Ross, Jr., Secretary Alan W. Klimek, P.E., Director December 22, 2005 Mr. Robert Sullivan Kinder Morgan Southeast Terminals, LLC 1435 Windward Concourse Alpharetta, GA 30005 Subject: Issuance of NPDES Permit NC0032891 Kinder Morgan Southeast Terminals — Charlotte Terminal #1 Mecklenburg County Dear Mr. Sullivan: Division personnel have reviewed and approved your application for renewal of the subject permit. Accordingly, we are forwarding the attached NPDES discharge 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 May 9, 1994 (or as subsequently amended). This final permit includes the following changes from the draft permit sent to you on July 6, 2005: • The monitoring frequency for phenol has been changed to monthly for outfalls 001 and 002 . This change was made in keeping with North Carolina's updated permitting strategy regulating discharges from petroleum bulk storage facilities. Neither outfall has an associated limit for its discharge of phenol, based upon the facility's discharge history. • More extensive footnotes have been added; however, their content is essentially the same as found in the draft and in your current permit. • For outfall 002 (only) the frequency for Acute Toxicity testing has been increased from annual to quarterly monitoring. This change was based upon application of the updated strategy mentioned above with respect to the toxicity discharge history of this outfall. Results of toxicity testing from outfall 002 have yielded results of an LC50 of less than 100% in three of the past five years. The Division will be willing to consider a request to reestablish an annual monitoring frequency for this parameter upon the submittal of 5 consecutive quarterly results with an LC50 of >100%. • In a transmittal letter to the previous permittee dated July 30, 2001, the Division informed the permittee with regard to EPA Method 625 testing: "if your facility collects eight to ten samples in which none of the 625 compounds are detected, you may submit a request to the Division that this sampling requirement be eliminated." While entries have been made on the DMRs showing the 625 testing has been conducted, complete results of the analyses have not always accompanied the DMRs for each outfall, and therefore the Division could not conduct a complete examination of the record to determine the continued need for this monitoring. If you can provide adequate records from each outfall for such a review and the results meet the standard noted above, the Division will be willing to modifiy the permit to remove the requirement for EPA Method 625 monitoring. 1617 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617 512 N.

Permit NC0032891 Footnotes for Outfalls 001 & 002 1. Flow 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; b) calculate flow (see Rational Equation below) 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." The Rational Equation: Q=KuCIA, where: Q = flow (peak flow rate (cfs or m3/sec) Ku = 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 C = dimensionless runoff coefficient for the watershed, loosely defined as the ratio of runoff to rainfall I = 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. 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. 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. 4. Acute Toxicity Outfall 001 (Fathead Minnow, 24-hour), Annual [see Special Condition A.(3.)].. 5. Acute Toxicity Outfall 002 (Fathead Minnow, 24-hour), Quarterly [see Special Condition A.(4.)]. The facility may request the monitoring frequency be changed to annual upon the completion of 5 consecutive quarterly tests with no demonstration of toxicity (i.e., the last 5 consecutive tests have "passed" or demonstrate a LC50 of >100%). The Permittee shall collect Acute Toxicity samples concurrently with BTEX sampling. There shall be no discharge of floating solids or foam visible 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 (or pipe) contents following hydrostatic testing unless benzene concentration is less than 1.19 µg/1 and toluene concentration is less than 11 µg/1. Permit NC0032891 EFFLUENT LIMITATIONS AND MONITORING REQUIREMENTS SPECIAL CONDITIONS A. (3.) ACUTE TOXICITY MONITORING (ANNUAL) OUTFALL 001 The Pennittee 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. Permit NC0032891 A. (4.) ACUTE TOXICITY MONITORING (Quarterly) OUTFALL 002 The permittee shall conduct quarterly acute 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 tests will be performed on a discharge event during each quarter (January -March, April -June, July -September, October -December). Should there be no discharge of flow from the facility during a quarter in which toxicity monitoring is required, the permittee will complete the information located at the top of the aquatic toxicity (AT) test form indicating the facility name, permit number, pipe number, county, and the month/year of the report with the notation of "No Flow" in the comment area of the form. The report shall be submitted to the Environmental Sciences Section at the address cited below. 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, N.C. 27699-1621 Completed Aquatic Toxicity Test Forms shall be filed with the Environmental Sciences Section no later than 30 days after the end of the reporting period for which the report is made.

New owner Kinder Morgan Southeast Terminals, LLC (KMST) owns several bulk storage facilities in the state of North Carolina. Effluent water discharged from the outfall consists of stormwater from the secondary containment areas (around the individual tanks) and discharge water following hydrostatic testing. The stormwater is released via one of two outfalls on site. Inspection reports on file from 2001 and forward report that loading rack water and tank bottom water are contained on -site and then hauled off to a private contractor for final treatment and disposal. FILE REVIEW Correspondence Correspondence files from 2003 — 2005 were reviewed. During this time period, the Mecklenburg County Department of Environmental Protection (MCDEP) performed three inspections. Overall, the facility is depicted as being adequately maintained. Effluent limitations were exceeded for turbidity and TSS on one occasion each during the time period. Inspection reports also cited the facility for some administrative shortcomings (monitoring frequencies, reporting issues, etc.). DMR Review: DMRs were reviewed from January 2003 through August 2005. The average discharge flow at 001 was 0.2693 MGD; at 002 it was 0.1489 MGD. Both have the same frequency of discharge. During 2003 and 2004 concentrations for all parameters except for turbidity and TSS were routinely reported to be at less than detection levels. Data revealed violations for turbidity occurred in April 2003 and for TSS in July 2004. Oil & Grease showed only one detectable hit for each pipe, both occurring during March 2004. Fact Sheet NPDES N00032891 Renewal Page I The facility reported collecting samples and performing the EPA Method 625 analysis on the DMRs (mostly as non detects), but the actual values were not available for review with the DMRs. Since 2001, outfall 001 has shown good performance with the acute toxicity tests. The reported LC50 in 2001 was 73.9, but was >100% from 2002 through 2005. For outfall 002, it reported >100% in 2003 and 2005, but in the other years reported 84.4, 85.7 and 83 as the result of annual testing. Reasonable Potential Analysis: A reasonable potential analysis was performed during the last permit cycle for turbidity that led to including a limit of 50 NTU in the permit. An RPA was reperformed for Turbidity during this renewal period. The data indicate that effluent from both outfalls have the potential to exceed the stream standard of 50 NTU. The maximum predicted turbidity at 001 was 173.3 NTU; the maximum predicted turbidity at 002 was 57 NTU. Permitting Strategy The permitting strategy for this and all oil terminals in the state is based upon a 2005 NPDES document entitled, "NPDES Permitting Requirements for Petroleum Bulk Storage — Surface Storage Greater than One Million Gallons 2005 Permitting Strategy." This document is an update to the Division's 2001 permitting strategy for such facilities. It delineates monitoring frequencies and permitting limits for contaminants commonly found at these sites. This document is heretofore referred to as the "2005 SOP." Waste Load Allocation (WLA). The last waste load allocation was performed in 1991, when the receiving stream was classified C waters. Gum Branch has since been re-classified to WS-IV waters (confirmed with Aldridge Renn of the Classifications and Standards Unit, 3/5/01). This WLA recommends BTE, lead and MTBE monitoring and TSS and oil and grease limits. Oil Terminal SOP: • The flow, TSS, and oil and grease requirements specified in the previous permit and the 2005 SOP remain unchanged. Footnotes have been updated where applicable. • Although the SOP calls for BTEX parameters to be monitored monthly, the permit has reduced the monitoring frequency to quarterly because there has been no detection for these parameters during the last permit cycle. • The limit for benzene as found in the previous permit has been dropped for the same reason. • The facility will be required to continue to conduct the EPA 625 analysis for both outfalls because not enough data were found attached to the DMRs that would allow for a complete evaluation of the need for discontinuing this testing. The facility will be informed they can ask to have the requirement removed upon the submittal of sufficient data that show none of the constituent parameters are detected in the effluent. • Footnotes regarding tank bottom water and hydrostatic testing have been added/updated per the suggested language in the 2005 SOP. • MTBE monitoring has been reduced to quarterly because it was not detected in the discharge during the previous permit cycle. • Turbidity monitoring and limits have been maintained as in the current permit for the reasons mentioned in the RPA discussion above. Fact Sheet NPDES NC0032891 Renewal Page 2 . • Requirements for monitoring and limits for phenol were established pursuant to the memorandum regarding phenol loading from petroleum bulk storage facilities that accompanied the 2005 SOP because it does discharge to water supply waters. Using the calculation provided in the memo, an allowable wasteload concentration was established and a reasonable potential analysis was performed based upon that concentration. Updated analysis performed by Joe Corporon established a 0.48 lbs/day phenol loading for each of the bulk storage facilities discharging into water supply waters from the Paw Creek area. The load for this discharge is then shared by the two outfalls. Calculations for each of the outfalls follow. Calculation for 001: 0.24 lbs/day x 1 = 0.107 mg/1 8.34 0.2693 MGD Calculation for 002: 0.24 lbs/day x 1 = 0.193 mg/1 8.34 0.1489 MGD Phenol was not detected in the effluent of either outfall during the period of review. Therefore, the limit that had been included in the previous permit was dropped, but pursuant to the 2005 SOP, monthly monitoring for phenol has been retained. • Toxicity As a result of the toxicity performance noted in the DMR review discussion above, outfall 001 shall retain its annual toxicity monitoring requirement (no limit). However, due to the performance at outfall 002, application of the toxicity policy stated in the 2005 SOP calls for increasing monitoring frequency for acute toxicity testing to quarterly. An appropriate attachment was obtained from the Aquatic Toxicology Unit to include in the permit for outfall 002. The facility will be informed that it may ask that the requirement be returned to annual monitoring upon the submittal of five consecutive tests showing an LC50 of >100%. SCHEDULE FOR PERMIT ISSUANCE Draft Permit to Public Notice: July 13, 2005 The initial drafting of this permit was done with the permit writer not knowing that the 2001 guidance for such facilities was being updated, so the permit was drafted using the 2001 SOP and other permit precedent as guides. Although it went to public notice, final action on the permit was held while the 2005 SOP was being drafted and approved. Once it was issued, the permit was reexamined in light of the terms of the new SOP and some changes were made. The permittee was made aware of the changes from the terms of the July 2005 draft that were being proposed. The permittee has expressed its agreement with the terms of the modified permit and has requested it be issued as modified. Unfortunately, because of the permit writer's inexperience, the Mooresville Regional Office was not provided with opportunity to comment on the draft permit before it went to public notice. They had provided a staff report that recommended renewal of the permit as requested. No objections to the terms of the permit were expressed by MRO upon its receipt of the initial draft, although they did comment about the departure from standard review procedure.

If you aren't disagreeable to its terms, I would like to have it issued next week. Thank you, Bob Original Message Subject: KMST Charlotte Terminal #1 NPDES Permit Date: Thu, 17 Nov 2005 13:58:29 -0500 From: Bob Sledge <bob.sledge@ncmail.net> To: Bob_Sullivan@kindermorgan.com Hello Mr. Sullivan, My name is Bob Sledge and I work with the North Carolina Division of Water Quality in its Western NPDES Unit. On July 6, 2005, I sent you a draft version of the permit for your Charlotte Terminal #1 (NPDES permit NC0032891), but since that time I haven't been a very good correspondent. I want to apologize for the lack of communication and provide you with an explanation and an update on the status of the permit. When I drafted the permit I was not aware that our staff was revising its permitting policy regarding petroleum bulk storage facilities. This was brought to my attention after I sent you the draft and I was directed to hold off on taking any final action until the permitting guidance was finalized. This was done in early September. Delays since that time fall on my shoulders as I digested the policy and applied it to permits that are my responsibility. I'm sorry for not providing you 1 of 2 12/16/2005 2:07 PM imap://bob.sledge%40dwq.denr.ncmail.net@cros.ncmail.net:143/fet... with updates on this situation and taking so long to move on this one. Application of the policy to the permit has caused some modification of its terms. A copy of a revised draft has been attached to this e-mail. I wanted to take this opportunity to tell you of the changes within this permit from the previous draft. For both outfalls, the policy calls for monthly monitoring for phenol. This is a change from the quarterly monitoring frequency found in the draft. As was in the July draft, this draft contains no limit for phenol. For both outfalls, the new draft contains more extensive footnotes, especially with regard to flow measurement. Most notes are the same in content as in previous permits. The biggest change you'll see on the attached draft is a change in the requirement for aquatic toxicology testing on outfall 002. The frequency has been changed from annual to quarterly per application of the policy, which requires this change if effluent monitoring shows anything less than an LC50 of >100% from these discharges during the previous 5 years. However, if the discharge exhibits no toxicity in the monitoring for five consecutive quarterly tests, the Division will consider your written request to have the required frequency again changed to annual monitoring. This change was made because acute toxicity testing from outfall 002 yielded an LC50 result of <100% in three of the last five annual tests. I wanted to make you aware of the changes we are proposing and give you the opportunity to comment on them. Unless I hear from you and it is determined that modifications can be made to the draft, I would like to issue this permit within a month's time, with an effective date of January 1, 2006. I truly regret any inconvenience these changes and delays have caused you and your company. Thank you for your patience in this matter.
