1. No later than 270 days from the effective date of this permit, the permittee shall begin
submitting discharge monitoring reports electronically using the Division's eDMR
application system [see A. (4.)].
2. Flow shall be monitored with each discharge event — During periods of no flow, the
Permittee shall submit a signed, monthly Discharge Monitoring Report (DMR) indicating •
"No discharge." Flow may be monitored using any one of four methods:
a) measure flow continuously (via flow meter, totalizer preferred);
b) calculate flow (see Rational Equation) based on total rainfall per
unit area draining to the outfall [see A. (3.)];
c) estimate flow at 20-minute intervals during the entire discharge
event; or
d) report flow based on discharge pump logs.
3. This sample to be collected concurrently with annual Acute Toxicity.

Permit NC0046531
4. Turbidity — Effluent shall not cause receiving stream turbidity to exceed 50 NTU. If receiving -stream
background exceeds 50 NTU, the effluent shall not increase background levels. Non-compliance with this
Standard may require additional stream monitoring and a Turbidity Corrective Action Plan (TCAP).
5. Naphthalene — Provided that the Permittee can demonstrate to the Division that its facility does not now,
nor has ever, stored diesel fuel or other heavy fuels onsite, it may petition to remove this requirement from
the permit.
6. 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 DWR to modify this
permit.

Permit NC0046531
A. (2.) ACUTE TOXICITY MONITORING (ANNUAL)
[15A NCAC 02B .0500 et seq.]
The permittee shall conduct acute toxicity tests on an annual basis using protocols defined as definitive
in EPA Document EPA-821-R-02-012 entitled "Methods for Measuring the Acute Toxicity of Effluents
and Receiving Waters 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 during representative effluent discharge and shall be performed at the
NPDES permitted final effluent discharge below all waste treatment processes.
The parameter code for Pimephales promelas 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, DWR Form AT-1 (original) is to be
sent to the following address:
Attention: North Carolina Division of Water Resources
Water Sciences Section/Aquatic Toxicology Branch
1623 Mail Service Center -
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1623
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 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 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.

Permit NC0046531
A. (3.) FLOW MEASUREMENT RATIONAL [G.S. 143-215.1(b)]
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 (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.

Permit NC0046531
A. (4.) ELECTRONIC REPORTING OF DISCHARGE MONITORING
REPORTS [G.S. 143-215.1(b)]
Proposed federal regulations require electronic submittal of all discharge monitoring reports (DMRs)
and specify that, if a state does not establish a system to receive such submittals, then permittees must
submit DMRs electronically to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The Division anticipates
that these regulations will be adopted and is beginning implementation in late 2013.
NOTE: This special condition supplements or supersedes the following sections within Part II of this
permit (Standard Conditions for NPDES Permits):
• Section B. (11.)
• Section D. (2.)
• Section D. (6.)
• Section E. (5.)

reporting discharge monitoring data electronically using the NC DWR's Electronic Discharge
Monitoring Report (eDMR) internet application.
Monitoring results obtained during the previous month(s) shall be summarized for each month and
submitted electronically using eDMR. The eDMR system allows permitted facilities to enter
monitoring data and submit DMRs electronically using the internet. Until such time that the state's
eDMR application is compliant with EPA's Cross -Media Electronic Reporting Regulation
(CROMERR), permittees will be required to.submit all discharge monitoring data to the state
electronically using eDMR and will be required to complete the eDMR submission by printing,

ATTENTION: Central Files / eDMR
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617
If a permittee is unable to use the eDMR system due to a demonstrated hardship or due to the facility
being physically located in an area where less than 10 percent of the households have broadband
access, then a temporary waiver from the NPDES electronic reporting requirements may be granted
and discharge monitoring data may be submitted on paper DMR forms (MR 1, 1.1, 2, 3) or
alternative forms approved by the Director. Duplicate signed copies shall be submitted td the
mailing address above.
Requests for temporary waivers from the NPDES electronic reporting requirements must be
submitted in writing to the Division for written approval at least sixty (60) days prior to the date the
facility would be required under this permit to begin using eDMR. Temporary waivers shall be valid
for twelve (12) months and shall thereupon expire. At such time, DMRs shall be submitted
Page7of8

Permit NC0046531
electronically to the Division unless the permittee re -applies for and is granted a new temporary
waiver by the Division.
Information on eDMR and application for a temporary waiver from the NPDES electronic reporting
requirements is found on the following web page:
http://portal.ncdenr.org/web/wq/admin/bog/ipu/edmr
Regardless of the submission method, the first DMR is due on the last day of the month following
the issuance of the permit or in the case of a new facility, on the last day of the month following the
commencement of discharge.
2. Signatory Requirements [Supplements Section B. (11.) (b) and supersedes Section B. (11.) (d)1
All eDMRs submitted to the permit issuing authority shall be signed by a person described in Part II,
Section B. (11.)(a) or by a duly authorized representative of that person as described in Part II,
Section B. (11.)(b). A person, and not a position, must be delegated signatory authority for eDMR
reporting purposes.

Facility Summary
This facility is an industrial (flow <1 MGD) collecting stormwater from a Surface -Water Pollution
Prevention System in proximity to above -ground storage tanks (ASTs). Facilities include surface bulk -
storage of petroleum hydrocarbon fuels in excess of one million gallons and fuel -truck loading racks. There
are no significant changes to this facility since the last permit renewal. The facility consists of the
following wastewater treatment units:
• Oil/water separator
• Carbon adsorption
• Polishing pond
Monthly average FLOW (MGD) — Last 36 months Mar2012-Feb2015:
[Ave 0.110 MGD; Maximum, Monthly average flow = 0.406 MGD;
Minimum, Monthly average flow = 0.002]
Toxicity — This permit requires Acute Toxicity Monitoring testing using Pimephales promelas to be
performed on an annual basis as a 24-hour static [TAE6C]. The facility has passed toxicity monitoring in
March 2015. The 2013 and 2014 did not indicate pass/fail on DMR and the attached effluent toxicity
reporting form AT-1 did not indicate pass/fail. However, the forms indicated zero mortality (0%).
Compliance History — The facility had a TSS limit violation with 110 mg/L (limit 45 mg/L) in October
2013.
Fact Sheet
Renewal 2015 -- NPDES Permit NC0046531
Page 1

For Renewal — This permit reflects discharge at Outfall 001. DWR updated the following:
• added updates to facility map, outfall locations and parameter codes
• added Monthly Average Limit of 30.0 mg/L for Total Suspended Solids (TSS)
• for Oil & Grease [00556] the parameter code remains the same for submitting DMR/eDMR, but EPA
method 1664 (SGT-HEM) is used with results in mg/L
• replaced Phenol (single compound) [34694] with Total Recoverable Phenolics [32730]
• added Electronic Reporting - Discharge Monitoring Reports page Section A. (4.).
Stream — Discharge from WWTP for Outfall 001 is into an unnamed tributary to Gum Branch [Stream
Segment 11-120-5]. The segment is not listed in the 2014 North Carolina Integrated report or 303(d) list.
RPA — A Reasonable Potential Analysis (RPA) was conducted on Turbidity (34694) because Discharge
Monitoring Reports (DMRs) reported concentration below method -detection levels (MDLs) for the past four
and a half (4'/2) years (Sept2011-Feb2015) of data. [MTBE, Toluene, Benzene, Ethyl benzene, Single
Compound Phenol, Naphthalene, EPA Method 625, and Xylene were below method -detection levels — see
attachment]
Turbidity did not show reasonable potential to violate state WQS; however, since the predicted
maximum effluent concentration was greater than 50% of the allowable concentration quarterly
monitoring was maintained.
