Dear Mr. Stephens:
The Division of Water Resources (the Division) has found an error in your active permit, effective December
1, 2011. The parameter code for Total Suspended Solids (TSS) should read C0530 - not C0556.
We have therefore generated change -pages to correct this error. Please insert these pages into your existing
permit and discard the old pages. We regret any inconvenience this may have caused your organization.
This permit is not transferable except after notifying the Division of Water Resources. The Division may
require permit modification, or revocation and re- issuance. Please note that this permit does not affect your
legal obligation to obtain other permits required by the Division of Water Resources, the Division of Land
Resources, the Coastal Area Management Act, or other federal or local governments.
If you have questions, or if we can further assist you, please contact Joe R. Corporon, LG at
r_ioe.corporon e,ncdenr.g_o_v] or call his direct line 919- 807 -6394.
Respec lly,
'Thomas A. Reeder, Director "

A. (L) EFFLUENT LIMITATIONS AND MONITORING REQUIREMENTS
Beginning on the effective date of the permit and lasting until expiration, the Permittee is authorized to discharge
from Outfall 001. Such discharges shall be limited and monitored by the Permittee as specified below:

Footnotes:
1. Flow — During periods of no flow, the Permittee shall submit a monthly Discharge Monitoring
Report (DMR) indicating "No discharge ". Flow shall be monitored with each discharge event
and may be monitored in one of four ways:
a) measure flow continuously;
b) calculate flow [see section A. (3.)] Rational Equation) based on total rainfall per unit
area draining to the outfall; exclude built -upon areas (best method for facilities with
large runoff - collection ponds);
c) estimate flow at 20- minute intervals during the entire discharge event; or.
d) report flow based on discharge pump logs.
2. Oil and Grease — where possible, the grab sample should be skimmed from the surface of a
quiescent (calm water) zone.
3. Acute Toxicity (Fathead Minnow, 24- hour), annually [see Special Condition A. (2.)].
Units: mg/L = milligrams per liter
gg/L = micrograms per liter
MTBE = methyl tertiary butyl ether
Conditions:
• The Permittee shall discharge no floating solids or foam.
• The Permittee shall discharge no tank solids, tank bottom water, or tank rag layer.
• The Permittee shall not discharge tank (or pipe) contents following hydrostatic testing unless benzene
concentration is less than 1.19µg/1., and toluene concentration is less than 11 µg/L.

Permit NC0000795
A. (2.) ACUTE TOXICITY MONITORING (ANNUAL)
The Permittee shall conduct annual toxicity tests using protocols defined as definitive in EPA 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 permittee will conduct one test annually, with the annual period beginning in January of
the calendar year of the effective date of the permit. The annual test requirement must be performed and
reported by June 30. If no discharge occurs by June.30, notification will be made to the Division by this
date. Toxicity testing will be performed on the next discharge event for the annual test requirement.
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. Additionally, DWQ Form AT -1 (original) is to be sent
to the following address:
Attention: North Carolina Division of Water Quality
Environmental Sciences Section
1621 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699 -1621
Completed Aquatic Toxicity Test Forms shall be filed with the Environmental Sciences Section no later
than 30 days after the end of the reporting period for which the report is made.
Test data shall be complete and accurate and include all supporting chemical /physical measurements
performed in association with the toxicity tests, as well as all dose /response data. Total residual chlorine
of the effluent toxicity sample must be measured and reported if chlorine is employed for disinfection of
the waste stream.
Should any test data from either these monitoring requirements or tests performed by the North Carolina
Division of Water Quality 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.
