"Upset" means an exceptional incident in which there is unintentional and
temporary noncompliance with technology based permit effluent limitations
because of factors beyond the reasonable control of the permittee. An upset
does not include noncompliance to the extent caused by operational error,
improperly designed treatment .facilities, inadequate treatment; facilities,
lack of preventive maintenance, or careless or improper. operation. An upset
constitutes an affirmative defense to an action brought for noncompliance
with such technology based permit limitation if the requirements of 40 CFR S
122.41(n)(3) are met.
5. Removed Substances
Solids, sludges, filter backwash, or other pollutants removed i.n the course of
treatment or control of wastewaters shall be disposed of in accordance with
NCGS 143-215.1 and in a manner such as to prevent any pollutant from such
materials from entering waters of the State or navigable waters of the United
States.
6. Power Failures
The permittee is responsible for maintaining adequate safeguards to prevent the
d:[5Cha.rgt? Of ur.tr.Pnted or insdegrsttely t:.r.ented wastes drtritrg electrical power
failures either by means of alternate power sources, standby generators or
retention of inadequately treated effluent.
SECTION C. MONITORING AND RECORDS
1. Representative Sampling
Samples collected and measurements taken, as required herein, shall be

5. Mas sL1qayPleasurements
a. The "monthly average discharge: is defined as the total mass of all
daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar month on
which daily discharges are sample and measured, divided by the number
of daily discharges samples and/or measured during such month. It is
therefore, an arithmetic mean found by adding the weights of the
pollutant found each day of the month and then dividing this sum by
the number of days the tests were reported. The .limitation is
identified as "Daily Average" or "Monthly Average" in Part I of the
permit.
b. The "weekly average discharge" is defined as the total. mass of
all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during the calendar week
(Sunday -Saturday) on. which daily discharges are sampled and measured,
divided by the number of daily discharges samples and/or measured
during such week. It is, therefore, an arithmetic mean found by
adding the weights of pollutants found each. day of the week and then
dividing this sum by the number of days the tests were reported. This
limitation is identified as "Weekly Average" in Part: T of the permit.
C. The "maximum daily discharge,." is tha total mass (weight) of a
pollutant discharged during a calf=ndsr day. If only one sample is
taken during any calendar day the weight of pollutant calculated from
it is the "maximum daily discharge." This limitation is identified as
"Daily Maximum," in Part I of the permit.
d. The "average annual discharge" is defined as the total mass of all
daily discharges sample and/or measured during; the calendar year on
which daily discharges are sampled and measured, divided by the number
of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such year. It is,
therefore, an arithmetic mean found by adding the weights of
pollutants found each day of the year and then dividing this sum by the
number of days the tests were reported. This limitation is defined as
"Annual Average" in. Part I of the permit.

Part I
Page 12 of 14
6. Concentration Measurement
a. The "average monthly concentration," other than for fecal coliform
bacteria, is the sum of the concentrations of all daily discharges
samples and/or measured during a calendar month on which daily discharges
are sampled and measured, divided by the number of daily discharges sampled
and/or measured during such month (arithmetic mean of the daily
concentration values). The daily concentration value is equal to the
concentration of a composite sample or in the case of grab samples is the
arithmetic mean (weighted by flow value) of all the samples collected
during that calendar day. The average monthly count for fecal coliform
bacteria is the geometric mean of the counts for samples collected during a
calendar month. This limitation is identified as "Monthly Average" or
"Daily Average" under "Other Limits" in Part I of the permit.
b. The "average weekly concentration," other than for fecal coliform bacteria,
is the sum of the concentrations of all daily discharges sampled and/or
measured during a calendar week (Sunday/Saturday') on which daily discharges
are sampled and measured divided by the number of daily discharges sampled
and/or measured during such week (arithmetic_ mean of the daily
concentration values). The daily concentration value is equal to the
concentration of a composite sample or in the case of grab samples is the
arithmetic mean (weighted by flow value) of all the samples collected during
that calendar day. The average weekly count for fecal coliform bacteria is
the geometric mean of the counts for samples collected during a calendar
week. This limitation is identified as "Weekly Average" cinder "Other
Limits" in Part I of the permit.
C. The "maximum daily concentration" is the concentration of a pollutant
discharge during a calendar day. It is identified as "Daily Maximum"
under "Other Limits" in Part I of the permit.
d. The "average, annual concentration," other than for fecal coliform bacteria,
is the sum of the concentrations of all daily discha.r.ges sampled and/or
measured during a calendar year on which daily discharges are sampled and
measured divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured
during such year (arithmetic mean of the daily concentration values). The
daily concentration value is equal to the concentration of a composite
sample or in the case of grab samples is the arithmetic mean (weighted by
flow value) of all the samples collected during that calendar day. The
average yearly count for fecal coliform bacteria is the geometric mean
of the counts for samples collected during a calendar year.. This limitation
is identified as "Annual Average" under "Other Limits" in Port I of the
permit.

Other Measurements
a. Flow, (MGD): The flow limit expressed in this permit is the 24 hours
average flow, averaged monthly. It is determined as the arithmetic mean
of the total daily flows recorded during the calendar month.
b. An "instantaneous flow measurement is a measure of flow taken at the time
of sampling, when both the sample and flow will be representative of the
total discharge.
Types of Samples
a. Composite Sample: These samples consist of grab samples collected at
equal intervals and combined proportional to flow, a sample continuously
collected proportionally to flow, or equal volumes taken at varying time
intervals. If a composite sample is obtained from grab samples, the
following requirements apply. The intervals between influent grab
samples shall be no greater than hourly. Intervals between effluent grab
samples shall be no greater than hourly except where the detention time
of the wastewater in the facility is greater than 24 hours, in which
case, the interval between grab samples shall be no greater in number of
hours than the detention time in number of days; provided, however, in
no case may the time between effluent grab samples be greater than six
hours nor the number of grab samples less than four during any discharge
period of 24 hours or less.
b. Grab Sample: Grab samples are individual samples collected over a
period of time not exceeding 15 minutes; the grab sample can be taken
manually.
Calculation of Means
a. Arithmetic Mean: The arithmetic mean of any set of values is the summation
of the individual values divided by the number of individual values.
b. Geometric Mean: The geometric mean of any set of values is the Nth root of
the product of the individual values where N is equal to the number of
individual values. The geometric mean is equivalent to the antilog of
the arithmetic mean of the logarithms of the individual values. For
purposes of calculating the geometric mean, values of zero (0) shall be
considered to be one (1).
C. Weighted by Flow Value: Weighted by flow value means the summation of each
concentration times its respective flow divided by the summation of the
respective flows.

10. Calendar Day
A calendar day is defined as the period from midnight of one dny until midnight
of the next day. However, for purposes of this permit, any consecutive 24-hour
period that reasonably represents the calendar day may be used for sampling.
11. Hazardous Substance
A hazardous substance means any substance designated under 40 CFR Part 116
pursuant to Section 311 of the Clean Water Act.
12. Toxic Pollutant
A toxic pollutant is any pollutant listed as toxic under Section 307(a)(1) of
the Clean Water Act.

PART III
OTHER REQUIREMENTS
A. Previous Permits
All previous State water quality permits issued to this facility, whether for
construction or operation or discharge, are hereby revoked by issuance of this
permit. The conditions, requirements, terms, and provisions of this permit
authorizing discharge under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination
System govern discharges from this facility.
B. Construction
No construction of wastewater treatment facilities or additions thereto shall
be begun until Final Plans and Specifications have been submitted to the
Division of Environmental Management and written approval and Authorization
to Construct has been issued.
C. Certified Operator
Pursuant to Chapter 90A of North Carolina General Statutes, the permittee shall
employ a certified wastewater treatment plant operator in responsible charge
of the wastewater treatment facilities. Such operator must hold a certification
of the grade equivalent to or greater than the classification assigned to the
wastewater treatment facilities.
D. -Groundwater Monitoring
The permittee shall, upon written notice from the Director of the Division of
Environmental Management, conduct groundwater monitoring as may he required
to determine the compliance of this NPDES permitted facility with the current
groundwater standards.
E. Limitations Reopene.r
This permit shall be modified or alternatively, revoked and reissued, to comply
with any applicable effluent guideline or water quality standard issued or
approved under Sections 302(b) (2) (c), and. (d), 304•(b) (,2), and 307(a) (2)
of the Clean Water Act, if the effluent guideline or water quality standard
so issued or approved:
1. contains different conditions or is otherwise more stringent than any
effluent limitation in the permit; or
2. controls any pollutant not limited in the permit.
The permit as modified or reissued under this paragraph shall also contain any
other requirements in the Act then applicable.

Permit No. NCO040142
F. Toxicity Reopener
This permit shall be modified, or revoked and reissued to
incorporate toxicity limitations and monitoring requirements in
the event toxicity testing or other studies conducted on the
effluent or receiving stream indicate that detrimental effects may
be expected in the receiving stream as a result of this discharge.
G. The daily average limitations for oil and grease stated in Part I.,
A. shall be deemed to have been exceeded if either:
a. the arithmetic average of the analyses of all representative
samples taken during a calendar month by the permittee in
accordance with the monitoring requirements set forth above
exceeds 30 mg/1, or
b. the analyses of any two representative grab samples taken by
the State at least six hours apart during any consecutive
thirty day period each individually exceeds 30.0 mg/l.
Each sample taken by either the permittee or the State shall be
presumed to be representative. However, due to the variability of
the sampling and analysis of oil and grease dis-charges from
petroleum marketing terminals, the permittee may in good faith
declare a maximum of 10% of the samples taken by it during a
calendar year, but not more than one sample taken during any
calendar month, to be non -representative. No sample may be so
excluded it if is the only sample taken by the permittee during a
calendar month. Such a declaration must be included in writing
with the next Discharge Monitoring Report submitted in accordance
with Part I., C., 2. of this permit, and must include the results
of the analysis of the excluded sample, and a written explanation
for the exclusion of that sample. If any sample is so excluded,
the "daily average" concentration shall be the arithmetic average
of the analyses of the remaining non -excluded samples.
H . The "daily maximum" limitations for oil and grease stated in Part
I., A. shall be deemed to have been exceeded if either:
a. the arithmetic average of the analyses of all representative
samples taken during a calendar month by the permittee or by
this State (a minimum of two samples taken at least six hours
apart) in accordance with the monitoring requirements set forth
above exceeds 60.0 mg/l, or
b. the analysis of a single sample (when it is the only one taken
during the day by the permittee) exceeds 60.0 mg/l.
Each sample taken by either the permittee or the State shall be
presumed to be representative. However, due to the variability of
the sampling and analysis of oil and grease discharges from
petroleum marketing terminals, the permittee may in good faith
declare a maximum of 107 of the samples taken by it during a
calendar year, but not more than one sample taken during any
calendar month, to be non -representative. No sample may be so

excluded it if is the only sample taken by the permittee during a
calendar month. Such a declaration must be included in writing
with the next Discharge Monitoring Report submitted in accordance
with Part I., C., 2. of this permit, and must include the results
of the analysis of the excluded sample, and a written explanation
for the exclusion of that sample. If any sample is so excluded,
the "daily average" concentration shall be the arithmetic average
of the analyses of the remaining non -excluded samples.
Other petroluem company officials have contended that, while the
discharges from most of their marketing and bulk terminals are
capable of meeting this "daily maximum" limitation as stated
above, certain of their facilities cannot be so equipped to meet
this limitation as stated above. If the permittee can present
sufficient evidence to demonstrate that this facility cannot be so
equipped, the State will modify this limitation to the extent
needed (in no case to exceed 100.0 mg/1) to assure reasonable
complicance with the "daily maximum" limitation.
I. It is recognized that influent quality changes, equipment
malfunction, or other circumstances may sometim-es result in
effluent concentrations exceeding the permit limitations despite
the exercise of appropriate care and maintenance measures, and
corrective measures by the permittee. The permittee may come
forward to demonstrate to the State that such circumstances exist
in any case where effluent concentrations exceed those set forth in
this permit. The State will consider such information in
determining appropriate enforcement measures, if any, to be taken.
J. A calendar day is defined as any consecutive 24 hour period.
R. The "daily maximum" concentration is defined as the arithmetic
average of one or more representative grab samples taken during any
calendar day. Should effluent sampling be done on more than one
calendar day during the month, the arithmetic average indicating
the largest "daily maximum" concentration shall be reported on the
Discharge Monitoring Report Form.
L. Collection of representative samples shall be required during
periods of discharges. Should there be no discharge during normal
working hours, the permittee shall report "no discharge" for that
reporting period.
M. The reported flow shall be the arithmetic average of the total
volume discharged on each of the sampling days during the reporting
period. Flow may be calculated utilizing a flow recorder, rain
gauge, or any other simliar device.
N. In connection with submission of records and reports required under
this permit, the permittee shall not be deemed to have waived such
privilege against self-incrimination as may be offered under or by
the Fifth Amendment of the United States' Constitution.

Dear CLYDE KLUTTZ
Our files indicate that the subject permit for a wastewater discharge to the
surface water expires on 880531. GS 143-215.1(c) requires that an application
for renewal must be filed 180 days prior to the expiration date. We have not
received an application for renewal from you as of this date.
A renewal application shall consist of a letter requesting renewal along
with the appropriate completed and signed application form referenced in
Title 15 of the North Carolina Administrative Code, Subchapter 2H, .0105.
Primary industries listed in Appendix A of Title 40 of the Code of
Federal Regulations, Part 122 (40 CFR Part 122), shall submit a priority
pollutant analysis that is performed in accordance with 40 CFR Part 122.21.
A processing fee of $100.00 and a public notice fee of $50.00 must
accompany the application. One check for $150.00 may be submitted with the
application.
This matter should be given prompt attention in that continued discharge
after the permit's expiration, without the filing of a complete and timely
application for renewal, constitutes discharge without a permit and is a
violation of GS 143-215.1(a) and the Federal Clean Water Act of 1977..
Application for renewal should be submitted to:

tributary to Irish Buffalo Creek which is classified
Class "C" waters in the Yadkin -Pee Dee River Basin.

A. (1) . EFFLUENT LIMITATIONS AND MONITORING REQUIREMEDTrS
During the period beginning on the effective date of the permit and lasting until expiration, the permittee is
authorized to discharge from outfall 001 stormwater and contaminated wastewater originating from point sources
including, but not limited to, bulk storage tank areas, product transfer areas, loading/unloading areas, etc. Such
i discharges shall be limited and monitored by the permittee as specified below:

This permit imposes no limitation on the discharge of stormaater runoff uncontaminated by any industrial or commercial
activity and not discharged through any oil -water separator or other treatment equipment or facility.
Samples taken in conpliance with the monitoring requirements specified above shall be taken at the following
locatioh(s): The nearest accessible point after final treatment but prior to actual discharge to or mixing with
the receiving waters.
E - Effluent

Toxicity Reopener
This permit shall be modified, or revoked and reissued to
incorporate toxicity limitations and monitoring requirements in
the event toxicity testing or other studies conducted on the
effluent or receiving stream indicate that detrimental effects may
be expected in the receiving stream as a result of this discharge.
The daily average limitations for oil and grease stated in Part I.,
A. shall be deemed to have been exceeded if either:
a. the arithmetic average of the analyses of all representative
samples taken during a calendar month by the permittee in
accordance with the monitoring requirements set forth above
exceeds 30 mg/l, or
b. the analyses of any two representative grab samples taken by
the State at least six hours apart during any consecutive
thirty day period each individually exceeds 30.0 mg/l.
Each sample taken by either the permittee or the State shall be
presumed to be representative. However, due to the variability of
the sampling and analysis of oil and grease discharges from
petroleum marketing terminals, the permittee may in good faith
declare a maximum of 101% of the samples taken by it during a
calendar year, but not more than one sample taken during any
calendar month, to be non -representative. No sample may be so
excluded it if is the only sample taken by the permittee during a
calendar month. Such a declaration must be included in writing
with the next Discharge Monitoring Report submitted in accordance
with Part I., C., 2. of this permit, and must include the results
of the analysis of the excluded sample, and a written explanation
for the exclusion of that sample. If any sample is so excluded,
the "daily average" concentration shall be the arithmetic average
of the analyses of the remaining non -excluded samples.
H . The "daily maximum" limitations for oil and grease stated in Part
I., A. shall be deemed to have been exceeded if either:
a. the arithmetic average of the analyses of all representative
samples taken during a calendar month by the permittee or by
this State (a minimum of two samples taken at least six hours
apart) in accordance with the monitoring requirements set forth
above exceeds 60.0 mg/l, or
b. the analysis of a single sample (when it is the only one taken
during the day by the permittee) exceeds 60.0 mg/l.
Each sample taken by either the permittee or the State shall be
presumed to be representative. However, due to the variability of
the sampling and analysis of oil and grease discharges from
petroleum marketing terminals, the permittee may in good faith
declare a maximum of 10% of the samples taken by it during a
calendar year, but not more than one sample taken during any
calendar month, to be non -representative. No sample may be so

en ar mon
with the next Discharge Monitoring Report submitted in accordance
with Part I., C., 2. of this permit, and must include the results
of the analysis of the excluded sample, and a written explanation
for the exclusion of that sample. If any sample is so excluded,
the "daily average concentration shall be the arithmetic average
of the analyses of the remaining non -excluded samples.
Other petroluem company officials have contended that, while the
discharges from most of their marketing and bulk terminals are
capable of meeting this "daily maximum" limitation as stated
above, certain of their facilities cannot be so equipped to meet
this limitation as stated above. If the permittee can present
sufficient evidence to demonstrate that this facility cannot be so
equipped, the State will modify this limitation to the extent
needed (in no case to exceed 100.0 mg/1) to assure reasonable
complicance with the "daily maximum" limitation.
I. It is recognized that influent quality changes, equipment
malfunction, or other circumstances may sometimes result in
effluent concentrations exceeding the permit limitations despite
the exercise of appropriate care and maintenance measures, and
corrective measures by the permittee. The permittee may come
forward to demonstrate to the State that such circumstances exist
in any case where effluent concentrations exceed those set forth in
this permit. The State will consider such information in
determining appropriate enforcement measures, if any, to be taken.
J. A calendar day is defined as any consecutive 24 hour period.
K. The "daily maximum" concentration is defined as the arithmetic
average of one or more representative grab samples taken during any
calendar day. Should effluent sampling be done on more than one
calendar day during the month, the arithmetic average indicating
the largest "daily maximum" concentration shall be reported on the
Discharge Monitoring Report Form.
L. Collection of representative samples shall be required during
periods of discharges. Should there be no discharge during normal
working hours, the permittee shall report "no discharge" for that
reporting period.
M. The reported flow shall be the arithmetic average of the total
volume discharged on each of the sampling days during the reporting
period. Flow may be calculated utilizing a flow recorder, rain
gauge, or any other simliar device.
N. In connection with submission of records and reports required under
this permit, the permittee shall not be deemed to have waived such
privilege against self-incrimination as may be offered under or by
the Fifth Amendment of the United States' Constitution.

Dear Mr. Propst:
Our records indicate that NPDES Permit No. NC 0040142 was
issued on May 2, 1988 for the discharge of wastewater to the
surface waters of the State from your facility. The purpose of
this letter is to advise you of the importance of the Permit and
the liabilities in the event of failure to comply with the terms
and conditions of the Permit. If you have not already done so,
it is suggested that you thoroughly read the Permit. Of
particular importance is Page I3.
Page I3 sets forth the effluent limitations and monitoring
requirements for your discharge. Your discharge must not exceed
any of the limitations set forth. The section headed "Monitoring
Requirements" describes the measurement frequencies, sample types
and sampling locations. Upon commencement of your discharge (or
operation), you must initiate the required monitoring. The
monitoring results must be entered on the DMR forms furnished to
you by this Agency. If you have not received these forms, they
should be arriving shortly. If you fail to receive the form,
please contact this Office as quickly as possible. I have
enclosed a sample of the "Effluent" reporting form (DEM Form
MR-1), plus instructions for completing the form. It is
imperative that all applicable parts be completed, otherwise the
forms may be returned to you as incomplete. Failure to properly
complete the forms may also result in an automatic $300.00 fine.
The remaining Parts of the Permit (Parts II and III) set
forth definitions, general conditions and special conditions
applicable to the operation of wastewater treatment facilities
and/or discharge(s). The conditions include special reporting

requirements in the event of noncompliance, bypasses, treatment
unit/process failures, etc. Also addressed are requirements for
a certified wastewater treatment plant operator if you are
operating wastewater treatment facilities. Any changes in
operation of wastewater treatment facilities, quantity and type
of wastewater being treated or discharged, expansions and/or
upgrading of wastewater treatment facilities must be permitted or
approved by this Agency.
Failure to comply with the terms and conditions of an NPDES
Permit subjects the Permittee to enforcement action pursuant to
Section 143-215.6 of the North Carolina General Statutes. A
civil penalty of up to $10,000 per day per violation plus
criminal penalties may be assessed for such violations.
As a final note, an NPDES Permit is normally issued for a
five-year period. Permits are not automatically renewed.
Renewal requests must be submitted to this Agency no later than
180 days prior to expiration. Please make note of the expiration
date of your Permit. This date is set forth on Page M-1 or I-1
of the Permit. Also note that NPDES Permits are not
transferable. If you, as the Permittee, cease to need this
Permit, then you should request that the Permit be rescinded.
As mentioned previously, the purpose of this letter is to
advise you of the importance of your NPDES Permit. Please read
the Permit and contact this Office at 704/663-1699 in Mooresville
if you have any questions or need clarification. We look forward
to providing any assistance.

Permit No. NC'Jo40142
No sample may be so excluded if it is the only sample taken by the
permittee during a calendar month. Such a declaration must be included
in writing with the next Discharge Monitoring Report submitted in
accordance with Part I., C., 2. of this permit, and must include the
results of the analysis of the excluded sample, and a t-.ritten
explanation for the exclusion of that sample. If any sample is so
excluded, the "daily average" concentration shall be the arithmetic
average of the analyses of the remaining non -excluded samples.
2. The "daily maximum" limitation for oil and grease stated in Part I.,
A. shall be deemed to have been exceeded if either:
a. The arithmetic average of the analyses of all repre§entative
samples taken during a calendar day by the permittee or by
this State (a minimum of two samples taken at least six hours
apart) in accordance with the monitoring requirements set forth
above exceeds 60 mg/l; or
b. The analysis of a single sample (when it is the only one taken
during the day by the permittee) exceeds 60 mg/l.
Each sample taken by either the permittee or the State shall be presumed
to be representative. However, due to the variability of the sampling
and analysis of oil and grease discharged from petroleum marketing
terminals, the permittee may in good faith declare a maximum of 10%
of the samples taken by it during a calendar year, but not more than
one sample taken during any calendar month, to be non -representative.
No sample may be so excluded if it is the only sample taken by the
permittee during a calendar month. Such a declaration must be included
in writing with the next Discharge Monitoring Report submitted in
accordance with Part I., C., 2. of this permit, and must include the
results of the analysis of the excluded sample, and a written explan-
ation for the exclusion of that sample. If any sample is so excluded,
the "daily maximum" concentration shall be the arithmetic average of
the analyses of the remaining non -excluded samples.
Other Petroleum company officials have contended that, while the
discharges from most of their marketing and bulk terminals are capable
of meeting this "daily maximum" limitations as stated above, certain
of their facilities cannot be so equipped to meet this limitation
as stated above. If the permittee can present sufficient evidence to
demonstrate that this facility cannot be so equipped, the State will
modify this limitation to the extent needed (in no case to exceed
100 mg/1) to assure reasonable compliance with the "daily maximum"
limitation.

Permit No. NC004o142
3. It is recognized that influent quality changes, equipment malfunction,
or other circumstances may sometimes result in effluent concentrations
exceeding the permit limitations despite the exercise of appropriate
care and maintenance measures, and corrective measures by the permittee.
The permittee may come forward to demonstrate to the State that such
circumstances exist in any case where effluent concentrations exceed
those set forth in this permit. The State will consider such
information in determining appropriate enforcement measures, if any,
to be taken.
4. A calendar day is defined as any consecutive 24-hour period.
5. The "daily maximum" concentration is defined as the arithmetic average
of one or more representative grab samples taken during any calendar
day. Should effluent sampling be done on more than one calendar day
during the month, the arithmetic average indicating the largest "daily
maximum" concentrations shall be reported on the N. C. Discharge
Monitoring Report Form.
6. Collection of representative samples shall be required during periods
of discharges. Should there be no discharge during normal working
hours, the Permittee shall report "No Discharge" for that reporting
period.
7. The reported flow shall be the arithmetic average of the total volume
discharged on each of the sampling days during the reporting period.
Flow may be calculated utilizing a flow recorder, rain gauge, or any
other similar device.
8. In connection with submission of records and reports required under
this permit, the Permittee shall not be deemed to have waived such
privilege against self-incrimination as may be offered under or by
the Fifth Amendment of the United StatEsConstitution.

Plans and Specifications has been made by the DEM after 30 days following
receipt of the plans or issuance of this permit, whichever is latter, the
plans may be considered approved and construction authorized.
D. Certified Operator NOT APPLICABLE
Pursuant to Chapter 90A of North Carolina General Statutes, the permittee
shall employ a certified wastewater treatment plant operator in responsible
charge of the wastewater treatment facilities. Such operator must hold a
certification of the grade equivalent to the classification assigned to
the wastewater treatment facilities.
E. Other Requirements
1. The "daily average" limitations for oil and grease stated in Part I.,
A. above, shall be deemed to have been exceeded if either:
a. The arithmetic average of the analyses of all representative
samples taken during a calendar month by the permittee in
accordance with the monitoring requirements set forth above
exceeds 30 mg/l; or
b. The analyses of any two representative grab samples taken by
the State at least six (6) hours apart during any consecutive
thirty (30) day periods each individually exceed 30 mg/l.
Each sample taken by either the permittee or the State shall be
presumed to be representative. However, due to the variability of
the sampling and analysis of oil and grease discharge from petroleum
marketing terminals, the permittee may in good faith declare a maximum
of 100' of the samples taken by it during a calendar year, but not
more than one sample taken during any calendar month, to be non-
representative.
M I 9 T 19

Permit No. NC0040142
No sample may be so excluded if it is the only sample taken by the
permittee during a calendar month. Such a declaration must be included
in writing with the next Discharge Monitoring Report submitted in
accordance with Part I., C., 2. of this permit, and must include the
results of the analysis of the excluded sample, and a written
explanation for the exclusion of that sample. If any sample is so
excluded, the "daily average" concentration shall be the arithmetic
average of the analyses of the remaining non -excluded samples.
2. The "daily maximum" limitation for oil and grease stated in Part I.,
A. shall be deemed to have been exceeded if either:
a. The arithmetic average of the analyses of all repre§entative
samples taken during a calendar day by the permittee or by
this State (a minimum of two samples taken at least six hours
apart) in accordance with the monitoring requirements set forth
above exceeds 60 mg/l; or
b. The analysis of a single sample (when it is the only one taken
during the day by the permittee) exceeds 60 mg/l.
Each sample taken by either the permittee or the State shall be presumed
to be representative. However, due to the variability of the sampling
and analysis of oil and grease discharged from petroleum marketing
terminals, the permittee may in good faith declare a maximum of 10%
of the samples taken by it during a calendar year, but not more than
one sample taken during any calendar month, to be non -representative.
No sample may be so excluded if it is the only sample taken by the
permittee during a calendar month. Such a declaration must be included
in writing with the next Discharge Monitoring Report submitted in
accordance with Part I., C., 2. of this permit, and must include the
results of the analysis of the excluded sample, and a written explan-
ation for the exclusion of that sample. If any sample is so excluded,
the "daily maximum" concentration shall be the arithmetic average of
the analyses of the remaining non -excluded samples.
Other Petroleum company officials have contended that, while the
discharges from most of their marketing and bulk terminals are capable
of meeting this "daily maximum" limitations as stated above, certain
of their facilities cannot be so equipped to meet this limitation
as stated above. If the permittee can present sufficient evidence to
demonstrate that this facility cannot be so equipped, the State will
modify this limitation to the extent needed (in no case to exceed
100 mg/1) to assure reasonable compliance with the "daily maximum"
limitation.

Permit No. NC0040142
3. It is recognized that influent quality changes. equipment malfunction,
or other circumstances may sometimes result in effluent concentrations
exceeding the permit limitations despite the exercise of appropriate
care and maintenance measures, and corrective measures by the permittee.
The permittee may come forward to demonstrate to the State that such
circumstances exist in any case where effluent concentrations exceed
those set forth in this permit. The State will consider such
information in determining appropriate enforcement measures, if any,
to be taken.
4. A calendar day is defined as any consecutive 24-hour period.
5. The "daily maximum" concentration is defined as the arithmetic average
of one or more representative grab samples taken during any calendar
day. Should effluent sampling be done on more than one calendar day
during the month, the arithmetic average indicating the largest "daily
maximum" concentrations shall be reported on the N. C. Discharge
Monitoring Report Form.
6. Collection of representative samples shall be required during periods
of discharges. Should there be no discharge during normal working
hours, the Permittee shall report "No Discharge" for that reporting
period.
7. The reported flow shall be the arithmetic average of the total volume
discharged on each of the sampling days during the reporting period.
Flow may be calculated utilizing a flow recorder, rain gauge, or any
other similar device.
8. In connection with submission of records and reports required under
this permit, the Permittee shall not be deemed to have waived such
privilege against self-incrimination as may be offered under or by
the Fifth Amendment of the United StatesConstitution.
