Subject: Draft NPDES Permit NC0031046
Colonial Pipeline Company — Greensboro Junction
Grade I Physical Chemical WPCS
Guilford County
Dear Mr. Smith:
The Division has reviewed your request to renew the subject permit. Please review this draft carefully to ensure a
thorough understanding of the information, conditions, and requirements it contains.
The draft permit includes the following significant changes from the existing permit:
1. The facility classification Grade I Physical Chemical Water Pollution Control System (WPCS) was
added to the effluent page.
2. The following limits have been removed based a reasonable potential analysis (RPA) of DMR data:
a. Outfall 001: Total Recoverable Phenolics
b. Outfall 003: Total Recoverable Phenolics and Benzene
c. Outfall 004: Total Recoverable Phenolics, Benzene and Toluene
d. Outfall 005: Total Recoverable Phenolics and Benzene.
3. The Turbidity limits and footnote were removed from the effluent tables for Outfalls 001, 002, 003,
004, and 005. The Turbidity water quality standard will be maintained in the permit as a narrative
condition for instream monitoring. See Condition A. (6.).
4. The practical quantitation limits (PQL) footnote was removed. This requirement is covered by a
condition in NPDES Standard Conditions Part II. Section D. (4.).
5. Concurrent sampling with WET testing is no longer required.
6. The Acute WET test condition was updated. See Condition A. (9.).
7. The electronic reporting permit special condition A. (10.) was updated. Footnote 1 for electronic
reporting was updated for Conditions A. (1.) through A. (6.).
Please note that East Fork Deep River is listed as an impaired waterbody on the North Carolina 303(d) Impaired
Waters List. Addressing impaired waters is a high priority with the Division, and instream data will continue to be
evaluated. If there is noncompliance with permitted effluent limits and stream impairment can be attributed to
your facility, then mitigative measures may be required.

4. Where possible, the grab sample for Oil & Grease should be skimmed from the water surface of a
quiescent (calm water) zone.
5. Turbidity — Effluent turbidity shall not cause receiving -stream turbidity to exceed 50 NTU. If background
turbidity naturally exceeds 50 NTJ, the effluent shall not cause background turbidity to increase. Any
discharge exceeding this permit limit will require sufficient instream sampling (upstream and/or
downstream) to verify compliance (effluent vs. background). [NCAC 02B. 0211(21)]

A. (9.) ACUTE TOXICITY PASS/FAIL PERMIT LIMIT (QUARTERLY)
[15A NCAC 02B .0200 et seq.]
The permittee shall conduct acute toxicity tests on a quarterly basis using protocols defined in the
North Carolina Procedure Document entitled "Pass/Fail Methodology For Determining Acute
Toxicity In A Single Effluent Concentration" (Revised December 2010, or subsequent versions). The
monitoring shall be performed as a Fathead Minnow (Pimephales promelas) 24-hour static test. The
effluent concentration at which there may be at no time significant acute mortality is 90% (defined as
treatment two in the procedure document). The tests will be performed during the months of
January, April, July, and October. These months signify the first month of each three-month
toxicity testing quarter assigned to the facility. Effluent sampling for this testing must be obtained
during representative effluent discharge and shall be ormed at tII DES permitted final effluent
discharge below all treatment processes.
Should any single quarterly monitoring indicate a failure to meet specifie 'mits, then monthly
monitoring will begin immediately until such time that a single test is passe . on passing, this
monthly test requirement will revert to quarterly in the months specified abo
All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit condition will be entered electronically using

Total residual chlorine of the effluent toxicity sample must be measured and reported if chlorine is
employed for disinfection of the waste stream.
Should there be no discharge of flow from the facility during a month 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 Water Sciences Section at the address cited above.
Should the permittee fail to monitor during a month in which toxicity monitoring is required, then
monthly monitoring will begin immediately until such time that a single test is passed. Upon passing,
this monthly test requirement will revert to quarterly in the months specified above. Assessment of

toxicity compliance is based on the toxicity testing quarter, which is the three-month time interval
that begins on the first day of the month in which toxicity testing is required by this permit and
continues until the final day of the third month.
Should any test data from either these monitoring requirements or tests performed by the North
Carolina Division of Water Resources 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 ument, such as minimum
control organism survival and appropriate environmental contr all constitute an invalid test and
will require immediate follow-up testing to be completed n an the last day of the month
following the month of the initial monitoring.
