Dear Ms. Bothwell:
The Division has received and reviewed your request to eliminate the Manganese limit in the
subject permit. The NC 2007-2014 Water Quality Standard (WQS) Triennial Review was approved by the
US EPA on April 6, 2016 with some revisions. The approved WQS no longer includes a standard for
Manganese. This modification 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). Insert the attached page into your
permit and discard the old page.
This modified permit includes the following changes from your current permit:
➢ The Manganese limit has been deleted, effective 9/1/2016.
If any parts, measurement frequencies or sampling requirements contained in this 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 in the form of a written petition, conforming to
Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes, and 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.
This permit is not transferable except after notice to the Division. The Division may require
modification or revocation and reissuance of the permit. This permit does not affect the legal requirements
to obtain other permits which may be required by any other Federal, State, or Local governmental
regulation. If you have any questions concerning this matter, please contact Charles H. Weaver at (919)
807-6391 or via e-mail [[e-mail]].
Sincerely
S. Jay Zimmerman, P.G.

Footnotes:
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 weir or flow meter (totalizer preferred);
b) calculate flow (see Rational Equation ) [see A. (3.)] based on total rainfall per unit area draining to the outfall;
c) estimate flow at 20-minute intervals during the entire discharge event; or
d) report flow based on discharge pump logs.
3. 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).
4. WET -test samples shall be collected concurrently with other POC samples, as appropriate to monitoring
frequencies.
5. Oil and Grease with EPA Method 1664 (SGT-HEM] — Where possible, the grab sample for oil and grease
should be skimmed from the surface of a quiescent (calm water) zone.
6. 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, it may petition to remove monitoring for naphthalene.
7. Acute Toxicity (Ceriodaphnia dubia) Pass/Fail Limit, Quarterly during the months of January, April, July
and October [see section A. (2.)].

Ori,
We will be sending letters to all permittees with Manganese limits addressing this in the near future. I spoke with
Jennifer Bothwell explaining that there is no longer a Manganese standard. I mentioned to her that she should discuss
this with the regional office about any enforcement discretion in regard to applying a Manganese limit until such time
that we can send out letters. I'm forwarding this to Charles. He has or will be sending out letters for WTP that had
Manganese limits.

Mr. Tuvia,
Permit NC0022187 for the Motiva Enterprises LLC Charlotte North Terminal contains a monthly average limit of 200 ug/L
for Manganese. It has come to our attention that in April the EPA agreed with NCDENR's request to remove the
Manganese limits. Therefore, Motiva is requesting removal of this limit from permit NC0022187.
Please contact me if you would like to discuss this request.
