Subject: Review of Permit Renewal-Draft
NPDES Permit NC0087912
for Speedway#6973,WPCS Class PC/NC
a Surface Water Pollution Prevention System
Franklin County
Mr. McMillan:
Based on your renewal request for the subject permit(received November 1, 2023), the Division
of Water Resources(DWR or the Division)hereby transmits a renewal draft for your review and
comment. Please review it carefully to ensure your understanding of the permit limits and
monitoring requirements, and to correct errors, if any.
Concurrent with this notification, the Division will solicit public comment on this draft by
publishing a notice in newspapers having circulation in the general Franklin County area, as
required by the NPDES Program. Please provide your written comments, if any,to DENR/DWR
/NPDES Program no later May 3,2024 (approximately 30 days after receiving this document).
Your written comments are welcome,but they are not mandatory.
DWR understands from your renewal application that Speedway, LLC (Speedway)has made no
alterations to treatment systems or processes since last renewal. Moreover, discharge monitoring
is currently waived by the Division(see BIMS DMR database,Jan2020-Mar2024). DWR will
therefore renew this permit without significant changes to limits and monitoring conditions
except that we have updated the Oil & Grease test-method parameter code from 00556 to 00552
[EPA Method 1664 SGT-HEM], see permit section A. (1.).
The NPDES standard conditions(Parts II, III, and IV), are part of this permit but are not included
in this draft document (cover, map, and Part I). The latest version of Parts II, III, and IV are
available at https://bit.ly/2BZ4xxx and can be viewed online or downloaded as a PDF file.

A. (3.) ELECTRONIC REPORTING OF DISCHARGE MONITORING REPORTS

Federal regulations require electronic submittal of all discharge monitoring reports(DMRs)and
program reports. The final NPDES Electronic Reporting Rule was adopted and became effective on

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
1.Reporting Requirements [Supersedes Section D.(2.) and Section E.(5.)(a)]
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. The eDMR system may be
accessed at: https://deq.nc.gov/about/divisions/water-resources/edmr.
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 following address:
NC DEQ/Division of Water Resources/Water Quality Permitting Section
ATTENTION: Central Files
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh,North Carolina 27699-1617
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, 2025, the permittee must electronically report the following compliance
monitoring data and reports,when applicable:

Page 4 of 6

NPDES Permit NC0087912
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:
https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2015/10/22/2015-24954/nationalpollutant-discharge-

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
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:
