The Division of Water Quality rescinded your coverage under Certificate of Coverage Number
NCG070066. We replaced your coverage with .Certificate of Coverage Number NCG020789, with an
effective date of May 25, 2011.
Operating a treatment facility, discharging wastewater or discharging specific types of stormwater to
waters of the State without valid coverage under an NPDES permit is against federal and state laws and
could result in fines. If something changes and your facility would again require stormwater or
wastewater discharge permit coverage, you should notify this office immediately. We will be happy to
assist you in assuring the proper permit coverage.
If the facility is in the process of being sold, you will be performing a public service if you would inform
the new or prospective owners of their potential need for NPDES permit coverage.
If you have questions about this matter, please contact Boyd DeVane at 919 807-6373, or the Water
Quality staff in our Mooresville Regional Office at 704-663-1699.

Mike,
We've received an NOI from the Hanson Brick for their site in Monroe (Union County) for
coverage of their clay and shale mine. The site discharges stormwater to an unnamed tributary
to South Fork Crooked Creek (C). The NOI is attached. Please let me know if you would like
me to send a hardcopy of the NOI and the large site plan.

Does the Mooresville Regional Office have any concerns about issuing this facility a COC for
this general permit, and are there any potential impacts to wetlands? If we don't receive any
objections, we'll issue the COC in 30 days.
Thanks,
Brian

National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System application for coverage under General Permit
NCG020000:
STORMWATER DISCHARGES associated•with activities classified as:
SIC (Standard Industrial Classification) Code - 14XX Mineral Mining Industry (except as specified below)
The following activities are also included:
• Active or inactive alining operations (including borrow pits --except for NCDOT borrow pits) that discharge
stormwater contaminated with or that has come in contact with, any overburden, raw material, intermediate
products, finished products, byproducts or waste products located on the site of such operations;
• Stormwater from vehicle maintenance activities at mining operations;
• Overflow from facilities that recycle process wastewater; and/or
• Mine dewatering (wastewater)
The following activities are specifically excluded from coverage under this General Permit:
• Stormwater discharges associated with peat mining, coal mining, and metal mining;
• Stormwater discharges from mining operations which are intermixed on site with stormwater from asphalt
operations and/or concrete operations;
• Stormwater discharges associated with oil and gas extraction operations; and
• Stormwater discharges associated with tourist gem mines
• NCDOT borrow pits are covered under NCS000150
The following discharges are covered by NPDES general permit NCG520000 instead of NCG020000:
• Point source discharges of stormwater and wastewater from in -stream sand mining operations (i.e., sand
dredging or dipping operations)
For new mining sites that require an authorization to construct (ATC) wastewater treatment facilities: This
NOI is also an APPLICATION FOR an ATC for new.wastewater treatment facilities. ATC requests must be
submitted at least 90 days prior to construction'.
For existing mining sites that require an Authorization to Operate (ATO) wastewater treatment facilities:
This NOI is also an APPLICATION FOR an ATO for wastewater treatment facilities in place.
Construction, modification, or installation of anV new treatment components at an existin_g site requires an
ATC. (If the site is already covered by NCG020000, the ATC request may be submitted without an NOI).
Some wastewater treatment facilities used to treat or recycle wastewater at mining sites will require an ATC rp for
to construction per 15A NCAC 2H .0138. Please see the NCG020000 General Permit for details about which
treatment facilities require an ATC (summarized in Table 1 below). The authorization to construct or continue
to operate will be issued at the same time as the Certificate of Coverage (COC) for the NCG02 permit. Design of
treatment facilities must comply with requirements of 15A NCAC 2H .0138 & .0139.
Construction of wastewater treatment facilities subject to the ATCIATO requirements in the NCG02 permit
at new or existing mining sites requires submission of three (3) sets of plans and specifications signed

is a separable obligation of the permittee, which continues beyond the terms of the Mining
Permit.
The approved plan provides:
Minimum Standards As Provided By G.S. 74-53
1. The final slopes in all excavations in soil, sand, gravel and other unconsolidated
materials shall be at such an angle as to minimize the possibility of slides and be
consistent with the future use of the land.
2- Provisions for safety to persons and to adjoining property must be provided in all
excavations in rock.
3. All overburden and spoil shalt be left in a configuration which is in accordance with
accepted conservation practices and which is suitable for the proposed subsequent use
of the land.
4. No small pools of water shall be allowed to collect or remain on the mined area that
are, likely to become noxious, odious or foul,
The revegetation plan shall conform to accepted and recommended agronomic.and
reforestation practices as established by the North Carolina Agricultural Experiment
Station and the North Carolina forest Service.
6. Permittee shall conduct reclamation activities pursuant to the Reclamation Plan herein
incorporated. These activities shall be conducted according to the time schedule
included in the plan, which shall to the extent feasible provide reclamation
simultaneous with mining operations and in any event, provide reclamation at the
earliest practicable time after completion or termination of mining on any segment of
the permit area and shall be completed within two years after completion or termination
of mining.
RECLAMATION CON ITIONS.
1. Provided further, and subject to the Reclamation schedule, the planned reclamation
shall be to restore the mine excavations to lake areas and to grade and satisfactorily
revegetate the adjacent disturbed'areas as per the approved mine maps and
reclamation plan for this site.
2. The specifications for surface gradient restoration to a surface suitable for the planned
future use are as follows:
A. The lake areas shall be excavated to maintain a minimum water depth of four
feet measured from the normal low water table elevation.
B. All sidesiopes to the fake excavations shall be graded to a minimum of 3
horizontal to 1 vertical above the water line and a minimum of 2 horizontal to 1
vertical below the water line to the bottom.

Page 8
C. All remaining affected areas shall be graded to a 2 horizontal to 1 verticai or
flatter slope.
D. Any settling ponds or sediment basins shall be backflled and stabilized.
E. The processing, stockpile, and other disturbed areas neighboring the mine
excavation shall be leveled and smoothed.
F. Compacted surfaces shall be disced, subsoiled or otherwise prepared before
revegetation.
G. No contaminants shall be permanently disposed of at the mine site. On -site
disposal of waste shall be in accordance with Operating Condition Nos. 11.A.
through D.
H. The affected land shall be graded to prevent the collection of noxious or foul
water.
3. Revegetation Plan.
After site preparation, all disturbed land areas shall be revegetated as specified in the
Vegetation Plan outlined on the mine map, Sheet 3 of 3, last revised January 15, 2002.
Whenever possible, disturbed areas should be vegetated with native warm season
grasses such as switch grass, Indian grass, bluestem and gamma grass.
In addition, the permittee shall consult with a professional wildlife biologist with the N.C.
Wildlife Resources Commission to enhance post -project wildlife habitat at the site.
4. Recla Con Plate:
Reclamation shall be conducted simultaneously with mining to the extent feasible. In any
event, reclamation shall be initiated as soon as feasible after completion or termination of

• Stormwater from vehicle maintenance activities at mining operations;
• Overflow from facilities that recycle process wastewater; and/or
• Mine dewatering (wastewater)
The following activities are specifically excluded from coverage under this General Permit:
• Stormwater discharges associated with peat mining, coal mining, and metal mining;
• Stormwater discharges from mining operations which are intermixed on site with stor IMAR
operations and/or concrete operations; TE
F730
Stormwater discharges associated with oil and gas extraction operations; and

• NCDOT borrow pits are covered under NCS000150 i
The following discharges are covered by NPDES -general permit NCG520000 instea
Point source discharges of stormwater and wastewater from in -stream sand mining operations (i.e., sand
or dipping operations)
For new mining sites that require an authorization to construct (ATC) wastewater treatment facilities: This
NOI is also an APPLICATION FOR an ATC for new wastewater treatment facilities. ATC requests must be
submitted at least 90 days prior to construction'.
For existin_g mining sites that require an Authorization to Operate (ATO) wastewater treatment facilities:
This NOI is also an APPLICATION FOR an ATO for wastewater treatment facilities in place.
Construction, modification, or installation of any new treatment components at an existing site requires an
ATC. (If the site is already covered by NCG020000, the ATC request may be submitted without an NOI).
Some wastewater treatment facilities used to treat or recycle wastewater at mining sites will require an ATC 2LLor
to construction per 15A NCAC 2H .0138. Please see the NCG020000 General Permit for details about which
treatment facilities require an ATC (summarized in Table 1 below). The authorization to construct or continue
to operate will be issued at the same time as the Certificate of Coverage (COC) for the NCG02 permit. Design of
treatment facilities must comply with requirements of 15A NCAC 2H .0138 & .0139,
Construction of wastewater treatment facilities subject to the ATC/ATO requirements in the NCG02 permit
at new or existing mining sites requires submission of three (3) sets of plans and specifications signed

Subject: Recent Stormwater Inspection, NCG070066
Change in permit coverage
Monroe, NC
Dear Mr, Garvey:
As you and I discussed by phone on Friday, March 4, 2011, DWQ's Stormwater Permitting Unit concurs with the
instruction from our Mooresville Regional Office inspector, Mr. Samar Bou-Ghazale, to Hanson to apply for
coverage for your surface water discharges under a different DWQ permit, our General Permit NCG020000. This
change represents a new emphasis in the Implementation of our program for brick manufacturing facilities with
clay pits on the same site.
Beginning in the early 1990's, Hanson's Monroe facility and other brick manufacturers have been provided
discharge authorization under North Carolina's NPDE!�'pfbgrai#ilvia our NPDES Stormwater General Permit,
NCG070000, for stone, clay, and glass manufacturing industrial activities. Per my review of your files in our
office last week, I can report that in January 1996, and partially as a result of our visit to your Monroe facility,
DWQ decided to develop a new General Permit for brick manufacturers with clay pits on the same site.
Unfortunately other priorities in other program areas intervened, and the Stormwater Permitting Unit was never
able to develop the intended new General Permit. This left Hanson and other brick manufacturers covered under
the original General Permit, NCG070000. DWQ subsequently renewed your coverage under NCG070000 three
more times at the end of successive five-year permit terms.
We no longer intend to develop a new industry -wide General Permit for your industry, in part in recognition of the
staff resources required, and the ongoing limitations imposed by competing priorities. We note that across your
industry we have not received widespread water quality complaints from our Regional Office staff as to your
industry in general, nor specifically as to your Monroe facility.
Our perspective on past permitting actions is that Hanson's Monroe facility applied for the General Permit
NCG070000, and that DWQ issued or reissued that permit four times over the last 17 years. Hanson's permit
coverage represented DWQ's permitting strategy at the time. However, DWQ has developed a new emphasis in
our permitting strategy for the brick manufacturing locations where clay pits are located on the same site: As
these facilities have come to our attention we are directing those facilities to re -apply for coverage under our
mining General Permit for NPDES discharges, NCG020000. Several other facilities have already made this
transition. We are conscious of the interruption this may cause on -going businesses and we are implementing this
strategy In as low -impact a manner as possible, namely as I referred to, only as facilities come to our notice.

In our telephone conversation, you indicated that Hanson's Monroe facility would apply for coverage under
NCG020000, as directed by Mr. Bou-Ghazale from our Mooresville Regional Office. Upon receipt and approval of
your application we will concurrently rescind your coverage under your current permit, NCG070000 and your
current Certificate of Coverage NCG070066. You should also expect to receive an inspection report from Mr.
Bou-Ghazale from his recent visit to your site.
I've discussed this change in coverage with the supervisor of the Stormwater Permitting Unit, Bradley Bennett, and
you may contact him or me with any questions.
Sincerely,
Ken Pickle
