During the period beginning on the effective date of the permit and lasting until expiration, the Permittee is authorized to discharge
stormwater- from outfall(s) serial number 001. Such discharges shall be limited and monitored by the Permittee as specified below.
Effluent Cliaracteristics Discharge .Limitations Monitoring' Requirements
Measurement Sample Sample
Monthly Avg.. Weekly .Avg. Daily Max. Frequency 'ray Location
hlowt Monthly t Effluent
Total Suspended Solids 4 5.0 mgll Monthly Grab Effluent
Oil and Grease2 Monthly Grab Effluent
Benzene 71 .4 µgd Monthly Grab Elllucnt.
Xylene Semi-annually Grab Effluent
EPA Methods 624/625 Semi-annually Grab Effluent.
Acute Toxicity3 Annually Grab Effluent
Footnotes:
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.
3 Acute Toxicity (Fathead Minnow, 24-hour) Monitoring, Annual, See Part II1, Condition E.
']'here shall be no discharge of floating solids or visible foam 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 contents following hydrostatic testing unless the benzene coneentration is less than 71.4 ug/l and the toluene
concentration is less than I 1 ug/l.

Part III Permit No. NCO005771
E. ACUTE TOXICITY MONITORING (ANNUAL)
The permittee shall conduct annual 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
(Prrnephales 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

Raleigh, N.C. 27607
Test data shall be compiete 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.
