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 sampled and measured, divided by the number of daily discharges sampled 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 "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 sampled 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 I of the permit. c. The "maximum daily discharge" is the total mass (weight) of a pollutant discharged during a calendar day.

PURPOSE A gasoline release at Westside Market, Lincolnton, has resulted in a lens of free product on ground water. To quickly recover a significant portion of the released gasoline, the ground water table must be depressed by pumping to collect free product at the recovery well. Gasoline contaminated ground water will be treated and discharged to a proximate, unnamed tributary of the South Fork of the Catawba River (WS-4). CONCEPT An integrated system, pre-engineered, will be purchased from a national vendor. System will include free product recovery and water pumps in a recovery well. The water will be passed through an oil -water separator, treated in a diffuse aeration tank and passed through abosorptive, activated carbon filters before discharge. System design and maintenance will assure effectiveness. Similar systems are permitted and in successful operation across the state. Application Support Information 1.

The CES Controller can control from one to eight wells. The contaminated groundwater is recovered by a pneumatic or electric system. The air supply to the pneumatic pumps is controlled by a solenoid valve that is controlled by the CES controller alarm circuits. The electric pumps are controlled by intrinsically safe electrodes in the well. The recovered groundwater is pumped into the oil water separator. Any product is skimmed off and gravity flows to the product recovery tank. When the product tank is full an explosion proof float switch sends a signal to the CES controller which turns off the recovery pumps and turns on a high level alarm light on the controller. The water now gravity flows to the primary collection sump. This sump has three float switches that are connected to the CES controller. The lower floats control the transfer pump. There is a hand -off -auto selector switch on the CES controller for the transfer pump along with a green for on indicator light. The third float indicates high level in the sump. High level turns on a red alarm indicator on the CES controller and turns off the recovery pumps. The transfer pump pumps the contaminated water to the 10DA diffused aeration tank. A blower blows air through diffusers in the bottom of the tank. Organics in the water are removed and exit the tank with the exhaust air. Treated water from the 10DA gravity flows into the 10FGB2L collection sump. The sump contains five float switches that are connected to the CES controller. The lowest float turns the pumps off and resets the high level alarm during the backwash cycle. The second float up turns the transfer pumps off and resets the high level alarm during normal operation. The third pump starts the lead PUMP. The fourth float starts the lag pump. The fifth float puts the system into alarm. On high level alarm the CES controller will turn off the recovery pumps and turn on an alarm indicator light on the CES control panel. There are two hand -off -auto selector switches and two green for on indicator lights on the CES controller for the two 10FGB2L transfer pumps. The set of lead -lag pumps pump water through the backwash valve assembly. The valve assembly is operated by the CES controller. The controller sends a signal to the valves once a day to initiate the back -washing of the particle filters. The backwash water from the particle filters goes to the trickle filter where the particles settle out and the water is recycled back to the collection sump. Water flows from the particle filters to the dual stage carbon filters. The dual stage arrangement allows for detection of breakthrough of the first stage while not discharging any contaminants through the second stage. The water is then discharged. **See Diagram 1.

SPILL -�BIIST�R The i; • is a state -of -the art electronk cally controlled ground water recovery system designed to simplify the job of underground spill remediation. The Technology The HYDROSET- sensor utilizes an 8" long product/water interface detector (not a con- ductivity sensor!) which can accurately detect the position of the interface anywhere along its length. This sends a signal back to the elec- tronic measurement system which in turn controls a depression water flow control valve. With this technology the system can accu- rately hold the interface level just under the product intake and keep it there continuously within a fraction of an inch. The sensing unit is Teflon coated to minimize biological fouling. Performance The HYDROSETTIA system will automatically and reliably compensate for natural changes in water fluctuations and continuously recover product. The system will not pump water into the product tank or product into the water filtra- tion system. This is a common problem with float technology systems. Product skimming to .1 inches is possible. The System • An environmentally sealed electronic cabinet with user friendly control panel including elec- tronic display of water level and product thick- ness. • A light weight 3.5 pound probe with level sensing system and product pump. The probe is 1 3/4" in diameter and will fit a 2" monitoring well. No winch is required. • A calibrated flow meter which will measure depression water flow rates and totalizer gal- lonage. • A product tank probe with 2' and 1' from full indication and product pump shutdown when full. • A depression pump interface capable of con- trolling electronically powered pumps or pneu- matic diaphragm pump via an electronic sole- noid valve. Authorized Distributor • A flow control valve to accurately control wa ter level. The system is compatible with strip- CONTINENTAL MID ATLANTIC SOUTHWEST ping towers.

The VTC-5 is designed for low flow rate systems, up to 5 gpm. It is particularly economical for treatment of coolant from single machines. For treatment of central sumps, where larger flows are required, ask for AFL's larger VTC separators. Recovering tramp oil from coolant offers several benefits. It improves part quality, extends tool life, and allows extended use of the some coolant, thus saving on coolant costs. Solids filtering equipment works more effectively without tramp oil, and oil mists from metal- working operations can be practically eliminated. In operation, the VTC-5 accepts contaminated coolant into the inlet chamber. The coolant passes through a diffusion baffle which distributes the flow to the separa- tion chamber. A matrix of vertical polypropylene tubes FUNCTION: REMOVES TRAMP OILS FROM COOLANTS NO, 2-20,13.1A in the separation chamber intercepts oil globules down to 20 microns In size due to its oleophilic (oil -attracting) nature. Small oil globules attached to the tubes coalesce with other globules, Increase in size and buoyancy, then break away to rise rapidly to the liquid surface. Surfacing oil is removed by a rotary pipe skimmer while the clean coolant passes under the oil retention baffle and into the outlet chamber. The unit can reduce the tramp oil content of the coolant to less than 1 %. Corrosion resistant materials are used throughout the VTC-5. The tank is constructed of molded fiberglass and the standard piping is schedule 40 PVC. The unit comes completely assembled and ready for hook-up. A dimensional layout of the VTC-5 is shown on the reverse leaf.

Precision sizing: 5, 20, 50 gpm AFL's VTC 5, 20, and 50 remove hydrocarbons from wastewater and tramp oils from machine tool coolant. A precisely -engineered coalescing medium in the VTC enhances the gravity separating process. The coalescing material, a matrix of oieophilic (oil -attracting) tubes, intercepts oil globules of all sizes. As globules coalesce on the tubes, they increase in size and buoyancy, finally breaking away to rise through the tubes to the top. Surface oil drains by gravity into an integral rotary pipe skimmer and then flows to external storage.

VTC-20A shown Is equipped with optional effluent pump -out package Including liquid level switch In the clearwell. Supplied with' weatherproof control panel. Performance that can be expected of the VTC separator Is: (1) removal of oil globules down to 20-micrQn size. (2) reduction of oil content to 10 mg/Itr. The VTC removes even non -permanent mechanically emulsified oil. It leaves no visible sheen and traps solids too. In metalworking and simliar applications, it removes up to 99 percent of tramp oils from coolants. improved oil -separating efficiency means packaging in a smaller envelope. Completely corrosion -resistant, the separator Is molded of fiberglass and equipped with PVC piping. It comes pre-engineered, prepackaged, ready to install. The entire exterior surface of the fiberglass tank is covered with corrosion -resistant gelcoat, integrally -colored and ultra -violet resistant. Since the envelope and fittings (PVC) are corrosion -resistant, the separator can be Installed In many hostile environments. No sacrificial cathodic protection is required. Equipment and construction options are available. These include heater packages, automated sludge removal, product pump -out systems, and special resins or steel construction. 7�n1� J1 cIJQJQ nil rlclh In ralo-011 I - 4 O G _A BETTER ENVIRONMENT ASSEMBLY LIST NJQ-rE5 (1 2' 1 Inlet I.

C I 0 DIFFUSED AERATION In a diffused aeration system, air is released into the water through diffusers that produce fine bubbles. Diffusers can be made of porous material or PVC pipe with holes or slots. Mass transfer occurs across the air -water interface of the bubbles. The bubbles continue to fill with contaminants until they leave the water or are saturated. Mass transfer rates can be improved by producing smaller bubbles, Increasing the air -to -water ratio, increasing the water depth, or Increasing the contact time. CES's Diffused Aeration systems use easily replaceable, cleanable slotted PVC diffusers. The number of individual diffusers range from 10 to 48 depending on the flow rate. Water enters the system through a spray pipe which disperses the water evenly across one side of the unit. This action alone removes a measurable amount of contaminants. Air is blown Into the water through the diffusers. The diffusers are positioned to create a minimum of six zones. These zones prevent short circulting of non -treated water. An air -to -water ratio of 60 to 1 to more than 90 to 1 is used along with a contact time greater than 5 minutes. A water depth of 18" allows for good mass transfer to occur before the bubbles leave the water. Exhaust air exits the unit through a PVC fitting to be released to atmosphere, or treated depending on local air regulations. Water is discharged from the unit approximately 12" above the bottom. Removal efficiencies for BTEX are more than 95% and more than 80% for total petroleum products. The units are equipped with a Noma 4X motor starter. The blower has an explosion -proof motor. A photohelix pressure switch and gauge Is also included. It is designed to Interface with other equipment to provide both a low pressure and high pressure cut off. If the unit is to be used in a hazardous location It will be shipped without the motor starter and the photohelix gauge. The client will provide the explosion -proof motor starter.

Instruction 10012149 I' n I ii, 11 q Process Description for An Activated Carbon and Prefiltration Remediation System by CES The function of the CES Remediation system is to remove organic contaminants from groundwater to below detectable levels using proven engineering criteria. The type and concentration of contaminants and the flow rate determines the amount of activated carbon needed. As these parameters change the amount of carbon needed changes. Particulates and biological products build up and create unacceptable pressure drops across carbon vessels causing the system to flow at less than the designed flow rate. Prefiltration and proper activated carbon e>:change frequencies help eliminate this problem. FUNCTION OF THE SYSTEM COMPONENTS The initial repressurization section of the system includes a sump in which groundwater is gravity -fed from a well or pre-treatment device. The sump may be partially below grade. CES's systems are equipped with dual pumps controlled by a twin alternating pump controller. A screened foot valve at the suction inlet of the Pump prevents foreign matter from being drawn into the pump. From the sump, groundwater is pumped through the first bank of prefiltration vessels and two banks of activated carbon vessels. An automatic backwashing prefiltration assembly includes a valve assembly and controller mounted to a metal stand. Fle>cible hose connects pumps to the valve assembly. At the inlet of the valve assembly is a pressure gauge and sample port. The controller operates the valve assembly. Once or LIP to four times every 24 hours the controller sends a signal to the first set of valves. This signal opens the backwash valve and closes the inlet valve to one filtration vessel. The valves stay in this position then return to their original position. The system operates in the normal flow mode for about 30 minutes. to allow the trickle filter to drain. After this the controller sends a signal to the second set of valves and they backwash the second AG filter. This continues until all AG filters are backwashed. The backwash line is plumbed to the top of the trickle filter. The trickle filter has a slotted under drain, a layer of gravel and a layer of filter aggregate. The under drain is plumbed into the sump allowing the filtrate to flow by gravity into it and be recycled. If the sump is above ground, the trickle filter must be elevated. A stand is provided for this. The outlet of the AG filters is plumbed to the first manifold using flexible hose. The manifold has individual valves to allow isolation of individual filters. A pressure gauge and sample port is provided. Pressure drop across the AG filters should be less than 20 psi. The carbon vessels plumbed in a two -stage configuration provide proper contact time and allow for an intermediate sample port. The vessels are plumbed with flexible hose. The connections are made with cam locks and are arranged so the carbon vessels cannot be placed backwards. The outlet manifold should be plumbed to a drain vent or siphon beaker so the drum line does not draw vacuum. The carbon vessels in the first stage should be exchanged at breakthrough or six months, whichever comes first. At that time, the second stage vessels will be placed or valved to the first stage position and the fresh vessels placed in the second stage.

It was and is our intent to streamline and simplify the remediation of petroleum hydrocarbons and pesticides from groundwater. CES makes every effort to work with the unique requirements of each client. We have prepared this policy statement to clarify CES' and clients' rights and responsibilities. CES will accept the shipment of and will take responsibility for proper disposal of all drums and tanks of spent granular activated carbon provided that: . The vessel does not contain any free product or foreign material such as gravel. . The vessel and granular activated carbon originated from Continental Environmental Services. . The drum tracking number that is applied to every drum upon shipment to the client's site is visible upon shipment back to CES. . Before authorization to return is granted by CES, the client must forward EPA 601, 602, 610 or other appropriate analyses of the contaminated stream to CES, P.O. Box 5039, Gainesville, FL 32602-5039. (Or FAX at 904-373-7660) . CES will accept analyses already performed and in client's files. However, the analyses must be current, and analyses for each site is required. *The client must call for a return number. Please have ready each drum number. CES will issue a routing number and authorize the return of the spent carbon provided CES has received client's analyses for each site, and provided that the contaminated stream is a non -hazardous substance as defined in CFR 40, Part 261. This includes application of the USEPA regulatory levels for the Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP). . The spent carbon and vessel may be returned to CES only upon our authorization, and when the above conditions are met. . Unless other arrangements have been made, all freight, lift gate charges, and other expenses are the sole responsibility of the client F.O.B. is Gainesville, FL 32606. CES retains the right to refuse any spent carbon. This right includes, but is not limited to, spent carbon that is unacceptable to our reactivaor, or has not been proven to our standards to be non- hazardous. If after receiving a drum we determine the drum is not acceptable for any reason, we retain the right to return the drum freight collect CES prepares and ships is spent carbon product via D.O.T.-approved freight carriers. The product is received by a certified reactivation company. It is thermally reactivated then redistributed as reacti- vated carbon. CES' spent carbon is NEVER landfilled. CES recognizes the proper disposal of contaminated spent carbon is vital to our drinking water resources. CES provides the means for proper disposal of this contaminated substance for all clients without discrimination. Provided the above conditions are met, this program offers a safe and economical solution to the environmental hazards of improper disposal.

SIC Code(s): N/A Wastewater Code(s) of actual wastewater, not particular facilities, i.e., non -contact cooling water discharge from a metal plating company would be 14, not 56. Primary: 66 Secondary: Main Treatment Unit Code: 53108 PART III - OTHER PERTINENT INFORMATION 1. Is this facility being constructed with Construction Grant Funds or are any public monies involved (municipals only)? N/A. 2. Special monitoring or limitations (including toxicity) requests: Results of sample analyses submitted with the application package showed that Toluene, a carcinogenic compound, was high in concentration, (681 pg/l reported vs. 11 u9/1 water quality standard). The Mooresville Regional Office is not convinced that the proposed groundwater remediation method will remove all toxic pollutants from the contaminated groundwater, consequently the proposed discharge may have an adverse impact on surface waters. Thus, a monitoring require- ment for toxicity is recommended. NPDES Perna t Staff Report Versi on 10192 Page 3 3. Important SOC, JOC or Compliance Schedule dates: (please indicate) Date Submission of Plans and Specifications Begin Construction Complete Construction 4. Alternative Analysis Evaluation: Has the facility evaluated all of the non -discharge options available. Please provide regional perspective for each option evaluated. Spray Irrigation: Insufficient land area available for a spray irrigation system. Connection to Regional Sewer System: No area wide system available in the area at this time. Subsurface: Insufficient land area available for a subsurface disposal system. Other Disposal Options: No other disposal options. 5. Air Quality and/or Groundwater concerns or hazardous waste utilized at this facility that may impact water quality, air quality or groundwater? The proposed treatment facility is to remediate groundwater that has been contaminated with gasoline due to the rupture of an underground fuel storage tank. Contaminated groundwater will be recovered and treated via an activated carbon adsorption system prior to discharging to a small tributary to the South Fork Catawba River. No hazardous waste is used at the proposed facility. Air quality will not be impacted by the discharge. Due to a high concentration of Toluene (681 pg/1 ) found in the groundwater, a requirement for toxicity monitoring is recommended. 6. Other Special Items: None. PART IV - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS Certifoam Services, Inc. requests a General Permit for the disposal of treated groundwater from a proposed groundwater remediation facility at the Westside Market in Lincolnton, Lincoln County. Groundwater has been contaminated with petroleum products due to the rupture of an underground gasoline storage tank. Recovered groundwater will be treated via an oil/water separator followed by diffused aeration and activated carbon adsorption NPDES Permit Staff Report Version 10192 Page 4 processes prior to discharge to an unnamed tributary to the South Fork Catawba River. Results of groundwater sample analyses submitted with the subject request showed a high concentration of Toluene (681 pg/1). This Office is .not convinced that the proposed groundwater remediation method will remove all toxic pollutants, hence the proposed discharge may adversely impact the surface waters. Therefore, it is recommended that monitoring requirements for toxicity be included in the permit. Pending final review and concurrence by the SERG, it is recommended a General Permit with monitoring requirement for toxicity be issued to the applicant.
