PO Box 131 Burlington, NC 27216-0131 Subject: Letter dated February 20, 2007 NPDES General Permit No. NCG140086 (Pittsboro) NPDES General Permit No. NCG140087 (Siler City) Chatham County Dear Mr. Woody: This is in response to your letters dated February 20, 2007 concerning the Chandler Concrete facilities in Chatham County. I do want to clarify that the Notice of Violations were not issued based on the pH of the water stored on -site. I understand that the stormwater that flows from outfall 2 at the Siler City facility does not contain process water and that it is hard to collect a sample. The Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan at that facility specifies that this is an outfall and therefore will be monitored. If this is something you fill should be changed then the plan needs to be revised accordingly. Please note that if there is no discharge during the spring or fall as specified in the permit then this should be documented for the qualitative monitoring and kept on file. If I can be of further assistance, please contact me at: (919) 791-4200 (or email: stephanie.brixey@ncmai1.net).

As for the items you indicated as being in violation I offer these comments. Item 2. The storm water that flows from the outfall number 2 contains no discharge from our process area and furthermore it will be very hard to collect a representative sample due to the fact that it will be very similar to a sheet flow spread out over a 15 to 20 foot span. There is no point source. It is my recommendation that this outfall be deleted from the sampling requirements. Item 3. As was mentioned to you during your inspection that there was no discharge observed during the period of September — November of 2005. This was a misunderstanding on the part of the plant manager. There is now a signed copy of the Qualitative Monitoring form in the plan indicating there was no discharge observed during this time. I have also instructed the plant manager to indicate on the proper form that there was no discharge if this occurs in the future. Item 5. I do not question the reading you obtained on the pH, but I did notice that there was no water being discharged. I explained to you that this water is recycled back to the truck wash station and also used for dust control in order to eliminate discharges. The permit addresses the parameters of the water being discharged. It does not say that we can't contain water on our site that is outside those parameters. A pH control device has been ordered to keep any potential discharge of water in the range of 6-9. POST OFFICE Box 131 • BURLINGTON, NORTH CAROLINA 27216-0131 TELEPHONE: 336.226.1181 / FAx: 336.570.0557 Ms. Stephanie Brixey Division of Water Quality Siler City Plant # 109 I note that items number 2 and 3 deal with paper work and have nothing to do with the quality of any water that has been or will be discharged. Item number 5 is self- explanatory, but I contend that the permit does not restrict us from storing water that is out of the parameters of the permit requirements for discharge. I therefore request that the NOV for all issues be rescinded and would appreciate your response. Thank you for your positive comments and suggestions. Chandler Concrete Company strives to maintain our plants in manner that will be environmentally friendly. We will continue to make improvements in order to be compliance with all environmental regulations. Sincerely, OamesT Woody Environmental Manager Michael F. Easley, Governor William G.

Your help was appreciated as it eased the inspection process. The following observations were made: The facility does have a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) on site. The plan was last revised 8/16/2004.Mr. Woody is in the process of updating the plan. The Facility Inspection program includes monitoring discharge outfalls, quarterly housekeeping inspections, secondary containment releases, inspecting the dust collection system and inspecting for spills and releases. Employee training is documented. This site has 2 storm water discharge outfalls. No monitoring has been conducted at outfall 002. Mr. Woody feels that there may be some contamination at this outfall because of the chicken facility next door. Outfall 002 is on the property line of Chandler Concrete and Gold Kist. Gold Kist parks their refrigerated trailers in this area. Mr. Woody and Mr. Brian Teague of Chandler Concrete said that these trailers sometimes leak fluids from inside them. The stormwater from this area then runs over the curb and the sample would have to be collected on the side of the highway. The General Permit requires qualitative and analytical monitoring at each outfall. If you feel that Gold Kist is an issue you may want to discuss these concerns with them and make arrangements so they do not park trailers on your property. 3. The General Permit states in Part III Section F, "Qualitative monitoring will be performed twice per year, once in the spring (April - June) and once in the fall (September - November)." It was noted that this was conducted in January of 2005 and in June of 2006. Mr. Woody said he did not think there was a discharge at any other time. There was no documentation stating this. 4. Analytical monitoring had been completed as required. ` rCarolina ura//y Noah Carolina Division of Water Quality Raleigh Regional Office Surface Water Protection Phone (919) 791-4200 Customer Service Internet: h2o.encstate.ne.us 1628 Mail Service Center Raleigh, NC 27699-1628 FAX (919) 571-4718 1-877-623-6748 An Equal OpportunitylAKrmadve Action Employer— 50% Recycled/10% Post Consumer Paper Chandler Concrete Plant #109 NPDES NCG140087 Water held in the last pond had a pH of 11.92.

There has been much done to be in compliance with the General Storm Water Permit. This includes the development of the two books that you referenced, training on awareness and compliance, performing site inspections, cleaning property of potential environmental hazards, spending capital dollars in construction of settling ponds, paving work area, construction of admixture containment just to name a few. As to your list of violations these are the responses. a) I do not contest that the contents of the holding cell had a pH of 10.3. This is not a violation. The point is that water was not leaving that cell to be discharged off the property. As explained at the time of the inspection this water is pumped back into the process area to be used to rinse off the trucks and added to the water tanks on the trucks. b) There is a statement in the SW3P handbook on page 2 under Site Assessment that there has been no significant spills or leaks at this location in the past three years. This book was just revised this year. If a significant spill or leak occurs our people have been instructed to notify the proper authorities, make a notation of any such occurrence and place it in the SW3P book. c) It is of our opinion that if a spill occurs to the truck wash chemical storage tank that it will be captured in the settling ponds. After all this is an acid solution and would help neutralize the water in these ponds. d) Semi-annual inspections are required for all of our locations. Copies of this data have been kept at our corporate office. Copies of this data are being sent to this plant location. tioU ,� nen d, tvw CSWEAT U I e) Annual sampling data is submitted to the State as per the permit requirements. Copies of this data are kept in the corporate office. I was not aware that they needed to be on file at the individual locations. These copies are being sent to this plant location to be kept in the SW3P. f) This is a very harsh negative statement. I disagree with you, there is evidence that much work has been done to comply with the permit requirements of implementing the plan. There has been training, inspections, sampling, proper preventative maintenance on the vehicles and plant, as well as implementing BMPs. I appreciate your recommendations. I will admit that more detail can always be added. Our philosophy is to always strive to meet or exceed permit requirements. We believe in keeping it simple, and covering the major issues and concerns. Several of your recommendations are not addressed in the actual permit. There is no mention as to the order of listing in the guidelines from the EPA. It is of our contention that all of the major items of the permit are covered. As I related to you in our meetings that there has to be some consideration as to the cost of compliance to these permits. For small, low volume locations such as this some things are not economically feasible. We would welcome any help from you as to how to economically adjust the pH of the water to be in compliance with the permit requirements. Chandler Concrete has already spent considerable dollars to improve this site in order to be in compliance with the permit. By recycling the storm/process water we have reduced the discharge from this plant considerably. By the construction of the liquid admixture containment we have all but eliminated the possibility of any contaminated discharge. You stated that the industry has had ample time to bring these sites in compliance. I respond that the conditions under the original permit were changed drastically upon the renewal. Our industry has been working through the state and national associations to be in compliance with the storm water permitting. At the present time there is no economically feasible method to meet the discharge regulations. We will continue to strive to meet ,.ill permit requirements. Since there appears to be no violations of the General Storm Water Permit at this location I request that the NOV be rescinded. If not then I request the right to appeal.

Box 131 Burlington, NC 27216 Subject: Notice of Violation Failure to Implement Stormwater Permit Permit No. NCG 140087 Siler City, NC Chatham County Dear Mr. Woody On September 25, 2002 Mr. Myrl Nisely of the Raleigh Regional office of Division of Water Quality met with Norman Suits to make a compliance inspection of Chandler Concrete Plant 109 in Siler City. Mr. Suits' help was greatly appreciated. History: A general stormwater permit for ready mix concrete production facilities was first issued in 1994. The permit was revised effective August 1, 1999, and that version gave all permit holders 24 months, until August 31, 2001 to fully establish the elements required by the permit. Documentation is in two three-ring binders, one labeled Stormwater SPPP and the other Environmental Handbook. The SPPP manual was issued in May, 2002. Together these provide the basic planning and forms to use, but there was little data to show execution and active compliance. Under the five year records retention requirement, there should have been records in the manual of an implemented stormwater program from about 1997 to the present. The following violations of Siler City Permit No. NCG140087 were observed: a) The contents of the holding cell from which water is released showed pH 10.3. This will be a violation of the permit limit of 6 to 9 pH when released unless the pH is lowered. b) There was no list of significant spills, or a signed page specific to this location stating that there had been none. Significant spills are defined as at or above the reportable quantity Chandler Concrete, October 1, 2002 p. 2 for that substance, but any spill large enough to be cleaned up should be called in to the Regional office and be recorded on the SPPP spill page. c) In response to the letter of NOV of November 29, 2001, significant changes have been made meeting the secondary containment issues addressed in that letter. However, it appears that containment of a catastrophic spill from the Truck Wash chemical storage tank, especially if during a hard rain, would likely flow with enough velocity to escape the channel meant to direct the spill into the first cell. Please examine whether an additional wall beyond the channel is needed to make certain the spill is captured as planned. d) No semi-annual site inspections were available e) There was no evidence of annual sampling or certification that none was needed because of no discharge (Section B). f) In summary, that has been almost no implementation of the plan per Section A9. On the plus side, Employee Training in May, 2002 was documented to have been provided to all employees at that location. Containment and storage for admixture chemicals via the dedicated building is an outstanding way of handling those materials. In a meeting at the Raleigh Regional office on September 28 with Myrl Nisely and me, the following improvements in the Chandler program were recommended: • Consolidate the stormwater materials presently in the two binders into the site -specific SPPP binder • Organize the program elements in the same order they are listed in the permit. Tabs labeling the parts will be helpful to users and inspectors • For Part II Section A 1.(a), Prepare a USGS-type map "zoomed" in or out as necessary to show the facility's location in reference to transportation routes and the route of all stormwater discharges all the way to the receiving water(s). Clearly identify the name of receiving stream(s). • The narrative required in (b) should be detailed for each plant, in addition to the present general description of manufacturing processes. • Give considerable detail on the site map as requested in (c), including designations of the area served by each discharge, even if the flow away from the site is sheet flow. • Section A2. calls for a narrative of just what practices will be used to control stormwater. Considerable detail is given in this section of the permit. In particular, more detail is needed for the BMPs for each drain site. • Water held in the last pond measured a pH of 10.95. Any discharges to waters of the State must meet the 6 to 9 pH specified in the permit. You indicated that a means of lowering pH was being considered. Our office is requiring an Authorization to Construct for pH installations, any plant expansions and for new facilities. • Documentation of Section A4, Preventative Maintenance and Good Housekeeping should be in the manual, covering the details as described in that part of the permit. • As mentioned above, Section A5 employee training must be the SPPP manual. • A6 Responsible Party should actually state a name, in addition to job title as is now done. • A means of showing that an update of the SPPP was accomplished at least annually should be provided (and more often, if major changes are made at the plant). 1628 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC 27699-1628 Telephone (919)571-4700 FAX (919)571-471 An Equal Opportunity Affirmative Action Employer 50% recycled/10% post -consumer pape Chandler Concrete, October 1, 2002 p. 3 Please respond in writing to Mr. Myrl Nisely of this office by December 31, 2002 to provide your consideration of better containment for the Truck Washing chemical and a general progress report.
