toward Fletcher. The facility is located on the right side of the road. Take a right before the facility over the
railroad tracks and take the first left into the facility.
2.) Facility Overview:
• Safety: safety shoes and glasses. No safety concerns.
Discussion: The purpose of this site visit was to conduct a routine air quality inspection
of the Southern Concrete Materials, Inc. — Fletcher facility.
On March 24, 2015, I (Bob Graves) traveled to the facility to observe the loading of the
cement silo (ES-1) from a tanker. I met Mr. Dennis Hale, Plant Manager, and Mr. John
Covington, Plant Operator. Mr. Covington helped in identifying the equipment. Weather
conditions at the time inspection were as follows: approximately 62 degrees with clear
skies and calm winds. I observed the tanker loading the (ES-1) cement silo for
approximately 30 minutes. I did not observe any VE's during the loading of the silo from
a rail car of cement.
Note: all fly -ash is delivered by tanker trucks and cement by railcars.
Facility Contacts: no changes at this time.
• Facility Description: The facility is permitted to operate one cement storage silo, one flyash storage
silo, one split cement/flyash silo, and one cement flyash weigh hopper and one truck load out and all
are vented to one bagfilter system (1733 square feet of filter area).

2D .0540 - Particulates from Fugitive Dust Emission Sources
The regulation addresses all facilities with activities such as: unloading and loading areas,
process areas, stockpiles, stock pile working, plant parking lots, and plant roads
(including access roads and haul roads). The regulation requires a fugitive process dust
plan and abatement measures if substantive complaints are verified. During this
inspection, no fugitive dust concerns were observed. Compliance is indicated.
Record Keeping and Reporting Requirements Review:
Record Keeping: The facility is keeping a copy of their current air permit on site. I
conducted a records review on the logbook for the inspection and maintenance (I&M) of
the bagfilters. The logbook is sectioned by month and year. The logbook was found to
be adequate and up to date. Internal inspections are usually conducted weekly. The last
internal inspection documented for all bagfilters was documented on 3/23/2015.
Compliance is indicated.

2. Application Chronology
October 28, 2013: The application for renewal and the 2012 emissions inventory were received by this office and
appeared complete.
3. Regulatory Review
The Comoanv must comply with the followine EMC Regulations for this application:
15A NCAC 2D .0515, "Particulates from Miscellaneous Industrial Processes";
15A NCAC 2D .0521, "Control of Visible Emissions";
15A NCAC 2D .0540, "Particulates from Fugitive Dust Emission Sources"; and
15A NCAC 2D .061 1, '`Monitoring Emissions from Other Sources".
4. Compliance Determination
2D .0515 - Particulates from Miscellaneous Industrial Processes
The allowable particulate emission rate, per 2D .0515, is a function of process weight rate based on the following
equations:
E = 4.1 x P 067 For process weight rates up to 30 tons per hour
E = 55.0 x (P) 0 i - 40 For process rates greater than 30 tons per hour
where P = process rate (tons/hr)
E = allowable emission rate (lbs/hr).
The AP-42, Table 11.12-2, June 2006 Edition, lists the following emission factors for various processes at concrete
batch plants.

The truck load -out (ID No. ES-5) and the silos (ID Nos. ES-1, ES-2, and ES-4) are controlled by the bagfilter (ID
No. CD -IA). There is no data for controlled PM emissions from the weigh hopper (ID No. ES-3). Controlled PM
emissions from the truck loading are actual worst case and are used to, establish compliance with 2D .0515.
The facility has a maximum permitted process rate of 75 cubic yards per hour (listed in permit description). A cubic
yard of concrete weighs 4024 pounds or 2.01 tons (including the water) based on the attached DAQ Spreadsheet for
Concrete Batch Plants. The facility therefore has a maximum process rate of 150.75 tons per hour. Based on the 2D
.0515 equation, allowable emissions are:
E = 55.0 x (150.75) 01 � - 40 = 55.49 pounds per hour

Page 3 of 4
Based on the AP-42 emission factor, actual worst case controlled emissions are:
0.098 lb/ton * 150.75 tons per hour = 14.77 pounds per hour
Compliance with 2D .0515 is indicated with bagfilter control of the truck load -out based on these calculations.
2D .0521 - Control of Visible Emissions
Equipment manufactured before July 1, 1971 is subject to a 40% opacity limit, while equipment manufactured after
July 1, 1971 is subject to a 20% opacity limit. The permitted equipment at the facility was manufactured after July
1, 1971, and is subject to a 20% opacity limit. Compliance with the 20% opacity limit of 2D .0521 is indicated in
inspection reports for the past five years and continued compliance is expected.
2D .0540 - Particulates from Fugitive Dust Emission Sources
This regulation addresses all facilities with activities such as: unloading and loading areas, process areas, stockpiles,
stock pile working, plant parking lots, and plant roads (including access roads and haul roads). The regulation
requires a fugitive process dust plan and abatement measures if substantive complaints are verified. A review of the
facility's files indicates that there have been no fugitive dust complaints from citizens regarding this operation in the
past five years. Continued compliance with 2D .0540 is expected.
2D .0611 - Monitoring Emissions from Other Sources
This regulation requires facilities to maintain records of operational information and maintenance on the control
equipment. The facility has a requirement to perform annual maintenance inspections and to document all
maintenance activities of the bagfilter (ID No. CD -IA). Compliance with this regulation is indicated in inspection
reports for the past five years and continued compliance is expected.

The facility is not subject to the requirements of NSPS, NESHAPS, PSD, Toxics or 112(r). Based on this facility's
potential emissions shown below, this facility is not a PSD major source. A toxics review has not been triggered
because there have been no modifications affecting increases in potential emissions.
6. Facility Compliance Status
This facility was last inspected on 12/06/2013 by Mr. Bob Graves of this Office and the facility appeared to be in
compliance with the applicable air quality regulations at the time of the inspection. There have been no documented
violations by this facility in the past five years.
Facility Emissions Review
Based on the potential emissions shown below, this facility is classified as a small facility.

Subject: Authorization to Construct
Southern Concrete - Fletcher plant
NCG140160
Henderson County
Dear Mr. Lamm:
The Division of Water Quality (DWQ) received your request to construct stormwater and
wastewater controls at the subject facility on September 7, 2007. In accordance with your
request, you are authorized to construct the approved control facilities, effective today. I
apologize for the lengthy delay on my desk. I understand from your follow-up note received
October 24, 2007, that construction was scheduled to begin November 5, 2007, and I expect that
some portion of the proposed facility has already been constructed.
Authorization is hereby granted for the construction and installation of: a three -bay recycle
system, an automated pH correction unit, a sump pump and recycle line back to the concrete mix
plant, and other related incidental features, all in the configuration and location shown on the
approved plan and details, and in accordance with the design narrative and calculations
submitted.
Typically we would require that you notify DWQ's Asheville Regional Office supervisor, telephone
number [phone], at least 48 hours in advance of operation of the finished facilities so that
regional office staff can conduct an in -place inspection prior to any wastewater discharge. Such
notification to the regional supervisor would be made during the normal office hours from 8:00
a.m. until 5:00 p.m. on Monday through Friday, excluding state holidays. In this instance,
because of the delay on my desk, if the facilities have already been completed, please contact the
regional office for a post -construction inspection this month.
Similarly, upon completion of construction and prior to operation of the authorized controls, you
must submit a certification from a professional engineer certifying that the controls have been
constructed and installed in accordance with the NPDES permit requirements in NCG140000, the
Certificate of Coverage NCG140160, this Authorization to Construct, and the approved site plan,
details, and design narrative. Please mail the engineer's certification to DWQ Stormwater
Permitting Unit, 1617 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617. Our
Authorization to Construct is subject to revocation unless the control facilities are constructed in
accordance with the approved site plan, details, calculations, and narrative.
You must maintain on file a copy of the approved site plan, details, and design narrative for the
life of the facility.

In the event that the controls fail to perform satisfactorily, including the creation of nuisance
conditions, you must take immediate corrective action, including those actions as may be required
by this Division, such as the construction of additional or replacement controls.
Failure to abide by the requirements contained in this Authorization to Construct may subject the
Permittee to an enforcement action by DWQ, in accordance with North Carolina General Statute
143-215.6A to 143-215,6C.
This Authorization to Construct does not affect the legal requirements to obtain other permits or
authorizations that may be required by DWQ, or other federal, state, or local government
agencies.

Ken,
Sorry about the check mix-up, I was reading the sheet that came from DWQ
that had the fee increases for our plants and it mentioned fees were needed
for permit modifications, etc. At any rate I had already mailed the other
$20 check on Friday so if you don't mind please send both back to my

Jeff,
Thanks`for the heads up. I've received the permit application package
this morning for the Fletcher Plant (it appears to have been delivered
last Friday.) Please don't send me an additional $20. Since this is an
Authorization to Construct application for an already permitted
facility, no fee is required. Jeff, I'll either return the check to
you, or if ypu like, I'll destroy the $80 check here. Please provide
instructions.
I'll begin review of your Fletcher package today.
I've also received on Friday a preliminary package from Wanda Fuller at
Burton Engineering for the Texland Blvd. plant in Charlotte. Since she
has asked for i preliminary review (instead of a final application
submittal), I'll be able to finish that today. I'll provide comments to
her by email today. I'll copy you.

Dear Mr. Combest:
On this date I conducted a stormwater inspection of Southern Concrete Material's Fletcher Plant. The
inspection was conducted for purposes of determining compliance with the terms and conditions of
Certificate of Coverage Number NCG140160. Runoff from most areas of the plant where concrete
dust could come into contact with that storm water is diverted to an earthen pond which then releases
the runoff less some sediment. It is already planed to remove the accumulated sediment in the near
future.
As you allocate moneys for stormwater improvement projects within the Southern Concrete Materials
organization I hope you will keep the Fletcher Plant in mind. I would very much like to see a multi -cell
settling basin with reuse pumps at that location. To complete the project guttering would have to be
installed to divert all stormwater to the basin.
I would like to mention that your Mills River and Sheppard Street plants have done an excellent job of
stormwater management. Should you ever wish to discuss these matters, please do not hesitate to
call me at 1-828-296-4659.

Dear Mr. Lamm.
Attached is the report resulting .from my April 1.8, 2002 inspection of
the storm water pollution prevention program at Southern Concrete
Materials' Fletcher ready mix plant. ' We inspected current facilities
utilized for storm water pollution prevention, reviewed documents and
discussed future plans for this location.
The earthen basin presently receiving site drainage is doing an
adequate job of cleaning up storm water before leaving the site. SCM
needs to move on to the next level now by installing a multicell concrete
settling basin with the capability to reuse the settled wash/storm water.
I like the fact that returned concrete can be taken to the nearby
precast plant thereby reducing the amount of concrete which is treated as
a waste.
You described your inclination to roof the fueling area for purposes
of reducing the amount of accumulated rainwater which must be managed.
Your Rev -Con, Purple-T and Cab Soap are standing out in the yard all by
their lonesome without shelter or protection from vehicular impact. While
dealing with the fueling area I suggest you consider getting these liquids

under roof and behind a berm which would contain any spillage which might
occur as well as offer protection from vehicular impact.
With the above -discussed improvements you will have a first class
operation from my perspective. I am sending you as an -attachment a clean
copy of our Industrial Storm Water Inspection Form for your use as
guidance as to what Division of Water Quality inspectors will be looking
for when inspecting other SCM facilities.
The things that you and I have discussed when walking around SCM's
Mills River, Hendersonville and Fletcher plants are the same things I
would like to see at any ready mix plant where appropriate. As money
becomes available I would like to see all SCM plants brought up to the
same high standard in terms of- storm water pollution. prevention.
Likewise, as you make storm water related improvements or encounter storm
water problems at any SCM plant located in Henderson or Buncombe Counties
would you please let me know so that your files may be kept current.
Please do not hesitate to call me at 828-251-6208 should you need to
discuss any of these matters in greater detail.

PART I INTRODUCTION
SECTION A: GENERAL PERMIT COVERAGE
All persons desiring to have facilities covered by this General Permit must register with the Division
of Water Quality (DWQ) by the filing of a Notice of Intent (NOI) and applicable fees. The NOI shall be
submitted and a certificate of coverage issued prior to any point source discharge of stormwater
associated with industrial activity to the surface waters of the state.
Any owner or operator not wishing to be covered or limited by this General Permit may snake
application for an individual NPDES permit in accordance with NPDES procedures in 15A NCAC 2H
.0100, stating the reasons supporting the request. Any application for an individual permit should
be made at least 180 days prior to commencement of discharge.
This General Permit does not cover activities or discharges covered by an individual NPDES permit
until the individual permit has expired or has been revoked. Any person conducting an activity
covered by an individual permit but which could be covered by this General Permit may request
that the individual permit be revoked and coverage under this General Permit be provided.
If industrial materials and activities are not exposed to precipitation or runoff as described in 40
CFR §122.26(g), the facility may qualify for a No Exposure Exclusion from NPDES stormwater
discharge permit requirements. Any owner or operator wishing to obtain a No Exposure Exclusion
must submit a No Exposure Certification Notice of Intent (NOI) form to the Division; must receive
approval by the Division; must maintain no exposure conditions unless authorized to discharge
under a valid NPDES stormwater permit; and must recertify the No Exposure Exclusion annually.
Any facility may apply for new or continued coverage under this permit until a Total Maximum
Daily Load (TMDL) for pollutants for stormwater is established. A TMDL sets a pollutant -loading
limit that affects a watershed, or portion of a watershed, draining to a specific impaired water. For
discharges to watersheds affected by a TMDL, coverage under this permit may depend on the
facility demonstrating it does not have reasonable potential to violate applicable water
quality standards for those pollutants as a result of discharges. If DWQ determines that
discharges have reasonable potential to cause water quality standard violations, the facility shall
apply for an individual permit 180 days prior to the expiration date of this General Permit. Once
that individual permit is effective, the facility will no longer have coverage under this General
Permit. Note that the permittee must identify impaired waters (scheduled for TMDL development)
and waters already subject to a TM DL in the Site Overview, as outlined in the Stormwater Pollution
Prevention Plan, Part 11, Section A. A list of approved TMDLs for the state of North Carolina can be
found at httpl/portal.ncdenr.orglweblwglps/mtultmdl.
Part I Page 1 of 2

Permit No. NCG210000
SECTION B: PERMITTED ACTIVITIES
Until this permit expires or is modified or revoked, the permittee is authorized to discharge
stormwater to the surface waters of North Carolina, or separate storm sewer system, which has
been treated and managed in accordance with the terms and conditions of this General Permit.
Any other point source discharge to surface waters of the state is prohibited unless it is an
allowable non-stormwater discharge or is covered by another permit, authorization, or approval.
The discharges allowed by this General Permit shall not cause or contribute to violations of
Water Quality Standards. This General Permit does not authorize discharges which have been
determined by the Division of Water Quality to be wastewater discharges.
This permit does not relieve the permittee from responsibility for compliance with any other
applicable federal, state, or local law, rule, standard, ordinance, order, judgment, or decree.

Permit No. NCG210000
PART II MONITORING, CONTROLS, AND LIMITATIONS FOR PERMITTED
DISCHARGES
SECTION A: STORMWATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN
The permittee shall develop and implement a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP). The
SPPP shall be maintained on site unless exempted from this requirement by the Division. The SPPP
is public information in accordance with Part III, Standard Conditions, Section E, paragraph 3 of this
permit. The SPPP shall include, at a minimum, the following items:
1. Site Overview. The Site Overview shall provide a description of the physical facility and the
potential pollutant sources that may be expected to contribute to contamination of stormwater
discharges. The Site Overview shall contain the following:
(a) A general location map (USGS quadrangle map or appropriately drafted equivalent map),
showing the facility's location in relation to transportation routes and surface waters; the
name of the receiving waters to which the stormwater outfalls discharge, or if the discharge
is to a municipal separate storm sewer system, the name of the municipality and the
ultimate receiving waters; and accurate latitude and longitude of the points of stormwater
discharge associated with industrial activity. The general location map (or alternatively the
site map) shall identify whether any receiving waters are impaired (on the state's 303(d)
list of impaired waters) or if the site is located in a watershed for which a TMDL has been
established, and what the parameters of concern are.
(b) A narrative description of storage practices, loading and unloading activities, outdoor
process areas, dust or particulate generating or control processes, and waste disposal
practices. A narrative description of the potential pollutants that could be expected to be
present in the stormwater discharge from each outfall.
(c) A site map drawn at a scale sufficient to clearly depict: the site property boundary; the
stormwater discharge outfalls; all on -site and adjacent surface waters and wetlands;
industrial activity areas (including storage of materials, disposal areas, process areas,
loading and unloading areas, and haul roads); site topography and finished grade; all
drainage features and structures; drainage area boundaries and total contributing area for
each outfall; direction of flow in each drainage area; industrial activities occurring in each
drainage area; buildings; stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs); and impervious
surfaces. The site map must indicate the percentage of each drainage area that is
impervious, and the site map must include a graphic scale indication and north arrow.
(d) A list of significant spills or leaks of pollutants during the previous three (3) years and
any corrective actions taken to mitigate spill impacts.
(e) Certification that the stormwater outfalls have been evaluated for the presence of non-
stormwater discharges. The permittee shall re -certify annually that the stormwater
outfalls have been evaluated for the presence of non-stormwater discharges. The
certification statement will be signed in accordance with the requirements found in Part I11,
Standard Conditions, Section B, Paragraph S.
Part II Page l of 10

Permit No. NCG210000
2. Stormwater Management Strategy. The Stormwater Management Strategy shall contain a
narrative description of the materials management practices employed which control or
minimize the stormwater exposure of significant materials, including structural and
nonstructural measures. The Stormwater Management Strategy, at a minimum, shall
incorporate the following:
(a) Feasibility Study. A review of the technical and economic feasibility of changing the
methods of operations and/or storage practices to eliminate or reduce exposure of
materials and processes to rainfall and run-on flows. Wherever practical, the permittee
shall prevent exposure of all storage areas, material handling operations, and manufacturing
or fueling operations. In areas where elimination of exposure is not practical, this review
shall document the feasibility of diverting the stormwater run-on away from areas of
potential contamination.
(b) Secondary Containment Requirements and Records. Secondary containment is required
for: bulk storage of liquid materials including petroleum products; storage in any amount of
Section 313 of Title [II of the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA) water
priority chemicals; and storage in any amount of hazardous substances, in order to prevent
leaks and spills from contaminating stormwater runoff. A table or summary of all such
tanks and stored materials and their associated secondary containment areas shall be
maintained. If the secondary containment devices are connected to Stormwater conveyance
systems, the connection shall be controlled by manually activated valves or other similar
devices, which shall be secured closed with a locking mechanism. Any stormwater that
accumulates in the containment area shall be at a minimum visually observed for color,
foam, outfall staining, visible sheens and dry weather flow, prior to release of the
accumulated stormwater. Accumulated stormwater shall be released if found to be
uncontaminated by any material. Records documenting the individual making the
observation, the description of the accumulated stormwater, and the date and time of the
release shall be kept for a period of five (5) years. For facilities subject to a federal oil Spill
Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure Plan (SPCC), any portion of the SPCC plan fully
compliant with the requirements of this permit may be used to demonstrate compliance
with this permit.
(c) BMP Summary. A listing of site structural and non-structural Best Management Practices
(BMPs) shall be provided. The installation and implementation of BMPs shall be based on
the assessment of the potential for sources to contribute significant quantities of pollutants
to stormwater discharges and on data collected through monitoring of stormwater
discharges. The BMP Summary shall include a written record of the specific rationale for
installation and implementation of the selected site BMPs. The BMP Summary shall be
reviewed and updated annually.
3. Spill Prevention and Response Procedures. The Spill Prevention and Response Procedures
(SPRP) shall incorporate an assessment of potential pollutant sources based on a materials
inventory of the facility. Facility personnel responsible for implementing the SPRP shall be
identified in a written list incorporated into the SPRP and signed and dated by each individual
acknowledging their responsibilities for the procedures. A responsible person shall be on -site
at all times during facility operations that have increased potential to contaminate stormwater
runoff through spills or exposure of materials associated with the facility operations. The SPRP
must be site stormwater specific. Therefore, an oil Spill Prevention Control and
Countermeasure plan (SPCC) may be a component of the SPRP, but may not be sufficient to
completely address the stormwater aspects of the SPRP. The common elements of the SPCC
with the SPRP may be incorporated by reference into the SPRP.
Part II Page 2 of 10

Permit No. NCG210000
4. Preventative Maintenance and Good Housekeeping Program. A preventative maintenance
and good housekeeping program shall be developed and implemented. The program shall
address all stormwater control systems (if applicable), stormwater discharge outfalls, all on -site
and adjacent surface waters and wetlands, industrial activity areas (including material storage
areas, material handling areas, disposal areas, process areas, loading and unloading areas, and
haul roads), all drainage features and structures, and existing structural BMPs. The program
shall establish schedules of inspections, maintenance, and housekeeping activities of
stormwater control systems, as well as facility equipment, facility areas, and facility systems
that present a potential for stormwater exposure or stormwater pollution where not already
addressed tinder another element of the SPPP. Inspection of material handling areas and
regular cleaning schedules of these areas shall be incorporated into the program. Timely
compliance with the established schedules for inspections, maintenance, and housekeeping
shall be recorded and maintained in the SPPP.
5. Facility Inspections. Inspections of the facility and all stormwater systems shall occur as part
of the Preventative Maintenance and Good Housekeeping Program at a minimum on a semi-
annual schedule, once during the first half of the year (January to June), and once during the
second half (July to December), with at least 60 days separating inspection dates (unless
performed more frequently than semi-annually). These facility inspections are different from,
and in addition to, the stormwater discharge characteristic monitoring at the outfalls required
in Part It B, C, and D of this permit.
6. Employee Training. Training programs shall be developed and training provided at a
minimum on an annual basis for facility personnel with responsibilities for: spill response and
cleanup, preventative maintenance activities, and for any of the facility's operations that have
the potential to contaminate stormwater runoff. The annual training shall be documented by
the signature and printed or typed name of each employee trained.
Responsible Party. The SPPP shall identify a specific position or positions responsible for the
overall coordination, development, implementation, and revision of the SPPP. Responsibilities
for all components of the SPPP shall be documented and position assignments provided.
SPPP Amendment and Annual Update. All aspects of the SPPP shall be reviewed on an annual
basis. The permittee shall amend the SPPP whenever there is a change in design, construction,
operation, site drainage, maintenance, or configuration of the physical features which may have
a significant effect on the potential for the discharge of pollutants to surface waters. The annual
update shall include at a minimum:
(a) an updated list ofsignificant spills or leaks of pollutants for the previous three (3)
years, or the notation that no spills have occurred (element of the Site Overview);
(b) a written re -certification that the stormwater outfalls have been evaluated for the
presence of non-stormwater discharges (element of the Site Overview);
(c) a documented re-evaluation of the effectiveness of the on -site stormwater BMPs (RMP
Summary element of the Stormwater Management Strategy).
(d) a review and comparison of sample analytical data to benchmark values (if applicable)
over the past year, including a discussion about Tiered Response status. The
permittee shall use the Division's Annual Summary Data Monitoring Report (DMR)
form, available from the Stormwater Permitting Unit's website (See 'Monitoring
Forms' here: http:Ziportal.ncdenr.org/web/Ir/npdes-stormwater).
Part II Page 3 of 10

Permit No. NCG210000
The Director may notify the permittee when the SPPP does not meet one or more of the
minimum requirements of the permit. Within 30 days of such notice, the permittee shall submit
a time schedule to the Director for modifying the SPPP to meet minimum requirements. The
permittee shall provide certification in writing (in accordance with Part III, Standard
Conditions, Section B, Paragraph 5) to the Director that the changes have been made.
9. SPPP Implementation. The permittee shall implement the Stormwater Pollution Prevention
Plan and all appropriate BMPs consistent with the provisions of this permit, in order to control
contaminants entering surface waters via stormwater. Implementation of the SPPP shall
include documentation of all monitoring, measurements, inspections, maintenance activities,
and training provided to employees, including the log of the sampling data and of actions taken
to implement BMPs associated with the industrial activities, including vehicle maintenance
activities. Such documentation shall be kept on -site for a period of five (5) years and made
available to the Director or the Director's authorized representative immediately upon request.
SECTION B: ANALYTICAL MONITORING REQUIREMENTS
A facility that retains exposed accumulations (either exposed to incident precipitation or exposed
to stormwater run on) of sawdust, wood chips, bark, mulch, or other similarly sized material on site
for more than seven (7) days is required to monitor and report all the site stormwater discharges
for the parameters in Table 1.
The permittee may petition the DWQ Regional Office Surface Water Protection Supervisor to be excused from
the required monitoring:
a) upon a DWQ Compliance Evaluation Inspection, and;
b) on the basis that DWQ concludes that taken as a whole, site -wide conditions support the
assessment of very limited risk of stormwater pollution from the site.
c) Among any other factors deemed relevant in his or her own considerations, the Regional Office
Supervisor shall consider whether the amount of accumulated exposed materials may be deemed
de minimis with respect to the potential to generate stormwater runoff pollutants. Given that all site
conditions may be relevant to the determination of what constitutes a de minimis amount, such
determinations shall be made on a `case -by -case basis', and shall not be assumed to be generally, or
specifically, transferrable to any other permitted site, regardless of superficial similarities.
d) The Regional Office Supervisor will communicate any such determination in writing, and shall state
any qualifying conditions for the permittee's continuing release from monitoring. DWQ's release
letter may remain in effect through subsequent reissued versions of this permit, unless the release
letter provides for other conditions or duration.
e) If released from monitoring, the permittee must still continue to submit semi-annual Discharge
Monitoring Reports, with the notation: "Released from Monitoring by DWQ Regional Office."
If at any time there are changes to DWQ's initial site assessment, or to the initial site operating
circumstances, the permittee must immediately begin analytical monitoring and reporting in accordance
with Tables 1 and 2, and must immediately inform the DWQ Regional Office that analytical monitoring has
been instituted.

during a measureable storm event, until either another permit is issued for this facility or until this permit is
revoked or rescinded. See Table 2 for schedule of monitoring periods through the end of this permitting cycle. If
the facility is monitoring monthly because of Tier Two or Three response actions under the previous General
Permit, the facility should continue a monthly monitoring and reporting schedule.
z Grab samples shall be collected within the first 30 minutes of discharge.
3 Sample Location: Samples shall be collected at each stormwater discharge outfall (SDO) unless representative
outfall status (ROS) has been granted. A copy of the DWQ letter granting ROS shall be kept on site.
4 For each sampled measureable storm event, the total precipitation must be recorded. An on -site rain gauge
reading must be recorded. Where isolated sites are unmanned for extended periods of time, a local rain gauge
reading may be substituted for an on -site reading.
All analytical monitoring shall be performed during a measureable storm event at each
stormwater discharge outfall (SDO).
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 permittee 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. See Definitions.
A minimum of 50 days must separate Period 1 and Period 2 sample dates unless monthly
monitoring has been instituted under other requirements of this permit.
The permittee shall complete the analytical samplings in accordance with the schedule specified in
Table 2, unless adverse weather conditions prevent sample collection (see Adverse Weather in
Definitions). Inability to sample because of adverse weather conditions must be documented in the
SPPP and recorded on the DMR. Sampling is not required outside of the facility's normal operating
hours.
Failure to monitor and report semi-annually per permit terms may result in the Division requiring
monthly monitoring and reporting for all parameters for a specified time period. "No discharge"
from an outfall or inability to collect a sample because of adverse weather conditions during a
monitoring period, for example, does not constitute failure to monitor, as long as it is properly
reported.

1 Maintain semi-annual monitoring and reporting during permit renewal process unless other
provisions of this permit prompt monthly sampling.
2 if no discharge occurs during the sampling period, the permittee must submit a monitoring report
indicating "No Flow" or "No Discharge" within 30 days of the end of the sampling period.
The permittee must report the results from each sample taken within the monitoring period (See Part
III E). However, for purposes of benchmark comparison and Tiered response actions, the permittee
shall use the analytical results from the first sample with valid results within the monitoring period.
The permittee shall compare monitoring results to the benchmark values in Table 3. The benchmark
values in Table 3 are not permit limits, but should be used as guidelines for implementation of the
permittee's SPPP. Exceedances of benchmark values require the permittee to increase monitoring and
reporting, increase management actions, increase record keeping, and/or install stormwater Best
Management Practices (BMPs) in a tiered program. See descriptions of Tier One, Tier Two, and Tier
Three response actions below. In the event that the Division releases the permittee from continued
monthly monitoring and reporting under Tier Two or Tier Three, DWQ's release letter may remain in
effect through subsequent reissuance of this permit, unless the release letter provides for other
conditions or duration.

Tier One
If: The first valid sampling results are above a benchmark value for any parameter at any outfall;
Then: The permittee shall:
1. Conduct a stormwater management inspection of the facility within two weeks of receiving
sampling results.
2. Identify and evaluate possible causes of the benchmark value exceedence.
3. Identify potential and select the specific: source controls, operational controls, or physical
improvements to reduce concentrations of the parameters of concern.
4. Implement the selected actions within two months of the inspection.
S. Record each instance of a Tier One response in the SPPP. Include the date and value of the benchmark
exceedence, the inspection date, the personnel conducting the inspection, the selected actions, and the
date the selected actions were implemented.
6. Note: Benchmark exceedances for a different parameter separately trigger the several tiered response
requirements.
Tier Two
If: The first valid sampling results from two consecutive monitoring periods are above the benchmark values
for any specific parameter at a specific discharge outfall;
Then: The permittee shall:
1. Repeat all the required actions outlined above in Tier One.
2. Immediately institute monthly monitoring and reporting for all parameters at every outfall where a
sampling result exceeded the benchmark value for two consecutive samples. Monthly [analytical and
qualitative] monitoring and reporting shall continue until three consecutive sample results are below
the benchmark values.
3. If no discharge occurs during the sampling period, the permittee is required to submit a monthly
monitoring report indicating "No Flow" to comply with reporting requirements.
4. Alternatively, in lieu of steps 2 and 3, the permittee may, after two consecutive exceedances, exercise
the option of contacting the DWQ Regional Office Supervisor as provided below in Tier Three. The
Regional Office Supervisor may direct the response actions on the part of the permittee as provided in
Tier Three, including reduced or additional sampling parameters or frequency.
5. Maintain a record of the Tier Two response in the SPPP.
6. Continue Tier Two response obligations throughout the permit COC renewal process.
Tier Three
If the valid sampling results required for the permit monitoring periods exceed the benchmark value for
any specific parameter at any specific outfall on four occasions, the permittee shall notify the DWQ
Regional Office Supervisor in writing within 30 days of receipt of the fourth analytical results. DWQ
may but is not limited to:
• require the permittee to revise, increase, or decrease the monitoring and reporting frequency for
some or all parameters required herein, including requiring sampling of additional or substitute
parameters;
• rescind coverage Linder the General Permit, and require that the permittee apply for an
individual stormwater discharge permit;
• require the permittee to install structural stormwater controls;
• require the permittee to implement other stormwater control measures;
• require the permittee to perform upstream and downstream monitoring to characterize impacts
on receiving waters;
• require the permittee implement site modifications to qualify for a No Exposure Exclusion; or
• require the permittee to continue Tier Three obligations through the permit COC renewal process,
and possibly into the next permit cycle.

Permit No. NCG210000
SECTION C: QUALITATIVE MONITORING REQUIREMENTS
All facilities covered by this permit must perform Qualitative Monitoring. The purpose of
qualitative monitoring is to evaluate the effectiveness of the SPPP and to assess new sources of
stormwater pollution. Qualitative monitoring of stormwater outfalls must be performed during a
measurable storm event.
Qualitative monitoring requires a visual inspection of each stormwater outfall associated with
industrial activity regardless of representative outfall status. Qualitative monitoring shall be
performed semi-annually as specified in Table 4, and during required analytical monitoring events if
applicable (unless the permittee is required to perform further qualitative sampling per the
Qualitative Monitoring Response below). Inability to sample because of adverse weather
conditions must be documented in the SPPP and recorded on the DMR (see Adverse Weather in
Definitions). Only SDOs discharging stormwater associated with industrial activity must be
monitored (See Definitions).
In the event an atypical condition is noted at a stormwater discharge outfall, the permittee shall
document the suspected cause of the condition and any actions taken in response to the discovery.
This documentation will be maintained with the SPPP.

(00) associated with industrial activity, regardless of representative outfall status (ROS).
A minimum of 60 days must separate monitoring dates, unless additional sampling has been
instituted as part of other analytical monitoring requirements in this permit.
If the permittee's qualitative monitoring indicates that existing stormwater BMPs are ineffective, or that
significant stormwater contamination is present, the permittee shall investigate potential causes, evaluate
the feasibility of corrective actions, and implement those corrective actions within 60 days, per the
Part 11 Page 8 of 10

Permit No. NCG210000
Qualitative Monitoring Response, below. A written record of the permittee's investigation, evaluation,
and response actions shall be kept in the SPPP.
Qualitative Monitoring Response
Qualitative monitoring is for the purposes of evaluating SPPP effectiveness, assessing new sources of
stormwater pollution, and prompting the permittee's response to pollution. If the permittee
repeatedly fails to respond effectively to correct problems identified by qualitative monitoring, or if
the discharge causes or contributes to a water quality standard violation, DWQ may but is not
limited to:
• require that the permittee revise, increase, or decrease monitoring frequency for some or
all parameters (analytical or qualitative);
• require the permittee to install structural stormwater controls;
• require the permittee to implement other stormwater control measures;
• require the permittee to perform upstream and downstream monitoring to characterize
impacts on receiving waters; or
• require the permittee implement site modifications to qualify for a No Exposure Exclusion.
SECTION D: ON -SITE VEHICLE MAINTENANCE MONITORING REQUIREMENTS
Facilities that have any vehicle maintenance activity occurring on -site which uses more than 55
gallons of new motor oil and hydraulic oil per month, combined, when averaged over the
calendar year shall perform analytical monitoring as specified below in Table 5. All analytical
monitoring shall be performed during a measureable storm event at all stormwater discharge
outfalls (SDOs) that discharge stormwater runoff frorn vehicle maintenance areas.

monitoring and reporting schedule.
2 Grab samples shall be collected within the first 30 minutes of discharge.
Part I1 Page 9 of 10

Permit No. NCG210000
Sample Location: Samples shall be collected at each stormwater discharge outfall (SDO) that discharges
stormwater runoff from area(s) where vehicle maintenance activities occur, unless representative outfall
status (ROS) has been granted. A copy of the letter granting ROS shall be kept on site.
For each sampled measureable storm event, the total precipitation must be recorded. An on -site rain
gauge reading must he recorded. Where isolated sites are unmanned for extended periods of time, a local
rain gauge reading may be substituted for an on -site reading.
The permittee shall complete the analytical samplings in accordance with the schedule specified in
Table 2, unless adverse weather conditions prevent sample collection (see Adverse Weather in
Definitions). Inability to sample because of adverse weather conditions must be documented in the
SPPP and recorded on the DMR. Sampling is not required outside of the facility's normal operating
hours.
Failure to monitor and report semi-annually per permit terms may result in the Division requiring
monthly monitoring for all parameters for a specified time period. "No discharge" from an outfall
or inability to collect a sample because of adverse weather conditions during a monitoring period,
for example, does not constitute failure to monitor, as long as it is properly reported.
The permittee shall compare monitoring results to the benchmark values in Table 6. Exceedances of
benchmark values require the permittee to increase monitoring, increase management actions, increase
record keeping, and/or install stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs) in a tiered program. See
descriptions of Tier One, Tier Two, and Tier Three response actions in Part 11 Section B above. In the
event that the Division releases the permittee from continued monthly monitoring under Tier Two or
Tier Three, DWQ's release letter may remain in effect through subsequent reissuance of this permit,
unless the release letter provides for other conditions or duration.
The permittee must report the results from each sample taken within the monitoring period (See Part
HIE). However, for purposes of benchmark comparison and Tiered response actions, the permittee
shall use the analytical results from the first sample with valid results within the monitoring period.

produce minimum detection and reporting levels and all data generated must be reported down to
the minimum detection or lower reporting level of the procedure. If no approved methods are
determined capable of achieving minimum detection and reporting levels below general permit
discharge requirements, then the most sensitive (method with the lowest possible detection and
reporting level) approved method must be used.
5. Representative Outfall
If a facility has multiple discharge locations with substantially identical stormwater discharges that
are required to be sampled, the permittee may petition the Director for representative outfall status.
If it is established that the stormwater discharges are substantially identical and the permittee is
granted representative outfall status, then sampling requirements may be performed at a reduced
number of outfalls.
6. Records Retention
Qualitative monitoring shall be documented and records maintained at the facility along with the
Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP). Copies of analytical monitoring results shall also be

Adverse Weather
Adverse conditions are those that are dangerous or create inaccessibility for personnel, such as local
flooding, high winds, or electrical storms, or situations that otherwise make sampling impractical.
When adverse weather conditions prevent the collection of samples during the sample period, the
permittee must take a substitute sample or perform a visual assessment during the next qualifying

PART I INTRODUCTION
SECTION A: GENERAL PERMIT COVERAGE
All persons desiring to have facilities covered by this General Permit must register with the Division
of Water Quality (DWQ) by the filing of a Notice of intent (NOI) and applicable fees. The N01 shall be
submitted and a certificate of coverage issued prior to any point source discharge of stormwater
associated with industrial activity to the surface waters of the state.
Any owner or operator not wishing to be covered or limited by this General Permit may make
application for an individual NPDES permit in accordance with NPDES procedures in 1SA NCAC 2H
.0100, stating the reasons supporting the request. Any application for an individual permit should
be made at least 180 days prior to commencement of discharge.
This General Permit does not cover activities or discharges covered by an individual NPDES permit
until the individual permit has expired or has been revoked. Any person conducting an activity
covered by an individual permit but which could be covered by this General Permit may request
that the individual permit be revoked and coverage Linder this General Permit be provided.
If industrial materials and activities are not exposed to precipitation or runoff as described in 40
CFR §122.26(g), the facility may qualify for a No Exposure Exclusion from NPDES stormwater
discharge permit requirements. Any owner or operator wishing to obtain a No Exposure Exclusion
must submit a No Exposure Certification Notice of Intent (NOI) form to the Division; must receive
approval by the Division; must maintain no exposure conditions unless authorized to discharge
under a valid NPDES stormwater permit; and must recertify the No Exposure Exclusion annually.
Any facility may apply for new or continued coverage under this permit until a Total Maximum
Daily Load (TMDL) for pollutants for stormwater is established. A TMDL sets a pollutant -loading
limit that affects a watershed, or portion of a watershed, draining to a specific impaired water. For
discharges to watersheds affected by a TMDL, coverage under this permit may depend on the
facility demonstrating it does not have reasonable potential to violate applicable water
quality standards for those pollutants as a result of discharges. If DWQ determines that
discharges have reasonable potential to cause water quality standard violations, the facility shall
apply for an individual permit 180 days prior to the expiration date of this General Permit. Once
that individual permit is effective, the facility will no longer have coverage under this General
Permit. Note that the permittee must identify impaired waters (scheduled for TMDL development)
and waters already subject to a TMDL in the Site Overview, as outlined in the Stormwater Pollution
Prevention Plan, Part 11, Section A. A list of approved TMDLs for the state of North Carolina can be
found at htt ortal.ncdenr.or web w s mtu tmdl.
Part I Page 1 of 2

Permit No. NCG210000
SECTION B: PERMITTED ACTIVITIES
Until this permit expires or is modified or revoked, the permittee is authorized to discharge
stormwater to the surface waters of North Carolina, or separate storm sewer system, which has
been treated and managed in accordance with the terms and conditions of this General Permit.
Any other point source discharge to surface waters of the state is prohibited unless it is an
allowable non-stormwater discharge or is covered by another permit, authorization, or approval.
The discharges allowed by this General Permit shall not cause or contribute to violations of
Water Quality Standards. This General Permit does not authorize discharges which have been
determined by the Division of Water Quality to be wastewater discharges.
This permit does not relieve the permittee from responsibility for compliance with any other
applicable federal, state, or local law, rule, standard, ordinance, order, judgment, or decree.

Permit No. NCG210000
PART II MONITORING, CONTROLS, AND LIMITATIONS FOR PERMITTED
DISCHARGES
SECTION A: STORMWATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN
The permittee shall develop and implement a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP). The
SPPP shall be maintained on site unless exempted from this requirement by the Division. The SPPP
is public information in accordance with Part Ill, Standard Conditions, Section E, paragraph 3 of this
permit. The SPPP shall include, at a minimum, the following items:
1. Site Overview. The Site Overview shall provide a description of the physical facility and the
potential pollutant sources that may be expected to contribute to contamination of stormwater
discharges. The Site Overview shall contain the following:
(a) A general location map (USGS quadrangle map or appropriately drafted equivalent map),
showing the facility's location in relation to transportation routes and surface waters; the
name of the receiving waters to which the stormwater outfalls discharge, or if the discharge
is to a municipal separate storm sewer system, the name of the municipality and the
ultimate receiving waters; and accurate latitude and longitude of the points of stormwater
discharge associated with industrial activity. The general location map (or alternatively the
site map) shall identify whether any receiving waters are impaired (on the state's 303(d)
list of impaired waters) or if the site is located in a watershed for which a TMDL has been
established, and what the parameters of concern are.
(b) A narrative description of storage practices, loading and unloading activities, outdoor
process areas, dust or particulate generating or control processes, and waste disposal
practices. A narrative description of the potential pollutants that could be expected to be
present in the stormwater discharge from each outfall.
(c) A site map drawn at a scale sufficient to clearly depict: the site property boundary; the
stormwater discharge outfalls; all on -site and adjacent surface waters and wetlands;
industrial activity areas (including storage of materials, disposal areas, process areas,
loading and unloading areas, and haul roads); site topography and finished grade; all
drainage features and structures; drainage area boundaries and total contributing area for
each outfall; direction of flow in each drainage area; industrial activities occurring in each
drainage area; buildings; stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs); and impervious
surfaces. The site map must indicate the percentage of each drainage area that is
impervious, and the site map must include a graphic scale indication and north arrow.
(d) A list of significant spills or leaks of pollutants during the previous three (3) years and
any corrective actions taken to mitigate spill impacts.
(e) Certification that the stormwater outfalls have been evaluated for the presence of non-
stormwater discharges. The permittee shall re -certify annually that the stormwater
outfalls have been evaluated for the presence of non-stormwater discharges. The
certification statement will be signed in accordance with the requirements found in Part III,
Standard Conditions, Section B, Paragraph S.
Part II Page I of 10

Permit No. NCG210000
2. Stormwater Management Strategy. The Stormwater Management Strategy shall contain a
narrative description of the materials management practices employed which control or
minimize the Stormwater exposure of significant materials, including structural and
nonstructural measures. The Stormwater Management Strategy, at a minimum, shall
incorporate the following:
(a) Feasibility Study. A review of the technical and economic feasibility of changing the
methods of operations and/or storage practices to eliminate or reduce exposure of
materials and processes to rainfall and run-on flows. Wherever practical, the permittee
shall prevent exposure of all storage areas, material handling operations, and manufacturing
or fueling operations. In areas where elimination of exposure is not practical, this review
shall document the feasibility of diverting the stormwater run-on away from areas of
potential contamination.
(b) Secondary Containment Requirements and Records. Secondary containment is required
for: bulk storage of liquid materials including petroleum products; storage in any amount of
Section 313 of Title III of the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA) water
priority chemicals; and storage in any amount of hazardous substances, in order to prevent
leaks and spills from contaminating stormwater runoff. A table or summary of all such
tanks and stored materials and their associated secondary containment areas shall be
maintained. If the secondary containment devices are connected to stormwater conveyance
systems, the connection shall be controlled by manually activated valves or other similar
devices, which shall be secured closed with a locking mechanism. Any stormwater that
accumulates in the containment area shall be at a minimum visually observed for color,
foam, outfall staining, visible sheens and dry weather flow, prior to release of the
accumulated stormwater. Accumulated stormwater shall be released if found to be
uncontaminated by any material. Records documenting the individual making the
observation, the description of the accumulated stormwater, and the date and time of the
release shall be kept for a period of five (5) years. For facilities subject to a federal oil Spill
Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure Plan (SPCC), any portion of the SPCC plan fully
compliant with the requirements of this permit may be used to demonstrate compliance
with this permit.
(c) BMP Summary. A listing of site structural and non-structural Best Management Practices
(BMPs) shall be provided. The installation and implementation of BMPs shall be based on
the assessment of the potential for sources to contribute significant quantities of pollutants
to stormwater discharges and on data collected through monitoring of stormwater
discharges. The BMP Summary shall include a written record of the specific rationale for
installation and implementation of the selected site BMPs. The BMP Summary shall be
reviewed and updated annually.
3. Spill Prevention and Response Procedures. The Spill Prevention and Response Procedures
(SPRP) shall incorporate an assessment of potential pollutant sources based on a materials
inventory of the facility. Facility personnel responsible for implementing the SPRP shall be
identified in a written list incorporated into the SPRP and signed and dated by each individual
acknowledging their responsibilities for the procedures. A responsible person shall be on -site
at all times during facility operations that have increased potential to contaminate stormwater
runoff through spills or exposure of materials associated with the facility operations. The SPRP
must be site stormwater specific. Therefore, an oil Spill Prevention Control and
Countermeasure plan (SPCC) may be a component of the SPRP, but may not be sufficient to
completely address the stormwater aspects of the SPRP. The common elements of the SPCC
with the SPRP may be incorporated by reference into the SPRP.
Part II Page 2 of 10

4. Preventative Maintenance and Good Housekeeping Program. A preventative maintenance
and good housekeeping program shall be developed and implemented. The program shall
address all stormwater control systems (if applicable), stormwater discharge outfalls, all on -site
and adjacent surface waters and wetlands, industrial activity areas (including material storage
areas, material handling areas, disposal areas, process areas, loading and unloading areas, and
haul roads), all drainage features and structures, and existing structural BMPs. The program
shall establish schedules of inspections, maintenance, and housekeeping activities of
stormwater control systems, as well as facility equipment, facility areas, and facility systems
that present a potential for stormwater exposure or stormwater pollution where not already
addressed under another element of the SPPP. Inspection of material handling areas and
regular cleaning schedules of these areas shall be incorporated into the program. Timely
compliance with the established schedules for inspections, maintenance, and housekeeping
shall be recorded and maintained in the SPPP.
Facility Inspections. Inspections of the facility and all stormwater systems shall occur as part
of the Preventative Maintenance and Good Housekeeping Program at a minimum on a semi-
annual schedule, once during the first half of the year (January to June), and once during the
second half (July to December), with at least 60 days separating inspection dates (unless
performed more frequently than semi-annually). These facility inspections are different from,
and in addition to, the stormwater discharge characteristic monitoring at the outfalls required
in Part II B, C, and D of this permit.
6. Employee Training. Training programs shall be developed and training provided at a
minimum on an annual basis for facility personnel with responsibilities for: spill response and
cleanup, preventative maintenance activities, and for any of the facility's operations that have
the potential to contaminate stormwater runoff. The annual training shall be documented by
the signature and printed or typed name of each employee trained.
7. Responsible Party. The SPPP shall identify a specific position or positions responsible for the
overall coordination, development, implementation, and revision of the SPPP. Responsibilities
for all components of the SPPP shall be documented and position assignments provided.
S. SPPP Amendment and Annual Update. All aspects of the SPPP shall be reviewed on an annual
basis. The permittee shall amend the SPPP whenever there is a change in design, construction,
operation, site drainage, maintenance, or configuration of the physical features which may have
a significant effect on the potential for the discharge of pollutants to surface waters. The annual
update shall include at a minimum:
(a) an updated list of significant spills or leaks of pollutants for the previous three (3)
years, or the notation that no spills have occurred (element of the Site Overview);
(b) a written re -certification that the stormwater outfalls have been evaluated for the
presence of non-stormwater discharges (element of the Site Overview);
(c) a documented re-evaluation of the effectiveness of the on -site stormwater BMPs (BMP
Summary element of the Stormwater Management Strategy).
(d) a review and comparison of sample analytical data to benchmark values (if applicable)
over the past year, including a discussion about Tiered Response status. The
permittee shall use the Division's Annual Summary Data Monitoring Report (DMR)
form, available from the Stormwater Permitting Unit's website (See'Monitoring
Forms' here: http://portal.ncdenr.org/web/Ir/npdes-stormwater).
Part II Page 3 of 10

Pen -nit No. NCG210000
The Director may notify the permittee when the SPPP does not meet one or more of the
minimum requirements of the permit. Within 30 days of such notice, the permittee shall submit
a time schedule to the Director for modifying the SPPP to meet minimum requirements. The
permittee shall provide certification in writing (in accordance with Part 111, Standard
Conditions, Section B, Paragraph S) to the Director that the changes have been made.
9. SPPP Implementation. The permittee shall implement the Stormwater Pollution Prevention
Plan and all appropriate BMPs consistent with the provisions of this permit, in order to control
contaminants entering surface waters via stormwater. Implementation of the SPPP shall
include documentation of all monitoring, measurements, inspections, maintenance activities,
and training provided to employees, including the log of the sampling data and of actions taken
to implement BMPs associated with the industrial activities, including vehicle maintenance
activities. Such documentation shall be kept on -site for a period of five (5) years and made
available to the Director or the Director's authorized representative immediately upon request.
SECTION B: ANALYTICAL MONITORING REQUIREMENTS
A facility that retains exposed accumulations (either exposed to incident precipitation or exposed
to stormwater run on) of sawdust, wood chips, bark, mulch, or other similarly sized material on site
for more than seven (7) days is required to monitor and report all the site stormwater discharges
for the parameters in Table 1.
The permittee may petition the DWQ Regional Office Surface Water Protection Supervisor to be excused from
the required monitoring:
a) upon a DWQ Compliance Evaluation Inspection, and;
b) on the basis that DWQ concludes that taken as a whole, site -wide conditions support the
assessment of very limited risk of stormwater pollution from the site.
c) Among any other factors deemed relevant in his or her own considerations, the Regional Office
Supervisor shall consider whether the amount of accumulated exposed materials may be deemed
de minimis with respect to the potential to generate stormwater runoff pollutants. Given that all site
conditions may be relevant to the determination of what constitutes a de minimis amount, such
determinations shall be made on a `case -by -case basis', and shall not be assumed to be generally, or
specifically, transferrable to any other permitted site, regardless of superficial similarities.
d) The Regional Office Supervisor will communicate any such determination in writing, and shall state
any qualifying conditions for the permittee's continuing release from monitoring. DWQ's release
letter may remain in effect through subsequent reissued versions of this permit, unless the release
letter provides for other conditions or duration.
e) If released from monitoring, the permittee must still continue to submit semi-annual Discharge
Monitoring Reports, with the notation: "Released from Monitoring by DWQ Regional Office."
1f at any time there are changes to DWQ's initial site assessment, or to the initial site operating
circumstances, the permittee must immediately begin analytical monitoring and reporting in accordance
with Tables 1 and 2, and must immediately inform the DWQ Regional Office that analytical monitoring has
been instituted.

Footnotes:
1 Measurement Frequency: Twice per year (unless other provisions of this permit prompt monthly sampling)
during a measureable storm event, until either another permit is issued For this facility or until this permit is
revoked or rescinded. See Table 2 for schedule of monitoring periods through the end of this permitting cycle. If
the facility is monitoring monthly because of Tier Two or Three response actions under the previous General
Permit, the facility should continue a monthly monitoring and reporting schedule.
2 Grab samples shall be collected within the first 30 minutes of discharge.
3 Sample Location: Samples shall be collected at each stormwater discharge outfall (SDO) unless representative
outfall status (ROS) has been granted. A copy of the DWQ letter granting ROS shall be kept on site.
4 For each sampled measureable storm event, the total precipitation must be recorded. An on -site rain gauge
reading must be recorded. Where isolated sites are unmanned for extended periods of time, a local rain gauge
reading may be substituted for an on -site reading.
All analytical monitoring shall be performed during a measureable storm event at each
stormwater discharge outfall (SDO).
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 permittee 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. See Definitions.
A minimum of 60 days must separate Period 1 and Period 2 sample dates unless monthly
monitoring has been instituted tinder other requirements of this permit.
The permittee shall complete the analytical samplings in accordance with the schedule specified in
Table 2, unless adverse weather conditions prevent sample collection (see Adverse Weather in
Definitions). Inability to sample because of adverse weather conditions must be documented in the
SPPP and recorded on the DMR. Sampling is not required outside of the facility's normal operating
hours.
Failure to monitor and report semi-annually per permit terms may result in the Division requiring
monthly monitoring and reporting for all parameters for a specified time period. "No discharge"
from an outfall or inability to collect a sample because of adverse weather conditions during a
monitoring period, for example, does not constitute failure to monitor, as long as it is properly
reported.

Footnotes:
1 Maintain semi-annual monitoring and reporting during permit renewal process unless other
provisions of this permit prompt monthly sampling.
2 If no discharge occurs during the sampling period, the permittee must submit a monitoring report
indicating "No Flow" or "No Discharge" within 30 days of the end of the sampling period.
The permittee must report the results from each sample taken within the monitoring period (See Part
III E). However, for purposes of benchmark comparison and Tiered response actions, the permittee
shall use the analytical results from the first sample with valid results within the monitoring period.
The permittee shall compare monitoring results to the benchmark values in Table 3. The benchmark
values in Table 3 are not permit limits, but should be used as guidelines for implementation of the
permittee's SPPP. Exceedances of benchmark values require the permittee to increase monitoring and
reporting, increase management actions, increase record keeping, and/or install stormwater Best
Management Practices (BMPs) in a tiered program. See descriptions of Tier One, Tier Two, and Tier
Three response actions below. In the event that the Division releases the permittee from continued
monthly monitoring and reporting under Tier Two or Tier Three, DWQ's release letter may remain in
effect through subsequent reissuance of this permit, unless the release letter provides for other
conditions or duration.

Tier One
If: The first valid sampling results are above a benchmark value for any parameter at any outfall;
Then: The permittee shall:
1. Conduct a stormwater management inspection of the facility within two weeks of receiving
sampling results.
2. Identify and evaluate possible causes of the benchmark value exceedence.
3. Identify potential and select the specific: source controls, operational controls, or physical
improvements to reduce concentrations of the parameters of concern.
4. Implement the selected actions within two months of the inspection.
S. Record each instance of a Tier One response in the SPPP. Include the date and value of the benchmark
exceedence, the inspection date, the personnel conducting the inspection, the selected actions, and the
date the selected actions were implemented.
6. Note: Benchmark exceedances for a different parameter separately trigger the several tiered response
requirements.
Tier Two
If: The first valid sampling results from two consecutive monitoring periods are above the benchmark values
for any specific parameter at a specific discharge outfall;
Then: The permittee shall:
1. Repeat all the required actions outlined above in Tier One.
2. Immediately institute monthly monitoring and reporting for all parameters at every outfall where a
sampling result exceeded the benchmark value for two consecutive samples. Monthly (analytical and
qualitative) monitoring and reporting shall continue until three consecutive sample results are below
the benchmark values.
3. If no discharge occurs during the sampling period, the permittee is required to submit a monthly
monitoring report indicating "No Flow" to comply with reporting requirements.
4. Alternatively, in lieu of steps 2 and 3, the permittee may, after two consecutive exceedances, exercise
the option of contacting the DWQ Regional Office Supervisor as provided below in Tier Three. The
Regional Office Supervisor may direct the response actions on the part of the permittee as provided in
Tier Three, including reduced or additional sampling parameters or frequency.
S. Maintain a record of the Tier Two response in the SPPP.
6. Continue Tier Two response obligations throughout the permit COC renewal process.
Tier Three
If the valid sampling results required for the permit monitoring periods exceed the benchmark value for
any specific parameter at any specific outfall on four occasions, the permittee shall notify the DWQ
Regional Office Supervisor in writing within 30 days of receipt of the fourth analytical results. DWQ
may but is not limited to:
• require the permittee to revise, increase, or decrease the monitoring and reporting frequency for
some or all parameters required herein, including requiring sampling of additional or substitute
parameters; .
• rescind coverage under the General Permit, and require that the permittee apply for an
individual stormwater discharge permit;
• require the permittee to install structural stormwater controls;
• require the permittee to implement other stormwater control measures;
• require the permittee to perform upstream and downstream monitoring to characterize impacts
on receiving waters;
• require the permittee implement site modifications to qualify for a No Exposure Exclusion; or
• require the permittee to continue Tier Three obligations through the permit COC renewal process,
and possibly into the next permit cycle.

Permit No. NCG210000
SECTION C: QUALITATIVE MONITORING REQUIREMENTS
All facilities covered by this permit must perform Qualitative Monitoring. The purpose of
qualitative monitoring is to evaluate the effectiveness of the SPPP and to assess new sources of
stormwater pollution. Qualitative monitoring of stormwater outfalls must be performed during a
measurable storm event.
Qualitative monitoring requires a visual inspection of each stormwater outfall associated with
industrial activity regardless of representative outfall status. Qualitative monitoring shall be
performed semi-annually as specified in Table 4, and during required analytical monitoring events if
applicable (unless the permittee is required to perform further qualitative sampling per the
Qualitative Monitoring Response below). Inability to sample because of adverse weather
conditions must be documented in the SPPP and recorded on the DMR (see Adverse Weather in
Definitions). Only SDOs discharging stormwater associated with industrial activity must be
monitored (See Definitions).
In the event an atypical condition is noted at a stormwater discharge outfall, the permittee shall
document the suspected cause of the condition and any actions taken in response to the discovery.
This documentation will be maintained with the SPPP.

permittee must continue qualitative monitoring throughout the permit renewal process.
Z Monitoring Location: Qualitative monitoring shall be performed at each stormwater discharge outfall
(SDO) associated with industrial activity, regardless of representative outfall status (ROS).
A minimum of 60 days must separate monitoring dates, unless additional sampling has been
instituted as part of other analytical monitoring requirements in this permit.
If the permittee's qualitative monitoring indicates that existing stormwater BMPs are ineffective, or that
significant stormwater contamination is present, the permittee shall investigate potential causes, evaluate
the feasibility of corrective actions, and implement those corrective actions within 60 days, per the
Part II Page 8 of 10

Permit No. NCG210000
Qualitative Monitoring Response, below. A written record of the permittee's investigation, evaluation,
and response actions shall be kept in the SPPP.
Qualitative Monitoring Response
Qualitative monitoring is for the purposes of evaluating SPPP effectiveness, assessing new sources of
stormwater pollution, and prompting the permittee's response to pollution. If the permittee
repeatedly fails to respond effectively to correct problems identified by qualitative monitoring, or if
the discharge causes or contributes to a water quality standard violation, DWQ may but is not
limited to:
• require that the permittee revise, increase, or decrease monitoring frequency for some or
all parameters (analytical or qualitative);
• require the permittee to install structural stormwater controls;
• require the permittee to implement other stormwater control measures;
• require the permittee to perform upstream and downstream monitoring to characterize
impacts on receiving waters; or
• require the permittee implement site modifications to qualify for a No Exposure Exclusion.
SECTION D: ON -SITE VEHICLE MAINTENANCE MONITORING REQUIREMENTS
Facilities that have any vehicle maintenance activity occurring on -site which uses more than 55
gallons of new motor oil and hydraulic oil per month, combined, when averaged over the
calendar year shall perform analytical monitoring as specified below in Table 5. All analytical
monitoring shall be performed during a measureable storm event at all stormwater discharge
outfalls (SDOs) that discharge stormwater runoff from vehicle maintenance areas.

1 Measurement Frequency: Twice per year (unless other provisions of this permit prompt monthly
sampling) during a measureable storm event, until either another permit is issued for this facility or
until this permit is revoked or rescinded. If the facility is monitoring monthly because of Tier Two or
Three response actions under the previous General Permit, the facility should continue a monthly
monitoring and reporting schedule.
2 Grab samples shall be collected within the first 30 minutes of discharge.
Part 11 Page 9 of 10

Permit No. NCG210000
3 Sample Location: Samples shall be collected at each stormwater discharge outfall (SDO) that discharges
stormwater runoff from area(s) where vehicle maintenance activities occur, unless representative outfall
status (ROS) has been granted. A copy of the letter granting ROS shall be kept on site.
4 For each sampled measureable storm event, the total precipitation must be recorded. An on -site rain
gauge reading must be recorded. Where isolated sites are unmanned for extended periods of time, a local
rain gauge reading may be substituted for an on -site reading.
The permittee shall complete the analytical samplings in accordance with the schedule specified in
Table 2, unless adverse weather conditions prevent sample collection (see Adverse Weather in
Definitions). Inability to sample because of adverse weather conditions must be documented in the
SPPP and recorded on the DMR. Sampling is not required outside of the facility's normal operating
hours.
Failure to monitor and report semi-annually per permit terms may result in the Division requiring
monthly monitoring for all parameters for a specified time period. "No discharge" from an outfall
or inability to collect a sample because of adverse weather conditions during a monitoring period,
for example, does not constitute failure to monitor, as long as it is properly reported.
The permittee shall compare monitoring results to the benchmark values in Table 6. Exceedances of
benchmark values require the permittee to increase monitoring, increase management actions, increase
record keeping, and/or install stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs) in a tiered program. See
descriptions of Tier One, Tier Two, and Tier Three response actions in Part If Section B above. In the
event that the Division releases the permittee from continued monthly monitoring under Tier Two or
Tier Three, DWQ's release letter may remain in effect through subsequent reissuance of this permit,
unless the release letter provides for other conditions or duration.
The permittee must report the results from each sample taken within the monitoring period (See Part
III E). However, for purposes of benchmark comparison and Tiered response actions, the permittee
shall use the analytical results from the first sample with valid results within the monitoring period.

approve an anticipated bypass after considering its adverse effects.
SECTION D: MONITORING AND RECORDS
Representative Sampling
Samples collected and measurements taken, as required herein, shall be characteristic of the volume
and nature of the permitted discharge. Analytical sampling shall be performed during a measureable
storm event. Samples shall be taken on a day and time that is characteristic of the discharge. All
samples shall be taken before the discharge joins or is diluted by any other waste stream, body of
water, or substance. Monitoring points as specified in this general permit shall not be changed
without notification to and approval of the Permit Issuing Authority [40 CFR 122.410)].
Part ill Page 6 of 10

Permit No. NCG2100OO
Recording Results
For each measurement or sample taken pursuant to the requirements of this general permit, the
permittee shall record the following information [40 CFR 122.41]:
a. The date, exact place, and time of sampling or measurements;
b. The individual(s) who performed the sampling or measurements;
c. The date(s) analyses were performed;
d. The individual(s) who performed the analyses;
e. The analytical techniques or methods used; and
f. The results of such analyses.
Flow Measurements
Where required, appropriate flow measurement devices and methods consistent with accepted
scientific practices shall be selected and used to ensure the accuracy and reliability of measurements
of the volume of monitored discharges.
Test Procedures
Test procedures for the analysis of pollutants shall conform to the EMC regulations published
pursuant to NCGS 143-215.63 et. seq, the Water and Air Quality Reporting Acts, and to regulations
published pursuant to Section 304(g), 33 USC 1314, of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act, as
Amended, and Regulation 40 CFR 136.
To meet the intent of the monitoring required by this general permit, all test procedures must
produce minimum detection and reporting levels and all data generated must be reported down to
the minimum detection or lower reporting level of the procedure. If no approved methods are
determined capable of achieving minimum detection and reporting levels below general permit
discharge requirements, then the most sensitive (method with the lowest possible detection and
reporting level) approved method must be used.
Representative Outfall
If a facility has multiple discharge locations with substantially identical stormwater discharges that
are required to be sampled, the permittee may petition the Director for representative outfall status.
If it is established that the stormwater discharges are substantially identical and the permittee is
granted representative outfall status, then sampling requirements may be performed at a reduced
number of outfalls.
6. Records Retention
Qualitative monitoring shall be documented and records maintained at the facility along with the
Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP). Copies of analytical monitoring results shall also be
maintained on -site. The permittee shall retain records of all monitoring information, including
o all calibration and maintenance records,
o all original strip chart recordings for continuous monitoring instrumentation,
o copies of all reports required by this general permit,
o copies of all data used to complete the Notice of Intent to be covered by this general permit.
These records or copies shall be maintained for a period of at least S years from the date of the
sample, measurement, report or Notice of Intent application. This period may be extended by
request of the Director at any time [40 CFR 122.41]. If this volume of records cannot be maintained
on -site, the documents must be made available to an inspector upon request as immediately as'
possible.

STORMWATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN
SCM — Fletcher Batch Plant
Fletcher, North Carolina
1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Regulatory Background
The Clean Water Act of 1970 and changes in 1972, 1987 and 1990 required control of all
stormwater discharges from wider variety of industries to the waters of United States. According to
the November 16, 1990 regulations, facilities with a "stormwater discharge associated with
industrial activity" were required to apply for coverage under the NPDES program.
In compliance with the provisions of the Clean Water Act (CWA) and the North Carolina General
Statute 143-215.1, operators of storm water discharges associated with industrial activity located in
North Carolina are authorized to discharge to waters of the State and the United States in
accordance with the eligibility and Notice of Intent (NOI) requirements, effluent limitations,
inspection requirements, and other conditions set forth in the Stormwater General Permit issued to
the facility.
{ The application requirement affected only specific types of industrial activities defined either by a
narrative description or by a Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) code (SIC codes 20 to 39)-
This includes the category in which SCM — Fletcher Batch Concrete Plant operates (SIC/NAICS
Code 3273/32732).
The State of North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources (NC DENR),
pursuant to the requirements of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 covers discharge from
stormwater outfalls for SCM - Concrete Batch Plant under the NPDES General Permit No.
NCG140000. NC DENR issued a NPDES General permit to SCM — Fletcher Batch Concrete Plant
with a Certificate of Coverage (COC) NCG140160 to discharge stormwater from outfalls at the
facility. An approved copy of the renewed permit is included in Appendix A.
1.2 Purpose and Goals of the Plan
As a condition of the General Permit, a SWPP Plan shall be developed and prepared in accordance
with good engineering practices. The Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) for all
stormwater outfalis covered by the general permit will be referred to in the remainder of this
document as the "SWPP Plan", or simply the "Plan". The text of the general permit requires three
separate components be developed in accordance with the regulations to control, limit, and monitor
stormwater discharge associated with industrial activity. This document provides a description of
the physical facility and the potential pollutant sources that may contribute contamination to a
stormwater discharge, Best Management Practices implemented at the site and a Spill Prevention
and Release Response Procedures (SPRP) implemented.

The BMP sections narratively describe the materials management practices employed to control or
minimize the exposure of significant materials to stormwater, including structural and nonstructural
measures. The SPRP section is intended to identify procedure, methods and equipment to prevent
the discharge of oil from non -transportation -related facilities into or upon the navigable waters of the
United States.
The goal of this Plan is to prevent spills and leaks of potential pollutants that could degrade
stormwater quality resulting in surface water, soil, and ground water pollution. The Plan
emphasizes prevention of pollution rather than treatment of pollutants. To assure compliance with
the terms and conditions of this permit and attain these goals, the elements of this Plan are
structured to provide the following:
The identification and assessment of potential sources of pollution associated with
industrial activity from the facility which may reasonably be expected to affect the
quality of stormwater discharges, and
The development and implementation of appropriate measures, controls, and
practices, referred to as "Best Management Practices" (BMPs), to reduce the
pollutants in stormwater discharges and prevent soil, surface water, and ground
water pollution.
1.3 On -Site SWPP Plan Compliance
A completed and certified copy of the Plan shall be kept at the facility and be readily available for
review by facility personnel and by the regulatory agency.

3.0 PLAN AMENDMENT
In accordance with the objectives of the General Permit, this SWPP Plan is intended to be a
dynamic document. SCM — Pletcher Batch Concrete Plant personnel will perform at least semi-
annual inspections of stormwater outfalls and corresponding drainage areas as well as review spill
history and stormwater sampling data and update the SWPP Plan annually. The purpose of these
inspections and reviews is to identify whether the existing SWPP Plan is effective. If it is not
effective, or if physical changes in the facility occur, the plan shall be updated to maintain or
improve its effectiveness.
The stormwater permit requires the SWPP Plan to be reviewed and if warranted, updated at least
annually. The potential conditions required to amend the Plan are:
• The permittee shall amend the SWPP Plan whenever there is a change in design,
construction, operation, or maintenance which has a significant effect on the potential for
the discharge of pollutants to surface waters;
• An unauthorized release or discharge (e.g., spill, leak, or discharge of non-
stormwater not authorized by this or another NPDES permit) occurs at your facility;
A discharge violates a benchmark;
• An inspection or evaluation of your facility by a Department official, or local entity,
determines that modifications to the control measures are necessary to meet the
non -numeric effluent limits in this permit; or
You find in your routine facility inspection, semi-annual visual assessment, or annual
r site inspection that your control measures are not being properly operated and
maintained.
• New federal, state, or local regulations require revision of the Plan, as otherwise
requested by a government agency,
• There is a change in Pollution Prevention Team (PPT) members or responsibilities,
• There is a significant spill or leak at the facility_
The annual update shall include:
• an updated list of significant spills or leaks of pollutants for the previous three years,
or the notation that no spills have occurred;
• a written recertification that the stormwater outfalls have been evaluated for the
presence of non-stormwater discharges;
• a documented re-evaluation of the effectiveness of the BMPs listed in the BMP
Summary of the Stormwater Management Plan; and
printed name, date and signature of the individual performing the review, as well as a
detailed description of the changes necessary to keep the SWPP Plan updated.
This plan has been prepared in a manner to allow easy updates, should changes or increased
stormwater pollution occur. Each update of the Plan shall be re -certified by the appropriate SCM —
Fletcher Batch Concrete Plant authorized personnel.

4.2 Description of Manufacturing Processes
The manufacturing process includes raw materials receiving and concrete batch operation. tt is a
dry batch operation and currently, the plant is in operation.
4.3 Solid Waste Handling and Disposal
Currently, the solid waste that is being generated at the facility goes to a county landfill.
4.4 Cement and Fly Ash Management
SCM — Fletcher Batch Concrete Plant uses a cement silo and a fly ash silo at the facility. As per
the Plant Manager orders, the cement and fly ash trucks come to the site and load the silos using a
pneumatic system. These silos are equipped with bag filter to control air emissions going into the
environment. Further, these silos are permitted to operate under the State air permit program.
4.5 Admixture Tanks and Other Truck Wash Management
Admixture tanks present at the site are inside the building. Any potential leaks from the containers
are secured in a secondary containment. The materials into these containers are transferred via
pumps. Currently, admixture tanks are being used.
A truck wash tote and a water reducer tote were found at the site.
4.6 Oil Storage Management
Aboveground storage tanks (AST), drums and totes for virgin and used oils were observed at the
facility. A separate oil spill prevention control and countermeasure plan was prepared and
implemented for the oils stored at the facility.
4.7 Sanitary Wastewater Disposal
All the facility sanitary sewer water goes to the city of Fletcher Publicly Owned Treatment Works
(POTW) for treatment and disposal.
4.8 Stormwater Drainage and Management
Stormwater runoff from the plant building roof drains, parking areas and driveways is collected and
directed to two outfalls for discharge as indicated on Figure 2. Potential pollutants in each outfail
will be confined to oil and grease, pH and suspended solids should the operations begin at the
subject facility.

5.0 TOTAL MAXIMUM DAILY LOAD (TMDL) AND 303(d) LISTING
Section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act (CWA) requires states to develop a list of waters not meeting
water duality standards or which have impaired uses. This list, referred to as the 303(d) list, is
submitted biennially to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for review. The 303(d)
process requires that a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) be developed for each of the waters
appearing on Part I of the 303(d) list. The objective of a TMDL is to estimate allowable pollutant
loads and allocate to known sources so that actions may be taken to restore the water to its
intended uses (USEPA, 1991).
The nearest water body at the site is an unnamed tributary to Cane Creek and from Cane Creek to
Broad River. Based on the State web site 303(d) listing, the -Cane Creek is classified as Class WS-
IV waters and is impaired for ecological/biological integrity fish com. Based on the processes and
the BMPs at SCM — Fletcher Batch Concrete Plant, no pollutants are discharged to affect
ecological/biological integrity fish cam in the stormwater effluent flows from the site.
A copy of the NC 2012 TMDL listing for Irwin Creek and the maps showing the watershed are
provided in Appendix A.

6.0 ON -SITE WASTEWATER TREATMENT OPERATIONS
6.1 Wastewater Sources and Handling
The General Permit authorizes the discharge of process wastewater associated with three distinct
activities: 1) vehicle and equipment cleaning - external surfaces, 2) wetting of raw material
stockpiles, and 3) mixing drum cleanout. Currently, SCM - Fletcher facility generates all the above
three process wastewaters at the subject facility.
6.2 Recycle Pit System Description
The recycle pit system at the site consists of'a multiple pit system with a drying bed for the waste
materials removed from the pits. The water from the final pit is recycled in the plant as needed
basis.
All process water generated at the site is directed to flow into the recycle water system. This
system utilizes a multiple -bay concrete weir structure. The structure is designed to remove
suspended solids as water moves from bay to bay. The water from the final bay is pumped for
batching of concrete. The recycle water system was designed not to discharge any process water
during normal rainfall conditions.
The location of the recycling system along with stormwater flow directions and wash areas are
displayed on Figure 2.
6.3 Feasibility Study for Phosphate Containing Detergents (Not Applicable)
As per Part 11 and Section B of the Stormwater General Permit, a list of detergents, additives,
polymers, brighteners and any other solvent, cleaning agents, or like chemicals used on site in the
industrial process, must be kept on site and up to date. Additionally, this list shall include use
schedule, quantity, MSDS sheets and aquatic toxicology data (if available). If phosphate -containing
detergents are used on site, a feasibility study must be performed to show the viability of using
phosphate -free detergents. The feasibility study shall be kept on the site and updated annually.
SCM — Fletcher Batch Plant is in operation and NO phosphate containing detergents are being
used at the present time. Therefore, no feasibility study is required. However, if phosphate -
containing detergents are used at the site in the future, the facility is required to do a feasibility
study for the phosphate containing detergents and a copy of the feasibility study shall be provided
in Appendix H.

8.0 POTENTIAL POLLUTANT SOURCES
Potential stormwater pollution sources were identified during site visit and evaluated using a low -
medium -high scale to assigned potential risk. A low risk implies that the source is in an area, which
has automatic shutoffs or alarms or is sufficiently contained such that stormwater contamination can
only occur if drips or leaks reach the floor. A medium risk implies that the source is in an area,
which does not have adequate overflow protection or alarms. A high risk implies any interaction of
stormwater with the source will result in the transference of potential contamination.
Table 1 contains a complete list of potential stormwater pollution sources and the risk of
contamination from the identified sources_ Figure 2 shows a detailed site plan locating specific
sources of potential stormwater pollution.
8.1 Facility Drainage
Drainage from the SCM — Fletcher Batch Concrete Plant site ultimately reaches to Pigeon River
from the site. Two drainage areas (Figure 2) are delineated for the SCM — Fletcher Batch Concrete
Plant site. The description of the drainage areas, the portions of the site included in each drainage
area and the potential for equipment failure in each area are as follows.
8.1.1 Drainage Area 1
Drainage area includes concrete batch operation and storage tanks/silos. The drainage area for
the outfall is provided on Figure 2. The contaminants that could be expected from the drainage
areas are oil & grease, particulate matter and pH from the concrete batch operation, the cement
silos and loading and unloading of dry concrete batch.
8.1.2 Drainage Area 2
Drainage area includes all the buildings, raw materials storage areas, and aboveground storage
tanks and parking lot. The drainage area for the outfall is provided on Figure 2. The contaminants
that could be expected from the drainage areas are oil & grease, particulate matter and pH from the
raw materials storage and the ASTs and washwater from drum cleaning operations.
8.2 Outfalls Description
Figure 2 shows a site plan of the facility delineating the drainage areas and stormwater runoff
routes for the outfalls. Facility drainage consists primarily of surface water runoff from paved and
grassy areas and collected runoff from the facility's roof drainage system. The surface water runoff
is routed by gravity to a strategically located outfall at the site.
For the purposes of this Plan, materials stored and used inside the main building will not be
addressed.
8.2.1 Location of Outfalls and the Activities Contributing to the Outfalls
Outfali-1: Storm drainage ditch on western side of the site between the concrete batch operations
and the main road.
Activities: Concrete batch operations, silos and loading of dry concrete batch_

Email. [e-mail] Fletcher, NC 28732

d
Outfall-2: Storm drainage ditch on northern of the site beyond the wash pits.
Activities: Raw materials storage, ASTs, admixtures area and parking lots
8.2.2 Representative Outfall Status
SCM -- Fletcher Batch Concrete Plant need not request for a representative outfall status since the
outfalls discharge is contributed by different site activities.
8.3 Inventory of Significant Materials
This section identifies "significant materials" and their potential to contaminate stormwater at SCM —
Fletcher Batch Concrete Plant. Currently, NO operations are being conducted at the facility.
8.3.1 Outside Storage Areas
Raw materials such as stone and sand, cement and fly ash are stored at the facility. The petroleum
products usage at the plant are very limited.
Potential spills/leaks could be from the petroleum tanks, admixture chemicals and cement silos
unloading and trash and non-haz waste loading operations. Typical contaminants from these
operations are pH, TSS, Oil & Grease.
8.3.2.Outside Loading/Unloading Practices
Raw materials such as stone and sand, cement and fly ash are unloaded at the facility, whereas,
trash and other non -hazardous wastes are loaded from the facility as required. The oil usage at the
plant is very limited.
Potential spills/leaks could be from the petroleum tanks, admixture chemicals and cement silos
unloading and trash and non-haz waste loading operations. Typical contaminants from these
operations are pH, TSS, Oil & Grease.
8.2.3 Outdoor Process[Washwater Areas
A washwater collection pit system exist at the site. The purpose of the washwater collection pit system
is to collect washwater generated from the drum and chute washing at the end of the day, and
washwater from surfacial cleaning at the end of each dry batch loading operations and any washwater
from the floor cleanings. The water from the pits is being recycled. However, any overflow from the pit
system would go to the outfall.
A truck wash tote was also found at the site and any washwater from the truck wash system goes to
the washwater pit for recycle.
Typical contaminants from these operations are pH, TSS, oil & grease and SS should the
operations begin at the plant.
8.2.4 Waste Handling Areas
SCM — Fletcher Batch Concrete Plant handles waste streams generated at the plant in the following
manner:
The facility has a couple of dumpsters for office and general plant waste_ A waste hauler removes
the dumpsters as needed.
CP Engineering and Environmental Solutions 12 SWPP Plan
CPEES Project No 1114-011 SCM-Fletcher Plant
Tel: [phone] Hendersonville Road
Email: [e-mail] Fletcher, NC 24732

Currently, NO hazardous waste is being generated at the facility_
8.4 Historical Spills and Leaks
Significant spills and leaks with respect to stormwater contamination are defined in the SCM —
Fletcher Batch Concrete Plant General Stormwater Permit NCG140000 to include but not be limited
to releases of oil or hazardous substances in excess of reportable quantities under section 311 of
the Clean Water Act (ref: 40 CFR 110.10 and CFR 117.21) or section 102 of CERCLA (ref: 40 CFR
302.4) during the past three years.
SCM — Fletcher Batch Concrete Plant personnel, in their daily routine, constantly monitor chemical
storage areas, silos and transfer operations. Spills occurring in the plant process areas may result
from tank overfilling, leaks, broken valves, loose fittings, ruptured hoses, tank failure, or operator
error. Spills from drums or tote bins may result from mishandling, container failure, or leaking
fittings.
The SCM — Fletcher Batch Concrete Plant has had no "significant leak or spill" events (i.e., spills
that have exceeded their reportable quantities) within the past twelve months period. Any spills
occurred and the actions taken by the facility last 3 years are recorded in Log C1.
Log C1 in Appendix C is a reporting form to list significant spills or leaks in excess of reportable
quantities that occurred at the facility during the three years prior to the date of this plan. Any future
( spill events can also be recorded in the Log C1. Log C2 is a form to use in recording the events
and circumstances surrounding a spill event recorded in Log C1.

9.0 MONITORING DATA & REPORTING
9.1 Stormwater
9.1._1 Quantitative Monitoring
SCM — Fletcher Batch Concrete Plant is required to monitor stormwater discharge from all
stormwater outfalls as per Part IV, Section A and Tablel , unless representative outfall status is
granted as specified in Part V Section D, Item 5 of the permit_ The analytical sampling is done
twice a year and the monitoring schedule is given in Table 2 of Part IV Section A of the permit. A
minimum of 60 days MUST separate each monitoring event unless additional monitoring has been
instituted.
The permittee shall compare monitoring results to benchmark values in Part IV, Section A, Table 3.
Exceedences of benchmark values require the permittee to increase monitoring in a tiered program.
See the descriptions of Tier One, Tier Two, and Tier Three Response Actions (Appendix D), given
in Part IV Section A.
All analytical monitoring shall be performed during a measurable storm event at each stormwater
discharge outfall (SDO).
A measurable storm event is a storm event that results in an actual discharge from the pemaitted
site outfall. The previous measurable stoma event must have been at least 72 hours prior. The 72-
hour storm interval does not apply if the permittee is able to document that a shorter interval is
representative for local storm events during the sampling period, and obtains approval from the
local DWQ Regional Office.
9.1.2 On -site Vehicle Maintenance Area Monitoring Requirements
As described in Part IV, Section B (On -site Vehicle Maintenance Area Monitoring Requirements) —
Facilities which have any vehicle maintenance activity occurring on -site using more than 55 gallons
of new motor oil per month when averaged over a calendar year shall perform analytical monitoring
as specified in Part IV, Section B Table 4. This monitoring shall be performed at all outfalls, which
discharge stormwater runoff from the vehicle maintenance areas.
SCM -- Fletcher Batch Concrete Plant is NOT required to monitor stormwater discharge from all
stormwater outfalls for on -site vehicle maintenance monitoring requirements since on -site usage of
oil at the subject facility is less than 55 gallons of new motor oil per month.
9.1.3 Qualitative Monitoring
Qualitative monitoring requires a visual inspection of each stormwater outfall regardless of
representative outfall status and shall be performed as specified in Part IV, Section C, Table 6,
during the analytical monitoring event. Qualitative monitoring is for the purpose of evaluating the
effectiveness of the stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan and assessing new sources of

9.2.1 Process Wastewater Discharges
This General Permit authorizes the discharge of process wastewater associated with three distinct
activities: 1) vehicle and equipment cleaning_ - external surfaces, 2) wettinq_ of raw material
stockpiles, and 3) mixing drum cleanout_
9.2.2 Process Wastewater Monitoring Requirements
Analytical monitoring of the above authorized process wastewater discharges shall be performed
Quarterly basis as specified in Part IV, Section D,Tabie 7. If authorized process wastewaters
commingle prior to discharge, sampling the combined discharge will meet the monitoring
requirements of this permit. Sampling shall be performed during discharge; these events may or
may not be associated with rainfall.
Failure to monitor wastewater quarterly per permit terms immediately institutes monthly monitoring
for all wastewater parameters. Violation of permit limits twice in a row immediately institutes
monthly monitoring for all wastewater parameters. In either case, after six (6) months of monthly
monitoring, the permittee may return to a quarterly monitoring schedule, unless DWQ requires
continued monthly monitoring. Wastewater discharges must meet the requirements of the effluent
limitation listed in Part IV Section D, Table 8. An exceedence of any of these limitations will result in
a violation of the permit conditions. The permittee shall complete the analytical samplings of
wastewater discharges in accordance with the schedule specified in Part IV Section D, Table 9.

10.0 POLLUTION MEASURES AND BMPS
The SCM — Fletcher Batch Concrete Plant facility has a standing policy of being an environmentally
proactive company, which embraces the goal of long-term waste reduction both in the volume and
toxicity of wastes generated.
10.1 Guiding Principles
SCM -- Fletcher Batch Concrete Plant has developed spill control principles and practices that
represent its general philosophy of spill control and environmental stewardship. These principles
are presented below:
• A philosophy of preventing unplannedlunpermitted releases and controlling sources
should be used during the stormwater pollution source identification and alternatives
evaluation process;
Sources should be controlled to prevent unauthorized releases to wastewater or
stormwater collection systems;
• Spills should be treated as close to the source as feasible, and/or adequate spill
control facilities should be provided;
• Early warning and detection of spills and upset conditions should be provided to
allow source control or treatment process changes;
• Passive or automated systems designed to control spills without operator action
should be provided, where feasible, to reduce reliance on operator detection and
reaction;
All releases are to be prevented, not just reportable ones.
10.2 Guiding Practices
The most effective method to prevent pollution of soils, surface water or ground water is to
implement Best Management Practices (BMPs). BMPs are schedules of activities, prohibitions of
practices, maintenance procedures, and other management practices to prevent or reduce the
pollution of waters of the United States. BMPs also include treatment requirements, operation
procedures, and practices to control plant site runoff, spillage or leaks, sludge or waste disposal, or
drainage from raw material storage. BMPs may take the form of a process, activity or physical
structure, which can be grouped under one of three classifications:
Baseline BMPs
Advanced Generic and Site Specific BMPs
-- CP Engineering and Environmental Solutions 18 SWPP Plan
CPEES Polect No 1114-011 SCM-Fletcher Plant
Tel: [phone] Hendersonville Road
Email.- [e-mail] Fletcher, NC 28732

10.3 Baseline Best Management Practices
Baseline BMPs are relatively simple, inexpensive, and cost-effective. They emphasize prevention
of pollution rather than treatment of pollutants_ The baseline BMPs discussed below may be
employed across the entire facility.
10.3.1 Good Housekeeping
Good housekeeping involves a common sense approach to improve and maintain a clean and
orderly work environment by implementing the following practices:
• Storing chemicals in a neat and orderly manner,
• Cleaning up small spills promptly,
• Regular refuse pickup and disposal,
• Good storage and material inventory practices, including labeling of all containers,
• Schedule routine cleanup efforts, and
• Discuss and promote good housekeeping practices with employees.
10.3.2 Preventive Maintenance
A preventive maintenance program is an effective BMP for preventing surface or ground water
pollution. A preventive maintenance program should include:
• Timely inspection and maintenance of stormwater management devices (e.g.,
cleaning oil/water separators, catch basins, secondary containment structures, storm
gutters etc.);
( • Inspection and testing of facility equipment and systems to uncover conditions that
could cause breakdowns or failures resulting in discharges of pollutants to surface
water and ground water (including pipes, pumps, storage tanks and bins, pressure
vessels, pressure release valves, and process and material handling equipment);
and
• Proper maintenance of facility equipment and systems.
• Daily inspections of containment areas for spills, leaks or potential equipment
problems.
• Daily inspections of stormwater accumulation areas.
• Weekly inspections of creek
• Monthly inspections of outside storage tanks for leaks, damage or equipment
problems.
• Annual inspection of inside tanks.
• Monthly inspections of the chemical process areas.
10.3.3 Release Response and Reporting Procedures
Effective spill and release response and reporting procedures are important because they provide
for rapid response to mitigate the impact of a release. Release response and reporting procedures
for this facility are described in more detail in Section 8. These procedures describe the following
measures that should be implemented upon discovery of a significant release:
• Assess the risk;
• Control the release to the extent possible;
• Report the release to management and government agencies;
CP Engineering and Environmental Solutions 19 SWPP Plan
CPEES Project No 1114-011 SCM-Fletcher Plant
Tel: [phone] Hendersonville Road
Email: [e-mail] ✓=!etcher. NC 28732

Clean up the impacted area as soon as possible; and
Follow up with preventive measures.
10.3.4 Inspections
Regular inspections are a simple way to ensure that all elements of this Plan are in place and
working. inspection and monitoring of materials storage areas is required at the facility to reduce
the potential for spills and to ensure that spills are detected and responded to promptly. Facility
personnel involved with inspection and monitoring are instructed to follow specific procedures.
Aboveground tanks, storage containers, and secondary containment systems containing significant
materials will be subject to periodic visual inspections and integrity testing if necessary. Results of
the inspections should be recorded on log sheets, inspection report forms, or the facility -operating
log. If a corrective action is required, but cannot be taken immediately, a formal repair work orders
should be initiated to ensure a follow-up.
10.3.5 Employee Training
Pollution prevention training for employees who are involved in any of the facility's operations that
have potential to contaminate stormwater runoff or waters of the U.S. is to be held annually.
Training should be documented in the facility's training database or in employee records located at
the facility_ Employees should be trained in the following areas:
• Release Prevention, Reporting, and Response - a review of emergency
procedures, communications, reporting, and cleanup techniques.
Pollution Prevention - a review of the purpose and goal of this Plan, potential
sources of stormwater pollution at the site, BMPs implemented at the site, and the
role employees play to fulfill in pollution prevention.
Additionally, training should be periodically provided as deemed necessary on the following related
topics: Fire Extinguishers and OSHA Hazard Communication.
10.3.6 Record keeping and Internal Reporting Procedures
Good record keeping and reporting procedures help to identify and communicate information about
potential sources of surface water contamination and assure that appropriate measures are taken.
This Plan includes procedures for recording incidents, such as spills or other discharges, along with
other information describing the quality and quantity of potential pollution sources. All pertinent
information regarding a spill will be documented and maintained for three years. Pollution
prevention record keeping and reporting are integrated into current management systems and
include:
The use of a preventive maintenance system such as the Service Cali program, or
an equivalent system, for scheduling applicable preventive maintenance tasks and
inspections,
Required reporting of spills and leaks to Line Management, Facility Environmental
Manager, and Corporate Environmental Department, as listed in Table 3, and
The periodic review of significant safety and environmental incidents and corrective
action progress by a Line and Staff Management Safety Committee.

10.3.7 Spill Cleanup Kits and Materials (see SPCC Plan for details)
Spill cleanup kits, composed of absorbent sheets, pillows, and booms, as appropriate, are
maintained at the facility. They are routinely inspected to keep them stocked and in good working
order. In addition, absorbing materials such as oil -dry or vermiculite should be available at all
times. Spill cleanup kits or materials are typically maintained throughout the facility. Figure 2
displays the location of spill kits throughout the facility.
10.3.8 Spill Cleanup Contractors (see SPCC Plan for details)
In the event of a spill, outside assistance for cleanup may be required. Appendix B lists emergency
response contractors located within a reasonable response time from this facility.
10.3.9 Security (see SPCC Plan, for details)
There is a security fence around the facility and all visitors are required to check -in and -out at the
office. In addition, the area is lighted and is subjected to typical facility security measures.
10.4 Advanced Generic and Site Specific Best Management Practices
Advanced generic BMPs are generic measures or practices that are employed to address specific
sources, materials, or activities that may be present at a facility. They include generic prevention,
containment, and mitigation practices that can be applied to specific sources commonly found at
SCM — Fletcher Batch Concrete Plant facility. A source -specific BMPs that are implemented at
SCM — Fletcher Batch Concrete Plant are listed in Table 2.
10.4.1 Seconds Containment
Secondary containment systems are effective in controlling spills. To be most effective, secondary
containment systems and diversionary structures should meet the following standards:
• The secondary containment systems should Mock possible routes by which spilled or
leaked materials could reasonably be expected to flow, migrate, or escape into
surface waters or upon to the land from the containment areas;
• The secondary containment systems have sufficient capacity to contain the contents
of the largest tank in the containment area plus sufficient freeboard to allow for the
25-year, 24-hour storm, if the system is not inside or covered;
• The secondary containment system is sufficiently impermeable to contain a spilled
material for a duration necessary for the cleanup or recovery of the spilled
substance, -
The secondary containment system is routinely inspected for accumulated liquids,
debris, or incompatible materials;
• No transfer area, curbed storage area, or secondary containment system is drained
into a watercourse or public sewage treatment plant unless provision is made to
retain, by valves or other means, any accumulated material until its condition can be
determined; and
• No incompatible materials are stored within the same containment area.

10.4.2 Loading and Unloading O erations
The following measures are keys to prevent the release of significant materials into wastewater or
stormwater:
• Training - Implementing procedures discussed during personnel training programs,
regular safety meetings, and briefings relative to spill prevention.
• Vehicle positioning - Whenever possible, vehicles should be positioned within spill
containment areas during transfer. Positioning near or over storm drains or sewer
drains should be avoided. Wheel blocks and emergency brakes should be used to
avoid sudden movement of the vehicle. If the vehicle is positioned near a traffic
corridor, traffic barriers should be placed to avoid collisions.
• Pre -positioning of spill kits, booms, or sewer block mats - If spill containment is
not available during loading or unloading, spill mats or booms must be readily
available or pre -positioned to seal any nearby catch basins that could lead directly to
surface water or sewer systems.
• Drip pans - Drip pans or buckets should be used to catch small volume leakage
from transfer hoses or fittings during transfer operations. Captured materials shculd
be reused or properly disposed.
• Overfill prevention - During a pickup, tank truck operators should remain with the
vehicle along with at least one qualified facility employee. Employee training
procedures include instructing operators not to leave the delivery area prior to
checking and disconnecting the transfer line. Prior to material transfer, qualified
facility personnel and the driver should:
• Predetermine the maximum volume of material that can be transferred
without overfilling the tanker, and
• Check the liquid level in the tanker during transfer to avoid overfilling the
tank.
• Pre -inspection of connections, fittings, and hoses - Prior to each loading or
unloading operation, a dock leveling apparatus, connections, hoses and fittings
should be checked to make sure that they are in good working condition. Loading or
unloading areas should be well illuminated if material transfer occurs at night.
10.4.3 Aboveground Storage Tanks (_see SPCC Plan if available for details on oil storage tanks)
The following practices should be implemented for aboveground storage tanks:
All pipes leading to and from aboveground storage tank(s) that enter the tank(s)
below liquid level are equipped with valves sufficiently close to the tank(s). The
purpose of this arrangement is to prevent the contents of a tank from escaping the
confines of the secondary containment area in the event of a pipe rupture that is
outside of the containment area. Any valves that permit the direct outward flow of
tank contents are kept in the closed position when in non -operating or standby
status;
In heavy traffic areas, protective guards should be placed around tanks and piping to
prevent vehicle or forklift damage;
Tanks, associated valves and piping should be clearly labeled to reduce human
error; and
Tanks and associated piping should be routinely inspected for integrity.

10.4.4 Vehicle Maintenance and Repair Not applicable at the pnesent time
Many vehicle and equipment maintenance operations use materials that can be harmful to the
environment. The following practices should be followed at vehicle and equipment maintenance
operations, if practiced, to reduce or eliminate potential sources of pollution:
• Parts washing - Clean without using liquids (e.g., scraper, wire brush) whenever
possible. Do all liquid cleaning at a centralized station so solvents and residues stay
in one area;
• Use nontoxic or low toxicity solvents - Minimize the number and volume of
hazardous materials used. Avoid chlorinated solvents. Choose cleaning agents that
can be recycled;
• Control leaks and drips - Collect leaking fluids in drip pans. Keep a drip pan under
the vehicle while unclipping hoses, unscrewing filters, or removing parts. Control
leaks from wrecked or damaged equipment that may be stored outdoors. Promptly
transfer used fluids to proper waste or recycling containers. Do not leave full drip
pans lying around;
• Drain oil filters - Used oil filters disposed of in trashcans can leak oil and
contaminate surface water. Place used oil filters in a funnel over the waste oil
recycling or disposal collection tank to drain excess oil before disposal. Whenever
possible, crush and recycle oil filters;
• Never pour liquid wastes into drains or onto the ground - Do not pour liquid
waste to floor drains, sinks, or outdoor storm drains;
Recycle materials - Whenever possible, recycle degreasers, used oil and oil filters,
antifreeze, cleaning solutions, automotive batteries, hydraulic fluid, and tires; and
• Segregate and label wastes - Separating wastes allows easier recycling and may
reduce treatment costs. Locate waste and recycling containers in clearly marked
and controlled areas.
10.4.5 Vehicle and Eouipment Washing
Washing trucks and equipment outdoors or in areas where washwater can flow onto the ground can
pollute surface or ground waters. Washwater, especially from cleanup activities, can contain high
concentrations of oil and grease, phosphates, and suspended solids. To reduce or eliminate these
potential sources of pollution:
Use designated cleaning areas only. Washwater is regulated as a process
wastewater. It can only be discharged to a properly permitted sanitary sewer or
process sewer line;
If a permitted sewer line is not available, washwater should be collected in bermed
areas or sumps for offsite disposal; and
As an altemative, offsite commercial washing facilities can be used.

10.4.6 Waste Management Areas Not apRlicable at the present time
Wastes spilled, leaked, or lost from waste management areas, the following practices should be
implemented:
Minimize the amount of waste managed on -site by cleaning the residual material
after each use to prevent buildup of residues;
Prevent run-off and run-on from contacting waste management areas; and
Keep waste containers closed or securely covered.
10.4.7 Transformers
While the transformers near the plant are maintained by the local utility company, the following
practices should be implemented in transformer yard areas to prevent problems:
• Transformers should be visually inspected periodically for evidence of leaks;
• Any signs of leaks should be reported to the local utility;
• Leaks should be cleaned up as soon as possible; and
• Adequate spill kit materials should be available to prevent a leak from reaching a
waterway until the utility can repair or replace the damaged unit.
10.4.8 Drum and Container Storage Areas
The following practices should be implemented at drum and container ("drums") storage areas:
• All drums should be properly labeled;
• Drums that are stored in a horizontal position must be tightly sealed to avoid
seepage through the bung. Drip pans should be placed beneath horizontal drums
that have a dispensing valve installed;
• Drums should be kept closed except when material is being added or withdrawn;
• For drums stored outdoors, drum caps should be used if accumulated rain -water on
the top lip of the drum can cause contamination of the product. Outdoor drums
should be stored off of the ground to prevent bottom corrosion, which could lead to
possible leakage from the drum. Wooden pallets may be used if an impervious
surface is not available;
• Drums should be neatly stored with sufficient access and aisle space;
• Because empty drums often contain residual product, they should be managed
according to the practices listed above, unless they have been thoroughly cleaned;
and
• Leaking drums should be immediately moved to a containment area, placed in a
salvage drum, plugged, or the contents transferred into another drum. Spilled
product should be cleaned up immediately_
10.4.9 Sediment and Erosion Prevention (Not applicable, at the present timel
The following practices should be implemented in areas of high soil erosion potential or during
construction periods:
Preserve existing vegetation or re -vegetate disturbed soil areas,
Stabilize stream banks,
Install interceptor dikes and swales,

11.0 SPILL PREVENTION AND RELEASE RESPONSE & REPORTING
PROCEDURES
The following measures should be implemented upon the discovery of a release:
• Assess the risk,
• Control the release to the extent possible,
• Report the release to management and government agencies,
• Clean up the impacted area as soon as possible, and
• Follow up with preventive measures.
Table 3 provides additional guidance and procedures for dealing with emergency situations,
including releases of significant materials:
11.1 Spill Prevention and Response Plan (SPRP) Team and Responsibilities
The Plant Manager or his designee is the responsible person at the site and he will be on site at all times
during facility operations that have the potential to contaminate stormwater runoff through spills or
exposure of materials associated with the facility operations. The spill prevention and response plan
tear (SPRP) responsible for implementing the spill response are provided in Table 3. The Table 3
contains SPRP members name, title, responsibilities, signature and the date.
11.2 Assess The Risk
The risks presented by a release should be assessed the moment a release is observed or
discovered. Because risks can change throughout an emergency, assessing the risk should
continue throughout the duration of the incident. Employees should react according to their level of
training. Refer to the facility Emergency Response Plan to determine the response level of facility
personnel. A major release may require employees to evacuate. Response by outside emergency
services that are equipped and trained to handle major releases may be required.
11.3 Control The Release
Every effort shall be made to keep a spill from entering the storm or sanitary sewer system. Facility
personnel shall immediately commit all necessary manpower, equipment, and materials required to
prevent the spill from reaching waterways, shorelines, or sewers.
11.3.1 Types of Control Methods
Methods that can be used for controlling spills include:
• Absorption - Use materials such as clay, sawdust, or vermiculite to absorb liquids.
When absorbents become contaminated, they retain the properties of the absorbed
liquid. Therefore, they must be disposed of accordingly;
• Covering - Spill areas can be covered with appropriate materials, such as plastic
sheets, until cleanup efforts can be completed;
• Dikes, dams, diversions, and retention - These temporary or permanent physical
barriers can be used to retain spills, change the direction of flow of the liquid, or

Email. [e-mail] Fletcher, NC 28732

minimize stormwater run-on to the impacted area;
• Overpacking - Leaking drums can be placed in larger containers to hold the leaking
liquid;
• Plug and patch - Compatible plugs and patches can temporarily stop the flow of
materials through small holes; and
• Transfer - Liquids can be transferred from a leaking or damaged container or tank.
Care must be taken to ensure transfer hoses and fittings are compatible with the
liquid. When flammable liquids are transferred, proper concern for grounding must
be observed.
11.3.2 Implementing Control Methods
In general, the control methods listed above for controlling spills should be implemented as follows:
• Spills confined to immediate area - Place sorbent materials in direct contact with
the liquid (outer border of the spill), working inward from the farthest point of
progression of the liquid. A quicker response will result in a smaller contaminated
area.
• Spills escaping from immediate area - If liquid begins to spread outside of the
immediate area, attempts should be made to stop the flow before it enters a
foundation drain, catch basin, or manhole by building up sorbent materials to dike the
sewer entrance. As an alternative, sewer mats or sheets of plastic should be placed
over sewer entrances and weighed down with heavy objects or gravel. In the event
the liquid enters a sewer, sorbent materials should be used at the discharge points or
rr. in the storm and sanitary sewers to collect the material.
Facility personnel should consider, as appropriate, assistance from neighboring
industry, outside contractors, oil skimmers, backhoes, pumps, emergency dikes, oil
absorbent, hay bales, booms, etc.
11.4 Report the Release
Immediately after initiating appropriate emergency measures to confine the release, facility
personnel should report any environmental release to management (i.e., supervisor, production
leader, etc.) in accordance with the Emergency Notification Procedure provided in the facility
Emergency Response Plan. The following procedure describes the method used for reporting spills
and unpermitted environmental releases to government agencies. The procedures ensure
compliance with applicable government regulations and to provide a standard procedure for
responding to and reporting spills and releases.
11.4.1 Reporting Responsibility
The Site Manager, or his/her designee, is responsible for making all necessary telephone
notifications when a release to the environment has occurred. The Site Manager should enlist the
assistance of the Facility ManagerNP Environmental Affairs to make notifications to government
agencies. However, the Site Manager should not delay reporting to government agencies if the
Facility ManagerNP Environmental Affairs is not immediately available. The following list of entities
should be considered for notification when a release occurs:
+ Line Management,
CP Engineering and Environmental Solutions 27 SWPP Plan
CPEES Project No 1114-011 SCM-Fletcher Plant
Tel. [phone] Hendersonville Road
Email. [e-mail] Fletcher, NC 28732

• Facility Manager/VP Environmental Affairs;
Local Sewer Authority;
• Local Fire Department;
• Police Department;
• Local Emergency Planning Committee (SARA Title 111);
• State Emergency Response Commission (SERC) (SARA Title III);
• State and Federal Environmental Agencies;
• Emergency Response Contractor;
• Downstream water users (if any); and
• National Response Center.
11.4.2 Reportin_, Scope
This procedure applies to virtually every spill or release of a significant material at a facility.
Environmental regulations apply to the environment of regulated chemicals above reportable
quantities or in excess of a reporting threshold. The definitions of the terms such as release,
environment, regulated chemical, and reportable quantity vary from agency to agency and are
often broadly interpreted by government agencies. Therefore, when in doubt, Site Managers
should always consult with the Facility ManagerNP Environmental Affairs to determine if reporting
to government agencies is required. There can be severe penalties for failing to notify immediately.
The term environment includes navigable waters or any other surface water, groundwater, drinking
water supply, land surface or subsurface strata, or ambient air within the United States or under the
jurisdiction of the United States.
f
The term release means any spilling, leaking, pumping, pouring, emitting, emptying, discharging,
ejecting, escaping, leaching, dumping, or disposing into the environment.
The term regulated chemical includes the following:
• CERCLA hazardous substance as defined in 40 CFR Part 302.4;
• Extremely Hazardous Substance as.defined in 40 CFR Part 355;
• Oil and petroleum products;
• Hazardous wastes;
+ Excess air emissions which exceed any air permit limits;
• Wastewater excursions which exceed any wastewater discharge permit limits;
• Substances leaking from underground storage tanks; and
• Any unpermitted discharge of water, wastewater, solid waste, or air emission.
Reportable quantities typically found at SCM -- Fletcher Batch Concrete Plant facility consist of
diesel fuel and chemicals_ A spill or release into a containment structure that has not resulted in a
release to the environment does not count toward the reportable quantity (unless the substance
subsequently volatilized into the air). To determine the reportable quantity for a mixture, only the
fraction of regulated chemical in the mixture counts toward the reportable quantity.

11.4.3 Pre -Planning
The Facility ManagerNP Environmental Affairs should familiarize facility personnel with all aspects
of release reporting including the types of chemicals at the facility that must be reported when
released, the procedure for making telephone notifications, the agencies that must be contacted,
and the order of contact.
The Facility ManagerNP Environmental Affairs should also ensure that the list of agencies,
emergency response contractors, and emergency telephone numbers found in Appendix B are
readily available and up to date. Where a facility is located adjacent to or on the site of a customer,
the Facility Manager should determine in advance how and when the customer wishes to be
notified in case of a spill or release. The customer should also be informed of this release reporting
procedure so that they are informed and prepared should government agencies visit the facility in
response to a release.
11.4.4 Telephone Notifications to Government Agencies
The following procedures should be followed when making telephone notifications to government
agencies.
Report within 24 hours
When in doubt, report immediately. The time allowed for reporting a release varies from agency to
agency. When in doubt, the Site Manager or his designee should report immediately. Agencies
have imposed significant fines and penalties for delayed reporting of releases.
Start with local agencies first
r l . When making emergency telephone notifications, start with local agencies first, then proceed to
contact state agencies, and lastly federal agencies. This order of priority is important because local
agencies are impacted the most_ As these notifications are made, let the next agency contact know
who has been previously contacted. This will help streamline communications should the various
agencies begin to contact each other. Spills or releases into the local sewer system must be
reported to the local sewer authority.
What to report
When making a telephone notification, do not speculate. Report only the fact as known at the time
the call is made. Be prepared to provide the following information:
• The chemical name or identity of any substance involved in the release;
• An indication of whether the substance is an Extremely Hazardous Substance;
• An estimate of the quantity of any such substance that was released;
• The time and duration of the release;
• The medium or media into which the release occurred;
• Any known or anticipated acute or chronic health risks associated with the
emergency and where appropriate, advice regarding medical attention necessary for
exposed individuals;
• Proper precautions taken because of the release, including evacuation; and
• The names and telephone numbers of the person or persons to be contacted for
further information.

r
Keep a telephone notification log
It is important to document calls made to government agencies. Log C2 of Appendix C should be
used to document telephone notifications as well as other information about the environmental
incident. Notification information to be documented includes:
• Dateltime of call;
Agency and officials contacted;
Who made the call; and
• Any comments made by officials, including any reference number assigned to the
incident by the agency.
As soon as possible, after making these agency notifications, notify Line Management and the
Facility ManagerNP Environmental Affairs.
Other notifications may be required
Additional notifications may be necessary depending on the nature of the release and substance
involved. Spills or overfills from underground storage tanks, or suspected tank leaks must be
reported to the appropriate Federal or State underground storage tank program implementing
agency within 24 hours.
According to North Carolina Stormwater General Permit, No.NCG140000, SCM - Fletcher Batch
Concrete Plant must provide orally within 24 hours to the appropriate regional office any
noncompliance or violation of discharge limitations which may endanger health or the environment.
` A written submission to the same agency must be provided within 5 days of the time that the
facility became aware of the circumstances of the non-compliance.
11.5 Clean Up The Impacted Area
Cleanup should begin as soon as possible. The Site Manager or his designee should enlist all
available resources to stop the spill or release. Local spill response contractors, who can provide
typical containment and clean up services, are identified in Appendix B.
The Facility ManagerNP Environmental Affairs should be contacted to determine and arrange for
proper treatment, storage, and disposal of spilled materials. Spill cleanup contractors should not be
allowed to dispose of spill residue until an approved or the Facility ManagerNP Environmental
Affairs has identified acceptable disposal facility. The Facility ManagerNP Environmental Affairs
will also assist in determining the extent of remediation required.
11.6 Follow Up Action
The Site Manager shall review the cause of the spill or release and initiate appropriate corrective
actions to prevent similar occurrences. Additionally, all spill kits and sorbing material should be
restocked.
The Facility ManagerNP Environmental Affairs will be responsible for preparing and submitting any
written follow-up reports required by government agencies and for reporting the release to Senior
Management through the a Reporting System, as well as updating this plan, as appropriate.

12.0 ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS FOR SWPP PLANS
12.1 Site Inspections
12_1__1_ Visual Site Inspection (Monthly)
Visual site inspection shall be conducted monthly to evaluate the following:
• Monthly check of each outfall;
• Visual evidence of pollutants entering the stormwater drainage system;
• Best management practices are adequate and properly implemented;
• Stormwater structural features and sediment controls are operating properly; and
• Spill response equipment is in proper working condition.
Logs E1 contained in Appendix E or equivalent are useful checklists that can be used to summarize
the results of visual inspections of the outfalls, pollution sources and the stormwater data,
respectively. The schedule for this inspection should be included in the preventive maintenance
checklist, or in another similar task tickler system used by the facility. The inspection should
include, but is not limited to, the following areas:
• Areas around all process equipment;
• Areas where spills and leaks have occurred;
• Material storage areas (tanks, drum storage, etc.);
• Loading/Unloading areas;
Waste management areas; and
• Stormwater outfalis and control features.
Table 1 provides a comprehensive inventory of significant materials used at the facility and sources
that can potentially impact stormwater. It should therefore be used as a visual inspection checklist
and kept as a record of the inspection. It should also be expanded or updated as necessary if
sources or conditions change around the facility.
12.1.2 Comprehensive Site Inspections
One of the core stormwater requirements is to complete an annual Comprehensive Site
Compliance Evaluation (Log E2) for use in the review and update of the SWPP Plan. Member (s)
of the Pollution Prevention Team will conduct inspections annually of the facility and all stormwater
systems. This evaluation provides a basis for evaluating the overall effectiveness of the SWPP
Plan. The evaluation Form provide in Appendix G includes the following elements:
A visual inspection of the site;
Based on the results of the inspection, the SWPP Plan will be revised. Additional
measures and controls, as necessary, will be implemented; and
A written report summarizing the results of the annual evaluation.
12.1.3 Implementation of Changes
Based on the results of the monthly visual inspection or the annual inspections, the SWPP Plan
shall be revised on an annual basis and the following sections updated, as necessary:

discharges and that results indicated on Log F1 are accurate.
The non-stormwater assessment evaluation conducted to -date at the site is provided in Appendix F.
12.3 Record of Discharge from the Secondary Containment
Secondary containment is required for: bulk storage of liquid materials, storage in any amount of Section
313 of Title III of the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA) water priority chemicals,
and storage in any amount of hazardous substances, in order to prevent leaks and spills from
contaminating stormwater runoff. All valves to the secondary containments shall be locked at all times
and shall be manually activated for any release of stormwater accumulated in them. Stormwater
collected in the secondary containment shall be visually evaluated first, by a responsible employee
of the facility, for color, foam, outfall staining, visible sheens and dry weather flow, prior to release.
Records documenting the individual making the observation, the description of the accumulated
stormwater, and the date and time of the release shall be kept for a period of five years. Log F2 in
Appendix F shall be used for the stormwater release from the secondary containment.
12.4 Sampling Data Log
Appendix G includes a log where a summary of all sampling conducted will be entered in an easy to
review format.
12.5 Training
Pollution prevention training for employees who are involved in any of the facility's operations that
have potential to contaminate stormwater runoff or waters of the U.S. is to be held annually.
Training should be documented in the facility's training database or in employee records located at
the facility. The facility personnel responsible for training shall include:
Spill response and clean-up
Preventive maintenance activities
Operations that would potentially contaminate stormwater runoff
The responsible party for employee training is identified in Table 3. The documentation of the

NPDES General Permit No.: NCG 140000
Certificate of Coverage: NCG 140160
Dear Mr, Pickle:
On behalf of Southern Concrete Materials (SCM), CP Engineering and Environmental Solutions
(CPEES) is pleased to submit attached "As -Built" drawings and PE certification to satisfy the NC
Division of Water Quality —Stormwater Section requirements. A couple of minor field
modifications were made for convenience from the original drawings and they were:
l . Pit 1 position was interchanged with Pit 3;
2. The sludge drying area changed accordingly to allow water from sludge drying area to
go into Pit 1;
3. Pit 3 was not made as a straight basin, instead, left the slope like the other two basins for
easy cleaning purposes.
"These physical modifications did not jeopardize the volume required for a 25 yr and 24-hr storm
event as shown on the attached calculations.
CPEES and SCM appreciate your cooperation on the progress of this project and please let me
know at [phone] if you need any additional information.

1.0 FACILITY DESCRIPTION
Southern Concrete Materials -Fletcher Plant located at 4840 Hendersonville Road, Fletcher,
Henderson County, North Carolina, is a dry batch ready mix concrete plant for commercial
supply. The primary Standard Industrial Classification (SIC Code) for the facility is 3273
(Ready Mixed Concrete). The approximate location of the facility on a US Geological Survey
Map is provided on Figure 1. The geographic site location can also be given as 35" 24, 55.451'
North Latitude and 820 30" 25.88" West Longitude. The subject facility is surrounded by light
manufacturing and commercial sites on east and south sides of the property. The north side of
the property is wooded area with an unnamed tributary. On the west side, a railroad track and
Dixie Highway are bordering the property. The details of surrounding properties are displayed
on Figure 2. The Fletcher Plant occupies approximately 6.7 acres of land and out of which,
approximately 1.7 acres of area is paved with concrete. An unnamed tributary on the northern
side discharges stormwater from the Fletcher Plant to Cane Creek located approximately 1.0
mile north of the property. Based on my discussion with NC Division of Water Quality, it is
our understanding that Cane Creek is classified as Class C (see attached table obtained from
NC DENR — Division of Water Quality Section web site for details -Attachment D). The
stormwater from the facility is carried to the unnamed tributary located on the north side of the
facility by two swales bordering the site on east and west sides of the property (Figure 3). The
Fletcher Plant consists of an office building, a ready mix concrete plant next to the office
building, cement and fly -ash silos at the ready mix plant, an aboveground fuel oil tank with a
secondary containment, an enclosed small tool shed, a concrete secondary containment for
admixture tanks, sand and gravel storage areas, and a concrete truck drum wash area. Fletcher .
Plant has approximately 10 trucks and operates 8 hrs/day, 5 days/wk and 30 to 50 wks/year
depending upon weather conditions.
2.0 FACILITY OPERATIONS
The facility operations include: a dry batch concrete plant with vacuum system for dust control
(no water sprinklers are attached to the concrete truck loading chute for dust suppression),
cement and fly -ash silos with a dust control central vacuum system, sand and gravel storage
areas with no water sprinkler system (dry storage areas) and a truck washing area.
Based on the request from the user. the sand. gravel, and cement and tlyash are loaded into a
weigh scale which drops the dry mix into cement trucks as a dry batch concrete mix. During
the truck loading process, vacuum is applied around the loading chute to suppress any cement
i particulate dust that is being generated. The dust extracted from the loading chute area is
processed through a NC DENR Division ol'Air Quality permitted bag filter system before

released into the atmosphere. The loaded cement truck with concrete mix is brought to a truck
washing area for a surficial wash before goes out for the delivery. Occasionally, any left over
concrete in the concrete drum is washed of at the plant in a truck washing bay. Thus, process
water is being generated at the plant for either recycling or disposal. Based on our
understanding of the facility operations, all chemical and oil tanks / drums are located in
secondary containment dikes with dike valves in shut position. Therefore, no oily water or
stormwater contaminated with chemicals are being released to the environment from the
facility.
The facility has a NPDES General Permit (NCG 140000) with a certificate of coverage
COCNCG140160 to discharge stormwater from the subject facility operations. To meet the
NPDES General Stormwater Permit requirements, a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan
(SWPP Plan) with Best Management Practices for potential stormwater pollutant sources was
prepared and implemented at the site in January, 2002.
In addition, all truck drums and drum chutes are washed at the end of the day before parked
for good. Therefore, the locations where process washwater is being generated at the plant
are:
• Surficial cleaning of the drum before leaving the site,
• Cement drum washing if left over concrete is brought back to the plant; and
• Drum and drum chutes cleaning at the end of the day.
3.0 PROCESS WASHWATER CALCULATIONS
Based on our discussions with the Fletcher Plant Manager, it is our understanding that
approximately 40 to 45 batches per day are completed in the summer time and 25 batches per
day are completed in the winter time using 10 trucks. Approximately 5 to 10 gals of water are
used for surficial washing of the truck per batch. Approximately 5 to 10 gals of water are used
to wash drum chutes per truck per day at the end of the day. Approximately 200 gals per day
per drum are used to wash at the end of the day.

4.0 STORMWATER RUNOFF CALCULATIONS FOR A 25 YEAR AND
24-HR RAIN EVENT
According NC DENR-Division of Water Quality NPDES General Stormwater Permit
requirements, recycle systems are considered wastewater treatment per 15A NCAC 2H .0203
and all wastewater discharges must meet a total suspended solids (TSS) limit of 30 mg/l, a
settleable solids (SS) limit of 5 m111, and pH between 6-9 SU or must demonstrate that the
recycle system has sufficient capacity to contain 25-year, 24-hr rainfall event plus one foot of
freeboard under the design operating conditions.
To obtain an economic and workable solution to the proposed recycling system design, the
truck washing operations and process washwater generating points are all brought to one
location to reduce the drainage area for 25-yr, 24-hr calculations. Approximately 11,492 sq ft
or 0.27 acres of area including the pit system designed for the process 1 stormwater recycling
is expected to contribute to the process washwater from the facility (Figure 3). All washing
operations beyond this designated area are prohibited at the facility and the drivers will be
trained to adhere to this new policy for meeting the Stormwater regulations. CPEES has
performed stormwater calculations for a 25-yr, 24-hr rain event for 0.5 and 0.3 acres and
approximately 10,900 cubic feet (eft) and 6,403 cft of runoff capacity, respectively, is required
to hold the designed rain event_ The runoff volume and weir design calculations are provided
in Attachment A.
Please note, during a rain event, no plant operations will be conducted. Therefore, no
washwater is accounted for in the proposed recycle system design when 25-yr, 24-hr rain
event for stormwater is considered.
5.0 pH ADJUSTMENT FOR THE RECYCLE SYSTEM
Southern Concrete Materials has been currently using Carbon Dioxide Systems to control pH
in the process washwater generated at some of their facilities. It is proven very efficient to
control pH with carbon dioxide since carbon dioxide when mixed with water forms carbonic
acid. It is a weak acid which would neutralize alkaline solution (cement washwater) generated
at the paint.
Carbonic acid, has the lm-ipiii/a 112CO3. It i.v u1so a name sometimes given to tEdiet fwir of

In addition, it has also proven to be having a secondary benefit in reducing total suspended
and settleable solids concentration considerably from the process washwater and stormwater
recycle system. A copy of analytical test results obtained from NC certified laboratory,
Environmental Testing Solutions, for a similar site - SCM Biltmore Plant in Biltmore, North
Carolina is provided in Attachment B for the State review. The manufacturer supplied
literature for Carbon Dioxide System is provided in Attachment C.
6.0 STORMWATER / PROCESS WASHWATER RECYCLE SYSTEM
DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION DETAILS
The proposed recycle system is designed to capture all process washwater and stormwater
from a 25-yr, 24-hr rainfall event from the subject plant wash areas. The recycle system is
designed to hold entire runoff amount from the designed storm event. The approximate
drainage area involved in the process washwater is estimated to be 03 acres (Figure 3). The 25
year, 24-hr runofTvolume from this drainage area is estimated to be 6,403 cft. A recycle
system designed for the estimated runoff is a three pit system (Figure 4). Of the three, two pits
were designed to hold the entire 25 year, 24-hr run off volume. The third pit was designed to
hold an additional capacity for any emergencies. Please note SCM strives very hard to control
and mitigate migration of any contaminated stormwater from the facility to the waters of US.
Appropriate berms and walls are proposed to isolate the 0.3 acres of drainage area for the
washwater / stormwater recycling operations (Figure 3).
The first two pits in the three pit recycling system were sloped at the entrance for a front-end
loader to go into the pit for a periodic cleanup. The third pit was designed to be a rectangular
holding tank for the treated water and the water from this pit would be used for recycling
either into the plant or for the truck washing operations. The cross -sectional and construction
details of the pits are shown on Figure 5.
CPEES designed a pit sludge storage area next to the track washing operations in order to
control stormwater flow that is in contact with the pit sludge. The slopes of the truck washing
operations and the pit sludge storage area are directed toward the first pit of the three pit
recycling system in order to control and mitigate migration of stormwater contamination from
the washing operations.
The location of the three pit recycling system along with stormwater flow directions and wash
areas are displayed on Figure 2. The construction details for the three pit system are displayed
on Figure 3 and 4. In addition to the three pit system, the proposed carbon dioxide system in
the three pit recycle system will enhance additional removal of Total Suspended Solids (l'SS)
and Settleable Solids (SS), and also adjust pH to suit process water for recycling: at the plant.
The location of the carbon dioxide system is displayed on Figure 3. The 27 year, '4-hr
stormwater runoff calculations are provided in Table l of this report.

A sump pump with a level switch will be provided to pump water from the third pit as
required either to the plant or to the truck washing operations. This would help empty the
third pit to accommodate any possible rain event.
7.0 A to C CONSTRUCTION PERMIT APPLICATION
Based on our consultants' discussions with the State DWQ, it is our understanding that we
need to file a NCG 140000 Notice of Intent (NOI) Form to obtain A to C Permit to construct '
the proposed process washwater / stormwater recycle system at the Fletcher Plant. A copy of
the NCG 140000 NOI is attached with the A to C Report for an approval.

To Obtain runoff depths for Wx
and other rainW
amuntg
not Shown
in this table, use an arithmetic
interpftticn.
` be volume of runoff from the site can be calculated by multiplying the
area Of the siw by the runoff' depth.
Step 4. D=rrnift tM pea rife of runoff for the design Sturm by adjusting for
watershed Shy as follows
a. Determine an "equivalent drainsge vW from the hydraulic dcngtth of iho
waoexshed using ftwe 8.03n. Hydraulic length is the length of the flow
path from the moc mmotc point in 1itCwatashcd to tltc point of discharge.
b. Dct=inc the discharge (cfsruich of nmaf) for ft equivalent dtaimage
area from Figure 9.03o through 9.03q:
Figure 8.03o - for averzge watershed slopes 0-3%
Figure 8.03p - fox average watershed slopes 3-7%
Fig= 8.03q - for avmgc watershed slopes 8-50%

PURPOSE
G.C_ Environmental, Inc., was contracted to provide an engineers review and certification that the
Model 5000-S pH Monitor and Control System manufactured by Coastal Carolina Supply in
Morehead City, NC, could effectively provide on a continuous basis, an average pH range of 6-9 units
on the supernate layer of a stormwaterfrinse water sedimentation basin typically found at Redi-mix
concrete facilities.
SCOPE OF WORK
During the week of August 11, 2003, G.C_ Environmental, Inc., witnessed the operation ofthe Model
5000-S self-contained pH Monitoring and Control System at a Redi-mix plant located in Durham, NC.
During the two (2) day test program, measurements were made within the facilities stormwater/rinse
water sedimentation basin for pH, temperature and depth (both supernate and sludge). During the first
day oftesting, the basin was found to be heavily loaded with solids and adjustments were made to the
solids blanket to complete testing the following day.
TEST METHODOLOGY
A primary sedimentation basin located at a Redi-mix concrete plant located in Durham, NC was
treated utilizing the Model 5000-S pH Monitor and Control System_ During the test program, the
basin was, on a semi -continuous basis, being fed rinse water from the exterior cleaning of cement
trucks. Measurements for pH, temperature, supemate and sludge blankets were made within the
sedimentation basin. Initial pH measurements showed pH levels of at least 12.0 units. The
sedimentation basin was rectangular in shape with concrete walls and bottom. The basin ranged in
depth of 1 " at the inlet to approximately Tat the deepest point. Sludge measurements within the basin
showed that at least 2/3 of the basins depth was comprised of sludge and the remainder supernate.
The Model 5000-S pH Monitor and Control System was set up at the rectangular sedimentation basin
with the intake and discharge hoses situated at opposite ends of the basin_ Both the intake and
discharge lines were set at depths within the supernate layer of the basin. A clockwise flow pattern
was established once the unit began operation and pH and temperature measurements were made at
several locations throughout the supernate layer of the sedimentation basin. Approximately eighteen
(18) pH and temperature measurements were collected with a mean pH value of 8.56 and mean
temperature values of 30.94 'C. The pH system was left to run essentially on a continuous basis over
a four (4) hour period. An estimated volume existing within the sedimentation basin was 25, 000
gallons with a little over 8000 gallons consisting of relatively clear supernate. The amount of 25%

Sulfuric acid (H7SO4) used to treat the sedimentation basins supernate was approximately 18-20
gallons.
MODEL 5000-S PH MONITOR AND CONTROL SYSTEM
The model 5000-S pH Monitor and Control System is comprised of a Hayward Power Flow II (3/4
hp, 56 GPM) centrifugal pump which delivers raw water to a completely contained pH sensor
connected to a pH meter equipped with control relays which operate two (2) sterner (60 GPD) acid
injection pumps. The acid 25% H2SO4 is injected into the pump discharge line which empties into the
sedimentation basin. Sulfuric acid is delivered to the system by 15 gallon carbuoys located outside of
the fiberglass weatherproof enclosure which houses all of the aforementioned equipment. On top of
the enclosed is an alarm light which is tied into the pH meter which is activated when pH levels exceed
8.5 pH units or are below 6.0 units.
CONCLUSION
I _ The Model 5000-S pH Monitor and Control System is an effective system for the pH balancing of
sedimentation basins which are used to collect stormwater runoff and rinse water, commonly found
at Red -mix concrete plants.
2. During the test program an average pH of 8.54 units was measured in the subject sedimentation
basin with a range of 7.95 to 9.34 measured_
3. Sludge levels existing within the rectangular sedimentation ranged from 6.0 inches to 2.0 feet. PH
values after pH stabilization at the sludge/supennate interface were approximately 12.0 units
4. For this test program, approximately 180 mg/1 of sulfates were added to the sedimentation basin as
a result of pH adjustment with 25% sulfuric acid.
5_ The 5000-S pH Monitor and Control System is fully automated and provides a pH adjusted waste
water which could effectively be reused within the Redi-mix concrete industry.
