Definitions: Mg/L — milligrams per liter NTU - Nephelometric Turbidity Units C — Celsius Permit N'C0028169 A. (3.) ACUTE TOXICITY MONITORING (QUARTERLY) The permittee shall conduct acute toxicity tests on a quarterly basis using protocols defined in the North Carolina Procedure Document entitled "Pass/Fail Methodology For Determining Acute Toxicity In A Single Effluent Concentration" (Revised -July, 1992 or subsequent versions). The monitoring shall be performed as a Fathead Minnow (Pimephales promelas) 24 hour static test. The effluent concentration at which there may be at no time significant acute mortality is 90% (defined as treatment two in the procedure document). Effluent samples for self - monitoring purposes must be obtained during representative effluent discharge below all waste treatment. The tests will be performed during the months of February, May, August and November. All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit condition will be entered on the Effluent Discharge Monitoring Form (MR-1) for the month in which it was performed, using the parameter code TGE6C. Additionally, DWQ Form AT-2 (original) is to be sent to the following address: Attention: North Carolina Division of Water Quality Environmental Sciences Section 1621 Mail Service Center Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1621 Completed Aquatic Toxicity Test Forms shall be filed with the Environmental Sciences Section no later than 30 days after the end of the reporting period for which the report is made. Test data shall be complete and accurate and include all supporting chemical/physical measurements performed in association with the toxicity tests, as well as all dose/response data. Total residual chlorine of the effluent toxicity sample must be measured and reported if chlorine is employed for disinfection of the waste stream. Should there be no discharge of flow from the facility during a month in which toxicity monitoring is required, the permittee will complete the information located at the top of the aquatic toxicity (AT) test form indicating the facility name, permit number, pipe number, county, and the month/year of the report with the notation of "No Flow" in the comment area of the form. The report shall be submitted to the Environmental Sciences Section at the address cited above. Should any single quarterly monitoring indicate a failure to meet specified limits, then monthly monitoring will begin immediately until such time that a single test is passed. Upon passing, this monthly test requirement will revert to quarterly in the months specified above. Should the permittee fail to monitor during a month in which toxicity monitoring is required, then monthly monitoring will begin immediately until such time that a single test is passed. Upon passing, this monthly test requirement will revert to quarterly in the months specified above. Should any test data from either these monitoring requirements or tests performed by the North Carolina Division of Water Quality indicate potential impacts to the receiving stream, this permit may be re -opened and modified to include alternate monitoring requirements or limits. NOTE: Failure to achieve test conditions as specified in the cited document, such as minimum control organism survival and appropriate environmental controls, shall constitute an invalid test and will require immediate follow- up testing to be completed no later than the last day of the month following the month of the initial monitoring. HEDRICK INDUSTRIES 7 Yorkshire St. Suite 102 Asheville, NC 28803 January 23, 2007 Agyeman Adu-Poku NCDENR, Division of Water Quality 1617 Mail Service Center Raleigh, NC 27699-1617 Dear Agyeman I would like to make the following comments to our draft NPDES permit NC0028169. The line stating "the Permittee is authorized to only discharge from outfall 001 during 25-year storm event" should be changed to the Permittee is authorized to only discharge from outfall 001 during a 5-year storm event. I would also like to raise the monthly average and daily maximum for total suspended solids to 100 mg/L. If this basin is only to discharge in a storm event then I think the parameters should more closely resemble the requirements for the General NPDES permit. It should also be noted that if there is no discharge than acute toxicity monitoring is not required. Also is it required that Hedrick Industries have a certified operator at this site. If you have any questions please call me at 828-277-7030. Sincerely, frfrn Jason Conner Environmental Director Re: Aquadale Quarry Subject: Re: Aquadale Quarry From: Agyeman Adu-Poku <Agyeman.Adupoku@ncmail.net> Date: Tue, 19 Dec 2006 13:36:53 -0500 To: Jason Conner <jconner@hedrickind.com> Jason, Thanks for getting back with me. I have a draft permit going out to you and public notice tomorrow. If we don't receive any adverse comments, you should have a new permit effective March 1, 2007.

DENR/DWQ FACT SHEET FOR NPDES PERMIT DEVELOPMENT NPDES No. NC0028169 Facility Information Applicant/Facility Name: BV Hedrick Gravel and Sand Co. Applicant Address: P.O. Box 987, Albemarle, NC 28002 Facility Address: NCSR 2029, West of Aquadale Permitted Flow N/A Type of Waste: Quarry dewatering, rock washing Facility/Permit Status: Modification County: Stanly Miscellaneous Receiving Stream: Stream Classification: 303(d) Listed?: Long Branch C No Regional Office: USGS Topo Quad: Permit Writer: Mooresville G18NW' Agyeman Adu-Poku Subbasin: 03-07-13 Date: December 13, 2006 Drainage Area (mi2): Summer 7Q10 (cfs) Winter 7Q10 (cfs): 0 Average Flow (cfs): IWC (%): Primary SIC Code: 100% 3295 --491P SUMMARY BV Hedrick operates a lightweight aggregate (LWA) manufacturing facility on an approximate 689-acre parcel of land in Norwood North Carolina. The facility may be subdivided into a quarrying operation where the raw material used to make LWA is mined, a raw material department where rock is processed (crushed and sized through screens), the kiln department where the LWA is produced, and a finish department where LWA is crushed, sized, and placed in storage for future sale. Solite Corporation was the previous owner, the site changed ownership in 2005. The site has a General Stormwater Permit. Process water for most operations at the site comes from the Treatment Works Pond (TWP), after being used at the plant for various purposes (see below), process wastewater is discharged back into the TWP. Therefore, process water is being recycled at the site. Originally, the company was permitted to discharge water through Outfall 002 into Long Branch, which is a class C water in the Yadkin -Pee Dee River Basin. Outfall 002 was located below the dam, which separates the TWP from Long Branch. Discharges occurred only intermittently, after significant storm events. In the fall 2001 Mooresville Regional Office conducted an inspection of the site and determination was made that the TWP is "waters of the state". Solite Corporation (owner at that time) disagreed with the determination. However, the new owner (BV Hedrick) did not dispute it, and agreed to the relocation of the Outfall 002 to the former TWP. Sampling will be conducted at the point where all process wastewater is being discharged into the TWP. BV Hedrick wanted to add outfall 001 in order to be able to discharge from dike area in case of storm event. The wastewater generated on -site comes from the following sources: mine dewatering (main source of water), water from a rock wash screening system, dust suppression, and a small amount of cooling water (discharged only during heavy rainfall). Cooling water is being used to cool LWA immediately after its release from the kilns. LWA is dumped into a large depression that contains approximately 1,000 gallons of water (BPJ). The depression itself is located in a very low-lying area, hence release of this cooling water is very unlikely and may occur during very Fact Sheet NPDES Modification Page 1 heavy rainfalls. In addition, a significant portion of the water is evaporated during the cooling process. TOXICITY TESTING: Type of Toxicity Test: Existing Limit: Recommended Limit: Monitoring Schedule: Fathead minnow, Acute P/F 001/002: Acute P/F, Annual 001/002: Acute P/F, Quarterly February, May, August and November. COMPLIANCE SUMMARY: No compliance problem for the limited number of discharges over the past four years. Proposed Changes: Outfall 001 has been added and the corresponding effluent limitation page included. PROPOSED SCHEDULE FOR PERMIT ISSUANCE: Draft Permit to Public Notice: December 20, 2006 (est.)
