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
I NPDES Program no later October 11, 2013 (approximately 30 days after receiving this document).
Your written comments are welcome, but not mandatory.
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 now required of all discharges to Water Supply (WS) waters.

Upon review of your monitoring history, DWR finds no record of discharge from this facility (Jan2008-
Sep2013) since last renewal. Based on this record, the Division has conducted no reasonable potential
analysis (RPA), and has made only minor changes to this permit. During periods of no discharge,
please continue to submit monthly Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMRs) indicating “No flow” as
required by this permit.
The Division of Water Resources (DWR or the Division), in accord with your request to renew the
subject permit (received September 27, 2012), hereby transmits a permit 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.

Similarly, since last renewal EPA has revised standards for Methyl Tertiary Butyl Either (MTBE) as
Fluman Health (1500 pg/L), and Waler Supply (19 pg/L). The Division has therefore deleted the
previous permit Special Condition for MTBE and relaxed Monthly monitoring to Semi-annually. We
have added monitoring for Naphthalene [code 34696] to detect the presence of diesel fuel. Finally, we
have updated your facility description and site map, and add parameter codes to permit Section A. (1.)
for your convenience.

Oil and Grease (O&G). Due to the requirement to sample during discharge at the designated outfall,
DWR has removed the table footnote [Section A. (1.)] requiring a “quiescent zone” for sampling
O&G as this sampling practice has been questioned as “non-operational.”

Page 4 of 4
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 (Pimephctles 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 .Xnnual monitoring.
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.
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.
ACUTE TOXICITY MONITORING (EPISODIC)

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 Form (MR-1) for the month in which it was
performed, using the appropriate parameter code. Additidnahy^ DWR Form AT-1 (original) is to be sent

required, the Permittee will complete the information located at the top of the aquatic toxicity (AT) test

Toxicity - This permit requires Acute Whole Effluent Toxicity (WET) testing Fathead Minnow
(Pimephales promelas), 24-hr definitive, LC-50 >100% [TAE6CJ. Since January 2008 this facility has
released no stormwater. Based on these data DWQ has previously relaxed the monitoring frequency from
Quarterly to Annually - no changes recommended.
For Renewal - DWR updated facility description and Vicinity Map; added parameter codes to Section A.
(1.). The Division has removed previous Special Condition for Methyl Tertiary Butyl Either (MTBE)
based on revised EPA Standards. Future MTBE compliance will be evaluated based on Human Health
Standard of l,500pg/L and Water Supply (WS) Standard at 19pg/L. Similarly, per new EPA Standard,

Facility Summary
This facility confines stormwater and maintenance wastewater behind benned areas [dikes]. The 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 in above-
ground storage tanks (ASTs) and in proximity to appurtenant piping, surface storage in excess of one (1)
million gallons, the facility is specifically excluded from coverage under North Carolina stormwater
regulations.
