Ross, Jr., Secretary North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources Phone (919) 791.4200 FAX (919) 788.7159 Surface Water Protection Raleigh, NC 27699-1628 Coieen H. Sullins, Director Division of Water Quality Compliance Evaluation Inspection ExxonMobile Selma Terminal NPDES Permit NC0027006 Johnston County The subject inspection was performed June 20, 2007. Your assistance and cooperation with this inspection was greatly appreciated. Attached is a Basinwide Information Management System (BIMS) inspection checklist summarizing the inspection. Below is a list of and findings and recommendations developed from the inspection: Mr. Ray Rhode, Terminal Superintendent ExxonMobile Selma Terminal 2555 West Oak Street Selma, NC 27576 3. The BIMS computer currently lists the classification of the subject facility as a Physical Chemical 1 (PC-1) facility. You are currently listed as the Operator in Responsible Charge (ORC) Physical Chemical - 1 (PC-1) with Gary Simcox as PC-1 back-up ORC. 2. The treatment facility consists of two oil/water separators in series with an aerated storage pond. Stormwater runoff and associated washwater from the loading rack, pump manifold, rack manifold, additive pump off, truck pump off containment area and the vapor recovery unit containment area flow into oil/water separator #1. This oil/water separator is a 10,000-gallon Enquip separator with a design capacity of 400 gallons/minute and is double-walled with an interstitial probe. A hydrocarbon sensor is located in the water compartment to sound an alarm if oil enters the water compartment. Rainwater that collects in the containment area for the Above Ground Storage Tanks (AST’s) and parking area are routed through oil/water separator #2. The combined flows from the oil/water separators discharge into the aerated pond. Flow from the pond is measured with an ultrasonic flow meter as water flows over a v-notch weir to valve-controlled basin. Discharge occurs when the valve is open. At the time of inspection, both aerators were in operation. Water in the pond appeared clear with no sheen detected. There was no discharge. The unnamed creek upstream of the discharge point was silty, muddy due to a recent heavy rain shower. 1. NPDES Permit NC0027006 was issued March 01, 2004 and will expire March 31, 2008. You are required to apply for permit renewal 180 days before pennit expiration date to avoid penalty assessment. The permit was modified October 05, 2005 to reduce MTBE monitoring from monthly to quarterly. co fl > L oe North Carolina Division of Water Quality Internet: www.ncwateriiuality.org An Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer-50% Recycled/10% Post Consumer Paper r Customer Service 1-877.623.6748 NorthCarolina Naturally 4. 5. 6.

Cc: Permit Files Central Files Commercial lab results, chain of custody records, and bench sheets were compared with data submitted on the DMR for the month of March 2007. No discrepancies were noted. All permit parameters, except toxicity, are analyzed by Test America in Nashville, TN. Advent Environ in Brentwood TN analyzes toxicity. Toxicity for March 2007 was recorded as >100%. Sincerely, Mitch Hayes Environmental Specialist Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMR’s) for the period March 2006 through March 2007 were reviewed for compliance with permit limit and monitoring requirements. The BIMS computer is flagging monitoring violation for EPA 625 because the code for EPA Method 625, 76028, is not written in the column at the top of the DMR. Please begin using the code “76028” for EPA Method 625 and record “see attached sheet” on the DMR in the EPA Method 625 column. Monitoring violations for Acute Toxicity are being reported. There were no other violations for the period. ExxonMobile - Selma Terminal CEI Page 2 I would like to thank you again for your assistance with this inspection.
