Dear Mr. Sullivan:
The Division of Water Quality (the Division) received your site map and letter of July 30 stating your
intent to store ethanol in bulk at the subject facility. A permit modification is not required.
We understand that you intend to store this new fuel product in existing Tank #6 and monitor any
potential environmental impact utilizing your existing Water Pollution Prevention Plan under the
subject NPDES permit. The Division concurs with your assessment that changing the contents from
petroleum to ethanol in Tank #6, as monitored through permitted Outfall 001, does not require a
formal modification of your existing permit.
No further action is required. If you have questions, or if we can further assist you, please contact Joe
Corporon at [Joe.Corporon@ncmail.net] or call (919) 807-6394.
Respectfully,

Ms. Sprinkle:
The referenced bulk petroleum storage terminal facility, owned and operated by
Kinder Morgan Southeast Terminals, LLC, respectfully submits this notification
for changing the contents of one bulk storage tank (Tank #6) from petroleum to
ethanol. The change in contents is necessary to support ethanol storage and
loading activities at the referenced facility. The attached site map identifies the
location of Tank #6 (indicated by a yellow star).
Stormwater Outfall 001 (also denoted on site map) receives stormwater from the
bermed area that contains Tank #6. Per the requirements of existing NPDES
Permit No. NC0000795, Outfall 001 is currently monitored on an annual basis for
acute toxicity.
Since Tank #6 is an existing tank (i.e. not newly constructed) and acute toxicity
monitoring is currently performed at the NPDES outfall associated with the
bermed area that contains Tank #6 (Outfall 001), it is our understanding (per
communication with NCDENR - Division of Water Quality personnel) that
changing the contents of a tank from petroleum to ethanol does not require a
formal modification to the existing permit.
