NPDES Permit NC0022217
Wake County
On December 10, 2019, Stephanie Goss of the Raleigh Regional Office (RRO) conducted a
compliance evaluation inspection at the Motiva Raleigh Terminal site in Apex. The assistance of
Kristine Pelt and yourself during the inspection was greatly appreciated. The following
observations were made:
• The permit expired on April 30, 2018; however, the Division of Water Resources Water
Quality Permitting Section acknowledged that on October 23, 2017 receipt of the permit
renewal application was received.
• Motiva Enterprises, LLC is permitted to discharge stormwater.'wastewater from the Raleigh
Terminal located in Apex into an unnamed tributary of Middle Creek, a Class C-Nutrient
Sensitive Waters in the Neuse River Basin.
• Stormwater. wastewater is collected into a retention pond and discharged through an effluent
pipe at the outfall as needed. The outfall was closed and locked; therefore, no discharge was
occurring during the time of the inspection.
• The facility looked well maintained, clean and the benn surrounding the facility was in good
condition.
• A review of discharge monitoring report (DMR) data for the period January 2017 through
October 2019 showed all required monitoring was performed.
• A cursory review of laboratory and DMR data for June 2018 and April 2019 showed
consistent reporting of results.
