Inspection Date: 02/16/2010 Inspection Type:Compliance Evaluation Reason for Visit: Routine
Inspection Summary:
Due to the effective date of the current NCG020000 general permit being January 1, 2010, this inspection was conducted to
evaluate compliance with the conditions of the previous permit that was effective from January 19, 2005 through December
31, 2009. Requirements of the previous permit included the development of a Stormwater BMP Plan, Analytical and
Qualitative Monitoring for stormwater only discharges,and Analytical Monitoring for mine dewatering and process
wastewater discharges. Inspection conducted with Mr. Ron Barnhill, General Manager, Mr.Mitchell Ratliff, Supervisor, and
Mr. T. F. Boone, Superintendent. Oldcastle Stone Products owns and operates three mining facilities, one in Richmond
County(Woodmont Mine)and two in Anson County(Federal/Richardson Mine & Lilesville Mine)that are in close proximity
to each other.A Stormwater BMP Plan was developed that encompasses these three mining facilities and was reviewed at
the Oldcastle office located on Hwy 74 East in front of the Lilesville Mine.The BMP Plan appeared to contain all required
components. Analytical Monitoring records for each of the three mines were also reviewed. Based on laboratory reports,
testing results for all parameters showed no exceedances of Cut-off Concentrations that were applicable under the previous
permit. Qualitative Monitoring records were not available at the time of inspection, but copies were received via fax on
February 17, 2010 as requested.
Specific to the Lilesville Mine, activities consist of material excavation and processing. There are three stormwater only
discharge outfalls located adjacent to the active mining areas. According to Mr. Barnhill,wastewater and stormwater runoff
from the processing areas and any overflows from the mine's settling ponds travels into other settling ponds that are owned
and monitored by the neighboring B.V. Hedrick mine. Therefore, monitoring is conducted under the requirements for
stormwater only discharges.
