She is being somewhat compliant. So far, we. have only gotten one monitoring report from the site, and I am expecting another one soon. Her consultant (information below) did submit a task authorization pre -approval for $100 to obtain the necessary NPDES permit (if they turn the system back on). The Task Authorization was approved by Raleigh, and I sent him back the signed authorization. You may not be familiar with the UST Trust Fund, but at this time all work at Roscoe's Grocery is Trust Fund reimbursable, including necessary permits. When the consultant submitted the task authorization I did explain to him that the permit had lapsed and that he should contact the DWQ about any other fees that may be associated with the lapsed permit. Hope this helps, and please let me know if you receive their paperwork.

Box 29535 Raleigh, NC 27626-0535 Re: Renewal of NPDES Permit NC0085014 Roscoe's Grocery, Iredell County BPA No. 0214.002 Dear Mr. Weaver: 2641-G Randleman Road Greensboro, NC 27406-5159 (336) 272-9713 January 29, 1999 On December 21, 1998, your office informed Mrs. Anne Cain that the subject permit was going to expire on July 31, 1999 and that a renewal for the permit needs to be submitted to your office, postmarked no later than February 1, 1999. On behalf of Mrs. Cain, and duly authorized by; her, BPA Environmental & Engineering, Inc. (BPA) is providing you with the information requested by your office. The letter from Mrs. Cain authorizing BPA to act as her Authorized Representative is attached. A brief history of the site's permit application history is described below. - - Site History On May 15, 1995, BPA submitted an application for a General NPDES Permit (NCG 51000) to discharge treated petroleum contaminated groundwater at the Roscoe's Grocery site. Because of the presence of di -isopropyl ether (DIPE) and methylene chloride -'in several early groundwater samples collected at the site, the Water Quality Section determined an Individual Permit was more appropriate for the treatment system discharge. On December 11, 1995, the State issued NPDES Permit No. NC 0085014 for the site. The .treatment system was installed in July -August 1997 and brought online on August 19, 1997. The system has operated almost continually since that time. A chronology of the system installation, maintenance, and sampling is attached. s Mr. Charles H. Weaver, Jr. January 29, 1999 Page 2 Request for General Permit Status Under the Individual Permit, Mrs. Cain was required to sample the effluent weekly for the first two months and then twice per month thereafter. The existing permit also requires that the effluent be sampled for Oil and Grease and methylene chloride, and pass a chronic toxicity test (P/F at 90 %) every quarter. The NPDES Permit sampling requirements and limitations are summarized in Table 1. Since the inception of treatment, no methylene chloride has been detected in the effluent samples above the method detection limit (5 ppb), and no other organic compounds have been detected in the effluent above a detection limit of .5 ppb. Low levels of oil and grease have been detected sporadically. The effluent has passed the 90 % P/F level ;of the chronic toxicity test every quarter the test has been performed. The system effluent sampling results are summarized in Table 2. The groundwater at the site has been sampled four times since the system was started in August 1997. Methylene chloride has not been detected in any of the samples during any of these sampling events. Compounds associated with gasoline continue to be the predominant contaminant and the levels of those compounds continue to decrease at most sampling locations.. A summary of the groundwater analytical results are shown in Table 3. Based on the results of the effluent and groundwater sampling events which have taken place over the last year and a half, we are requesting the Water Quality Section consider changing the current Individual NPDES Permit to a General NPDES Permit. We spoke with Ms. Karen Connell, MRO UST Section, and Mr. Mike Parker, MRO Water Quality Section, about changing to a General Permit and they have both given their verbal approval. Sampling Requirements Based on our knowledge of the site, its sampling history, and Mrs. Cain's concern for the environment, we would like to suggest the following sampling requirements: (1) Continue to sample the effluent twice per month for the petroleum related compounds, flow, and pH. Mrs. Cain is very concerned that should the system fail for some reason, monthly sampling would not provide rapid enough notification that a problem exists. (2) Continue to sample the effluent by EPA Method 6230-D. We have already established a sample analysis history using this method. Changing the method may create confusion due to different detection limits and different compounds analyzed. This is the same A X i L i Mr. Charles H. Weaver, Jr. January 29, 1999 Page 3 - method we use to analyze the groundwater samples. This allows a good comparison between "what's going in" and "what's coming out" of the system. This method has a detection limit of .5 ppb for all compounds of concern. (3) Continue to require weekly inspections of the system. History has taught us that these systems require continuous maintenance to maintain their efficiency and to stay online. The most efficient rate of cleanup depends on continuous operation of the system such that optimum drawdown and steady state flow of contaminants to recovery wells are maintained. Because the system does not have a continuous rate flow meter, we can also monitor the flow on.a more regular basis. (4) Eliminate the Oil and Grease, methylene chloride, and chronic toxicity limitations. Sludge Management Plan The Permit is for the discharge of petroleum of petroleum contaminated groundwater. The system consists of a transfer tank, air stripper, carbon tanks, and associated pumps and plumbing. No sludge is generated in the treatment process. The old carbon is taken off site and regenerated. After reviewing this request, please call me or Ed Hedgecock if you have any questions. Sincerely yours, BPA ENVIRONMENTAL & ENGINEERING, INC.

Their letter states that they have already discussed the request with Karen Connell (MRO-UST) and Mike Parker. Please let me know what you think. It looks like this facility originally applied for general permit coverage back in 1995, but was put into an imdividual permit due to hits of methylene chloride and DIPE (a gasoline additive). I took a quick look at the data, and it looks like the site history indicates a former gas station (petroleum contamination), but no activity indicating heavy solvent use (which generally pushes it into individual permit status). Recent data for groundwater monitoring wells shows no detections of methylene chloride. Not sure if older hits were due to lab contamination, which is common for methylene chloride.

Box 29535 Raleigh, NC 27626-0535 Re: Renewal of NPDES Permit NC0085014 Roscoe's Grocery, Iredell County BPA No. 0214.002 Dear Mr. Weaver: 2641-G Randleman Road Greensboro, NC 27406-5159 (336) 272-9713 January 29, 1999 On December 21, 1998, your office informed Mrs. Anne Cain that the subject permit was going to expire on July 31, 1999 and that a renewal for the permit needs to be submitted to your office, postmarked no later than February 1, 1999. On behalf of Mrs. Cain, and duly` authorized by her, BPA Environmental &:Engineering, Inc. (BPA) is providing you with the information requested by your office. The letter from Mrs. Cain authorizing BPA to act as her Authorized Representative is attached. A brief history of the site's permit application history is described below. Site History On May 15, 1995, BPA submitted an application for a General NPDES Permit (NCG 51000) to discharge treated petroleum contaminated groundwater at the Roscoe's Grocery site. Because of the presence of di -isopropyl ether (DIPE) and methylene chloride in several early groundwater samples collected at the site, the Water Quality Section determined an Individual Permit was more appropriate for the treatment system discharge. On December 11, 1995, the State issued NPDES Permit No. NC 0085014 for the site. The .treatment system was installed in July -August 1997 and brought online on Augusts 19, 1997. The system has operated almost continually since that time. A chronology of the system installation, maintenance, and sampling is attached. _,, _ f Mr. Charles H. Weaver, Jr. January 29, 1999 Page 2 Request for General Permit Status Under the Individual Permit, Mrs. Cain was required to sample the effluent weekly for the first two months and then twice per month thereafter. The existing permit also requires that the effluent be sampled for Oil and Grease and methylene chloride, and pass a chronic toxicity test (P/F at 90 %) every quarter. The NPDES Permit sampling requirements and limitations are summarized in Table 1. Since the inception of treatment, no methylene chloride has been detected in the effluent samples above the method detection limit (5 ppb), and no other organic compounds have been detected in the effluent above a detection limit of .5 ppb. Low levels 'of oil and grease have been detected sporadically. The effluent has passed the 90 % P/F level of the chronic toxicity test every quarter the test has been performed. The system effluent sampling results are summarized in Table 2. The groundwater at the site has been sampled four times since the system was started in August 1997. Methylene chloride has not been detected in any of the samples during any of these sampling events. Compounds associated with gasoline continue to be the predominant contaminant and the levels of those compounds continue to decrease at most sampling locations. A summary of the groundwater analytical results are shown in Table 3. Based on the results of the effluent and groundwater sampling events which have taken place over the last year and a half, we are requesting the Water Quality Section consider changing the current Individual NPDES Permit to a General NPDES Permit. We spoke with Ms. Karen Connell, MRO UST Section, and Mr. Mike Parker, MRO Water Quality Section, about changing .to a General Permit and they have both given their verbal approval. Sampling Requirements Based on our knowledge of the site, its sampling history, and Mrs. Cain's concern for the environment, we would like to suggest the following sampling requirements: (1) Continue to sample the effluent twice per month for the petroleum related compounds, flow, and pH. Mrs. Cain is very concerned that should the system fail for some reason, monthly sampling would not provide rapid enough notification that a problem exists. (2) Continue to sample the effluent by EPA Method 6230-D. We have already established a sample analysis history using this method. Changing the method may create confusion due to different detection limits and different compounds analyzed. This is the same 1 �• V Mr. Charles H. Weaver, Jr. January 29, 1999 Page 3 method we use to analyze the groundwater samples. This allows a good comparison between "what's going in" and "what's coming out" of the system. This method has a detection limit of .5 ppb for all compounds of concern. (3) Continue to require weekly inspections of the system. History has taught us that these systems require continuous maintenance to maintain their efficiency and to stay online. The most efficient rate of cleanup depends on continuous operation of the system such that optimum drawdown and steady state flow of contaminants to recovery wells are maintained. Because the system does not have a continuous rate flow meter, we can also monitor the flow on a more regular basis. (4) Eliminate the Oil and Grease, methylene chloride, and chronic toxicity limitations. Sludge Management Plan The Permit is for the discharge of petroleum of petroleum contaminated groundwater. The system consists of a transfer tank, air stripper, carbon tanks, and associated pumps and plumbing. No sludge is generated in the treatment process. The old carbon is taken off site and regenerated. After reviewing this request, please call me or Ed Hedgecock if you have any questions. JMS/cwm cc: A.

Act or "the Act" The Federal Water Pollution Control Act, also known as the Clean Water Act, as amended, 33 US 125.1, 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 Measuremen 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 meanof 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 I identified as "daily average" in the text of Part I. f. 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. g. 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. Part 11 Page 3 of 14 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 Sample 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 tetweeneffluent 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 theproduct 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. ITIPUTTMIMMI"M A' hazardous substance means any substance designated under 40 CFR Part 116 pursuant to Section 311 of the Clean Water Act. 12.

SECTION C. OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OF POLLUTION CONTROLS �� . �j• a� 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. Suchoperator 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, Chapter 8A .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 MA,, Chapter 8A .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. Part II Page 8 of 14 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 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 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..By ap ssin„g 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 fora 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). i 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 11 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 toprevent 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.
