Joe's Permitting LOG:
89702 Terwilliger Pappas - Solis Brightleaf; GW-REM [multiple contaminate
contributors include heating -oil UST release, Howerton Bryan Funeral Home, and
dry-cleaner wastes] - Chlorinated Solvents, metals, chloride and TSS are present in
groundwater. note: ammonia present in wastewater. [See 27Mar2018 - "new data"
— return of APP]
04Jan2018 -- Joe received assignment from John Hennessy (priority: urgent, mis-assigned since
last summer, APP received 01Jun2017).
05Jan2018 -- reviewed file; applicant proposes to develop several parcels into a 1.45-acre
apartment complex w/subterranean parking; excavation dewatering proposes to discharge to
stormdrain under zero -flow receiving -stream conditions (7Q10/30Q2 = 0.0 cfs); Design flow: 3
discharges per day, each 30-minute @ 300gpm = 27000 gpd, 7 days/week [treated via bag filter
and two (2) activated liquid -phase carbon canisters]. Proposed two -deck parking structure will
require permanent dewatering facility in building subgrade - recommend phased permit to
accommodate.
22Jan2018 -- completed DRAFT docs; consulted w/ John Hennessy about sampling frequency;
23Jan2017 -- updated Public Notice System; entered effluent parameters in BIMS (half);
emailed draft docs to list; submitted draft to Wren for Public Notice on 24Jan2018; final due to
John Hennessy on 07Mar2018.
06Feb2018 -- Dan Neil (Mid -Atlantic Consultants) called to ask about responding to the draft;
limits and monitoring petition; has more analytical data (untreated); will email comments, data
attached. construction in progress; will install permanent system (after pluming and power)
under a stairwell. Currently discharging under permit to City of Durham. Agreed on flow limit
of 1,500 gpd.
06Feb2018 -- received Affidavit of Publication on 30Jan2018.
23Feb2018 -- received (email) Permittee's written comments on DRAFT permit; copied RRO
(Danny Smith / Vanessa Manual).
27Mar2018 -- discussed new data w/ Terresa Rodriguez (NPDES) noting significant oxygen -
consuming wastes not previously reported. This renders the discharge "new" as defined
"forbidden" under existing rule. Joe drafted a denial letter, to be discussed w/ John.
30Mar2018 -- drafted "Return of Application" letter; discussed w/ John. John said 02 -wastes
under zero -flow Rule may be reason for calculating limits/applying standard, but may not be
sufficient reason to deny the permit (Directors decision). John to discuss w/ Jeff. Joe to leave
the file on John's desk for further review; done.
12Apr2018 -- John returned letter w/ minor edits; all agree that the proposed discharge is
"disallowed" by Rule. joe to finalize for signature;

13Apr2017 -- submitted fmal Return of APP letter to John, dated 13Apr2018
18May2018 -- Consultant emailed called to say ammonia is likely an additive to the tons of
foundation concrete; ask if they could treat 02-consuming before discharge. Joe to discuss with
the Team.
08Jun2018 -- Joe met w/ John and Sergei to discuss options; Sergei noted BOD @ 7 mg/L early
in the pump-n-treat process suggesting that ammonia may come from brownfields activities - not
just concrete. We concluded that DWR should consult the Legal team about the Rule; consider
any possible Director's discretion long term. In the meantime, pump-n-treat should continue.
Joe called Drew Hargrove (DWR Council) and left message.
19Jun2018 -- Tyrone Gerald Battle (@WWTP) [[e-mail]] called to say the
applicant has applied to extend their pump-n-haul permit for 2 more years. we discussed the
surface discharge scenario. Joe drafted an email back; submitted copy to John Hennessy for
review before sending.
26Jun2018 -- Tyrone Battle (DWWTP) told Dan Nielson (consultant) this morning that Durham
will extend the temporary permit for discharge into the POTW. He said he would deliver the
modified permit either Thursday or next Monday [02Ju12018]. Nielson would like DWR to
schedule a sit-down for all concerned to discuss moving forward.
29Jun2018 -- meeting at the Archdale: John to discuss issuance with Jeff, internal appointment
pending; Tyrone Battle (DWWTP) will extend the temp discharge permit for two (2) years to
allow applicant to establish treatment system and report effluent database RE 02-consuming
wastes.
06Ju12018 -- joe generated draft email suggesting a sampling plan over July, August, and
September (minimum 12 samples for BOD, TKN and Ammonia); Joe submitted draft to john for
review before emailing. Joe and John met with Jeff to discuss proposed plan - all agree. Sent
email. Permittee agrees.
240ct2018 -- received sampling test results from Permittee for July, August, and September.
260ct2018 -- set Calendar date w/ John Hennessy to review data, 310ct / 09:30 / Joe's office.
310ct2018 -- John concurred that new effluent data substantiates effluent compliance with the
permit; Joe to imitate permit final;
06Nov2018 -- generated final docs and Fact sheet Addendum to include plan and results; Dan
Nielson emailed asking for "progress."
08Nov2018 -- updated BIMS Events and Limits; submitted file to John Hennessy for signature,
letter dated 09Nov2018.
John returned file signed; scanned final w/ signatures; emailed permit to consultant Dan Nielsen
(Mid Atlantic); Joe submitted file to Charles weaver for issuance.
--DONE.

Subject: Permanent Groundwater Dewatering System
Hey Ms. Susie — sending you a tox page with modified language — Left you a phone message.
I'll call you again to discuss.
This is a TGE6C with language modified temporarily to monitor "Monthly" for a groundwater
remediation start-up period. This is similar to the draft permit sent to Public Notice. Eventually
after sufficient data, we will modify to "Quarterly." However, the Permittee has hard
"occupancy" deadlines and is anxious not to accommodate another permitting delay.
If I were to relax monitoring to "Quarterly" now, it would be "less stringent" than the draft,
requiring another Public Notice period. Hope the attached works for you.

More later. Thanks.

Joe, we spoke on the phone the week before last and you said you had to check with others for the answer. I called
last week and left a message but have not heard back. So I am asking once again:
Is it accurate to say that if we can treat to eliminate BOD we can discharge?

Can you answer the question asked last week: Is it accurate to say that if we can treat to eliminate BOD we can
discharge?
Thanks,

Joe,
This denial has obviously caused a stir. We are trying to sort through the source of the ammonia which we believe to be
the root cause of the BOD. The BOD arrived about the same time as the approach for dewatering changed from
dewatering wells to the permanent drainage system located under the building being constructed. It also coincides with
the placement of tons of concrete. We have looked into the additives to the concrete and it appears that they could be
the source. One of the comments in the SDS states that the additive has a faint `ammonia like odor'.
We continue to monitor groundwater quality to try and gauge if this is a transient condition or a permanent one.
If it turns out to be a permanent condition we will need to treat the water to remove the ammonia and eliminate the
BOD. Is it accurate to say that if we can treat to eliminate BOD we can discharge?

Subject: Return of Application for NPDES Permit NC0089702
Proposed Solis Brightleaf Apartments - Brownfields
Groundwater Excavation Dewatering — Class PC-1
1001 West Main Street, Durham
Durham County
The Division understands from your application that you propose to develop several contiguous real
estate parcels into a 1.45-acre apartment complex with subterranean parking. You intend that construction
excavation dewatering, and a permanent drain system for parking will discharge to a local stormsewer
under zero -flow receiving -stream conditions (7Q10 and 30Q2 = 0.0 cfs), the final receiving -stream
classified water -supply WS-IV, NSW.
Your written comments on the permit draft (submitted by your consultant, Mid -Atlantic, Inc., February
23, 2018) included new effluent data, presented as supplement to your application. These new data show
a contribution to the waste -stream of oxygen -consuming wastes (BODs, TKN and Ammonia) not
previously presented. We note concentrations significantly exceeding water -quality standards,
specifically in samples POTW-5 and POTW-6 (your Attachment, Table 3).
Please note that 15A NCAC 02B .0206 (d) (2) states:
• "If the 30Q2 and 7Q10 flows are both estimated to be zero, no new or expanded
(additional) discharge of oxygen consuming waste will be allowed. Requirements for
existing discharges to streams where the 30Q2 and 7Q10 flows are both estimated to be
zero will be determined on a case -by -case basis."
As your proposed discharge is a new discharge of oxygen -consuming wastes, your proposal is disallowed
by Rule. We regret not understanding the full effluent chemistry prior to submitting a permit draft. If you
have questions, please email Joe R. Corporon, L.G. at (ioe.corporonLincdenr.g_ov] or call his direct line

On behalf of Terwilliger Pappas Multi -Family Partners (TPMFP), Mid -Atlantic Associates, Inc.
(Mid -Atlantic) appreciates the opportunity to submit the following comments and information in
response to the public comment period for NPDES Permit Number NC0089702.
The NPDES permit is intended for the long term discharge of groundwater from beneath a
subgrade parking structure situated at the base of an apartment building currently under
construction (dewatering). The site is a Brownfield Site (20071-16-032) due to releases from an
on -site fuel oil underground storage tank and the presence of chlorinated solvents in
groundwater from an unknown and likely off -site source. Historical research suggests that the
only contaminants of concern resulting from human activities are organic compounds
associated with virgin petroleum fuel and chlorinated solvents.
In order to accommodate an aggressive construction schedule, TPMFP negotiated with the City
of Durham to accept the groundwater discharge into their POTW system on a temporary basis
(Permit #4003). Discharge into the Durham POTW system started in July 2017. As a condition
of permit #4003, monthly groundwater quality data has been collected. Aside from particulate
filtering with a bag filter, the discharge to the Durham POTW is otherwise untreated. This data,
which was not available when the NPDES Permit Application was submitted to NCDEQ in June
2017, provides a better understanding of the groundwater flow rates and quality we anticipate
as the inflow to the treatment system.
As indicated in the application, we anticipated a maximum daily flow of 600 gpd. The draft
NPDES permit sets a 50 gpd limit. This daily flow limit is too low for this site. By comparison. the
daily discharge volume limit under Durham permit #4003 is 1,500 gpd. Table 1 (attached) is a
summary of the water volumes and rates discharged to the POTW since June 2017. As
indicated in this table, the average daily discharge has been approximately 340 gallons. Since

the discharge rate could fluctuate significantly from dry to wet weather periods, we request that
the discharge rate in the NPDES permit be revised to 1,500 gpd.
Water quality data has also been collected on a monthly basis in accordance with Durham
permit #4003 and these data are summarized in Tables 2 and 3 (attached). Many of the
compounds tested for the Durham permit #4003 are listed in the draft NPDES permit. We
request that NCDEQ consider this more representative data in determining final sampling
requirements, including frequency. Review of these data suggest a stable water quality influent
stream. These data do not suggest that water quality influent to the treatment system is going to
fluctuate significantly. Thus, upsets in the discharge water quality are unlikely to occur. While we
understand that more frequent sampling may be necessary at initial startup, weekly sampling
after the first month of system operation appears unnecessary. We suggest that after the first
month of operation, the four effluent characteristics currently scheduled for weekly sampling,
assuming exceedances are not recorded during the initial month of operation, change to a
monthly frequency. We also request that the adjustments to the monitoring frequency discussed
in footnote 3 be applicable to all effluent characteristics being monitored. Given the low daily
discharge rate and the low levels of contaminants in the influent stream, we feel the suggested
changes are protective to the environment while also being fiscally responsible.
We appreciate this opportunity to submit these comments on behalf of Terwilliger Pappas Multi -
Family Partners. If you have any questions concerning our comments, please do not hesitate to
call us at 919-250-9918. We look forward to receiving your response to our proposed changes to
the draft NPDES permit.

Project Summary - The Applicant proposes [via consultant Mid -Atlantic Engineering and
Environmental Solutions] to develop several contiguous real estate parcels into a 1.45-acre apartment
complex with subterranean parking. Proposed excavation dewatering will discharge to a local stormdrain
under zero -flow receiving -stream conditions (7Q10/30Q2 = 0.0 cfs). The Division concurs that this
discharge alternative is the most viable based on feasibility and cost, as outlined in your Engineers
Alternatives Analysis (EAA) included with your application.
The Applicant proposes to install a French -drain dewatering system to service the entire site. This gravity
drain is an unlined gravel trench to a depth of 2 feet, fitted at its bottom with a perforated 2-inch-diameter
PVC drainpipe [see application, Figure C5.10]. Because this trench and pipe are open to the environment, it
will gather groundwater, but to a depth of two -feet only.
The proposed skid -mounted wastewater -treatment system is portable. The Applicant intends to dewater by
pumping the French drain closest to a given excavation. If preconstruction requires excavating deeper than
two (2) feet, DWR assumes the Permittee will dewater directly from the excavation, as needed.
Discharge Conditions - A wastewater treatment system shall suffice to meet surface water quality
(SWQ) stream standards. Wastewater design flow proposes to discharge 7 days/week, three (3) discharges
per day, each for —30 minutes @ 0.55 gpm = 49.5 gpd [0.00005 MGD]. The proposed treatment system
employs a bag filter, ion -exchange unit(s) [for metals removal] and two (2) each activated liquid -phase
carbon canisters (see PRM's schematic P&ID-2). All treated effluent will be routed to Durham County's
Storm -Sewer System, via Outfall 001 (see Mid -Atlantic's Drawing No. 1); treated wastes to be conveyed by
stormdrain to a UT to Ellerbe Creek (see City of Durham approval letter dated April 13, 2017).
The Division understands that construction includes a proposed two -deck parking structure that will require
permanent dewatering facilities below the natural water table. Prior to installing permanent dewatering
Page 1 of 2

facilities, the Applicant must submit an updated treatment -system design with plans and specifications, and
apply to modify this permit as needed (see Supplement to Permit Cover Sheet).
Parameters of Concern (POCs) - Because site -assessment analyses detected the present of
chlorinated solvents, this site does not qualify for General Permit NCG510000. Parameters of Concern
include a list of volatile and semi -volatile organic compounds, metals and other POCs identified during site
assessment [see application Tables 1, 2, 3.1 and 3.3]. POCs include metals and compounds detected at
concentrations exceeding their respective surface -water quality (SWQ) standards. Parameters exceeding
their standard are permit -limited equal to the standard [as required under zero -flow receiving -stream
conditions]. Others are included as "monitoring only" or limited in accord with applicable permitting
strategies and secondary -treatment technologies [see permit section A. (1.)].
Because there are no effluent data to date, the permit provides the Permittee an option, after establishing a
reasonable database, to petition the DWR to reconsider a given parameter's limits and/or monitoring
frequency, as data may warrant [see permit section A. (1.), Footnotes].
RPA - Reasonable Potential Analysis (RPA) - RPA was not conducted because there are no data to date
other than analyses of untreated samples collected for initial site assessment.
WET Testing - Whole Effluent Toxicity (WET) - Acute, 24-hour Pass/Fail (Monthly) is
required using sp- - Pimephales promelas [TGE3E]. WET test samples shall be collected
concurrently o er samples to aid in diagnosing WET -Test failure, if any.

Subject: RE: Solis Brightleaf Apartments, Groundwater Excavation Dewatering - Temporary
Discharge Permit / Application for NPDES Permit NC0089702
Mr. Battle — Limits depend on receiving -stream dilution - they currently have none [zero -flow conditions]; a
"new" discharge permit is forbidden by Rule unless they move their outfall.
We may calculate limits only if they relocate to a positive streamflow [positive 30Q2]. The discharge flow vs.
stream flow is known in permitting as the instream waste concentration (IWC), expressed as a
percentage. With no dilution, their IWC =100%; Ammonia alone would likely begin with limits of 1.0 mg/L
[summer] and 1.8 mg/L [winter] if allowed.
In the subject case, DWR may not consider limits for a "new" discharge.
Oxygen -consuming wastes remain their current problem.

Subject: Solis Brightleaf Apartments, Groundwater Excavation Dewatering - Temporary Discharge Permit / Application
for NPDES Permit NC0089702
Mr. Battle - thanks for your call and email about the subject site. I did receive updated analytical effluent
reports from the applicant; no need to forward.
We understand that analyses to date represent untreated effluent [treatment system not yet installed], and there
is some reason to suspect a BOD/TKN/ammonia contribution from the delivery system itself, downstream of
the pumping wells. My permitting concerns about 02-consuming wastes center around a dilemma:
1. are these contaminates temporary, and will they dissipate to acceptable levels over a reasonable time
period? Or,
2. are they related to unassessed site conditions predating the current construction.
If your organization might extend their temporary sewer -connection, I feel our dilemma may resolve. Under
existing Rule, a DWR permit for a new discharge would be considered only if they relocate their outfall to a
positive 30Q2 receiving -stream flow [15A NCAC 02B .0206 (d) (1)]. We understand relocating would require
considerable expense related to private right-of-way permissions and costs to extend a discharge line, if
permissions were granted.
If Durham County might extend their temporary permit [estimated flow —1,000 gpd], I feel our concerns may
resolve over time, hopefully to move forward with DWR's permitting process. I also feel a two-year extension
is prudent to establish an analytical database documenting that 02-consuiming wastes have disipated to
acceptable levels. I leave this to your better judgement. Please advise.
Respectfully,
Joe R. Corporon, L. G.
