A. (4.) EFFLUENT LIMITATIONS AND MONITORING REQUIREMENTS SPECIAL
CONDITIONS — MTBE MONITORING
For the protection of public health, oil terminals discharging to waters classified as water supplies
("WS" waters) shall adhere to the following action plan:
I. Monthly monitoring for MTBE (except as modified under 2.) is required for the duration of the
permit. See Parts A. -(I.), A. (2.), and A. (3.).
2. After a one-year test period of monthly monitoring or after twelve (12) discharge events have
been sampled and analyzed, the permittee shall review MTBE data. If MTBE is not detected, the
facility may request the Division to reduce the MTBE monitoring frequency. Granting this
request shall constitute a minor modification to the NPDES permit.
3. If MTBE is detected during the test period, the permittee shall submit an MTBE Reduction Plan.
This plan may include site -specific Best Management Practices (BMPs) or engineering solutions.
A copy of this plan shall be submitted to:
North Carolina Division of Water Quality
Water Quality Section
Attn: NPDES Unit
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, NC 27699-1617
4. The Division anticipates that an MTBE regulatory criterion or Water Quality Standard will be
established during the coming permit cycle. For the next cycle of permit renewals, i.e., 2006, the
Division expects to apply this criterion or standard to MTBE data collected during this permit
cycle. Should the permittee's MTBE data indicate discharge in excess of this criterion or Water
Quality Standard, an MTBE limit will be added to the permit monitoring requirements at
renewal.

Permit N00003549
A. (5.) EFFLUENT LIMITATIONS AND MONITORING REQUIREMENTS SPECIAL
CONDITIONS — ACUTE TOXICITY MONITORING (ANNUAL)
The permittee shall conduct annual toxicity tests using protocols defined as definitive in EPA Document
EPA160014-901027 entitled "Methods for Measuring the Acute Toxicity of Effluents to Freshwater and
Marine Organisms." The monitoring shall be performed as a Fathead Minnow (Pimephales pronzelas)
24-hour static test. Effluent samples for self -monitoring purposes must be obtained below all waste
treatment. The permittee will conduct one test annually, with the annual period beginning in January of
the calendar year of the effective date of the permit. 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, DWQ Form AT-1 (original) is to be sent
to the following address:
Attention: North Carolina Division of Water Quality
Environmental Sciences Branch
1621 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1621
Completed Aquatic Toxicity Test Forms shall be filed with the Environmental Sciences Branch no later
than 30 days after the end of the reporting period for which the report is made.
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 Water Quality indicate potential impacts to the receiving stream, this permit may be re-
opened 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
and will require immediate follow-up testing to be completed no later than the last day of the
month following the month of the initial monitoring.

INTRODUCTION
TransMontaigne Product Services, Inc., (herein referred to as TransMontaigne or the permittee), requires a National
Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit to dispose treated wastewater to the surface waters of the
state. The permittee's 5-year NPDES permit has expired and they have requested renewal from the Division of
Water Quality (the Division). This Fact Sheet sutnmarizes the background information and the rationale used by the
Division's NPDES Unit to determine permit limits and conditions.
FACILITY RECORDS REVIEW
Facility Description. TransMontaigne operates the TransMontaigne Selma Terminal, it jet fuel and other petroleum
products bulk -storage and distribution center in ,Johnston County. This facility was previously permitted as
TransMontaigne Terminaling, Inc. Discharges from this facility are through three outfalls.
Fact Shect
Renewal -- NPDES Permit NC0003549
Page I

Discharge from Outfall 001 consists of hydrostatic test water and storrnwater runoff from the diked above ground
storage tank (AST) containment (south terminal area). This flow receives no treatment other than cascade aeration.
Stormwater from the south terminal area loading rack and pump pad area as well as wash down waters from the
loading rack are directed to the petroleum contact water tank and shipped off site. The discharge from the AST
containment area outlet pipe enters an unnamed tributary to Mill Creek.
Discharge from Outfall 002 consists of storrnwater from the rail car loading area. This flow goes to an oil/water
separator, and then to a stormwater pond. The water enters a ditch along the railroad and then enters an unnamed
tributary to Mill Creek.
Discharge from Outfall 003 consists of: stormwaters from the diked AST area (north terminal area), from the north
terminal loading rack and pump pad areas, and from the paved area; hydrostatic test water; and loading rack wash
down water. The stormwater from the loading rack and pump pad areas and the loading rack wash down waters are
directed through an oil/water separator. The AST containment area stormwater, the paved area stormwater, and the
hydrostatic test water bypass the oil/water separator, combine with the other wastewater flows from the separator,
and flow northwest along NC highway 1929 before discharging into an unnamed tributary to Mill Creek.
The existing permit became effective September 1, 1999 (with an expiration date of March 31, 2003). On
August 9, 2002, the Division received TransMontaigne's initial permit renewal request. A revised request
was received on May 14, 2003.
Waste Load Allocation (WLA). The Division reviewed the February 1993 WLA that developed effluent
limits and monitoring requirements based on an in -stream waste concentration (IWC) of 100% (zero -flow
stream). The Division also reviewed the current permit. The Division judges these limits and monitoring
requirements to be appropriate for this renewal with the exception of the additions and deletions listed below
(see PERMITTING APPROACH SUMMARY).
Verifying Existing Stream Conditions. This facility discharges to a "zero -flow" stream, an unnamed
tributary (UT) to Mill Creek, segment number 27-40, a class WS-IV NSW stream within the Neuse River
Basin. Mill Creek is not listed as an impaired water body in the 2002 Integrated 305(b) and 303(d) Report.
COMPLIANCE REVIEW
Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMR) -- Effluent Data Review. DMRs were reviewed from September
1999 through September 2003. Discharges from all three outfails occurred episodically, with several months
of no flow during each year. The permittee reported maximum discharges of 0.4125 MGD (August 2000) for
Outfall 001, 0.495 MGD (July 2001) for Outfall 002, and 0.0258 MGD (July 2000) for Outfall 003. These
maximum flows were used for reasonable potential calculations (see below).
Summary of Reasonable Potential Analysis (RPA). The Division conducted an EPA -mandated RPA for
data reported from the previous permit cycle on Outfalls 001 and 003. There was insufficient data to conduct
an RPA for Outfall 002 due to the infrequent discharge. Monitoring parameters and the RPA results are
summarized in Tables 1, 2, and 3.

Notices of Violation (NOVs). The facility received an NOV in March 2000 for failure to submit effluent
toxicity testing for 1999. The facility received an NOV fora lead exceedance occurring at Outfall 001 in
November 2002. Subsequent. file correspondence indicates that TransMontaigne paid a small civil assessment
penalty and that no further action took place. The facility received an NOV for a lead exceedance reported in
March 2003.
Facility Inspections. The Raleigh Regional Office (RRO) inspected this facility on September 25, 2002, and
identified no significant compliance issues at the time of the inspection.
Whole Effluent Toxicity (WET) Test. In the years 1999 — 2003 TransMontaigne reported six toxicity tests
for Outfall 001(45 discharge events during the term of the permit), three toxicity tests for Outfall 002 (only
five discharge events), and five toxicity tests for Outfall 003 (35 discharge events). All tests passed at >
100%.
PERMITTING STRATEGY
Revised Standard Operating Procedures (SOP). The Division of Water Quality has revised the permitting
strategies and the SOP for this and all oil terminals in the state. A new document has been generated by the
NPDES Unit entitled, "Permit Requirements for Discharges from Oil and Petroleum Storage Facilities 2001
Permitting Strategy" (based on a 1996 SOP). This document, hereafter referred to as the 2001 SOP, addresses
issues and delineates monitoring frequencies and permit limits for contaminants commonly found at these
facilities.
Summary of Compliance Under 2001 SOP. Under the 2001 SOP, flow monitoring will be changed from
"monthly" to "episodic" (2001 SOP Part I.A.). This facility's effluent shall be analyzed monthly (unless there
is no discharge during the month) for TSS (I.C.), oil and grease (I.D.), BTEX (I.E.), MTBE (I.I.), lead (Part
II.B., at Outfall 001 only), and phenol (III.A.). The facility's outfalls shall be analyzed quarterly for turbidity
(II.C.). The facility's effluents shall be analyzed twice per year by EPA Method 625 (l.F.). This facility's
effluent shall be tested annually for acute toxicity (I.B.).
Footnotes to the Effluent Limits and Monitoring Requirements page shall reflect no direct discharge of tanks
solids, tank bottom water, or the tank rag layer (I.G.). Footnotes shall also stipulate no direct discharge of
hydrostatic test water if benzene or toluene concentrations exceed their respective water quality standard
(I.H).
Neuse River Basin Nutrient Limitations. Nitrogen. The Environmental Management Commission has
established nutrient reduction goals and strategies for the Neuse River basin (15A NCAC 213 .0232ff).
Section 213 .0234(5)(i) provides that dischargers with permitted flows less than 0.5 MGD (approximately 120
dischargers) shall be assigned collectively an annual discharge allocation of 138,000 pounds. For the three
complete permit tern years 2000 — 2002, TransMontaigne reported site -wide annual nitrogen discharges of
22.65#N/yr, 65.4#N/yr, and 41.23#N/yr. These values represent 0.016% to 0.05% of the annual allocation for
this class of dischargers. Data values this low support the NPDES Unit's internal designation of
TransMontaigne's discharges as non -nutrient bearing wastestreams. Neither the Division nor the permittee
has identified a nitrogen source on this site. No nitrogen limits, monitoring, or reporting are proposed for the
new permit.
Pho_-_osRhorus. Section 213 .0234(6) establishes a quarterly average phosphorus discharge limit of2.0 nig/L for
two categories of dischargers in the Neese basin, not including TransMontaigne. However, applying the 2.0
f act 5hcel
Rencwal -• NPDES NC0003549
Pagc 5

mg/L as guidance as to what level may be significant in supporting the Neuse River basin nutrient reduction
goals and strategies is helpful in evaluating the TransMontaigne permit renewal. To date, the facility has
averaged 0.11 mg/L nitrogen, with only one of the 66 reported nitrogen values greater than the 2.0 mg/L
quarterly average applied to the other categories of dischargers in the Neuse River basin. Data values this low
support the NPDES Unit's internal designation of TransMontaigne's discharges as a non -nutrient bearing
wastestreams. Neither the Division nor the permittee has identified a phosphorus source on this site. No
phosphorus limits, monitoring, or reporting are proposed for the new permit.
Phenol — Monitoring and Limits Calculations. When combined with chlorine, phenol can cause taste and
odor (organoleptic) problems in drinking water, and can also result in the tainting of fish tissues. Therefore, in
accordance with the 2001 SOP, all dischargers to state water supply (WS) waters shall conduct monthly
effluent monitoring for phenol. Moreover, if analytical results suggest "reasonable potential," a phenol limit
shall be included in the permit.
A phenol limit magnitude depends on dilution. Dilution has been calculated at the Smithfield water plant
intake where chlorine is introduced. The Division used 1 µg/L (the aesthetic limit for phenol) at the raw water
intake to calculate a wasteload allocation in pounds per day (lbs./day). Finally, the wasteload allocation was
distributed equally among the known phenol dischargers, but assigned as a permit limit only to facilities
which showed reasonable potential to exceed the water quality stream standard.
Currently ten bulk storage facilities discharge to unnamed tributaries to Mill Creek. The Division used
published 30Q2 flows from an EPA stream gauge located on the Neuse River at the US Highway 70 bridge in
Smithfield. The 30Q2 flow, not the 7Q10, was deemed appropriate because of the aesthetic standard for
phenol.
Flow Calculations:
Given: Flow (30Q2) Neuse River = 219 cfs (USGS Gauging Station)
Flow (30Q2) Buffalo Creek = 0.18 cfs (USGS data)
Estimated 30Q2 at raw water intake -- 218.8 cfs (Neuse — Buffalo Ck flow)
Phenol Wasteload Calculation:
218.8 cfs x (0.001 nng/L) x 8.34 - 1.177 lbs./day distributed among ten dischargers
1.55
Phenol Allocation — I.177 Ibs./day
10 dischargers
Phenol Allocation = 0.118 lbs./day per discharger site
Phenol Limit = 0.1 1S lbs./dav per dischar er site
3 outfalls at TransMontaigne
Phenol Limit = 0.039 lbs./day per outfall
Based on the RPA and 2001 SOP, the Division has assigned a phenol limit of 0.039 lbs./day as a Monthly
Average to each of the three outfalls at the TransMontaigne Selma Terminal. A monthly average limit is
consistent with the use of the 30Q2 flow for organoleptic parameters.

PERMITTING APPROACH SUMMARY
Based on a review of the DWQ/NPDES Unit's 2001 SOP the following permit renewal decisions are
proposed:
• Change the flow monitoring requirement from monthly to episodic.
• Add a benzene limit at Outfall 002 based on the 2001 SOP. Monthly monitoring.
• Add an ethylbenzene monthly monitoring requirement at all three outfalls per the 2001 SOP. No
permit limit.
• Increase xylene monitoring to monthly at all three outfalls based on the 2001 SOP. No permit limit.
• Add a phenol limit at all three outfalls based on the RPA.
• Add an MTBE monthly monitoring requirement at all three outfalls per the 2001 SOP. No permit
limit.
• Revise turbidity monitoring to include quarterly monitoring at all three outfalls per the SOP. Drop
the turbidity lirnit on Outfall 001 based on the RPA.
• Drop the benzene and toluene limits on Outfall 001 based on the RPA. Monthly monitoring
remains.
• Drop the EPA Method 624 monitoring requirement on all three Outfalls based on the 2001 SOP.
• Drop the nitrogen monitoring requirement based on data analysis.
• Drop the phosphorus monitoring requirement based on data analysis.
• Retain all other existing permit provisions for annual toxicity testing, TSS, EPA Method 625,
benzene (003), lead (001), toluene (002 and 003), and oil & grease.

metal plating company would be 14, not 56.
Primary 73 Secondary
Main Treatment Unit Code: 530-0
PART III - OTHER PERTINENT INFORMATION
1. Is this facility being constructed with Construction Grant
Funds or are any public monies involved. (municipals only)? NA
2. Special monitoring or limitations (including toxicity)

requests: Parameters consistent with the DWQ policy for tank farm
discharges. We recommend phenol be a concentration limit instead
of a mass limit as in other tank farm permits. This is needed
due to the wide variability in flow measurement methods used at
different facilities, and even at different outfalls at the same
facility.
3. Important SOC, JOC or Compliance Schedule dates: (Please
indicate) NA
4. Alternative Analysis Evaluation: Has the facility evaluated
all of the non -discharge options available. Please provide
regional perspective for each option evaluated.
Spray Irrigation: NA
Connection to Regional Sewer System: Connection to the
Johnston County sewer system appears to be the only option, but
these discharges are >99% stormwater, so the County probably will
not this flow.
Subsurface: NA
other disposal options: NA
5. Other Special Items: See evaluations and recommendations.
PART IV - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
We have performed a CEI at this facility, as well as reviewed the
DWQ policy on tank farm permitting. No compliance issues were
noted at this facility. However, we do recommend that the phenol
limit that the policy dictates be included in the permit, be
noted as a concentration limit, not a mass limit as in the
Greensboro tank farm permits. This is needed due to the wide
variability/fluctuation in flow measurement methods necessary to
calculate the mass loading.
We recommend the permit be renewed with these items.

Amended Renewal Application NPDES Permit NO NCO003549
Dear Mrs. Stephens:
Enclosed please find two (2) copies of an amended renewal application for the subject
NPDES permit. The original permit application was received by your office on August 8,
2002, and is currently being processed.
This amended portion of the application reflects a change to Outfall 001. All stormwater
and wash water from the loading rack and pump pad areas is no longer discharged
through Outfall 001. These waters are now routed to the facility petroleum contact
water storage tank and are hauled off -site to licensed recycling facility.
Outfall 001 will continue to discharge the following wastewaters from outfall 001:
• Hydrostatic Test Water
• Stormwater from the diked containment storage tank area.
Please ensure that the draft permit will reflect this change.
Should you have any questions, please call me at 770/518-3671.
Very truly yours,
Barbara Castleberry
