Subject: Issuance of NPDES Permit NCO022209
Motiva Enterprises, LLC
Greensboro Terminal, PCNC
101 S. Chimney Rock Road, Greensboro 27409
Guilford County
Dear Mr. Muha:
The Division of Water Resources (the Division) hereby issues the attached NPDES permit for the subject
facility. 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 October 15, 2007, or as subsequently amended.
The Division understands that you have added a water holding tank after the oil/water separator to your
facility since the last permit renewal. We have made the following updates in the August 10, 2016 and
October 5, 2016 drafts to your previous permit:
1. updated facility description on the supplement to permit cover sheet including removal of the
groundwater remediation treatment and discharge, a waste -holding tank (with optional pump -out
for offsite disposal), and an oil / water separator
2. added updates to facility map including adjustment of Outfall 001 coordinates to
36.074074,-79.917382
3. added flow rational equation [see Footnote 2 and Special Condition A. (2.)]
4. changed annual toxicity monitoring to Acute Whole Effluent Toxicity (WET) testing [TGE6G] at
90%; 24 hour static and inserted Footnote 6 [Condition A. (3.)]
5. added monthly effluent Turbidity monitoring including 50 NTU effluent limits (both daily maximum
& monthly average) along with Footnote 3 regarding receiving stream turbidity [NCAC 02B. 0211
(21)]
6. added electronic reporting of discharge monitoring reports (eDMR) in Section A. (4.)
7. removed MTBE monitoring special condition because there was not reasonable potential to exceed
the water quality standard of 19 µg/L for streams classified as water supply.
Changes made since the October 5, 2016 draft permit include the following:
8. added Footnote 4 regarding sampling for O&G as in the previous permit; however, the O&G
parameter code [00556] remains the same for submitting DMR/eDMR, but uses test EPA method
1664 (SGT-HEM) with results in mg/L
9. removed footnote regarding samples being collected concurrently with annual Acute Toxicity

10. added Footnote 5 which requires that all practical quantitation limits (PQL) must be sufficiently
sensitive considering the respective water quality standard for each parameter [see Part II. Section D.
Regarding comments on the October 5, 2016 draft permit please note the following:
• Bulk -storage facilities have potential to discharge turbid effluents. Considering that North Carolina
has established standards for Turbidity in accord with receiving -stream classification, monitoring
and permit limits are deemed appropriate to evaluate effluent compliance for freshwater [NCAC
02B. 0211(21)]. The Turbidity limit of 50 NTU is a narrative standard; therefore, instream dilution is
not applicable. As Footnote 3 states, compliance is verified by instream sampling in the nearest
waters of the state. In cases where instream sampling is not available or cannot be determined due to
flow conditions, the limit applies at the point of discharge.
• The TSS bench mark of 100 mg/L applies to stormwater permits such as federal and state
stormwater permits such as US EPA Multi -Sector General Permit (MSGP) and the state issued
General Permit NCG080000. Your facility requires an individual NPDES wastewater permit, and
does not qualify for general stormwater General Permit NCG080000 because:
0 onsite petroleum -hydrocarbon bulk storage capacity is equal to, or exceeds,
one million gallons, and;
o secondary containment dikes (for product spills) confine stormwater in close
proximity to product tanks and appurtenant piping, potentially creating
product -contact wastewater [CWA Sec. 502(6), 33U.S.C. §1362 (6)], and;
o routine operations require the manual discharge of stormwater (via a pipe
through secondary containment) to waterbodies of the state, i.e., the release
constitutes a point -source discharge [CWA Sec. 502(14), 33U.S.C. §1362
(14)].
North Carolina therefore concludes that this is a wastewater point source and as such, its
discharge to the natural environment must be permitted under the NPDES wastewater program.
The level of treatment for wastewater system is expected to be greater than a stormwater non -
point source discharge. The TSS limits applied for wastewater treatment are a monthly average
limit of 30 mg/1 and a daily maximum limit of 45 mg/l. The US EPA requires both a Monthly
Average and a Daily Maximum for all parameters that are limited. Review of the last 4 and %z
years (Oct 2011 to Mar 2016) gives a maximum TSS result of 27.1 mg/l. We do not anticipate
that this facility will have issues with meeting compliance with the daily maximum limit.
However, if the monthly average limit of 30 mg/1 is ever exceeded with results above 30 mg/l
additional daily resampling can be averaged to meet compliance for a given month if
monitoring.
Starting December 21, 2016, 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 final
NPDES Electronic Reporting Rule was adopted and became effective on December 21, 2015.
The requirement to begin reporting discharge monitoring data electronically using the NC DWR's
Electronic Discharge Monitoring Report (eDMR) internet application has been added to your final
NPDES permit. [See Special Condition A. (6.)] For information on eDMR, registering for eDMR and
obtaining an eDMR user account, please visit the following web page:

If any parts, measurement frequencies, or sampling requirements contained in this permit are
unacceptable, you have the right to an adjudicatory hearing, upon written request submitted within thirty
(30) days after receiving this letter. Your request must take the form of a written petition conforming to
Chapter 150B of North Carolina General Statutes, and you must file it with the Office of Administrative
Hearings, 6714 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-6714. Unless such a demand is
made, this permit shall remain final and binding.
Please note that 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 the Division of Water Resources or any
other Federal, State, or Local governmental permits that may be required.
If you have questions, or if we can be of further service, please contact Derek Denard at

Footnotes:
1. Starting on December 21, 2016, begin submitting Discharge Monitoring Reports electronically using NC
DWR's eDMR application system. See Condition A. (4.).
2. Each discharge event shall be monitored for Flow volume and duration — During periods of no flow, the
Permittee shall submit a signed, monthly Discharge Monitoring Report (DMR) indicating "No discharge."
Flow may be documented using any one of the following four (4) methods:
1) measure flow continuously via weir or flow meter (totalizer preferred);
2) estimate flow at 20-minute intervals during the entire discharge event;
3) report flow based on discharge pump logs; or
4) calculate flow based on total rainfall per unit area draining to the outfall using the
Rational Method [see formula, Section A. (2.)].
3. Turbidity — Effluent turbidity shall not cause receiving -stream turbidity to exceed 50 NTU. If
background turbidity naturally exceeds 50 NTU, the effluent shall not cause background turbidity to
increase. Any discharge exceeding this permit limit will require sufficient instream sampling (upstream
and/or downstream) to verify compliance (effluent vs. background). [NCAC 02B. 0211(21)]
Page 3 of 8
NPDES Permit NCO022209
4. Where possible, the grab sample for Oil & Grease should be skimmed from the water surface of a
quiescent (calm water) zone.
5. All practical quantitation limits (PQL) must be sufficiently sensitive considering the respective water quality
standard for each parameter [see Part II. Section D. (4)].
6. If Acute WET -test fails [TAE6C], the Permittee shall test each subsequent discharge event until
testing indicates "pass," after which Quarterly monitoring shall resume in accord with Section A.
(3). If after a subsequent five (5) consecutive Quarterly events, WET results demonstrate no toxicity
(i.e., "pass"), the Permittee may petition the Division to relax monitoring, as data may warrant.
WET -test samples shall be collected concurrently with other POC samples, as appropriate to
monitoring frequencies.
Conditions:
• The Permittee shall discharge no floating solids or foam.
• Direct discharge of tank solids, tank -bottom water, or the rag layer is not permitted.
• Hydrostatic Tank Testing: The Permittee shall discharge no tank solids, no tank bottom -water, no tank
rag -layer; no tank [or pipe] contents, unless Benzene concentration tests less than 1.19 µg/L and
Toluene concentration tests less than 11 µg/L.
A. (2.) FLOW MEASUREMENT RATIONAL [G.S. 143-215. 1 (b)]
The Rational Method - Determination of Peak Runoff:
[REF: FHWA Urban Drainage Design Manual, 3.2.2. Rational Method (3-1)]
Q=KuCIA, where:
Q = flow (peak flow rate in cfs or m3/sec)
Ku = unit conversation factor = 1.008 for U.S. standard units (usually
ignored because it is so close to 1), or 0.278 for metric 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 beginning rainfall
excess when all portions of the drainage basin are contributing
simultaneously to outlet flow).
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.

NPDES Permit NCO022209
A. (3.) ACUTE TOXICITY PASS/FAIL PERMIT LIMIT (QUARTERLY)
[15A NCAC 02B .0200 et seq.]
The permittee,shall conduct acute toxicity tests on a quarterly basis using protocols defined in the North
Carolina Procedure Document entitled "Pass/Fail Methodology For Determining Acute Toxicity In A
Single Effluent Concentration" (Revised December 2010 or subsequent versions). The monitoring shall
be performed as a Fathead Minnow (Pimephales promelas) 24 hour static test. The effluent
concentration at which there may be at no time significant acute mortality is 90% (defined as treatment
two in the procedure document). The tests will be performed during the months of January, April,
July and October. These months signify the first month of each three month toxicity testing quarter
assigned to the facility. Effluent sampling for this testing must be obtained during representative effluent
discharge and shall be performed at the NPDES permitted final effluent discharge below all treatment
processes.
Should any single quarterly monitoring indicate a failure to meet specified limits, then monthly
monitoring will begin immediately until such time that a single test is passed. Upon passing, this
monthly test requirement will revert to quarterly in the months specified above.
All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit condition will be entered on the Effluent
Discharge Monitoring Form (MR-1) for the month in which it was performed, using the parameter code
TGE6C.'Additionally, DWR Form AT-2 (original) is to be sent to the following address:
Attention: North Carolina Division of Water Resources
Water Sciences Section/Aquatic Toxicology Branch
1621 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1621
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 there be no discharge of flow from the facility during a month 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
Water Sciences Section at the address cited above.
Should the permittee fail to monitor during a month in which toxicity monitoring is required, then
monthly monitoring will begin immediately until such time that a single test is passed. Upon passing,
this monthly test requirement will revert to quarterly in the months specified above. Assessment of
toxicity compliance is based on the toxicity testing quarter, which is the three month time interval that
begins on the first day of the month in which toxicity testing is required by this permit and continues
until the final day of the third month.
Page 5 of 8
NPDES Permit NCO022209
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.
A. (4.) ELECTRONIC REPORTING OF DISCHARGE MONITORING REPORTS
[G.S. 143-215.1(b)]
Federal regulations require electronic submittal of all discharge monitoring reports (DMRs) and program
reports and specify that, if a state does not establish a system to receive such submittals, then permittees
must submit monitoring data and reports electronically to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
The final NPDES Electronic Reporting Rule was adopted and became effective on December 21, 2015.
NOTE: This special condition supplements or supersedes the following sections within Part II of this
permit (Standard Conditions for NPDES Permits):
• Section B. (11.) Signatory Requirements
• Section D. (2.)
• Section D. (6.)
• Section E. (5.)

Monitoring Reports
1. Reporting Requirements [Supersedes Section D. (2.) and Section E. (5.) (a)]
Effective December 21, 2016, the permittee shall report 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,
signing, and submitting one signed original and a copy of the computer printed eDMR to the
following address:
NC DENR / Division of Water Resources / Water Quality Permitting Section
ATTENTION: Central Files
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617
Page 6 of 8
NPDES Permit NCO022209
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 to the mailing
address above. See "How to Request a Waiver from Electronic Reporting" section below.
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.
Starting on December 21, 2020, the permittee must electronically report the following compliance
monitoring data and reports, when applicable:
• Sewer Overflow/Bypass Event Reports;
• Pretreatment Program Annual Reports; and
• Clean Water Act (CWA) Section 316(b) Annual Reports.
The permittee may seek an electronic reporting waiver from the Division (see "How to Request a
Waiver from Electronic Reporting" section below).
2. Electronic Submissions
In accordance with 40 CFR 122.41(1)(9), the permittee must identify the initial recipient at the time
of each electronic submission. The permittee should use the EPA's website resources to identify the
initial recipient for the electronic submission. ,
Initial recipient of electronic NPDES information from NPDES-regulated facilities means the entity
(EPA or the state authorized by EPA to implement the NPDES program) that is the designated entity
for receiving electronic NPDES data [see 40 CFR 127.2(b)].
EPA plans to establish a website that will also link to the appropriate electronic reporting tool for
each type of electronic submission and for each state. Instructions on how to access and use the
appropriate electronic reporting tool will be available as well. Information on EPA's NPDES
Electronic Reporting Rule is found at: http://www2.epa.gov/compliance%final-national-pollutant-
discharge-elimination-system-npdes-electronic-reporting-rule.
Electronic submissions must start by the dates listed in the "Reporting Requirements" section above.
3. How to Request a Waiver from Electronic Reporting
The permittee may seek a temporary electronic reporting waiver from the Division. To obtain an
electronic reporting waiver, a permittee must first submit an electronic reporting waiver request to
the Division. Requests for temporary electronic reporting waivers must be submitted in writing to the
Page 7 of 8
NPDES Permit NC0022209
Division for written approval at least sixty (60) days prior to the date the facility would be required
under this permit to begin submitting monitoring data and reports. The duration of a temporary
waiver shall not exceed 5 years and shall thereupon expire. At such time, monitoring data and reports
shall be submitted electronically to the Division unless the permittee re -applies for and is granted a
new temporary electronic reporting waiver by the Division. Approved electronic reporting waivers
are not transferrable. Only permittees with an approved reporting waiver request may submit
monitoring data and reports on paper to the Division for the period that the approved reporting
waiver request is effective.
Information on eDMR and the application for a temporary electronic reporting waiver are found on
the following web page:
httv://deg.nc.gov/about/divisions/water-resources/edmr
4. Signatory Requirements [Supplements Section B. (11.) (b) and Supersedes Section B. (11.) (d)l
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. (I 1.)(b). A person, and not a position, must be delegated signatory authority for eDMR
reporting purposes.
For eDMR submissions, the person signing and submitting the DMR must obtain an eDMR user
account and login credentials to access the eDMR system. For more information on North Carolina's
eDMR system, registering for eDMR and obtaining an eDMR user account, please visit the

6. added electronic reporting of discharge monitoring reports (eDMR) in Section A. (4.)
7. removed MTBE monitoring special condition because there was not reasonable potential to exceed the
water quality standard of 19 µg/L for streams classified as water supply.
Changes made since the October 5, 2016 draft permit include the following:
8. added Footnote 4 regarding sampling for O&G as in the previous permit; however, the O&G
parameter code [00556] remains the same for submitting DMR/eDMR, but uses test EPA method 1664
(SGT-HEM) with results in mg/L
9. removed footnote regarding samples being collected concurrently with annual Acute Toxicity
10. added Footnote 5 which requires that all practical quantitation limits (PQL) must be sufficiently
sensitive considering the respective water quality standard for each parameter [see Part II. Section D.
(4•)]
Re ag rding comments on the October 5, 2016 draft permit please note the following:
• Bulk -storage facilities have potential to discharge turbid effluents. Considering that North Carolina has
established standards for Turbidity in accord with receiving -stream classification, monitoring and
permit limits are deemed appropriate to evaluate effluent compliance for freshwater [NCAC 02B.
0211(21)]. The Turbidity limit of 50 NTU is a narrative standard; therefore, instream dilution is not
applicable. As Footnote 3 states, compliance is verified by instream sampling in the nearest waters of
the state. In cases where instream sampling is not available or cannot be determined due to flow
conditions, the limit applies at the point of discharge.
• The TSS bench mark of 100 mg/L applies to stormwater permits such as federal and state stormwater
permits such as US EPA Multi -Sector General Permit (MSGP) and the state issued General Permit
NCG080000. Your facility requires an individual NPDES wastewater permit, and does not qualify for
general stormwater General Permit NCG080000 because:
0 onsite petroleum -hydrocarbon bulk storage capacity is equal to, or exceeds, one
million gallons, and;
o secondary containment dikes (for product spills) confine stormwater in close
proximity to product tanks and appurtenant piping, potentially creating product -
contact wastewater [CWA Sec. 502(6), 33U.S.C. §1362 (6)], and;
o routine operations require the manual discharge of stormwater (via a pipe
through secondary containment) to waterbodies of the state, i.e., the release
constitutes a point -source discharge [CWA Sec. 502(14), 33U.S.C. §1362 (14)].
North Carolina therefore concludes that this is a wastewater point source and as such, its discharge to
the natural environment must be permitted under the NPDES wastewater program. The level of
treatment for wastewater system is expected to be greater than a stormwater non -point source
discharge. The TSS limits applied for wastewater treatment are a monthly average limit of 30 mg/1 and
a daily maximum limit of 45 mg/l. The US EPA requires both a Monthly Average and a Daily
Maximum for all parameters that are limited. Review of the last 4 and %2 years (Oct 2011 to Mar 2016)
gives a maximum TSS result of 27.1 mg/l. We do not anticipate that this facility will have issues with
meeting compliance with the daily maximum limit. However, if the monthly average limit of 30 mg/1
is ever exceeded with results above 30 mg/1 additional daily resampling can be averaged to meet
compliance for a given month if monitoring.
Stream — Discharge from Outfall 001 is into an unnamed tributary (UT) to Long Branch [Stream Segment
17-2-1-(1)], a waterbody classified WS-IV:* located within Subbasin 03-06-08 [HUC: 030300030102] of
the Cape Fear River Basin. The segment [17-2-1-(1)] is listed as Impaired (Cat 5) for Fish Tissue Hg,

RPA - The need for toxicant limits is based upon a demonstration of reasonable potential to exceed water
quality standards, a statistical evaluation that is conducted during every permit renewal utilizing the most
recent effluent data for each outfall. The RPA is conducted in accordance with 40 CFR 122.44 (d) (i). The
NC RPA procedure utilizes the following: 1) 95% Confidence Level/95% Probability; 2) assumption of zero
background; 3) use of V2 detection limit for "less than" values; and 4) streamflows used for dilution
consideration based on 15A NCAC 2B.0206. Effective April 6, 2016, NC began implementation of
dissolved metals criteria in the RPA process in accordance with guidance titled NPDES Implementation of
Instream Dissolved Metals Standards, dated June 10, 2016.
A reasonable potential analysis was conducted on effluent toxicant data collected between Oct2011-
Mar2016. Pollutants of concern included toxicants with positive detections and associated water quality
standards/criteria. Based on this analysis, the following permitting actions are proposed for this permit:
S Monitoring Only. The following parameters will receive a monitor -only requirement since they did
not demonstrate reasonable potential to exceed applicable water quality standards/criteria, but the
maximum predicted concentration was >50% of the allowable concentration or remains as a
parameter of concern included in the permitting strategy for this type of facility: Benzene, Toluene,
Ethylbenzene, Xylenes, Naphthalene, MTBE and Phenolics.

Whole Effluent Toxicity(WET) - This facility is combined stormwater and groundwater [complex
wastestream] that flows to a retention pond that discharges episodically. Currently WET testing is Acute
Fact Sheet
Renewal 2016 -- NPDES NC0022209
Page 3
WET [TAE6C] Fathead Minnow (Pimephales promelas), 24-hr definitive, LC-50 > 100%. Acute test history
demonstrates no toxicity issues [See attached data summary].
Acute WET testing is deemed appropriate to evaluate end -of -pipe short-term impacts of episodic
discharges. Chronic WET testing is applied to onsite groundwater remediation because these waste streams
are deemed complex and can be non -episodic. These facilities typically discharge under zero flow
conditions (IWC = 100%), therefore WET testing is conducted @ 90% effluent concentration. [REF Memo:
Coleen Sullins, DWQ, 1999].
For renewal Changed annual toxicity monitoring to Acute Whole Effluent Toxicity (WET) testing [TGE6G]
at 90%; 24 hour static with the following Footnote 5: If Acute Whole Effluent Toxicity (WET) test fails
[TGE6C], the Permittee shall test each subsequent discharge event until testing indicates "pass," after which
Quarterly monitoring shall resume in accord with Section A. (3.). If after a subsequent five (5) consecutive
Quarterly events, WET results demonstrate no toxicity (i.e., "pass"), the Permittee may petition the Division
to relax monitoring, as data may warrant. WET -test samples shall be collected concurrently with other POC
samples, as appropriate to monitoring frequencies.

No, that's good.
I just mentioned the cover letter for understandability purposes, trying to read all of that in the body of the permit is
probably quite confusing, so I thought I would suggest just a simple statement, so It's easy to understand.

Joe's two cents:
Susan - yes, 1 feel you and Cindy have correctly assessed our permitting goals, with two minor clarifications:
1. We have thus far (through several permit cycles) required five (5) quarters of "pass," not four (as episodic data
are available) - perhaps arbitrary but consistent; and
2. 1 believe we were advised by EPA that the permit cover letter may "explain," but is not "defensible" as part of
the permit, so we have to be clear to define conditions in the permit body.
Respectfully,

Okay, I just want to have a good understanding about this as I am the one that is running Compliance on these facilities
with respect to WET testing, so I need to have be clear on what is expected.
So, the intent is to change them from Annual Monitoring Only to an Annual Limit - Correct?
And if they fail they will revert to quarterly testing permanently until the Division says they can go back to Annual
testing — correct?
Just wondering... Why can't they run 4 quarterly test (and if they pass all of them) automatically go back to Annual
testing?
In talking with Cindy Moore about this, we agree that we don't have a problem with it we just need to stay consistent as
well as adhering to EPA.
So, if this is the intent then we do not have separate language page for this, but I would explain it clearly and simply in
the cover letter.
By stating: If the annual test results in a fail, then the facility will revert to quarterly testing.

Susan,
We gave them annual monitoring in the effluent table. According to the footnote, once they fail they revert to
quarterly following Condition A.3. Joe's thinking is that annual monitoring is conditional upon pass/fail. If we change the
TOX page to annual there would be no guidelines for what months we require because we would want them to
monitoring quarterly going forward. Would inserting a special condition into the permit better explain what we are trying
to do here? Is there an Annual Acute TOX page that requires them to do quarterly sampling upon failure and remain at
quarterly until they request to go back to annual? I'm not sure we have anything parameter code wise and TOX page
wise that captures this.

If I understand this correctly, the reason we don't want them to automatically revert back to annual after passing
4 quarters is that they discharge episodically. They may not be able to sample in the given months on the TOX
page. By the time the permit is up for renewal, we would have enough data to determine if they could go back
to annual. In other words, automatically reverting back to annual after passing 4 quarters would only work if
they had monthly discharges.

Re: Comments on Draft NPDES Permit NCO022209
Motiva Enterprises LLC -- Greensboro Terminal
101 South Chimney Rock Road, Greensboro
Dear Mr. Denard:
Motiva Enterprises LLC (Motiva) is providing the following comments on Draft NPDES Permit
NCO022209 received via email on October 4, 2016. As stated in your letter dated October 5,
2016, Motiva has made no significant changes to the facility since the last permit renewal and
has had no compliance issues; therefore, Motiva is requesting removal of the new limits and
analysis added to the draft permit. The additional limits create an added burden to the facility
that is not warranted by our historical compliance record.
The addition of the monthly average limit of 30.0 mg/L total suspended solids (TSS) is
effectively lowering the daily maximum from 45.0 mg/L to 30.0 mg/L since sampling is only
required once per month. Furthermore, the 30.0 mg/L TSS level is extremely low compared to
the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Multi -Sector General Permit (MSGP)
benchmark of 100 mg/L, which the EPA deems appropriate for compliance monitoring of
stormwater discharge from petroleum terminals. Motiva maintains that the current TSS limit is
protective of the receiving stream and the waters of the state of North Carolina and requests
that a more stringent limit is not added to the permit for TSS.
The addition of the turbidity analysis requirement is not warranted as the receiving stream is a
dry creek bed with intermittent flow and often zero flow and, therefore, does not support a fish
population. The existing 45.0 mg/L daily maximum TSS limit provides sufficient protection of
aquatic life in the receiving stream. Motiva requests that the turbidity analysis not be added to
the permit. Alternatively, if turbidity analysis must be added, it should be as a "monitoring only"
parameter as the EPA MSGP includes a benchmark level only for turbidity.

Permitting Section
Motiva Enterprises LLC (Motiva) is providing the following comments on Draft NPDES Permit
NCO022209 received via email on October 4, 2016. As stated in your letter dated October 5,
2016, Motiva has made no significant changes to the facility since the last permit renewal and
has had no compliance issues; therefore, Motiva is requesting removal of the new limits and
analysis added to the draft permit. The additional limits create an added burden to the facility
that is not warranted by our historical compliance record.
The addition of the monthly average limit of 30.0 mg/L total suspended solids (TSS) is
effectively lowering the daily maximum from 45.0 mg/L to 30.0 mg/L since sampling is only
required once per month. Furthermore, the 30.0 mg/L TSS level is extremely low compared to
the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Multi -Sector General Permit (MSGP)
benchmark of 100 mg/L, which the EPA deems appropriate for compliance monitoring of
stormwater discharge from petroleum terminals. Motiva maintains that the current TSS limit is
protective of the receiving stream and the waters of the state of North Carolina and requests
that a more stringent limit is not added to the permit for TSS.
The addition of the turbidity analysis requirement is not warranted as the receiving stream is a
dry creek bed with intermittent flow and often zero flow and, therefore, does not support a fish
population. The existing 45.0 mg/L daily maximum TSS limit provides sufficient protection of
aquatic life in the receiving stream. Motiva requests that the turbidity analysis not be added to
the permit. Alternatively, if turbidity analysis must be added, it should be as a "monitoring only"
parameter as the EPA MSGP includes a benchmark level only for turbidity.

Dear Mr. Denard:
Motiva Enterprises LLC (Motiva) is providing the following comments on Draft NPDES Permit
NCO022209 received via email on August 11, 2016. As stated in your letter dated August 10,
2016, Motiva has made no significant changes to the facility since the last permit renewal and
has had no compliance issues; therefore, Motiva is requesting removal of the new limits and
analysis added to the draft permit. The additional limits create an added burden to the facility
that is not warranted by our historical compliance record.
The addition of turbidity analysis requirement is not warranted as the receiving stream is a dry
creek bed that has intermittent flow and often zero flow, and therefore does not support a fish
population. The existing total suspended solids limit should provide sufficient protection of
aquatic life in the receiving stream. Motiva requests that the turbidity analysis not be added to
the permit or that the turbidity analysis be added as a "monitoring only" parameter.
Oil & Grease has rarely been detected in the effluent stream and the highest reported level
during the current permit term was 9.8 mg/L, which is well below the proposed limit of 15 mg/L.
Motiva requests that Oil & Grease continue to be a "monitoring only" parameter in the permit.

Subject: RE: Draft NPDES Permit NCO022209 - Motiva Enterprises, LLC - Greensboro Terminal
Derek — The parameter code for TSS is wrong. It should be C0530.
Suggested changes in to description of system:
• Diked areas (secondary containment of ASTs and piping)
Truck loading -rack drains that flow to a concrete pit with sump pump. The pit water is transferred to a 8,000
gallon AST with hydrocarbon detector (the tank contents is typically released into diked area but can be hauled
off -site if contaminated).
• Settling pond (with point source outfall)
• Discharge control valve, manually operated (normally closed)
1
FYI - There is no groundwater remediation system present. There is no oil water separator.
Sorry for all these changes. Noboby ever bothered to read the system descriptions in past drafts.

Subject: RE: Tank Farm Drafts
Mike,
See below what Joe Corporon wrote up so far as a rational for turbidity and O&G. Please but read on afterward below as
I dig deeper.
4. Oil & Grease [00556] vs. EPA 1664 [STG-HEM]
Because these facilities have potential to discharge heavy hydrocarbons, they shall monitor O&G._
Recommendations:
Under table EFFLUENT CHARACTERISTICS [permit section A. (1.)]:
➢ Monitor Monthly— if not present, add permit limit of 15 mg/L.
➢ replace test method for "Oil & Grease" with "Oil & Grease - EPA
Method 1664 [STG-HEM]."
➢ Include number EPA 1664 [column 11; 00556 in column 2 stays the same until 1BIMS is
updated).
➢ in BIMS, retain the parameter code 00556 [1664 will not appear]
➢ Based on the current narrative, 0&G shall be limited by a Daily Max only (if discharge is episodic); If
continuous, add both DM and MA limits.
Delete existing O&G footnote >: "Where possible, the grab sample for Oil & Grease should be
skimmed from the water surface of a quiescent (calm
water) zone."
1
Rationale: Previously used test method for Oil & Grease targets animal and vegetable fats, oils and greases typical
for 100% domestic discharges. Method 1664 -STG-HEM [silica gel transfer -hexane extraction method] targets non -
polar oil and grease more typical of industrial waste discharges. The previous footnote directing samplers to "...skim
from the water surface of a quiescent zone..." is hereby deemed inappropriate and shall be deleted.
5. Turbidity
Because it has a standard (50 NTU), facilities shall monitor Turbidity._
Recommendations:
• If no data exist, monitor Quarterly, minimum.
• To evaluate compliance, use all available data.
• If RP exists (based on 50 NTU) - add limit based on RP; increase monitor to Monthly.
Include the following footnote:
"Effluent turbidity shall not cause receiving stream turbidity to exceed 50 NTU. If effluent
turbidity exceeds 50 NTU, the Permittee shall sample upstream and downstream (as
appropriate considering zero -flow receiving -stream conditions). Non-compliance with this
Standard may require additional stream monitoring and a Turbidity Corrective Action Plan
(TCAP)."
Rationale: EPA questioned the potential for these facilities to violate stream standards because little or no
turbidity data were available. If sufficient data exists, evaluate reasonable potential. If no data, add monitoring
and include footnote to Table A. (1.), and others as appropriate (see above).
However, digging deeper into O&G, which is a native limit found in 15A NCAC 026 .0211(12). Since we are asking them
to use Method 1664 -STG-HEM, which is a for non -polar hydrocarbons then we have a better measure of 0&G for a
facility that stores millions of gallons of non -polar hydrocarbons.
For O&G with a limit, we have seen this before in other permits including stormwater. For wastewater NPDES I found
one example. This in a factsheet for the NC500000 for cooling water that explains what we are thinking of as far as a
native limit:
Oil & Grease limits are governed by 15A NCAC 26.0211 (3)(f). The specific limit of 20 mg/I is a numeric
interpretation of the minimum standard listed in .0211(3)(f). A discharge of 20 mg/I into the receiving stream
would cause a visible sheen (as described in .0211 (3)(f)) and would constitute an unacceptable contamination
of the receiving stream.
Please note 2B was rewritten with O&G found at (12) not (3)(f).
So, the best rationale for 0&G is 15A NCAC 02B .0211(12). 0&G is a parameter of concern and has a native limit.
The best rationale for Turbidity is 15A NCAC 02B .0211(21). It is pretty clear that they have to meet 50 NTU and yes they
can look at up and down stream for comparison for compliance. However, these facilities discharge to zero flow
conditions. So the stream limit of 50 NTU applies at the end of the pipe.
Hope this makes sense. We can discuss further.

water under NPDES Permit No. NC0022209. Motiva is requesting renewal of this permit.
Attached is a copy of the NPDES Permit Application — Short Form C, a table summarizing
discharge analytical results in 2015, a conceptual flow diagram, and a facility location map.
Please note the following:
• The contributions to this discharge have not changed; however, a water holding tank has
been added after the oil/water separator as indicated on the attached Figure 1.
• The facility does not generate sludge and therefore is not required to submit a sludge

Stormwater from the loading rack area gravity flows to an 11,500 gallon in -ground SPCC Tank
(oil/water separator). Water flows from the separator via gravity to an 8,000 gallon above-
ground tank within the tank farm diked area. This tank is equipped with a hydrocarbon
sensor and level gauging system. After confirming no hydrocarbons are present, a normally
closed valve is opened to release water to the tank farm diked area. The water flows via gravity
to the retention pond and comingles with stormwater collected within the diked area. Water
from the retention pond is discharged as need under operator supervision via gravity flow
through Outfall 001. Recovered product from the SPCC Tank is removed via vacuum truck for
