Subject: Draft NPDES Permit NC0036145
Blanchard Terminal
Grade PCNC
Johnston County
Dear Pennittee,
The Division has reviewed your request to renew the subject permit. Please review this draft carefully to ensure a
thorough understanding of the information, conditions,and requirements it contains.
The draft permit includes the following significant changes from the existing permit:
• Section A. (4.) has been updated to require electronic submission of
effluent data reports (DMRs). Federal regulations require electronic
submittal of all discharge monitoring. 1
• Monitoring for Turbidity was removed per NC Rule, turbidity
monitoring is only required if the receiving stream is listed as impaired
for turbidity.
• Monitoring for 624/625 in A.(1.) and special condition were removed.
• Relaxed Tox Test frequency was removed per NC Rule, annual testing
was changed back to quarterly and there is no longer an option to relax
back to annual testing.
• Added Special Condition A.(2.) Rational Equation — for calculating
flow.
The NPDES standard conditions(Parts II, III, and IV)that are a part of the permit are not included in this draft
document(cover,map, and Part I). The conditions are the same as in your current permit except that agency and
division names have been updated. The latest version is available at https://bit.ly/3k5NFaL and can be viewed
online or downloaded as a PDF file.
With this notification,the Division will solicit public comment on this draft permit by publishing a notice in
newspapers having circulation in the general Johnston County area,per EPA requirements. Please provide your
comments,if any,to me at the address below no later than 30 days after receiving this draft permit.
Following the 30-day public comment period,the Division will review all pertinent comments and take
appropriate action prior to issuing a final permit. If you have questions concerning the draft,please contact me at
[phone] or via e-mail at [e-mail].

DWR's eDMR system .
2. Flow—If no flow occurs a given month,the Pennittee shall submit a monthly
Discharge Monitoring Report(DMR)indicating"No flow"or"No Discharge." Flow shall be
monitored with each discharge event and may be monitored in one of four ways:
a. measure flow continuously;
b. Rational Method--calculate flow based on total rainfall per unit area,
including built-on area draining to the outfall [see A. (2.)];
c. estimate flow at 20-minute intervals during the entire discharge event; or
d. report flow based on discharge pump logs.
3. Samples to be collected concurrently with WET-Test sampling.
4. Whole Effluent Toxicity(WET)Testing—Acute WET testing,the monitoring shall be performed as
a Fathead Minnow(Pimephales promelas), quarterly, 24-hour static test. The tests will be
performed on a discharge event during each quarter(January-March,April-June,July-September,
and October-December). (See Section A. (3.)).
Conditions:
1. The Permittee shall discharge no floating solids or foam visible in other than trace amounts.
2. The Pennittee shall discharge no tank solids, tank bottom water,or tank rag layer.

3. Following hydrostatic tank testing, the Permittee shall discharge no tank(or pipe) contents with
concentrations of benzene exceeding 1.19 µg/L or toluene greater than 11 µg/L.
A. (2.) RATIONAL EQUATION - FOR CALCULATING FLOW
[G.S. 143-215.3(a)(2)]
The Rational Equation is one method for calculating runoff; find references and information in DWR's
Stormwater BMP Manual, Chapter 3, "Stormwater Calculations,"by addressing the following website:
https://www.deq.nc.gov/water-quality/surfac e-water-protection/spu/spu-bmp-manual-
documents/bmpman-ch03-swcalcs-20090616-dwq-spu/download
The Rational Equation:
Q=KuCIA
where:
Q =flow(peak flow rate (cfs or m3/sec).
Ku=units conversation factor= 1.008 for U.S.Sandaxl units (usually ignored because it
is so close to 1), or 0.278 for SI units.
C =dimensionless runoff coefficient for t i atershed, loi'isely defined as the ratio of
runoff to rainfall.
I= intensity of rainfall taken from the in ration-frequency curves for the
specified design return period at t e time o 'centration, tc (in/h or mm/h). tc=time of
concentration(time after the beg' . •f r.'I -xcess when all portions of the
drainage basin are contributing si -11,1, to ow at the outlet).
A=area of tributary water • d(ac 'N
The rational equation is used to cal .to th i •off • a region, given:
• runoff coefficient whic• •un •r infiltration and other potential losses in the region,
• rainfall intensity to ,w; egi•
• time it takes for runoff to trave om •e region's upper reaches to its outlet, and
• region's drainage .
A. (3.) ACUTE TOXICITY MONITORING (EPISODIC) (QUARTERLY)
[15A NCAC 02B .0200 et seq.] [15A NCAC 02B .0500 et seq.]
The permittee shall conduct quarterly acute toxicity tests 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, multiple-concentration 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).
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
Page 4 of 8

Permit NC0036145
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 below.
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,N.C. 27699-1621
Or, results can be sent to the email, ATForms.ATB(2i deq.nc.gov.
Completed Aquatic Toxicity Test Forms shall be filed with the En •nmental Sciences Section no later
than 30 days after the end of the reporting period for which the • ' made.
Test data shall be complete and accurate and include all su _forting the 1/physical measurements
performed in association with the toxicity tests, as well ll dos /respons ata. Total residual chlorine
of the effluent toxicity sample must be measured and rortedlorine is employed for disinfection of
the waste stream.
Should any test data from either these monitorin requirement !r tests performed by the North Carolina
Division of Water Quality indicate potential impacts to tl 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.
A.(4.) ELECTRONIC REPORTING - DISCHARGE MONITORING REPORTS
[G.S. 143-215.1 (b)]
Federal regulations require electronic submittal of all discharge monitoring reports (DMRs) and program
reports. The final NPDES Electronic Reporting Rule was adopted and became effective on December
