PART III MONITORING, CONTROLS, AND LIMITATIONS FOR PERMITTED DISCHARGES SECTION A: STORMWATER BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES (BMPS) PLAN The permittee shall implement BMPs to ensure that contaminants do not enter surface waters visa stormwater that comes in contact with any unstabilized overburden, raw materials, intermediate products, finished products, byproducts or waste products located on the site of the sources covered by this permit. A BMP Plan shall be developed inaccordance with the requirements of this section. 2. Management of Stormwater Runoff and Runon. The permittee shall maintain erosion and sedimentation controls for land disturbance areas and outside process areas. In addition, some of the same controls for erosion. and sedimentation control (e.g. vegetated diversion berms or dikes) should_ be used to limit or isolate selected land disturbance and process areas and limit the amount of off site stormwater runon to those areas. Appropriate Best Management Practices (BMPs) should be used to divert, infiltrate, reuse or otherwise manage stormwater runoff or runon in a manner that reduces pollutants in stormwater discharges leaving the site. Appropriate BMPs may include but not limited to: vegetative swales, berms, use of reclaimed mine areas, and reuse of collected stormwater (such as for an industrial process or as an irrigation source). 3. BMP-Controls Inspection and Maintenance. All erosion and sedimentation control facilities shall be inspected by or under the direction of the permittee at least once every seven calendar days and within 24 hours after any storm event that results in a discharge. The control structures implemented for erosion and sedimentation control shall be operated and maintained so that the controls are cleaned out when the sediment storage capacity has been reduced by 50% in accordance with the provisions in.the mining permit. If any offsite sedimentation is leaving the property, corrective action shall be taken to reduce the discharge of sediments. Visible sedimentation found offsite shall be recorded with a brief explanation as to the measures taken to prevent future releases as well as any measures taken to clean up the sediment that left the site. All other stormwater specific controls (e.g. oil /water separators) shall be inspected and qualitatively monitored (as per Part III.B.3) on a semiannual schedule, once in the fall (September -November) and once during the Spring (April -.Tune). A log of sampling data and of activities taken to implement BMPs associated with the vehicle maintenance activities shall be maintained and incorporated into the BUT Plan and kept onsite for the duration of the permit term and made available to the Director upon request. 4. Erosion and Sedimentation Control. The permittee shall implement management practices and the erosion and sedimentation control measures that are included in the mining permit approved by the Division of Land Resources. The approved mining permit is considered a requirement or condition of this general permit. Deviation from the approved mining permit, or approved amendment to the permit, that impact water quality shall constitute a violation of the terms and conditions of this general permit. A signed copy of the issued mining permit including the approved erosion and sedimentation control measures and the reclamation plan shall be maintained on the site at all times. Part III Page 1 of 9 Permit No. NCG020000 Once an area is released by the Division of Land Resources in accordance with NCGS Chapter 74, Article 7, it shall no longer be subject to this general permit. 5. Preventive Maintenance Inspections and Good Housekeeping Practices. Equipment utilized during mining activity on a site must be operated and maintained in such a manner as to prevent potential or actual pollution of the surface or ground waters of the state. Fuels, lubricants, coolants, and hydraulic fluids, or any other petroleum products, shall not be discharged on to the ground or into surface waters. Spent fluids shall be disposed of in a manner so as not to enter the surface or ground waters of the state and in accordance with applicable federal disposal regulations. Any spilled fluids shall be cleaned up to the maximum extent practicable and disposed of in a manner.that does not allow their entry into the surface or ground waters of the state. 6. Secondary Containment. The permittee shall provide secondary containment for bulk storage of liquid materials, storage of Section 313 of Title III of the Superfund Amendment -nd Reauthorization Act (SARA) water priority chemicals, or storage of hazardous liwi:tids substances to prevent leaks and spills from contaminating stormwater runoff. If th :-:7condary containment devices are connected directly to stormwater conveyance the connection shall be controlled by manually activated valves or other similar devices [which shall be secured with a locking mechanism] and 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 the material stored within the containment area. SECTION B: ANALYTICAL AND QUALITATIVE MONITORING REQUIREMENTS FOR DISCHARGES COMPOSED ENTIRELY OF STORMWATER Analytical monitorir: 'of parameters for stormwater discharges shall be performed as specified in Tables 1 through 4. All analytical monitoring shall be performed during a representative storm event as defined in Part VII. For each parameter, the arithmetic mean of all analytical sampling results collected during the term of the permit may be calculated for each individual outfall and compared to the cut-off concentrations listed in Tables 2 and 4. If the arithmetic mean is less than the specified cut-off concentration for a given parameter, the facility is not required to continue annual monitoring for that parameter (at that outfall) until the last year of the permit unless a significant change in facility operations or configuration occurs. If a cut-off concentration`results in discontinued analytical monitoring at an individual discharge outfall, the permittee is required to maintain facility operations that ensure the continuation of stormwater runoff quality. The permittee must perform analytical sampling during the first and last year of the permit term regardless of cut-off concentration conditions. Analytical results from sampling during the final year of the permit term must be submitted with the permit renewal application. If the stormwater runoff is controlled by some type of erosion/sediment control basin or retention pond, the following monitoring requirements apply in addition to the requirements in the Tables 1 and 3: Part III Page 2 of 9 Permit No. NCG020000 Table 2.

Alleged Discharge of Untreated Quarry Pit Water. Rowan Granite Quarry, Inc. Solar White Facility Rowan County, North Carolina Dear Mr. Chen, in response to the complaint investigation dated March 25, 1998 and the alleged discharge of untreated quarry pit water we would like to continent the following: On Ferbruary 9, 1998, the day a complaint was filed at your office and the preceeding days, the region of Rowan County was stuck.by heavy rains over a few days. These rains were followed by flash flood warnings. The day your inspection took place in our quarry on February 10, 1998 everything was found to'be correct and in order. The water quality was very good and this was what you had found and commented during your inspection_ V By no means had a valve been opened to discharge waste water into a ditch leading to a neighbours private pond. Discharge water from the pit is always pumped directly into a settlement basin across the road as allowed in our Mining Permit and depicted on a quarry map used for reclamation purposes. As already mentioned an extreme weather condition had caused flash floods and the natural topography of the region had the tending to drain water from neighbouring properties into Mr. Kluttz's pond. During the second investigation on March 16, 1998 the mentioned valve was also closed and never opened_ Untreated quarry pit water was being pumped to the sediment pond across the road during the early hours of the morning. In order to prevent further confusion the mentioned valve has been dismantled. It is not possible to discharge untreated water into the ditch leading to Mr. and Mrs Kluttz. We strongly oppose the allegations and feel that our neighbour is making complaints as a matter of principal and not based on facts. Please feel free to contact us if you need to discuss the above subject any further. yours sincerely, ro lays �. Rowan Granite Quarry, Inc. Tobias Junge, Quarry Manager c.c.

Subject: Complaint Investigation Alleged Discharge of Untreated Quarry Pit Water Rowan Granite Quarry, Inc. Solar White Quarry Facility Rowan County, North Carolina Dear Mr. Kleinsorge: This letter is in follow-up to an investigation conducted on March 16, 1998 by Mr. G. T. Chen of this Office. The investigation was in response to a -complaint received on the same. date, regarding the discharge of untreated quarry pit water laden with solids. According to the complainant, The Solar White Quarry Facility had released wastewater from a manually controlled valve (installed on the side of a pipe) into a private pond (an impoundment) owned by Mr. and Mrs. Ken Kluttz. A similar incident was reported to this Office on February 9, 1998, and an investigation was performed on the following date. The investigations were inclusive; however, the evidence strongly support the allegations. As the result of a similar investigation conducted by staff of this Office on March 25, 1997, a Notice of Violation (NOV) was sent to you for the violation of NCGS 143-215.1(a)(6) and NPDES Permit No. NCG020074 (see attached copy)., In his response (dated April 11, 1997) to the NOV, Mr. Tobias Junge (Quarry Manager) advised this Office, among other things, that the manual control valve would not be re- opened (see attached copy). 919 NORTH MAIN STREET, MOORESVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA 2131 1 5 PHONE 704-663-1 699 FAX 704-663-6040 AN EQUAL 0 PPORTUNITY I AFFIRMATIVE ACTION EMPLOYER -50% RECYCLED/10% POST -CONSUMER PAPER Mr. Thomas Kleinsorge Page Two March 25, 1998 It is important that your Permit and the environmental laws of this State be observed.

According to the complaint, a private pond (an impoundment) owned by Mr. and Mrs, Ken Kluttz has turned turbid due to the discharge of mining water and/or rainwater from the quarry pit. During the investigation measurements of turbidity were performed on -site at several locations. A turbidimeter (Model DRT- 15CE by HF scientific, Inc.) was used for measuring the turbidity and the readings were as follows: Sample Location NTU* Readings =300 ft. upstream of a discharge pipe 4.6 NTU =80 ft. upstream of a discharge pipe 15.0 NTU Permitted discharge outlet 302.0 NTU Kluttz's Pond 106.0 NTU =60 ft. below outlet of Kluttz's Pond 111.2 NTU 919 North Main Street, Nt�CAn FAX 704-663-6040 Mooresville, North Carolina 28115 Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer Voice 704-663-1699 3 7r, TF9 5(r% recycled/10% post -consumer paper Mr. Thomas Kleinsorge Page Two March 31, 1997 An unnamed tributary to Crane Creek = 0.7 mile 43.6 NTU from Kluttz's Pond *NTU = Nephelometric Turbidity Units.

The riser in the basin has small filter holes (approx. '/4 inch in diameter) which allow water to filter through more easily. These holes shall be closed by welding them. The storage capacity of the basin will be increased by 4 foot in height and will prevent the water to flow off directly through the holes. The greater storage capacity will allow the .water to settle more easily as it will not flow off immediately - Indirect corrective actions which we will adress are the prevention of waters .#lowing into our pit from the outer perimeter of the quarry. We will try to minimize this flow by directing the water towards the North-West. We are going to do our best to improve. �0�j ld►S �" yours sincerely 19. C.
