Inspection Summary:
Reason for Visit: Follow-up
Present during inspection were Tim Knopf, John Peck and Mark Curtis. This was a follow up inspection. Required action
from 4/14/11 inspection had been completed. Location Map had been updated. SDO #5 had increased treatment units
and retention time. Inspector performed onsite pH and Turbidity of SDO#5. pH was 7.2 s.u. and Turbidity was 37 NTU.
TSS was analyzed for SDO#5 by Asheville lab with a result of 7.3 mgll. SD0#5 is considered WW and to be sampled
quarterly. The washing area and residual wash water from the plant can drain to SDO#5.
SD03# was previously noted as being a WW outfall but was re-evaluated and is a SW outfall to be sampled
semi-annually. The portion of the plant that drains to SDO#3 is crushing not washing.
The process wastewater basins (recycling) were undergoing maintenance (sediment removal) during inspection.'

Comment: SD0#1 is a pond that receives mine dewatering and is considered a
wastewater (WW) discharge outfall.
SDO#2 is overland flow and receives runoff from vehicle maintenance and is considered
a stormwater (SW) outfall with vehicle maintenance requirements.
SDO#3 was determined during this inspection to be.a SW discharge instead of
previously thought WW.
SDO#4 is an intermediate point and not a final discharge point so it is not necessary to
sample this location. SD0#1 is the final discharge point for these associated flows.
SDO#5 is overland flows from stock piles and plant area and is considered a WW
discharge because of the residual wash waters. SDO#5 is also the drainage area for
the Asphalt facility (Mid State). Vulcan and Mid State are leaning towards seperating
their discharge. Vulcan is considering a berm or possibly a pipe to isolate their overland
flows from Mid State flows.
Also SDO#5 did have some erosion at the outfall that needed repair.

This letter and report are in follow-up to the Stormwater Permit Compliance Inspection conducted
on April 14, 2011. It is also in response to a Representative Outfall Status request.
Representative Outfall Status is not granted at this time. Stormwater Discharge Outfall SD0146-
003 is not considered representative of SDO 146-005. At the time of the inspection SDO 146-005
was discharging. Also, the drainage areas need to be reevaluated; it appears that SDO 146-003
does not receive a similar constitution of wastewater as SDO 146-005.
Please review the enclosed copy of the Compliance Inspection Report, which contains actions
needed and additional observations. The Required Action responses can be mailed or faxed to my
attention at the locations in the footer or emailed to the address below.
Please contact me at [phone] or linda.wiugs6bncdenr.gov, if I can be of any further

Permit: NCG020026 Owner - Facility: Vulcan Construction Materials LP
Inspection Date: 0411412011 Inspection Type: Compliance Evaluation Reason for Visit: Routine
Inspection Summary:
The Inspection focused mainly on the quarry Stormwater/Wastewater Discharge Outfall (SDO) locations and their
potential impacts to receiving streams. Vulcan requested Representative Outfall Status (ROS) for SDO 146-005;
requesting SDO 146-003 represents SDO 146-005. Required Action: ROS is not granted, at the time of the inspection
SDO 146-003 was not representative of SDO 146-005.
The Outfaii Location Map (Marshall Miller Assoc. 5/27/2010) with the drainage areas depicted does not appear to be
accurate. The SDO locations are not a concern; however the drainage areas need groundtruthing, especially outfall
146-003 drainage area. It did not appear during the inspection that most of the processing area wastewater and
stormwater flowed to outfall 146-003. (Required Action:::tJpdate'the OutfaiFL'ocation-Map to accurately show drainage
areas associated with outfalls, also include if the outfalls are monitored as a Stormwater (SW) or a Wastewater (WW)
discharge.
SDO 146-005 was discharging process water at the time of the inspection. There was a constant flow of process water
toward two gravel bermed areas that had been created in a sequence. The discharge did not appear to be causing a
turbidity issue in the receiving stream. However, the gravel berms were not serving their purpose as
erosionlsedimentationlstormwater control treatment units. Process water was flowing through the gravel berms with no
retention/treatment. The inspector had concerns that the discharge occurring during the inspection could indicate non
compliance. Please keep in mind NCG020000 Permit Requirement Part III Section A. 2. and 3.b. should be used as a
management tool to avoid non-compliance. 'Required -Action: The facility was instructed to perform additional monitoring
of this SDO to determine if the discharge was compliant.. It was suggested the facility sample the SDO 146-005 discharge
at base flow (non storm event), as well as added sampling of the discharge during a storm�event. The facility will likely
need to reconstruct or reconfigure the treatment units to maintain compliance. Sample results obtained from this SDO,
along with any changes or maintenance performed on the treatment unit need to be sent to Asheville Regional Office for
theme twxt a quarters —'
The outfall 146-005 drainage area also consists of an asphalt plant, Mid State Contractors. Mid State Contractors was
notified that they need to be covered under a Stormwater Permit (NCG 16). If the companies are interested in sharing
analytical responsibilities at SDO 146-005 the DWQ inspector is ok with Mid State and Vulcan doing so unless compliance
issues arise or otherwise notified.
Sampling Discharge Outfall requirements for the Vulcan Lenoir facility as noted during the April 2011 inspection were as
follows:
SDO 146-001 sampling required "Quarterly"; this is considered a wastewater discharge because it receives process water
from the process area and gravel pile runoff as well as mine dewatering from the pit.
SDO 146-002 sampling required "Semi-annual"; this is considered a stormwater discharge as long as water from process
area during heavy rain events is not flowing here. This outfall is to be sampled according to the vehicle maintenance
-SDO 146-00l sampling required "Quarterly"; this is considered a wastewater discharge because it receives process water
from the process area and gravel pile runoff. This drainage area is bermed with gravel along the stock yard perimeter.
The outfall is a single gravel basin/berm area without a discrete conveyance. It is recommended that twice a year during
the qualitative monitoring this perimeter berm is walked and evaluated for effectiveness.
SDO 146-005 sampling required "Quarterly"; this is considered a wastewater discharge because it receives process water
from the process area and gravel pile runoff. The outfall is two gravel berms in a series. See comments above.
Please keep in mind that evaluation of the discharge from your facility is an ongoing event. Unless there is a significant
drought or exceptional basin capacity, analytical monitoring is required. Be careful not to wait until too late in the quarter
to evaluate your discharge, otherwise you may miss a sampling event. As mentioned above, use the NCG020000 Permit
Requirement Part III Section A. 3.b. to stay on top of maintenance and likely discharge events to meet analytical
monitoring expectations.

Inspection Type: Compliance Evaluation
Reason for Visit: Routine
Comment: Inspection was primarily conducted to determine SDO locations, impacts
and suitability for representative outfall status. A Representative Outfall Status (ROS)
Request Form was received in March 2011 for several Vulcan quarry locations, the
Lenoir facility included.
ROS was requested for SDO 146-005, listing SDO 146-003 as a representative outfall.
All outfall were observed during the inspection.
Representative Outfall Status is not granted.
SDO 146-005 is a wastewater discharge that was discharging at the time of the
inpection. It appeared the wastewater flowing to SDO146-005 was a process water
flowing through the sand pile.

permittee may petition the Director for Representative Outfall Status (ROS). DWQ may grant Representative
Outfall Status if stormwater discharges from a single outfall are representative of discharges from multiple
outfalls. Approved ROS will reduce the number of outfalls where analytical sampling requirements apply.
If Representative Outfall Status is granted, ALL outfalls are still subject to the qualitative monitoring
requirements of the facility's permit —unless otherwise allowed by the permit (such as NCG020000) and DWQ
approval. The approval letter from DWQ must be kept on site with the facility's Stormwater Pollution
Prevention Plan. The facility must notify DWQ in writing if any changes affect representative status.
For questions, please contact the DWQ Regional Office for your area (see page 3)_

(Or, attach a letter or narrative to discuss this information.) For example, describe how activities and/or
materials are similar.
Please see attached.
5) Certification:
North Carolina General Statute 143-215.6 B(i) provides that:
Any person who knowingly makes any false statement, representation, or certification in any application, record,
report, plan, or other document filed or required to be maintained under this Article or a rule implementing this
Article; or who knowingly makes a false statement of a material fact in a rulemaking proceeding or contested case
under this Article; or who falsifies, tampers with, or knowingly renders inaccurate any recording or monitoring device

SECTION 5.0 DISCHARGE SAMPLING AND ANALYSIS
The General Permit requires sampling and analysis of point source discharges that fall in the following
categories.
Mine dewatering and/or discharges of process wastewater, including commingled
stormwater.
Stormwater discharges from other plant areas where the stormwater has contacted areas
directly related land disturbance and process areas.
Stormwater discharges from on -site vehicle maintenance areas.
5.1 Process Water and Stormwater Sampling/Analysis Program
Refer to Table 1 for required sample frequency and analytical parameters. There are three
appropriate sampling locations at the Lenoir Quarry which will be used to sample various process
water and stormwater discharges. Each outfall to be sampled is listed below along with a brief
description of each outfall's type of discharge.

Note: There are a total of 4 discharge points (3 Stormwater, I process water) at the Lenoir
Quarry site. -
Mine dewatering flows and runoff from yard and process areas which drain to the pit
are normally pumped to a water tank for on -site usage. It can also be pumped, if
necessary, to a pond which, from there, flows to a sediment basin and discharges at
outfall 146-001.
Outfall 146-002 is the discharge point for the runoff from vehicle maintenance areas,
and also receives runoff from small areas of material stockpile and plant.
Outfall 146-003 receives drainage from most of the plant area and a large portion of
the yard and material stockpile areas.

All mines must monitor WW discharges for TSS. Only industrial sand mine discharges are subject to TSS limits.
'` If an effluent limit is exceeded, the permittee is required to institute monthly monitoring for that parameter for the remaining permit term.
3 The discharge shall not cause an instantaneous measurement of the turbidity of the receiving water to exceed: 10 NTU for freshwater streams, lakes, and reservoirs
designated as trout waters; 25 NTU for all lakes and reservoirs, and all salt waters; 50 NTU for all other streams and surface waters. Turbidity may be monitored at the
Stormwater Discharge Outfall. Alternatively, the permittee may choose to monitor turbidity in the receiving water, directly upstream and downstream of the discharge.
° Only facilities discharging to SA waters are required to monitor for Fecal coliforms.

Subject: Vulcan Construction Materials, LP
General Permit NCG020000
Request for Sampling Extension
Various Counties
Dee Freeman
Secretary
We are writing in response to your request for an extension to collect the first semi-annual stormwater
sample under this permit. In your letter of June 23, 2010, you requested an extension to August 315t to comply with
sampling requirements at several Vulcan facilities across the state. Your letter cited reasons to support the request
that included:
• Hard copies of the new NCG020000 permit not being received until mid -February, when the permit had
become effective January 1, 2010;
• Spotty weather patterns resulting in Storm events during non -operating hours that prevent sample
collection; and
• The need for additional time to train Sampling Personnel on significant changes in the permit.
One of the reasons for your request was the new provision that monthly monitoring will apply for the
remainder of the permit term, should the mine ever fail to collect a sample during a scheduled monitoring period
(footnote 1 of Table 1 in Part 111). While considering your request, the Stormwater Permitting Unit (SPU) realized this
provision may unfairly affect permittees who obtain coverage under NCG020000 in the middle of a monitoring
period. The SPU has written up guidance to address this situation and related conflicts in the permit text (see
attachment). .
Recognizing there were possible conflicts with this provision that our guidance now addresses, DWQ will
grant your request for an extension to collect a stormwater sample by August 31, 2010. However, we note that
Vulcan Materials Company should have been prepared to comply with permit monitoring requirements prior to
receiving hard copies of the permit in mid -February. Specifically:

• The SPU met on several occasions with the North Carolina Aggregates Association (NCAA) through the
NCG020000 renewal process, beginning in August 2009. Vulcan Materials is a member of NCAA, and a
representative of the company attended the initial meeting.
• The provision that triggers monthly monitoring for failure to sample came out of discussions with industry
representatives during these meetings and was incorporated into the final permit as a result.
• The definition of representative storm event also changed as a result of these discussions with NCAA to
increase sampling opportunities during operating hours. A representative storm event in NCG020000 now
only requires a period of 48 hours of no rain prior to the event.
• An advance copy of the final permit was forwarded to the Executive Director of the NCAA on December 29,
2009 and subsequently distributed to NCAA members. The final NCG020000 permit was available to all
permittees on the DWQ website when it became effective in January 2010.
• Stormwater sampling requirements are not new with this renewal, even though sampling is now semi-
annual (instead of annual in the previous permit). Vulcan should have already been familiar with the
stormwater sampling requirements.
If you have any questions regarding this letter, please contact Bethany Georgoulias at [phone].

WATER QUALITY SECTION
ASHEVILLf-RE4'�lONAL OFFfCF
This is in response to your inspection report dated February 24, and notably Items 13, 16
and 17. While there was a slight infringement into the buffer zone, no till was placed
into jurisdictional wetlands and streams without the proper permitting. Along a short
section of the fill, the buffer was inadvertently reduced to approximately 36 feet in width.
In response to your inspection, we have removed all fill so as to reestablish a buffer of at
least 50 feet. We have also provided temporary silt fencing and have revegetated such
areas and the lower section of the berm.
As you are aware, the above work was subject of our April 2003 modification application
that was approved July 24, 2003, In conjunction with the mine permitting, we retained
Mr. Craig Wyant of A Fine Line Design to perform a comprehensive wetlands and
streams delineation, and to secure any associated permits. To verify this, please find
enclosed excerpts from his work and a copy of the US Army Corps of Engineers, Action
ID 200231138.
Our project impacted short sections of channels that were allowable under the Corps
permit. Although our project did not require 401 Certification or a permit from Division
of Water Quality, we met all associated requirements in effect at that time. There has
been no unauthorized filling of'wetlands. During berm construction, several small
"boulders" rolled into the buffer zone. One inadvertently rolled near the edge of the
jurisdictional isolated wetlands. All such boulders have been removed without any
adverse impacts or tilling.
