Concurrent with this notification, the Division will solicit public comment on the draft by publishing
notice in newspapers having circulation in the general Johnston County area, as required by the
NPDES Program. Please provide your written comments, if any, regarding this draft to DENR / DWR
/ NPDES Program no later September 16, 2013 (approximately 30 days after receiving this
document). Your comments are welcome, but not mandatory.
The Division has discontinued monitoring for Lead, based on all monthly analyses reported as “not
detected” during the past permit cycle (n = 53). Based on revised EPA standards for Human Health
of 1500 pg/L, and for Water Supply (WS) at 19pg/L, the Division has deleted quarterly monitoring
for Methyl Tertiary Butyl Either (MTBE) and its associated Special Condition.

Changes to the Previous Permit [see Fact Sheet - Renewal Summary]. Based on revised EPA surface
water-quality standards, DWR has replaced monitoring for Phenol [single compound] with Total
Recoverable Phenolics [32730]. This is required of all discharges to Water Supply (WS) waters. We
have also added monitoring for Naphthalene [code 34696] to detect the presence of diesel fuel.
Based on your renewal request for the subject site (received August 29, 2012), the Division of Water
Resources (DWR or the Division) hereby transmits a renewal draft for your review and comment.
Please review this draft carefully to ensure your understanding of the limits and monitoring conditions,
and to correct errors, if any.

Due to the requirement to collect samples during discharge at the designated outfall, DWR has
removed the Section A. (1.) table footnote requiring a “quiescent zone” for sampling Oil and Grease
(O&G). This sampling practice has been questioned as “non-operational.” Finally, we have updated
your facility description and site map, and add parameter codes to permit Section A. (1.) for your
convenience.
Following the mandatory 30-day public comment period, the Division will review all pertinent
comments, if any, and take appropriate action prior to issuing a final NPDES permit. If you have
questions concerning this draft, please e-mail me [[e-mail]], or call my private line

Per your verbal request [in our meeting at DWR’s Central Office on August 8. 2013 with Brad
Lambert, Steve Chalupa, John Hennessy, and Joe Corporon], DWR has reduced the sampling
frequency to Quarterly for all parameters monitored monthly, based on analytical data received
over the last permit cycle below the method detection limit (MDL). Please note that Quarterly
samples shall be collected concurrently with WET-test samples [see Section A. (1.)].

ACUTE TOXICITY MONITORING (EPISODIC)

The Permittee shall conduct quarterly acute toxicity tests [except when relaxed to Annual monitoring]
using protocols defined as definitive in E.P.A. Document EPA/600/4-90/027 entitled “Methods for
Measuring the Acute Toxicity of Effluents to Freshwater and Marine Organisms.” The monitoring shall
be performed as a Fathead Minnow (Pimephales promelas) 24-hour static test. Effluent samples for self­
monitoring purposes must be obtained below all waste treatment. The tests will be performed on a
discharge event during each quarter (January-March, April-June, July-September, October-
December), except when relaxed to Annual monitoring.
Should there be no discharge of flow from the facility during a quarter 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
Environmental Sciences Section at the address cited belpwf /
The parameter code for this test is TAE6C. All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit
condition will be entered on the Effluent Discharge Eorm (MR-1) for the month in which it was
performed, using the appropriate parameter code/Additionally^T)WR Form AT-1 (original) is to be sent
to the following address: \\ \\
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.

Facility Summary
WET Testing - This permit requires Acute Whole Effluent Toxicity (WET) testing using Fathead
Minnow (Pimephalespromelas), 24-hr definitive, LC-50 >100% [TAE6C]. Since last renewal
(April 2008) the Permittee reports all WET testing as “PASS” in 6 of 6 samples at Outfall 001.
Acute WET testing monitoring frequency was relaxed to Annual prior to the previous permit cycle
- no changes recommended.
This facility confines stormwater and maintenance wastewater behind bermed areas [dikes]. These
dikes are equipped with drain pipes controlled by hand-operated valves, normally closed. This
controlled discharge constitutes a point source to the environment. Because this facility stores fuel
hydrocarbons at the ground surface at quantities in excess of one (1) million gallons, it is
specifically excluded from coverage under conventional stormwater regulations, therefore
historically permitted under an individual NPDES permit.
