Permit NC0000795 A. (1.) EFFLUENT LIMITATIONS AND MONITORING REQUIREMENTS Beginning on the effective date of the permit and lasting until expiration, the Permittee is authorized to discharge from Outfall 001. Such discharges shall be limited and monitored by the Permittee as specified below: EFFLUENT LIMITS : MONITORING REQUIREMENTS Sample Type.. Sample Location CHARACTERISTICS Monthly Average Daily Maximum Measurement Frequency Flow1 Episodic 1 Effluent Total Suspended Solids 45.0 mg/L Monthly Grab Effluent Oil and Grease2 Monthly Grab Effluent Phenol 0.003 lbs./day3 Monthly Grab Effluent Benzene Monthly Grab Effluent Toluene Monthly Grab Effluent Ethyl Benzene Monthly Grab Effluent Xylene Monthly Grab Effluent EPA 625 2/Year Grab Effluent MTBE4 Monthly Grab Effluent Acute Toxicity5 Annually Grab Effluent Footnotes: 1. Flow — During periods of no flow, the Permittee shall submit a monthly Discharge Monitoring Report (DMR) indicating "No discharge." Flow shall be monitored with each discharge event and may be monitored in one of four ways: a) measure flow continuously; b) Rational Method -- calculate flow based on total rainfall per area including built -on area draining to the outfall (shall not be used at sites with large runoff -collection ponds); c) estimate flow at 20-minute intervals during the entire discharge event; or d) report flow based on discharge pump logs. 2. Oil and Grease — Where possible, the grab sample for oil and grease should be skimmed from the surface of a quiescent (calm water) zone. 3. Phenol — Compliance to this limit shall begin one (1) year from the permit effective date. The Division will consider a request to remove this limit if the permittee submits additional data (minimum 12 data points) for Reasonable Potential Analysis. Permittee shall contact a North Carolina -certified laboratory to establish a minimum Practical Quantitation Limit (PQL) for phenol. 4. MTBE — See Part A.(2.) for other requirements relating to MTBE 5. Acute Toxicity (Fathead Minnow, 24-hour), annually [see Special Condition A.(3.)]. Units: mg/L = milligrams per liter µg/l = micrograms per liter lbs./day = pounds per day MTBE = methyl tertiary butyl ether The permittee shall discharge no floating solids or foam visible in other than trace amounts. The permittee shall not discharge tank solids, tank bottom water, or the tank rag layer. The permittee shall not discharge tank (or pipe) contents following hydrostatic testing unless benzene concentration is less than 1.19 AWL and toluene concentration is less than 11 µg!L. Permit NC0000795 EFFLUENT LIMITATIONS AND MONITORING REQUIREMENTS SPECIAL CONDITIONS A. (2.) MTBE MONITORING For the protection of public health, oil terminals discharging to waters classified as water supplies ("WS" waters) shall adhere to the following action plan: 1. Monthly monitoring for MTBE (except as modified under 2.) is required for the duration of the permit [See Part A. (1.)]. 2. After a one-year Test Period of monthly monitoring or after twelve (12) discharge events have been sampled and analyzed, the Permittee shall review MTBE data. If MTBE is not detected, the facility may request the Division to reduce the MTBE monitoring frequency. Granting this request shall constitute a minor modification to the NPDES permit. 3. If MTBE is detected during the Test Period, the Permittee shall submit an MTBE Reduction Plan. This plan may include site -specific Best Management Practices (BMPs) or engineering solutions. A copy of this plan shall be submitted to: North Carolina Division of Water Quality Water Quality Section Attn: NPDES Unit 1617 Mail Service Center Raleigh, NC 27699-1617 4. The Division anticipates that an MTBE regulatory criterion or Water Quality Standard will be established during the coming permit cycle. For the next cycle of permit renewals, the Division expects to apply this criterion or standard to MTBE data collected during this permit cycle. Should the permittee's MTBE data indicate discharge in excess of this criterion or Water Quality Standard, an MTBE limit will be added to the permit monitoring requirements at renewal. Permit NC0000795 EFFLUENT LIMITATIONS AND MONITORING REQUIREMENTS SPECIAL CONDITIONS A. (3.) ACUTE TOXICITY MONITORING (ANNUAL) The Permittee shall conduct annual toxicity tests using protocols defined as definitive in EPA 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 (Pimephales 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 period beginning in January of the calendar year of the effective date of the permit. The annual test requirement must be performed and reported by June 30. If no discharge occurs by June 30, notification will be made to the Division by this date. Toxicity testing will be performed on the next discharge event for the annual test requirement. The parameter code for this test is TAE6C. All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit condition will be entered on the Effluent Discharge Form (MR-1) for the month in which it was performed, using the appropriate parameter code. Additionally, DWQ Form AT-1 (original) is to be sent to the following address: Attention: North Carolina Division of Water Quality Environmental Sciences Branch 1621 Mail Service Center Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1621 Completed Aquatic. Toxicity Test Forms shall be filed with the Environmental Sciences Branch no later than 30 days after the end of the reporting period for which the report is made. Test data shall be complete 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 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.
