Authorization to Construct
Stormwater Collection/Treatment
Selma Distribution Terminal
Johnston County
Dear Mr. Haid:
On December 3, 1996 and February 11, 1997, Amerada Hess submitted a request for a permit �
modification and an Authorization to Construct. Amerada Hess proposes to install a railroad car jet-fuel w
loading rack at the Selma Terminal. Stormwater within the bermed rail car loading area will flow via the
collection system to an oil/water separator and then to a lined stormwater retention lagoon. At the i
southwestern corner of the property, the lagoon will discharge through a new outfall 002 into a riprap
ditch, and ultimately to an unnamed tributary to Mill Creek, a class WS-TV, NSW stream. The NPDES,,,
permit must be modified to account for the new outfall 002 at the Selma Terminal. This letter grants only"
an Authorization to Construct,the permit modification will be forthcoming. The system shall not
discharge through outfall 002 until the permittee receives the modified permit.
Final plans and specifications for the subject project have been reviewed and found to be
satisfactory. Authorization is hereby granted for the construction and installation of a bermed railroad car
loading rack, stormwater collection system, a 4500 gallon oil/water separator, a 709,000 gallon lined
stormwater retention lagoon, and all pumps, piping, and appurtenances associated with discharge of
.treated stormwater into an unnamed tributary to Mill Creek in the Neuse River basin.
The proposed system can allow stormwater to flow directly from the bermed area to the lined
retention basin, bypassing the oil/water separator. The Division requires that flow should only bypass the
oil/water separator when use of the separator would cause flow to backup into the collection system of the
bermed area. Backup of flow is not expected to occur frequently since the bermed area has storage capable
of containing the 10-year 6-hour rainfall event.
This Authorization to Construct is issued in accordance with Part III, Paragraph A of NPDES
Permit No. NCO003549 issued November 2, 1994 and shall be subject to revocation unless the
wastewater treatment facilities are constructed in accordance with the conditions and limitations specified in
Permit No. NC0003549.
Any sludge generated from this treatment facility must be disposed of in accordance with G.S.
143-215.1 and in a manner approved by the North Carolina Division of Water Quality.
