Subject: NOTICE OF VIOLATION
and RECOMMENDATION FOR ENFORCEMENT
NOV-2017-PC-0631
Permit No. NCG 020129
Radford Quarries of Boone — Bamboo Rd
Watauga County
Dear Dr. Cecile:
ROY COOPER
Governor
MICHAEL S. REGAN
Secretary
TRACY DAVIS
Director
On Tuesday, September 26, 2017, Sue White, Assistant Regional Engineer and Glen White,
Environmental Specialist of the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality — Division
of Energy, Minerals and Land Resources (NCDEQ — DEMLR), conducted an inspection of the
Radford Facility located at 5605 Bamboo Rd.in Boone as part of a complaint investigation
related to possible illicit wastewater discharge into the South Fork New River. The inspection
included observation and photographs of the conditions of the river upstream of the facility,
adjacent to the facility and as far as three (3) miles downstream of Radford Quarries. No
records evaluation was performed on that date.
On Friday, September 29, 2017, Sue White and Glen White, visited the facility and met with you
to review records and to walk the site. Your SWPPP (Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan is
maintained electronically and you had the documents forwarded to DEMLR via email.
This facility is covered under General Permit No. NCG 020129 which allows the discharge
of:
• Stormwater point source discharges associated with mining & quarrying of
nonmetallic minerals, mine excavation, processing, and vehicle maintenance;
• Authorized wastewater point source discharges from mining operations;
• Operations of wastewater treatment systems;
• Stormwater and/or wastewater point source discharges from like industrial
activities deemed by the Division of Energy, Minerals, and Land Resources
(DEMLR) to be similar to these operations in the process, or the discharges, or the
exposure of raw materials, intermediate products, by-products, final products, or
waste products.
State of North Carolina I Environmental Quality I Energy, Mineral and Land Resources
Winston-Salem Regional Office 1 450 Hanes Mill Road. Suite 300 1 Winston-Salem. NC 27103
336 776 9800

General Permit NCG020000 became effective on October 1, 2015 and expires September 30,
2020.
Effluent from this facility drains into the adjacent South Fork New River, class "C", "+", ORC
(Outstanding Resource Waters) of the New River Basin. ("+" symbol identifies waters that are
subject to a special management strategy specified in I5A NCAC 2B . 0225 the Outstanding
Resource Waters (ORW) rule, in order to protect downstream waters designated as ORW..)
The following observations, deficiencies and violations were found during NCDEQ's inspection
and subsequent file review:
Bypass. of Stormwater & Bypass of Wastewater Control Facilities:
General Permit NCG020000, Part II prohibits the bypass of stormwater and untreated
wastewater and Part V, Section C prohibits the bypass of stormwater control facilities
except where bypass is unavoidable to prevent loss of life, personal injury or severe
property damage. Permittee may allow bypass where effluent limitations (40 CFR
122.41(m)(2)] are not exceeded. in the river adjacent to the facility, turbidity was
observed and documented by photograph upstream and downstream as a result of
bypassing the BMP's.
2. Process Wastewater — Analytical Monitoring: .
General Permit NCG020000, Part IV, Section D in entirety; authorizes mine dewatering
wastewater, discharge of process wastewater, comingled stormwater & wastewater
discharges and recycle systems (overflows from recycle wastewater systems) discharge
associated with four distinct activities identified on each permittees COC. Process
wastewater comingled with stormwater shall be considered process wastewater and is
therefore subject to the required analytical monitoring. Monitoring must be provided in
accordance with the requirements and effluent limitations of Part IV, Section D and must
include parameters of Table 8 of that section of the permit. Monitoring must be
performed quarterly for one (1) full year and if effluent remains within parameters,
monitoring may be reduced to semi-annual monitoring. All records must be maintained
for a minimum of five (5) years. Discharge may not cause turbidity in excess of 10 NTU
for South Fork New River.
Records indicate that required analytical monitoring has not been performed. The facility
instead claims "No Discharge this period" for each required monitoring period. For "no
discharge" to be possible, all wastewater must be directed to a basin that does not
discharge during that required monitoring period.
3. Stormwater Discharges — Qualitative Monitoring:
General Permit NCG020000, Part IV, Section C, qualitative monitoring, provides an
inexpensive way to evaluate the effectiveness of the permittee's SWPPP and to identify
sources of pollution and to offer an opportunity to take corrective action before further
damage is incurred. Qualitative monitoring is a visual inspection of each outfall and in
accordance with the permit must be conducted on a semi-annual basis. Monitoring shall
be performed at each outfall during a measurable rainfall event and must be performed
once between January 1 and June 30 of each calendar year, and once between July 1 and
December 31 of each year.

3. Stormwater Discharges — Qualitative Monitoring:
Qualitative Monitoring must be performed on a semi-annual basis and documented for
each outfall. Monitoring does not appear to have been conducted semi-annually as
required. Monitoring must be performed during a measurable rainfall event. See
NCG020000 Part IV, Section A, Table 2 for Monitoring Schedule. Explain how this
issue will be addressed and when the issue will be resolved.
4. Operation & Maintenance of Pollution Controls:
Pollution control measures such as skimmer/riser basins, berms, diversions, silt fencing,
rock dams, etc. must be inspected regularly and maintained in order to function properly.
At this facility control devices have not been maintained and no treatment is being
provided because no wastewater drains to the treatment systems. Explain how this issue
will be addressed and when this issue will be resolved.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. This office may submit a recommendation for
enforcement to the Director of the DEMLR (Division of Energy, Minerals, & Land Resources)
regarding these issues and any future/continued violations that may be encountered. This office
requires that the violations, as detailed above, be abated immediately and properly
resolved. Environmental damage and/or failure to secure proper authorizations have been
documented on the subject tract as stated above. Your efforts to undertake activities to bring the
subject site back into compliance is not an admission, rather it is an action that must be taken in
order to begin to resolve ongoing environmental issues.
Pursuant to G.S. 143-215.6A, these violations and any future violations are subject to a civil
penalty assessment of up to a maximum of $25,000.00 per day for each violation. Your
above -mentioned response to this correspondence, the degree and extent of harm to the
environment and the duration and gravity of the violation(s) will be considered in any civil
penalty assessment process that may occur.
Should you have any questions regarding these matters, please contact Glen White at (336) 776-
9660 or Sue White at [phone].

Records indicate that Qualitative. Monitoring was performed once during calendar years
2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015. Qualitative monitoring was performed twice in.201,6 as
required and has been performed once thus far in 2017 and is within the rules of the
permit.
4. Operation & Maintenance of Pollution Controls:
As per Part V, Section C, Item 1 of the permit. At all times, permittee shall maintain
proper operation and maintenance of pollution control devices, facilities and systems of
treatment and control (and related appurtenances) which are used or installed by the
permittee to achieve compliance with conditions of this permit.
The facility has Riser Basins that were originally designed to capture process wastewater
to allow Settleable Solids and TSS (Total Suspended Solids) to settle out and to provide
for Turbidity reduction prior to wastewater being released back into the river. Design
plans indicate that diversion berms and swales were to be installed and maintained to
direct wastewater from production areas of the facility to the basin. The berms and
swales were initially installed but have not been maintained and currently no wastewater
is directed to the basin. The basin has not been maintained and the riser and the outfall
cannot be found in current condition. Outfalls must be easily reached for maintenance
and safety when monitoring.
Reuuired Response
Accordingly, you are directed to respond to this letter in writing within 15 calendar days of
receipt of this Notice. Your response should outline how the violations will be addressed and
should be sent to this office at the letterhead address and include the following: .
1. Bypass of Stormwater & Bypass of Wastewater Control Facilities: This facility has a
riser basin that was constructed to meet the stormwater and process wastewater treatment
requirements. The BMP's (Best Management Practices) have not been maintained and as
is the current operation of the facility, no process wastewater drains to the BMP. In order
for this issue to be corrected, all wastewater must go through a treatment device, such as
a Riser Basin, before it can be released into the river. Any discharge into the South Fork
New River cannot. allow turbidity in. excess of.10 NTU. Explain how this issue will be
addressed and when it will' be resolved. _
2. Process Wastewater Analytical Monitoring: Analytical monitoring must be conducted
quarterly for one full year and after that on a semi-annual basis if parameters are not
exceeded. Analytical monitoring must be conducted as per the schedule and parameters
listed in Part IV, Section D, Table 8 and Table.9. Wastewater discharge is allowed but
only at sites that provide analytical monitoring for wastewater discharged through a
treatment device such as a Riser/barrel or skimmer basin. Explain, how this issue will be
addressed and when it will be resolved.

Reason for Visit: Roufine
Inspection Summary:
On 09/26/2017, Glen White and Sue White, Environmental Inspectors with NCDEQ - DEMLR investigated a complaint of
turbidy and heavy milky discharge into the South Fork New River. The complaint, which included photographic evidence,
suggest that Radford Quarries, located on Bamboo Rd, may have been responsible for the illicit discharge.
Inspectors conducted an unannounced inspection of the river and of operations underway at the facility itself on that date.
Photographs were taken of the river itself upstream of the facility, adjacent to the facility and as far a three (3) miles
downstream of the facility, where turbidity had cleared. Photographs were taken of heavy discharge at the facility. No
pretreatment of process wastewater was being performed prior to discharge. Discharge came directly from operating
equipment, drained down the bank of the river and into the river where its current quickly moved sediment and turbid water
downstream.

PART 1— MONITORING, CONTROLS, AND LIMITATIONS FOR PERMITTED
DISCHARGES
SECTION A: STORMWATER POLLUTION AND PREVENTION PLAN (SPPP)
All permittees shall develop and implement a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP),
herein after referred to as the Plan. This Plan shall be considered public information in
accordance with Part IV, Standard -Conditions, Section E, Paragraph 3 of this General Permit.
The Plan shall include, at a minimum, the following items:
1. Site Plan. The site plan shall provide a description of the physical facility and the
potential pollutant sources that may be expected to contribute to contamination of
stormwater discharges. The site plan shall contain the following:
(a) A general location map (USGS quadrangle map or appropriately drafted
equivalent map), showing the facility's location in relation to transportation
routes and surface waters, the name of the receiving water(s) to which the
stormwater outfall(s) discharges, or if the discharge is to a municipal separate
storm sewer system, the name of the municipality and the ultimate receiving
waters, and accurate latitude and longitude of the point(s) of discharge. The
general location map.(or alternatively the site map) shall identify whether each
receiving water is impaired (on the state's 303(d) list of impaired waters) or is
located in a watershed for which a TMDL has been established, and what the
parameter(s) of concern are.
(b) A narrative description of storage practices, loading and unloading activities,
outdoor process areas, dust or particulate generating or control processes, and
waste disposal practices. A narrative description of the potential pollutants that
could be expected to be present in the stormwater discharge from each outfall.
(c) A site map drawn at a scale sufficient to clearly depict: the site property
boundary, the stormwater discharge outfalls, all on -site and adjacent surface
waters and wetlands, industrial activity areas (including storage of materials,
disposal areas, process areas, loading and unloading areas, and haul roads), site
topography, all drainage features and structures, drainage areas for each outfall,
direction of flow in each drainage area, industrial activities occurring in each
drainage area, buildings, existing BMPs (with design capacities), and permanent
impervious surfaces, such as roads or process areas that are unlikely to change
frequently. The site map shall include a distance legend. In addition, the
following industrial activity areas must also be identified on the site map: fueling,
engine maintenance and repair, vessel maintenance and repair, washing,
painting, sanding, blasting, welding, and metal fabrication.
BREC, P.A. Radford Quarries of Boone SWPPP I Bamboo Road Quarry 5

Permit No. NCG020000
(d) A list of significant spills or leaks of pollutants that have occurred during the
previous three (3) years and any corrective actions taken to mitigate spill
impacts.
(e) Certification that the stormwater outfalls have been evaluated for the presence
of non-stormwater discharges. The certification statement will be signed in
accordance with the requirements found in Part IV, Standard Conditions, Section
B, Paragraph 5. The permittee shall re -certify annually that the stormwater
outfalls have been evaluated for the presence of non-stormwater discharges.
2. Erosion and Sedimentation Control. The permittee shall implement the management
practices and the erosion and sedimentation control measures that are included in the
mining permit or erosion and sedimentation control permit issued by the Division of
Land Resources (DLR). Compliance with the DLR issued permit is considered a
requirement of this general permit. Any deviation from the DLR issued permit, or
amendments to the issued permit, that impacts water quality shall constitute a violation
of the terms and conditions of this general permit. All erosion and sediment controls
shall be inspected, and a respective written record of repairs and maintenance shall be
available'to DWQ inspectors. A signed copy of the issued permit including the
approved erosion and sedimentation control measures and the reclamation plan shall
be maintained on the site at all times. Once an area is released by the Division of Land
Resources in accordance with NC G.S. Chapter 74, Article 7, it shall no longer be subject
to this general permit.
3. Stormwater Management Plan. The stormwater management plan shall contain a
narrative description of the materials management practices employed which control or
minimize the exposure of significant materials to stormwater, including structural and
nonstructural measures. The stormwater management plan, at a minimum, shall
incorporate the following:
(a) Management of Stormwater Runoff and Runon. The permittee shall maintain
stormwater BMPs for mine excavation and disturbance areas, process areas, and
any other areas associated with mining or vehicle maintenance activities. In
addition, controls should be used to limit or isolate selected land disturbance
and process areas and limit the amount of offsite stormwater runon to those
areas. Appropriate Best Management Practices (BMPs) should be used to divert,
infiltrate, reuse or otherwise manage stormwater runoff and runon in a manner
that reduces pollutants in stormwater discharges leaving the site. Appropriate
BMPs may include but are not limited to: vegetative swales, berms, use of
reclaimed mine areas, and reuse of collected stormwater (such as for an .
industrial process or as an irrigation source).
BREC, P.A. Radford Quarries of Boone SWPPP I Bamboo Road Quarry 6

Permit No. NCG020000
(b) BMP Controls Inspection and Maintenance. All stormwater controls shall be
inspected. All inspections are to be documented with a written record of
repairs. BMPs shall be inspected by or under the direction of the permittee at
least once every seven calendar days and within 24 hours after any storm event
that results in a discharge, unless the site is inactive.
Reduced Inspections for inactive mines: For inactive mines that have obtained
an "Inactive Renewal' Mining Permit from DLR, BMPs must be inspected at
least once every month, and within 24 hours of any storm event of 0.5 inches or
more. For mines where active. mining has suspended temporarily, but the mine
maintains an active Mining Permit from DLR, the permittee must certify to DWQ
that all portions of the site where clearing, grading, and/or excavation activities
have temporarily ceased have been stabilized with vegetation, and may then
conduct BMP inspections within 24 hours of any storm event that results in a
discharge (no weekly minimum). The permittee must send certification to the
DWQ Regional Office of "inactive" status and may be subject to an inspection for
verification. The permittee must also notify the Regional Office upon resuming
mining activities.
A rain gauge and monitoring records are to be kept on site. BMPs shall be
operated and maintained. BMPs must be cleaned out when sediment storage
capacity is at 50% permitted volume. If visible sedimentation is leaving the
property, corrective action shall be taken to reduce the discharge of sediments.
Visible sedimentation shall be recorded with a brief explanation of measures
taken to prevent future releases, as well as any measures taken to remove the
sediment that has left the site. Visible sedimentation records shall be kept
onsite. All other stormwater specific controls (e.g. oil/water separators) shall be
inspected and qualitatively monitored (as per Part III. D) on a semi-annual
schedule. A log of all sampling data, including activities taken to implement
BMPs associated with vehicle maintenance activities, shall be maintained and
incorporated into the BMP Plan and kept onsite and available for inspection
purposes. These items shall be available for the duration of the permit term and
made available to the Director upon request. These data shall be sent to the
Regional Office upon request.
(c) Secondary Containment Requirements and Records. Secondary containment is
required for: bulk storage of liquid materials; storage in any amount of Section
313 of Title III of the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA)
water priority chemicals; and storage in any amount of hazardous substances, in
order to prevent leaks and spills from contaminating stormwater runoff. A table
or summary of all such tanks and stored materials and their associated
secondary containment areas shall be maintained. If the secondary containment
devices are connected to stormwater conveyance systems, the connection shall
be controlled by manually activated valves or other similar devices (which shall
BREC, P.A. Radford Quarries of Boone SWPPP I Bamboo Road Quarry 7

Permit No. NCG020000
be secured closed with a locking mechanism), and any stormwater that
accumulates in the containment area shall be at a minimum visually observed for
color, foam, outfall•staining, visible sheens and dry weather flow, prior to release
of the accumulated stormwater. Accumulated stormwater shall be released if
found to be uncontaminated by any material. Records documenting the
individual making the observation, the description of the accumulated
stormwater, and the date and time of the release shall be kept for a period of
five (5) years.
4. Spill Prevention and Response Plan. The Spill Prevention and Response Plan (SPRP)
shall incorporate an assessment of potential pollutant sources based on a materials
inventory of the facility. Facility personnel (or the team) responsible for implementing
the SPRP shall be identified in a written list incorporated into the SPRP and signed and
dated by each individual acknowledging their responsibilities for the plan. A responsible
person shall be an -site at all times during facility operations that have the potential to
contaminate stormwater runoff through spills or exposure of materials associated with
the facility operations. The SPRP must be site stormwater specific. Therefore, an oil
Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure plan (SPCC) may be a component of the
SPRP, but may not be sufficient to completely address the stormwater aspects of the
SPRP. The common elements of the SPCC with the SPRP may be incorporated by
reference into the SPRP.
Preventative Maintenance and Good Housekeeping Program. A preventative
maintenance and good housekeeping program shall be developed and implemented.
The program shall ensure equipment used during mining activity on a site must be
operated and maintained to prevent potential pollution of the surface water or
groundwaters of the state. Fuels, lubricants, coolants, hydraulic fluids, or any other
petroleum products shall not be discharged on the ground or into surface waters. Spent
lubricants and fuels shall be disposed of properly and in accordance with applicable
federal disposal regulations. Spilled fluids shall be cleaned up to the maximum extent
practicable and properly disposed of to prevent entry to surface waters or
groundwaters of the state. The program shall establish schedules of inspections,
maintenance, and housekeeping measures for vehicle maintenance and industrial
activity areas (including material storage and handling areas, disposal areas, process
areas, loading and unloading areas, and haul roads), where not already addressed under
another element of this Plan. Schedules for inspections, maintenance, and
housekeeping, and documentation that these program elements are being
implemented, shall be recorded and maintained in the SPPP.
6. Employee Training. Training programs shall be developed and training provided at a
minimum on an annual basis for facility personnel with responsibilities for: spill
response and cleanup, preventative maintenance activities, and for any of the facility's
operations that have the potential to contaminate stormwater runoff. Facility
personnel (or team) responsible for implementing the training shall be identified, and
BREC, P.A. Radford Quarries of Boone SWPPP I Bamboo Road Quarry

Permit No. NCG020000
their annual training shall be documented by the signature of each employee trained.
Additional required training items include: used oil management, spent solvent
management, disposal of spent abrasives, disposal of vessel wastewaters, fueling
procedures, sanding, painting and blasting procedures, and used battery management.
7. Responsible Party. The Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan shall identify a specific
position(s) responsible for the overall coordination, development, implementation, and
revision to the Plan. Responsibilities for all components of the Plan shall be
documented and position assignments provided.
8. Plan Amendment. The permittee shall amend the Plan whenever there is a change in
design, construction, operation, or maintenance that has a significant effect on the
potential for the discharge of pollutants to surface waters. All aspects of the
Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan shall be reviewed and updated on an annual
basis. The annual update shall include an updated list of significant spills or leaks of
pollutants for the previous three (3) years, or the notation that no spills have occurred.
The annual update shall include written re -certification that the stormwater outfalls
have been evaluated for the presence of non-stormwater discharges. Each annual
update shall include a documented reevaluation of the effectiveness of the BMPs listed
in the BMP Summary of the Stormwater Management Plan. The Director may notify the
permittee when the Plan does not meet one or more of the minimum requirements of
the permit. Within 30 days of such notice, the permittee shall submit a time schedule to
the Director for modifying the Plan to meet minimum requirements. The permittee
shall provide certification in writing (in accordance with Part VI, Standard Conditions,
Section B, Paragraph 5) to the Director that the changes have been made.
9. Plan Implementation. The permittee shall implement the Plan and all appropriate BMPs
to ensure that contaminants do not enter surface waters via stormwater that comes in
contact with any unstabilized overburden, raw materials, intermediate products,
finished products, byproducts or waste products located on the site covered by this
permit. Implementation of the Plan shall include documentation of all monitoring,
measurements, inspections, maintenance activities, and training provided to employees,
including the log of the sampling data and of actions taken to implement BMPs
associated with the industrial activities, including vehicle maintenance activities. Such
documentation shall be kept onsite for a period of five years and made available to the
Director or the Director's authorized representative immediately upon request.
SECTION B: STORMWATER DISCHARGES: ANALYTICAL MONITORING REQUIREMENTS
Stormwater discharges are defined as stormwater from mining activity areas, including (but
not limited to) areas of mine excavation, other land disturbance, stockpiles, process areas, and
vehicle maintenance. This section does not apply to wastewater discharges from mine
dewatering and process areas. Analytical monitoring for stormwater discharges shall be
BREC, P.A. Radford Quarries of Boone SWPPP I Bamboo Road Quarry 9

Permit No. NCG020000
performed for parameters as specified in Tables 1 through 3. All analytical monitoring shall be
performed during a representative storm event as defined below.
Monitoring Exemption
Analytical monitoring is not required for any basin or pond designed to contain the 25-year, 24-hour
storm (see Part VII, Definitions) without discharging, and that can regain capacity to hold such an event
within five (5) days' time through means other than discharge to surface waters. A basin or pond that
meets this provision is considered a non -discharging stormwater control.

1. Measurement Frequency: Twice per year during a representative storm event, as defined for this permit.
Failure to comply with semi-annual monitoring in accordance with permit terms with reasonable and
documented effort for any six-month period immediately triggers monthly monitoring for the remaining
permit term.
2. Grab samples shall be collected within the first 30 minutes of discharge. For sites where multiple outfalls
are separated by distances that preclude collection within 30 minutes of each discharge event is not
feasible, begin collection procedures within 30 minutes and continue until all outfalls with discharges are
sampled. Documentation explaining why it was not possible to take samples within the first 30 minutes
must be kept in the SPPP.
3. Sample Location: Samples shall be collected at each stormwater discharge outfall (SDO) unless
representative outfall status (ROS) has been granted and documented by the Division of Water Quality. A
copy of the letter granting ROS shall be kept on site.
4. For each sampled representative storm event the total precipitation must be recorded. An on -site rain
gauge or local rain gauge reading must be recorded.
S. Total flow shall be: (a) measured continuously, or (b) calculated based on the amount of area draining to
the outfall, the amount of impervious area, and the total amount of rainfall, or (c) estimated by the
measurement of flow at 20 minute intervals during the rainfall event. Total rainfall precipitation and
duration of the rainfall event refers to the representative storm event sampled.
All analytical monitoring shall be performed during a representative storm event at each stormwater
discharge outfall (SDO).

Permit No. NCG020000
A representative storm event for the purposes of this General Permit is a storm event that measures
greater than 0.1 inches of rainfall. The time between this storm event and the previous storm event
measuring greater than 0.1 inches must be at least 48 hours. One storm event may have a time period
with no precipitation. This time period may last up to 10 hours. For example, if it rains but stops before
producing any collectable discharge, a sample may be collected if the next rain producing a discharge
begins within 10 hours.
The permittee shall complete the analytical samplings in accordance with the schedule
specified in Table 2. A minimum of 60 days must separate each sample event. Failure to
comply with semi-annual monitoring in accordance with permit terms with reasonable and
documented effort for any six-month period immediately triggers monthly monitoring for the
remaining permit term.

1. Maintain semi-annual monitoring during permit renewal process (unless tiers prompt monthly). If at the
expiration of the General Permit, the permittee has submitted an application for renewal of coverage
before the submittal deadline, the permittee will be considered for renewed coverage. The applicant
must continue monitoring until the renewed Certificate of Coverage is issued.
2. If no discharge occurs during the sampling period, the permittee must record "No Flow" or "No
Discharge" within 30 days of the end of the six-month sampling period. Annual Summary Discharge
Monitoring Reports (DMRs) submitted to the Division by March 1 of each year should include this
information.
3. Monitoring periods remain constant throughout the five-year permit term (from January 1, 2010 to
December 31, 2014).
In all cases, the permittee shall report the analytical results from the first sample within the
monitoring period. The permittee shall compare those results to the benchmark values in
Table 3. Exceedences of benchmark values require the permittee to increase monitoring,
increase management actions, increase record keeping, and/or install stormwater Best
Management Practices (BMPs) in a tiered program. See below the descriptions of tiered
response actions.

Turbidity I N/A (See below)
The discharge shall not cause an instantaneous measurement of the turbidity of the
receiving water to exceed:
10 NTU freshwater streams, lakes, and reservoirs designated as trout waters
25 NTU all lakes and reservoirs, and all salt waters
50 NTU all other streams and surface waters
If the turbidity exceeds these levels as a result of background conditions, the discharge cannot
cause any increase in the turbidity of the receiving water. If the turbidity exceeds these levels
as a result of stormwater discharges, the permittee must immediately institute Tier 2 response
actions, including monthly monitoring of all stormwater discharge outfalls to the receiving
waters.
Tier One
If: The first valid sampling results are above a benchmark value, or outside of the benchmark
range, for any parameter at any outfall
Then: The permittee shall:
1. Conduct a stormwater management inspection of the facility within two weeks of
receiving sampling results.
2. Identify and evaluate possible causes of the benchmark value exceedence.
3. Identify potential and select the specific: source controls, operational controls, or
physical improvements to reduce concentrations of the parameters of concern, or to
bring concentrations within the benchmark range.
4. Implement the selected actions within two months of the inspection.
5. Record each instance of a Tier One response in the Stormwater Pollution Prevention
Plan. include the date and value of the benchmark exceedence, the inspection date, the
personnel conducting the inspection, the selected actions, and the date the selected
actions were.implemented.

Tier Two
If: During the term of this permit, the first valid sampling results from two (2) consecutive
monitoring periods are above the benchmark values, or outside of the benchmark range, for
any specific parameter at a specific discharge outfall;
Then: The permittee shall:
1. Repeat all the required actions outlined above in Tier One.
2. Immediately institute monthly monitoring for all parameters at every outfall where a
sampling result exceeded the benchmark value for two (2) consecutive samples.
Monthly (analytical and qualitative) monitoring shall continue until three (3)
consecutive samples are below the benchmark values or within the benchmark range.
3. If no discharge occurs during the sampling period, the permittee is required to record
"No Flow" or "No Discharge" for the sampling the period to comply with monthly
monitoring requirements and must submit reports in accordance with this permit.
4. Maintain a record of Tier Two responses in the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan.
Tier Three --:Notification to Regional Office
During the term of this permit, if the valid sampling results required for the permit monitoring
periods exceed the benchmark value, or are outside the benchmark range, for any specific
parameter at any specific outfall on four (4) occasions, the permittee shall notify the DWQ
Regional Office Supervisor in writing within 30 days of receipt of the fourth analytical
results. DWQ may but is not limited to:
• Require that the permittee revise, increase, or decrease the monitoring frequency for
the remainder of the permit;
• Rescind coverage under the General Permit, and require that the permittee to apply
for
an individual stormwater discharge permit;
• Require the permittee to install or modify structural stormwater controls; or
• Require the permittee to implement other stormwater control measure
In all cases, the permittee shall report the analytical results from the first sample within the
monitoring period. The permittee shall compare those results to the benchmark values in Table
5. Exceedences of benchmark values require the permittee to increase monitoring, increase
management actions, increase record keeping, and/or install stormwater Best Management
Practices (BMPs) in a tiered program. The permittee shall comply with the required tiered
response actions identified above.

Subject: Compliance Evaluation Inspection, Notice of Non Compliance, Radford Quarries of Boone, Inc
General Permit No.NCG020000, COC NCO20129, Watauga County
Dear Mr. Cecile:
On October 27, 2008, Sue White of this office conducted a compliance evaluation inspection at
the Radford Quarries site located on Bamboo Road in Watauga County. You were present for this
meeting. This type of inspection consists of two basic parts: an in office file review and an on -site
inspection of the treatment facility. The following are the findings from the subject inspection:
I. Permit
Permit was readily available for inspection when requested. This permit was issued on January 19, 2005
and will expire on December 31, 2009. Permit renewal must be applied for within 180 days of expiration.
II. Records/Reports
The Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) was reviewed during the inspection. This plan did not
include a BMP summary and was also lacking any information on employee training or the Stormwater
Facility Inspection Program. These items are necessary information required by NPDES Permit No.
NCG020129. Additionally, this plan has not been updated annually per your permit.
III. Facility Site Review
All stormwater conveyances and outfalls noted in the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan were
inspected and found to be satisfactory. Stormwater discharge offsite was not observed. All barrels and
containers must be protected with secondary containment.
IV. Effluent & Receiving Waters
South Fork New River in the New River Basin, Class C+
V. Self -Monitoring Program
To date qualitative and analytical monitoring has not been done per permit requirements. It is understood
that Radford Quarries has recently hired a company to do the monitoring and that this will begin
immediately.
If you should have any questions or concerns regarding this report, please contact this Office at (336) 771-
5000.

has not caused a water quality standard violation of turbidity. If SDO turbidity level exceeds the.
benchmark, and the permittee cannot demonstrate the discharge has not caused a violation of the
instream water quality standard, the Division may require the permittee to monitor turbidity up -
and downstream as part of a Tier 2 or 3 response.
S. For each sampled measureable storm event the total precipitation must be recorded. An on -site rain
gauge or local rain gauge reading must be recorded.
The permittee shall complete the analytical samplings in accordance with the schedule specified in
Table 2. Sampling is not required outside of the facility's normal operating hours (unless the mine
is inactive). A minimum of 60 days must separate Period 1 and Period 2 sample dates, unless
monthly monitoring has been instituted under other requirements of this permit.

1. Maintain semi-annual monitoring during permit renewal process (unless other provisions of this permit
require monthly sampling). If at the expiration of the General Permit, the permittee has submitted an
application for renewal of coverage before the submittal deadline, the permittee will be considered for
renewed coverage. The applicant must continue monitoring until the renewed Certificate of Coverage
(COC) is issued.
2. If no discharge occurs during the sampling period, the permittee must record "No Flow' or "No
Discharge" within 30 days of the end of the sampling period in the facility's monitoring records. "No
Flow" or "No Discharge" shall be reported on the Annual Summary Discharge Monitoring Report (DMR)
due by March 1.
3. Monitoring periods remain constant throughout the five-year term of the General Permit. For permittees
continuing with renewed coverage under this General Permit, Year 1 begins in Period 2 on October 1,
2015, and for all permittees Year 5 - Period 2 ends on September 30, 2020.
In all cases, the permittee shall report the analytical results from each sample within the
monitoring period (as specified in Part V, Standard Conditions, Section E) once a year (by March 1).
The permittee shall compare those results to the benchmark values in Table 3. Exceedances of
benchmark values require the permittee to increase monitoring, increase management actions,
increase record keeping, and/or install stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs) in a tiered
program. Sample results that exceed benchmark values must be submitted no later than 30
days from the date the facility receives the sampling results (see Part V, Section E). Note that
Tier 1 and Tier 2 responses for turbidity benchmark exceedances are specifically outlined below Table
3 and differ from the Tier structure on page 4 of Part IV.

Standards:
10 NTU (freshwater streams, lakes, and reservoirs designated as trout waters);
25 NTU (all lakes and reservoirs, and all salt waters);
50 NTU (all other streams and surface waters).
If turbidity of the receiving stream exceeds these levels due to natural background conditions, the
existing turbidity level shall not be increased as a result of the stormwater discharges.
The benchmark values in Table 3 are not enforceable permit limits. An exceedance of a
stormwater benchmark value is not a permit violation; however, failure to respond to the
exceedances as outlined in this permit is a violation of permit conditions. The benchmarks are
intended to reduce polluted discharges by triggering the permittee's required response actions
under Tiers One, Two, and Three. See below the descriptions of Tiers One, Two, and Three
response actions (Standard "Tier Three" also applies to turbidity).
Tier One Response for Turbidity
If the first valid sampling result required for the monitoring period is above the turbidity benchmark at any outfall,
and the permittee cannot demonstrate the discharge has not caused or contributed to a Water Quality Standard
violation with up- and downstream sampling results, then the permittee shall:
1. Identify and evaluate possible causes of the benchmark exceedance within one week of receiving sample results.
2. Identify and implement feasible actions to improve turbidity levels in the discharge within one month.
3. Record each instance of a Tier One response for turbidity in the SPPP.
Tier Two Response for Turbiditk
If the first valid sampling results required from two consecutive monitoring periods (omitting periods with no
discharge) are above the turbidity benchmark at any specific outfall, and the permittee cannot demonstrate the
discharge has not caused or contributed to a Water Quality Standard violation with up- and downstream sampling
results, then the permittee shall:
1. Repeat all the required actions outlined above in Tier One.
2. Contact the DEMLR Regional Office Engineer as provided below in Tier Three. The Regional Office Engineer may
direct the response actions on the part of the permittee as provided in Tier Three, including requiring the
permittee to sample up- and downstream of the SDO or group of SDOs. The Regional Office may work with the
permittee to designate appropriate instream sampling points and document that determination. The permittee
will be considered to be obligated under the Tier Three provisions.
3. Record each instance of a Tier Two response for turbidity in the SPPP.
Part IV Page 3 of 12 Pages

Permit No. NCG020000
Tier One
If. The first valid sampling results required for the monitoring period are above a benchmark value for any
parameter except turbidity at any outfall,
Then: The permittee shall:
1. Conduct a stormwater management inspection within two weeks of receiving the sample results.
2. Identify and evaluate possible causes of the benchmark value exceedance.
3. Identify potential, and select the specific feasible: source controls, operational controls, or physical
improvements to reduce concentrations of the parameters of concern.
4. Implement the selected feasible actions within two months of the inspection.
5. Record each instance of a Tier One response in the SPPP. Include the date and value of the benchmark
exceedance, the inspection date, the personnel conducting the inspection, the selected feasible actions, and
the date the selected feasible actions were implemented.
6. Note: Exceedances for a different parameter separately trigger the tiered response requirements.
Tier Two
If: The first valid sampling results from two consecutive monitoring periods (omitting periods with no discharge) are
above the benchmark values for any specific parameter except turbidity at a specific discharge outfall,
Then: The permittee shall:
1. Repeat all the required actions outlined above in' Tier One.
2. Immediately institute monthly monitoring and monthly reporting for all parameters (including turbidity) at
every outfall where a sampling result exceeded the benchmark value for two consecutive samples. Monthly
(analytical and qualitative) monitoring shall continue until three consecutive sample results are below the
benchmark values.
3. If no discharge occurs during the sampling period, the permittee is required to submit a monthly monitoring
report indicating "No Flow" to comply with reporting requirements.
4. Alternatively, in lieu of steps 2 and 3, the permittee may exercise the option of contacting the DEMLR Regional
Office Engineer as provided below in Tier Three. The Regional Office Engineer may direct the response
actions on the part of the permittee as provided in Tier Three. The permittee will be considered to be
obligated under the Tier Three provisions.
S. Maintain a record of the Tier Two response in the SPPP.
6. Continue Tier Two response obligations throughout the permit COC renewal process.
Tier Three- ... ..
If the valid sampling results required for the permit monitoring periods exceed the benchmark value for any
specific parameter (including turbidity) at any specific outfall on four occasions, the permittee shall notify the
DEMLR Regional Office Engineer in writing within 30 days of receipt of the fourth analytical results. DEMLR
may but is not limited to:
• require the permittee to revise, increase, or decrease the monitoring and reporting frequency for some or
all parameters, including requiring sampling of additional or substitute parameters;
• rescind coverage under the General Permit, and require that the permittee apply for an individual
stormwater discharge permit;
• require the permittee to install structural stormwater controls;
• require the permittee to implement other stormwater control measures;
• require the permittee to perform upstream and downstream monitoring to characterize impacts on
receiving waters; or
• require the permittee to continue Tier Three obligations through the permit COC renewal process.

Adverse Weather in Definitions.) Similarly, sampling is not required outside of the facility's normal
operating hours (unless the mine is inactive).
Reduced monitoring for inactive mines: Dormant Site Status is available for inactive mine sites that
have suspended all industrial activities, and if the permittee has certified in writing to DEMLR's
Stormwater Permitting Program that all portions of the site with clearing, grading, and/or
excavation activities have been stabilized with vegetation. Upon a favorable site inspection by the
Regional Office, the Regional Office Engineer may exempt the permittee from stormwater analytical
monitoring, stormwater qualitative monitoring, and wastewater monitoring. The DEMLR letter
granting dormant status must be kept with the SPPP, and available for inspection within a
reasonable time of the Division's request.
In the event that the Division releases the permittee from continued monthly monitoring and reporting
under Tier Two or Tier Three, DEMLR's release letter may remain in effect through subsequent
reissuance of this permit, unless the release letter provides for other conditions or duration.
The permittee must report all results from all valid discharge samples taken during each
monitoring period. However, for purposes of benchmark comparison and Tiered response actions, the
permittee shall use the analytical results from the first sample with valid results within the
monitoring period.

Permit No. NCG020000
1. Measurement Frequency: Twice per year (unless other provisions of this permit require monthly
sampling) during a measureable storm event (See Table 2), until either another permit is issued
for this facility or until this permit is revoked or rescinded. If the facility is monitoring monthly
because of Tier Two or Three response actions under the previous General Permit, the facility shall
continue a monthly monitoring and reporting schedule in Tier Two or Tier Three status until relieved
by the provisions of this permit or the Division.
2. Grab samples shall be collected within the first 30 minutes of discharge. Where physical separation
between outfalls prevents collecting all samples within the first 30 minutes, the permittee shall begin
sampling within the first 30 minutes, and shall continue until completed.
3. Sample Location: Samples shall be collected at each vehicle maintenance area stormwater
discharge outfall (SDO), unless representative outfall status (ROS) has been granted. A copy of the
Division's letter granting ROS shall be kept on site with the SPPP.
4. For each sampled measureable storm event, an on -site or local rain gauge reading must be
recorded. Where isolated sites are unmanned for extended periods of time, a local rain gauge
reading may be substituted for an on -site reading.
The permittee shall complete the analytical samplings in accordance with the schedule specified in
Table 2. A minimum of 60 days must separate Period 1 and Period 2 sample dates unless monthly
monitoring has been instituted under other requirements of this permit.
In all cases, the permittee shall report the analytical results from each sample within the
monitoring period (as required in Part V, Standard Conditions, Section E.) once a year (by March 1).
The permittee shall compare those results to the benchmark values in Table S. Exceedances of
benchmark values require the permittee to increase monitoring, increase management actions,
increase record keeping, and/or install stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs) in a tiered
program. See the descriptions of the Tiers One, Two, and Three required response actions in
Section A. Sample results that exceed benchmark values must be submitted no later than 30 days

The benchmark values in Table 5 are not enforceable permit limits. An exceedance of a stormwater
benchmark value is not a permit violation; however, failure to respond to the exceedances as outlined
in this permit is a violation of permit conditions. The benchmarks are intended to reduce polluted
discharges by triggering the permittee's required response actions under Tiers One, Two, and Three.

SECTION C: STORMWATER DISCHARGES — QUALITATIVE MONITORING
REQUIREMENTS
The purpose of qualitative monitoring is to implement a quick and inexpensive way to evaluate the
effectiveness of the permittee's SPPP and to identify the potential for new sources of stormwater
pollution. Qualitative monitoring of stormwater outfalls must be performed during a measurable
storm event.
Qualitative monitoring requires a visual inspection of each stormwater outfall. Qualitative
monitoring shall be performed as specified in Table 6, whether semi-annual or more frequently as
may be required per the Qualitative Monitoring Response requirements below. Inability to
monitor because of adverse weather or lack of discharge during the monitoring period must be
documented in the SPPP and recorded on the Qualitative Monitoring Report (see Adverse Weather
in Definitions). Similarly, monitoring is not required outside of the facility's normal operating
hours (unless the mine is inactive). Only SDOs discharging stormwater associated with industrial
activity must be monitored (See Definitions).
In the event an atypical condition is noted at a stormwater discharge outfall, the permittee shall
document the suspected cause of the condition and any actions taken in response to the discovery.
This documentation will be maintained with the SPPP.

(SDO) regardless of representative outfall status (ROS), unless ROS isgranted specifically for
qualitative monitoring. A copy of any letter granting ROS shall be kept on site. DEMLR's letter
granting ROS remains in effect through the subsequent reissuance of this permit and as long as the
pertinent site conditions and operations remain unchanged, unless the ROS letter provides for other
conditions or duration.
Part IV Page 7 of 12 Pages

Permit No. NCG020000
Representative outfall status (ROS) specifically for -qualitative monitoring may be granted for some
stormwater outfalls and must be documented by DEMLR. Qualitative monitoring records shall not
be turned into the Division except when requested. Qualitative monitoring records shall be
maintained on site as part of the SPPP.
A minimum of 60 days must separate monitoring dates, unless additional sampling has been
instituted as part of other analytical monitoring requirements in this permit.
If the permittee's qualitative monitoring indicates that existing stormwater BMPs are ineffective, or
that significant stormwater contamination is present, the permittee shall investigate potential
causes, evaluate the feasibility of corrective actions, and implement those feasible corrective
actions within 60 days, per the Qualitative Monitoring Response, below. A written record of the
permittee's investigation, evaluation, and response actions shall be kept in the SPPP.
Qualitative Monitoring Response -
Qualitative monitoring is for the purposes of evaluating SPPP effectiveness, identifying the potential
for new sources of stormwater pollution, and prompting the permittee's response to pollution. If
the permittee repeatedly fails to respond effectively to correct problems identified by qualitative
monitoring, or if the discharge causes or contributes to a water quality standard violation, DEMLR
may but is not limited to:
• require that the permittee revise, increase, or decrease monitoring frequency for some or
all parameters (analytical or qualitative);
• require the permittee to install structural stormwater controls;
+ require the permittee to implement other stormwater control measures; or
• require the permittee to perform upstream and downstream monitoring to characterize
impacts on receiving waters.

Permit No. NCG020000
SECTION D: WASTEWATER DISCHARGES — ANALYTICAL MONITORING
REQUIREMENTS AND EFFLUENT LIMITATIONS
This General Permit authorizes the discharge of process wastewater associated with two distinct
activities: 1) mine dewatering and 2) process wastewater associated with mining operations as
described below in 1.-4. of this Section. The authorization to discharge wastewater is specifically
identified on each permittee's COC. Process wastewater discharges generated by any other
activity are not authorized under this permit, except allowable non-stormwater discharges
permitted by 1 SA NCAC211.0106(1). Mine dewatering or other wastewaters commingled with
stormwater shall be considered wastewater.
1. MINE DEWATERING WASTEWATER
During the period beginning on the effective date of the permit and lasting until expiration, the
permittee is authorized to discharge mine dewatering wastewater controlled in accordance with
the conditions of this permit. Mine dewatering requirements apply to all mines that dewater from
pits including quarries, clay brick, sand and gravel, borrow pits, and refractory mining, as well as
mines with similar discharges. See Part VI (Definitions) and federal regulations in 40 CFR §436 for
definitions of the terms "mine dewatering" and "mine" specific to industry sub -sectors. For
Construction Sand and Gravel or Industrial Sand mines, "mine dewatering" wastewater includes
wet pit overflows caused solely by direct rainfall and groundwater seepage.
Permittees conducting mine dewatering activities that have the potential to drain wetlands
or other surface waters must have developed and implemented a Pumping Operation
and Monitoring (POM) Plan approved by the Division. Approval may be coordinated
with other Divisions in NC DEQ, such as the Division of Water Resources. POM Plans
shall include, but are not limited to:
• Groundwater monitoring strategies to demonstrate the effect of pumping.
• Detailed plans to maintain the surrounding hydrology that protects the affected
streams and wetlands and the respective monitoring to demonstrate compliance.
• The pumping regime deemed necessary to protect affected streams and wetlands.
Alternative site specific pumping and monitoring regimes may be approved by the
Division on a case -by -case basis. At the Division's discretion, approval of the POM Plan
may be required prior to coverage under this General Permit.
Mine dewatering discharges to land surfaces (without the potential to discharge directly to
surface waters), where no chemicals are used in the mining process, may be permitted by regulation
under 15A NCAC 02T.01 13(a)(1 6) and therefore not subject to the provisions of this permit.
During the period beginning on the effective date of the permit and lasting until expiration, the
permittee is authorized to discharge treated process wastewater from mining operations. Process
wastewater from mining operations includes, but may not be limited to, the water involved in: the
slurry transport, washing, or sawing of mined material; air emissions control or processing exclusive
of mining of sand, gravel, and stone washing operations; dimension stone cutting operations; and air
scrubbing and dust control operations. See Part VI (Definitions) and federal regulations for
definitions of the terms "process wastewater' in 40 CFR §122.2 and "process generated wastewater"
specific to mining industry sub -sectors in 40 CFR §436. Treatment may involve conveyance through
erosion and sedimentation control (E&SC) structures and/or other engineered treatment systems.
Part IV Page 9 of 12 Pages

Permit No. NCG020000
3. COMMINGLED STORMWATER AND WASTEWATER DISCHARGES
If mine dewatering or authorized process wastewaters commingle with stormwater prior to
discharge, sampling the combined discharge under this Section D will meet the monitoring
requirements of this permit. Sampling shall be performed during the discharge; these events may or
may not be associated with rainfall.
4. RECYCLE SYSTEMS
Authorized process wastewater discharges (overflowslfrom a recycle system to surface waters are
subject to the provisions, monitoring requirements, and effluent limitations in this General Permit.
MONITORING FOR MINE DEWATERING AND AUTHORIZED PROCESS WASTEWATER
DISCHARGES
Analytical monitoring of mine dewatering and authorized process wastewater shall be performed
as specified below in Table 7. For each parameter, an effluent limitation is contained in Table 8.
An exceedance of any of these limitations results in a violation of the permit conditions and may be
subject to enforcement action as specified in Part V, Section A.2 of this permit. In all cases, the
permittee shall report the analytical results from each sample within the monitoring period (as
specified in Part V, Standard Conditions, Section E) once a year (by March 1). Sample results that
exceed an effluent limitation must be submitted to the Regional Office no later than 30 days from
the date the facility receives the sampling results (see Part V, Section E).

1. The monitoring frequency is quarterly for the Hirst year (see Table 9), and then semi-annually. If a
sample concentration exceeds any effluent limit in Table B. monitoring frequency (all parameters)
shall return to (or remain) quarterly, until four (4) consecutive quarterly samples all meet or are below
the limit for all parametersallowing the permittee to resume/reduce to semi-annual monitoring.
2. Except for mine dewatering of clay pits, a grab sample is not required for these parameters from a
basin/pond designed to contain or treat mine dewatering wastewater that only discharges in
response to rainfall in excess of the 10-yr, 24-hr storm.
3. Sample Location: E - Effluent, U - Upstream, D - Downstream. Turbidity must be monitored at the
effluent (E). If effluent levels exceed the Water Quality Standard of the receiving water, the permittee
must begin sampling turbidity directly upstream (U) and downstream (D) of the effluent outfall or group
of outfalls, in addition to the effluent, upon the next monitoring period. The permittee may contact the
Part IV Page 10 of 12 Pages

Permit No. NCG020000
DEMLR Regional Office for assistance in determining the best instream sample points: The RO may also
advise the permittee to relocate self -established instream sample points if appropriate.
4. All facilities that are mining Industrial Sand are required to monitor TSS and are subject to the TSS
limits in Table 8. All other types of mines covered by this permit are also required to monitor TSS, but
are not necessarily subject to the TSS limits in Table 8, unless discharge is to HQW, ORW, or PNA waters.
5. Only facilities discharging to waters classified as HQW, ORW, SA, SB, Tr, or PNA are required to monitor
for settleable solids.
6. Only facilities discharging to waters classified as SA waters are required to monitor for fecal coliform.
7. Daily flow rate shall be recorded by a continuous flow measurement instrument. Alternatively, pump
curves and pump logs maybe used as a means to calculate the daily flow rate.

Maximum and Monthly Average value. More frequent samples may be conducted to calculate averages
but must all be reported to NC DEQ.
2. Limits applicable to Industrial Sand mines. More stringent water quality -based TSS limits apply to all
mines that discharge to High Quality Waters (HQW), including HQWs and ORWs that are trout waters
(Tr), and Primary Nursery Area (PNA) waters (See 3.).
3. Monthly Average and Daily Maximum TSS Limits apply to all discharges (regardless of mine type) to
waters designated as HQW, ORW, HQW/ORW Tr, and PNA.
4. Designated swamp waters can have a pH as low as 4.3 because of natural conditions. In such cases,
Federal Effluent Guidelines (40 CFR §436) allow the lower range of the pH limitations to be adjusted
downward to no lower than 5.0. The permittee must sample instream to demonstrate a lower limit is
appropriate.
5. No limit in the effluent discharge applies, but turbidity in the receiving waters shall not exceed levels
described below as a result of wastewater discharges.
6. The total daily flow rate of wastewater for all discharges combined (that discharge to the same receiving
waters) shall not exceed 50 percent of the total in -stream flow rate of the receiving waters under 7Q10
conditions in HQW/ORW waters, including HQW/ORW trout and PNA waters.
The discharge shall not cause the turbidity of the receiving water to exceed Water Quality
Standards:
10 NTU (freshwater streams, lakes, and reservoirs designated as trout waters);
25 NTU (all lakes and reservoirs, and all salt waters);
50 NTU (all other streams and surface waters).

Permit No. NCG020000
This General Permit requires the measurement of turbidity in the perry ttee's_dis charge but does
not impose a turbidity effluent limit. If turbidity of the receiving stream exceeds these levels due to
natural background conditions, the existing turbidity level shall not be increased. If the turbidity
in -stream exceeds these levels as a result of wastewater discharges, this water quality standard
violation subjects the permittee to possible compliance and enforcement action.
The permittee shall complete the analytical samplings of wastewater discharges in accordance with
the schedule specified in Table 9.

updated thereafter on an annual basis. Secondary containment, as specified in Part 111 of this General
Permit shall be accomplished prior to the beginning of discharges from the operation of the
industrial activity.
2. Duty to Comply
The permittee must comply with all conditions of this General Permit. Any permit noncompliance
constitutes a violation of the Clean Water Act (CWA) and is grounds for enforcement action; for
permit termination, revocation and reissuance, or modification; or denial of a permit upon renewal
application [40 CFR 122.41].
a. The permittee shall comply with standards or prohibitions established under section 307(a) of
the CWA for toxic pollutants within the time provided in the regulations that establish these
standards or prohibitions, even if the General Permit has not yet been modified to incorporate
the requirement [40 CFR 122,41].
b. The CWA provides that any person who violates section[s] 301, 302, 306, 307, 308, 318 or 405 of
the Act, or any permit condition or limitation implementing any such sections in a permit issued
under section 402, or any requirement imposed in a pretreatment program approved under
sections 402(a)(3) or 402(b)(8) of the Act, is subject to a civil penalty not to exceed $37,500 per

PART 1— INTRODUCTION
SECTION A: GENERAL PERMIT COVERAGE
All persons desiring to have facilities covered by this General Permit must register with the Division
of Energy, Mineral, and Land Resources (DEMLR) by the filing of a Notice of Intent (N01) and
applicable fees. The NOI shall be submitted and a certificate of coverage issued prior to any
discharge of stormwater associated with industrial activity, mine dewatering wastewater, or
authorized process wastewater that has a point source discharge to the surface waters of the state.
This General Permit is applicable to mining and quarrying of nonmetallic minerals (except fuels)
including borrow pits (that would not be covered under the statewide DOT stormwater permit) and
active or inactive mines that discharge stormwater contaminated with, or that has come in contact
with, any overburden, raw material, intermediate products, finished products, byproducts or waste
products located at the site of such operations and stormwater runoff from vehicle maintenance
areas. This General Permit also covers discharge of wastewater from processing mined materials
and mine dewatering wastewater from the groundwater and/or stormwater that accumulates in
the mine pit.
Any owner or operator not wishing to be covered or limited by this General Permit may make
application for an individual NPDES permit in accordance with NPDES procedures in 15A NCAC 21l
.0100, stating the reasons supporting the request. Any application for an individual permit should
be made at least 180 days prior to commencement of discharge.
This General Permit does not cover activities or discharges covered by an individual NPDES permit
until the individual permit has expired or has been revoked. Any person conducting an activity
covered by an individual permit but which could be covered by this General Permit may request
that the individual permit be revoked and coverage under this General Permit be provided.
Any facility may apply for new or continued coverage under this permit until a Total Maximum
Daily Load (TMDL) for pollutants for stormwater or wastewater discharges is established. A TMDL
sets a pollutant -loading limit that affects a watershed, or portion of a watershed, draining to an
impaired water. For discharges to watersheds affected by a TMDL, coverage under this
permit may depend on the facility demonstrating it does not have reasonable potential to
violate applicable water quality standards for those pollutants as a result of discharges. If
the Division determines that discharges have reasonable potential to cause water quality standard
violations, the facility shall apply for an individual permit 180 days prior to the expiration date of
this General Permit. Once that individual permit is effective, the facility will no longer have
coverage under this General Permit. [Note the permittee must identify impaired waters (scheduled
for TMDL development) and waters already subject to a TMDL in the Location Map or Site Map, as
outlined in the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP), Part III. A list of approved TMDLs for
the state of North Carolina can be found at http://poi-tal.ncdenr.org/web/wq/ps/rntu/tmdt.]

SECTION B: PERMITTED ACTIVITIES
Until this permit expires or is modified or revoked, the permittee is authorized to discharge
stormwater, mine dewatering, and process wastewater to the surface waters of North Carolina or a
separate storm sewer system which has been treated and managed in accordance with the terms
and conditions of this General Permit and the requirements of the permittee's Certificate of
Coverage (COC).
The permittee's COC is hereby incorporated by reference into this General Permit. Any
violation of the COC is a violation of this General Permit and subject to enforcement action as
provided in the General Permit.
Any other point source discharge to surface waters of the state is prohibited unless it is an
allowable non-stormwater discharge or is covered by another permit, authorization, or approval.
The discharges allowed by this General Permit shall not cause or contribute to violations of
Water Quality Standards. Discharges allowed by this permit must meet applicable wetland
standards as outlined in 15A NCAC 2B .0230 and .0231 and water quality certification requirements
as outlined in 15A NCAC 2H .0500.
If mining activities will expand or change such that the types of discharges are affected, the
permittee must first contact DEMLR's Stormwater Permitting Program to determine if
modifications to the COC are necessary. The permittee is also responsible for contacting DEMLR if
modifications to the Mining Permit are necessary, as compliance with the Mining Permit is a
stipulation of this permit.
This permit does not relieve the permittee's responsibility for compliance with any other applicable
federal, state or local law, rule, standard, ordinance, order or decree.

Permit No. NCG020000
PART 11—OPERATION OF A TREATMENT FACILITY
Mining operations involving construction and operation of existing, new, and expanding
wastewater treatment facilities for mine dewatering or process wastewater (such as saw water,
wash water, etc.) shall be subject to the following operational requirements.
1. Operation and maintenance of treatment facilities must be in accordance with the
requirements in this General Permit. For the purposes of this permit no documentation
other than a signed Certificate of Coverage (COC) is required to operate a treatment facility.
2. Diversion or bypass of untreated wastewater from a treatment facility is prohibited except
under provisions of this permit in Part V, Section C.4 and Part V, Section E.8.
3. In the event that a facility fails to perform satisfactorily, including the creation of nuisance
conditions, the permittee shall take immediate corrective -action, including those actions
that may be required by the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (NC DEQ
formerly NC DENR), such as the construction of additional or replacement treatment or
disposal facilities.
4. The issuance of this permit shall not relieve the permittee of the responsibility for damages
to surface waters of the State resulting from the operation of a treatment facility.
5. Any discharge from a treatment system to groundwater must protect the groundwater
standards specified in 15A NCAC 2L, Groundwater Classification and Standards.
6. Any groundwater quality monitoring, as deemed reasonably necessary by NC DEQ shall be
provided.
7. Flocculants evaluated by NC DEQ may be used if administered in accordance with maximum
application doses and any other current requirements. No other chemical flocculants shall
be used in the treatment facility without written authorization from the Division. Evaluated
Polyacrylamide (PAMS) information can be found on the Stormwater Permitting Program
website.
8. All discharges of mine dewatering wastewater and process wastewater will be monitored in
accordance with Part IV, Section D of this permit.

Permit No. NCG020000
PART III — STORMWATER POLLUTION AND PREVENTION PLAN (SPPP)
The permittee shall develop and implement a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP). The
SPPP shall be maintained on site unless exempted from this requirement by the Division. The SPPP
shall be considered public information in accordance with Part V, Standard Conditions for NPDES
General Permits, Section E, Paragraph 3 of this General Permit. The SPPP shall include, at a
minimum, the following items:
1. Site Overview. The Site Overview shall provide a description of the physical facility and the
potential pollutant sources that may be expected to contribute to contamination of
stormwater discharges. The Site Overview shall contain the following:
(a) A general location map (USGS quadrangle map or appropriately drafted equivalent
map), showing the facility's location in relation to transportation routes and surface
waters; the name of the receiving water(s) to which the stormwater outfall(s)
discharges, or if the discharge is to a municipal separate storm sewer system, the
name of the municipality and the ultimate receiving waters; and latitude and
longitude of the point(s) of stormwater discharge associated with industrial activity.
The general location map (or alternatively the site map) shall identify whether each
receiving water is impaired (on the state's 303(d) list of impaired waters) or if the
site is located in a watershed for which a TMDL has been established, and what
the parameter(s) of concern are.
(b) A narrative description of storage practices, loading and unloading activities,
outdoor process areas, dust or particulate generating or control processes, and
waste disposal practices. A narrative description of the potential.pollutants that
could be expected to be present in the stormwater discharge from each outfall.
(c) A site map drawn at a scale sufficient to clearly depict: the site property boundary;
the stormwater discharge outfalls and wastewater discharge outfalls; all on -site and
adjacent surface waters and wetlands; industrial activity areas (including storage of
materials, disposal areas, process areas, loading and unloading areas, and haul
roads); site topography; all drainage features and structures; drainage area
boundaries and total contributing area for each outfall; direction of flow in each
drainage area; industrial activities occurring in each drainage area; buildings;
stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs) with design capacities; and
permanent impervious surfaces, such as roads or process areas that are unlikely to
change frequently. The site map shall include a graphic scale indication and north
arrow. In addition, the following industrial activity areas must also be identified on
the site map: fueling, vehicle maintenance and repair, washing of materials or
equipment.
(d) A list of significant spills or leaks of pollutants that have occurred during the
previous three (3) years and any corrective actions taken to mitigate spill impacts.
(e) Certification that the stormwater outfalls have been evaluated for the presence of
non-stormwater discharges. The permittee shall re -certify annually that the
stormwater outfalls have been evaluated for the presence of non-stormwater
discharges. If non-stormwater discharges are present, the permittee shall identify the
source and record whether the discharge is otherwise permitted (by rule or a different
permit). The permittee shall evaluate the environmental significance of the non-
stormwater discharges and include a summary written record with the certification.
Part III Page 1 of 5

Permit No. NCG020000
The certification statement and summary written record shall be retained with the
SPPP, and shall be dated and signed in accordance with the requirements found in
Part V, Standard Conditions for NPDES General Permits, Section B, Paragraph 5.
Erosion and Sedimentation Control. The permittee shall implement the management
practices and the erosion and sedimentation control measures that are included in the
mining permit or erosion and sedimentation control permit issued by the Division of
Energy, Mineral, and Land Resources (DEMLR). Compliance with the DEMLR issued
Mining Permit is considered a requirement of this General Permit. Any deviation from
the Mining Permit and/or Erosion and Sedimentation Control Permit, or amendments to the
issued permit, that impacts water quality shall constitute a violation of the terms and
conditions of this General Permit. Ali erosion and sediment controls shall be inspected, and
a respective written record of repairs and maintenance shall be available to DEMLR
inspectors. A signed copy of the issued Mining Permit, including the approved erosion
and sedimentation control measures and the reclamation plan, shall be maintained
on the site at all times. Once an area is released by DEMLR in accordance with NC G.S.
Chapter 74, Article 7, it shall no longer be subject to this General Permit.
Stormwater Management Strategy. The Stormwater Management Strategy shall contain a
narrative description of the materials management practices employed which control or
minimize the exposure of significant materials to stormwater and the transport of
significant materials by stormwater, including structural and nonstructural measures. The
Stormwater Management Strategy, at a minimum, shall incorporate the following:
(a) Management of Stormwater Runoff and Runon. The permittee shall maintain
stormwater BMPs for mine excavation and disturbance areas, process areas, and
any other areas associated with mining or vehicle maintenance activities. In
addition, controls should be used to limit or isolate selected land disturbance and
process areas and limit,the amount of off -site stormwater runon to those areas.
Appropriate Best Management Practices (BMPs) should be used to divert, infiltrate,
reuse or otherwise manage stormwater runoff and runon in a manner that reduces
pollutants in stormwater discharges leaving the site. Appropriate BMPs may
include but are not limited to: vegetative swales, berms, use of reclaimed mine
areas, and reuse of collected stormwater (such as for an industrial process or as an
irrigation source).
(b) BMP Controls Inspection and Maintenance. BMPs shall be inspected by or under
the direction of the permittee at least once every seven calendar days, unless the
site is inactive. All inspections and BMP repairs shall be documented by written
record.
Reduced BMP Inspections for inactive mines. Dormant Site Status is available for
inactive mines that have suspended all industrial activities, and if the permittee
has certified to DEMLR's Stormwater Permitting Program that all portions of the site
where clearing, grading, and/or excavation activities have occurred have been
stabilized with vegetation. Under dormant status the permittee may conduct BMP
inspections once a month. The permittee shall send written certification to the
DEMLR Regional Office that the site is inactive, and the Regional Office may grant
reduced BMP inspection frequency on the basis of the permittee's certification. The
permitted site may be subject to an inspection for verification. The DEMLR Regional
Office will provide confirmation of dormant status and expected BMP inspection
frequency in writing to the permittee.
Part 111 Page 2 of 5

Permit No. NCG020000
In addition, also under dormant status but only upon a favorable site
inspection by the Regional Office, the Regional Office Engineer may exempt the
permittee from weekly and monthly BMP inspections in writing if stormwater
structural BMPs have been removed and the Regional Office determines that
structural BMPs are not necessary because of sufficient site stabilization. However,
the permittee must still perform an annual inspection as part of the SPPP
Annual Update outlined in 8. of this section. In either case, the permittee shall
notify the Regional Office prior to resuming industrial activities at an inactive mine.
A rain gauge and monitoring records are to be kept on site. BMPs shall be operated
and maintained. BMPs must be cleaned out when sediment storage capacity is at
50 percent of the design sediment volume. If visible sedimentation is leaving the
property, corrective action shall be taken to reduce the discharge of sediments.
Visible sedimentation shall be recorded with a brief explanation of measures taken
to prevent future releases, as well as any measures taken to remove the sediment
that has left the site. Visible sedimentation records shall be kept onsite. All other
stormwater specific controls (e.g. oil/water separators) shall be inspected and
qualitatively monitored (as per Part IV. C) on a semi-annual schedule. A log of all
sampling data, including activities taken to implement BMPs associated with vehicle
maintenance activities, shall be maintained and incorporated into the SPPP and kept
onsite and available for inspection purposes. These items shall be available for the
duration of the permit term and made available to the Director upon request. These
data shall be sent to the Regional Office upon request.
(c) Secondary Containment Requirements and Records. Secondary containment is
required for: bulk storage of liquid materials including petroleum products; storage
in any amount of Section 313 of Title III of the Superfund Amendments and
Reauthorization Act (SARA) water rp iority chemicals: and storage in any amount of
hazardous substancesin order to prevent leaks and spills from contaminating
stormwater runoff. A table or summary of all such tanks and stored materials and
their associated secondary containment areas shall be maintained. If the secondary
containment devices are connected to stormwater conveyance systems, the
connection shall be controlled by manually activated valves or other similar devices,
which shall be secured closed with a locking mechanism. Any stormwater that
accumulates in the containment area shall be at a minimum visually observed for
color, foam, outfall staining, visible sheens, and dry weather flow, prior to release of
the accumulated stormwater. Accumulated stormwater shall be released if found to
be uncontaminated by any material. Records documenting the individual making
the observation, the description of the accumulated stormwater, and the date and
time of the release shall be kept for a period of five (5) years. For the purposes of
effective stormwater pollution prevention, the SPPP is intended to be broader and
more comprehensive than a federal oil Spill Prevention, Control, and
Countermeasure Plan (SPCC). For facilities subject to a federal SPCC Plan, any
portion of the SPCC Plan fully compliant with the requirements of this permit may
be used to demonstrate compliance with this permit.
4. Spill Prevention and Response Procedures. The Spill Prevention and Response
Procedures (SPRP) shall incorporate an assessment of potential pollutant sources based on
a materials inventory of the facility. Facility personnel (or the team) responsible for
implementing the SPRP shall be identified in a written list incorporated into the SPRP and
signed and dated by each individual acknowledging their responsibilities for the
Part III Page 3 of 5

Permit No. NCG020000
procedures. A responsible person shall be on -site at all times during facility operations that
have increased potential to contaminate stormwater runoff through spills or exposure of
materials associated with the facility operations. The SPRP must be site stormwater
specific. Therefore, an oil Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure Plan (SPCC) may be
a component of the SPRP, but may not be sufficient to completely address the stormwater
aspects of the SPRP. The common elements of the SPCC with the SPRP may be incorporated
by reference into the SPRP.
5. Preventative Maintenance and Good Housekeeping Program. A preventative
maintenance and good housekeeping program shall be developed and implemented. The
program shall ensure equipment used during mining activity on a site must be operated and
maintained to prevent potential pollution of the surface water or groundwaters of the state.
Fuels, lubricants, coolants, hydraulic fluids, or any other petroleum products shall not be
discharged on the ground or into surface waters. Spent lubricants and fuels shall be
disposed of properly and in accordance with applicable federal disposal regulations. Spilled
fluids shall be cleaned up to the maximum extent practicable and properly disposed of to
prevent entry to surface waters or groundwaters of the state. The program shall establish
schedules of inspections, maintenance, and housekeeping measures for vehicle
maintenance and industrial activity areas (including material storage and handling areas,
disposal areas, process areas, loading and unloading areas, and haul roads), where not
already addressed under another element of the SPPP. Timely compliance with the
established schedules for inspections, maintenance, and housekeeping shall be recorded
and maintained in the SPPP.
6. Employee Training. Training programs shall be developed and training provided at a
minimum on an annual basis for facility personnel with responsibilities for: spill response
and cleanup, preventative maintenance activities, and for any of the facility's operations
that have the potential to contaminate stormwater runoff. Additional required training
items include: used oil management, spent solvent management, and fueling procedures.
The annual training shall be documented by the signature and printed or typed name of
each employee trained.
7. Responsible Party. The SPPP shall identify a specific position(s) responsible for the
overall coordination, development, implementation, and revision to the SPPP.
Responsibilities for all components of the SPPP shall be documented and position
assignments provided.
8. SPPP Amendment and Annual Update. All aspects of the SPPP shall be reviewed and
updated on an annual basis. The permittee shall amend the SPPP whenever there is a
change in design, construction, operation, site drainage, maintenance, or configuration of
the physical features which may have a significant effect on the potential for the discharge
of pollutants to surface waters. The annual update shall include at a minimum:
(a) an updated list ofsignificantspills or leaks of pollutants for the previous three (3)
years, or the notation that no spills have occurred (element of the Site Overview);
(b) a written re -certification that the stormwater outfalls have been evaluated for the
presence of non-stormwater discharges (element of the Site Overview);
(c) a documented re-evaluation of the effectiveness of the on -site stormwater BMPs;
(d) a review and comparison of sample analytical data to benchmark values (if applicable)
over the past year, including a discussion about Tiered Response status. The
permittee shall use the Division's Annual Summary Data Monitoring Report (DMR)
Part lil Page 4 of 5

Permit No. NCG020000
form, available from the Stormwater Permitting Program's website (See'Monitoring
Forms' here: littp://portal.ncdennorgjweb/lr/npdes-stormwater).
(e) a comparison of the permittee's estimate or record of the pastyear's average daily and
maximum daily wastewater flow rates with the permittee s estimate of the coming
year's average daily and maximum daily wastewater flow rates, taking into account any
changes in the mine footprint or operational procedures anticipated in the coming
year. For any anticipated increased wastewater discharges into receiving waters
classified as HQW or ORW, the permittee shall compare the estimated increased
discharge flow rates to 50 percent of the receiving water 7Q10. (See 'fable 8, Footnote
7.)
The Director may notify the permittee when the SPPP does not meet one or more of the
minimum requirements of the permit. Within 30 days of such notice, the permittee shall
submit a time schedule to the Director for modifying the SPPP to meet minimum
requirements. The permittee shall provide certification in writing (in accordance with Part
V, Section B, Paragraph 5) to the Director that the changes have been made.
9. SPPP Implementation. The permittee shall implement the Stormwater Pollution
Prevention Plan and all appropriate BMPs consistent with the provisions of this permit, in
order to control contaminants entering surface waters via stormwater that comes in contact
with any overburden that is not stabilized, raw materials, intermediate products, finished
products, byproducts or waste products located on the site covered by this permit.
Implementation of the SPPP shall include documentation of all monitoring, measurements,
inspections, maintenance activities, and training provided to employees, including the log of
the sampling data and of actions taken to implement BMPs associated with the industrial.
activities, including vehicle maintenance activities. Such documentation shall be kept on -
site for a period of five (5) years and made available to the Director or the Director's
authorized representative immediately upon request.

PART IV - MONITORING, CONTROLS, AND LIMITATIONS FOR PERMITTED
DISCHARGES
SECTION A: STORMWATER DISCHARGES - ANALYTICAL MONITORING
REQUIREMENTS
Regulated industrial stormwater discharges are discharges of stormwater-only flows from
mining activity areas, including (but not limited to) areas of mine excavation, other land
disturbance, process areas, and vehicle maintenance. This section does not apply to wastewater
discharges from mine dewatering and process areas. Analytical monitoring for stormwater
discharges shall be performed for parameters as specified in Tables 1 through 3.
Monitoring Exemption
Analytical monitoring is not required for any basin or pond designed to contain the 25-year, 24-
hour storm (see Part VI, Definitions) without discharging, and that can regain capacity to hold such
an event within five (5) days' time through means other than discharge to surface waters. A basin
or pond that meets this provision is considered a non -discharging stormwater control measure.
All analytical monitoring shall be performed during a measurable storm event at each stormwater
discharge outfall (SDO). Only SDOs discharging stormwater associated with industrial activity
must be sampled (See Definitions).
A measurable storm event for the purposes of this General Permit is a storm event that results
in an actual discharge from the permitted site outfall. The time between this storm event and
the previous measureable storm event must be at least 48 hours. See Definitions

Footnotes:
1. Measurement Frequency: Twice per year (unless other provisions of this permit require monthly
sampling) during a measureable storm event, until either another permit is issued for this facility or
until this permit is revoked or rescinded. If the facility is monitoring monthly because of Tier Two or
Three response actions under the previous General Permit, the facility shall continue a monthly
monitoring and reporting schedule in Tier Two or Tier Three status until relieved by the provisions of
this permit or the Division.
2. Grab samples shall be collected within the first 30 minutes of discharge. Where physical separation
between outfalls prevents collecting all samples within the first 30 minutes, the permittee shall begin
sampling within the first 30 minutes, and shall continue until completed.
3. Sample Location: Samples shall be collected at each stormwater discharge outfall (00) unless
representative outfall status (ROS) has been granted. A copy of the Division's letter granting ROS shall be
kept on site with the SPPP.
4. Turbidity must be monitored at the stormwater discharge outfall (SDO). In addition to the SDO, the
permittee select to also monitor turbidity in the receiving water, directly upstream (U) and

2. Adverse Weathgr
Adverse conditions are those that are dangerous or create inaccessibility for personnel, such as local
flooding, high winds, or electrical storms, or situations that otherwise make sampling impractical.
When adverse weather conditions prevent the collection of samples during the sample period, the
permittee must take a substitute sample or perform a visual assessment during the next qualifying
storm event. Documentation of an adverse event (with date, time and written narrative) and the
rationale must be included with your SPPP records. Adverse weather does not exempt the permittee
from having to file a monitoring report in accordance with the sampling schedule. Adverse events
and failures to monitor must also be explained and reported on the relevant DMR.
3. Allowable Non-Stormwater Discharges
This General Permit regulates stormwater discharges. Non-stormwater discharges which shall be
allowed in the stormwater conveyance system include:
a. All other discharges that are authorized by a non-stormwater NPDES permit.
b. Uncontaminated groundwater, foundation drains, air -conditioner condensate without added
chemicals, springs, discharges of uncontaminated potable water, waterline and fire hydrant
flushings, water from footing drains, irrigation waters, flows from riparian habitats and
wetlands.
c. Discharges resulting from fire -fighting or fire -fighting training, or emergency shower or eye
wash as a result of use in the event of an emergency.
4. Best Management Practices (BMPs)
Measures or practices used to reduce the amount of pollution entering surface waters. BMPs may
take the form of a process, activity, or physical structure. More information on BMPs can be found at:
