Subject: Modification of NPDES Permit NC003289 1
Charlotte Terminal
Mecklenburg County
Dear Mr. Ysebaert:
On July 30, 2001 the Division of Water Quality (Division) issued a final permit for your facility. On
August 13, 2001, Becky Hesslen of Philips Pipe Line contacted Division personnel about some errors made
to the effluent limits page for outfall 002. The following change has been made accordingly:
• The monthly monitoring requirement for naphthalene has been deleted for outfall 002. Semi-
annual monitoring using EPA Method 625 replaces it. As per the hearing officer's report, 625 is the
best method for detecting naphthalene and other middle distillate compounds and is therefore a more
appropriate monitoring requirement. . 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.
Please find enclosed the revised permit pages. The revised pages should be inserted into
your permit. The old pages may then be discarded. All other terms and conditions contained in
the original permit remain unchanged and in full effect. This permit modification is issued under
the requirements of North Carolina General Statutes 143-215.1 and the Memorandum of
Agreement between North Carolina and the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency.
If any parts, measurement frequencies or sampling requirements contained in this permit modification
are unacceptable to you, you have the right to an adjudicatory hearing upon written request within thirty
(30) days following receipt of this letter. This request must be a written petition conforming to Chapter
150B of the North Carolina General Statutes, filed with the Office of Administrative Hearings (6714 Mail
Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-6714). Unless such demand is made, this decision shall be
final and binding.
If you have any questions concerning this permit modification, please contact Natalie Sierra at
[phone], extension 551.
Sincerely,
regory J. Thorpe

Footnotes:
1. Flow — During periods of no flow, the Permittee shall submit a monthly Discharge Monitoring Report
(DMR) indicating "No discharge." Flow may be monitored in one of four ways:
a) measure flow continuously;
b) calculate flow based on total rainfall per area draining to the outfall; exclude built -upon
area (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. 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. MTBE — Please see Part A.(4.) for additional requirements pertaining to MTBE.
5. Acute Toxicity (Fathead Minnow, 24-hour), Annual [see Special Condition A.(3.)].
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.

Natalie, as per our phone conversation, this is to advise you of an error
in the newly issued NPDES permit for the Charlotte Terminal. Permit
NC0032891 was issued July 30, 2001 by your office and contained the
following errors:
1. Naphthalene was not deleted for outfall 002
2. EPA Method 625 was not added for outfall 002
3. The frequency for monitoring Method 625 should be semi-annual for
outfall 002
One question I forgot to ask Is the new benzene limit strictly for
remediated discharge waters or does it include stormwater as well? Our
terminal discharges stormwater only.
Thanks -
