Permit NC0032891
Footnotes for A. (1.) / A. (2.)
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 the following four methods:
a) measure flow continuously;
b) calculate flow (see Rational equation below) 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."
The Rational Equation: Q=KuC1A, where:
Q = flow (peak flow rate (cfs or m3/sec)
Ku = units conversation factor = 1.008 for U.S. standard units (usually ignored because
it is so close to 1), or 0.278 for SI units
C = dimensionless runoff coefficient for the watershed, loosely defined as the ratio of
runoff to rainfall
I = intensity of rainfall taken from the intensity -duration -frequency curves for the
specified design return period at the time of concentration, tc (in/h or mm/h). tc =
time of concentration (time after the beginning of rainfall excess when all portions
of the drainage basin are contributing simultaneously to flow at the outlet).
A = area of tributary watershed (acres or km2)
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 region's upper reaches to its
outlet, and
• the region's drainage area.
2. 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. Concurrent Sample — The Permittee shall sample this parameter concurrently with Acute Toxicity.
5. Acute Toxicity Outfall 001 (Fathead Minnow, 24-hour), Annual [see Special Condition A. (3.)].
6. Acute Toxicity ©utfall 002 (Fathead Minnow, 24-hour), Quarterly [see Special Condition A. (4.)].
Additional Requirements
• There shall be no discharge of floating solids or foam visible in other than trace amounts.
• There shall be no direct discharge of tank solids, tank bottom water, or the rag layer.
• There shall be no direct discharge of tank (or pipe) contents following hydrostatic testing unless
benzene concentration is less than 1.19 µg/L and toluene concentration is less than 11 µg/L.

Permit NC0032891
A. (3.) ACUTE TOXICITY M©NIT©RING (Annually) - OUTFALL 001
The Permittee shall conduct annual toxicity tests using protocols defined as definitive in EPA Document
EPA/600/4-90/027 entitled "Methods for Measuring the Acute Toxicity of Effluents to Freshwater and
Marine Organisms." The monitoring shall be performed as a Fathead Minnow (Pimephales promelas)
24-hour static test. Effluent samples for self -monitoring purposes must be obtained below all waste
treatment. The pen,iittee will conduct one test annually, with the annual period beginning in January of
the calendar year of the effective date of the permit. The annual test requirement must be performed and
reported by June 30. If no discharge occurs by June 3Q, notification will be made to the Division by this
date. Toxicity testing will be performed on the next discharge event for the annual test requirement.
The parameter code for this test is TAE6C. All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit
condition will be entered on the Effluent Discharge Form (MR-1) for the month in which it was
perfoinied, using the appropriate parameter code. Additionally, DWQ Foini AT-1 (original) is to be sent
to the following address:
Attention: North Carolina Division of Water Quality
Environmental Sciences Section
1621 Mail Service Center

Completed Aquatic Toxicity Test Forms shall be filed with the Environmental Sciences Section no later
than 30 days after the end of the reporting period for which the report is rnade.
Test data shall be complete and accurate and include all supporting chemical/physical measurements
performed in association with the toxicity tests, as well as all dose/response data. Total residual chlorine
of the effluent toxicity sample must be measured and reported if chlorine is employed for disinfection of
the waste stream.
Should any test data from either these monitoring requirements or tests performed by the North Carolina
Division of Water Quality indicate potential impacts to the receiving stream, this permit may be re-
opened and modified to include alternate monitoring requirements or limits.
NOTE: Failure to achieve test conditions as specified in the cited document, such as minimum control
organism survival and appropriate environmental controls, shall constitute an invalid test and will
require immediate follow-up testing to be completed no later than the last day of the month following the
month of the initial monitoring.

A. (4.) ACUTE TOXICITY MONITORING (Quarterly) — OUTFALL 002
The Permittee shall conduct quarterly acute toxicity tests using protocols defined as definitive in E.P.A.
Document EPA/600/4-90/027 entitled "Methods for Measuring the Acute Toxicity of Effluents to
Freshwater and Marine Organisms." The monitoring shall be performed as a Fathead Minnow
(Pimephales promelas) 24 hour static test. Effluent samples for self -monitoring purposes must be
obtained below all waste treatment. The tests will be performed on a discharge event during each
quarter (January -March, April -June, July -September, October -December).
Should there be no discharge of flow from the facility during a quarter in which toxicity monitoring is
required, the Permittee will complete the information located at the top of the aquatic toxicity (AT) test
form indicating the facility name, permit number, pipe number, county, and the month/year of the report
with the notation of "No Flow" in the comment area of the form. The report shall be submitted to the
Environmental Sciences Section at the address cited below.

The remaining parts of the Permit 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.
To maintain compliance with discharge limitations, proper operation and maintenance of
a wastewater treatment facility and the development of a process control program are essential.
For those facilities having chlorine tablet disinfection, please be advised that chlorine tablets
approved for wastewater treatment use must be used; swimming pool tablets are not approved.
Also, be advised that DWQ staff need to have access to the facility's discharge point into the
receiving stream; please maintain a path along the outfall line to facilitate that access.
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 $25,000 per violation (and/or criminal penalties) may be
assessed for such violations. If you find at any time that you are unable to comply with the terms
and conditions of the Permit, you should contact this Office immediately. A Special Order by
Consent (SOC) may be necessary while pursuing action to obtain compliance.
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 1 of the Permit. Also note that NPDES Permits are not automatically transferable.
If you, as the Permittee, cease to need this Permit, then you should request that the Division of
Water Quality rescind the Permit or request that DWQ reissue the Pen -nit to another party, if
necessary.
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.

Subject: Issuance of NPDES Permit NC0032891
Kinder Morgan Southeast Terminals — Charlotte Te
Mecklenburg County
Dear Mr. Sullivan:
DEC 2 9 200`
Division personnel have reviewed and approved your application for renewal of the subject permit.
Accordingly, we are forwarding the attached NPDES discharge permit. This permit is issued pursuant to
the requirements of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and the Memorandum of Agreement
between North Carolina and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency dated May 9, 1994 (or as
subsequently amended).
This final permit includes the following changes from the draft permit sent to you on July 6, 2005:
• The monitoring frequency for phenol has been changed to monthly for outfalls 001 and 002. This
change was made in keeping with North Carolina's updated permitting strategy regulating discharges
from petroleum bulk storage facilities. Neither outfall has an associated limit for its discharge of
phenol, based upon the facility's discharge history.
• More extensive footnotes have been added; however, their content is essentially the same as found in
the draft and in your current permit.
• For outfall 002 (only) the frequency for Acute Toxicity testing has been increased from annual to
quarterly monitoring. This change was based upon application of the updated strategy mentioned
above with respect to the toxicity discharge history of this outfall. Results of toxicity testing from
outfall 002 have yielded results of an LC50 of less than 100%© in three of the past five years. The
Division will be willing to consider a request to reestablish an annual monitoring frequency for this
parameter upon the submittal of 5 consecutive quarterly results with an LC50 of >100%©.
• In a transmittal letter to the previous permittee dated July 30, 2001, the Division informed the
permittee with regard to EPA Method 625 testing: "if your facility collects eight to ten samples in
which none of the 625 compounds are detected, you may submit a request to the Division that this
sampling requirement be eliminated." While entries have been made on the DMRs showing the 625
testing has been conducted, complete results of the analyses have not always accompanied the DMRs
for each outfall, and therefore the Division could not conduct a complete examination of the record to
determine the continued need for this monitoring. If you can provide adequate records from each
outfall for such a review and the results meet the standard noted above, the Division will be willing to
modifiy the permit to remove the requirement for EPA Method 625 monitoring.

indicating "No discharge." Flow may be monitored using any one of four methods:
a) measure flow continuously;
b) calculate flow (see Rational Equation below) 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."
The Rational Equation: Q=KuCIA, where:
KQu =
flow (peak flow rate (cfs or m3/sec)
units conversation factor = 1.008 for U.S. standard units (usually ignored because
it is so close to 1), or 0.278 for SI units
dimensionless runoff coefficient for the watershed, loosely defined as the ratio of
runoff to rainfall
intensity of rainfall taken from the intensity -duration -frequency curves for the
specified design return period at the time of concentration, tc (in/h or mm/h). tc =
time of concentration (time after the beginning of rainfall excess when all portions
of the drainage basin are contributing simultaneously to flow at the outlet).
A = area of tributary watershed (acres or km2)
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 region's upper reaches to its
outlet, and
• the region's drainage area.
2. 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. Acute Toxicity Outfall 001 (Fathead Minnow, 24-hour), Annual [see Special Condition A.(3.)].
5. Acute Toxicity Outfall 002 (Fathead Minnow, 24-hour), Quarterly [see Special Condition A.(4.)].
The facility may request the monitoring frequency be changed to annual upon the completion of 5
consecutive quarterly tests with no demonstration of toxicity (i.e., the last 5 consecutive tests have
"passed" or demonstrate a LC50 of >100%).
The Permittee shall collect Acute Toxicity samples concurrently with BTEX sampling.
There shall be no discharge of floating solids or foam visible in other than trace amounts.
There shall be no direct discharge of tank solids, tank bottom water, or the rag layer.
There shall be no direct discharge of tank (or pipe) contents following hydrostatic testing unless benzene
concentration is less than 1.19 µg/I and toluene concentration is less than 11 µg/1.

Version 6/20/2003

NPDES Permit Requirements
Page 7 of 16
b. Within 120 calendar days of:
➢ Receiving notification of a change in the classification of the system requiring the designation of a
new ORC and back-up ORC
➢ A vacancy in the position of ORC or back-up ORC.
2, Proper Operation and Maintenance
The Permittee shall at all times provide the operation and maintenance resources necessary to operate the existing
facilities at optimum efficiency. The Permittee shall at all times properly operate and maintain all facilities and
systems of treatment and control (and related appurtenances) which are installed or used by the Permittee to
achieve compliance with the conditions of this permit. Proper operation and maintenance also includes adequate
laboratory controls and appropriate quality assurance procedures. This provision requires the Permittee to install
and operate backup or auxiliary facilities only when necessary to achieve compliance with the conditions of the
permit [40 CFR 122.41 (e)].
Need to Halt or Reduce not a Defense
It shall not be a defense for a Permittee in an enforcement action that it would have been necessary to halt or
reduce the permitted activity in order to maintain compliance with the condition of this permit [40 CFR 122.41
(c)].
4. Bypassing of Treatment Facilities
a. Bypass not exceeding limitations [40 CFR 122.41 (m) (2)]
The Permittee may allow any bypass to occur which does not cause effluent limitations to be exceeded, but
only if it also is for essential maintenance to assure efficient operation. These bypasses are not 'subject to the
provisions of Paragraphs b. and c. of this section.
b. Notice [40 CFR 122.41 (m) (3)]
(1) Anticipated bypass. If the Permittee knows in advance of the need for a bypass, it shall submit prior
notice, if possible at least ten days before the date of the bypass; including an evaluation of the
anticipated quality and effect of the bypass.
(2) Unanticipated bypass. The Permittee shall submit notice of an unanticipated bypass as required in Part
II. E. 6. (24-hour notice).
c. Prohibition of Bypass
(1) Bypass from the treatment facility is prohibited and the Permit Issuing Authority may take enforcement
action against a Permittee for bypass, unless:
(A) Bypass was unavoidable to prevent loss of life, personal injury or severe property damage;
(B) There were no feasible alternatives to the bypass, such as the use of auxiliary treatment facilities,
retention of untreated wastes or maintenance during normal periods of equipment downtime. This
condition is not satisfied if adequate backup equipment should have been installed in the exercise of
reasonable engineering judgment to prevent a bypass which occurred during normal periods of
equipment downtime or preventive maintenance; and
(C) The Permittee submitted notices as required under Paragraph b. of this section.
(2) Bypass from the collection system is prohibited and the Permit Issuing Authority may take enforcement
action against a Permittee for a bypass as provided in any current or future system -wide collection system
permit associated with the treatment facility.
(3) The Permit Issuing Authority may approve an anticipated bypass, after considering its adverse effects, if
the Permit Issuing Authority determines that it will meet the three conditions listed above in Paragraph c.
(1) of this section.
Upsets
a. Effect of an upset [40 CFR 122.41 (n) (2)]: An upset constitutes an affirmative defense to an action
brought for noncompliance with such technology based permit effluent limitations if the requirements of

Dear Ms. Sprinkle:
Kinder Morgan Southeast Terminals, LLC (KMST) is requesting the renewal of our NPDES
permit NC0032891 for our Charlotte 1 Terminal, Mecklenburg County. Please find attached
the NPDES Permit Application Short Form-C as the permit renewal application. There have
been no changes to the terminal which would require any modifications to the permit.
The Charlotte 1 Terminal only discharges storm water and therefore does not generate
sludges or solids at the facility. All petroleum contact waters and petroleum tank bottoms
are transported to a KMST approved treatment and disposal facility.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Cliff McCowan at 336-601-
2207.

EFFLUENT LIMITATIONS AND MONITORING REQUIREMENTS
SPECIAL CONDITIONS
A. (3.) ACUTE TOXICITY MONITORING (ANNUAL)
The Permittee shall conduct annual toxicity tests using protocols defined as definitive in EPA Document
EPA/600/4-90/027 entitled "Methods for Measuring the Acute Toxicity of Effluents to Freshwater and
Marine Organisms." The monitoring shall be performed as a Fathead Minnow (Pimephales promelas)
24-hour static test. Effluent samples for self -monitoring purposes must be obtained below all waste
treatment. The permittee will conduct one test annually, with the annual period beginning in January of
the calendar year of the effective date of the permit. The annual test requirement must be performed and
reported by June 30. If no discharge occurs by June 30, notification will be made to the Division by this
date. Toxicity testing will be performed on the next discharge event for the annual test requirement.
The parameter code for this test is TAE6C. All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit
condition will be entered on the Effluent Discharge Foiiii (MR-1) for the month in which it was
performed, using the appropriate parameter code. Additionally, DWQ Form AT-1 (original) is to be sent
to the following address:
Attention: North Carolina Division of Water Quality
Environmental Sciences Branch
1621 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1621
Completed Aquatic Toxicity Test Forms shall be filed with the Environmental Sciences Branch no later
than 30 days after the end of the reporting period for which the report is made.
Test data shall be complete and accurate and include all supporting chemical/physical measurements
performed in association with the toxicity tests, as well as all dose/response data. Total residual chlorine
of the effluent toxicity sample must be measured and reported if chlorine is employed for disinfection of
the waste stream.
Should any test data from either these monitoring requirements or tests performed by the North Carolina
Division of Water Quality indicate potential impacts to the receiving stream, this permit may be re-
opened and modified to include alternate monitoring requirements or limits.
NOTE: Failure to achieve test conditions as specified in the cited document, such as minimum control
organism survival and appropriate environmental controls, shall constitute an invalid test and will
require immediate follow-up testing to be completed no later than the last day of the month following the
month of the initial monitoring.

Pe NC0032891
A. (4.) MTBE SPECIAL CONDITION
For the protection of public health, oil terminals that discharge to waters classified as water supplies
("WS" waters) will adhere to the following action plan:
1. As stated in Part A. (1.), monthly monitoring of MTBE for the duration of the permit is required.
2. After one year of monthly monitoring or once twelve data points have been collected, the
Permittee shall review the MTBE data collected. If MTBE has not been detected in any samples
taken during the first year, the facility may request that the monitoring frequency for MTBE be
reduced. This should be done by requesting the NPDES Unit to perform a minor modification to
the NPDES permit. In the case in which MTBE has been detected within the first year of
effluent sampling, the subject facility must submit an MTBE reduction plan. This action plan
may include site -specific BMPs or engineering solutions. A copy of this plan should be
submitted to:
North Carolina Division of Water Quality
Water Quality Section
Attn: NPDES Unit
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, NC 27699-1617
3. By the time of the next permit renewal, it is anticipated that surface water criterion for MTBE will be
established. This criterion will be used in conjunction with the facility's effluent MTBE data to perform
a reasonable potential analysis (RPA). The RPA will determine whether effluent from a facility has the
potential to exceed a water quality standard or criterion, thereby requiring

Subject: NPDES Permit Renewal Application
Permit NC0032891
Phillips Pipe Line Company
Mecklenburg County
The NPDES Unit received your permit renewal application on January 29, 2001. Thank you for submitting this package.
The permit renewal for this facility will be assigned to a member of the NPDES Unit staff. That staff member will contact you if
further information is needed to complete the permit renewal. Please note that the NPDES Unit has several vacant positions. This
staff shortage has lasted for over a year and is delaying all permit renewals, Our remaining permit writers are currently reviewing
Authorizations to Construct, speculative limit requests, major permit modifications and 201 plan updates ahead of permit renewals.
This is necessary due to a variety of factors, including mandatory deadlines in the statutes which govern our program.
To facilitate permit renewal, the NPDES Unit is requesting that oil terminal bulk storage facilities submit a few additional items. As
soon as possible, please submit the following items:
A site plan indicating all sources of stormwater, washwater, and other wastewater (including any discharge from a
groundwater remediation system) being discharged from the permitted outfall(s).
If available, a disk or electronic copy of the past five year's worth of discharge monitoring report data from your
facility. Microsoft Excel is the preferred format for such data.
A brief description of the manner in which tank solids, tank bottom water, the rag layer, and any other waters are
disposed.
If the staff shortage delays reissuance of NC0032891 the existing requirements in your permit will remain in effect until the permit is
renewed (or the Division takes other action). We appreciate your patience and understanding while we operate with a severely
depleted staff. If you have any additional questions concerning renewal of the subject permit, please contact me at [phone],
extension 520.

RE: NPDES Permit renewal request for Charlotte Terminal
Permit No.: NC0032891
As required by permit NC0032891 Section B10, Phillips Pipe Line Company is submitting the
NPDES Permit Application Renewal — Short Form C. The permit expires August 31, 2001 and
requires submittal 180 days prior to expiration.
The terminal's discharged water still remains to be stormwater only, from the tank dike areas.
There have been no process changes nor do we anticipate any process changes that would
affect the quality of the discharged water,
Your consideration is requested to reduce the frequency of the 624/625 analysis from semi-
annually to annually. In the past five years the terminal has reported Non -Detect for all
parameters in the analysis except for the January 1999 analysis for 624/625 which detected
methylene chloride which the lab considered to be a contaminate from the lab. Methylene
chloride is not used in any processes at our facility and has not been detected since.
If you have any questions or require additional information, please contact me at 918-661-1407.

Subject: NPDES Permit No. NC0032891
Charlotte Terminal
Mecklenburg County, NC
Dear Mr, Ysebaert:
Our records indicate that NPDES Permit No. NC0032891 was issued on July 30, 2001 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 are Pages 5,6 and 7.
Pages 5,6 and 7set 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 reporting forms furnished or approved by this Agency. If you
have not received these forms, they should be arriving shortly. If you fail to receive the forms, please
contact this Office as quickly as possible. I have enclosed a sample of the "Effluent" reporting form
(DWQ Form MR-1), plus instructions for completing the form. It is imperative that a. applicable
parts be completed, and the original and one copy be submitted as required.
Please be advised that an annual administering and compliance monitoring fee may be required
for your facility. You will soon be receiving a statement from our Raleigh Office. It is imperative
that the fee be paid in a timely manner so as to prevent enforcement action or possible revocation of
your permit.
The remaining parts of the Permit 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 $25,000 per violation (and/or criminal penalties) may be assessed for such violations,
If you find at any time that you are unable to comply with the terms and conditions of the Permit, you
should contact this Office immediately, A Special Order by Consent (SOC) may be necessary while
pursuing action to obtain compliance.
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 1 of the Permit. Also note that NPDES Permits are not automatically transferable. If you, as
the Permittee, cease to need this Permit, then you should request that the Division of Water Quality
rescind the Permit or request that DWQ reissue the Permit to another party, if necessary,
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,

Subject: Issuance of NPDES Permit NC0032891
Charlotte Terminal
Mecklenburg County
Division of Water Quality (Division) personnel have reviewed and approved your application for renewal of the subject
permit. Accordingly, we are forwarding the attached NPDES discharge permit. This permit is issued pursuant to the requirements of
North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and the Memorandum of Agreement between North Carolina and the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency dated May 9, 1994 (or as subsequently amended). Please note the following changes from your draft permit, most
of which are the result of the Paw Creek hearing officer's recommendations:
pH monitoring and limits have been removed from your permit. This was an error made in all of the Paw Creek draft
permits. The pH requirement was eliminated in the previous permitting cycle and should not have been included in the 2001
permits.
The MTBE limit of 11.6 ug/L has been removed from the permit. As per the hearing officer's recommendations, a peer -
reviewed criterion for MTBE does not exist and will not be included as part of the permitting strategy for the Paw Creek permits.
It is anticipated that a criterion will be in place when this permit is next renewed. In addition to monthly monitoring of
MTBE, please see Part A.(3.) for some additional requirements related to MTBE.
The monthly monitoring requirement for naphthalene has been deleted. Semi-annual monitoring using EPA Method
625 replaces it. As per the hearing officer's report, 625 is the best method for detecting naphthalene and other middle distillate
compounds and is therefore a more appropriate monitoring requirement.. If your facility collects eight to ten samples in which
none of the 625 compounds axe detected, you may submit a request to the Division that this sampling requirement be eliminated.
Flow monitoring frequency has been changed from monthly to episodic. As per a request by the Mooresville Regional
Office, flow must be measured with each discharge event.
If any parts, measurement frequencies or sampling requirements contained in this permit are unacceptable to you, you have
the right to an adjudicatory hearing upon written request within thirty (30) days following receipt of this letter. This request must be in
the form of a written petition, conforming to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes, and filed with the Office of
Administrative Hearings (6714 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-6714). Unless such demand is made, this decision
shall be final and binding.
Please note that this permit is not transferable except after notice to the Division. The Division may require modification or
revocation and reissuance of the permit This permit does not affect the legal requirements to obtain other permits which may be
required by the Division of Water Quality or permits required by the Division of Land Resources, the Coastal Area Management Act
or any other Federal or Local governmental permit that may be required.
If you have any questions concerning this permit, please contact Natalie Sierra at telephone number [phone],

EFFLUENT LIMITATIONS AND M©NIT©RING REQUIREMENTS
SPECIAL CONDITIONS
A. (3.) ACUTE TOXICITY MONITORING (ANNUAL)
The Permittee shall conduct annual toxicity tests using protocols defined as definitive in EPA Document
EPA/600/4-90/027 entitled "Methods for Measuring the Acute Toxicity of Effluents to Freshwater and
Marine Organisms." The monitoring shall be performed as a Fathead Minnow (Pimephales promelas)
24-hour static test. Effluent samples for self -monitoring purposes must be obtained below all waste
treatment. The permittee will conduct one test annually, with the annual period beginning in January of
the calendar year of the effective date of the permit. The annual test requirement must be performed and
reported by June 30. If no discharge occurs by June 30, notification will be made to the Division by this
date. Toxicity testing will be performed on the next discharge event for the annual test requirement.
The parameter code for this test is TAE6C. All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit
condition will be entered on the Effluent Discharge Form (MR-1) for the month in which it was
performed, using the appropriate parameter code. Additionally, DWQ Form AT-1 (original) is to be sent
to the following address:
Attention: North Carolina Division of Water Quality
Environmental Sciences Branch
1621 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1621
Completed Aquatic Toxicity Test Forms shall be filed with the Environmental Sciences Branch no later
than 30 days after the end of the reporting period for which the report is made.
Test data shall be complete and accurate and include all supporting chemical/physical measurements
performed in association with the toxicity tests, as well as all dose/response data. Total residual chlorine
of the effluent toxicity sample must be measured and reported if chlorine is employed for disinfection of
the waste stream.
Should any test data from either these monitoring requirements or tests performed by the North Carolina
Division of Water Quality indicate potential impacts to the receiving stream, this permit may be re-
opened and modified to include alternate monitoring requirements or limits.
NOTE: Failure to achieve test conditions as specified in the cited document, such as minimum control
organism survival and appropriate environmental controls, shall constitute an invalid test and will
require immediate follow-up testing to be completed no later than the last day of the month following
the month of the initial monitoring.

Permit NC0032891
A. (4.) MTBE SPECIAL CONDITION
For the protection of public health, oil terminals that discharge to waters classified as water supplies
("WS" waters) will adhere to the following action plan:
1. As stated in Part A. (1.), monthly monitoring of MTBE for the duration of the permit is required.
2. After one year of monthly monitoring or once twelve data points have been collected, the
Permittee shall review the MTBE data collected. If MTBE has not been detected in any samples
taken during the first year, the facility may request that the monitoring frequency for MTBE be
reduced. This should be done by requesting the NPDES Unit to perform a minor modification to
the NPDES permit. In the case in which MTBE has been detected within the first year of
effluent sampling, the subject facility must submit an MTBE reduction plan. This action plan
may include site -specific BMPs or engineering solutions. A copy of this plan should be
submitted to:
North Carolina Division of Water Quality
Water Quality Section
Attn: NPDES Unit
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, NC 27699-1617
3. By the time of the next permit renewal, it is anticipated that surface water criterion for MTBE will be
established. This criterion will be used in conjunction with the facility's effluent MTBE data to perfonn
a reasonable potential analysis (RPA). The RPA will determine whether effluent from a facility has the
potential to exceed a water quality standard or criterion, thereby requiring

STANDARD CONDITIONS FOR NPDES PERMITS
SECTION A. DEFINITIONS
1. Permit Issuing Authority: The Director of the Division of Water Quality.
2. DEM or "the Division"
Resources.
3. EMC Used herein means the North Carolina Environmental Management Commission.
4. Act or "the Act" The Federal Water Pollution Control Act, also known as the Clean Water Act, as amended,
33 USC 1251, et. seq.
Mass/Day Measurements
Means the Division of Water Quality, Department of Environment and Natural
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 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 pennit.
h. 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. 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 sampled 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.
6, Concentration Measurement
The "average monthly concentration," other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the sum of the concentrations
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 (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" under "Other Limits" in Part I of the permit.

Part II
Page 2 of 11
6. 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" under "Other Limits" in Part I of the permit.
c. The "maximum daily concentration" is the concentration of a pollutant discharge during a calendar day. If
only one sample is taken during any calendar day the concentration of pollutant calculated from it is the
"Maximum Daily Concentration". 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 discharges 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 Part I of the permit.
e. The "daily average concentration" (for dissolved oxygen) is the minimum allowable amount of dissolved
oxygen required to be available in the effluent prior to discharge averaged over a calendar day. If only one
dissolved oxygen sample is taken over a calendar day, the sample is considered to be the "daily average
concentration" for the discharge. It is identified as "daily average" in the text of Part I.
g.
The "quarterly average concentration" is the average of all samples taken over a calendar quarter. It is
identified as "Quarterly Average Limitation" in the text of Part I of the permit.
A calendar quarter is defined as one of the following distinct periods: January through March, April through
June, July through September, and October through December.
7. 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.
c. A "continuous flow measurement" is a measure of discharge flow from the facility which occurs continually
without interruption throughout the operating hours of the facility. Flow shall be monitored continually
except for the infrequent times when there may be no flow or for infrequent maintenance activities on the
flow device.
8. Types of Samples
a. Composite Sample: A composite sample shall consist of:
(1) 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

Part II
Page 3 of 11
8. a. (2) 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 present
gallon interval between sample collection fixed at no greater than 1/24 of the expected total daily flow at
the treatment system, or
(3) a single, continuous sample collected over a 24-hour period proportional to the rate of flow.
In accordance with (1) above, the time interval between influent grab samples shall be no greater than
once per hour, and the time interval between effluent grab samples shall be no greater than once per hour
except at wastewater treatment systems having a detention time of greater than 24 hours. In such cases,
effluent grab samples may be collected at time intervals evenly spaced over the 24-hour period which are
equal in number of hours to the detention time of the system in number of days. However, in no case
may the time interval between effluent grab samples be greater than six (6) hours nor the number of
samples less than four (4) during a 24-hour sampling period.
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. Grab samples must be representative of the discharge or the
receiving waters.
9. 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 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.
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:
Water Act.
A toxic pollutant is any pollutant listed as toxic under Section 307(a)(1) of the Clean

SECTION C. OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OF POLLUTION CONTROLS
1. Certified Operator
Pursuant to Chapter 90A-44 of North Carolina General Statutes, and upon classification of the facility by the
Certification Commission, the permittee shall employ a certified wastewater treatment plant operator in
responsible charge (ORC) 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 by the
Certification Commission. The permittee must also employ a certified back-up operator of the appropriate type
and any grade to comply with the conditions of Title 15A NCAC Chapter 8G.0202. The ORC of the facility
must visit each Class I facility at least weekly and each Class II, III, and IV facility at least daily, excluding
weekends and holidays, and must properly manage and document daily operation and maintenance of the facility
and must comply with all other conditions of Title 15A, NCAC Chapter 8G.0202. Once the facility is classified,
the permittee shall submit a letter to the Certification Commission which designates the operator in responsible
charge within thirty days after the wastewater treatment facilities are 50% complete.
2. Proper Operation and Maintenance
The permittee shall at all times properly operate and maintain all facilities and systems of treatment and control
(and related appurtenances) which are installed or used by the permittee to achieve compliance with the
conditions of this permit. Proper operation and maintenance also includes adequate laboratory controls and
appropriate quality assurance procedures. This provision requires the operation of back-up or auxiliary facilities
or similar systems installed by a permittee only when the operation is necessary to achieve compliance with the
conditions of the permit.
3. Need to Halt or Reduce not a Defense
It shall not be a defense for a permittee in an enforcement action that it would have been necessary to halt or
reduce the permitted activity in order to maintain compliance with the condition of this permit.
4. Bypassing of Treatment Facilities
a. Definitions
(1) "Bypass" means 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.
(2) "Severe property damage" means substantial physical damage to property, damage to the treatment
facilities which causes them to become inoperable, or substantial and permanent loss of natural resources
which can reasonably be expected to occur in the absence of a bypass. Severe property damage does not
mean economic loss caused by delays in production.

Part II
Page 7 of 11
4. b. Bypass not exceeding limitations.
The permittee may allow any bypass to occur which does not cause effluent limitations to be exceeded, but
only if it also is for essential maintenance to assure efficient operation. These bypasses are not subject to the
provisions of Paragraphs c. and d. of this section.
c. Notice
(1) Anticipated bypass. If the permittee knows in advance of the need for a bypass, it shall submit prior
notice, if possible at least ten days before the date of the bypass; including an evaluation of the
anticipated quality and affect of the bypass.
(2) Unanticipated bypass. The permittee shall submit notice of an unanticipated bypass as required in Part II,
E. 6. of this permit. (24 hour notice).
d. Prohibition of Bypass
(1) Bypass is prohibited and the Permit Issuing Authority may take enforcement action against a permittee
for bypass, unless:
(A) Bypass was unavoidable to prevent loss of life, personal injury or severe property damage;
(B) There were no feasible alternatives to the bypass, such as the use of auxiliary treatment facilities,
retention of untreated wastes or maintenance during normal periods of equipment downtime. This
condition is not satisfied if adequate backup equipment should have been installed in the exercise of
reasonable engineering judgment to prevent a bypass which occurred during normal periods of
equipment downtime or preventive maintenance; and
(C) The permittee submitted notices as required under Paragraph c. of this section.
(2) The Permit Issuing Authority may approve an anticipated bypass, after considering its adverse affects, if
the Permit Issuing Authority determines that it will meet the three conditions listed above in Paragraph
d. (1) of this section.
5. Upsets
a. Definition: "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.
b. Effect of an upset: An upset constitutes an affirmative defense to an action brought for noncompliance
with such technology based permit effluent limitations if the requirements of paragraph c. of this condition
are met. No determination made during administrative review of claims that noncompliance was caused by
upset, and before an action for noncompliance, is final administrative action subject to judicial review.
c. Conditions necessary for a demonstration of upset: A permittee who wishes to establish the
affirmative defense of upset shall demonstrate, through properly signed, contemporaneous operating logs, or
other relevant evidence that:
(1) An upset occurred and that the permittee can identify the cause(s) of the upset;
(2) The permittee facility was at the time being properly operated; and
(3) The permittee submitted notice of the upset as required in Part II, E. 6. (b) (B) of this permit.
(4) The permittee complied with any remedial measures required under Part II, B. 2. of this permit.

inadequately treated wastes during electrical power failures either by means of alternate power sources, standby
generators or retention of inadequately treated effluent.
SECTION D. MONITORINGAND RECORDS
1. Representative Sampling
Samples collected and measurements taken, as required herein, shall be characteristic of the volume and nature of
the permitted discharge. Samples collected at a frequency less than daily shall be taken on a day and time that is
characteristic of the discharge over the entire period which the sarnple represents. All samples shall be taken at
the monitoring points specified in this permit and, unless otherwise specified, before the effluent joins or is
diluted by any other wastestrearn, body of water, or substance. Monitoring points shall not be changed without
notification to and the approval of the Permit Issuing Authority.
2. Reporting
Monitoring results obtained during the previous month(s) shall be summarized for each month and reported on a
monthly Discharge Monitoring Report (DMR) Form (DEM No. MR 1,1.1, 2, 3) or alternative forms approved by
the Director, DEM, postmarked no later than the 30th day following the completed reporting period.
The first DMR is due on the last day of the month following the issuance of the permit or in the case of a new

Subject: Modification of NPDES Permit NC0032891
Charlotte Terminal
Mecklenburg County
On July 30, 2001 the Division of Water Quality (Division) issued a final permit for your facility. On
August 13, 2001, Becky Hesslen of Philips Pipe Line contacted Division personnel about some errors made
to the effluent limits page for outfall 002. The following change has been made accordingly:
The monthly monitoring requirement for naphthalene has been deleted for outfall 002. Semi-
annual monitoring using EPA Method 625 replaces it. As per the hearing officer's report, 625 is the
best method for detecting naphthalene and other middle distillate compounds and is therefore a more
appropriate monitoring requirement. . If your facility collects eight to ten samples in which none of the
625 compounds are detected, you may submit a request to the Division that this sampling requirement
be eliminated.
Please find enclosed the revised permit pages. The revised pages should be inserted into
your pennit. The old pages may then be discarded. All other terms and conditions contained in
the original permit remain unchanged and in full effect. This permit modification is issued under
the requirements of North Carolina General Statutes 143-215.1 and the Memorandum of
Agreement between North Carolina and the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency.
If any parts, measurement frequencies or sampling requirements contained in this permit modification
are unacceptable to you, you have the right to an adjudicatory hearing upon written request within thirty
(30) days following receipt of this letter. This request must be a written petition conforming to Chapter
150B of the North Carolina General Statutes, filed with the Office of Administrative Hearings (6714 Mail
Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-6714). Unless such demand is made, this decision shall be
final and binding.

Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and the Memorandum of Agreement between North Carolina and the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency dated December 6, 1983.
Based on comments received by the Division on May 13, 1996, the following corrections and clarifications
to your NPDES permit have been made:
a) The supplement to permit cover sheet has been changed to reflect the discharge of stormwater only
through outfalls 001 and 002.
b) A revised map has been included indicating the correct location of outfalls 001 and 002.
c) The monthly monitoring requirements for benzene and phenol have been removed from the effluent
limitations page as have the monitoring requirements for all chlorophenolic compounds. The Division
inadvertantly applied the permitting strategy for discharges to "WS" class waters to your facility.
cts The acute toxicity requirement has been changed to an annual test.
e) Xylene monitoring should be conducted on a semi-annual basis as recommended by the Hearing Officer.
If any parts, measurement frequencies or sampling requirements contained in this permit are unacceptable to
you, you have the right to an adjudicatory hearing upon written request within thirty (30) days following redeipt of

STANDARD COND1TIONS FOR NPDES PERMITS
SECTION A. DEFINITIONS
1. Permit Issuing Authority
The Director of the Division of Environmental Management.
2. DEM or Division
Means the Division of Environmental Management, Department of Environment, Health and
Natural Resources.
3.EMC

4. Act or "the Act"
The Federal Water Pollution Control Act, also known as the Clean Water Act, as amended, 33
USC 1251, et. seq.
5. Mass/Day Measurements
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 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. 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 sampled
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 II
Page 2 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 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 (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" 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" under "Other Limits" in
Part I of the permit.
c. The "maximum daily concentration" is the concentration of a pollutant discharge during a
calendar day. If only one sample is taken during any calendar day the concentration of
pollutant calculated from it is the "Maximum Daily Concentration". 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 discharges 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
Part I of the permit.
e. The "daily average concentration" (for dissolved oxygen) is the minimum allowable amount
of dissolved oxygen required to be available in the effluent prior to discharge averaged
over a calendar day. If only one dissolved oxygen sample is taken over a calendar day, the
sample is considered to be the "daily average concentration" for the discharge. It is
identified as "daily average" in the text of Part L
The "quarterly average concentration" is the average of all samples taken over a calendar
quarter. It is identified as "Quarterly Average Limitation" in the text of Part I of the permit.
A calendar quarter is defined as one of the following distinct periods: January through
March, April through June, July through September, and October through December.

7. 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.
c. A "continuous flow measurement" is a measure of discharge flow from the facility which
occurs continually without interruption throughout the operating hours of the facility. Flow
shall be monitored continually except for the infrequent times when there may be no flow
or for infrequent maintenance activities on the flow device.
8. Types of Samples
a. Composite Sample: A composite sample shall consist of:
(1) 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
(2) 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 present gallon interval between sample
collection fixed at no greater than 1/24 of the expected total daily flow at the treatment
system, or
(3) a single, continuous sample collected over a 24 hour period proportional to the rate of
flow.
In accordance with (1) above, the time interval between influent grab samples shall be no
greater than once per hour, and the time interval between effluent grab samples shall be no
greater than once per hour except at wastewater treatment systems having a detention time
of greater than 24 hours. In such cases, effluent grab samples may be collected at time
intervals evenly spaced over the 24 hour period which are equal in number of hours to the
detention time of the system in number of days. However, in no case may the time interval
between effluent grab samples be greater than six (6) hours nor the number of samples less
than four (4) during a 24 hour sampling period.
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. Grab samples must be
representative of the discharge or the receiving waters.
9. 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).

Part II
Page 4 of 14
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 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.
11. Hazanious 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
or the
a ter Act.

judgment to prevent a bypass which occurred during normal periods of equipment
downtime or preventive maintenance; and
(C) The permittee submitted notices as required under Paragraph c. of this section.
(2) The Permit Issuing Authority may approve an anticipated bypass, after considering its
adverse affects, if the Permit Issuing Authority determines that it will meet the three
conditions listed above in Paragraph d. (1) of this section.
5. Upseta
a. Definition.
"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.
b. Effect of an upset.
An upset constitutes an affirmative defense to an action brought for noncompliance with
such technology based permit effluent limitations if the requirements of paragraph c. of this
condition are met. No determination made during administrative review of claims that
noncompliance was caused by upset, and before an action for noncompliance, is fmal
administrative action subject to judicial review.
c. Conditions necessary for a demonstration of upset.
A permittee who wishes to establish the affirmative defense of upset shall demonstrate,
through properly signed, contemporaneous operating logs, or other relevant evidence that
(1) An upset occurred and that the permittee can identify the cause(s) of the upset;
(2) The permittee facility was at the time being properly operated; and
(3) The permittee submitted notice of the upset as required in Part II, E. 6. (b) (B) of this
Pt-

(Pimephales promelas) 24 hour static test. Effluent samples for self -monitoring purposes must be
obtained below all waste treatment. The permittee will conduct one test annually, with the annual
period beginning in January of the calendar year of the effective date of the permit. The annual test
requirement must be performed and reported by June 30. If no discharge occurs by June 30,
notification will be made to the Division by this date. Toxicity testing will be performed on the next
discharge event for the annual test requirement.
The parameter code for this test is TAE6C. All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit
condition will be entered on the Effluent Discharge Form (MR-1) for the month in which it was
performed, using the appropriate parameter code. Additionally, DEM Form AT-1 (original) is to be
sent to the following address:
Attention: Environmental Sciences Branch
North Carolina Division of
Water Quality
4401 Reedy Creek Rd.
Raleigh, N.C. 27607
Test data shall be complete and accurate and include all supporting chemical/physical measurements
performed in association with the toxicity tests, as well as all dose/response data. Total residual
chlorine of the effluent toxicity sample must be measured and reported if chlorine is employed for
disinfection of the waste stream.
Should any test data from either these monitoring requirements or tests performed by the North
Carolina Division of Water Quality indicate potential impacts to the receiving stream, this permit
may be re -opened and modified to include alternate monitoring requirements or limits.
NOTE: Failure to achieve test conditions as specified in the cited document, such as minimum
control organism survival and appropriate environmental controls, shall constitute an invalid test.
Failure to submit suitable test results will constitute noncompliance with monitoring requirements.

PART IV
ANNUAL ADMINISTERING AND COMPLIANCE MONITORING FEE REQUIREMENTS
A. The permittee must pay the annual administering and compliance monitoring fee within 30
(thirty) days after being billed by the Division. Failure to pay the fee in a timely manner in
accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0105(b)(4) may cause this Division to initiate action to
revoke the permit.

PART IV - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Phillips Pipe Line Company has requested renewal of its NPDES permit. In his Staff report
dated December 2, 1991, Mr. Kim Colson, formerly of this Office, noted that Phillips Pipe Line
Company was no longer discharging the wastewater generated by the oil/water separator or any of
the other WWT equipment associated with the loading area. The Company had instead elected to
haul the wastewater to Industrial Waste Services, Jacksonville, Florida. Mr. Colson recommended
that if the wastewater was not going to be discharged then the NPDES Permit should not be renewed.
The writer questioned Mr. E.P. Floyd, Supervisor, if the Company was still using the WWT
facilities to discharge or if they were hauling the waste water to Industrial Waste Services. Mr. Floyd
indicated that they intended to continue to haul the wastewater and to only discharge storm water
from the secondary containment areas via outfalls 001 and 002. He indicated that the Company no
longer desired to use the WWT facilities to discharge wastewater.
Page 3

The WWT facilities consist of an oil/water separator and sump with pumps to send the
wastewater to a storage tank within the secondary containment area. This wastewater is then hauled
from the storage tank to Industrial Waste Services. There are no longer any discharges from the
subject WWT facilities.
However, both of the outfalls do discharge storm water from each of the two secondary
containment basins. Therefore, this Office recommends that the current NPDES Permit not be
renewed, but a General Storm Water Permit be issued instead.

1. Permit Issuing Authority
The Director of the Division of Environmental Management.
2. DEM or Division
Means the Division of Environmental Management, Department of Environment, Health and

4. Act or "the Act"
The Federal Water Pollution Control Act, also known as the Clean Water Act, as amended, 33
USC 1251, et. seq.
. Mass/Dv Measurements
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 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. 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 sampled
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 II
Page 2 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 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 (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" 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" under "Other Limits" in
Part I of the permit.
c. The "maximum daily concentration" is the concentration of a pollutant discharge during a
calendar day. If only one sample is taken during any calendar day the concentration of
pollutant calculated from it is the "Maximum Daily Concentration". 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 discharges 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
Part I of the permit.
e. The "daily average concentration" (for dissolved oxygen) is the minimum allowable amount
of dissolved oxygen required to be available in the effluent prior to discharge averaged
over a calendar day. If only one dissolved oxygen sample is taken over a calendar day, the
sample is considered to be the "daily average concentration" for the discharge. It is
identified as "daily average" in the text of Part I.
g.
The "quarterly average concentration" is the average of all samples taken over a calendar
quarter. It is identified as "Quarterly Average Limitation" in the text of Part I of the permit.
A calendar quarter is defined as one of the following distinct periods: January through
March, April through June, July through September, and October through December.

7. 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.
c. A "continuous flow measurement" is a measure of discharge flow from the facility which
occurs continually without interruption throughout the operating hours of the facility. Flow
shall be monitored continually except for the infrequent times when there may be no flow
or for infrequent maintenance activities on the flow device.
8. 'Types of Samples
a. Composite Sample: A composite sample shall consist of:
(1) 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
(2) 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 present gallon interval between sample
collection fixed at no greater than 1/24 of the expected total daily flow at the treatment
system, or
(3) a single, continuous sample collected over a 24 hour period proportional to the rate of
flow.
In accordance with (1) above, the time interval between influent grab samples shall be no
greater than once per hour, and the time interval between effluent grab samples shall be no
greater than once per hour except at wastewater treatment systems having a detention time
of greater than 24 hours. In such cases, effluent grab samples may be collected at time
intervals evenly spaced over the 24 hour period which are equal in number of hours to the
detention time of the system in number of days. However, in no case may the time interval
between effluent grab samples be greater than six (6) hours nor the number of samples less
than four (4) during a 24 hour sampling period.
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. Grab samples must be
representative of the discharge or the receiving waters.
9. 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 analog 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).

Part II
Page 4 of 14
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 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.
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.

treatment and control (and related appurtenances) which are installed or used by the permittee to
achieve compliance with the conditions of this permit. Proper operation and maintenance also
includes adequate laboratory controls and appropriate quality assurance procedures. This
provision requires the operation of back-up or auxiliary facilities or similar systems which are
installed by a permittee only when the operation is necessary to achieve compliance with the
conditions of the permit.
3. Need to Halt r Reduce not a Defense
It shall not be a defense for a permittee in an enforcement action that it would have been
necessary to halt or reduce the permitted activity in order to maintain compliance with the
condition of this permit.
4. Bypassing of Treatment Facilities
a. Definitions
(1) "Bypass" means 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.
(2) "Severe property damage" means substantial physical damage to property, damage to
the treatment facilities which causes them to become inoperable, or substantial and
permanent loss of natural resources which can reasonably be expected to occur in the
absence of a bypass. Severe property damage does not mean economic loss caused by
delays in production.
b. Bypass not exceeding limitations.
The permittee may allow any bypass to occur which does not cause effluent limitations to
be exceeded, but only if it also is for essential maintenance to assure efficient operation.
These bypasses are not subject to the provisions of Paragraphs c. and d. of this section.
c. Notice
(1) Anticipated bypass. If the permittee knows in advance of the need for a bypass, it
shall submit prior notice, if possible at least ten days before the date of the bypass;
including an evaluation of the anticipated quality and affect of the bypass.
(2) Unanticipated bypass. The permittee shall submit notice of an unanticipated bypass as
required in Part II, E. 6. of this permit. (24 hour notice).
d. Prohibition of Bypass
(1) Bypass is prohibited and the Permit Issuing Authority may take enforcement action
against a permittee for bypass, unless:
(A) Bypass was unavoidable to prevent loss of life, personal injury or severe property
damage;
(B) There were no feasible alternatives to the bypass, such as the use of auxiliary
treatment facilities, retention of untreated wastes or maintenance during normal

Part II
Page 9 of 14
periods of equipment downtime. This condition is not satisfied if adequate backup
equipment should have been installed in the exercise of reasonable engineering
judgment to prevent a bypass which occurred during normal periods of equipment
downtime or preventive maintenance; and
(C) The permittee submitted notices as required under Paragraph c. of this section.
(2) The Permit Issuing Authority may approve an anticipated bypass, after considering its
adverse affects, if the Permit Issuing Authority determines that it will meet the three
conditions listed above in Paragraph d. (I) of this section.
5. Upsets
a. Definition.
"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.
b. Effect of an upset.
An upset constitutes an affirmative defense to an action brought for noncompliance with
such technology based permit effluent limitations if the requirements of paragraph c. of this
condition are met. No determination made during administrative review of claims that
noncompliance was caused by upset, and before an action for noncompliance, is final
administrative action subject to judicial review.
c. Conditions necessary for a demonstration of upset.
A permittee who wishes to establish the affirmative defense of upset shall demonstrate,
through properly signed, contemporaneous operating logs, or other relevant evidence that:
(1) An upset occurred and that the permittee can identify the cause(s) of the upset;
(2) The permittee facility was at the time being properly operated; and
(3) The permittee submitted notice of the upset as required in Part II, E. 6. (b) (B) of this
permit.
(4) The permitcomplied with any remedial measures required under Part II, B. 2. of this
permit.
d. Burden of proof.
In any enforcement proceeding the permittee seekmg to establish the occurrence of an upset
has the burden of proof.

Solids, sludges, filter backwash, or other pollutants removed in the course of treatment or
control of wastewaters shall be utilized/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. The permittee shall comply with all existing federal

Part II
Page 10 of 14
regulations governing the disposal of sewage sludge. Upon promulgation of 40 CFR Part 503,
any permit issued by the Permit Issuing Authority for the utilization/disposal of sludge may be
reopened and modified, or revoked and reissued, to incorporate applicable requirements at 40
CFR Part 503. The permittee shall comply with applicable 40 CFR Part 503 Standards for the
Use and Disposal of Sewage Sludge (when promulgated) within the time provided in the
regulation, even if the permit is not modified to incorporate the requirement. The permittee
shall notify the Permit Issuing Authority of any significant change in its sludge use or disposal
practices.
7. Power Failures.
The perrnittee is responsible for maintaining adequate safeguards as required by DEM
Regulation, Title 15A, North Carolina Administrative Code, Subchapter 2H, .0124 Reliability,
to prevent the discharge of untreated or inadequately treated wastes during electrical power
failures either by means of alternate power sources, standby generators or retention of
inadequately treated effluent.
SECTION D. MONITORING AND RECORDS
1.
Samples collected and measurements taken, as required herein, shall be characteristic of the
volume and nature of the permitted discharge. Samples collected at a frequency less than daily
shall be taken on a day and time that is characteristic of the discharge over the entire period
which the sample represents. All samples shall be taken at the monitoring points specified in
this permit and, unless otherwise specified, before the effluent joins or is diluted by any other
wastestream, body of water, or substance. Monitoring points shall not be changed without
notification to and the approval of the Permit Issuing Authority.
2. Reporting
Monitoring results obtained during the previous month(s) shall be summarized for each month
and reported on a monthly Discharge Monitoring Report (DMR) Form (DEM No. MR 1,1.1, 2,
3) or alternative forms approved by the Director, DEM, postmarked no later than the 30th day
following the completed reporting period.
The first DMR is due on the last day of the month following the issuance of the permit or in the
case of a new facility, on the last day of the month following the commencement of discharge.

I Where no measurable discharge occurs, "no discharge" should be clearly noted on the submitted monthly discharge monitoring report.
Flow may be monitored in one of four ways: a) Measure flow continuously, b) Calculate flow based on the area draining to the outfall, the built upon
area, and the total rainfall (this method of flow measurement should not be used at facilities that have large ponds to collect
surface water runoff), c) Estimate by flow measurement at 20 minute intervals during the entire discharge event, or d) Base flow on pump logs.
2 Where possible, the grab sample for oil and grease should be skimmed from the surface of a quiescent (calm water) zone.

PART IV - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The permittee, Phillips Pipe Line Company, has applied for
permit renewal.
Phillips is currently pumping all wastewater from the loading
area to storage tanks. The wastewater is then taken to Industrial
Waste Services, Inc. in Jacksonville, Florida. The Permittee
switched to this system because they thought that such discharges
would not be allowed in the future. The Permittee has been notified
that this Office is unaware of any such regulations. The permittee
is currently assessing the need for an NPDES permit.
If the permittee continues under the present system of pumping
the waste offsite, then the NPDES permit should not be renewed. A
separate stormwater permit may be required for the storage tank
dike area.
If the permittee resumes discharging the wastewater from the
loading area, then the permit should be modified to include an
additional outfall for stormwater from a separate dike area (002).
It is recommended that the permit be renewed as requested upon
confirmation that the permittee wishes to continue discharging.

discharged through any oil/water separator or other treatment equipment or facility.
*** The discharge shall not cause the turbidity of the receiving water to exceed 50 NTU. If the turbidity exceeds these levels due to natural
background conditions, the discharge level cannot cause any increase in the turbidity in the receiving water.
**** Acute Toxicity (Pimephales promelas) 24 hour static test Monitoring, Episodic, See Part III, Condition E.
***** Monitoring shall be conducted during the first five discrete discharge events after the effective date of this Permit, and then on an annual
basis thereafter, with the annual period beginning January of the next calendar year. The annual test must be performed and reported by June
30. If no discharge occurs by June 30, notification must be made to the Division by this date, and monitoring must be performed on the next
discharge event for the annual monitoring requirement.
****** See Part III, Condition F.
The pH shall not be less than 6.0 standard units nor greater than 9.0 standard units and shall be monitored 2/month at the effluent by grab
samples.
There shall be no discharge of floating solids or visible foam in other than trace amounts.

rPart lII Permit No. NC0032891
D. ENGINEERING ALTERNATIVES ANALYSIS CONDI HON
The permittee shall continuously evaluate all wastewater disposal alternatives and pursue the most
environmentally sound alternative of the reasonably cost effective alternatives. If the facility is in
substantial non-compliance with the terms and conditions of the NPDES permit or governing rules,
regulations or laws, the permittee shall submit a report in such form and detail as required by the
Division evaluating these alternatives and a plan of action within sixty (60) days of notification by
the Division.
E. ACUTE TOXICITY MONITORING (EPISODIC)
The permittee shall conduct FIVE acute toxicity tests using protocols defined as definitive in
E.P.A. Document 600/4-85/013 entitled "The Acute Toxicity of Effluents to Freshwater and
Marine Organisms." The monitoring shall be performed as a Fathead Minnow (Pimephales
promelas) 24 hour static test, using effluent collected as a single grab sample. Effluent samples
for self -monitoring purposes must be obtained below all waste treatment. Sampling and
subsequent testing will occur during the first five discrete discharge events after the effective date
of this permit. After monitoring of the first five toxicity tests, the permittee will conduct one test
annually, with the annual period beginning in January of the next calendar year. The annual test
requirement must be performed and reported by June 30. If no discharge occurs by June 30,
notification will be made to the Division by this date. Toxicity testing will be performed on the
next discharge event for the annual test requirement.
The parameter code for this test is TAE6C. All toxicity testing results required as part of this
permit condition will be entered on the Effluent Discharge Form (MR-1) for the month in which it
was perfoiixied, using the appropriate parameter code. Additionally, DEM Form AT-1 (original) is
to be sent to the following address:

Dear Mr. Articola:
The Permits and Engineering Unit has completed a preliminary engineering review of the
subject application.
The following items must be addressed before we can complete our review:
1. The submitted application package is not clear on what the maximum flow the
proposed infiltration gallery is to handle. Please confirm the proposed gallon per day per square
foot infiltration flow, and the soils ability to accept this rate must be confirmed by a soil scientist. (
only gallery trench bottom can be calculated as per State procedures)
2. Concerns have been voiced that lead from past use of leaded gasoline may also be a
contaminant of the effected groundwater. Please address the possible presence of lead in the
groundwater and how it will be dealt with.
3. The proposed remediation system is different from what is usually seen by this office
for this type of project, and the submitted application is not clear on exactly what type of
contaminant is to be cleaned up. Please confirm if the groundwater is was contaminated with
gasoline or oil or other, and if oils what grades were they likely to have been. The proposed UV
remediation may not work on heavy oils.
4. Please address the effects of the proposed peroxide treatment on the reinfiltrated
groundwater.
5. Please provide a groundwater flow map of the subject site.

6. Please address what percentage of the contamination will be removed by the
pretreatment prior to discharge into the infiltration gallery.
Refer to the subject permit application number when providing the requested information.
Also, please note that failure to provide this additional information on or before July 20, 1992 will
subject your application to being returned as incomplete in accordance with 15 NCAC 2H .0208.

permit is the 24 hour average flow, averaged monthly. It is
determined as the arithmetic mean of the total daily flows
recorded during the calendar month.
g. Arithmetic Mean: The arithmetic mean of any set of
values is the summation of the individual values divided by
the number of individual values.
h. 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).
i. 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.

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

Part III Continued
Permit No. NC0032891
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.
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/1.
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
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 ➢ischarge 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.
➢ . 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/I, 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

Part III Continued
Permit No. NC0032891
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 hulk terminals are
capable of meeting this "daily maximum" limitation as stated
above, certain of their facilities cannot he 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.
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.
b. 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 similar 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.

With reference to your letter of February 21, 1986, and July 3, 1986, the
Division has reviewed our action concerning the subject permits. Based on this
review, we are hereby modifying the subject permits to reflect the monitoring
conditions required prior to the request for a name change. Upon expiration
of the subject permits, the effluent monitoring requirements will be changed
to reflect our current requirements.
As you have observed, the Groundwater monitoring requirements is general
in nature. This statement is standard boiler plate material since the State has
now classified its groundwater.
With reference to your questions regarding the requirement for a certified
operator at these facilities. Please be advised that a certified operator is
required, normally a Class 1. The old permits for the Charlotte and Selma
terminal required a certified operator. The Greensboro terminal lists this
requirement as "not applicable." Upon expiration of the Greensboro terminal
permit, the new permit will require a certified operator. Mr. John Campbell,
Operator Training and Certification Supervisor, can be contacted at 733-5083
concerning certification of the operators at the Charlotte and Selma terminals.

provided in N. C. G. S. 143-215.6 and 33 USC 1251 et seq..

Part III
Permit No. NC
A. Previous Fermi
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 governs discharges from this
facility.
B. Construction
No construction of wastewater treatment facili+ies 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. If no objections to final
plans and specifications have been .nade by the Division of Environmental
Management within 60 days following acknowledgement that a complete set
of final plans and specifications has been received, the plans may be
considered approved and construction authorized.
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 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 be
required to determine the compliance of this NPDES permitted facility
with the current groundwater standards.
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 mon-
itoring 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 periods each
individually exceed 30 mg/1.
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 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.
M15 & 112

Permit No. NC
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 representative
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/1; 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.

it
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 Permi•ttee 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 States Constitution.

B. 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 governs discharges from this
facility.
C. 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. If no objections to Final
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
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.
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/1; 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/1.
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 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.
M 15 & I 12

Page of
Perm -t No. NC 0032891
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 auy sd-mple
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 L,A.
shall be deemed to have been exceeded if either:
a- The arithmetic average of the analyses of all represen ative
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/I; 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 explanation 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" limitation as stated above, certain
of their facilities cannot be so equipped to meet this limitation.
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.

PART III Cont.
Page of
Permit No. NC 0032891
It is recognized that influent quality changes, equipment malfunction,
or other circumstances may sometimes result in effluent concentrations
exceeding the permit limitations despite the excercise of appropriate
care and maintenance measures, and corrective measures by the permittee.
The pernittee 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 deterntning appropriate enforcement measures, if any, to be taken.
4. A calendar day is defined as any consecutive 24-hour period.
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.
S, 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.

Part II DESCRIPTION lF EXISTING TREATMENT WORKS
In the past year some modifications have been made to the wastewater
treatment facilities described in the present NPDES Permit No. NC 0032d9
However, the point of discharge has not been changed.
The existing wastewater treatment facilities consist of a mud trip. an
oil/water separator, and a wet well with two (2) submersible pumps.
Surface runoff and oil spillage from a truck loading zone flows into a
mud trap, which collects debris and sediment. then to an oil/water separator.
Oil is skinned off the surface and stored inan underground tank for
reprocessing. Wastewater is drained from the bott of the tank into a
wet well. From here it is pumped into a spill containment dike. Accumulated
storm runoff and the wastewater pumped from the wet well is periodically
drained from the dike, by opening adrain valve, and discharged to surface
waters,

Dear Mr. Gri7
PERM
Enclosed is a completed NPDES permit renewal application for Phillips
Pipe Line Company's Charlotte Terminal. Phillips Pipe Line Company is a
wholly owned subsidiary of Phillips Petroleum Company.
Phillips requests a waiver from all of the reporting requirements in
Part A of the permit application form with the exception of flow. Phillips
feels that the reporting of quantitative data for these pollutants is not
appropriate for a facility of this type, which is exclusively involved with
the storing and transferring of petroleum products. This argument is sup-
ported by EPA's settlement of Texaco's Adjudicatory Hearing Request for
Petroleum Marketing Terminals in 1976. In this settlement, EPA concluded
that the major parameter of concern for petroleum marketing terminals is
oil and grease and that monitoring for other parameters was generally in—
appropri te.
This argument is also supported by previously issued NPDES permits
by the North Carolina Division of Environmental Management in which the only
limited parameter was oil and grease. Since oil and grease is the only para-
meter limited, in Charlotte Terminal's current NPDES permit, it is the only
parameter for which data are available. In order to comply with the permit
application requirements without the requested waiver, much analytical testing
will be required to provide data of dubious value.
Please note that the old Outfall 001 has been eliminated at Charlotte
Terminal and that old 0utfalls 002 and 003 have been renumbered to 001 and
002, respectively. Stormwater from. the truck loading area is treated in
a. mud trap and an oil/water separator and is now routed to the tank dike
Area for Tanks 203 and 201 prior to discharge. Since the truck loading area
runoff is now discharged to this tank dike, sampling and analysis will now
be performed at the new Outfall 001 (old Outfall 002).

Mr.
Neil Gr'
December 1. 1981
Discharge Outfall 002 (old outfall 003) is a valved drain outlet for
the tank dike area for Tank 401. This outlet is occasionally used to
drain rainwater which has accumulated inside the dike during excessive rain-
fall. Since the draining of this water is performed in accordance with pro-
cedures specified in the terminal's SPCC plan, this outfall was previously
determined to not be subject to NPDES permitting requirements. For this
reason, no analytical data were available or are presented for this outfall.
Phillips would greatly appreciate the timely and favorable consideration
of the requested waiver. It is felt that the granting of the waiver will re-
sult in a permit that will continue to adequately protect the quality of the
receiving waters.
If there are any questions regarding this matter, please contact Jim
enson at [phone].

A. MANAGEMENT REQUIREMENTS
1. Change in Discharge
All discharges authorized herein shall be consistent with the terms and
conditions of this permit. The discharge of any pollutant identified
in this permit more frequently than or at a level in excess of that
authorized shall constitute a violation of the permit. Any anticipated
facility expansions, production increases, or process modifications which
will result in new, different, or increased discharges of pollutants must
be reported by submission of a new NPDES application or, if such changes
will not violate the effluent limitations specified in this permit, by
notice to the DEM of such changes. Following such notice, the permit
may be modified to specify and limit any pollutants not previously limited.
2. Non compliance Notification
If, for any reason, the permittee does not comply with or will be unable
to comply with any effluent limitation specified in this permit, the per-
mittee shall provide the Division of Environmental Management with the
following information, in writing, within five (5) days of becoming aware
of such condition:
a. A description of the discharge and cause of noncompliance; and
b. The period of noncompliance, including exact dates and times; or,
if not corrected; the anticipated time the noncompliance is expected
to continue, and steps being taken to reduce, eliminate and prevent
recurrence of the noncomplying discharge.
Facilities Operation
The permittee shall at all times maintain in good working order and
operate as efficiently as possible all treatment or control facilities
or systems installed or used by the permittee to achieve compliance with
the terms and conditions of this permit.
4. Adverse Impact
The permittee shall take all reasonable steps to minimize any adverse
impact to navigable waters resulting from noncompliance with any effluent
limitations specified in this permit, including such accelerated or
additional monitoring as necessary to determine the nature and impact of
the noncomplying discharge.
Bypassing
Any diversion from or bypass of facilities necessary to maintain compliance
with the terms and conditions of this permit is prohibited, except (i) where

Dear Mr. Knight:
cations
Phillips Petroleum Company is submitting the attached NPDES permit
applications for two Pb 11ips Pipe Line Company terminals (Charlotte
Terminal and Greensboro Terminal) and for one Phillips Petroleum
Company Terminal (Selma Terminal).
It has been brought to our attention that NPDES permits may be needed
for water drainage from diked storage areas. Previously, it was Phillips
belief that this type of rainfall runoff discharge was exempt from
NPDES permit requirements and, therefore, applications were not submit
ted for the discharge points even though procedures for draining
rainwater accumulated within the diked areas were addressed i.n the
terminals' SPCC plans.
In reviewing these terminals' wastewater handling and treatment systems,
it was discovered that each terminal discharges stormwater runoff from
the truck loading area after it has been treated in an oil/water separator.
Philips regrets the delay in submitting these permit applications.
Please direct all correspondence regarding the permit applications or
permits to the undersigned. If there are any questions regarding the
applications, please contact Ray Stall at [phone].
Very truly yours,

Description of Wastewater Treatment System
Stormwater from the truck loading area is contained and is treated
in a mud trap and an oil water separator. Separator effluent flows
through a catch basin prior to discharge. Recovered product is re—
turned to storage.
The product storage area is diked to provide adequate spill protection.
Each diked storage area is equipped with valved outlets. Water from
Tank 301 and Tank 202 storage area drains into the Tank 203 and Tank
201 area. The valved outlets for the storage areas for Tank 401 and
for Tank 203 and Tank 201 are kept locked. If sufficient water ac—
cumulates within these diked areas, the water is checked for oil and,
if none is present, the water is drained. The draining of water from
these diked storage areas is performed in accordance with procedures
specified in the terminal's SPCC plan.
