Ready Mixed Concrete — White 48 Plant
Franklin County
Department of Environment and Natural Resources staff conducted a multimedia compliance inspection
of Ready Mixed Concrete — White #8 Plant on August 4, 2015 for permitted and/or other activities
administered by the following Divisions:
Division of Air
Division of Energy,
Division of Water
Division of Waste
Quality(DAQ)
Mineral, and Land
Resources (DWR)
Management (DWM)
Resources EMLR
We hope that you have enjoyed the benefit of our initiative to provide a single inspector capable of
handling multiple areas of environmental compliance at your facility. The results of each applicable
inspection area and any associated response actions or necessary corrective measures are detailed in the
Division specific areas of the attached report. If there are no notes or comments under each Division
header, you may assume compliance with that particular Division's rules and regulations at the time of
inspection. Should violations be noted in the attached report, you may receive separate enforcement
related correspondence in addition to this report.
If you have any questions regarding this multimedia inspection, please contact me at ChengLhang
([e-mail]). Thank you for your cooperation.

Ready Mixed Concrete — White #8 Plant
Fanklin County
Dear Mr. Walters:
Staff from the Department of Environmental and Natural Resources conducted a stormwater inspection
on August 4, 2015, as part of a multimedia inspection of your facility. The assistance provided by Mr.
Jay Watkins, Operations Manger, and you during the inspection was greatly appreciated. The inspection
report is attached. Findings during the inspection were as follows:
Certificate of Coverage (COC) No. NCG140072 under NPDES General Permit NCG140000
was issued to Ready Mixed Concrete — White #8 Plant to discharge stormwater runoff and
process wastewater to an unnamed tributary to Smith Creek, a WS-II, HQW, NSW stream, in
the Neuse River Basin.
2. The facility has been used as a flyash storage site, fly ash is offloaded to silos from railcars
and loaded into tanker trucks and transported to other company facilities. Ready mix concrete
has not been batched since the last inspection. The facility has developed a stormwater
pollution prevention plan (SPPP). A review of the plan indicated that it included all of the
components required by the general permit.
3. Semi-annual qualitative and analytical monitoring has been conducted as required by the
permit at the both stormwater discharge outfalls (SDOs).
4. Both SDOs were observed during the inspection. The outfalls were found maintained and
accessible.

(I) DIRECTIONS TO FACILITY: From RRQ, take I-440 E Inner Beltline. Exit onto Capital Blvd./US-1 N, and follow toward
Wake Forest to NC-98. Take the NC-98 exit and turn right onto NC-98 E. Follow NC-98 into Wake Forest. In Wake Forest,
NC-98 turns to the right under an underpass. Immediately past the underpass is a stoplight, turn left onto White St. Go
approximately two miles andjust past the Franklin County line, the facility will be located on the left.

(II) FACILITY DESCRIPTION: Southern Equipment Company d.b.a. Ready Mixed Concrete Company, Plant 8 is a cement
batch plant, but largely used as a terminal. Flyash comes into the facility in railcars and is unloaded into the silos at the facility.
Flyash tankers are loaded from these silos. As with any facility inspection, standard safety equipment should be wom.
(lit) INSPECTION SUMMARY: On August 4, 2015, 1(Cheng Zhang) arrived at the facility to conduct a compliance inspection.
The plant was not operating. I met with Mr. James Walters, and Mr. Jay Watkins on site. Mr. Watkins showed me the air permit
and required records. The records appeared incomplete with no logbook kept on site to document bag house maintenance and
inspections. Since this is the second time that the facility was found to have this type of violation within the past five years, a
Notice of Violation is recommended. After that we toured the facility. Otherwise, the plant appeared well -maintained from an
air quality standpoint. Details follow.

Dear Mr. Walters:

Subject: Notice of Violation
Case No. NOV-2008-PC-0450
Stormwater Compliance Inspection
Ready Mixed Concrete Co.
White St. Facility, Wake Forest, NC
NPDES Stormwater Permit NCG 140072
Franklin County
On June 20, 2008 Myrl Nisely of the Raleigh Regional Office of Division of Water Quality made
a compliance inspection at the Wake Forest facility. The help provided by operator Bob Dille
was appreciated. See the attached checklist. Comments are:
This location is no longer used for loading concrete batches into drum trucks, although
that capability still exists. Instead, bulk cement arriving in railcars is offloaded into a
silo, and then loaded into tanker trucks for transport to other Ready Mix Co. sites. This
change occurred about May 2004. Mr. Dille appeared to be the only employee routinely
on site.
2. The SPPP manual is woefully out of date. All but one of the components reflected last
activity ranging from the years 2004 to 2006. The only recent information was
monitoring by Mr. Lyman Austin done 2/13/2008. The last employee training was in
2006. The analytical data from 2/13 was compliant, with pH of 7.6 and 7.1 and TSS of
11.0 and 2.8 mg/1.
3. The large area of concrete covering most of the facility was clean. The outfalls showed
no evidence of cement materials, and were heavily vegetated. The drum washout pit was
empty except for receiving a flow of eyewash flushout water that had just been started
that morning. The pit had 6 to 8 ft of freeboard. Solids had historically been removed
and stacked nearby for eventual crushing. If this pit were to overflow, the water would
enter the Maintenance building, so the operator would be watchful to keep that from
happening.

4. The secondary containment no longer holds admixture chemicals. Instead, two small vats
of soap were present. The drain was open, with the valve handle removed, with evidence
of recent rainwater at the release point. Mr. Dille agreed to close it and again remove the
handle.
You are directed to respond in writing by July 18, 2008 with a schedule for accomplishing a
complete update of the SPPP manual and provision of employee training. In the training,
you must specifically address the protocols for keeping secondary containment valves closed
and secured.

Inspection Summary:
Batched cement trucks are no longer loaded at this site. Bulk cement is ofFloaded from railcars and transferred to tank
trucks for use at other company facilities.
An update of the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SP3) is needed to reflect the current use of this site. Except for
the required monitoring, the stormwater program has been neglected.
The large expanse of concrete surrounding the office was clean. The outfalls were free of deposits. The drum dump pit
had about 6 to 8ft of freeboard, and was dry until the operator directed eyewash flushing water to it today. The pit is ,
seldom used. If it ever rose to a level of overflowing the water would enter the maintenance building, so there is incentive
to maintain the pit in good operation.
There are no sand or gravel inventories on site, except for a small volume of gravel used for scale calibration. In
summary, this facility is operating in an environmentally responsible way. It is the documentation that needs attention.
