Submit a written request for remission including a detailed justification for such request: Please be aware that.a request. for -remission -is -limited to consideration- of the -five factors listed below as they may relate to the reasonableness of the amount of the civil penalty assessed. Requesting remission is not the proper procedure for contesting whether the violation(s) occurred or the accuracy of any of the factual statements contained in the civil penalty assessment document. Because a remission request forecloses the option of an administrative hearing, such a request must be accompanied by a waiver of your right to an administrative hearing and a stipulation and agreement that no factual or legal issues are in dispute. Please prepare a detailed statement that establishes why you believe the civil penalty should be remitted, and submit it to the Division of Water Quality at the address listed below. In determining whether a remission request will be approved, the following factors shall be considered: (1) whether one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in NCGS 143B-282.1(b) were wrongfully applied to the detriment of the violator; (2) whether the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from the violation; (3) whether the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident; (4) whether the violator has been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations; or (5) whether payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remainingnecessary remedial actions. Please note that all evidence presented in support of your request for remission must be submitted in writing. The Director of the Division of Water Quality will review your evidence and inform you of his decision in the matter of your remission request. The response will provide details regarding the case status, directions for payment, and provision for further appeal of the penalty to the Environmental Management Commission's Committee on Civil Penalty Remissions (Committee).

Poupart, Wastewater'Bra.nch Manager, Water Quality Permitting Section of DWR, make the following: I. FINDINGS OF FACT A. APAC - Atlantic, Inc., is an corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of Tennessee, d/b/a Harrison Construction. B. APAC - Atlantic, Inc., d/b/a Harrison Construction operates a business located at 1188 Smoky Park Highway in Buncombe County, North Carolina. C. On February 14, 2014, a release of number 2 off -road diesel fuel occurred at the subject facility from a 20,000 gallon above ground storage tank. A ball valve in piping associated with the subject tank failed releasing diesel fuel into the secondary containment structure. Subsequent estimates based on inventory records indicate 4,917 gallons of fuel were released from the tank. An open drain valve at the base of the secondary containment allowed diesel fuel to escape the containment structure. Diesel fuel flowed from the containment structure across a parking lot and along ditches and stormwater drainage features ultimately reaching Hominy Creek; a tributary of the French Broad River. A volume of 1,900 gallons was retained in the secondary containment structure and subsequently removed. D. On February 14, 2014, Mr. Don Mason of Harrison Construction notified the Asheville Regional Office of DWR and the National Response Center of the release. Mr. G. Landon Davidson of the Asheville Regional Office of DWR visited the site that day. -y--- - W E. Mr. Davidson observed diesel fuel present in the secondary containment structure around the above ground storage tank, on paved surfaces, in ditches, in the stormwater retention pond and pooled in front of several make -shift soil berms used to deter the flow of fuel downslope. A vacuum truck full of fuel/water mix was leaving the site when Mr. Davidson arrived. The stormwater inlet had been temporarily plugged and absorbent pads and hay bales were present on the banks of Hominy Creek near the stormwater outlet area which was covered with rip rap and not readily visible. At the time of the site visit, the secondary containment outlet valve was closed and locked. Mr. Mason provided details regarding the release to Mr. Davidson including a summary of onsite activities that were implemented shortly after the release was first noticed. F. At the time of the site visit by Mr. Davidson, contractors for Harrison Construction were placing oil absorbent booms downstream of the release area. The booms were being placed in locations near where the Enka Fire Department had received complaints of strong fuel oil odor near homes adjacent to Hominy Creek. Oil absorbent booms were placed at multiple locations along Hominy Creek and the last boom placed upstream of the confluence with the French Broad River. G. Mr. Davidson notified Mr. Mason that Mr, Tim Neil of the EPA Emergency Response and Removal Branch was enroute to the site. Upon arrival, Mr. Neil and Mr. Davidson jointly directed Harrison staff and contractors to continue removing diesel fuel product from the site throughout the night. H. Harrison Construction staff stated to Mr. Davidson that diesel fuel was observed in Hominy Creek shortly after the release was first noticed. Later in the evening of February 14th, Mr. Davidson observed a petroleum sheen in Hominy Creek. On February 15, 2014, Mr. Davidson and Mr. Neil observed a petroleum sheen on the French Broad River, below the confluence with Hominy Creels. At that time, Hominy Creek had multiple soft absorbent booms installed at several locations. Beginning on February 15th, additional hard booms and soft absorbent booms were placed in Hominy Creek at six locations including a multiple boom series at the site of the release. Harrison staff and contractors were instructed to maintain the booms and provide daily reports until the booms were removed. The last boom maintenance report was recorded on February 26`h at which time no petroleum sheen was observed on.the remaining three booms. A silvery sheen of petroleum product was last observed on Hominy Creels and reported in a boom maintenance report by Harrison contractors on February 24". Based upon the above Findings of Fact, I make the following: II. CONCLUSIONS OF LAW A. APAC - Atlantic, Inc., d/b/a Harrison Construction is a "person" within the meaning of G.S. 143-215.77(13). B. Hominy Creek, a tributary to the French Broad River, constitutes waters of the State within the meaning of G.S. 143-215.77(18). C. The number 2 off -road diesel fuel discharged by APAC - Atlantic, Inc., d/b/a Harrison Construction on February 14, 2014 was "oil" within the meaning of G.S. 143-215.77(8). D. APAC - Atlantic, Inc., d/b/a Harrison Construction violated G:S. 143-215.83 by discharging oil into or upon any water or lands within this State. E. APAC - Atlantic, Inc., d/b/a Harrison Construction violated the stream standard set forth in 15A NCAC 02B .0211(3)(f) by causing a petroleum sheen on the French Broad River and multiple segments of Hominy Creek. F. G.S. 143-215.88A provides, in addition to any other penalty provided by law, that a civil penalty of not more than. $5,000 per violations may be assessed against any person who intentionally or negligently discharges oil or other hazardous substance, or knowingly causes or permits the discharge of oil in violation of Article 21 A of Chapter 143 of the General Statutes, or fails to report a discharge as required by G.S. 143-215.85, or who fails to comply with the requirements of G.S. 143-215.84. G. In accordance with the maximums established by G.S. 143-215.6A(a)(2), a civil penalty may be assessed against any person who violates any standard established pursuant to G. S. 143.215. If any action or failure is continuous, the Secretary may assess a penalty not to exceed twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000) per day for so long as the violation continues, unless otherwise stipulated. H. The Wastewater Branch Manager of the Water Quality Permitting Section, Division of Water Resources, pursuant to delegation provided by the Secretary of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources and the Director of the Division of Water Resources, has the authority to assess civil penalties in this matter. Based upon the above Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law, I make the following: III.

Herbert, PE North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources Division of Energy, Mineral and Land Resources Land Quality Section 2090 US Highway 70 Swannanoa, NC 28778 Re: Notice of Violation Dear Ms. Herbert: HARRISON MAR 2 7 2014 ality Section APAC-Atlantic„ Inc. dlb/a Harrison Construction ("Harrison") received the notice of violation dated February 26, 2014 and provides the following response and attached documents. As you noted, the inspection results were provided to Harrison on January 31, 2014. Given the extreme weather experienced in the area, there were a limited number of working days since the inspection. The processes at the site were under review and, in combination with the events of February 141h, it was decided that all secondary containment drainage valves for facilities in the Asheville region will be negated. This has or will be done by sealing closed the drains with cement. While the appearance of a valve may remain, it will have no functionality. Drainage of accumulated stormwater will now be accomplished with a manually activated sump pump. The stormwater collected in the containment area is to be visually inspected for contamination and, if indicators of contamination are absent, the water will be drained using a manually inserted electric sump pump in conjunction with a precautionary "oily water filter". The secondary containment drains at the Enka facility were sealed in early March 2014. Additionally the need for the outdoor bulk oil secondary containment at the facility will be eliminated and removed. The AST's used to store motor oil, hydraulic oil, used oil and used antifreeze have been relocated indoors within a new secondary containment. These changes are being made to the SPPPs along with personnel changes, additional training, piping inspections at the Enka site. Per your request, the text and revision pages of the SPPP for the Enka site as well as available records regarding releases from secondary containments are enclosed. P.O.

Asheville Division —Enka Asphalt Plant Page 1 1.0 Executive Summary The intent of this plan is to provide APAC Atlantic, Inc. (APAC) with a management tool that includes the necessary steps for reducing or eliminating potential discharges of stormwater pollutants from the Enka Asphalt Plant located at 1188 Smoky Park Highway in Candler, North Carolina. This document has been developed in compliance with the requirements for a stormwater pollution prevention plan (SWPPP), as described in the North Carolina General Permit No. NCG160000 to Discharge Stormwater under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES), associated with activities classified as establishments primarily engaged in Asphalt Paving Mixtures and Blacks. A copy of the General Permit is included in Appendix A. Where appropriate, this plan has incorporated existing procedures for pollution prevention. The plan is divided into the following sections: • Section 2.0 includes a statement from the APAC management indicating that the procedures and requirements of the SWPPP will be implemented as described in this plan. This section also includes a distribution list for the plan. • Section 3.0 summarizes the reasons for developing the plan; i.e., the objective of the plan. • Section 4.0 presents the information about the site for which the plan was developed. • Section 5.0 describes the responsibilities and roles of the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Team (SWPPT). • Section 6.0 describes potential pollutants that may be found in stormwater discharges from the plant. • Section 7.0 summarizes the stormwater management controls already implemented by the facility. Generally, these include Best Management Practices (BMP) and Employee Training. This section also includes an evaluation of feasible changes to eliminate or reduce material, equipment, and operation exposure to stormwater. • Section 8.0 describes the spill prevention and response plan, compliance evaluations, record keeping, and reporting requirements related to stormwater management. This section also includes instructions for amending the SWPPP. Implementation of the plan requires the completion of the tasks described herein, which include the following: • Stormwater Pollution Prevention Team Designation: The members of the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Team are listed in Appendix B. The team members shall schedule and hold meetings regarding compliance with the procedures in this plan and the requirements of the General Permit on as -needed basis.

F:\HARRISON\HARRISON\Main Quarry And Asphalt Folders\Enka\NPDES\SWPPP\SWPPP-Final Revised 3 2014.Docx Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan Revision 1: March 20, 2012 APAC Atlantic, Inc. Asheville Division —Enka Asphalt Plant Page 4 3.0 Introduction 3.1 Background This Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) is being revised by Alta mont Environmental, Inc. (Altamont) for APAC Atlantic, Inc. (APAC). The Enka plant is located at 1188 Smoky Park Highway in Candler, North Carolina. A site location map is included as Figure 1. In 1987, the United States Congress passed the Water Quality Act Amendments to the Clean Water Act. The amendments required the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to develop regulations for stormwater discharges associated with industrial activities. The regulations became effective in December 1990 and are known as Phase I of the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) regulations. Through monitoring and regulating stormwater discharge quality, the goal of the NPDES stormwater program is to reduce the pollutant load in stormwater runoff. Under Phase I of the NPDES Stormwater Program, the EPA required NPDES permit coverage for stormwater discharges from the following: • Medium and large municipal separate storm sewer systems (MS4s) located in incorporated places or counties with populations of 100,000 or more • Eleven categories of industrial activity, which include construction activities disturbing five or more acres of land Operators of the system, facilities, and construction sites regulated under the Phase I NPDES Stormwater Program must obtain permit coverage for the stormwater discharge leaving sites. In North Carolina, the EPA delegated authority to administer the NPDES program to North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR). General permits have been established for several categories of industrial activity. Hot mix asphalt production facilities, such as the APAC Enka plant, are permitted to discharge stormwater under the authority of General Permit Number NCG160000 (Appendix A). The Enka plant is specifically permitted to discharge stormwater by the Certificate of Coverage No. NCG160106. This permit expires at midnight on September 30, 2014. 3.2 Objective and Purpose of the SWPPP The Certificate of Coverage requires development of an SWPPP for each facility covered by General Permit Number NCG160000, Part II, Section A. In accordance with DENR guidelines, this SWPPP satisfies the following objectives: • Identifies potential sources of pollution at the facility • Describes the methods by which the facility will reduce the amounts of pollutants that may be potentially carried from the property in discharging stormwater • Describes the methods by which the facility will maintain compliance with the permit F:\HARRISON\HARRISON\Main Quarry And Asphalt Folders\Enka\NPDES\SWPPP\SWPPP-Final Revised 3 2014.Docx Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan Revision 1: March 20, 2012 APAC Atlantic, Inc. Asheville Division —Enka Asphalt Plant Page 5 4.0 Site Description 4.1 General Information Name of Facility: Harrison Construction Division of APAC Atlantic Inc. —Enka Asphalt Plant Address: PO Box 449 Franklin NC 28744 Location: 1188 Smoky Park Highway, Candler, Buncombe County, North Carolina 28715 (see Site Location Map —Figure 1) Nearest Surface Water: Hominy Creek (see Site Location Map —Figure 1) Emergency Contact: Don Mason, Environmental Manager Work Phone: (828) 524-5455 (office] Emergency Phone: (828) 421-0448 (mobile) Secondary Contact: David Conard, Superintendent Work Phone: (828) 665-1180 Emergency Phone: (828) 243-2061 (mobile] SIC Code and Type of Activity: Industrial activities at the APAC facility include mainly the hot mix asphalt production with vehicle maintenance activities, materials storage, handling, and processes. The activities are described by SIC Code 2951. Operating Schedule: Operates 24 hours per day, 7 days per week 4.2 Stormwater Discharge The facility is located within the French Broad River watershed, bordered to the south by Hominy Creek. The plant operates and maintains approximately 17.6 acres, which are leased from Vulcan Materials Quarry. The general topography at the site is hilly with a significant slope toward the east (Vulcan Materials Quarry) and toward the south of the property (Hominy Creek). The exterior grounds are either paved with asphalt, have a gravel and sand surface, or are covered with a good stand of vegetation. The majority of the site is covered with impervious surfaces. The site is paved where most of the industrial activities occur. The slope above Hominy Creek is seeded and mulched to provide a more stable base for vegetation and to reduce sediment running off into the creek. Stormwater runoff is conveyed by subsurface piping and drainage ditches into a sediment pond and sediment basin and eventually discharges via stormwater outfalls to Hominy Creek, in accordance with General Permit Number NCG160000 (Appendix A). Stormwater runoff also sheet flows across the industrial portions of the site. The outfall locations are described in the following section. 4.3 Stormwater Discharge Outfalls Stormwater runoff from the APAC Enka Asphalt Plant discharges at three locations referred to herein as Stormwater Discharge Outfalls (SDOs). The locations of the three SDOs (001 [lab], 002 [shop], and 003 [stockpile]) relative to the plant are indicated on Figure 2. SDO 001 carries runoff from the vehicle F:\HARRISON\HARRISON\Main Quarry And Asphalt Fold ers\Enka\NPDES\SWPPP\SWPPP-Final Revised 3 2014.Docx Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan Revision 1: March 20, 2012 APAC Atlantic, Inc. Asheville Division —Enka Asphalt Plant Page 6 maintenance shop and the fueling station and discharges to a drainage ditch and into the sediment pond. SDO 002 carries runoff from the main office building and employee parking lot and discharges into a drainage ditch on adjacent Vulcan Materials Quarry property. Runoff to the south commingles with industrial runoff and discharges through SDO 001 and SDO 003. SDO 003 carries runoff from equipment and truck parking areas as well as aggregate stockpiles, and discharges to the sediment basin. The sediment pond, sediment basin, and drainage ditches convey stormwater to Hominy Creek, which flows in a southeasterly direction. The southern property line is bound by Hominy Creek. Section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act (CWA) requires that a list of impaired waters be developed. According to the 2006 data available on the EPA's website, this section (also called a reach) of Hominy Creek is not classified as a 303(d) impaired water. In accordance with Part I, Section A of General Permit Number NCG160000 (Appendix A), APAC may be covered under the general permit. 4.4 Permitted Non-Stormwater Discharges The plant has the following permitted non-stormwater discharges: Sanitary Wastewater —Wastewater from employee restrooms is conveyed to a collection manhole owned by the City of Asheville. The collected wastewater is conveyed to the City of Asheville sanitary sewer system. The equipment washwaters are pre-treated in the aboveground oil/water separator and by filtration through sand filter prior to their discharge to the City of Asheville sanitary sewer system covered under separate permit 1-038-11 issued by Metropolitan Sewer District (MSD) of Buncombe County. This facility does not routinely generate any regulated hazardous waste.

Asheville Division —Enka Asphalt Plant Page 7 5.0 Stormwater Pollution Prevention Team The Stormwater Pollution Prevention Team is responsible for implementation, maintenance, and revision of the SWPPP. The team is organized so that the individuals who are most familiar with key aspects of facility operations are assigned to the team. A list of the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Team members is provided in Appendix B. The environmental manager provides a single point of contact for those outside of the facility who may need to discuss the SWPPP. A responsible person shall 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. Stormwater Pollution Prevention Team members and other facility personnel responsible for responding to spills (a responsible person) shall be identified in a written list and signed and dated by each individual acknowledging their responsibilities for the plan (see Appendix B). From time to time, the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Team may schedule and hold meetings regarding compliance with the procedures in this plan and the requirements of the General Permit. This will only occur on as -needed basis (e.g. when the permit changes, monitoring reports indicate a problem, a spill occurs, etc.). If a meeting is held the stormwater team should take attendance during meetings and document the topics of discussion, including action items to be addressed. All other facility employees who are involved with potentially polluting activities should be aware of stormwater management practices and spill response procedures at the facility. Implementation of the Plan shall include documentation of all monitoring, measurements, inspections, maintenance activities, and training provided to employees. Documentation shall also include the log of the sampling data and actions taken to implement best management practices (BMPs) associated with the asphalt production activities, including vehicle maintenance activities. Such documentation shall be kept on -site for a period of five years and made available to DENR personnel or an authorized DENR representative immediately upon request.

Asheville Division —Enka Asphalt Plant Page 8 6.0 Description of Potential Pollutant Sources This section of the Plan provides a description of potential pollution sources at the APAC facility that may be reasonably expected to add significant amounts of pollution to stormwater discharges. Activities and materials that are potential sources of pollutants were identified by Altamont and reviewed by APAC personnel. It is the responsibility of the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Team to periodically review this document and keep the plan current with periodic updates. Altamont personnel performed a site evaluation on August 11, 2011. The findings of the site evaluation are summarized in Section 6.2.1 of this plan. 6.1 Facility Site Map The facility site map depicts the site property. It is included as Figure 2. The map includes the site property boundary, the stormwater discharge points, all on -site and adjacent surface waters and wetlands, industrial activity areas including storage of materials, disposal areas, process areas, locations of exposed significant materials, locations of potential spills and leaks, locations of loading and unloading areas, haul roads, and waste management areas. In general, waste management areas consist of solid waste containers that are used to collect and store waste until the contents can be recycled or transported and disposed of off -site. The site map also shows the approximate locations of facility access points, parking and truck loading/unloading areas, waste and material storage tanks, and other areas of the facility that are referenced in the plan. 6.2 Pollutant Source Identification and Site Evaluation Inspection The General Permit requires each facility to prepare a description of potential pollutant sources at the site and identify any pollutants of concern that may be generated by the following activities: • Loading and unloading operations • Outdoor storage activities • On -site waste disposal practices • Significant dust or particulate generating activities • Outdoor manufacturing or processing activities Table 1 contains a summary of outdoor storage activities that present potential pollutant sources at the facility. In addition, the following section describes findings from an inspection of the site for potential pollutants. The inspection was performed by Altamont personnel on August 11, 2011. 6.2.1 Site Evaluation Several areas were observed where material handling and storage take place. The locations of these areas are indicated on Figure 2. The areas and their corresponding potential pollutant sources are described as follows. 6.2.1.1 Hot Mix Asphalt Production Plant Outdoor StoraP-e The hot mix asphalt production plant includes a counter -flow drum with a mixer, silos, and aggregate feed system. The primary containment area, located within the production plant area, includes three fuel tanks, F:\HARRIS0N\HARRIS0N\Main Quarry And Asphalt Folders\Enka\NPDES\SWPPP\SWPPP-Final Revised 3 2014.Docx Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan Revision 1: March 20, 2012 APAC Atlantic, Inc. Asheville Division —Enka Asphalt Plant Page 9 one antistrip tank, one hot oil heater, and three single -compartment asphalt tanks. All aboveground storage tanks are placed within an uncovered secondary containment area. The secondary containment structure_ surrounding these tanks have no functional drains. After a storm event, water accumulated within the containment area is visually inspected for contamination and, if indicators of contamination are absent, the water will be drained using a manually inserted electric sump pump in conjunction with a precautionary "oily water filter". In the immediate vicinity of the primary containment area there are stockpiles of aggregate. These stockpiles are accumulated mainly to the west of the containment area and they include crushed rock of various sizes, stone and sand. There are additional sand and stone stockpiles located to the south of the production plant. Asphaltic products stored on -site contain mainly recovered material awaiting recycle, recycled asphalt pavement (RAP), crushed shingles and cold asphalt mix. Recovered material and RAP stockpiles are located in the western portion of the plant tract. The crushed shingles stockpile and cold asphalt mix stockpile are located near the southern and eastern plant operation area boundaries. All stockpiles are stored outdoors and uncovered, thus exposed to precipitation. Given the size of the aggregate stockpiles (crushed rock, sand and stone), and asphaltic products stockpiles (recovered material, RAP, crushed shingles, and cold asphalt mix), it is not economically or technically feasible to cover these a yeas. Additionally, there is an oil lubricated air compressor located at the plant. Condensate from the air compressor is collected in an oil water separator and activated carbon filter unit prior to discharge to the ground surface. Indoor Storage Near the plant boundary, to the east of the production plant is the superintendent's office building. Small containers that may contain small volumes of hazardous materials and petroleum products are stored in this building in the metal flammable cabinet. 6.2.1.2 Fueling Station Outdoor Storage The fueling containment area includes three fuel tanks (one contains gasoline and two contain diesel) and three fueling pumps. All aboveground storage tanks are placed within an uncovered secondary containment area. The secondary containment structure surrounding tanks has no functional drain. After a storm event, water in the containment area is to be visually inspected for contamination and, if indicators of contamination are absent, the water is drained using a manually inserted electric sump pump in conjunction with a precautionary "oily water filter". 6.2.1.3 Drum Storage Indoor Storage Drums storing liquid and other smaller containers with miscellaneous material are located in various locations throughout the plant. The drum storage areas are indicated on Figure 2. There are two warehouse buildings on site, located between the production plant and the testing lab, used for storage of parts and equipment. 55-gallon drums that contain oils, hydraulic fluids, and asphalt release agents are stored inside the buildings. F:\HARRlSON\HARRISON\Main Quarry And Asphalt Folders\Enka\NPDES\SWPPP\SWPPP-Final Revised 3 2014.Docx Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan Revision 1: March 20, 2012 APAC Atlantic, Inc. Asheville Division —Enka Asphalt Plant Page 10 6.2.1.4 Lab Indoor Storage The asphalt and aggregate and mix design testing laboratory has its operation on site. Two buildings located near the eastern plant boundary are associated with these activities. Small quantities of testing chemicals and cleaning agents are stored inside both buildings. 6.2.1.5 Equipment Washing Bay Outdoor Storage Asphalt paving equipment is driven inside the building for washing. Orange -Pro®, a bio-degradable citric - acid -based release agent and degreaser, is used in this building for equipment cleaning. Typically, it is stored in the wash bay. Removed sludge from the washed vehicles and equipment is spread on- site within the recycled asphalt pavement stockpiles and allowed to dry. Thus, it is re -used in the asphalt mix production. Trash dumpsters and bins with scrap materials are stored next to the washing bay area. Two propane tanks are located near the equipment washing bay. Outdoor Storaae Around the perimeter of the building there are drums, scrap parts and metal, pallets, tires and other materials. Trash dumpsters and bins with scrap materials are stored next to the vehicle maintenance shop. Additionally, there is an oil lubricated air compressor located in the shop area. Condensate from the air compressor is collected in an oil water separator and activated carbon filter unit prior to discharge to the ground surface. Indoor Storage Three oil containers used to store motor oil, hydraulic oil, used oil and one container used to store used antifreeze are located inside the vehicle maintenance shop within the secondary containment area. Hazardous materials including fuel, antifreeze, automotive engine fluids, solvents, degreasers, and cleaning agents are stored and used inside the shop. Small "in -use" amounts of these chemicals are kept on work benches. The metal flammable cabinet for small containers is located inside the shop. 6.2.1.6 Main Office Building Indoor Storage Typically, no industrial activities occur at main office building. Small quantities of cleaning supplies are kept inside the building. A paved employee parking lot extends around office building. F:\HARRISON\HARRISON\Main Quarry And Asphalt Folders\Enka\NPDES\SWPPP\SWPPP-Final Revised 3 2014.Docx Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan Revision 1: March 20, 2012 APAC Atlantic, Inc. Asheville Division —Enka Asphalt Plant Page 11 6.2.1.7 Employee Parking Lots Outdoor Storage Two employee parking lots are located in the northern portion of the Enka plant. One is paved with asphalt and occupies the eastern portion of the plant tract. Another one is covered with gravel and is situated near the northwestern site boundary. Traffic control equipment is stored near the northeastern corner within the paved parking lot area. Several traffic paint and liquid storage totes are located next to the fence within the gravel parking area. 6.2.1.8 Concrete Forming and Finishing Equipment Storage Outdoor Storage In the northwestern corner of the plant there is a fenced -in area. Within the fence is a building. Just outside the building, within the gravel yard area, there are some concrete forms, curbing forms, metal grates and other miscellaneous parts and equipment. Indoor Storage Stored inside the building are concrete finishing tools and other supplies, including concrete curing compounds. The concrete curing compounds are contained in 5-gallon buckets. On occasion there may be gasoline -powered tools stored inside the building as well. The tools are typically drained of gasoline prior to prolonged storage. 6.2.1.9 Electrical Transformers Progress Energy is the electricity supplier in the area of Enka Asphalt Plant. Transformers are located within the Enka plant operational boundary. Progress Energy is the owner of all transformers located throughout the site. In the event that a transformer oil leak is noted, APAC's stormwater pollution prevention team will notify Progress Energy so that it can manage the response and cleanup. 6.2.2 Description of Existing Management Practices The equipment, actions, and procedures listed below are currently in place to control pollutants in stormwater discharges from the site. (Note: In the list below, material is defined as a potential stormwater contaminant.) Additional spill prevention controls and countermeasures are addressed in the facility's Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure Plan. • All outside bulk storage is aboveground and has secondary containment and retaining walls with no functional drains. All aboveground storage tanks (ASTs) are labeled clearly with identification of the contents and capacity. Material storage areas have controlled access. • APAC personnel are instructed to store containers in use at this facility either indoors and/or within secondary containment structures. Stormwater analysis is performed at the frequency described in the permit included in Appendix A. There are three SDOs used for collecting grab samples. The SDO locations are indicated on Figure 2. The SDOs represent all stormwater that contacts the facility. This stormwater is commingled with runoff that flows from adjacent upgradient properties. The samples are collected and transported to a North Carolina certified laboratory for analysis. The results are kept on file at the facility and provided to DENR with a report. • The vehicle maintenance shop, washing bay, and other work areas are kept clean and organized. Vehicles and equipment parked on -site are checked for leaking fluids on a routine basis. F:\HARRISON\HARRISON\Main Quarry And Asphalt Folders\Enka\NPDES\SWPPP\SWPPP-Final Revised 3 2014.Docx Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan Revision 1: March 20, 2012 APAC Atlantic, Inc. Asheville Division —Enka Asphalt Plant Page 12 • Drip pans, pads, and absorbent materials are used to absorb oil, contain spills, and aid in keeping the floors and overall areas clean and free of oil. Spill kits are located close to each containment area. • Facility personnel conduct documented semiannual inspections of the facility and grounds. Corrective action is implemented based on the findings, as needed. • Equipment washwater is contained and/or otherwise kept out of the storm drainage system and off paved surfaces. Equipment washing is typically done in washing bay. The washwater is recycled when practical. Otherwise it is discharged into a permitted wastewater collection system. • Drums and other product containers used for manufacturing and treatment purposes are loaded and unloaded with proper handling equipment and stored as described in the previous section. 6.3 Materials lnventory and Description of Exposed Significant Material This section includes the following information: • Significant materials that have been handled, stored, or disposed of in a manner that allowed exposure to stormwater during a period beginning three years prior to the date the permit was issued to the present • Methods and locations of on -site storage or disposal • Materials management practices that are employed to minimize the contact of exposed materials to stormwater runoff during a period beginning three years prior to the date the permit was issued to the present • Structural and nonstructural control measures installed to reduce pollutants in stormwater runoff Significant Materials as defined under the stormwater General Permit, "include, but are not limited to: raw materials; fuels; materials such as solvents, detergents and plastic pellets; finished materials such as metallic products; raw materials used in food processing or production; hazardous substances designated under Section 101(14) of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA); any chemical the facility is required to report pursuant to Section 313 of Title III of the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA); fertilizer; pesticides; and waste products such as ashes, slag, and sludge that have a potential to be released with stormwater discharges." A description and inventory of exposed significant materials is included as Table 1. APAC tracks material usage using accounting software. The quantities listed on Table 1 for liquids represent the storage container capacity. The operational quantities listed for solids vary and there are no mass limits established for storage'on site. More detailed descriptions of the locations of the significant materials are described in Section 6.2.1—Site Evaluation. Inspections shall be conducted to evaluate these materials and document changes in materials or storage practices. Future revisions to the SWPPP shall evaluate the potential effects of the documented changes on stormwater discharges. 6.4 List of Significant Spills and Leaks February 14, 2014 Spill of raw #2 off -road diesel from the shop AST and secondary containment at the APAd Enka site. Significant spills and releases are documented in the APAC Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasures (SPCC) Plan, as needed. Significant Spills include "releases within a 24-hour period of hazardous substances in excess of reportable quantities" under Section 311 of the Clean Water Act or Section 102 of CERCLA. In some cases Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs) list reportable quantities. F:\HARRIS0N\HARRlS0N\Main Quarry And Asphalt Folders\Enka\NPDES\SWPPP\SWPPP-Final Revised 3 2014.Docx Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan Revision 1: March 20, 2012 APAC Atlantic, Inc. Asheville Division —Enka Asphalt Plant Page 13 APAC keeps on record MSDS sheets for all materials stored and used on site. The hazardous materials and reporting limits are described by these MSDSs. If a material is hazardous and it is released into the environment APAC will respond according to the information on the MSDS. If a reportable quantity is not listed on the MSDS, APAC will contact the material provider for additional information. A release is defined as "any spilling, leaking, pumping, pouring, emitting, emptying, discharging, injecting, escaping, leaching, dumping, or disposing into the environment." APAC personnel will make every effort to prevent spills of liquid materials or wastes from reaching stormwater drains on -site. 6.5 Non-Stormwater Discharge Assessment and Certification This section provides guidance for the stormwater team in determining whether non-stormwater discharges exist. Examples of non-stormwater discharges include water used in manufacturing processes (process water), non -contact cooling water, vehicle wash water, or sanitary waste. Connections of non-stormwater discharges to a stormwater collection system can be significant sources of water quality problems, and, unless permitted by a NPDES permit, may be illegal. The General Permit authorizes the following types of non-stormwater discharges: • Discharges from fire -fighting activities • Fire hydrant flushing • Potable water sources including water line flushing • Irrigation drainage • Lawn watering • Uncontaminated groundwater • Foundation or footing drains where flows are not contaminated with process materials • Discharges from springs • Routine exterior building washdown that does not use detergents or other compounds • Pavement wash waters where spills or leaks of toxic or hazardous materials have not occurred and where detergents are not used • Air conditioning condensate The results of the non-stormwater discharge assessments are to be documented on the Non -Discharge Assessment and Certification form included in Appendix C. The stormwater team is responsible for regularly re-evaluating the property to determine if new non-stormwater discharges are occurring. The Non -Discharge Assessment and Certification form must be completed annually.

Asheville Division —Enka Asphalt Plant Page 14 7.0 Stormwater Management Plan 7.1 Feasible Changes to Eliminate or Reduce Exposure APAC continuously reviews 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 stormwater. Wherever practical, APAC prevents exposure of storage areas, material handling operations, and manufacturing or fueling operations. The following areas represent locations where the elimination of exposure is not practical, and the feasibility of diverting the stormwater runoff away from areas of potential contamination is not practical at this time: • Primary Containment Area —Given the height of the tanks, it is neither economically nor technically feasible to cover the area. • Fueling Containment Area —Given the height of the tanks, it is neither economically nor technically feasible to cover the area. • Aggregate Storage Areas —Given the size of the aggregate stockpiles (sand, stone, etc.), it is neither economically nor technically feasible to cover these areas. • Asphaltic Product Storage Areas —Given the size of the stockpiles (recycled asphalt pavement, crushed shingles, and cold asphalt), it is neither economically nor technically feasible to cover these areas. 7.2 Secondary Containment Requirements and Records 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. At the APAC facility, the following equipment is stored in bulk containers within secondary containment: • Recycled Fuel Oil (RFO) and # 2 Fuel Oil —three 15,000-gallon tanks • Antistrip—one 5,000-gallon tank • Heat Transfer Oil --one 500-gallon tank • Asphalt Cement (AC) —three 30,000-gallon tanks • Gasoline —one 20,000-gallon tank • Diesel Fuel —two 20,000-gallon tanks • Motor Oil, Hydraulic oil, Used Oil —three 500-gallon tanks • Antifreeze —one 500-gallon tank If a secondary containment device is connected directly to the stormwater conveyance system, the connection shall be controlled as follows. After a storm event, water in the containment area is to be visually inspected for contamination and, if indicators of contamination are absent, the water is drained using a manually inserted electric sump pump in conjunction with a precautionary "oily water filter". Any stormwater that accumulates in the containment area shall be, at a minimum, visually observed for color, foam, outfall staining, visible sheen, and dry weather flow prior to release of the accumulated stormwater. Accumulated stormwater shall be released if visually observed to be uncontaminated by F:\HARRlSON\HARRISON\Main Quarry And Asphalt Folders\Enka\NPDES\SWPPP\SWPPP-Final Revised 3 2014.Docx Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan Revision 1: March 20, 2012 APAC Atlantic, Inc. Asheville Division —Enka Asphalt Plant Page 15 material stored within the containment area. If contamination is visually observable, analytical monitoring must be conducted as described in Section 8.4, and the results must indicate that the sample concentrations are less than the benchmark concentrations prior to discharge. Records documentingthe 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. The form for recording the discharge from secondary containment structures is provided in the facility's SPCC Plan. 7.3 Best Management Practice Identification and Implementation BMPs are measures used to prevent or mitigate pollution. BMPs include a wide range of practices that may involve processes, procedures, schedules of activities, prohibitions on practices, and other management practices to prevent or reduce water pollution. BMPs may also include structural controls such as oil and grease separation, debris control, vegetative filter strips, infiltration, and stormwater detention or retention. The need for structural BMPs shall be based on the assessment of the potential of pollutant sources to contribute significant quantities of pollutants to stormwater discharges and data collected through monitoring of the stormwater discharges (see Section 8.4). The purpose of this section of the SWPPP is to identify the BMPs that the facility will utilize in order to reduce the potential for introduction of pollutants into stormwater runoff from the site. During the site evaluation by Altamont personnel on August 11, 2011, stormwater pollution prevention practices were observed. These BMPs are summarized on the BMP table that is located in Appendix D. The BMPs shall be revised as conditions change. The BMPs that are adopted must be implemented by the facility Stormwater Pollution Prevention Team. However, in order for these measures to be effective, facility staff must be made aware of these new practices and procedures. This will require initial training for appropriate employees. This training is addressed further in Section 7.4. The following items are the minimum components of stormwater management controls: • Good Housekeeping Practices Employee Training (addressed in Section 7.4 of this plan) Record Keeping and Reporting (addressed in Section 8.6 of this plan) • Preventive Maintenance, including documenting schedules of inspections and maintenance activities of stormwater control systems and plant equipment • inspections of material handling areas and regular cleaning schedules of these areas shall be incorporated into the program. • Visual Inspections • Spill Prevention and Response • Sediment and Erosion Control • Management of Runoff 7.4 Employee Training The purpose of the stormwater training program is to inform personnel of their responsibilities for implementing activities identified in the SWPPP. Facility personnel responsible for implementing the training shall be identified. Training schedules shall be developed, and training shall be provided on an annual basis (at a minimum) to all personnel involved in any of the facility's operations that have the potential to F:\HARRISON\HARRiSON\Main Quarry And Asphalt Folders\Enka\NPDES\SWPPP\SWPPP-Final Revised 3 2014.Docx Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan APAC Atlantic, Inc.

The SPCC Plan is available for review in the APAC Enka Asphalt Plant headquarters office. The Environmental Manager has been designated as the point of contact for all hazardous material discharge prevention and response at the Enka Asphalt Plant. The Environmental Manager will evaluate the spill prevention program on an annual basis and will address spill prevention items such as the following: • Review and updating of the materials inventory list, with an emphasis on hazardous materials • Potential spill sources identification • Review and updating of incident reporting procedures, if necessary • Improvement of inspection procedures and training program • Review of new construction and proposed operational changes In order to control pollution that can result from a spill, at a minimum, adequately trained APAC personnel will take the following basic steps: • Stop the spill at the source. • Contain the spill using appropriate defensive actions and spill response material and equipment. • Collect the spilled material, if properly trained and directed to do so. • Properly dispose of the spilled material and subsequent contaminated material. The spill response materials are stored in yellow barrels in the vicinity of each containment area and are accessible to APAC personnel. In order to prevent spills APAC will do the following: • Keep an existing list of waste up-to-date and find ways to eliminate wastes, if feasible. • Store wastes separately, and be sure they are properly labeled to make it easier to reuse or recycle them. • Strive to include the cost of disposal while making purchase decisions, and do not purchase more than is needed. • Purchase the least toxic or hazardous product available, and use the oldest items first. • Send back to the supplier the items that are in excess or unneeded. • Use drip pans and splash guards where spills frequently occur. Fix any leaks immediately. • Store items that could leak in a place where leaks will be contained and easily seen. • Store materials in original containers in a way that keeps them from being damaged, and inspect storage areas regularly for leaks.

Asheville Division —Enka Asphalt Plant Page 18 8.2 SWPPP Review and Revision This plan shall be amended whenever there is a change in design, construction, operation, or maintenance that has a significant effect on the potential for the discharge of pollutants to the waters of North Carolina, or if the SWPPP is shown to be ineffective in eliminating or significantly reducing pollutants from sources identified in Section 6.2 of this plan. The effectiveness of the plan may be quantitatively gauged based upon the monitoring requirements described in Section 8.4. The plan will be reviewed annually, at a minimum, to determine its overall effectiveness, and the form in Appendix I shall be completed. Modifications to the plan will be made as necessary. This may mean adoption of new BMPs if any of the following conditions are met: 1. The plan has not been effective. 2. New material management practices are implemented. 3. The facility begins to use a new material that has the potential to pollute stormwater. 8.3 Facility Inspection Program Inspections of the facility and all stormwater systems shall occur, at a minimum, on a semiannual schedule (once during the first half of the year [January to June] and once during the second half of the year [July to December]), with at least 60 days separating inspection dates (unless performed more frequently than semiannually). Each inspection will be documented along with any subsequent maintenance activities that are performed. The identity of the person performingthe inspection, the date, the time, and a description of the facility's stormwater control systems and plant equipment will be included in the documentation. An inspection form is included in Appendix E. These facility inspections are different from, and in addition to, the stormwater discharge characteristic monitoring described in the following sections. 8.4 Analytical Monitoring Section 8.4 describes the semiannual stormwater monitoring requirements for APAC. 8.4.1 Compliance Sample Collection and Analyses Analytical monitoring of SDOs shall be performed as specified in the General Permit contained in Appendix A. One sample from each SDO must be collected semiannually during representative rainfall or storm events. Analytical monitoring must be conducted in accordance with test procedures approved under the Federal Regulations in 40 CFR § 136. North Carolina field parameter -certified laboratory requirements do not apply to stormwater-only discharges. The semiannual periods are September 1 through February 28 or 29 and March 1 through August 31 each year (see Appendix A). A minimum of 60 days must separate each sample collection date unless monthly monitoring has been instituted under a Tier Two response. A representative storm event is defined as follows: "A storm event that measures greater than 0.1 inches of rainfall and that is preceded by at least 72 hours in which no storm event measuring greater than 0.1 inches has occurred. A single storm event may contain up to 10 consecutive hours of no precipitation. For example, if it rains for 2 hours without producing any collectable discharge, and then stops, a sample may be collected if a rain producing a discharge begins again within the next 10 hours." If possible, the sample should be collected within the first 30 minutes of the event. For each sampled representative storm event, the total precipitation must be recorded. An on -site rain gauge or local rain gauge reading must be recorded. The total rainfall in inches and the event duration shall be recorded. The flow can be calculated based on the area contributing to each SDO as follows: F:\HARRISON\HARRISON\Main Quarry And Asphalt Folders\Enka\NPDES\SWPPP\SWPPP-Final Revised 3 2014.Docx Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan APAC Atlantic, Inc. Asheville Division —Enka Asphalt Plant Revision 1: March 20, 2012 Page 19 SDO 001 flow in millions of gallons (MG) = total event precipitation x drainage area contributing to outfall a SDO 002 flow in MG = total event precipitation x drainage area contributing to outfall SDO 003 flow in MG = total event precipitation x drainage area contributing to outfall To be conservative, it is assumed that the site is 100 percent impervious; however in reality there are small pervious areas of the site where the stormwater may infiltrate into the ground. The pH of each sample must be measured in the field, and the samples should be shipped to a North Carolina certified laboratory for analysis. The analytical sampling results shall be compared to the benchmark concentrations listed in the General Permit in Appendix A and as follows: • pH —Within the range of 6.0 to 9.0 standard units • Total Suspended Solids (TSS)-100 milligrams per liter (mg/L) • Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons (TPH)-15 mg/L The results shall be recorded on an SDO Discharge Monitoring Report (DMR) form, included in Appendix G. Sampling results must be submitted to DENR Division of Water Quality Central Office within 30 days from the date that the facility receives the sampling results from the laboratory. Furthermore, an annual summary data monitoring report, also included in Appendix G, is required to be submitted to the DENR Division of Water Quality Regional Office no later than 30 days from the date the facility receives laboratory sampling results from the final sample of the calendar year. 8.4.2 Tier One One exceedance of benchmark concentrations during the permit term requires APAC to follow the increased management actions outlined in Tier One of the General Permit. If the sampling results are above a benchmark value, or outside of the benchmark range, for any parameter at any outfall, then APAC will be required to complete the following: 1. Conduct a stormwater management inspection of the facility within two weeks of receiving the analytical results. 2. Determine the potential causes of the exceedance. 3. Within two months, institute new BMPs to bring the concentration of the exceeded parameter within the permitted range. 4. Record each instance of a Tier One response on the form located in Appendix H. Include the date and value of the benchmark exceedance, the inspection date, the personnel conducting the inspection, the selected actions, and the date the selected actions were implemented. 8.4.3 Tier Two Two consecutive exceedances above benchmark values during the permit term will require APAC to follow the Tier Two response steps outlined in the General Permit (see Appendix A). Under the Tier Two protocol, APAC shall: 1. Repeat all the required actions outlined above in Tier One. Identify and evaluate possible causes of benchmark exceedances. 2. Immediately institute monthly monitoring for all parameters at every outfall where a sampling result exceeded the benchmark value for two consecutive samples. Monthly (analytical and qualitative) F:\HARRISON\HARRISON\Main Quarry And Asphalt Folders\Enka\NPDES\SWPPP\SWPPP-Final Revised 3 2014.Docx Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan Revision 1: March 20, 2012 APAC Atlantic, Inc. Asheville Division —Enka Asphalt Plant Page 20 monitoring shall continue until three consecutive sample results are below the benchmark values, or within the benchmark range. 3. If no discharge occurs during the sampling period, a monthly monitoring report indicating "No Flow" shall be submitted in order to comply with reporting requirements. 4. Maintain a record of the Tier Two response on the form located in Appendix H. During the term of the permit, if the sampling results exceed the benchmark value, or are outside of the benchmark range, for any specific parameter at any specific outfall on more than four occasions, the following may occur: • An increase or decrease in the monitoring frequency may be required. • Coverage under the General Permit may be rescinded. • Structural BMPs may be required. • Site modifications may be required to eliminate stormwater exposure. 8.5 Qualitative Monitoring Requirements The facility is required to perform a visual inspection of each stormwater outfall (SDO 001, SDO 002, and SDO 003) during the analytical monitoring event, regardless of representative outfall status, and shall be performed as specified on the qualitative monitoring report form. Qualitative monitoring is for the purpose of evaluating the effectiveness of the SWPPP and assessing new sources of stormwater pollution. A qualitative monitoring report form is included in Appendix F. The permit specifies that the initial visual inspection must coincide with each analytical monitoring event. Additional visual inspections shall be conducted as described in Section 8.3. The new permit shall be evaluated for revised sampling requirements. 8.6 Record Keeping and Reporting Incidents such as spills or other discharges, along with other information describing the quality and quantity of stormwater discharges must be included in facility stormwater records. Procedures regarding spills involving petroleum products will be documented in the facility's SPCC Plan. Information and records of all monitoring data including all calibration and maintenance records and all original recordings from continuous monitoring instrumentation (if utilized by APAC in the future), copies of all reports required by the General Permit and/or DENR, inspection records, and records of all data used to complete the application for the permit, must be retained for a period of at least five years from the date of the sampling event, measurement, report, application, or for the term of the General Permit, whichever is longer.

Skvarla, ill, Secretary On February 14, 2014, the APAC Atlantic facility, Enka reported to us (NC Department of Environment and Natural Resources) a discharge of No. 2 off -road diesel from an above ground storage tank secondary containment at the subject site. A site inspection by NC DENR's Division of Water Resources on this same day confirmed this release. NPDES Permit NCG160106, effective October 1, 2009, to APAC Atlantic, Inc. permits stormwater point source discharges associated with activities classified as establishments primarily engaged in Asphalt Paving Mixtures and Blocks (SIC 2951). Investigations indicate the cause of this release was a failed tank valve and an open secondary containment valve. An inspection by the Division of Energy, Mineral, and Land Resources personnel on January 16, 2014 of this facility noted concerns with the past operation of a manual valve on the secondary containment of another above ground tank at this site, and instructed the facility to evaluate the procedures of operation for this practice, including documentation of pumping and release events. The results of this inspection were issued to APAC-Atlantic, Inc. on January 31, 2014. 2090 US Highway 70, Swannanoa, North Carolina, 28778-8211 Telephone 828-296-4500 Fax 828-299-7043 htt :!! ortal.ncdenr.or /web/ir/ An Equal Opportunity !

Here's the portion of the story I'm looking at, with the full story below: Workers at Vulcan Materials on Smoky Park Highway first noticed fuel running across the property from Harrison Construction Co. about 1:30 p.m. Friday, said Landon Davidson, regional supervisor for the N.C. Division of Water Resources. http://www.citizen-times.com/article/20l4O2lS/NEWS01/140215006/Candier-oil-spill-taints-Hominy-Creek And, of course, any updates on the spill or investigation would be so appreciated.

Oil sheen still visible on Hominv Creek I The Asheville CitVPn-Times I citizen-times.com Page 1 of 2 Oil sheen still visible on Hominy Creek Written by Clarke Morrison Feb. 20, 20141 citizen-times.com CANDLER — State environmental officials said Thursday that a light sheen remained visible in spots on Hominy Creek six days after a spill of thousands of gallons of diesel fuel. Contract workers continued to excavate contaminated soil at the site of the spill at Harrison Construction Co. on Smoky Park Highway and maintain booms in the creek, said Landon Davidson, regional supervisor with the N.C. Division of Water Quality. "We're still seeing some light sheen in some areas, which is probably the result of recent rainfall," he said. "The change in water level in the stream can come in contact with minor amounts." Davidson said lab results from the testing of water samples collected Tuesday from the creek should be available in several days. He said no fish kills have been observed because of the spill. Hartwell Carson, French Broad River keeper for the environmental group Western North Carolina Alliance, said lab results should be useful as people begin using the creek when the weather warms. "I think that will be really helpful to have that data to say that it still is or isn't contaminated," Carson said. "I think that's the No. 1 question that people are going to want to know." The spill was discovered the afternoon of Feb. 14, when workers at nearby Vulcan Materials noticed fuel running across the property from Harrison Construction. The state estimated the spill at about 5,000 gallons, while the company said it was closer to 3,000 gallons. Davidson said the fuel leaked from an above -ground storage tank when a coupling on a pipe failed. A valve on a basin designed to capture the fuel in case of a spill had been left open, he said. An unknown amount of fuel drained into the creek through a storm drain. "The oil -absorbent booms will remain in place at the six locations for the next couple of days," Davidson said. "We're continuing to evaluate their effectiveness and continuing to maintain them." Contractors for the company and the N.C. Department of Natural Resources are inspecting the booms twice a day, he said. The booms haven't been moved, but some have been reset and replaced, http://www.citizen-times.com/article/2O l 4O220INEWS01 /3022000')2/0il-sheen-still-visibi... 2/21 /2014 Oil sheen still visible on Hominy Creek I Thu4Asheville Citizen -Times I citizen-times.com Page 2 of 2 "You will see some minor sheen fluctuation," Davidson said. "That's why we are keeping the booms in the creek. We'll take it one day at a time." At the site of the spill, workers continued Thursday excavating soil tainted by the spill along with the stormwater pipe through which the fuel got into the creek. Davidson said all or a portion .of the pipe will be replaced. - - "Cleanup activities on the site are what I would call aggressive and robust," he said. "They know to keep it out of the stream." The spill won't be considered completely contained until all contaminated soil is removed and lab testing shows contamination of less than 10 parts per billion, said Jan Anderson, supervisor with the N.C. Division of Waste Management. Harrison Construction could face fines of up to $25,000 per day of violation. Chuck Cranford, assistant regional supervisor with the Division of Water Quality, said the company responded to the spill and reported it promptly. But Carson said he believes the company was slow to report the spill and not enough booms were erected to contain it. Workers with environmental contractor NEO Corp., which provided the initial emergency response, were no longer on the scene Thursday because its work is done, said Mike Holt, project manager with the company. Contractor ERC of Knoxville, Tenn., is continuing work on the cleanup. http://wwvv.citizen-times.com/article/20140220/NE WS01 /302200032/0il-sheen-still-visib]... 2121 /2014 Hominy Creek spill smaller than first estimate I The Asheville Citizen -Times I citizen-tim... Page 1 of 1 Hominy Creek spill smaller than first estimate Written by Jon Ostendorff Feb. 17, 2014 1 citizen-times.com ASHEVILLE —A Harrison Construction Co. official said Monday that soil contaminated by a fuel leak has been removed from its site and the extent of the leak is less than first estimated. Company President Todd Quigg said he does not know whether human or mechanical error, or a combination, is to blame for allowing diesel fuel leaking from a tank to escape a secondary containment system and get into Hominy Creek through a storm water runoff pipe. About 3,000 gallons of fuel escaped, Quigg said. State environmental officials Saturday put that number at 5,000 gallons based on the amount of fuel recorded as being in the tank and the amount measured when the leak was stopped. Damage to the French Broad River downstream was minimal, Quigg said. "We believe that impact to the French Broad River was limited to a sheen observed at the mouth but will continue to monitor the water for indicators," he said. State environmental officials are working to answer questions about the spill. The company could face fines. Crews at the construction company excavated contaminated dirt around the above -ground storage tank, Quigg said. Workers on Monday were still cleaning the storm water runoff pipe. Booms were in the creek to capture any residual sheen, he said. He expected to transition from emergency operations to monitoring the creek within 36 hours. The spill won't be considered completely contained until all contaminated soil is removed and laboratory testing shows contamination of less than 10 parts per million, said Jan Andersen, environmental regional supervisor for the state Division of Waste Management's Underground Storage Tanks section. Her office deals with any fuel spill, even if it comes from an above ground tank. She did not know when the spill would be declared officially contained. It would take time to collect samples and send them to the lab, she said. "It's not clean until the lab says it's clean," she said. Workers at the nearby Vulcan Materials quarry noticed the leak around 1:30 p.m. Friday. htip://uvtivw.citizen-times.com/apps/pbcs,dll/article?AID=2014302170029 212 l /2014 Work continues on cleanup of Candler oil spill I The Asheville Citizen -Times I citizen-tim... Page 1 of 2 Work continues on cleanup of Candler oil spill Written by Casey Blake Feb. 16, 20141 citizen-times.com CANDLER — Environmental officials and contractors continued working Sunday to abate the effects of nearly 5,000 gallons of fuel © oil that leaked into Hominy Creek and the French Broad River area Friday afternoon. Coordinators with the Environmental Protection Agency, private contractors hired by the tank owner and local environmental groups were still on the scene Sunday, working to extract the oil and evaluate damage to the affected water and soil. Landon Davidson, regional supervisor for the N.C. Division of Water Resources, said crews worked through the night on the spill, the result of a diesel fuel leak from an above -ground storage © tank owned by Harrison Construction Co. "I think we can say the company was absolutely negligent in the actual spill," said Hartwell Carson, the French Broad riverkeeper with the environmental group Western North Carolina Alliance. "But it seems like they're taking it seriously now.... It does seem to be a pretty large team." Workers at Vulcan Materials on Smoky Park Highway first noticed fuel running across the property from Harrison Construction Co. about 1:30 p.m. Friday and worked quickly to use sand and berms in an attempt to contain the spill, Davidson said. Harrison Construction reported the spill to state officials after 3 p.m. as being "contained," Davidson said, though some of the fuel clearly made it into the river. Witnesses reported a visible sheen on the river as early as Friday afternoon, with oil still visible through Saturday. "It's possible it was contained at the point they reported it, or they may not have known the extent of the spill," Davidson said. "It's hard to speculate at this point." "There will certainly be ongoing reporting and review of both the cause of the spill, and the reporting." Harrison Construction, the tank's owner, could face fines or other penalties, Davidson said. No one with the company could be reached Sunday for comment. Buncombe County commissioner Brownie Newman, the former executive director ® of the WNC Alliance, said several major questions still remain. "It may be a while before the whole picture is clear, but of course we want to know how this happened, whether the appropriate authorities were notified ... and whether there was a http://www.citizen-times.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=2014'102160069 2/21/2014 Work continues on cleanup of Candler oil spill I The Asheville Citizen -Times I citizen-tim... Page 2 of 2 quick enough response," Newman said. "Another component is whether that response was enough — we know four booms were deployed, but a lot of material seemed to be getting through there. "Thousands of gallons of oil is a significant impact, and people are very concerned," Newman said. "I think people want to know how DENR is going to address that, and they're concerned that these situations happen and there's just a slap on the wrist. People want.to. _ know what -the consequences will be." -- -- - http:llwww.citizen-times.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=2014302160069 2/21 /2014 Candler oil spill taints Hominy Creek I The Asheville Citizen -Times I citizen-times.com Page 1 of 2 Candler oil spill taints Hominy Creek Written by Clarke Morrison Feb. 15, 20141 citizen-times.com CANDLER — Environmental officials and contractors worked Saturday to contain a spill of some 5,000 gallons of fuel oil, some of which made its way into Hominy Creek and the French Broad River. Workers at Vulcan Materials on Smoky Park Highway first noticed fuel running across the property from Harrison Construction Co. about 1:30 p.m. Friday, said Landon Davidson, regional supervisor for the N.C. Division of Water Resources. Davidson said the liquid leaked out of an above -ground storage tank when a coupling on a pipe failed. Also contributing to the spill was the fact that a valve on a containment basin had been left open, he said. Workers placed booms across the creek in several locations in an attempt to contain as much of the oil as possible, but it was clear that some of it made it to the river. "There is definitely a sheen visible in the French Broad and in Hominy Creek," Davidson said. "We don't know how much of the product actually reached the creek." It's difficult to say what sort of environmental damage was caused by the spill, he said. "I haven't seen any fish kills," he said. "I don't see any observable damage at this point. We'll see what happens in the next couple of days." Harrison Construction, the tank's owner, could face fines or other penalties, Davidson said. No one with the company could be reached Saturday for comment. Hartwell Carson, the French Broad riverkeeper with the environmental group Western North Carolina Alliance, paddled the tainted section of the creek Saturday along with Eric Bradford of Asheville Greenworks to get a close look at the oily mess. "It's very frustrating to see regardless of whose fault it is," Carson said. "There is significant oil all over the creek. It's in the sediment." Carson said the spill likely will be harmful to aquatic life. He believes more booms should have put in the creek closer to the site of the spill. "There was oil at French Broad River Park and Hominy Creek Park," he said. "It was just a sheen stretching all the way across the creek. It smelled of gasoline. You could smell it all the way down at Hominy Creek Park." Vulcan workers who spotted the leaking oil used sand and berms in an initial attempt to contain the spill. Contract workers with NEO Corp. soon arrived on the site, said Terry Gentry, Buncombe County deputy fire marshal. http://www.citizen-times.com/apps/pbcs.dl particle?AI D=2014140215006 2/21 /2014 Candler oil spill taints Hominy Creek I The Asheville Citizen -Times I citizen-times.com Page 2 of 2 Vacuum trucks were used to remove oil that was contained on the site and soil was excavated. An official with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency also was on the scene. Davidson said he doesn't know why the valve on the containment basin below the fuel tank was left open or why the pipe coupling broke. http://w,rw.citizen-times.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AI D=2014140215006 2/21 /2014 UST-62 :' 24-Hour Notification of Discharge Farm For Non -UST This form should be completed and submitted to the UST Section's regional, office fallowing a known or suspected release of Releases of petroleum from a source other than an underground storage tank.

Section D: Summary of Finding/Comments (Attach additional sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary) This facility does do vehicle wash and. rinse, all discharge is directed to the sanitary sewer(MSD of Buncombe County). This facility also does vehicle maintenance, using 55 gallons of new oil each month. - General - The facility has all componets required by the permit, however the documentation needs to be reviewed regularly, revised and/or modified regularly, and documented (if it's not documented it does not exist). - SPPP -- The SPPP appears to be complete. -- Documentation shows that the plan has not been reviewed since 2001. -- Outfalls are currently numbered, however are referred to by descriptive names and not numbers; the plan should be updated to reflect this. -- Preventative maintnance section has check sheets that are not being used, the plant is using a computerized maintenance program for maintenance that should be referenced in the plan. (Only the sheets that are being used should be in the plan.) -- The training records in the plan are not being used but the records that are being kept are very good. -- It is very important that you have a responsible parry list in the plan and regularly update it. -- You must at a minimum inspect your stormwater facilities on a semiannual basis (spring and fall). This inspection must be documented. -- You are required to keep all documentation for 5 years and you are encouraged to keep it organized. - Analytical Monitoring, Qualitative and On -site vehiicle maintenance monitoring requirements -- Your monitoring appears to be good. You have met the requirements. Read your permit carefully to ensure you that you are not doing more than is required. You should invest in a good pH meter for your monitoring, since this is a field parameter and cannot be do reliably in a lab, due to time constraints. Your records indicate low pHs, that are keeping you doing annual sampling. I recommend you do a study of this issue and determine the source and eliminate it if possible. All records must be kept for 5 years. - Final recommendations; -- Read your permit carefully -- Review and revise your plan regularly -- Document you actions and organize your documents. -- Be aware of your 24 hour reporting requirements. -- Call us if you have questions.828.298.4500 Page # 2 . ti Permit: NCG160106 Inspection Date: 01/05/2006 Owner - Facility: APAG Atlantic Inc -Enka Inspection Type: Compliance Evaluation Operations & Maintenance Yes No NA NE Is the plant generally clean with acceptable housekeeping? ■ ❑ fl [_ Does the facility analyze process control parameters, for ex: MLSS, MCRT, Settleable Solids,. pH-DO,.Sludge - ❑ ❑ ® I]- Judge,_and.other-that are applicable? -- - Comment: Permit Yes No NA NE (if the present permit expires in 6 months or less).
