Subject: Issuance of NPDES Permit NC0046531
Charlotte Terminal, Grade I
7720 Mount Holly Road
Mecklenburg County
Dear Mr. Carlisle:
The Division of Water Quality (the Division) hereby issues the attached NPDES permit for the subject
facility. This permit is issued pursuant to the requirements of North Carolina General Statute 143-
215.1 and the Memorandum of Agreement between North Carolina and the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency dated October 15, 2007, or as subsequently amended.
The Division notes that since last renewal you have not modified your wastewater treatment system.
We have therefore made only one change to your previous permit, and that is to correct a previous
error in units of measure — the limit for Benzene of 1.19 mg/L (—parts per million) has been corrected
to 1.19 µg/L (—parts per billion) — a typographical error.
If any parts, measurement frequencies, or sampling requirements contained in this permit are
unacceptable, you have the right to an adjudicatory hearing, upon written request submitted within
thirty (30) days after receiving this letter. Your request must take the form of a written petition
conforming to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes, and you must file it with the
office of Administrative Hearings, 6714 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-6714.
Unless such a demand is made, this permit shall be final and binding.
This permit is not transferable except after notifying the Division of Water Quality. The Division may
require permit modification, or revocation and re -issuance. Please note that this permit does not affect
your legal obligation to obtain other permits required by the Division of Water Quality, the Division of
Land Resources, the Coastal Area Management Act, or other federal or local governments.

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) calculate flow (see Attachment A. (4.) Rational Equation) based on total rainfall per unit area draining to
the outfall; exclude built -upon areas (best method for facilities 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. Turbidity- Effluent shall not cause receiving stream turbidity to exceed 50 NTU, If receiving stream background
turbidity exceeds 50 NTU, effluent shall not cause this background value to increase.
3. Oil and Grease — Where possible, the grab sample for oil and grease should be skimmed from the surface of a
quiescent (calm water) zone.
4. MTBE — See Part A. (2.) for other requirements relating to MTBE
5. EPA Method 625- Once the facility has collected data for 12 consecutive sample events in which there have been
no detections above the method detection limit, the Permittee may request DWQ to modify this permit.
6. Acute Toxicity (Fathead Minnow, 24-hour), Annual [see Special Condition A. (3.)].
The Permittee shall discharge no floating solids or foam visible in other than trace amounts.
The Permittee shall discharge no tank solids, tank bottom water, or the rag layer.
Following hydrostatic testing, the Permittee shall discharge no tank (or pipe) contents unless benzene
concentration test less than 1.19 µg/L and toluene concentration test less than 11 µg/L.

Permit NC0046531
A. (2.) MTBE MONITORING - SPECIAL CONDITION
For the protection of public health, oil terminals discharging to waters classified as water supply (WS) waters
shall monitor Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether (MTBE) for the duration of this permit.
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.
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 samplds 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 Section
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.

A. (4.) FLOW MEASUREMENT RATIONALLE
The Rational Equation: Q=KuCIA, where:
Q=
Ku =
c=
I=
flow (peak flow rate (cfs or m3/sec)
units conversation factor = 1.008 for U.S. standard units (usually ignored
because it is so close to 1), or 0.278 for SI units
dimensionless runoff coefficient for the watershed, loosely defined as the
ratio of runoff to rainfall
intensity of rainfall taken from the intensity -duration -frequency curves
for the specified design return period at the time of concentration, tc
(in/h or mm/h). tc = time of concentration (time after the beginning of
rainfall excess when all portions of the drainage basin are contributing
simultaneously to flow at the outlet).
A = area of tributary watershed (acres or km2)
The rational equation is used to calculate the runoff from a region, given:
• the runoff coefficient which accounts for infiltration and other potential
losses in the region,
• the rainfall intensity to the region,
• the time it takes for runoff to travel from the region's upper reaches to its
outlet, and the region's drainage area.

• DWQ rescinded thhs p it, at the Permittee's request, on June 30, 2004. According to RIMS,
this facility has pre ced no monitoring data (February 2004 - September 2010).
• DWQ's Change of Ownership issued May 7, 2010 offers no changes to the previous permit limits
or monitoring conditions. According to the renewal application, Short Form C (received July 14,
2010) there have been no changes to the facility since last renewal, and its intended future use
remains fuel hydrocarbon bulk storage.
• Renewal at this time will therefore instigate no changes to the previous permit, except to correct
the following typographic error:
o Limit for Benzene of 1.19 mg/L (—parts per million) has been corrected to 1.19 µg/L
(—parts per billion)
• DWQ recalculated Phenol Allocations for Bulk Storage discharges to the Gum Branch (WS-IV)
while this facility was inactive (see MEMO September 8, 2005). With this facility reinstated, the
Division should consider updating the Sept. 8 memo to include one (1) additional discharger to
share the allocation. At this time there is no active facility / no data to revise these calculations.

Subject: Renewal of NC0046531, Refuel Terminal Operations - Refuel America
Attachments: T1,LLC-4.jpg; T1,LLC-1.jpg; T1,LLC-2.jpg
Gentlemen,
As was noted in a July 2009 letter, the facility had been sold by auction to Charlotte Terminal I, LLC. This
letter asked the Registered Agent for a status update on the facility and the continued need for NPDES permit
NC0046531. DWQ has not received a response to date from the new owner of the Refuel America facility.
The previous owner is no longer listed as a company on the Secretary of State's Corporation look -up website.
A review of the Mecklenburg GIS on 2/16/10 found that Charlotte Terminal I, LLC is still the owner of the facility
and still a valid business entity in NC as per the Secretary of State's website. There has not been a change in
the registered agent for the company since the DWQ letter was sent in July 2009.
Since Samar was going to be in the area yesterday I asked him to stop by and see if there was any activity
occurring which would require the NPDES permit. The photos he took of the terminal are attached. It appears
that the terminal is still shutdown. A query of the neighboring facilities found some activity had occurred in the
past (probably when the facility was acquired by Charlotte Terminal I, LLC) but that no activity had occurred
recently at the site.
Therefore, if DWQ does not receive a request to renew NC0046531 by the new owner I believe the permit
should be rescinded. Since the previous owner does not exist there can be no renewal request from it.

Subject: whither NC0046531?
This permit expires on May 31, 2010. Its renewal application is overdue.
I sent the renewal package to our point -of -contact (John Funk / Refuel America) and it was returned (Attempted — Not
Known / Unable to Forward).
The current Billing affiliation (Floyd Reid) has the same address as John Funk (P.O. Box 78, Paw Creek); I doubt that
address is any good. Also, the Permittee has not been billed for an Annual Fee since 2003.
The current owner affiliation is Kit Bryan, whose mailing address is in Charlotte; Bryan's phone number is for an office in
Fort Pierce, FL. Bryan is a business broker, and doesn't appear to be an employee of Refuel America.
ReFuel America is now a subsidiary of NewGen Technologies, Inc., though the company website hasn't been updated in
a couple of years (http://www.centerestate.com/refuel/). I sent a query to the website today — hopefully some human
will respond.
No one has inspected the site since 2002 [per BIMS].
They haven't submitted a DMR since January 2007.
Any idea what's going on there?
I'd be grateful for any info you can share.
Thanks,
CHW

.0034 DEFNfIONS
The loBowkng definitions dial apply throughout this Subchapter.
(1) Activated Carbon Beds. A phrslcalichemkal method for reducing soluble organic material from wastewater eltiuert; The column -type beds used In this
method wit! have a flow rate varying from two to eight gallon per minute per square loot and may be either upfiow or dowrdlow carbon beds. Carbon may or
may not be regenerated on the wastewater treatment plant site;
(2) Aerated Lagoons. A basin In which al solids are maintained In suspension and by which biological oxidation or organic matter is reduced through artificially
accelerated transfer of oxygen on a flow -through bask;
(3) Aeration. A process d bringing about intimate contact between air or high purity oxygen an a liquid by spraying. agitation or dtfiuslon, 3a) Extended
Aeration An activated sledge process utilizing a minknum hydraulic detention time of 18 hours.
(4) Agriculturally managed site. Any site on which a crop Is produced, managed, and harvested (Crop frcfudes greases, grains, uses, etc.);
(5) AN Stripping. A process by which the ammonium ion is first convened to dissolved ammonia (pH adjustment) with the armnonfa then released to the
atmosphere by physical means; or other similar processes which remove petrof.um products such as benzene, toluene, and xylem;
(8) Carbon Regeneration. The regeneration of exhausted carbon by the use of a furnace to provide extremely high terrtperaturres which volatilize and oxidize the
absorbed impurities;
(7) Carbonaceous Stage. A stage of wastewater treatment designed to achieve "secondary effluent limits;
(8) Centrifuge. A mechanical twice In which centrifugal force Is used to separate solids from liquids or b separate Squids of different der sites;
(9) Chemical Addition Systems- The addition d chemical(s) ro wastewater at an appRcadon point for purposes of hnprorving solids removal, pH adjustment,
alkalinity control, etc.; the capab!Rry 10 experiment wlth afferent chemicals and dtff.rsnt appLcadon points to arlisee a apeclfic result wit be combated one
swam; the capability to add chemical(s) to dual urtca will be reed as one system; capabMky to add a chemical at a different application points for different
purposes will result In the systems being rated as separate systems;
(10) Chemical Skrdg. Condittiring. The addittlon of a chemical compound such as Ems, ionic chloride, or a polymer to wet wedge b coalesce the mass prior to
Its application to a dowels -ring device;
(11) Closed Cycle Systems Use of hoiding ponds or holding tarns for containment of wastewater containing inorganic. non -toxic materials from sand, gravel,
crushed store or otter similar op.ratbna. Such systems shah carry a maximum of two points regardless of pumping facilities or any other appunenanoes;
(12) Combined Removal d Carbonaceous BOD and Nitrogenous Removal by N><rtfbatbn- A single stags system required to achieve permit effluent Grits an BOD
and ammonia nitrogen within the same biological reactor;
(13) Dechorfnatbn. The partial or complete reduction of residual chorine In a liquid by any chemical or physical process;
(14) Denttrification Process. The conversion of Nina.-nhrog.n to rrtrog.n gas;
