Cc: John Groneck, ExxonMobil Environmental Advisor ExxonMobil Pipeline Company 2555 West Oak Street Selma, North Carolina 27576 I am writing on behalf of ExxonMobil Oil Corporation (ExxonMobil), operator of the ExxonMobil Selma Terminal. Per our telephone conversation on April 13, 2005, a letter dated April 13, 2005 and pertaining to Part 1 (A)(2) of the permit, ExxonMobil requested an additional four months of monitoring for MTBE. We believed that sampling through July 2005 would provide unquestionable results pertaining to the sampling and analysis of MTBE detection. We continued to monitor MTBE through July 2005 with no detection. The monitoring has resulted in 12 consecutive months of non-detection of MTBE. As specified in Part 1 (A)(2), we would like to request the Division to reduce or eliminate the MTBE monitoring frequency. We understand that granting this request shall constitute a minor modification to the NPDES permit. Extension Request - MTBE Monitoring ExxonMobil Selma, NC Terminal - NPDES Permit NC0027006 Mr. Mitch Hayes North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources Division of Water Quality 1628 Mail Service Center Raleigh, NC 27699-1628 / >/ E^pnMobil Pipeline Best Regards, /Hay Rhode Terminal Superintendent ExxonMobil Corporation April 13, 2005 Mr. Mitch Hayes Re: Dear Mr. Hayes: Cc: Kim Makuvek, ExxonMobil Environmental Advisor ExxonMobil Pipeline Company 2555 West Oak Street Selma, North Carolina 27576 I am writing on behalf of ExxonMobil Oil Corporation (ExxonMobil), operator of the ExxonMobil Selma Terminal. Per our telephone conversation on April 13, 2005, and pertaining to Part 1 (A)(2) of the permit, ExxonMobil hereby requests an additional four months of monitoring for MTBE. As we discussed last week, all MTBE limits have been non-detect beginning in March 2004 (first MTBE sampling event), through March 2005, with the exception of July 2004. As I explained in our conversation, ExxonMobil questions the lab analysis that resulted in the MTBE detection in July 2004. We believe that sampling through July 2005 will provide unquestionable results pertaining to the sampling and analysis of MTBE detection. If MTBE is detected during the next four months, ExxonMobil shall submit an MTBE Reduction Plan as required by the permit.

All stormwater from the parking lot and the loading rack flow to the first oil water seperator equipped with a gate valve to shut off discharge from the oil water seperator in case of a product release. There was no indication of any sheen in the first oil water seperator. The discharge flows to the second oil water seperator and then to the pond. There was no indication of any sheen in the second oil water seperator. Aerators are operated 24 hours/day. Flow is measured by a flow meter at the lower end of the pond. A staff gage is present with a 90 degree V notch weir. Water discharged from the pond is via three submerged (4" or 6") concrete pipes. No top water is discharged in case of product release. There was no discharge at the time of inspection. Receiving water could no be seen due to thick vegetation and most likely the creek had dried up due to drought. Water in the pond was clear with no indication of any sheen on the surface. Permit was modified on October 5, 2005 to reduce MTBE monitoring from monthly to quarterly based on no detection of MTBE for 12 consecutive months (August 2004 through July 2005). September 2004 through September 2005 DMR's reveled compliance with permit limit and monitoring requirements. All COC's were attached to the DMR's and contained all required information.
