Dear Mr. Krshka:
NORTH CAROLINA

6/7/2021
Subject: Certificate of Coverage (COC) NCG510555
Under General Permit NCG510000 for the
Magellan Charlotte II Terminal
Mecklenburg County
General Permit Coverage. In accordance with your application to discharge treated groundwater
contaminated with fuel hydrocarbons, the Division of Water Resources (DWR or the Division) hereby
forwards this Certificate of Coverage (COC) to discharge under the subject NPDES general permit.
We issue this COC pursuant to the requirements of North Carolina General Statue 143-215.1 and the
Memorandum of Agreement between North Carolina and the US Environmental Protection Agency
(USEPA) dated October 15, 2007 (or as subsequently amended).
The following information is included with your permit package:
• A copy of the Certificate of Coverage for your treatment facility
• A copy of General Wastewater Discharge Permit NCG510000
• A copy of a Technical Bulletin for General Wastewater Discharge Permit NCG510000
• Engineer's Certification, to be signed and returned to DWR upon completion.
Future reporting under this COC shall compare all analytical results to Surface Water -Quality
Standards appropriate to a receiving -stream classified WS-IV. We note that site -assessment
analytical data (February 20, 2020) suggests that gasoline and diesel releases, appear to be the sources
of site contamination, and that chlorinated solvents may not be a problem in the subsurface. It should
also be noted that Outfall 007 is being transferred from individual NPDES permit NC0005185 to
coverage under general permit NCG510000. If additional chlorinated solvents are detected in the
future, you must apply immediately for an individual NPDES permit.
Based on the above, the General Permit's effluent monitoring Table A. (3.) applies to your facility as
having been impacted by sources of combined gasoline and diesel fuel with a design discharge flow
rate of 300 gpd (<0.05 MGD). Monitoring Tables A. (1.), A. (2.), A. (4.), A. (5.) and A. (6.) do not
apply.
At no time shall treatment -system operators allow contaminated (untreated) water to discharge to
surface waters of the State. At no time shall treated water discharge such that sediment is
transported and/or erosion occurs. The Measurement Frequency "Monthly Flow" is defined as total

DocuSign Envelope ID: D8637001-82CF-4E08-A19F-AAE521836987
treated effluent not -to -exceed one million gallons (1.0 MG) per month. This assumes that the
system utilizes a totalizing flow meter (or equivalent method) to determine and record total flow,
and report this value on quarterly Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMRs).
In accordance with your application for discharge and Corrective Action Plan (CAP), the Division
understands you propose to construct and operate a groundwater remediation system consisting of:
• Groundwater Recovery Wells
• An Oil/Water separators with a rated flow capacity of 25 gpm, a 9.4 minute detention time
and a free product disposal method that utilizes a 55 gallon drum for free product collection
• An air stripper that is present in the treatment building, but is bypassed due to facility air
permit requirements
• Two (2) carbon adsorption units; rate 30 gpm; in series; each 250-lbs; carbon breakthrough
time: 55 months
• Turbine flow meter
• An Effluent discharge line, and
• A Discharge outfall.
The above treatment works, located at Magellan Charlotte II Terminal, 924 Mount Holly Road,
Charlotte, NC, will be operated in accord with your discharge application, Notice of Intent (NOI), and
as described on your schematic and site plan. Treated groundwater shall discharge under receiving
stream zero -flow conditions (presumably, 7Q10 and 30Q2 = 0.0 cfs) ultimately to an unnamed
tributary to Long Creek [Stream Segment 11-120-(2.5)], a waterbody currently classified C; Trout
WS-IV within Subbasin 03-08-34 [HUC: 030501011403] of the Catawba River Basin, as documented
on the attached Site Map.
In the event that treatment facilities fail to perform satisfactorily, to include creating nuisance
conditions, the Permittee shall take immediate corrective action, including those actions as may be
required by this Division, such as the construction of additional or replacement wastewater treatment
or disposal facilities. Failure to abide by the requirements contained in this ATC may subject the
Permittee to an enforcement action by the Division of Water Resources in accordance with North
Carolina General Statute 143-215.6A to 143-215.6C.
Please notify Corey Basinger of the Division's Mooresville Regional Office (MRO) by telephone 704-
663-1699 at least three (3) working days in advance of operating the treatment -system so that he may
determine the need for final inspection requirements. Please contact MRO during the normal office
hours from 8:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday, excluding State Holidays.
NPDES Permit Contact. If you have questions concerning the requirements of this permit, please
contact the MRO or Derek Denard of the NPDES Unit, Raleigh at 919-707-3618.
If any parts, measurement frequencies or sampling requirements contained in this general permit are
unacceptable, you have the right to request an individual permit by submitting an individual NPDES
permit application. Unless such demand is made, the certificate of coverage 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

NPDES Permit NCG510000
PART II
STANDARD CONDITIONS FOR NPDES PERMITS
Section A. Definitions
2/Month
Samples are collected twice per month with at least ten calendar days between sampling events. These samples shall be
representative of the wastewater discharged during the sample period.
3/Week
Samples are collected three times per week on three separate calendar days. These samples shall be representative of
the wastewater discharged during the sample period.
Act or "the Act'
The Federal Water Pollution Control Act, also known as the Clean Water Act (CWA), as amended, 33 USC 1251, et.
seq.
Annual Average
The arithmetic mean of all "daily discharges" of a pollutant measured during the calendar year. In the case of fecal
coliform, the geometric mean of such discharges.
Arithmetic Mean
The summation of the individual values divided by the number of individual values.
Bypass
The known diversion of waste streams from any portion of a treatment facility including the collection system, which is
not a designed or established or operating mode for the facility.
Calendar Day
The period from midnight of one day until midnight of the next day. However, for purposes of this permit, any
consecutive 24-hour period that reasonably represents the calendar day may be used for sampling.
Calendar Week
The period from Sunday through the following Saturday.
Calendar Quarter
One of the following distinct periods: January through March, April through June, July through September, and
October through December.
Composite Sample
A sample collected over a 24-hour period by continuous sampling or combining grab samples of at least 100 mL in
such a manner as to result in a total sample representative of the wastewater discharge during the sample period. The
Director may designate the most appropriate method (specific number and size of aliquots necessary, the time interval
between grab samples, etc.) on a case -by -case basis. Samples may be collected manually or automatically. Composite
samples may be obtained by the following methods:
( I ) Continuous: a single, continuous sample collected over a 24-hour period proportional to the rate of flow.
(2) Constant time/variable volume: a series of grab samples collected at equal time intervals over a 24 hour period
of discharge and combined proportional to the rate of flow measured at the time of individual sample
collection, or
Variable time/constant volume: a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24 hour period with
the time intervals between samples determined by a preset number of gallons passing the sampling point. Flow
measurement between sample intervals shall be determined by use of a flow recorder and totalizer, and the
preset gallon interval between sample collection fixed at no greater than 1/24 of the expected total daily flow at
the treatment system, or
(4) Constant time/constant volume: a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24-hour period at a
constant time interval. Use of this method requires prior approval by the Director. This method may only be
used in situations where effluent flow rates vary less than 15 percent. The following restrictions also apply:
Influent and effluent grab samples shall be of equal size and of no less than 100 milliliters
Influent samples shall not be collected more than once per hour.
(3)

DocuSign Envelope ID: D8637001-82CF-4E08-A19F-AAE521836987
NPDES Permit NCG510000
Permittees with wastewater treatment systems whose detention time < 24 hours shall collect effluent grab
samples at intervals of no greater than 20 minutes apart during any 24-hour period.
Permittees with wastewater treatment systems whose detention time exceeds 24 hours shall collect effluent
grab samples at least every six hours; there must be a minimum of four samples during a 24-hour sampling
period.
Continuous flow measurement
Flow monitoring that occurs 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.
Daily Discharge
The discharge of a pollutant measured during a calendar day or any 24-hour period that reasonably represents the
calendar day for purposes of sampling. For pollutants measured in units of mass, the "daily discharge" is calculated as
the total mass of the pollutant discharged over the day. For pollutants expressed in other units of measurement, the
"daily discharge" is calculated as the average measurement of the pollutant over the day. (40 CFR 122.2; see also
"Composite Sample," above.)
Daily Maximum
The highest "daily discharge" during the calendar month.
Daily Sampling,
Parameters requiring daily sampling shall be sampled 5 out of every 7 days per week unless otherwise specified in the
permit. Sampling shall be conducted on weekdays except where holidays or other disruptions of normal operations
prevent weekday sampling. If sampling is required for all seven days of the week for any permit parameter(s), that
requirement will be so noted on the Effluent Limitations and Monitoring Page(s).
DWR or "the Division"
The Division of Water Resources, Department of Environment and Natural Resources.
Effluent
Wastewater discharged following all treatment processes from a water pollution control facility or other point source
whether treated or untreated.
EMC
The North Carolina Environmental Management Commission
EPA
The United States Environmental Protection Agency
Facility Closure
Cessation of all activities that require coverage under this NPDES permit. Completion of facility closure will allow this
permit to be rescinded.
Geometric Mean
The Nth root of the product of the individual values where N = the number of individual values. For purposes of
calculating the geometric mean, values of "0" (or "< [detection level]") shall be considered = 1.
Grab Sample
Individual samples of at least 100 mL collected over a period of time not exceeding 15 minutes. Grab samples can be
collected manually. Grab samples must be representative of the discharge (or the receiving stream, for instream
samples).
Hazardous Substance
Any substance designated under 40 CFR Part 116 pursuant to Section 311 of the CWA.
Instantaneous flow measurement
The flow measured during the minimum time required for the flow measuring device or method to produce a result in
that instance. To the extent practical, instantaneous flow measurements coincide with the collection of any grab
samples required for the same sampling period so that together the samples and flow are representative of the discharge
during that sampling period.
Monthly Average (concentration limit)
The arithmetic mean of all "daily discharges" of a pollutant measured during the calendar month. In the case of fecal
coli form or other bacterial parameters or indicators, the geometric mean of such discharges.

NPDES Permit NCG510000
Permit Issuing Authority
The Director of the Division of Water Resources.
Quarterly Average (concentration limit)
The arithmetic mean of all samples taken over a calendar quarter.
Severe property damage
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 excludes economic loss caused by delays in production.
Toxic Pollutant:
Any pollutant listed as toxic under Section 307(a)(1) of the CWA.
Upset
An incident beyond the reasonable control of the Permittee causing unintentional and temporary noncompliance with
permit effluent limitations and/or monitoring requirements. An upset does not include noncompliance caused by
operational error, improperly designed treatment facilities, inadequate treatment facilities, lack of preventive
maintenance, or careless or improper operation.
Weekly Average (concentration limit)
The arithmetic mean of all "daily discharges" of a pollutant measured during the calendar week. In the case of fecal
coliform or other bacterial parameters or indicators, the geometric mean of such discharges.
Section B. General Conditions
I. Duty to Comply
