Subject: Draft NPDES Permit NC0073181
Wilmington River Road Terminal
Grade I Physical Chemical WPCS
New Hanover County
Dear Mr. Sturtz:
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 Turbidity limits were removed from the effluent table. The Turbidity water quality standard will
be maintained in the permit as a footnote narrative condition for instream.
3. The flow monitoring Footnote 3 has been updated.
4. Concurrent sampling with WET testing is no longer required.
5. The Acute WET test condition was updated. See Condition A. (3.).
6. The electronic reporting permit special condition A. (5.)was updated. Footnote 1 for electronic
reporting was updated for Condition A. (1.).
Please note that the Caper Fear 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.
The NPDES standard conditions (Parts II, III, and IV)that are a part of the permit are not included in
this draft document(cover,map, and Part I). The conditions are the same as in your current permit
except that agency and division names have been updated. The latest version is available at
https://bit.ly/2BZ4xxx and can be viewed online or downloaded as a PDF file.
With this notification, the Division will solicit public comment on this draft permit by publishing a
notice in newspapers having circulation in the general New Hanover County area, per EPA

requirements. Please provide your comments,if any,to me at the address below no later than 30
days after receiving this draft permit.
Following the 30-day public comment period,the Division will review all pertinent comments and take
appropriate action prior to issuing a final permit. If you have questions concerning the draft,please

2. All samples shall be taken at the discharge pump station.
3. Each discharge eve t shall be monit red for Flow volume and duration-During periods of no flow,the
Permittee shall su a signed,mo ly Discharge Monitoring Report(DMR) indicating "No discharge."
Flow may be doc ed using any ne of the following four(4)methods:
1) measure flow continuously via weir or flow meter(totalizer preferred);
2) estimate flow at 20-minufe intervals during the entire discharge event;
3) report flow based on-discharge pump logs;or
4) calculate flow based on total rainfall per unit area draining to the outfall using the Rational Method[see
formula, Section A.(2.)].
4. Where possible,the grab sample for oil and grease should be skimmed from the surface of a quiescent(calm
water)zone.
5. For the eDMR application system,any detections shall be reported by entering"1" [Yes(Y)=1] and no

6. Turbidity—Effluent turbidity shall not cause receiving-stream turbidity to exceed 25 NTU. If background
turbidity naturally exceeds 25 NTU,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)]
7. If Acute WET-test fails [TGE3E],Mysid Shrimp (Mysidopsis bahia),the Permittee shall test each subsequent
discharge event until testing indicates"pass,"after which Quarterly monitoring shall resume in accord with
Section A.(3). If after a subsequent five (5)consecutive Quarterly events,WET results demonstrate no
toxicity(i.e.,"pass"),the Permittee may petition the Division to rel itoring,as data may warrant.
Conditions:
• There shall be no discharge of floating solids or foam visib e trace amounts.
• Direct discharge of tank solids,tank bottom water,or rag ayer is no itted.
• Hydrostatic Tank Testing: The Permittee shall dis no "tank solids," no "tank bottom-water," no "tank

The Rational Method- Determination of Peak Runoff.
[REF: FHWA Urban Drainage Design Manual, 3.2.2.Ratz l Method(3-1)]
Q=KuCIA, where:
S(peak flow rate m3)
conversation factor= or U.S. standard units (usually
red because it is so close to 1), or 0.278 for metric units
nsionless runoff coefficient for the watershed, loosely defined

beginning rainfall excess when all portions of the drainage
basin are contributing simultaneously to outlet flow).
A = area of tributary watershed(acres or km2)
The rational equation is used to calculate the runoff from a region, given:
• the runoff coefficient(accounts for infiltration losses in the region),
• the rainfall intensity to the region,
• the time for runoff to travel from the region's upper reaches to its outlet,
and
• the region's drainage area.

A. (3.) ACUTE TOXICITY PASS/FAIL 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 Mysid Shrimp (Mysidopsis bahia) 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 montf January,April,July, and
October. These months signify the first month of each three-month tikcity testing quarter assigned to
the facility. Effluent sampling for this testing must be obtained during representative effluent discharge
and shall be performed at the NPDES permitted final effluent discharge below all treatment processes.
Should any single quarterly monitoring indicate a failure to meet specified limits,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.
All toxicity testing results required as part of this pet it conditio ' 1 be entered electronically using
the Division's eDMR system for the month in which it was perford, using the paer code
TGE3E. Additionally, DWR Form AT-2 (original) is to be sent to the following address:

Water Sciences Section/Aquatic Toxicology Branch
1621 Mail-Service Center ,
Raleig NC 27699-16k

Or,results can be sent to mail, [e-mail].
Completed Aquatic Toxicity Test Forms shall be filed with the Water Sciences Section no later than 30
days after the end of the reporting period for which the report is made.

Test data shall be complete, accurate, include all supporting chemical/physical measurements and all
concentration/response data, and be certified4 laboratory supervisor and ORC or approved designate
signature.
Total residual chlorin- of the effluent toxicity sample must be measured and reported if chlorine is
employed for disinf-, ' of the was* stream.
Should there be no discha _ - 1 sw from the facility during a month in which toxicity monitoring is
required,the permittee will c. slete 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
Page 5 of 8

NPDES Permit NC0073 181
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 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.
