Subject
NPDES Permit Renewal Application (NPDES Permit NC0086827), Groundwater
Remediation System, Brenntag Mid-South, Inc., Durham, North Carolina.
Date.
Dear Ms. Thedford: February 9, 2016
On behalf of Brenntag Mid-South, Inc. (Brenntag), Arcadis G&M of North Carolina, Contact
Inc. (Arcadis) has enclosed one original and two copies of the National Pollutant Jim Shilliday
Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit renewal application for the continued
Phone
discharge of effluent from a groundwater remediation system at the Brenntag facility 819.854.1282
(former Southchem facility) in Durham, North Carolina (NPDES Permit NC0086827).
Treated groundwater from the remediation system is discharged to an on-site storm Emai�
sewer that, in turn, discharges to a drainage ditch located along the southern [e-mail]
boundary of the site. This drainage ditch conveys surface water to an unnamed
tributary of Third Fork Creek. No changes have been implemented to the Our ref
groundwater remediation system since issuance of the previous NPDES Permit on NC000368.0025
September 1, 2011.
Table 1 presents a summary of the treatment system effluent results for the last two
years of system operation (January 2014 through December 2015). Based on the
treatment system effluent results for the last two years, it appears that some of the
currently required analytical parameters have either not been detected for the past
two years or detected at very low concentrations below applicable surface water
standards. A review of Table 1 indicates that two of the sampling parameters (oil &
grease and iron) have not been detected at all during this two year period.
Additionally, zinc has only been detected once, and the detection was at 0.026
milligrams per liter(mg/L)which is just above the detection limit of 0.020 mg/L.
Also, bis(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate has been detected twice during this two year period
with both detections (0.85 and 0.68 micrograms per liter [pg/L])occurring below the
surface water standard of 1.2 pg/L. Therefore, Brenntag would like to request the
elimination of these analytical parameters (i.e., oil & grease, iron, zinc, and bis(2-
ethylhexyl)phthalate)from future permit monitoring requirements.
Imagine the result

ARCADIS Ms. Wren Thedford
February 9, 2016
Please note that sludge is neither generated nor discharged by the groundwater
remediation system; therefore, a sludge management plan has not been included
with this application. Any solids (e.g. silt, iron and manganese precipitate) generated
during the groundwater extraction and/or treatment processes are filtered from the
treatment stream using bag filters and granular activated carbon units. The treated
effluent is sampled on a monthly basis for total suspended solids in accordance with
the monitoring requirements for the site.
Other items enclosed with this letter in support of the NPDES permit renewal
application include the following:
• Table 1 —summary of the effluent sampling results for a two year period between
January 2014 and December 2015 supporting the requested reduction of
sampling parameters discussed in this letter;
• Figure 1 - USGS topographic map of the project area that depicts the location of
the system outfall;
• Figure 2 -site map that depicts the route of the treated water to the discharge
point;
• Attachment A—a copy of the December 2015 Discharge Monitoring Report
which summarizes the most recent analytical data for the system effluent.
If you have any questions regarding the information presented in the NPDES permit
application or any of the supporting material, please call me at(919) 854-1282.
Sincerely,
Arcadis G&M of North Carolina, Inc.
