1. Flow shall be monitored with each discharge event. During periods of no flow, the Permittee
shall submit a signed, monthly Discharge Monitoring Report (DMR) indicating "No discharge."
Flow may be monitored using any one of four methods:
a) measure flow continuously;
b) calculate flow [see section A. (3.) Rational Equation] based on total rainfall per
unit area draining to the outfall; exclude built -upon areas (best method for facilities
with large runoff -collection ponds);
c) estimate flow at 20-minute intervals during the entire discharge event; or
d) report flow based on discharge pump logs.
2. TSS/Oil and Grease — Where possible, the grab sample for oil and grease should be skimmed from the surface
of a quiescent (calm water) zone.
3. Turbidity — Effluent shall not cause receiving stream turbidity to exceed 50 NTU. If receiving stream
background turbidity exceeds 50 NTU, effluent shall not cause this background value to increase.
4. Permit limit applies to Outfall 009 only.
5. Permit limit applies to Ontfall 10 only.
6. Acute Toxicity (Fathead Minnow, 24-hour static test), annual samples to be collected concurrently with
Benzene, Toluene, Ethyl Benzene, and Xylene (BTEX) samples [see Special Condition A. (2.)].
Conditions
a. The Permittee shall discharge no floating solids or foam visible in other than trace amounts.
b. The Permittee shall discharge no tank solids, tank bottom water, or the rag layer.
c. Following hydrostatic testing (tank or pipe), the Permittee shall discharge no test -water without
documenting that benzene concentration do not exceed I.19 gg/L and toluene concentrations do
not exceed I I gg/L.

The rational equation is used to calculate the runoff from a region, given:
• the runoff coefficient which accounts for infiltration and other
potential losses in the region..,
• the rainfall intensity to the region,
• the time it takes for runoff to travel from the regon's upper reaches
to its outlet, and the reion's drainage area:.

Samples are collected three times per week on three separate calendar days. These samples shall be representative
of the wastewater discharged during the sample period.
Act or "the Act"
The Federal Water Pollution Control Act, also known as the Clean Water Act (CWA), as amended, 33 USC 1251, et.
seq.
Annual Average
The arithmetic mean of all "daily discharges" of a pollutant measured during the calendar year. In the case of fecal
coliform, the geometric mean of such discharges,
Arithmetic Mean
The summation of the individual values divided by the number of individual values.
Bypass
The known diversion of waste streams from any portion of a treatment facility including the collection system,
which is not a designed or established or operating mode for the facility,
Calendar Dais,
The period from midnight of one day 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.
Calendar Week
The period from Sunday through the following Saturday.
Calendar Quarter
One of the following distinct periods: January through March, April through June, July through September, and
October through December.
Composite Sample
A sample collected over a 24-hour period by continuous sampling or combining grab samples of at least 100 and in
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 may be collected manually or automatically,
Composite samples may be 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 fixed at no greater than 1/24 of the
expected total daily flow at the treatment system, or
(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

PART IV - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Colonial Pipeline Company is requesting an NPDES Permit renewal for the discharge of
treated wastewater. The wastewater is generated from a ground water remediation system and
stormwater runoff.
There are 9 discharge points at the facility that discharges to the main pond. Eight (8) of
these discharge points are from petroleum storage tank secondary containment areas and one
from the oil/water separator. Prior to March 2008, Colonial Pipeline Company use to sample the
discharge from the main pond as a representative sample for all discharges. However, since
March 2008 Colonial pipeline started sampling the effluent of every discharge point prior
reaching the pond since the pond was considered to be "water of the State".
Pending review and approval by the Western NPDES Program Unit, It is recommended
that the NPDES permit be renewed with the above condition.

SLUDGE MANAGEMENT PLAN - CHARLOTTE DELIVERY FACILITY
Colonial's treatment works for stormwater runoff at the Charlotte Delivery Facility consists of
one oil / water separator (Manifold 'Yard f utFall-MYQ) and a retention pond which acts as a
sedimentation basin and an emergency ail / water separator for the Tank Secondary Containment
Areas (TSACs) and the MYO.
The oil / water separator has been designed to capture any refined petroleum products that
maybe present in the wastewater flowing through the separator. All refined petroleum products that
accumulate in the oil / water separator are returned to Colonial's pipeline system. The ail / water
separator is equipped with high level alarms for both product and water. These alarms are tested
annually to ensure proper operation.
Sludge accumulates on the oil / water separator floor, and the sludge accumulation rate is such
that it needs to be removed, approximately once every two years. Since influent to the oil / water
separator is minimal during dry weather, cleaning can be scheduled so that flow bypassing is
unnecessary. After the oil / water separator is cleaned, the sludgeis transported to a licensed waste
disposal facility by a permitted waste transporter. An appropriate transporter and disposal facility are
selected just prior to Cleaning.
Although sediment accumulates at the bottom of the facility retention pond, it accumulates at a
rate such that the pond seldom needs to be dredged. If the retention pond is dredged in the future,
Colonial will contact the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources concerning
disposal of the dredged; material.
