SUBJECT: Exxon Company -Charlotte Marketing Terminal
NPDES Permit No. NCO004839
Mecklenburg County
I have reviewed the information from Nancy Luthy of the Exxon Company
concerning the use of a certain soap to clean the trucks at the Charlotte Terminal. The
accompanying Materials Safety Data Sheet indicated that this soap is also known as "butyl
cellosolve". To determine some background on the toxicity of this substance, I asked the
Aquatic Toxicology Unit to provide some information on butyl cellosolve. The attached
memorandum shows their findings and also their conclusion that the existing chronic
toxicity test for outfall 001 of the Exxon -Charlotte Terminal should adequately protect the
receiving stream. The Rapid Assessment Group concurs with their recommendation. If
additional information shows that this substance will be discharged from any outfall other
than 001, then it should be reevaluated and a toxicity test applied to that outfall if one is not
already in place.
If there are any questions, please contact me.

Subject: Aquatic toxicity data for 2-Butoxyethanol (CAS# 111-76-2) ,
Exxon Co -Charlotte Marketing Terminal; NC0004839; Mecklenburg County
At your request, a search for aquatic toxicity information concerning 2-butoxyethanol (butyl
cellosolve) was initiated on September 27, 1993. An estimate of the 96-hour LC50 for Lepomis
macrochirus was calculated at 1490 mg/11. As stated in North Carolina's Administrative Code Section
15A NCAC Subchapter 213, Paragraph .0202 (1)(b), "for specific chemical constituents or compounds
for which values described under Subparagraph (1)(a) of this Rule can not be determined, acceptable
levels," [of acute toxicity], "will be equivalent to a concentration of one-third or less of the lowest
available LC50 value". The resultant maximum acceptable level for 2-butoxyethanol was calculated to
be 496.7 mg/l. Since this discharge is episodic, protection to the acute vs. chronic level would probably
most appropriate due to the relatively short period of exposure.
Fathead minnows would be expected to exhibit similar reactions to this compound, but data was
unavailable. This facility has a W.E.T. monitoring requirement for pipe 001. Effects of discharge of this
compound via that pipe should therefore be covered. If we can provide you with further information,
please feel free to contact us at 733-2136.
