Dear Sir or Madam: W.C. Worsley 1892-1960 W. Cecil Worsley, Jr. Chairman of the Board W. Cecil Worsley, III President and CEO In reference to NPDES Permit No. NC0065307, Worsley has determined that activities associated with the referenced facility are classified under Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) Code 5500. Worsley does not believe this SIC code is identified as any activity requiring a NPDES Permit for stormwater (i.e., oil/water separator, outfall 002). This structure should not require monitoring due to the SCI Code for this facility. Worsley respectfully requests your review of this matter as it relates to NPDES Permit NC0065307. We appreciate your assistance in this matter. If you have any questions or comments, please do not hesitate to contact me at the letterhead address or by telephone at (910) 796-2987. Sincerely, RSLEY COMPANIES, Ir.,, Maureen A. Jackson Environmental Manager cc: Mr. Bryan Lievre, Environmental Services and Solutions Ms. Linda Willis, NCDENR Wilmington Regional Office k AV 6 JAN - 8 2008 oil / water separator questions Subject: oil / water separator questions From: Charles Weaver <charles.weaver@ncmail.net> Date: Fri, 28 Dec 2007 13:57:39 -0500 To: Linda Willis <Linda.Willis@ncmail.net> CC: Tom Belnick <tom.belnick@ncmail.net> BCC: Susan Wilson <susan.a.wilson@ncmail.net> Linda - if the facility that's currently unpermitted wishes to discharge the oil/water separator effluent to a storm drain, they need an NPDES permit. If the source of the wastewater is from a petroleum site with no solvent or non-petro contaminants, they could be covered under the General Permit for groundwater remediations. I'll defer to Tom Belnick, as he did the 2006 renewal of the General Permit, for a final word. The existing o/w discharges in Wilmington are mainly at oil storage facilities; that's why they have individual permits. As for the Dixie Boy truck stop [NC0065307], the 2007 permit renewal added an outfall [002] for the o/w separator's discharge. However, 002's monitoring requirements do NOT include new parameters. That permit took effect 8/l/2007. It is far too late for Worsley to "challenge" anything in the permit. They had that opportunity when the draft was sent to Public Notice. If they want to request a permit modification, they can; however, unless they have tied in the o/w separator to 001 it's unlikely we'll change 002 on the permit. CHW 1 of 1 1/10/2008 10:45 AM
