment 3 Engineering Alternatives Analysis Amec Foster Wheeler Project No 2424-17-223 Apex Oil Company December 22, 2017 2.6 Presence of Endangered Species A query of the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) database indicates that there are records for rare species, important natural communities, natural areas, or conservation/managed areas within the proposed project boundary There are no endangered species present within the project boundary The NCNHP query results are presented in Attachment 4 2.6 Remediation System Flow Projections: Monthly averages have been calculated based upon average annual precipitation received in the Wilmington, NC area of 571n/year and the proposed impervious drainage area Stormwater volumes are not expected to change over the next 20 -years A summary of discharge flows are below Outfall 001 — Valved emergency discharge/ bypass outfall only No regular discharge Total Area Drained 73,028SF, Area of Impervious Surface 54,771SF All drainage would be storm water runoff from the facility's tank farm secondary containment Outfall 002 — Valved outfall fed from storm water retention/ settling basin with a capacity of 366,000 gallons Controlled discharge from basin after storm water monitoring and inspection Any visual pollutants would be removed prior to discharge Total Area Drained 73,028SF, Area of Impervious Surface 54,771 SF All drainage would be storm water runoff from the facility's tank farm secondary containment The estimated average monthly flow is 162,169 gallons per month Outfall 003 — Valved outfall fed from a 10,000 gallon Oil/Water Separator Prior to the Oil/Water Separator, storm water accumulates in a storm water retention/ settling basin with a capacity of 542,000 gallons Controlled discharge after storm water monitoring and inspection Oil/Water Separator will be inspected and cleaned on a regular maintenance schedule Total Area Drained 375,544SF, Area of Impervious Surface 281,658SF All drainage would be storm water runoff from the facility's tank farm secondary containment The estimated average monthly flow is 833,912 gallons per month Outfall 004 — Valved emergency discharge/ bypass outfall only No regular discharge Total Area Drained 375,544SF, Area of Impervious Surface 281,658SF All drainage would be storm water runoff from the facility's tank farm secondary containment 3 Evaluate technologically feasible alternatives. 3.1 Connect to a Local POTW The Cape Fear Public Utility Authority operates a publicly owned treatment works (POTW) system for the Wilmington area Per a phone conversation on December 20, 2017 between Nick Parks and David Dailey with the CFPUA, the CFPUA does not currently accept stormwater discharge to the POTW system An Opinion of Cost for this option was not completed Engineering Alternatives Analysis Amec Foster Wheeler Project No 2424-17-223 Apex Oil Company December 22, 2017 3.2 Land Application The current site has secondary containment for the tanks for a majority of the site There are developed industrial parcels to the North, East and West of the facility The Cape Fear River is to the West Land application is infeasible based on land constraints An Opinion of Cost for this option was not completed 3.3 Wastewater Reuse The facility is a fuel storage facility, and therefore does not require water for operations The only possible re -use would be for limited irrigation purposes There is currently no irrigation system at the site and no plans to install one since secondary containment is being installed for the majority of the site An Opinion of Cost for this option was not completed 4 ECONOMIC FEASIBILITY OF ALTERNATIVES Due to current existing infrastructure, land uses, limited land availability, discharge options for the collected stormwater at the Terminal are very limited The alternatives discussed above are not feasible at this time, therefore, an economic feasibility evaluation of alternatives was not conducted 5 Local Government Approval Per a conversation between Matthew Trottier of Apex Oil Company with Derek Denard of the NCDEQ Division of Water Resources, the outflow associated with this project does not require local government approval because the NPDES permit is not for a non -municipal domestic wastewater treatment facility Engineering Alternatives Analysis Amec Foster Wheeler Project No 2424-17-223 Apex Oil Company December 22, 2017 ATTACHMENTS Attachment 1 Site Map Attachment 2 USGS Correspondence Attachment 3 Area of Interest 303(d) Listing Attachment 4 NCNHP Query Report Lu* r, Y � � 7 T— - =1 73 .

There are currently no techniques that allow for quantifying the effects of tides on low flows Concerns that tides may possibly reduce low -flow discharges (that is, relative to low -flow estimates for the same stream not tidally -affected) lead us to speculate that any such estimates for these streams may be too high Given the "back -n -forth" flow dynamics associated with tidal effects, attempting to determine low -flow characteristics based on the assumption of uni-directional flow characteristics is not meaningful You will need to contact the NCDEQ Division of Water Resources to obtain further guidance concerning any efforts to obtain an NPDES permit for a location in a tidally -affected stream I regret this response does not provide the flow statistics you were seeking, but hope this information is helpful in some manner or at least provides some direction to you in your efforts on this matter Thank you.

In order to determine streamflow at the proposed discharge location, contact the USGS at 919-571-4000." The state is looking for low flow data (specifically, drainage area, the summer and winter 7Q10, average flow and 30Q2 flow statistics) Our facility is located on the Cape Fear River in Wilmington, NC with approximate coordinates Latitude 34'1 1' 19"N, Longitude 77'57'14"W.
