Hello Ms. Wiggs,
We spoke today regarding our Morganton Quarry not taking a pit discharge sample in the second quarter.
However, we have already taken a sample for the 3rd quarter and the parameters were all well within the permit
range. Please see attached lab results. As I remember you saying in our phone conversation today you
recommended that we take 2 water samples for the 3r`I quarter and if both results are within the permit ranges,
we can resume as normal and take one sample per quarter per the permit.
Please confirm that you agree.
Thank you,

This letter accompanies the discharge monitoring report for the above referenced
facility. The Turbidity result from our first quarter process water sample was above the
action level of 50 NTU's.
We had determined that the pit water elevation was lower than normal while we
were working on the lower benches in the quarry, which resulted in a turbidity level of
56.32 NTU. We had another discharge in the following quarter and this water sample
grab resulted in a much less than the action level of 13.69 NTU. We believe the spike in
the turbidity was out of the norm and we have a better handle on it now.
If you have any questions about the above information, please contact John Peck,
Plant Supervisor at 828-437-2616 or myself at 704-547-7076.

Subject: NPDES Stormwater Permit - Representative Outfall Status Approval
Permit No. NCG020177
Vulcan -Morganton Quarry
Burke County
Dear Mr. Knopf:
Division of Water Quality staff has reviewed your request dated February 1, 2012 for determination that
stormwater discharge outfall (SDO) 147-002 be granted representative outfall status for stormwater outfalls
147-003 and 147-004. Based on a site visit and information provided, the request has been approved and is
effective with the next sampling event. We also want to remind you that the permit still requires Qualitative
Monitoring be performed at all SDOs, regardless of representative status. The permit also requires that Vulcan
continue to sample SDO number 147-001 as a wastewater discharge.
By notice of this letter the Vulcan Morganton Quarry site is to sample SDO 147-001 and SDO 147-002 during a
discharge event and does not have to gather those samples within the first 30 minutes of discharge.
Please append this letter to your Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) or permit to document that
representative outfall status has been approved as well as sampling approval outside the first 30 minute time
range. If changes in drainage areas, structures, processes, storage practices, or other activities occur that
significantly alter the basis of this approval, representative outfall status may no longer be valid. You should
either resume sampling at all SDOs, or reapply to this office for representative outfall status based on updated
information. If you have any questions or comments concerning this letter, please contact Linda Wiggs at (828)
296-4500 or [e-mail].

Permit: NCG020177 Owner- Facility: Vulcan Construction Materials LP
Inspection Date: 12/08/2011 Inspection Type: Compliance Evaluation
Inspection Summary:
Reason for Visit: Routine
Toured quarry and outfalls with Tim Knopf, John Peck, and Ryan Haas. Went through some paperwork and reiterated
importance of data transference and documentation. Cleared up some questions regarding these issues. Discussed
sampling and no flow reporting. I will get back with them on consensus regarding gathering samples within the first 30
minutes vs not sampling at all if they cannot get sample in first 30 minutes.
Vulcan will be requesting Representative Outfall Status (ROS) for Outfall #3 and #4 which during the inspection did not
pose any concerns to receiving waters. Once ROS is granted Qualitative and erosion control inspections will continue for
outfalls 3# and #4 areas to make sure rills/gullies don't form, etc. Analytical and Qualitative Monitoring are required at
Outfalls #1 and #2 which suffice in representing this quarrys discharge to surface waters.
Qualitative Monitoring Yes No NA NE
Has the facility conducted its Qualitative Monitoring semi-annually? ■ Cl ❑ ❑
Comment: Informed them to keep an eye on sediment at outfalls, specifically outfall
#2. Qualitative monitoring will continue for all outfalls.
Analytical Monitoring Yes No NA NE
Has the facility conducted its Analytical monitoring? ■ ❑ ❑ ❑
# Has the facility conducted its Analytical monitoring from Vehicle Maintenance areas? ■ ❑ ❑ ❑
Comment: SDO #2 was discussed with regard to no flow notation in 2010, as well as it
being the outfall that will need to be maintained the most. This outfall could have a
small potential to receive wastewater (WW), but did not appear to be during the
inspection. The wash screenings goes through 2 basins to clean stone stockpiles
without an apparent discharge. So, as long as they can maintain no discharge of the
wash water then SDO #2 is to be analytically monitored as stormwater (SW). SD0#1 is
to be analytically monitored as WW.
Permit and Outfalis Yes No NA NE
# Is a copy of the Permit and the Certificate of Coverage available at the site? ■ Cl ❑ ❑
# Were all outfalls observed during the inspection? ■ 0 ❑ ❑
# If the facility has representative outfall status, is it properly documented by the Division? ❑ ❑ ■ ❑
# Has the facility evaluated all illicit (non stormwater) discharges? 0 0 ❑ ❑
Comment: SDO#2 needed some maintenance at the inlet of the discharge pipe. It
also had minor sediment deposited at the outfall. The minor deposit at the outfall did not
go beyond the outfall small area or impact receiving waters. This outfall will require
continuous maintenance since the only treatment unit is a small rock dam.
SDO#2 discharge flowed to a small trib through a nice wetland to the river.
SD0#1 is a pond discharging to a tributary. No impacts to receiving waters were noted
at SDO#1.

General Permit NCG020000
Request for Sampling Extension
Various Counties
Dear Mr. Knopf:
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
r,
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:

rllonitoring Extension Request
July 2, 2010
• 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 NC6020000 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„9-19) 807-6372.
Sincerely,

If a facility is required to sample multiple discharge locations with very similar storm water discharges, the
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 out are still subject to the qualitative monitoring
requirements of the facility's permit —unless otherwise allowed by the permit (such as NCGO2O000)nd DWQ a
approval. The approval letter from DWQ must be kept on site with the facility's Storm water Pollution
Prevention Plan. The facility must notify DWQ in writing if any changes affect representative status.

SECTION 5.0 DISCHARGE APLING 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 two appropriate
sampling locations at the Morganton 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.

activity. This sample location is
representative of all discharges from yard
and material stockpile areas.
Note: There are a total o53ischarge points (2 Stormwater, 1 process water) at the Morganton
Quarry site.f
Mine dewatering flows and runoff from yard and process areas which drain to the pit are
normally pumped to the plant area to be used for washwater, etc. and then is recycled back
to the pit_ The piping is valved such that dewatering flow can be pumped, if necessary, to the
large pond northwest of the shop. The discharge from the pond is outfall 147-001. The shop
and vehicle maintenance areas drain to the pit and is discharged as process water. Therefore
no maintenance sampling is required.
Outfalls 147-002 and 147:004 both receive runoff primarily from yard and material stockpile
areas. Slace_.47_-= receives flow from the largest area, it is the appropriate sampling point
to monitor this type of runoff.
Former Outfall 147-003 was the discharge from the large pond northwest of the shop which is
now the process water outfall.
Future outfalls 005 through 011 may be installed in the coming years. They are all outfalls
associated with anticipated land disturbing activity on new property as the quarry site
expands.
The following table summarizes the total additional outfalls at this site which will not require sampling.
The abovementioned outfalls that will be sampled have been linked to the following outfalls based on
the overall type of discharge each additional outfall will represent. All outfall locations are indicated
