Box 66 Paw Creek, North Carolina 28130 �EHNF Subject: NPDES Permit Issuance Permit No. NC0032891 Paw Creek Terminal Mecklenburg County Dear Mr. Rich: In accordance with the application for discharge permit received on February 19 1996, the Division is forwarding herewith the subject state - NPDES permit. 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 December 6, 1983. Based on comments received by the Division on May 13, 1996, the following corrections and clarifications to your NPDES permit have been made: a) The supplement to permit cover sheet has been changed to reflect the discharge of stormwater only through outfalls 001 and 002. b) A revised map has been included indicating the correct location of outfalls 001 and 002. c) The monthly monitoring requirements for benzene and phenol have been removed from the effluent limitations page as have the monitoring requirements for all chlorophenolic compounds. Division inadvertantly applied the permitting strategy for discharges to "WSS" class waters your facility. d) The acute toxicity requirement has been changed to an annual test. e) Xylene monitoring should be conducted on a semi-annual basis as recommended by the Hearing Officer. If any parts, measurement frequencies or sampling requirements contained in this permit are unacceptable to you, you have the right to an adjudicatory hearing upon written request within thirty (30) days following redeipt of this letter.

EFFLUENT LIMITATIONS AND MONITORING REQUIREMENTS Permit No. NC0032891 During the period beginning on the effective date of the permit and lasting until expiration, the Permittee is authorized to discharge stormwater from outfall(s) serial number 001. Such discharges shall be limited and monitored by the Permittee as specified below: Effluent Characteristics Discharge Limitations Monitoring Requirements Measurement Sample Sample Monthly Avg.

Flow may be monitored in one of four ways: a) Measure flow continuously, b) Calculate flow based on the area draining to the outfall, the built upon area, and the total rainfall (this method of flow measurement should not be used at facilities that have large ponds to collect surface water runoff), c) Estimate by flow measurement at 20 minute intervals during the entire discharge event, or d) Base flow on pump logs. 2 Where possible, the grab sample for oil and grease should be skimmed from the surface of a quiescent (calm water) zone. 3 Acute Toxicity (Fathead Minnow, 24-hour) Monitoring, Annual, See Part III, Condition E. There shall be no discharge of floating solids or visible foam in other than trace amounts. There shall be no direct discharge of tank solids, tank bottom water, or the rag layer. There shall be no direct discharge of tank contents following hydrostatic testing unless benzene concentration is less than 71.4 ug/1 and toluene concentration is less than l 1 ug/1.

Part III Permit No. NC0032891 E. ACUTE TOXICITY MONITORING (ANNUAL) The permittee shall conduct annual toxicity tests using protocols defined as definitive in E.P.A. 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, DEM Form AT-1 (original) is to be sent to the following address: Attention: Environmental Sciences Branch North Carolina Division of Water Quality 4401 Reedy Creek Rd. Raleigh, N.C. 27607 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. Failure to submit suitable test results will constitute noncompliance with monitoring requirements.
