Box 21628 Tulsa, Oklahoma 74101-1628 Subject: FINAL -- NPDES Permit No. NCO003671 Williams Terminals Holdings, Greensboro 11 Terminal 7109 West Market Street Guilford County Dear Mr. Morin: This letter transmits your final NPDES individual discharge permit for the subject facility. Please review this final document carefully to ensure thorough understanding of the information, conditions, and requirements of dischargers to water supply (WS) waters contained therein. The Division of Water Quality (the Division) has revised permitting strategies and Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) for this and all bulk -storage petroleum facilities and terminals in North Carolina. As part of permit renewal, the Division has also conducted EPA -required Reasonable Potential Analyses (RPA) on this facility's effluent data to determine the "reasonable potential" for identified parameters to exceed North Carolina receiving -stream Water Quality Standards and criteria. The following explanations summarize changes to your previous permit in compliance with the new 2001 SOP: BTEX. Williams Terminals Holdings (Williams) is now required to monitor monthly for BTEX parameters. Please note that this replaces the previous requirement for EPA Method 624. A Benzene limit appears in the permit because the RPA indicates "reasonable potential" based on data submitted, i.e., the "maximum predicted" concentration of 83 µg1L benzene well exceeds the "allowable concentration" of 1.19 µg/L benzene for WS waters. Williams' comments (October 25, 2001) regarding the benzene limit have been reviewed and considered. Please understand that a permit limit is dictated by discharge parameters and receiving stream conditions — not the test -method practical quantitation limit (PQL). Please continue to insist on the lowest possible test -method PQL available from your North Carolina —certified laboratory. 'A NCDENR N. C. Division of Water Quality 1617 Mail Service Center Raleigh, NC 27699-1617 (919) 733-7015 Customer Service 1 800 623-7748 Williams Terminals Holdings Greensboro II Terminal NPDES Permit NC0003671 Page 2 EPA Methods 624/625. The Division removed Method 624 monitoring because Method 624 did not detect compounds other than BTEX. However, because the majority of facilities now store, or have stored in the past, heavy -component fuels such as fuel oil and diesel, the Division has retained EPA Method 625 monitoring to detect naphthalene and related indicators of middle distillate compounds commonly found in these heavier fuels. The .Division will consider a request to discontinue this monitoring if the Permittee can document that the subject facility does not now, nor has ever, stored heavier -component fuels. Phenol monitoring remains in the permit, but with an added permit limit due to "reasonable potential." Please note that this final document has been modified from the draft permit to express the phenol limit in pounds per day (lbs./day) as a Monthly Average, 0.001 lbsJday, instead of a Daily Maximum of 0.85 µg/L shown in the draft. Again, the permit limit is dictated by receiving stream conditions -- not the test -method PQL. The Division calculated an instream wasteload allocation of 0.002 lbs./day phenol at the USGS stream gauge (0209400000) on Horsepen Creek — the assumed beginning of Lake Brandt Water Supply (incorrectly identified in draft documents as Lake Townsend). The 0.002 lbs./day was distributed equally between two (2),,,bulk-storage facilities within this drainage (0.001 lbs./day per discharger). The Division then calculated an allowable concentration of 0.85 µg/L using Williams' highest flow reported during the last permit cycle (0.1404 MGD, January 1999). Phenol was detected four (4) times in 26 samples. Based on data submitted, this facility's "predicted maximum" of 52.4 µg/L well exceeds its "allowable concentration" of 0.85 µg/L (calculations have been provided at Williams' request). Compliance reporting for phenol should also be expressed in tbs./day. Williams has consistently reported a test -method PQL for phenol of 5.0 µg/L during this past permit cycle. Please continue to insist on the lowest possible test -method PQL available from your North Carolina —certified laboratory. MTBE is a gasoline component recently identified by the EPA as potentially carcinogenic. Therefore, monthly MTBE monitoring has been added to this and all oil terminal permits discharging to WS waters of the state. The Permittee's comments on the draft permit (October 25, 2001) noted MTBE Special Conditions but excluded reference to this paragraph. The Division is greatly concerned that Williams detected MTBE in 14 of 18 sample events. Although a standard for MTBE has yet to be established for WS waters, this facility's RPA predicts a "maximum" of 12,026 µg/L MTBE, based on data submitted. This'maximum is —1000 times greater than 12.0 µg/L, the currently proposed Standard for Class WS waters. Therefore, Williams shall formulate and implement a MTBE Reduction Plan. This plan may include site -specific Best Management Practices (BMPs) and/or engineering solutions and shall be submitted to the NPDES Unit for approval by July 1, 2002, within six (6) months of the permit effective date.

The permittee shall not discharge tank (or pipe) contents following hydrostatic testing unless benzene concentration is less than 1.19 ug/L and toluene concentration is less than 11 µglL. Permit NC0003671 EFFLUENT LIMITATIONS AND MONITORING REQUIREMENTS SPECIAL CONDITIONS A. (2.) 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: 1. Monthly monitoring for MTBE (except as modified under 2.) is required for the duration of the permit [See Part A. (1.)]. 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, 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 NC000367 V EFFLUENT LIMITATIONS AND MONITORING REQUIREMENTS SPECIAL CONDITIONS A. (3.) 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 promelas) 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.

P.'s Greensboro 11 Terminal 7109 W. Market Street Guilford County Dear Mr. Corporon: wilibiffS ENERGY SERVICES 1717 Smith Boulder Avenue P.O. Box 21628 Tulsa, Oklahoma 74121-1628 Please note that while the draft permit is dated September 19, 2001, the postmark on the draft permit envelope was September 21, 2001, and the permit was not received (at the Tulsa, OK address) until October 1, 2001. Regarding subject draft NPDES permit, Williams appreciates the deletion of the requirement to perform EPA Method 624, but requests an explanation as to the continued semiannual requirement for EPA Method 625. Williams reported in its August 1, 2000 submittal that there had been no EPA Method 624/625 detections since Williams purchased the terminal in January 1999. Furthermore, in the records from the former owner Amoco, they had no detections during their last semiannual sampling event either. As a result, Williams requested a change from semiannual to annual for EPA Method 625, but the draft has been written for semiannual instead. Your compliance review lists zero hits on EPA Method 625 either. The only possible explanation on the draft is with reference to the 2001 SOP. However, Williams' Greensboro II NPDES permit is an individual permit, not a general (or generic) permit, but from the discussion about the revised SOP, it appears that NCDENR has essentially placed all oil terminals into one generic permit scenario. An explanation as to Departmental thinking would be appreciated. Any written literature with reference to the 2001 SOP, hard copy or on the Departmental website, would also be appreciated. Furthermore, Williams asks for an explanation as to the limits placed on benzene and phenol. The benzene limit is roughly 20% of the federal MCL, and the phenol Iimit is well below what the current EPA analytical methodologies provide as to detection levels, both for wet chemistry and GC/MS analytical methods. As a result, the limit placed on phenol is not even capable of being met by the laboratories. The phenol monitoring and limits calculations have been reviewed, but there are several questions, i.e, what do 1.55 and 0,001 mg/1 represent? Possibly the 0.001 mg/l is phenol's aesthetic limit (stated earlier in the calculations as 1.0 ugll), but then the question becomes what other phenol limits exist, and why was the aesthetic limit used? Furthermore, what would prevent the permit being written to allow for compliance with either a maximum concentration discharge or a maximum wasteload discharge per day? And, Williams would appreciate an explanation as to how the aesthetic and/or other limits were established, given that phenol cannot be measured at either the draft or aesthetic limit, and taking into account the above comment about individual permits versus general permits. Williams also appreciates the A. (2.) MTBE Monitoring language in the'draft, thereby allowing Williams to petition for a change in sampling frequency after 12 discharge events with no'MTBE detections. Williams requests that this same approach be taken relative to the BTEX constituents and phenol, again based on the fact that the discharge history at the Williams Greensboro II terminal has been exemplary. If there are any questions with regard to this transmittal, please call, I can be reached at 918/574-8420. Sincerely, teve W.

(formerly Williams Energy Ventures, Inc.), herein referred to as Williams 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 summarizes background information and rationale used by the Division's NPDES Unit to determine permit limits and conditions. This document also contains references to information sources relevant to this permit renewal (superscripted numbers in order of appearance, See References). FACILITY RECORDS REVIEW Facility Description. Williams (Table 1) operates the Williams Greensboro II Terminal (formerly the Amoco Oil Company Greensboro Terminal), a bulk storage petroleum fuel distribution center in Guilford County. Discharge from the facility consists of stormwater runoff controlled by a Water Pollution Control System consisting of: loading rack drains; oil/water separator; waste holding tank with optional offsite disposal; gravity -drained dike containment areas; and discharge control valves. Discharge travels to an unnamed tributary (UT) of Horsepen Creek. Table 1.

To stagger the renewal workload, the Division extended the expiration date to June 30, 2001. Waste Load Allocation (WLA). The Division conducted a WLA in August 1989 and developed effluent limits and monitoring requirements based on an in -stream waste concentration (1WC) of 100% (zero -flow stream).b The Division judges these limits and monitoring requirements to be appropriate for this renewal with the exception of 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) Horsepen Creek. This creek is a Class WS-III NSW stream within the Cape Fear River Basin. Horsepen Creek is not listed as an "impaired" waterbody [not 303(d) listed].$ COMPLIANCE REVIEW Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMR) -- Effluent Data Review. DMRs were reviewed from January 1996 through June 2001.' Discharges from Outfall 001 occurred episodically, zero to four times per monthly — non -discharge months reported as "no flow." The permittee reported a maximum discharge of 0.1404 MGD (June 2000). Therefore, this flow was used for reasonable potential calculations (see below). Monitored parameters and RPA data review are summarized in Table 2: Tahle 2.

Tact Sheet. Rcnewal -- NVDES NC0003671 Page 2 Based on the Division's our review of the DMRs, twice annual EPA 624/625 scans did not detect semi -volatile or volatile organic compounds. Total suspended residue (TSR) results do not exceed recommended levels. Notices of Violation (NOVs). An NOV was issued in May 1999 for "failure to submit a DMR report." No other NOVs were issued to this facility during this permit cycle.$ Facility Inspections. This facility was last inspected in August 22, 1990 in connection with a request to alter the discharge sampling point. Beginning with this permit cycle, the Winston-Salem Regional Office has scheduled regular annual inspections for this and all bulk -petroleum storage facilities in the Greensboro area.9 Whole Effluent Toxicity (WET) Test. The facility has passed its annual acute toxicity test for four (4) years(1997 through year 2001), except in 1999 at 50% effluent concentration only. Total Suspended Solids (TSS). Since 1996 only a single TSS level was reported in excess of the Daily Maximum permit limit (February 2001, 55.3 mg/L). This minor violation was not assessed. However, according to the Compliance and Enforcement Unit, future discharges in excess of 45 mg/L will be assessed as a violation.e PERMITTING STRATEGY Revised Standard Operating Procedures (SOP). The Division has revised permitting strategies and SOP for this and all oil terminals in the state based on a 1996 SOP.,This document, hereafter referred to as the 2001 SOP,10 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 shall be changed from "monthly" to "episodic" (Parts LA. ). This facility's effluent data shall be evaluated for compliance with acute toxicity, TSS, and oil and grease (Parts I..B. through LD.). In place of EPA Methods 624/625 monitoring requirements [eight (8) chlorophenols specified in the previous permit], the permittee shall now monitor monthly for phenol only (Part I.E.), required for all WS (water supply) waters, and for BTEX (Part III.A.). The Division shall also require monthly monitoring for MTBE (2001 SOP Part 1.1.) considering WS waters. 10 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. Footnotes also stipulate no direct discharge of hydrostatic test water if benzene and/or toluene concentrations exceed their respective water quality standard (2001 SOP, Parts I.G. and 1.1). 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 consumptive fish tissues. Therefore, in accordance with SOP 2001, all dischargers to state water supply (WS) waters shall conduct monthly effluent monitoring for total phenol. Moreover, if analytical results suggest "reasonable potential," a phenol limit shall be included in the permit.10 A phenol limit magnitude depends on dilution. Ideally dilution would be calculated at 'the Lake Brandt water plant intake where chlorine is introduced, but it is impractical at this time to measure dilution under lake conditions at the intake. Therefore, the Division calculated flow at the assumed Fact Sheet Renewal -- MIDE"S NCO00367E Pan headwaters of this water supply. Secondly, the Division used 1 µg/L (the aesthetic limit for phenol) to calculate a wasteload allocation in pounds per day (Ibs./day) at these headwaters. Finally, the wasteload allocation was distributed equally between two bulk -storage facilities discharging within this drainage as a permit limit, but only as each facility's data -set showed reasonable potential to exceed the instream Water Quality Standard. Currently two bulk storage facilities discharge to Horsepen Creek draining to Lake Brandt, the nearest downstream WS intake waterbody. An EPA stream gauge (0209400000) located on Horsepen Creek was assumed for the following calculations to approximate the headwaters of Lake Brandt. The Division used published 30Q2 flows from this stream gauge to calculate a wasteload allocation for phenol. The 30Q2 flow, not the 7Q10, was deemed appropriate because the standard for phenol is aesthetic. Flow Calculations: Given: Flow (30Q2) — 3.3 cfs (USGS Gauging Station) Drainage Area = 16.40 mil (USGS) Yield — Flow (cfs) Drainage Area (miZ) = 3.3 cfs 16.40 miZ 0.20 cfs/miZ Therefore: Total Flow Wasteload Calculation: 3.3 cfs x 0.001 mg/L x 8.34 = 1.55 Phenol Limit: Maximum reported flow Yield x Total Drainage Area 0.20 cfs/miZ x 16.40 miZ 3.3 cfs 0.002 lbs./day distributed among two (2) dischargers 0.002 lbs./day 2 dischargers 0.001 lbs./day per discharger Limit = Allocated wasteload (Ibs./day) 8.34 Ibs./MG 0.001 x 1.0 8.34 0.1404 - .00085 mg/L 0.1404 MGD (January 2000) x 1.0 mg/L Highest Reported Flow (MGD) 0.85 pg/L (allowable) Fact Sheet: Renewal -- NVD S NCOM671 Paige 4 This calculated phenol level (0.85 µg/L) was used to establish "reasonable potential" (see RPA spreadsheets). Because there is "reasonable potential" for phenol at Outfall 001, the Division has included the permit limit per discharger as a.Monthly Average of 0.001 lbsJday.

(formerly Williams Energy Ventures, Inc.), herein referred to as Williams 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 summarizes background information and rationale used by the Division's NPDES Unit to determine permit limits and conditions. This document also contains references to information sources relevant to this permit renewal (superscripted numbers in order of appearance, See References). FACILITY RECORDS REVIEW Facility Description. Williams (Table 1) operates the Williams Greensboro II Terminal (formerly the Amoco Oil Company Greensboro Terminal), a bulk storage petroleum fuel distribution center in Guilford County. Discharge from the facility consists of stormwater runoff controlled by a Water Pollution Control System consisting of: loading rack drains; oil/water separator; waste holding tank with optional offsite disposal; gravity -drained dike containment areas; and discharge control valves. Discharge travels to an unnamed tributary (UT) of Horsepen Creek. Table 1.

To stagger the renewal workload, the Division extended the expiration date to June 30, 200L Waste Load Allocation (WLA). The Division conducted a WLA in August 1989 and developed effluent limits and monitoring requirements based on an in -stream waste concentration (IWC) of 100% (zero -flow stream).6 The Division judges these limits and monitoring requirements to be appropriate for this renewal with the exception of 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) Horsepen Creek. This creek is a Class WS-III NSW stream within the Cape Fear River Basin. Horsepen Creek is not listed as an "impaired" waterbody [not 303(d) listed].s COMPLIANCE REVIEW Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMR) -- Effluent Data Review. DMRs were reviewed from January 1996 through June 2001.' Discharges from Outfall 001 occurred episodically, zero to four times per monthly — non -discharge months reported as "no flow." The permittee reported a maximum discharge of 0.1404 MGD (June 2000). Therefore, this flow was used for reasonable potential calculations (see below). Monitored parameters and RPA data review are summarized in Table 2: Table 2. DMR / RPA -- Data Review Summary Parameter Samples HItS P a�HiMean RP comments `/'Action I _...

Total suspended residue (TSR) results do not exceed recommended levels. r.1VOLV�Z %.k nA(I 19 Notices of Violation (NOVs). OVs were issued to this facility during this permit cycle.8 Facility Inspections. This facility was last inspected in August 22, 1990 in connection with a request to alter the discharge sampling point. Beginning with this permit cycle, the Winston-Salem Regional Office has scheduled regular annual inspections for this and all bulk -petroleum storage facilities in the Greensboro area.9 Whole Effluent Toxicity (WET) Test. The facility has passed its annual acute toxicity test for four (4) years(1997 through year 2001), except in 1999 at 50% effluent concentration only. Total Suspended Solids (TSS). Since 1996 only a single TSS level was reported in excess of the Daily Maximum permit limit (February 2001, 55.3 mg/L). This minor violation was not assessed. However, according to the Compliance and Enforcement Unit, future discharges in excess of 45 mg/L will be assessed as a violation.8 PERMITTING STRATEGY Revised Standard Operating Procedures (SOP). The Division has revised permitting strategies and SOP for this and all oil terminals in the state based on a 1996 SOP. This document, hereafter referred to as the 2001 SOP,10 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 shall be changed from "monthly" to "episodic" (Parts L.A. ). This facility's effluent data shall be evaluated for compliance with acute toxicity, TSS, and oil and grease (Parts L.B. through LD.). In place of EPA Methods 624/625 monitoring requirements [eight (8) chlorophenols specified in the previous permit], the permittee shall now monitor monthly for phenol only (Part LE.), required for all WS (water supply) waters, and for BTEX (Part III.A.). The Division shall also require monthly monitoring for MTBE (2001 SOP Part LL) considering WS waters. 10 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. Footnotes also stipulate no direct discharge of hydrostatic test water if benzene and/or toluene concentrations exceed their respective water quality standard (2001 SOP, Parts LG. and LH). Phenol — Monitoring and Limits Calculations. When combined with chlorine, phenol can cause taste and odor (organoteptic) problems in drinking water, and can also result in the tainting of consumptive fish tissues. Therefore, in accordance with SOP 2001, all dischargers to state water supply (WS) waters shall conduct monthly effluent monitoring for total phenol. Moreover, if analytical results suggest "reasonable potential," a phenol limit shall be included in the permit.14 imit rpdgnitude depends on dilution. Ideally dilution would be calculated at the Lake d water plant intake where chlorine is introduced, but it is impractical at this time to i ution under lake conditions at the intake. Therefore, the Division calculated flow at the headwaters of this water supply. Secondly, the Division used 1 µg/L (the aesthetic limit for Rao Sheep Kcncw3] -- NPI?ES NC0003671 Page 3 phenol) to calculate a wasteload allocation in pounds per day (tbs./day) at these headwaters. Finally, the wasteload allocation was distributed equally among phenol dischargers as a permit limit, but only as each facility's data -set showed reasonable potential to exceed the water quality stream standard. RWD � Currently two (2) bulk storage facilities discharge to Horsepen Creek draining to Lake nsand, e J nearest downstream WS intake waterbody. An EPA stream gauge (0209400000) located on Horsepen Creek was assumed for the following calculations to approximate the headwaters of Lak ownsan . The Division used published 30Q2 flows from this stream gauge to calculate a wasteload _aRbratkyrr for phenol. The 30Q2 flow, not the 7Q10, was deemed appropriate because the standard for phenol is J aesthetic. Flow Calculations: Given: Flow (30Q2) — 3.3 cfs (USGS Gauging Station) Drainage Area = 16.40 mil (USGS) Yield = Flow (cfs) Drainage Area (miZ) 3.3 cfs 16.40 mil = 0.20 cfs/miZ Therefore: Total Flow = Yield x Total Drainage Area = 0.20 cfs/mil x 16.40 miZ = 3.3 cfs Wasteload Calculation: 3.3 cfs x 0.001 mg/L x 8.34 = 0.002 lbs./day distributed among two (2) 1.55 dischargers = 0.002lbs./day 2 dischargers = 0.001 lbsJday per discharger Phenol Limit: Maximum reported flow = Limit = Allocated wasteload Obs./day) 8.34 lbs./MG 0.001 x 1.0 8.34 0.1404 -- .00085 mg/L 0.85 µg/L (allowable) 0.1404 MGD (January 2000) x 1.0 mg(L, — Highest Reported Flow (MGD) fact Sheet Renewal -- NPDES NC[1[103671 Page 4 Using 0.001 lbs. per day as the wasteload allocation for phenol, does th maximum predicted concentration exceed the allowable concentration { r the calculated limit) for this facility?

Box 21628 Tulsa, Oklahoma 74121-1628 Williams Energy Ventures, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("WEV Inc."), owns and operates a bulk petroleum terminal located at 7109 W. Market St., Greensboro, NC 27419. The facility operates in accordance with NPDES Permit No. NC0003671. WEV Inc. is converting itself from a Delaware corporation to a Delaware limited partnership that will be known as Williams Terminals Holdings, L.P., as allowed by Delaware general corporate law Section 266. Under Delaware law, the conversion of WEV Inc. to Williams Terminals Holdings, L.P. does not interrupt the existence of the legal "person" of WEV Inc. Rather, such legal "person" will continue to exist in Williams Terminals Holdings, L.P. upon the conversion in the same fashion that a legal entity that changes its name continues to exist as the same legal "person" under its new name. The only change at the facility will be the name of the permitee; the operations and personnel will not change. Accordingly, WEV Inc. requests that the above -referenced permit be amended to reflect the conversion of WEV Inc. to Williams Terminals Holdings, L.P. If such conversion is deemed to constitute a transfer of the above -referenced permit from WEV to Williams Terminals Holdings L.P., then such a transfer is hereby requested. As noted above, personnel will not change and therefore my signature below serves for both WEV Inc. and Williams Terminals Holdings, L.P. The effective date of transfer was February 9, 2001. Please find enclosed the completed NPDES Permit Name/Ownership Change Form. My understanding is that this form and letter fulfills the notification requirement for transferring the above -referenced permit, if required. Please call Stacy Kisler at 918/574-8022 or Steve Monn at 9181574-8420 if you need anything further.
