Name/Title/Phone/Email of contacts during inspection VV/JAY 5 Mr. Charles Asberry (plant manager) was the contact during the inspection. Purpose To conduct a Full Compliance Evaluation (FCE) for the fiscal year (FY) 2015 of Ready Mixed Concrete - Jacksonville and to determine compliance with applicable Federal d Slate Air -� Regulations and the September 16, 2010, air per t. Safety equipment f `a' tl-t, C� /'a Q T Steel -toed shoes, safety vest, eye protection, hard hat, and hearing protection are required for this inspection. Facility & Process Description This truck mix concrete batch plant produces ready mix concrete. The maximum rated production capacity for this plant is 130 cubic yards per hour. A concrete batch plant stores, conveys, measures, and discharges the ingredients for making concrete (sand, aggregates, cement, water, and flyash) into transit -mix trucks by gravity. The discharge area is equipped with a flexible boot/hood which is partially enclosed. The concrete batch plant operations consists of silo loading, weigh hopper loading, aggregate transfer by conveyors. and mix loading (truck loading activities). Typical production equipment consists of dozers, front end loaders, aggregate bins, conveyors, cement storage silos, flyash storage silo, weigh hopper, and transport trucks equipped with mixers. In order to make concrete, cement and flyash are transferred from silos to the weigh hopper as a conveyor transfers sand and aggregates into the discharge area located below the weigh hopper. The ingredients are then mixed with water to form concrete as the trucks travel to various construction sites. The primary air pollutant associated with concrete batch plants is particulate matter (PM, PM-10. and PM 2.5). Particulate emissions are generated during the pneumatic transfer of material (cement and fly ash).from transport trucks into the storage silo. Vehicle traffic, wind erosion, and the transfer of materials (sand and aggregate) can generate fugitive dust emissions. Fugitive dust emissions can be produced from the transfer of cement and flyash from the silo to the weigh Ready Mix Concrete Co — Jacksonville 6700112 Inspection Type: FCE October 7, 2014 Page 3 of 6 hopper. When the materials to make concrete are discharged into the truck mixerfugitive dust is also generated. The fugitive dust emitted from the discharge of materials into the truck is controlled by the flexible boot/hood and a vacuum. Even with the enclosure, visible emissions may still occur to some degree during periods of moderate to heavy winds. To control the.fugitive dust from wind erosion of the stockpiles (light aggregate and limestone) the facility uses sprinklers and semi -enclosed concrete barriers. The majority of the property and grounds are paved andlor graveled in order to control fugitive dust from vehicle traffic. To prevent dust migration onto public roads the trucks are washed by each operator after they are loaded.„ The dust emissions from the concrete plant are controlled by a central du collection system with 1,433 square feet offiltering area (CD-1) Dust emissions from the 32$ on ground cement silo is controlled by a bag house with 250 square feet of filter area (CD-3F). These bag houses collect the dust from the loading of raw material into the cement and flyash storage silos, weigh hopper, and the truck load out process. CD-1 is a closed loop dust collection system that transfers the captured particulates back into the flyash silo. The dust collection system is equipped with a meter to measure pressure drop across the unit (a magnehelic gauge). Ready Mixed Concrete reports that when readings are between 3.5 and 5.5 that the bag house is operating at peak performance. c Readings greater than 5.5 would indicate that collector airflow is being restricted, and readings less than 3.5 could indicate a problem with the bags or seals around the doors. a a In order to prevent the silos from overfilling each silo is equipped with bindicalors with alarms. the integrity of CD -I is compromised because of overfilling a silo then the enter plant will shutdown. The facility has three cement silos and one flyash silo. ES-2 listed in the permit as a flyash silo is(e now cement instead. Operating hours are between 0600 EDT and 1800 EDT Monday through Friday. <�a vol J Permitting & Regulatory Standards �� 1j�lJ"" The facility was issued an air permit on September 16, 2010.

Mid -Atlantic conducted a site visit in April 2011 to gather information for the preparation of a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan and to construct a schematic drawing of the on -site recycling system. The results of our site visit are summarized below and are based on our field observations and information provided to Mid -Atlantic by the on -site personnel. The site is designed and graded such that process water from the on -site truck washing and aggregate wetting applications is directed into an on -site recycling system and reused in plant operations. The recycling system consists of four recycling pits (sedimentation basins), one 10,000-gallon water underground storage tank (UST), two sump pumps, a jet motor pump, several aboveground and underground water lines, 2-way solenoid valves, underground electrical lines, an electrical control panel, outlet, and a well water and municipal water supply. A schematic diagram of the recycling system is provided as Attachment A. Process wastewater from the plant operations flows into the first of four recycling pits and is gravity fed into each of the remaining recycling pits. A sump pump is positioned at the bottom of Recycling Pit No. 4 at a depth of four feet below grade. The sump pump is connected to an electrical outlet, which is activated based on a water -level float device located within the 10,000-gallon water UST (i.e. when the water level drops to a specific elevation inside the tank, the electrical outlet and its associated sump pump are activated). MID -ATLANTIC A..3S0CIATFS.INC. Engi.,irin. & Eavirunmeneal Suilri­s Process Water Recycling System Ready Mixed Concrete Company — Plant #49 Jacksonville, North Carolina June 2, 2011 Page 2 Two floats are used to monitor the water level within the 10,000-gallon holding tank. When the water level drops to a specific elevation inside the tank, the sump pump is activated and process water is pumped from the recycling pits into the holding tank, as described above. In the event that the recycling pits are dry and the water level inside the holding tank continues to drop, a second float is activated and well water is directed into the holding tank via a series of 2-way solenoid valves. (Note: The system is designed such that well water will only fill the holding tank to a total capacity of approximately 7,000 gallons, leaving the remaining volume for process water and sufficient freeboard). In the event that both the recycling pits and the on -site water -supply well are dry, municipal water is manually supplied to the holding tank via a spigot near the tank access area. The municipal water supply is only used as a last resort. A sump pump is positioned at the bottom of the 10,000-gallon holding tank and is used to supply water from the tank to the truck loading area on an as -needed basis. A jet motor pump is also located near the tank access area and is used to pump water through a series of aboveground water lines to be reused in aggregate wetting applications. If the recycling pits were to overflow, the runoff would flow southwest across the site and enter a designated drop inlet, which drains to an on -site retention pond. In the event of an overflow from the retention pond, the runoff would flow through a series of rip -rap and vegetative buffers prior to discharging off -site into Sandy Run Branch at Outfall 002. A site map showing the layout of the subject site and the location of the recycling system, retention pond, and Outfall 002 is provided as Attachment B. Mid -Atlantic appreciates the opportunity to provide this information regarding the on -site recycling system.

Technically, the results of the inspection should warrant a Notice of Violation. However, due to some attempt at compliance, some proactiveness, and no observation of an immediate threat, it will be considered "marginally" compliant provided that items are addressed in a a timely manner_ Overall, the site looks staple and no clear indication of impacts leaving the site in the vicinity of the creek; but this creek flushes very well based on ditch bank elevation. Facility has been installing concrete blocks to help prevent sediment loss and keep vehicular traffic out of vegetative buffers which is to be commended. In some areas the blocks should probably be moved to flatter areas and off any sloped areas. However, these same blocks restrict effectiveness or use 'of the settling basin if basin relies entirely on overland, sheet flow for collection of potential pollutants_ There are a multitude of issues with the facility's compliance with this permit as detailed to large extent in the comment sections of the report. Independent sampling of stormwater and process wastewater with significantly different benchmark concentrations for discharge is an issue -- sampling of the stream is not allowed to show compliance with the permit. The current settling basin apppears to be a newer one (relocated & perhaps a little larger) versus one on the site in early 2006 based on a comparison of aerial photos. It is our understanding that this facilty changed ownership at some point in 2004. Prior to the basin being moved, the facility's process wastewater treatment needs should have been evalutated by a professional engineer such that the basin was designed with proper surface area, volume, and structure to provide adequate detention plus design a wastewater transmission system to its location. An Authorization -to -Construct (A-to-C) may have been required from Raleigh. A detailed as -built site plan with drainage routes, outfall locations, and an evaulation of wastewater system including settling basin capacity, etc. must be completed ASAP, but prior to permit renewal such that site or design changes can be implemented to meet next permit.

(See information below.) %A Yes ❑ No Please verify whether Qualitative Monitoring must be performed during a "representative storm event" or "measureoble storm event" (requirements vary, depending on the permit). Qualitative monitoring requirements vary. Most permits require qualitative monitoring to be performed during a "representative storm event" or during a "measureable storm event." However, some permits do riot have this requirement. Please refer to these definitions, if applicable. A "representative storm event" is a storm event that measures greater than 0.1 inches of rainfall and that is preceded by at least 72 hours (3 days) in which no storm event measuring greater than 0.1 inches has occurred. A single storm event may contain up to 10 consecutive hours of no precipitation. A "measurable storm event" is a storm event that results in an actual discharge from the permitted site outfall. The previous measurable storm event must have been at least 72 hours prior. The 72-hour storm interval does not apply if the perniittee is able to document that a shorter interval is representative for local storm events during the sampling period, and the permittee obtains approval from the local DWQ Regional Office.

Technically, the results of the inspection should warrant a Notice of Violation. However, due to some attempt at compliance, some proactiveness, and no observation of an immediate threat, it will be considered "marginally" compliant provided that items are addressed in a a timely manner. Overall, the site looks staple and no clear indication of impacts leaving the site in the vicinity of the creek; but this creek flushes very well based on ditch bank elevation. Facility has been installing concrete blocks to help prevent sediment loss and keep vehicular traffic out of vegetative buffers which is to be commended. In some areas the blocks should probably be moved to flatter areas and off any sloped areas. However, these same blocks restrict effectiveness or use of the settling basin if basin relies entirely on overland, sheet flow for collection of potential pollutants_ There are a multitude of issues with the facility's compliance with this permit as detailed to large extent in the comment sections of the report. Independent sampling of stormwater and process wastewater with significantly different benchmark concentrations for discharge is an issue -- sampling of the stream is not allowed to show compliance with the permit. The current settling basin apppears to be a newer one (relocated R perhaps a little larger) versus one on the site in early 2006 based on a comparison of aerial photos. It is our understanding that this facilty changed ownership at some point in 2004. Prior to the basin being moved, the facility's process wastewater treatment needs should have been evalutated by a professional engineer such that the basin was designed with proper surface area, volume, and structure to provide adequate detention plus design a wastewater transmission system to its location. An Authorization -to -Construct (A-to-C) may have been required from Raleigh. A detailed as -built site plan with drainage routes, outfall locations, and an evaulation of wastewater system including settling basin capacity, etc. must be completed ASAP, but prior to permit renewal such that site or design changes can be implemented to meet next permit.

Yes No NA NE ❑ IN ❑ ❑ ❑❑■❑ Comment: Facility is sampling er outdated plan and old permit, thus missing the currentpermit's annual minimum requirement versus previous requirement. Facility is actually sampling in the creek as it leaves the site rather than at oufall locations and recently started sampling the creek as it enters the site for comparison. While creek monitoring can be done for informational purposes. it does not meet the requirement to monitor the wastewater component/outfall and all stormwater outfalls.

Current Dermit exDires on 6-30-2011 and renewal must be requested from Raleigh. It is expected that some significant changes will be included and the Plan should be updated again once it is issued & becomes effective. Some site changes may be needed once new permit is issued, thus site plan would need to updated at that time.

Did not have a scaled site map/drawing that shows drainage areas. collection points & piping. and outfalls with plan during inspection. but had a rough site sketch. Drawing was requested via e-mail after inspection, but it is not adequate as it does not show the required items. Also, most concrete facilities have two distinct waste streams with different outfalls that must be monitored. For this facility, it has two distinct sites on each side of the creek and saw no indication how process_ wastewater from permitted areas is routed to the settling basin. The recycled concrete crushing area could be considered to generate a process wastewater. Page: 4
