Subject: Issuance of NPDES Permit Renewal
Permit No. NC0088811
Pharmaceutical Product Development, Inc
Groundwater Remediation Plant
New Hanover County
Facility Class I
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 October 15, 2007 (or as subsequently amended).
As identified previously, the renewal permit contains the following significant changes from your
current permit:
• 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 NPDES permit. [See Special
Condition A. (4.)]
For information on eDMR, registering for eDMR and obtaining an eDMR user account, please visit the following web
page: http://portal.ncdenr.org/web/wg/admin/bog/ipu/edmr.
For information on EPA's proposed NPDES Electronic Reporting Rule, please visit the following website:
http://www2.epa.gov/compliance/proposed-npdes-electronic-reporting-rule.
• . Discharge data, collected as part of Pharmaceutical Product Development's Industrial User Permit (IUP), was
evaluated for the period of Jan. 2011 through October 2014. A Reasonable potential analysis was performed on
the data to determine what toxic parameters should continue to be limited, removed, or added to the NPDES permit
as follows:
o Effluent monitoring for silver was removed from the permit because all IUP samples were less than the
detection level.
o Bi-annual IUP sampling for cyanide showed one hit at 17 ug/L and six at <5 ug/L during the past four years
(2011-2014). Since this is a limited data set (less than 8 samples) and all samples were non -detect except
one, quarterly monitoring for cyanide was added to the permit with no limitation.

o Reasonable Potential to violate state Water Quality Standards (WQSs) was shown using IUP discharge data
for arsenic, chromium, molybdenum, and nickel. As a result, arsenic and chromium limitations and monitoring
were maintained in the permit. Limitations and monitoring were added for molybdenum and nickel.
o IUP discharge data for copper showed reasonable potential for the effluent to violate state Water Quality
Standards. IUP discharge data for Zn did not show potential to violate state WQSs; however, the predicted Zn
concentration was greater than 50% of the total allowable concentration. Copper and zinc have action level
standards which apply in conjunction with toxicity test results. Since the facility is not discharging to state
waters at this time, limitations for copper and zinc are not required but quarterly monitoring for both parameters
was maintained in the permit.
Some of the wording has changed in Special Condition A. (2), Acute Toxicity Pass/Fail Limit and the testing
organism was changed to Mysid Shrimp. Per EPA guidance, the most sensitive species should be chosen when
testing only one species (USEPA 1991). Although no species is always the most sensitive to all toxicants,
Mysidopsis bahia has been documented to show a greater sensitivity to ion toxicity than other saltwater test species
(Pillard et al. 2000). Language was inserted at the bottom of this condition that describes a permittee's options for
alternative test species selection.
If any parts, measurement frequencies or sampling requirements contained in this permit 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.
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 any questions concerning this permit, please contact Julie Grcyb by email Qulie.grzyb@ncdenr.gov) or

Permit NCO088811
A. (2.) ACUTE TOXICITY PASS/FAIL LIMIT (QUARTERLY)
[15A NCAC 02B .0200 et seq.]
The permittee shall conduct acute toxicity tests on a uarterll 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 Mysid Shrimp (Mysidopsis bahia) 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 March, June, September, and December. 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 TGOE.
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
1623 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1623
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
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.
Page 4 of 7
Permit NCO088811
USE OF A DIFFERENT TEST ORGANISM
The permittee may request the use of a different test organism upon documentation that the alternate test
organism would provide an equal or greater level of protection and is appropriate based on the characteristics
of the discharge and receiving stream. Such documentation would consist of one of the following:
1. For saltwater classified streams, a fathead minnow may be assigned as the acute testing species if the
salinity of the receiving stream at the point of discharge is <5 ppt throughout the tidally influenced
cycle. This determination may be based on the best professional judgment of DWR staff or data
collection provided by the permittee and approved by DWR staff. This evaluation should include
vertical profiles of salinity/conductivity measurements at both high tide and low tide over several 24
hour cycles.
2. Three consecutive "side -by -side" tests with results indicating that the alternate test organism is as or
more sensitive to the facility's effluent. Each test series would consist of two separate toxicity tests
conducted on the same sample of effluent with the length of exposure specified by the permit, the
only difference between the tests being the organism used.
3. An alternate plan developed by the permittee and approved by the Aquatic Toxicology Unit that
demonstrates an equal level of protection is offered by the test organism.
For items 2 and 3, it must also be demonstrated that viable and standardized culture techniques are available
for that organism and standardized testing methodologies have been developed and validated. This
demonstration should meet guidance provided by EPA in Section 6 of EPA-821-R-02-012, Short Term Methods
for Estimating the Acute Toxicity of Effluents and Receiving Waters to Freshwater Organisms. Fifth Edition,
2002. Requests to use a different test organism and supporting documentation should be sent to NC DWR,
WSS at the address listed above.
A. (3.) ADDITIONAL EFFLUENT TESTING AND REOPENER
[G.S.143-215.1(b)]
The Division of Water Quality may request further effluent characteristic evaluation by means of a written
request stating the type of analysis, a due date, and the reason for the analysis. If the analysis indicates the
applicable Effluent Guidelines or Water Quality Standards were exceeded, then the permit can be reopened
and the appropriate limits added. In the event of a new limit being added, upon request from the permittee a
compliance timetable will be established.
A. (4.) ELECTRONIC REPORTING OF DISCHARGE MONITORING REPORTS
[G.S.143-215.1(B)]
Proposed 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 Division anticipates that these
regulations will be adopted and is beginning implementation in late 2013.
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.) Reporting
• Section D. (6.) Records Retention
• Section E. (5.) Monitoring Reports

BeginxZdng no later than 270 days from the effective date of this permit, the permittee shall begin reporting
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 / DWR / Information Processing Unit
ATTENTION: Central Files / eDMR
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617
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.
Requests for temporary waivers from the NPDES electronic reporting requirements must be submitted in
writing to the Division for written approval at least sixty (60) days, prior to the date the facility would be
required under this permit to begin using eDMR. Temporary waivers shall be valid for twelve (12)
months and shall thereupon expire. At such time, DMRs shall be submitted electronically to the Division
unless the permittee re -applies for and is granted a new'temporary waiver by the Division.
Information on eDMR and application for a temporary waiver from the NPDES electronic reporting
requirements is found on the following web page:
hft://portal.ncdenr.org/webZwq/admin/bogZil2u/edmr
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.
2. Signatory Requirements [Supplements Section B. (11.) (b) and supersedes Section B (11.) (d)1

BACKGROUND
Pharmaceutical Products Development, Inc. (PPD) constructed an office building located on a
7.48 acre tract formerly used as a chemical terminal by Almont Shipping. Following
construction, groundwater was observed seeping into the lower parking deck and the adjacent
courtyard. To receive a final Certificate of Occupancy, PPD was required to recover the seepage
and discharge the wastewaters to the City's sanitary sewer, under an approved Industrial User
Permit (IUP). The IUP was issued with the condition that PPD investigate an alternative disposal
method for the groundwater. PPD performed an Engineering Alternatives Analysis and
concluded that a direct discharge to the Cape Fear River was the most economically feasible
disposal alternative, other than a continued discharge to the sanitary sewer via the IUP.
This discharge is currently permitted as an Industrial User Permit by the City of Wilmington
POTW. The IUP permit was issued with the understanding that this option was short term and at
some point in the future this discharge would not be accepted. The Division agrees that the
recommended method would be to continue to utilize the POTW and that in the absence of the
POTW accepting the discharge, the surface discharge of treated wastewaters would be allowable.
PPD would have to install adequate treatment to meet NPDES permit limitations prior to a direct
discharge to surface waters. To date, there has been no discharge of wastewaters via the NPDES
permit.
PROPOSED WASTEWATER TREATMENT
Depending on rain events 8,000 gpd to 10,500 gpd of recovered groundwater is discharged to the
POTW. The initial analysis of the ground water yielded high levels of ammonia and arsenic.
Permit No. NCO088811
PPD's original application included an ion exchange system proposed to reduce ammonia and
arsenic levels in the extracted groundwater prior to discharge. A treatability study was conducted
to determine the optimum treatment system configuration to achieve the target treatment goals of
an arsenic human health standard of 10 ug/L and an ammonia limitation of 2 mg/L. PPD reported
that the results of the study determined that the proposed treatment system would be able to treat
the recovered groundwater for ammonia and arsenic and achieve effluent concentrations of <3
mg/L for ammonia and < 10 ug/L for arsenic. The proposed system would consist of disposable
cartridge pre -filters to remove suspended materials, a series of ion exchange tanks to remove
arsenic and ammonia, and a pH adjustment system. In addition, as the ion system becomes spent,
a contract service would be hired to install new units and remove the spent units. The contract
service would be responsible for disposal of the spent units.
The design flow used for the system was 2 gpm to 20 gpm with 10 gpm being optimum. For
permitting purposes 20 gpm or 0.029 MGD was used to define the permitted flow. The discharge
would flow to a local storm drain which discharges to the Northeast Cape Fear River
approximately 1,000 feet from the site.
The Northeast Cape Fear is a class SC, swamp stream within the Cape Fear River Basin. This
segment of the NE Cape Fear is listed on the 2014 303(d) list, impaired for copper.
PERMITTING STRATEGY
Wastewaters discharged to the POTW are analyzed for the following parameters as part of PPD's
IUP: As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Zn, Ammonia, Chloride, TKN, TS, pH, Conductivity, Temperature,
Barium, Aluminum, Ni, and Mo. Twice a year the facility tests its discharge for additional
pollutants such as Ag, CN, Pb, Phosphorus, and Oil & Grease. Since limited data was submitted
on the effluent with the initial application, IUP data collected from Jan. 2013 through October
2014 was evaluated to help determine what parameters should continue to be limited or removed
from the permit. The following data summarizes the IUP data. All the data can be found in a
spreadsheet titled Industrial User Permit Discharge Data attached to the fact sheet.

COMPLIANCE REVIEW
This facility has not had a NPDES discharge.
No toxicity tests or inspections were performed.
REASONABLE POTENTIAL ANALYSIS
Since IUP wastewater data was available, a reasonable potential analysis was performed on the
following parameters: As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Mo, Ni, and Zn.
Reasonable Potential to violate state Water Quality Standards (WQSs) was shown for As, Cr,
Mo, and Ni. As and Cr limitations and monitoring were maintained in the permit. The As
limitation is based on the state's human health standard of 10 ug/L to protect for fish
consumption. Limitations and monitoring were added for Mo and Ni. Metal limitations for Cr,
Mo, and Ni are based on aquatic life saltwater standards.
Reasonable potential to violate state WQSs for copper was shown. Since copper has an action
level standard and is implemented based on toxicity testing, monitoring will remain in the permit.
A copper permit limitation will not be established until toxicity testing is performed and can be
evaluated in conjunction with copper sampling results.
Industrial User Permit Discharge data for Zn did not show potential to violate state WQSs,
however, the predicted Zn concentration was greater than 50% of the total allowable
concentration. As a result, Zn monitoring will be maintained in the permit.
Bi-annual sampling for Ag showed eight samples <5 or <10 ug/L during the past four years
(2011-2014). Ag is not considered to be a pollutant of concern and the monitoring requirement
was removed from the permit.
Bi-annual sampling for CN showed one hit at 17 ug/L and six at <5 ug/L during the past four
years (2011-2014). Since this is a limited data set (less than 8 samples) and all samples were
non -detect except one, quarterly monitoring for CN was added to the permit with no limitation at
this time.
PERMIT LIMITATION BASIS FOR OTHER PARAMETERS
Ammonia as nitrogen- Ammonia limits were established based on a permitting strategy to meet
summer and winter limitations of 2 mg/L and 4 mg/L, respectively. These limits will be
maintained in the permit.
Whole Effluent Toxicity Test - The quarterly Acute Pass/Fail Toxicity Limit test (WET test) will
be maintained in the permit and is required of all complex wastewaters containing metals.
Oil and grease are addressed as a narrative standard.
A list of parameters and the regulatory basis for each limit or monitoring requirement can be
found at the end of the Fact Sheet under Table II.
SUMMARY OF PROPOSED CHANGES
The following permit changes are proposed for this permit renewal/expansion:
1. Addition of electronic DNM requirement.
2. Removed effluent monitoring for silver.
3. Added effluent monitoring and limitations for molybdenum and nickel.
4. Added effluent monitoring for cyanide.
3
Permit No. NCO088811
5. Addition of revised Toxicity testing language and change testing organism to Mysid Shrimp.
PROPOSED SCHEDULE FOR PERMIT ISSUANCE
Draft Permit to Public Notice: March 11, 2015 (estimate)
Permit Scheduled to Issue: May 4, 2015 (estimate)

NPDES Permit Renewal Staff Report
To: Julie Grzyb, NPDES Complex Permitting Unit
From: Dean Hunkele, Senior Environmental Specialist —Wilmington
Facility: PPD (NC0088811)
Specific Permit Comments:
1. The permit should be corrected to reflect the appropriate surface water classification of PNA
HQW. The permit needs to impose TSS limitations of 10 mg/L (daily maximum) instead of the
current limits.
2. The quarterly parameter monitoring months need to specified so "phantom" violations do not
occur in BIMS if system is ever built & used. For ease on everyone, it is recommended that the
same months as the toxicity monitoring are selected.

Permit No. NCO088811
ECS Carolinas, LLP (ECS) is providing the attached permit renewal application at the request of
PPD for their groundwater seepage discharge. The original permit was obtained on November
1, 2009.
The groundwater seepage is currently being discharged to the Cape Fear Public Utility Authority
(CFPUA) through CFPUA discharge permit N123. The groundwater is currently collecting in
sumps and is then pumped into a nearby CFPUA sewer manhole. A flow meter and sample
collection port are located between the collection sumps and CFPUA discharge manhole. Per
the CFPUA discharge permit, the discharge water is sampled monthly and the results from
2009 through June 2011 are summarized in the attached table.
As part of the CFPUA permit requirements, an alternative discharge option is required to be
addressed. To meet the CFPUA requirement, PPD obtained a NPDES discharge permit as an
alternative. However, the CFPUA discharge permit is more economically feasible. Therefore,
PPD has not used the NPDES discharge permit, which would require the construction of a
treatment system to reduce the ammonia and arsenic concentrations. PPD would like to renew
the NPDES discharge permit as a second alternative in the event the CFPUA discharge permit
is no longer an option. At that time, PPD would construct the required treatment system
necessary to meet the NPDES permit effluent limits.
Please contact either ECS at (910)686-9114 or Bob Verdinek with PPD at (910)772-7303 with
questions or comments.
Sincerely,
