Comnosite 3amule
A sample collected over a 24-hour period by continuous sampling or combining grab samples of at lead 100 ml, is
such a manner as to result in a total sample representative of the wastewater discharge during the sample period. The
Director may designate the most appropriate method (specific number and size of aliquots necessary,: the time interval
between grab samples, etc.) on a case -by -case basis. Samples maybe collected manually. or automatically. Composite
samples maybe obtained by the following methods:
(1) Continuous: a single, continuous sample collected over a 24-hour period proportional to the rate of flow.
(2) Constant time/variable volume: a series of grab samples collected at equal time intervals over a 24 hour period
of discharge and combined proportional to the rate of flow measured at the time of individual sample
collection, or
(3) Variable time/constant volume: a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24 hour period with
the time intervals between samples determined by a preset number of gallons passing the sampling point. Flow
measurement between sample intervals shall be determined by use of a flow recorder and totalizer, and the
preset gallon interval between sample collection foxed at no greater than 1/24 of the expected total daily flow at
the treatment system, or
i
(4) Constant time/constant volume: a. series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24-hour period at a
constant time interval. Use of this method requires prior approval by the Director. This method may only be
used in situations where effluent flow rates vary less than 15 percent. The following restrictions also apply,;
Influent and effluent grab samples shall be of equal size and of no leas than 100 milliliters
Influent samples shall not be collected more than once per hour.

Coverage Under This Permit
This general permit covers point source discharges .of
remediated petroleum contamination (i.e., gasoline, diesel
fuel, aviation fuel, kerosene, or fuel oil) to surface waters that
discharge less than (<) 0.25 MGD. Such wastewater
discharges include:
• Groundwater remediation
• Well construction and similar wastewaters
• Other construction activities (e.g., dewatering)
Wastewater contaminated with pollutants other than
petroleum compounds (e.g., solvents, pesticides) are
excluded from this general permit, and will require an
individual NPDES permit to discharge to surface waters.
Also, proposed discharges to receiving waters classified as
ORW or HQW are excluded from general permit coverage.
NOTE: Discharge of groundwater generated by well
construction or other construction activities that are not
contaminated are deemed to be automatically permitted per
15ANCAC 2H.0106 (f) (7).
Chsn•es in Reissued General Permit
The previous General Permit expired September 30, 2016.
Several important changes from the: previous version of this
permit are:
Total Lead. Final limits for Total Lead are 3 µg/L for
freshwater and 8.1 µg/L SB/SC Class. An interim Total
Lead limit of 25 µg/L will be used for compliance
purposes until October 1, 2020. By this date, if
compliance with the new limits cannot be maintained,
the pormittee shall apply for an individual permit.
Total Hardness (as CaCO3j. For freshwater discharges, if
any effluent Total Lead sample exceeds the final limit of
3.0 µg/L, quarterly sampling for hardness shall be
immediately initiated and performed in conjunction with
Total Lead sampling.
• Toluene. The saltwater limit for aquatic life protection is
changed from 215 ug/l to 370 ug/l based on updated
EPA ECOTOX & RAIS 8/07 data.
Total Xvlenes. The saltwater limit for aquatic life of 370
µg/L is removed because IRIS, ECOTOX & RAIS 6/12
indicate limited data. A limit of 450 µg/L is added for
trout class waters based on IRIS, ECOTOX & RAIS
6/12.
Total Recoverable Phenolics. Please note the parameter
description and parameter code is changed from Total
Phenol [346694] to Total Recoverable Phenolics
[327301.
-Oil and Grease. The previously used test method for Oil
& Grease targets animal and vegetable fats, oils and
greases typical of 100% domestic discharges. Method
1664 —STG-HEM [silica gel transfer -hexane extraction
method] targets non -polar oil and grease more typical of
industrial waste discharges.
MTBE. The human health limit of 1500 µg(L is added.
Flow. For flows greater.than or equal to (>—) 0,05 MGD
and less than 0.25 MOD, monitoring is now weekly.
Flows greater then or equal to (>_) 0.25 MGD are
excluded from coverage under this General Permit.

Freauently Asked Questions
Do I need to employ a certified wastewater treatment
plant operator to manage and run the system?
Not at this time. The Division's Technical Assistance
and Certification Unit does not currently plan to classify
these types of remediation facilities for the purposes of
requiring a certified operator. The requirement remains
in the permit at this time with clarification, in the event
that classification is assigned at a future time.
Where do I find my stream classification?
The stream classification, i.e. WS-IV, C, Tr, etc. can
usually be found in the Certificate of Coverage. If you
are unsure of your stream classification, you can contact
thTWR Water Quality Permitting Section.
Does a certified lab need to be used to analyze
samples?
Yes, a North Carolina certified Iab must be used to
perform analytical monitoring. A list of certified labs is
available from the Division -
What If I Sell My Business Or The Name of My
Business Changes?
The Division views changes of name or ownership as a
minor permit modification and requires the Director's
approval. Name and ownership changes require you to
complete a Name/Ownership Change Form. The forms
are available by contacting the DWR Water Quality
Permitting Section or via the website (see Contact
Information below).
How do I apply for coverage or rescind coverage
under this General Permit?
This General Permit expires on September 30, 2021.
New applicants must submit a completed NOI and
applicable permit fees. The application forms are
available by ,contacting the DWR Water Quality
Permitting Section or via the website. (see Contact
Information below). If an existing permittee plans to
eliminate the remediation activity and no longer requires
coverage under this General Permit, the permittee will
need to request rescission of permit coverage from the
NPDES Unit by letter request.
6) Do I need to submit the monitoring results to the
Division?,.
At this time, the submission of monitoring reports for
this ,permit is not required. There are no standardized
Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMRs) associated with
this permit. Submittal of monthly Discharge Monitoring
Reports (DMRs) shall not be required except upon
demand by the Division. Part I, Section A supersedes the
requirement for submitting monthly Discharge
Monitoring Reports (DMRs) specified in Part II, Section
D (2). of this permit. Even though the submittal of the
monthly monitoring reports to the Division is suspended,
all monitoring requirements remain. The data will be
maintained on site for a period of three years. However,
as per Part 11, E.6, violations of any permit limitation
must be reported within 24 hours from the time the
permittee becomes aware of the circumstances.
