Dear Mr. Holloway:
Division personnel have reviewed and approved your application for the subject permit. Accordingly,
we are forwarding the attached NPDFS 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
US. Environmental Protection Agency dated May 9,1994 (or as subsequently amended).
This final permit contains the following significant changes from the draft you were sent on April 26, 2006-
➢ The permit has been clarified to reflect the fact that there will be two distinct discharge points. Both
points will have identical monitoring requirements.
If any parts, measurement frequencies oT 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 Quality or permits
required by the Division of Land Resources, the Coastal Area Management Act or any other Federal or Local
governmental permit that may be required. If you have any questions concerning this permit, please contact
Toya Fields at telephone number (919) 733-5083, extension 551.

Hi Toya,
Please don't worry about it. It is a minor facility and sometime you guys issue the
permit without requesting a staff report and specially when it is a minor facility.
However, when I saw a request for recommendation I was surprised since there is no
need for us to comment on something that we did not do a staff report for.

Summary
This dewatering project drains two parcels. Parcel #1 was formerly a firestone facility, a gasoline/service
station, and an automotive sales/service business. An investigation has revealed the presence of
petroleum -impacted soil and chlorinated compounds. Petroleum sources include former petroleum
underground storage tanks (USTs), underground hydraulic lifts, a potential oil -water separator, and floor
drains. TCE (tetrachloroethene) sources were not identified, however according to information submitted
by the permittee, it is not uncommon to find this pollutant in downtown areas.
Parcel #2 is currently a paved parking lot. Various businesses and residences, including an auto -radiator
repair business, formerly occupied the space. Assessments on this parcel do not indicate any adverse
environmental conditions other than potential heating oil USTs/ASTs that may have heated former
residential structures.
The facility is not initially proposing to remediate the groundwater. They plan to simply dewater the site.
Initial data from 4 monitoring wells data indicate the following pollutants have the potential to be

This segment of Little Sugar Creek is listed on the 2006 draft 303(d) list due to both overall and aquatic life
impairments. The impairments are due to fecal coliform standard violations and impaired biological
integrity. Potential sources are urban runoff, storm sewers, and municipal point sources.
The 2004 Catawba Basin Plan notes that Little Sugar Creek is one of several streams collectively draining
the metropolitan center of Charlotte. Similar habitat conditions are found at all sample sites within the
watershed: sand/silt substrate, severe bank erosion, and disturbed or nonexistent riparian vegetation. In
2002, declines in habitat were noted on Little Sugar Creek, but this was most likely due to severe drought.

Just to make things even clearer. This is the plan we are shooting for.
There will be two discharge points, one for each parcel. The larger
parcel has two de -watering systems simply due to the massive size of the
parcel. One of these de -watering systems was shown to have targeted
compounds at concentrations that warrant treatment, while the second
de -watering system was below treatment concentrations. Therefore, we
were going to combine the treated water with the water that did not
warrant treatment and discharge at one point. At the same time, we are
going to track the discharge of the portion of the larger parcel that at
this time does not warrant treatment. If lab analysis in the future
indicates a need to treat this groundwater, we will have the ability to
re -rout the groundwater to the treatment system. Otherwise, we will
continue to discharge as previously noted.
The second parcel was shown to be below applicable standards and would
have a second discharge point. If in the future lab analysis of
groundwater collected from this second parcel indicate the need to
treat, this groundwater will also be routed to the treatment system.
I hope this helps out even further. Look forward to hearing from you on
any other comments. Thanks Toya!

Subject: Re: Wachovia draft permit
Thanks John, I think I was a little confused.
So there are two dewatering systems on the large parcel, but these will
be combined, treated, and discharged at one point to a storm drain.
Then there is one dewatering system on the small parcel that will be
discharged into a second point to a storm drain.
I'll need to have a separate page *for each discharge point*. So if
each dewatering system (in the above case, 3 total) will have its own
distinct discharge point to a storm drain, then that is considered 3
outfalls. If you are going to have one for the large parcel and one for
the small parcel then that will be 2 outfalls. I don't need to know
about internal sample streams, only final discharge points.
Either way, I need to clarify it in the permit but it won't need to go
back out to notice.

We were planning on sampling at two locations (one for each parcel)

discharge both parcels into one master effluent, we will try and do

I can change the name without it going back out to public comment.
Keep
in mind that the permit will remain even after the construction is
complete.
How are you going to handle treatment from both parcels? In our phone
conversation you mentioned that you would want to have the option to
treat both with the same unit. If you want to keep the two discharge
points then I'll add a second identical limits page so that there is
one
for each parcel. You will have to sample at both discharge points.

I happened to notice on the Supplement to Permit Cover Sheet on the
DRAFT permit that indicates "Discharge dewatering water from a
groundwater remediation project located at 500 Block of South Tryon
Street, Charlotte, North Carolina". While a technicality, is it
possible
to change that wording to "construction project" as opposed to
"groundwater remediation project" without having to go through the
whole

bi-product of the construction project, but this is a true

RE: Wachovia draft permit
two
parcels, the larger parcel is the 500 block of South Tryon and the
smaller parcel is a skinny tract of land located along Stonewall
Street
between South Tryon and South College Street. We had proposed to
discharge groundwater from the larger parcel to a storm drain on the
corner of 1st Street and South Tryon and the groundwater from the
smaller parcel to a storm drain at the intersection of Stonewall and
South College, both of which discharge to Little Sugar Creek. I

Subject: Wachovia draft permit
Hi John,
I got your voicemail requesting a copy of the draft permit for the
Wachovia dewatering project. I've attached the documents. The permit
was actually sent to notice on 4/19 and not 4/5 as I originally
thought.
If you have any questions, let me know.

Dear Ms. Wilson:
J'AN' 2 7 2006
January 25, 2006
ECS Project 08-3515
ECS, Ltd., on behalf of Wachovia Bank, has obtained the streamflow data at the proposed discharge
location.
The following is an excerpt of the text provided by J. Curtis Weaver a Hydrologist and PE
with the USGS North Carolina Water Science Center located in Raleigh, North Carolina.
In response to your inquiry about the low flow characteristics (7Q10 and 30Q2) for a location on
Little Sugar Creek in Charlotte (Mecklenburg County), the following information is provided:
A check of the lowflow files here at the USGS North Carolina Water Science Center indicates the
previous determination of low flow discharges at two locations near your point of interest. These
estimates (station id 0214640680 at NC Hwy 16, and 0214641790 at Princeton Ave) were
completed using 7Q10 yield values of 0.066 and 0.084 cfs per sgmi, based on flow characteristics
determined at nearby sites where historic discharge records are available (including a previous
gaging station operated 1914-77, station id 02146500, drainage area 41.0 sgmi). The 30Q2
estimated for the site at Princeton avenue was based on a 30Q2 yield of about 0.21 cfsm, based
on the previous gaging station. With a long period of record dating back to the 1920's, it would
be expected that data reflective of natural flow conditions were collected at this site. However, at
the end of the record, there were noted diversions into the basin upstream from the site, and
urbanization had already become a recognized characteristic of this particular watershed.
Examining the map image you sent, your site of interest is located near where the US Highway 74
(Independence Blvd) crosses the stream. The USGS does not have any discharge records at this
location, but the drainage area has been computed to be 10.20 sgmi-(station id 0214640695).
As previously discussed with you, the USGS currently operates a gaging station on Little Sugar
Creek at Medical Center Drive (station id 02146409, drainage area 11.8 sgmi), having collected
continuous records of discharge since October 1994. A quick low -flow analysis based on the
available records through March 30, 2005 (the end of the 2004 climatic year) indicates the 7Q10
is 1.25 cfs (about 0.106 cfsm) and the 30Q2 is 4.10 cfs (about 0.194 cfsm). The 7Q10 yield
values are somewhat higher than those used in the previous requests, and could be reflective of
diversions into Little Sugar Creek. However, the 30Q2 yield is a little lower than that determined
for the previous gaging station (02146500) located further downstream. The possibility of non-

natural flow conditions being reflected in the discharge records collected at the current gaging
station is further evidenced by the average discharge. The average discharge for the period of
record at the gaging station is 19.1 cfs, equivalent to about 1.6 cfsm. This average yield is also
higher than the 1.1 cfsm typically cited for "natural -flow " conditions in area streams.
Putting all the above information together makes it challenging to reach a definitive conclusion
concerning a proper set of low flow characteristics for your location. The presence of a
continuous -record gaging station downstream of your location is indeed very helpful, but then on
the other hand, a recognition that flow conditions may not be reflective of natural flow creates
some uncertainty in assessing the proper low flow discharges. - -
Thus, for so-called current or as -is flow conditions, I would cite the above values from the gaging
station, noting the location of the gaging station at Medical Center Drive downstream from your
site of interest. For estimates that may be more reflective of natural flow conditions, the most
reasonable conclusion is to acknowledge the historical data limitations for this basin and suggest
that yield values may be lower, but such quantification of natural flow characteristics will be
difficult in a basin located within a highly developed setting.
We hope this discussion provides the information necessary. If you have any questions or comments,
please do not hesitate to contact me at (336) 209-5835.

OFFICE OF THE CITY CLERK
January 17, 2006
ECS Project 08-3515
ECS, Ltd., on behalf of Wachovia Bank, is requesting a NPDES permit be issued for water generated
during the drilling of the blast boreholes and dewatering wells which will be stored on the site ground
surface until dewatering activities begin and the disposal of the water collected during the dewatering
activities proposed at the subject site.
Back round Information
The subject site is divided into two parcels. The first parcel is a city block bounded by Church Street to
the northwest, 1't Street to the northeast, Stonewall Street to the southwest and Tyron Street to the south
east in Charlotte, North Carolina. The second parcel is a.0.46 acre rectangle located at the east comer of
the intersection of Tyron Street and Stonewall Street in Charlotte, North Carolina. Figure I is a LiSGS
map showing the location of the two parcels. The site is proposed to be redeveloped with a Wachovia
mixed use development including a commercial office tower, a residential condominium tower and a
commercial retail arcade. Previous environmental and engineering investigations have been conducted on
the site. A review of the previously conducted assessments indicates that the first parcel was historically
developed with a Firestone tire facility (1959 to present), a gasoline/service station (1929 to 1943) and an
automotive sales/service business (1929-1984). Assessment of the site has revealed the presence of
petroleum impacted soil and the presence of groundwater impacted with petroleum and chlorinated
compounds above North Carolina groundwater quality standards. Sources of petroleum impact include
former petroleum underground storage tanks (USTs), underground hydraulic lifts, a potential oil/water
separator and floor drains. The source of the chlorinated compound tetraebloroethene (PCE) was not
identified. However, chlorinated compounds are extremely mobile and migrate rapidly through soil and
groundwater. Therefore, based the long history of commercial development of the site and surrounding
properties, it is not uncommon to detect the presence of chlorinated compounds in groundwater in
downtown settings. The second parcel is currently paved and used as a parking lot. The site was
historically occupied by Charlotte Liberty Mutual (approximately 1976 to 1987), Knight Publishers
(approximately 1966 to 1976), Elks Club Lodge (approximately 1941 to 1966), Salvation Army
(approximately 1929 to 1936), Knights of Columbus Lodge (approximately 1911 to 1929). St. Mary's
Seminary was located on a portion of the second parcel from approximately 1900 to 1911. Dwellings
were located on the other portion of the parcel from approximately 1900 to 1929 and an auto radiator
repair business was located on the south end of the second parcel in 1929.

Two areas of impacted soils were identified beneath the first parcel by Environmental Investigations (EI).
The extent of impacted soil was based on laboratory analysis of soil samples collected during
environmental investigations and field data collected during geotechnical investigations. In the western -
central portion of the site, an estimated quantity of 8,250 tons (approximately 5,500 yds3) of impacted soil
was identified. In the eastern portion of the site near the intersection of South Tryon Street and West 1"
Street, an estimated quantity of 3,000 tons (approximately 2,000 yds3) of impacted soil was identified.
The total estimated quantity of impacted soil estimated by El is between 11,250 and 14,250 tons. Based
on our experience, we estimate that approximately 5,500 to 7,500 tons of impacted soil will need to be
disposed at an approved facility. A review of the Phase I by EI does not indicate the presence of
recognized environmental conditions at the second parcel other than potential heating oil USTs/ASTs that
may have heated former residential/commercial structures. The radiator shop on the southern portion of
this site in the late 1920's is downgradient to where dewatering activities will occur and there is no
documented indications of a release associated with this former radiator shop. For the purposes of site
redevelopment, the entire site will be excavated to an approximate depth of 80 feet bgs.
The water collected from the first parcel would discharge to the storm drain located on the east comer of
the intersection of I" Street and Tyron Street and the second parcel would discharge to the storm drain
located on the south comer of the intersection of Stonewall Street and College Street. Figure 1 shows the
approximate discharge locations. The storm drains discharge to Little Sugar Creek. The project length is
estimated as one to two years top complete. The attached table lists the available groundwater data for
the site. Further analytical testing cannot be performed until dewatering commences because the wells
located on site have been abandoned.
Engineering Alternative Analysis
Evaluation of potential restrictions to a wastewater discharge to surface waters
Streamflow data at the proposed discharge location is not available at this time. It will be submitted as
soon as it becomes available.
Little Sugar Creek is a Class C waterway. Therefore, there are no restrictions on watershed development
or types of discharges.
A review of the Catawba River Basinwide Water Quality Plan dated September 2004 and prepared by
Dave Toms with the NC Department of Environment & Natural Resources, Division of Water Quality —
Planning does not list any NPDES permitting strategies that limit wastewater discharges to particular
streams within the basin.
Little Sugar Creek is on the 303(d) list as an impaired waterway. There is a TMDL for fecal coliform of
9.4x101' efu/100 ml. Based on the project description and site contaminants, it is not anticipated that any
fecal coliform will be discharged. into the storm sewer.
Endangered species are not present in the proposed discharge location.
Non Municipal Flow Projections
Until operations commence, a reasonable flow projection cannot be determined.

Evaluation of technologically feasible alternatives
Alternative A. Connection to an Existing Wastewater Treatment System
Charlotte -Mecklenburg Utilities is responsible for the sanitary sewer system for the subject site. They do
not accept groundwater, stormwater, or other discharges to the sanitary sewer. A letter from Charlotte -
Mecklenburg Utilities is enclosed.
Altemative B. Land Application
Land application would not be. a feasible alternative in downtown Charlotte based on land constraints
within the city.
Alternative C. Infiltration Galleries
This alternative cannot be properly evaluated until there is a clear definition of the contaminant level and
flow projections. Once dewatering begins, this alternative will be evaluated.
Alternative D. In -Situ Groundwater Remediation Wells
In -situ groundwater remediation wells would not be a feasible alternative for this site because the site is
being dewatered; a remediation system is not being constructed.
Alternative E. Closed -Loop Groundwater Remediation Wells
Closed -loop groundwater remediation wells would not be a feasible alternative for this site because the
site is being dewatered; a remediation system is not being constructed.
Alternative F. Direct Discharge to Surface Waters
Direct discharge to the surface water is feasible for this site. Storm drains are located in the vicinity of
the site. The discharge to the storm drain will not create a hazardous condition. All other considerations
have been met as described previously.
Alternative F, direct discharge to surface waters is the most viable option at this time.
