Dear Mr. Sample:
Coleen N. Sullins, Director
Division of Water Quality
On July 2, 2008 Raleigh Regional Office (RRO).rcpresentatives Myrl Nisely and Danny Smith
observed the mine site with you to evaluate adherence to the Sunrock mine stomiwater permit
NCG020072. Several deficiencies in carrying out permit requirements were noted in a NOV
letter dated 7/10/08. During that inspection the possibility of Representative Outfall Status was
discussed: You soon submitted a written request to RRO with an annotated aerial photo.
The Representative Outfall Status request identified:
1) OutfalI 7 to represent outfalls 3,4,5,6 and 8,
2) Outfall 9 serving industrial activity in the vicinity of the Vehicle Maintenance Shop,
3) - Outfall 10 serving Pit Dewatering and
4) Outfall 1 serving a combination of Ready Mix Concrete, Asphalt, and the Fines Pond.
(Note: it was explained that Outfall 2 has been eliminated.)
The RRO conducted follow-up inspections on 6/26 and 8/12/08 to observe conditions and better
understand the request. Based upon several site visits, the absence of historic monitoring data,
the failure to maintain'control measures, sediment observed in surface waters, sediment observed
in riparian/ streamside areas (pursuant to 15A NCAC 2B .0233) and your site descriptions the
following representative outfall locations are approved:
Outfall 1 — Sampling is required at the frequency and for the parameters set forth in the permit.
Outfall 2 , Sampling is required at the frequency and for the parameters set forth in the permit.
[Note: you have explained that this outfall no longer discharges; if that is the case you
do not have sample this location. However, our observations are different. If this
outfall discharges you are required to sample it and conduct qualitative monitoring. For

Sunrock Corporation. Further, if Carolina Sunrock Corporation wishes to revisit or make future
requests for. representative outfalls, status is subject to changes or revocation from time to time.

Quantitative monitoring -of these locations as required by Part III Sections B and C.
In addition to monitoring, NCG020000 permit includes the following conditions (please review
permit,. for other permit conditions not listed below).
Implementation of stormwater BMPs must ensure contaminants do. not enter surface waters
via stormwater.

areas etc).
e Stormwater BMPs are required to be inspected at least once every seven -calendar days and
within 24 hours after any storm event that results in a discharge.
e BMPs are to be Operated and Maintained so they are cleaned out when the sediment'storage

Sunrock Butner Request for Representative Outfall Status, December 2008 Page 3 of 3
If sedimentation has occurred, records with a brief explanation as to the measure taken to
prevent future releases and to remove sediment need to be available.

comply with permit conditions as set forth in NCG020000. It is the intention of this office to
conduct another inspection in the near future. If violations are continuing, enforcement
proceeding.as appropriate may be recommended. Please note that violations are subject to a

in the permit. This outfall (6) may be used as a representative outfall location for outfalls
# 5, 6 and 7 as depicted on the "Site Map, Carolina Sunrock, LLC, Butner Quarry,
Revised dated 8-11-08" [RRO received date stamp September 9, 2008].
Outfall 8 - Sampling is required at this location at the frequency and for the parameters set forth
in the permit.
Outfall 9 - Sampling is required at this location at the frequency and for the parameters set forth
in the permit
Outfall 10 - Sampling is required at this location at the frequency and for the parameters set forth
in the permit
Qualitative Monitoring
Sampling is required at all ten outfalls at the frequency and for the parameters set forth
in the permit. This kind of monitoring does not receive representative outfall status. The
observation forms are to be made available during inspections.
Because topography changes in a dynamic mine situation, the above approval of the
representative outfall may be revisited/re-opened by either Division of Water Quality or Carolina
Sunrock Corporation. Further, if Carolina Sunrock Corporation wishes to revisit or make future
requests for representative outfalls, status is subject to changes or revocation from time to time.
Also, if new outfalls are created or if outfall locations are changed, sampling is required.
As stated in the Notice of Violation 7/10/08, there has been a failure to carry out Qualitative and
Quantitative monitoring'of these locations as required by Part III Sections B and C.
In addition to monitoring, NCG020000 permit includes the following conditions (please review
permit, for other permit conditions not listed below).
• Implementation of stormwater BMPs must ensure contaminants do, not enter surface waters
via stormwater.
• Stormwater BMPS are required to be maintained for land disturbing process areas and areas
that are outside process areas (access roads, areas being prepared for mining, equipment storage
areas etc).
0 Stormwater BMPs are required to be inspected at least once every seven -calendar days and
within 24 hours after any storm event that results in a discharge.
• BMPs are to be Operated and Maintained so they are cleaned out when the sediment storage
capacity has been reduced by 50%.
0 Visible sediment is not allowed to leave the property.
FV Sunrock Butner Request for Representative Outfail Status, December 2008 Page 3 of 3
• If sedimentation has occurred, records with a brief explanation as to the measure taken to
prevent future releases and to remove sediment need to be available.
As already noted, there have been failures in the past for Sunrock Butner Quarry to carry out and
comply with permit conditions as set forth in NCG020000. It is the intention of this office to
conduct another inspection in the near future. If violations are continuing, enforcement
proceeding as appropriate may be recommended. Please note that violations are subject to a
civil penalty assessment of up to $25,000.00 per day for each violation.
If you have comments or questions about this letter, or want to further review any details with
our office, please contact Myrl Nisely or me at 919-791-4200.

This letter is to request representative outfali status for the outlet number 7indicated on the attached map as representing
numbers 3 through 8 and the new measures to be installed in the expansion area east of the creek. This represents run-off
from the areas stripped or in the process of being stripped for mine expansion. The recommended locations for the
monitoring location for the vehicle maintenance area and for the pit dewatering area are also identified on the map. The
location of the Concrete Plant sampling point is also located and identified on the map. The pipe at the fines disposal area
has been welded shut and the water diverted to the outlet used for the discharge of the concrete storm water (cutlet 1). The
laftong of the sampling points are identified on the map as well.

INTRODUCTION
This request is to modify the Washwater Recycle System
at Carolina Sunrock Corporation's Butner Quarry. The
existing system was permitted and constructed in 1985. The
new system will perform the same function as the existing but
allow for increased plant production with lower maintenance
costs. The new system will be located adjacent to the
existing system (see attached drawing 92-221). There will be
no change in distances to down slope water ways.
DESIGN INFORMATION
The new system will be comprised of 4 settling ponds and
1 finish, gathering pond (see drawings 92-221 & 92-222). The
return water from the stone processing plant will be
conducted by 18" Corrugated Metal Pipe (CMP) to a concrete
flow diverter box. There will be a diverter box at the head
end of each settling pond. The diverter box will send the
return water to the pond at the diverter box or on to the
next diverter box and pond. Only one settling pond will be
used at a time. The water will enter the settling pond and
slow down because of the pond size. The water will be
retained in the settling pond, depending upon the flow rate
and pond condition, between 1.3 to 11 hours. This amount of
® time and with the use of the NALCO coagulant, will allow the
rock fines to settle out and the water to clarify. The water
will flow out the settling pond over an adjustable weir into
the finish, gathering pond. This finish pond will retain the
water for another 3 to 6 hours. The pond dimensions,
capacities and detention times are attached.
The water will be pumped back into the stone processing
plant by 2 - Crane Deming, figure 5062 pumps with 40 Hp
electric motors. The pumps are rated at 600 GPM at 182 ft.
of head each. The water supply line from the pumping station
to the stone processing plant will be 6" and 811 diameter
schedule 40 pipe. The new supply line will connect into the
existing water system near the base of the wash screen.
The processing plant will not change. The existing wash
screens, supply / return piping and sand dewaterer will
remain.
No high water alarms will be required since the system
is designed to operate on gravity. All water is treated by
the time it passes through the settling ponds. The finish
pond collects the treated water as a safety measure. Anv
discharges due to rain fall runoff will be sent throu+

the settling ponds as normal flow, then through the finish
pond. If the finish pond then becomes over full, the excess
flow from this pond returns to the old quarry through a 24"
CMP drain. The old quarry provides for a further detention
time and settling of any remaining rock fines in the process
water. Both the settling ponds and the old quarry contain a
volume greater than the required 10 year, 24 hour storm event
as required by current regulations. All make up water for
the washwater system is pumped up from the old quarry.
No back up electric system will be required since the
system is gravity operated. The water pumps are used only to
supply water to the processing plant and the water is gravity
returned.
CONSTRUCTION
The settling ponds will be built upon undisturbed earth
and fill. Since the washwater system is handling only
processed rock fines, no ground water contamination is
possible. The bed rock under lying the settling ponds is a
Diabase Traprock of massive structure. There are very few
joints and seams. The existing quarry has very little inflow
of ground water. The water that is pumped from the quarry is
mostly storm run off. With the Diabase under the ponds, no
ground water in flow is expected from the ponds.
The ponds sides will be constructed of materials
borrowed from the site. All fills will be compacted to 95%
of maximum Proctor density. The bottoms and sides will then
be lined with compacted ABC to form an impermeable layer.
The overflow weirs will be constructed of concrete and wood.
Any areas where there is a possibility of erosion will be
either concrete lined or treated with erosion control stone.
The water freeboard and elevations will be maintained as
shown on the attached drawings. The weir flow design is
attached.
The ponds numbered 1, 2, & 5 will be constructed first.
The existing ponds will then be drained into the new settling
ponds no. 1 & 2 and the new system placed into operation.
The old ponds will then be backfilled and reclaimed for stone
storage and stockpiling. Ponds no. 3 & 4 will then be
constructed as shown on the drawings.

OPERATION
The settling ponds no. 1 through 4 will be operated one
at a time. The return water from the stone processing plant
will be gravity fed into one pond and the rock fines allowed
to settle out. The treated water will then flow over the
weir at the end of the settling pond into the finish pond.
When the pond in operation fills to 3/4 full of rock tines,
the return water will be diverted to the next pond. The
first pond will then be allowed to settle further. A
portable pump will then be used to empty the excess water
from the first pond into the operating pond. As the first
pond continues to settle and the rock fines begin to dry, the
rock fines will be removed by mechanical means and trucked to
a storage area on the site. The rock fines when dried will
then be either sold for use as fill or used on site for
construction projects around the quarry.
The rock fines from the ponds do not contain any
hazardous wastes. These fines are an extremely pulverized
version of the Diabase Traprock being mined on the site for
use in roads, buildings, and industrial processes.
As each pond is in operation, another pond will be
prepared for use in the next cycle. This cycling will
continue between the four settling ponds.
The NALCO 9152 coagulant will continue being used to
help the rock fines to settle out. The relocated ponds,
being larger in capacity, should require a lower application
rate of the coagulant due to the longer detention time.
