okay fellow inspectors, attached are most of the documentation you will need for the land quality portion of the mining
inspection. The rest should be covered in the plan which I will bring with us as it is too large to make copies of. I will
have the file with us just in case for reference if needed but we will likely not need it.
Much of what we need to look at will be identified on the plan sheets.
Basins
Berms
Ditches
Rock Dams
Pipe inlet and or outlet protection
Silt fence
Boundaries
Barriers
Construction Details
Construction Sequencing
Etc...
The blank mining inspection report will work in concert with the plan and the permit documentation as well as the last
inspection. It will help que you to were to look for the information being requested. I will try to walk you all through an
inspection while referencing each of these documents as needed so you may want to print them out and review them.

Dear Mr. Johnson:
Donald R. van derVaart
Secretary
Glen White of the Winston-Salem Regional Office of the NC Division of Energy, Mineral, and Land Resources
(DEMLR) conducted a compliance evaluation inspection at the subject facility on November 13, 2015. Randy
Benton, Vulcan Quality Control Tech, assisted with the inspection. His assistance was greatly appreciated.
An inspection checklist is attached for your records and the inspection findings are summarized below.
1. Permit
This facility holds General Stormwater Permit No. NCO20081 to discharge Storm water from activities
associated with Stormwater Point source discharges associated with the discharge of stormwater and process
waste waterfrom the quarry; under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES). The
permit became effective October 1, 2015 and expires September 30, 2020.
2. Records/Reports
Part 11, Section A of the permit requires the development of a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP).
The plan must include,all nine (9) subsections of Part 11, Section A of the permit. Qualitative monitoring is
required to be completed and documented twice yearly as defined in Part 11, Section C of the permit. The
SPPP plan must be updated annually and qualitative and analytical monitoring must be conducted and
properly documented semi-annually to retain compliance with the permit. The SP3 (Stormwater Pollution
Prevention Plan) and monitoring records were up to date and maintained in two 3-ring binders at the
facilities main office. Dewatering records, training and fuel purchasing and use records were complete.

This facility appears to be well managed. No issues were found with the condition of the facility or its
records. All outfails were observed as well as the quarry pit itself.
4. Effluent/Receiving Waters
Drainage from this site consist of three outfalls. Outfall 001 is a dewatering pit, Outfall 002 covers the
vehicle maintenance area. Outfall 003 takes drainage from the yard and stockpile area. The facility has
representative outfall status for what was outfalls 003 and 004. All discharge flows to Cedar Creek, "Class C"
waters of the Yadkin Pee Dee River Basin.
5. Self -Monitoring Program
Analytical Monitoring: This site is required to provide analytical monitoring twice annually and each outfall.
Monitoring records for 2015 and several years past were all available for review. Results were within permit
parameters.
6. Qualitative Monitoring: All qualitative records do not need to be submitted to DEMLR, however, the
records must be kept on file at the facility fora period of five years. This site is required to complete
qua litative"monitoring twice annually. Records were current and available for review.
Thank you again for your assistance with the inspection and for working to keep your facility compliant with

PURPOSE OF APPLICATION
On August 18,' 2015, the DAQ-WSRO received an application from Vulcan Construction Materials, LLC - Smith Grove Quarry
requesting a name change of the Air. Quality Permit 04339/R17. The permitted facility was previously named Vulcan Construction
Materials, LP - Smith Grove Quarry. The statutory conversion from a limited partnership (LP) to a limited liability corporation (LLC)
occurred on June 30, 2015. The application received contained Form AA with the appropriate authorized signature and number of
copies. Neither an application fee nor zoning consistency determination (ZCD) is required for a name change application. Therefore,
the application was considered complete for processing on the date received. Vulcan Construction Materials, LLC is registered with
current active status according to the NC Secretary of State (NCSOS) database.
A detailed regulatory review was not performed for this revision, because the facility's permit was recently renewed on April 28,
2014. There have been no regulatory changes since the last renewal, and no regulations require discussion due to the name change.
Please refer to the previous permit review for revision R17 written by ]alai Adouli, DAQ-WSRO Permits Coordinator, for a detailed
regulatory review.
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND COMPLIANCE
According to the report for the latest compliance inspection performed at the facility, written by this permit writer and dated August 3,
2015, "Smith Grove Quarry mines and crushes stone to provide aggregate to customers in their service area. The product is loaded
into trucks and sold on -site. [...] The facility operates 9.5 hours per day, 5 days a week for about 50 weeks per year." This permit
writer noted no permitting issues and found the facility to be operating in compliance with all applicable Air Quality standards and
regulations. The facility has not been issued any Notices of Deficiency or Violation in the past five years.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that Air Quality Permit 04339/R18 be issued to Vulcan Construction Materials, LLC - Smith Grove Quarry.

applicable fees. The NOI shall be submitted and a certificate of coverage issued prior to any
discharge of stormwater associated with industrial activity, mine dewatering wastewater, or
authorized process wastewater that has a point source discharge to the surface waters of the state.
This General Permit is applicable to mining and quarrying of nonmetallic minerals (except fuels)
including borrow pits (that would not be covered under the statewide DOT stormwater permit) and
active or inactive mines that discharge stormwater contaminated with, or that has come in contact
with, any overburden, raw material, intermediate products, finished products, byproducts or waste
products located at the site of such operations and stormwater runoff from vehicle maintenance
areas. This General Permit also covers discharge of wastewater from processing mined materials
and mine dewatering wastewater from the groundwater and/or stormwater that accumulates in
the mine pit.
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 under this General Permit be provided.
Any facility may apply for new or continued coverage under this permit until a Total Maximum
Daily Load (TMDL) for pollutants for stormwater or wastewater discharges is established. A TMDL
sets a pollutant -loading limit that affects a watershed, or portion of a watershed, draining to an
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
the Division 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 the permittee must identify impaired waters (scheduled
for TMDL development) and waters already subject to a TMDL in the Location Map or Site Map, as
outlined in the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP), Part I11. A list of approved TMDLs for
the state of North Carolina can be found at littp://iiortal.ncdenr.org/web/wq./ps/mtuLtmdl.]

Permit No. NCG020000
SECTION B: PERMITTED ACTIVITIES
Until this permit expires or is modified or revoked, the permittee is authorized to discharge
stormwater, mine dewatering, and process wastewater to the surface waters of North Carolina or a
separate storm sewer system which has been treated and managed in accordance with the terms
and conditions of this General Permit and the requirements of the permittee's Certificate of
Coverage (COC).
The permittee's COC is hereby incorporated by reference into this General Permit. Any
violation of the COC is a violation of this General Permit and subject to enforcement action as
provided in the 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. Discharges allowed by this permit must meet applicable wetland
standards as outlined in 15A NCAC 2B .0230 and .0231 and water quality certification requirements
as outlined in 15A NCAC 21-1.0500.
If mining activities will expand or change such that the types of discharges are affected, the
permittee most first contact DEMLR's Stormwater Permitting Program to determine if
modifications to the COC are necessary. The permittee is also responsible for contacting DEMLR if
modifications to the Mining Permit are necessary, as compliance with the Mining Permit is a
stipulation of this permit.
This permit does not relieve the permittee's responsibility for compliance with any other applicable
federal, state or local law, rule, standard, ordinance, order or decree.

PART II —OPERATION OF A TREATMENT FACILITY
Mining operations involving construction and operation of existing, new, and expanding
wastewater treatment facilities for mine dewatering or process wastewater (such as saw water,
wash water, etc.) shall be subject to the following operational requirements.
1. Operation and maintenance of treatment facilities must be in accordance with the
requirements in this General Permit. For the purposes of this permit no documentation
other than a signed Certificate of Coverage (COC) is required to operate a treatment facility.
2. Diversion or bypass of untreated wastewater from a treatment facility is prohibited except
under provisions of this permit in Part V, Section CA and Part V, Section E.B.
3. In the event that a facility fails to perform satisfactorily, including the creation of nuisance
conditions, the permittee shall take immediate corrective action, including those actions
that may be required by the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (NC DEQ
formerly NC DENR), such as the construction of additional or replacement treatment or
disposal Facilities.
h. The issuance of this permit shall not relieve the permittee of the responsibility for damages
to surface waters of the State resulting from the operation of a treatment facility.
S. Any discharge from a treatment system to groundwater must protect the groundwater
standards specified in 15A NCAC 2L, Groundwater Classification and Standards.
b. Any groundwater quality monitoring, as deemed reasonably necessary by NC DEQ shall be
provided.
7. Flocculants evaluated by NC DEQ may be used if administered in accordance with maximum
application doses and any other current requirements. No other chemical flocculants shall
be used in the treatment facility without written authorization from the Division. Evaluated
Polyacrylamide (PAMS) information can be found on the Stormwater Permitting Program
website.
8. All discharges of mine dewatering wastewater and process wastewater will be monitored in
accordance with Part IV, Section D of this permit.

Permit No. NCG020000
PART III — STORMWATER POLLUTION AND PREVENTION PLAN (SPPP)
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
shall be considered public information in accordance with Part V, Standard Conditions for NPDES
General Permits, Section E, Paragraph 3 of this General Permit. The SPPP shall include, at a
minimum, the following items:
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 water(s) to which the stormwater outfall(s)
discharges, or if the discharge is to a municipal separate storm sewer system, the
name of the municipality and the ultimate receiving waters; and latitude and
longitude of the point(s) of stormwater discharge associated with industrial activity.
The general location map (or alternatively the site map) shall identify whether each
receiving water is 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 parameter(s) 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 and wastewater 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; 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) with design capacities; and
permanent impervious surfaces, such as roads or process areas that are unlikely to
change frequently. The site map shall include a graphic scale indication and north
arrow. In addition, the following industrial activity areas must also be identified on
the site map: fueling, vehicle maintenance and repair, washing of materials or
equipment.
(d) A list of significant spills or leaks of pollutants that have occurred 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. If non-stormwater discharges are present, the permittee shall identify the
source and record whether the discharge is otherwise permitted (by rule or a different
permit). The permittee shall evaluate the environmental significance of the non-
stormwater discharges and include a summary written record with the certification.
Part Ili Page 1 of 5

Permit No. NCG020000
The certification statement and summary written record shall be retained with the
SPPP, and shall be dated and signed in accordance with the requirements found in
Part V, Standard Conditions for NPDES General Permits, Section B, Paragraph S.
2. Erosion and Sedimentation Control. The permittee shall implement the management
practices and the erosion and sedimentation control measures that are included in the
mining permit or erosion and sedimentation control permit issued by the Division of
Energy, Mineral, and Land Resources (DEMLR). Compliance with the DEMLR issued
Mining Permit is considered a requirement of this General Permit. Any deviation from
the Mining Permit and/or Erosion and Sedimentation Control Permit, or amendments to the
issued permit, that impacts water quality shall constitute a violation of the terms and
conditions of this General Permit. All erosion and sediment controls shall be inspected, and
a respective written record of repairs and maintenance shall be available to DEMLR
inspectors. 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. Once an area is released by DEMLR in accordance with NC G.S.
Chapter 74, Article 7, it shall no longer be subject to this General Permit.
Stormwater Management Strategy. The Stormwater Management Strategy shall contain a
narrative description of the materials management practices employed which control or
minimize the exposure of significant materials to stormwater and the transport of
significant materials by stormwater, including structural and nonstructural measures. The
Stormwater Management Strategy, at a minimum, shall incorporate the following:
(a) Management of Stormwater Runoff and Runon. The permittee shall maintain
stormwater BMPs for mine excavation and disturbance areas, process areas, and
any other areas associated with mining or vehicle maintenance activities. In
addition, controls 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 and runon in a manner that reduces
pollutants in stormwater discharges leaving the site. Appropriate BMPs may
include but are 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).
(b] BMP Controls Inspection and Maintenance. BMPs shall be inspected by or under
the direction of the permittee at least once every seven calendar days, unless the
site is inactive. All inspections and BMP repairs shall be documented by written
record.
Reduced BMP Inspections for inactive mines: Dormant Site Status is available for
inactive mines that have suspended all industrial activities, and if the permittee
has certified to DEMLR's Stormwater Permitting Program that all portions of the site
where clearing, grading, and/or excavation activities have occurred have been
stabilized with vegetation. Under dormant status the permittee may conduct BMP
inspections once a month. The permittee shall send written certification to the
DEMLR Regional Office that the site is inactive, and the Regional Office may grant
reduced BMP inspection frequency on the basis of the permittee's certification. The
permitted site may be subject to an inspection for verification. The DEMLR Regional
Office will provide confirmation of dormant status and expected BMP inspection
frequency in writing to the permittee.
Part III Page 2 of 5

Permit No. NCG020000
In addition, also under dormant status but only upon a favorable site
inspection by the Regional Office, the Regional Office Engineer may exempt the
permittee from weekly and monthly BMP inspections in writing if stormwater
structural BMPs have been removed and the Regional Office determines that
structural BMPs are not necessary because of sufficient site stabilization. However,
the permittee must still perform an annual inspection as part of the SPPP
Annual Update outlined in 8. of this section. In either case, the permittee shall
notify the Regional Office prior to resuming industrial activities at an inactive mine.
A rain gauge and monitoring records are to be kept on site. BMPs shall be operated
and maintained. BMPs must be cleaned out when sediment storage capacity is at
50 percent of the design sediment volume. If visible sedimentation is leaving the
property, corrective action shall be taken to reduce the discharge of sediments.
Visible sedimentation shall be recorded with a brief explanation of measures taken
to prevent future releases, as well as any measures taken to remove the sediment
that has left the site. Visible sedimentation records shall be kept onsite. All other
stormwater specific controls (e.g. oil/water separators) shall be inspected and
qualitatively monitored (as per Part IV. C) on a semi-annual schedule. A log of all
sampling data, including activities taken to implement BMPs associated with vehicle
maintenance activities, shall be maintained and incorporated into the SPPP and kept
onsite and available for inspection purposes. These items shall be available for the
duration of the permit term and made available to the Director upon request. These
data shall be sent to the Regional Office upon request.
(c) Secondary Containment Requirements and Records. Secondary containment is
required for: bulk storage of liquid materials including petroleum products; storage
in an�mount 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 the purposes of
effective stormwater pollution prevention, the SPPP is intended to be broader and
more comprehensive than a federal oil Spill Prevention, Control, and
Countermeasure Plan (SPCC). For facilities subject to a federal SPCC Plan, any
portion of the SPCC Plan fully compliant with the requirements of this permit may
be used to demonstrate compliance with this permit.
4. 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 (or the team) 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
Part III Page 3 of 5

Permit No. NCG020000
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) maybe
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.
Preventative Maintenance and Good Housekeeping Program. A preventative
maintenance and good housekeeping program shall be developed and implemented. The
program shall ensure equipment used during mining activity on a site must be operated and
maintained to prevent potential pollution of the surface water or groundwaters of the state.
Fuels, lubricants, coolants, hydraulic fluids, or any other petroleum products shall not be
discharged on the ground or into surface waters. Spent lubricants and fuels shall be
disposed of properly and in accordance with applicable federal disposal regulations. Spilled
fluids shall be cleaned up to the maximum extent practicable and properly disposed of to
prevent entry to surface waters or groundwaters of the state. The program shall establish
schedules of inspections, maintenance, and housekeeping measures for vehicle
maintenance and industrial activity areas (including material storage and handling areas,
disposal areas, process areas, loading and unloading areas, and haul roads), where not
already addressed under another element of the SPPP. Timely compliance with the
established schedules for inspections, maintenance, and housekeeping shall be recorded
and maintained in the SPPP.
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. Additional required training
items include: used oil management, spent solvent management, and fueling procedures.
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(s) responsible for the
overall coordination, development, implementation, and revision to 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 and
updated 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 ofsignif cant 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;
(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)
Part III Page 4 of 5

Permit No. NCG020000
form, available from the Stormwater Permitting Program's website (See'Monitoring
Forms' here: http://Vortal.ncdenr.or2/web/lr/npdes-stormwater).
(e) a comparison of the permittee's estimate or record of the pastyear's average daily and
maximum daily wastewater flow rates with the permittee's estimate of the coming
year's average daily and maximum daily wastewater flow rates, taking into account any
changes in the mine footprint or operational procedures anticipated in the coming
year. For any anticipated increased wastewater discharges into receiving waters
classified as HQW or ORW, the permittee shall compare the estimated increased
discharge flow rates to 50 percent of the receiving water 7Q10. (See Table 8, Footnote
7.)
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
V, Section B, Paragraph 5) to the Director that the changes have been made.
R. 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 that comes in contact
with any overburden that is not stabilized, raw materials, intermediate products, finished
products, byproducts or waste products located on the site covered by this permit.
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.

PART IV — MONITORING, CONTROLS, AND LIMITATIONS FOR PERMITTED
DISCHARGES
SECTION A: STORMWATER DISCHARGES — ANALYTICAL MONITORING
REQUIREMENTS
Regulated industrial stormwater discharges are discharges of stormwater-only flows from
mining activity areas, including (but not limited to) areas of mine excavation, other land
disturbance, process areas, and vehicle maintenance. This section does not apply to wastewater
discharges from mine dewatering and process areas. Analytical monitoring for stormwater
discharges shall be performed for parameters as specified in Tables 1 through 3.
Monitoring Exemption
Analytical monitoring is not required for any basin or pond designed to contain the 25-year, 24-
hour storm (see Part Vl, Definitions) without discharging, and that can regain capacity to hold such
an event within five (5) days' time through means other than discharge to surface waters. A basin
or pond that meets this provision is considered a non -discharging stormwater control measure.
All analytical monitoring shall be performed during a measurable storm event at each stormwater
discharge outfall (SDO). Only SDOs discharging stormwater associated with industrial activity
must be sampled (See Definitions).
A measurable storm event for the purposes of this General Permit is a storm event that results
in an actual discharge from the permitted site outfall. The time between this storm event and
the previous measureable storm event must be at least 48 hours. See Definitions.

Footnotes:
1. Measurement Frequency: Twice per year (unless other provisions of this permit require 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 shall continue a monthly
monitoring and reporting schedule in Tier Two or Tier Three status until relieved by the provisions of
this permit or the Division.
2. Grab samples shall be collected within the first 30 minutes of discharge. Where physical separation
between outfalls prevents collecting all samples within the first 30 minutes, the permittee shall begin
sampling within the first 30 minutes, and shall continue until completed.
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 Division's letter granting ROS shall be
kept on site with the SPPP.
4. Turbidity must be monitored at the stormwater discharge outfall (SDO). In addition to the SDO, the
permittee may elect to alto monitor turbidity in the receiving water, directly upstream (U) and
Part IV Page 1 of 12 Pages

Permit No. NCG020000
downstream (D) of the stormwater discharge outfall or group of outfalls to demonstrate the discharge
has not caused a water quality standard violation of turbidity. If SDO turbidity level exceeds the
benchmark, and the permittee cannot demonstrate the discharge has not caused a violation of the
instream water quality standard, the Division may require the permittee to monitor turbidity up -
and downstream as part of a Tier 2 or 3 response.
For each sampled measureable storm event the total precipitation must be recorded. An on -site rain
gauge or local rain gauge reading must be recorded.
The permittee shall complete the analytical samplings in accordance with the schedule specified in
Table 2. Sampling is not required outside of the facility's normal operating hours (unless the mine
is inactive). A minimum of 60 days must separate Period 1 and Period 2 sample dates, unless
monthly monitoring has been instituted under other requirements of this permit.

Footnotes:
1. Maintain semi-annual monitoring during permit renewal process (unless other provisions of this permit
require monthly sampling). If at the expiration of the General Permit, the permittee has submitted an
application for renewal of coverage before the submittal deadline, the permittee will be considered for
renewed coverage. The applicant must continue monitoring until the renewed Certificate of Coverage
(COC) is issued.
2. If no discharge occurs during the sampling period, the permittee must record "No Flow' or "No
Discharge" within 30 days of the end of the sampling period in the facility's monitoring records. "No
Flow" or "No Discharge" shall be reported on the Annual Summary Discharge Monitoring Report (DMR)
due by March 1,
3. Monitoring periods remain constant throughout the five-year term of the General Permit. For permittees
continuing with renewed coverage under this General Permit, Year 1 begins in Period 2 on October 1,
2015, and for all permittees Year 5 - Period 2 ends on September 30, 2020.
In all cases, the permittee shall report the analytical results from each sample within the
monitoring period (as specified in Part V, Standard Conditions, Section E) once a year (by March 1).
The permittee shall compare those results to the benchmark values in Table 3. 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. Sample results that exceed benchmark values must be submitted no later than 30
days from the date the facility receives the sampling results (see Part V, Section E). Note that
Tier 1 and Tier 2 responses far turbidity benchmark exceedances are specifically outlined below Table
3 and differ from the Tier structure on page 4 of Part IV.

The discharge shall not cause the turbidity of the receiving water to exceed Water Quality
Standards:
10 NTU (freshwater streams, lakes, and reservoirs designated as trout waters);
25 NTU (all lakes and reservoirs, and all salt waters);
50 NTU (all other streams and surface waters).
If turbidity of the receiving stream exceeds these levels due to natural background conditions, the
existing turbidity level shall not be increased as a result of the stormwater discharges.
The benchmark values in Table 3 are not enforceable permit limits. An exceedance of a
stormwater benchmark value is not a permit violation; however, failure to respond to the
exceedances as outlined in this permit is a violation of permit conditions. The benchmarks are
intended to reduce polluted discharges by triggering the permittee's required response actions
under Tiers One, Two, and Three. See below the descriptions of Tiers One, Two, and Three
response actions (Standard "Tier Three" also applies to turbidity).
Tier One Response for Turbidity
If the first valid sampling result required for the monitoring period is above the turbidity benchmark at any outfall,
and the permittee cannot demonstrate the discharge has not caused or contributed to a Water Quality Standard
violation with up- and downstream sampling results, then the permittee shall:
I. Identify and evaluate possible causes of the benchmark exceedance within one week of receiving sample results.
2. Identify and implement feasible actions to improve turbidity levels in the discharge within one month.
3. Record each instance of a Tier One response for turbidity in the SPPP.
Tier Two Response for Turbidity I
If the first valid sampling results required from two consecutive monitoring periods (omitting periods with no
discharge) are above the turbidity benchmark at any specific outfall, and the permittee cannot demonstrate the
discharge has not caused or contributed to a Water Quality Standard violation with up- and downstream sampling
results, then the permittee shall:
1. Repeat all the required actions outlined above in Tier One.
2. Contact the DEMLR Regional Office Engineer as provided below in Tier Three. The Regional Office Engineer may
direct the response actions on the part of the permittee as provided in Tier Three, including requiring the
permittee to sample up- and downstream of the SDO or group of SDOs. The Regional Office may work with the
permittee to designate appropriate instream sampling points and document that determination. The permittee
will be considered to be obligated under the Tier Three provisions.
3. Record each instance of a Tier Two response for turbidity in the SPPP.
Part IV Page 3 of 12 Pages

Permit No. NCGO20000
Tier One
If: The first valid sampling results required for the monitoring period are above a benchmark value for any
parameter except turbidity at any outfall,
Then: The permittee shall:
1. Conduct a stormwater management inspection within two weeks of receiving the sample results.
2. Identify and evaluate possible causes of the benchmark value exceedance.
3. Identify potential, and select the specific feasible: source controls, operational controls, or physical
improvements to reduce concentrations of the parameters of concern.
4. Implement the selected feasible 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
exceedance, the inspection date, the personnel conducting the inspection, the selected feasible actions, and
the date the selected feasible actions were implemented.
b. Note: Exceedances for a different parameter separately trigger the tiered response requirements.
Tier Two
If: The first valid sampling results from two consecutive monitoring periods (omitting periods with no discharge) are
above the benchmark values for any specific parameter except turbidity 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 monthly reporting for all parameters (including turbidity) at
every outfall where a sampling result exceeded the benchmark value for two consecutive samples. Monthly
(analytical and qualitative) monitoring 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 exercise the option of contacting the DEMLR Regional
Office Engineer as provided below in Tier Three. The Regional Office Engineer may direct the response
actions on the part of the permittee as provided in Tier Three. The permittee will be considered to be
obligated under the Tier Three provisions.
S. Maintain a record of the Tier Two response in the SPPP.
b. Continue Tier Two response obligations throughout the permit COC renewal
Tier Three
If the valid sampling results required for the permit monitoring periods exceed the benchmark value for any
specific parameter (including turbidity) at any specific outfall on four occasions, the permittee shall notify the
DEMLR Regional Office Engineer in writing within 30 days of receipt of the fourth analytical results. DEMLR
may but is not limited to:
• require the permittee to revise, increase, or decrease the monitoring and reporting frequency for some or
all parameters, 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; or
• require the permittee to continue Tier Three obligations through the permit COC renewal process.

Permit No. NCG020000
Failure to monitor and report per the permit terms may result in the Division requiriin
monthly monitoring and reporting for all parameters for a specified time period. Lack of a
discharge from an outfall for the monitoring period, or inability to collect a sample because of
adverse weather conditions during a monitoring period will not constitute failure to monitor, as
long as those conditions are reported on the monitoring period DMR and noted in the SPPP. (See
Adverse Weather in Definitions.) Similarly, sampling is not required outside of the facility's normal
operating hours (unless the mine is inactive).
Reduced monitoring for inactive mines: Dormant Site Status is available for inactive mine sites that
have suspended all industrial activities, and if the permittee has certified in writing to DEMLR's
Stormwater Permitting Program that all portions of the site with clearing, grading, and/or
excavation activities have been stabilized with vegetation. Upon a favorable site inspection by the
Regional Office, the Regional Office Engineer may exempt the permittee from stormwater analytical
monitoring, stormwater qualitative monitoring, and wastewater monitoring. The DEMLR letter
granting dormant status must be kept with the SPPP, and available for inspection within a
reasonable time of the Division's request.
In the event that the Division releases the permittee from continued monthly monitoring and reporting
under Tier Two or Tier Three, DEMLR'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 all results from all valid discharge samples taken during each
monitoring period. 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.
SECTION B: STORMWATER DISCHARGES — ON -SITE VEHICLE MAINTENANCE
MONITORING REQUIREMENTS
Facilities that have any on -site vehicle maintenance activity that uses more than 55 gallons of
new motor oil per month when averaged over the calendar year shall perform analytical
monitoring as specified below in Table 4 and in accordance with the schedule presented in Tahle 2
(Section A). Sampling results shall be reported as described in Part V, Section E. 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.

Permit No. NCGO20000
1. Measurement Frequency: Twice per year (unless other provisions of this permit require monthly
sampling) during a measureable storm event (See Table 2), 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 shall
continue a monthly monitoring and reporting schedule in Tier Two or Tier Three status until relieved
by the provisions of this permit or the Division.
2. Grab samples shall be collected within the first 30 minutes of discharge. Where physical separation
between outfalls prevents collecting all samples within the first 30 minutes, the permittee shall begin
sampling within the first 30 minutes, and shall continue until completed.
3. Sample Location: Samples shall be collected at each vehicle maintenance area stormwater
discharge outfall (SDO), unless representative outfall status (ROS) has been granted. A copy of the
Division's letter granting ROS shall be kept on site with the SPPP.
4. For each sampled measureahle storm event, an on -site or local 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. A minimum of 60 days must separate Period 1 and Period 2 sample dates unless monthly
monitoring has been instituted under other requirements of this permit.
In all cases, the permittee shall report the analytical results from each sample within the
monitoring period (as required in Part V, Standard Conditions, Section E.) once a year (by March 1).
The permittee shall compare those results to the benchmark values in Table 5. 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 the descriptions of the Tiers One, Two, and Three required response actions in
Section A. Sample results that exceed benchmark values must be submitted no later than 30 days
from the date the facility receives the sampling results (see Part V, Section E).

The benchmark values in Table 5 are not enforceable permit limits. An exceedance of a stormwater
benchmark value is not a permit violation, however, failure to respond to the exceedances as outlined
in this permit is a violation of permit conditions. The benchmarks are intended to reduce polluted
discharges by triggering the permittee's required response actions under Tiers One, Two, and Three.
Failure to monitor and report Der the Dermit terms may result in the Division reouirin
monthly monitorine and revortine for all parameters for a specified time period. Lack of a
discharge from an outfall for the monitoring period, or inability to collect a sample because of
adverse weather conditions during a monitoring period will not constitute failure to monitor vehicle
maintenance area discharges, as long as those conditions are reported on the monitoring period
DMR and noted in the SPPP. (See Adverse Weather in Definitions.) Similarly, sampling is not
required outside of the facility's normal operating hours (unless the mine is inactive).
Part IV Page 6 of 12 Pages

Permit No. NCG020000
SECTION C: STORMWATER DISCHARGES — QUALITATIVE MONITORING
REQUIREMENTS
The purpose of qualitative monitoring is to implement a quick and inexpensive way to evaluate the
effectiveness of the permittee's SPPP and to identify the potential for 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. Qualitative
monitoring shall be performed as specified in Table 6, whether semi-annual or more frequently as
may be required per the Qualitative Monitoring Response requirements below. Inability to
monitor because of adverse weather or lack of discharge during the monitoring period must be
documented in the SPPP and recorded on the Qualitative Monitoring Report (see Adverse Weather
in Definitions). Similarly, monitoring is not required outside of the facility's normal operating
hours (unless the mine is inactive). Only SDOs discharging stormwater associated with industrial
activity must he 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.

The permittee must continue qualitative monitoring throughout the permit renewal process.
2. Monitoring Location: Qualitative monitoring shall be performed at each stormwater discharge outfall
(SDO) regardless of representative outfall status (ROS), unless ROS isgranted specifcallyfor
qualitative monitoring. A copy of any letter granting ROS shall be kept on site. DEMLR's letter
granting ROS remains in effect through the subsequent reissuance of this permit and as long as the
pertinent site conditions and operations remain unchanged, unless the ROS letter provides for other
conditions or duration.
Part IV Page 7 of 12 Pages

Permit No. NCG020000
Representative outfall status (ROS) specifically for qualitative monitoring may be granted for some
stormwater outfalls and must be documented by DEMLR. Qualitative monitoring records shall not
be turned into the Division except when requested. Qualitative monitoring records shall be
maintained on site as part of the SPPP.
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 feasible corrective
actions within 60 days, per the 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, identifying the potential
for 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, DEMLR
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; or
• require the permittee to perform upstream and downstream monitoring to characterize
impacts on receiving waters.

SECTION D: WASTEWATER DISCHARGES — ANALYTICAL MONITORING
REQUIREMENTS AND EFFLUENT LIMITATIONS
This General Permit authorizes the discharge of process wastewater associated with two distinct
activities: 1) mine dewatering and 2) process wastewater associated with mining operations as
described below in 1.-4. of this Section. The authorization to discharge wastewater is specifically
identified on each permittee's COC. Process wastewater discharges generated by any other
activity are not authorized under this permit, except allowable non-stormwater discharges
permitted by 15A NCAC 2H .0106(o. Mine dewatering or other wastewaters commingled with
stormwater shall be considered wastewater.
1. MINE DEWATERING WASTEWATER
During the period beginning on the effective date of the permit and lasting until expiration, the
permittee is authorized to discharge mine dewatering wastewater controlled in accordance with
the conditions of this permit. Mine dewatering requirements apply to all mines that dewater from
pits including quarries, clay brick, sand and gravel, borrow pits, and refractory mining, as well as
mines with similar discharges. See Part VI (Definitions) and federal regulations in 40 CFR §436 for
definitions of the terms "mine dewatering" and "mine" specific to industry sub -sectors. For
Construction Sand and Gravel or Industrial Sand mines, "mine dewatering" wastewater includes
wet pit overflows caused solely by direct rainfall and groundwater seepage.
Permittees conducting mine dewatering activities that have the potential to drain wetlands
or othersurface waters must have developed and implemented a Pumping Operation
and Monitoring (POM) Plan approved by the Division. Approval may be coordinated
with other Divisions in NC DEQ such as the Division of Water Resources. POM Plans
shall include, but are not limited to:
• Groundwater monitoring strategies to demonstrate the effect of pumping.
• Detailed plans to maintain the surrounding hydrology that protects the affected
streams and wetlands and the respective monitoring to demonstrate compliance.
• The pumping regime deemed necessary to protect affected streams and wetlands.
Alternative site specific pumping and monitoring regimes may be approved by the
Division on a case -by -case basis. At the Division's discretion, approval of the POM Plan
may be required prior to coverage under this General Permit.
Mine dewatering discharges to land surfaces (without the potential to discharge directly to
surface waters), where no chemicals are used in the mining process, may be permitted by regulation
under 15A NCAC 02T.01 13(a)(1 6) and therefore notsubfect to the provisions of this permit.
2. PROCESS WASTEWATER
During the period beginning on the effective date of the permit and lasting until expiration, the
permittee is authorized to discharge treated process wastewater from mining operations. Process
wastewater from mining operations includes, but may not be limited to, the water involved in: the
slurry transport, washing, or sawing of mined material; air emissions control or processing exclusive
of mining of sand, gravel, and stone washing operations; dimension stone cutting operations; and air
scrubbing and dust control operations. See Part VI (Definitions) and federal regulations for
definitions of the terms "process wastewater" in 40 CFR §122.2 and "process generated wastewater"
specific to mining industry sub -sectors in 40 CFR §436. Treatment may involve conveyance through
erosion and sedimentation control (E&SC) structures and/or other engineered treatment systems.
Part IV Page 9 of 12 Pages

Permit No. NCG020000
3. COMMINGLED STORMWATER AND WASTEWATER DISCHARGES
If mine dewatering or authorized process wastewaters commingle with stormwater prior to
discharge, sampling the combined discharge under this Section D will meet the monitoring
requirements of this permit. Sampling shall be performed during the discharge; these events may or
may not be associated with rainfall.
4. RECYCLE SYSTEMS
Authorized process wastewater discharges overflows from a recycle system to surface waters are
subject to the provisions, monitoring requirements, and effluent limitations in this General Permit.
MONITORING FOR MINE DEWATERING AND AUTHORIZED PROCESS WASTEWATER
DISCHARGES
Analytical monitoring of mine dewatering and authorized process wastewater shall be performed
as specified below in Table 7. For each parameter, an effluent limitation is contained in Table 8.
An exceedance of any of these limitations results in a violation of the permit conditions and may be
subject to enforcement action as specified in Part V, Section A.2 of this permit. In all cases, the
permittee shall report the analytical results from each sample within the monitoring period (as
specified in Part V, Standard Conditions, Section E) once a year (by March 1). Sample results that
exceed an effluent limitation must be submitted to the Regional Office no later than 30 days from
the date the facility receives the sampling results (see Part V, Section E).

1. The monitoring frequency is quarterly for the first year (see Table 9), and then semi-annually. If a
sample concentration exceeds any effluent limit in Table 8, monitoring frequency (all parameters)
shall return to (or remain) quarterly, until four (4) consecutive quarterly samples all meet or are below
the limit for all parameters. allowing the permittee to resume/reduce to semi-annual monitoring.
2. Except for mine dewatering of clay pits, a grab sample is not required for these parameters from a
basin/pond designed to contain or treat mine dewatering wastewater that only discharges in
response to rainfall in excess of the 10-yr, 24-hr storm.
3. Sample Location: E - Effluent, U - Upstream, D - Downstream. Turbidity must be monitored at the
effluent (E). If effluent levels exceed the Water Quality Standard of the receiving water, the permittee
must begin sampling turbidity directly upstream (U) and downstream (D) of the effluent outfall or group
of outfalls, in addition to the effluent, upon the next monitoring period. The permittee may contact the
Part IV Page 10 of 12 Pages

Permit No. NCG020000
DEMLR Regional Office for assistance in determining the best instream sample points. The RO may also
advise the permittee to relocate self -established instream sample points if appropriate.
4. All facilities that are mining Industrial Sand are required to monitor TSS and are subject to the TSS
limits in Table B. All other types of mines covered by this permit are also required to monitor TSS, but
are not necessarily subject to the TSS limits in Table 8, Unless discharge is to HQW, ORW, or PNA waters.
S. Only facilities discharging to waters classified as HQW, ORW, SA, SB, Tr, or PNA are required to monitor
for settleable solids.
6. Only facilities discharging to waters classified as SA waters are required to monitor for fecal coliform.
7. Daily flow rate shall be recorded by a continuous flow measurement instrument. Alternatively, pump
curves and pump logs may be used as a means to calculate the daily flow rate.

Maximum and Monthly Average value. More frequent samples may be conducted to calculate averages
but must all be reported to NC DEQ.
2. Limits applicable to Industrial Sand mines. More stringent water quality -based TSS limits apply to all
mines that discharge to High Quality Waters (HQW), including HQWs and ORWs that are trout waters
(Tr), and Primary Nursery Area (PNA) waters (See 3.).
3. Monthly Average and Daily Maximum TSS Limits apply to all discharges (regardless of mine type) to
waters designated as HQW, ORW, HQW/ORW Tr, and PNA.
4. Designated swamp waters can have a pH as low as 4.3 because of natural conditions. In such cases,
Federal Effluent Guidelines (40 CFR §436) allow the lower range of the pH limitations to be adjusted
downward to no lower than S.O. The permittee must sample instream to demonstrate a lower limit is
appropriate.
S. No limit in the effluent discharge applies, but turbidity in the receiving waters shall not exceed levels
described below as a result of wastewater discharges.
6. The total daily flow rate of wastewater for all discharges combined (that discharge to the same receiving
waters) shall not exceed 50 percent of the total in -stream flow rate of the receiving waters under 7Q10
conditions in HQW/ORW waters, including HQW/ORW trout and PNA waters.
The discharge shall not cause the turbidity of the receiving water to exceed Water Quality
Standards:
10 NTU (freshwater streams, lakes, and reservoirs designated as trout waters);
25 NTU (all lakes and reservoirs, and all salt waters);
50 NTU (all other streams and surface waters).
Part IV Page 11 of 12 Pages

Permit No. NCG020000
This General Permit requires the measurement of turbidity in the permittee's discharge, but does
not impose a turbidity effluent limit. If turbidity of the receiving stream exceeds these levels due to
natural background conditions, the existing turbidity level shall not be increased. If the turbidity
in -stream exceeds these levels as a result of wastewater discharges, this water quality standard
violation subjects the permittee to possible compliance and enforcement action.
The permittee shall complete the analytical samplings of wastewater discharges in accordance with
the schedule specified in Table 9.

1. Maintain quarterly (or semi-annual) monitoring during permit renewal. If at the expiration of the
General Permit, the permittee has submitted an application for renewal of coverage before the submittal
deadline, the permittee will be considered for renewed coverage. The applicant must continue
monitoring until the renewed Certificate of Coverage (COC) is issued.
2. If no discharge occurs during the sampling period, the permittee must record "No Flow" or "No
Discharge" within 30 days of the end of the sampling period in the facility's monitoring records. "No
Flow" or "No Discharge" shall be reported on the Annual Summary Discharge Monitoring Report (DMR).
This DMR is to be submitted to the Division of Water Resource's Central Files at the DWR Central Office
by March 1 of each year (in accordance with Part V, Section E).
3. Monitoring periods remain constant throughout the five-year term of the General Permit. For permittees
continuing with renewed coverage under this General Permit, Year 1 begins in Period 4 on October 1,
2015, and for all permittees Year 5 - Period 4 ends on September 30, 2020.
Failure to monitor and report l2er the 12ermit terms may result in the Division requiring
monthly monitoring and reporting for all l2arameters for a specified time period.
SECTION E: BMP CONDITIONS AND RESIDUALS MANAGEMENT
1. BMPs FOR BLASTING AND FLOCCULANTS
The permittee shall utilize best management practices (BMPs) to ensure that contaminants do not
enter the surface waters as a result of blasting at the site. Flocculants evaluated by the Division
may be used if administered in accordance with maximum application doses and any other current
requirements.
2. RESIDUALS MANAGEMENT
The residuals. generated from treatment facilities used to meet the effluent limitations must be
disposed of in accordance with applicable standards and in a manner such as to prevent any

Vulcan Materials — Smith Grove Quarry
Certificate of Coverage No. NCG020081
Davie County
Dear Mr. Knopf:
On March lb, 2011, Mike Mickey of this office met with you, Bert Bond and Randy Benton to
perform a General Stormwater Permit Inspection at the Smith Grove Quarry. The inspection found the
facility to be in compliance with the state issued stormwater permit. This inspection evaluated the five (5)
areas designated on the attached inspection form. Observations from each area are addressed below:
1. Permit
Vulcan Materials holds Certificate of Coverage 9 NCG020081 for the discharge of stormwater and process
wastewater from the quarry. The permit expires next on December 31, 2014.
2. Records/Reports
Part 11I, Section A of the permit requires the development of a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP).
A copy of the SPPP was reviewed during the inspection. This plan was found to be thorough and complete
and addressed all items as outlined by the permit.'
3. Facility Site Review
Observations during the inspection found the facility to be well managed. No concerns or problems were
noted regarding stormwater runoff.
4. Effluent/Receiving Waters
The SPPP site map identified four separate outfalls. Outfall 001 consists of pit dewatering, outfall 002 is for
the vehicle maintenance area, outfall 003 is for the yard and stockpile areas and outfall 004 receives
stormwater from the asphalt plant. All outfalls discharge into Cedar Creek, Class "C" Waters in the Yadkin -
Pee Dee River Basin. This inspection was prompted by Vulcan's Representative Outfall Status request
asking that monitoring of outfall 004 be discontinued and outfall 003 be monitored instead. This request will
be approved by separate letter.

5. Monitoring Progrartt
Part III, Sections B (stormwater only, outfalls 003 and 004) and C (vehicle maintenance, outfall 002) of the
permit require the collection of semi-annual analytical samples of stormwater runoff from the site. This
sampling was performed and documented as required. Results obtained at both outfalls were below the
established benchmark values. It was noted that the data sheets from R&A Labs listed Oil & Grease instead
of Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons (TPH) for outfall 002. Please make sure that R&A is performing EPA
Test Method 1664 for TPH at this outfall.
Part I1, Section E (pit dewatering, outall 001) of the permit requires the collection of quarterly samples of the
treated process wastewater from the pit dewatering outfali. This monitoring was also performed as required.
This discharge was in compliance with the effluent limitations found in Table 8. The monitoring results for
Sections B, C and E of the permit must be submitted to DWQ on the stormwater and wastewater annual
summary forms on or before March 1 of each year.
Part 11, Section D of the permit requires that qualitative (visual) monitoring be performed and documented
semi-annually at each outfall. The inspection noted that this monitoring was being performed as required at
each of the four outfalls. These qualitative records do not need to be submitted to the DWQ but must be kept
on file at the facility for a period of five years.
Your efforts to comply with the stormwater permit are appreciated. If you have any questions
concerning this letter, please contact Mike Mickey or me at [phone].

waived. This approval is effective with the next sampling event. Please note that Part III, Section D of the permit
still requires that the Qualitative Monitoring must still be performed at least annually at outfall 004.
Please remember that any actions you initiate in response to benchmark exceedences as directed in the tiered
response provisions of your permit must address all drainage areas represented by SDO 003, where appropriate.
Please append this letter to your Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) or permit to document that
representative outfall status has been approved. If changes in drainage areas, structures, processes, storage
practices, or other activities occur that significantly alter the basis of this approval, representative outfall status may
no longer be valid. You should either.resume sampling at all SDOs, or reapply to this office for representative
outfall status based on updated information. If you have any questions or comments concerning this letter, please
contact Mike Mickey or me at [phone].

if o facility is required to sample multiple discharge locations with verysimilar stormwater discharges, the
permittee may petition the Director for Representative Outfall Status (ROS). DWQ may grant Representative
Outfall Status if stormwater discharges from a single outfall are representative of discharges from multiple
outfalls. Approved ROS will reduce the number of outfalls where analytical sampling requirements apply.
If Representative Outfall Status is granted, ALL out are still subject to the qualitative monitoring
requirements of the facility's permit —unless otherwise allowed by the permit (such as NCGO20000) and DWQ
approval. The approval letter from DWQ must be kept on site with the facility's Stormwater Pollution
Prevention Plan. The facility must notify DWQ in writing if any changes affect representative status.
For questions, please contact the DWQ Regional Office for your area (see page 3).

SECTION 5.0 DISCHARGE SAMPLING AND ANALYSIS
The General Permit requires sampling and analysis of point source discharges that fall in the following
categories.
Mine dewatering and/or discharges of process wastewater, including commingled
stormwater.
Stormwater discharges from other plant areas where the stormwater has contacted
areas directly related land disturbance and process areas..
Stormwater discharges from on -site vehicle maintenance areas.
5.1 Process Water and Stormwater Sampling/Analysis Program
Refer to Table 1 for required sample frequency and analytical parameters. There are three
appropriate sampling location at the Smith Grove Quarry which will be used to sample various
process water and stormwater discharges. Each outfall to be sampled is listed below along with
a brief description of each outfall's type of discharge.

Cedar Creek
Stormwater
Stormwater associated with industrial
80031'26"
activity. This sample location is
representative of all discharges from yard,
material stockpile, and stripping and
overburden storage areas.
Notes: There are a total of four discharge points (3 Stormwater, 1 process water) at the
Smith Grove Quarry site.
Mine dewatering flows and runoff from yard, overburden disposal, and process
areas which drain to the pit are normally pumped to the wash water system for
make-up but can be pumped, if necessary, to off -site discharge at outfall 158-001.
Outfall 158-002 is the overflow from a small pond which collects the drainage from
around the shop area. Although this pond overflows very rarely, outfall 158-002 is
the appropriate sampling point for discharges associated with vehicle maintenance
should they occur.
Outfall 003 drains material stockpile areas and disturbed areas associated with
quarry expansion to the north.
Outfall 004 currently drains a small overburden area, and larger area of undisturbed
Vulcan property. This outfall may receive discharges from future stripping and
overburden storage. The location also receives runoff from an asphalt plant and
should be monitored and controlled under that facilities stormwater permit. ,•

The following table summarizes the total additional outfalls at this site which will not
require sampling. The abovementioned outfalls that will be sampled have been linked to
the following outfalls based on the overall type of discharge each additional outfall will
represent All outfall locations are indicated on the partial mine map in Appendix I.
Documentation of representative outfall status should be kept on site within the Mineral
Mining Plan.

DISCUSSION
The facility was in operation during the inspection. The facility was crushing stone and producing 57s and 78s. All crushers, screens,
conveyors, and bins were observed, including the facility's primary crusher, a 49 inch by 37 inch Metso Nordberg C125 jaw crusher
rated at 475 tons per hour when operating with its discharge opening set at 6 inches. There was not any equipment discovered that was
not present on the most current equipment list, received by the DAQ-WSRO on May 30, 2013, with the revision date of May 15, 2011
There were not any visible emissions seen from the equipment as the wet suppression system was operating correctly to control dust
emissions. A water truck was driving around the facility spraying down haul roads and storage piles. There was not any fugitive dust
blowing beyond the property boundary or any odorous emissions encountered. All exempt aboveground storage tanks were observed,
with no leaks encountered. The tanks were not being loaded at the time of inspection.
PERMIT CONDITIONS
Condition A_2 — This contains the requirements for 2D .0202 which requires the facility to prepare and send a permit application 90
days prior to the expiration date of the permit. An emissions inventory report with the certification sheet and supporting calculations
should be sent with the application_ The facility's permit is set to expire on March 31, 2022. The next emissions inventory will be due
for CY2020. The facility appears to be in compliance with 2D .0202.
Condition A.3 — This contains the requirements for 2D .0501 which requires the facility to maintain an equipment list and plant
diagram of all equipment covered by the permit. The list should include a description, a unique ID number, the manufacture date, and
the date of any required performance test. The description must contain widths of belt conveyors, dimensions and configurations of
screens, and rated capacities of crushers and other equipment not exempt from the permit. The list and diagram must contain the date
of when they were last revised. The facility may install and/or relocate any non -primary crushers provided that the primary crushing
rated capacity of the facility does not change and written notice is given to the DAQ within 15 days. The most recent revised
equipment list and diagram were received by this office on May 30, 2013, with the revision date of May 15, 2013. During the
inspection, there was no other equipment discovered that was not on the list. The facility appears to be in compliance with 2D .0501.
Condition A.4 — This contains the requirements for 2D .0510 which requires the facility to control any particulate matter emissions
generated from sand, gravel, recycled asphalt pavement (RAP), or crushed stone operations. The facility must reduce airborne
particulate matter and prevent exceedance of ambient air quality standards beyond the property boundary. Fugitive emissions will be
controlled by 2D .0540 (See Condition A.11), but all process generated emissions will be controlled by wet suppression so that
opacity standards required by 2D .0521 and 2D .0524 are not exceeded. During the inspection, the process equipment was operating
and using wet suppression to control particulate matter emissions. Water trucks were spraying down the fugitive sources, such as the
haul roads "and aggregate piles. There were not any visible particulate matter emissions observed. -The facility appears to be in
compliance with 2D .0510.
Condition A.5 — This condition informs the facility that the primary crusher according to the air quality permit is a 49 inch by 37 inch
Metso Nordberg C 125 jaw crusher rated at 475 tons per hour when operating with its discharge opening set at 6 inches. Any change to
this crusher other than a like -far -like replacement will require a permit application to be sent to the DAQ. The facility currently has no
plans to modify or replace this crusher. Therefore, the facility appears to be in compliance with this condition.
Condition A.6 — This condition restricts the production rate of the facility based on information submitted in the dispersion modeling
analysis received on October 28, 2011. The daily maximum allowable production rate is 7,600 tons and the annual maximum
allowable production rate is 2,774,000 tons. The facility must keep daily and monthly records of the total amount of crushed stone
produced in tons. The records must be kept in a log book and maintained on -site for a minimum of two years: The facility must also
send an annual report to the DAQ by January 30th with the total production amount for the previous calendar year and the highest
single day production amount during that calendar year. The last annual report was received on January 28, 2015. In 2014, the total
amount of crushed stone produced was 259,281 tons. The highest single day production rate was 6,072 tons. During the inspection, the
records for 2015 were observed. The facility began crushing for the year on March 4, 2015. So far, 180,526 tons of crushed stone have
been produced. So far, the highest single day production rate was 5,775 tons on April 27, 2015, All of the past production records can
be accessed from the computer. A logbook for the current year with all the daily records is also kept. The facility appears to be in
compliance with this condition.
Condition A.7 — This contains the requirements for 2D .0521 which requires the facility to control any visible emissions from the
emission sources that may be discharged from vents or stacks. All equipment, except bins S13-1, SB-I A, and CR BIN and the screens
GF-1 and 002, were manufactured after July 1, 1971. Therefore, the visible emissions for these sources are not to exceed 20 percent
Page 3 of 5

opacity when averaged over a six minute period. There were no visible emissions encountered with these sources during the inspection
as wet suppression was being utilized. If the emissions sources continue to operate according to manufacturer specifications and are
controlled with wet suppression, the sources will be in compliance with 2D .0521.
Condition A.8 — This contains the requirements for 213.0521 which requires the facility to control any visible emissions from the
emission sources that may be discharged from vents or stacks. The bins S13-1, SB-IA, and CR Bier and the screens GF- I and 002
were manufactured before July 1, 1971. Therefore, the visible emissions for these sources are not to exceed 40 percent opacity when
averaged over a six minute period. There were no visible emissions encountered with these sources during the inspection as wet
suppression was being utilized. If the emissions sources continue to operate according to manufacturer specifications and are
controlled with wet suppression, the sources will be in compliance with 2D .0521.
Condition A9 -- This contains the requirements for 2D .0524 which requires the facility to comply with any applicable New Source
Performance Standards promulgated by the EPA in 40 CFR 60. The nonmetallic mineral processing equipment including crushers 005
and 006, screen 004, conveyors C-3, C-4, C-7, C-8, and C-14, and bins SB-2 and SB-2A are subject to 40 CFR 60 Subpart 000
"Standards for Nonmetallic Mineral Processing Plants." Wet material processing operations are not subject to this rule, such as
conveyors C-16, C-17, C-18, and C-20. For subject equipment constructed, modified, or reconstructed after August 31, 1983, but
before April 22, 2008, crushers are subject to a 15% opacity limit and conveyors, screens, and bins are subject to a 10% opacity limit
for visible emissions. For subject equipment constructed, modified, or reconstructed on or after April 22, 2008, crushers are subject to
a 12% opacity limit and conveyors, screens, and bins are subject to a 7% opacity limit for visible emissions. Upon inspection, all
affected sources were operating and exhibited no visible emissions.
In addition, the facility must perform monthly inspections of the nozzles in the wet suppression systems and correct any problems in
24 hours. The inspections must be recorded in a log book to be kept on -site for two years. The facility does not inspect the nozzles in
the months when there is no production, but they are inspected before any production resumes. For 2015, there was no production in
January or February, as crushing for the year began on March 4, 2015. Upon inspection of the facility's log book, it was observed that
the nozzles were inspected at least 2-3 times per month when operating. The last inspection was July 16, 20 t5, and no corrective
action was needed. All of the subject equipment has been tested and found to be in compliance. The most recent source to be tested
was the C-8 conveyor. This conveyor was constructed on October 7, 2013, and started up on March 3, 2014, A Method 9 test was
performed on June 23, 2014. The results indicated that C-8 demonstrated 0% opacity. These results were approved on July 28, 2014,
by the DAQ-WSRO. The facility is allowed to perform "like for like" replacements of the affected sources as long as there is no
increase in emissions and the function stays the same. If the affected emissions sources continue to operate according to manufacturer
specifications along with the wet suppression systems, the sources will be in compliance with 2D .0524 and Subpart 000.
Condition A.10--This'contains the requirements for 2D .0535 which requires the facility to notify the-DAQ of any source causing an
excess of emissions lasting more than four hours. Mr. Benton said that there had not been any excess emissions lasting more than four
hours from the facility's permitted and exempt sources. The facility appears to be in compliance with 2D .0535.
Condition A.11 —This contains the requirements for 2D .0540 which requires the facility to implement and utilize the Fugitive Dust
Control Plan that has been approved by the DAQ to minimize dust emissions from fugitive -sources, including haul roads and storage
piles. The plan includes the identification of fugitive dust sources, descriptions of dust suppression strategies, the frequency of use of
such strategies, and descriptions of how the plan will be implemented and facility personnel trained. Any changes to the plan must be
submitted to the DAQ for approval, The facility must retain a copy of the Fugitive Dust Control Plan on -site. During the inspection,
the wet suppression system was being utilized, and water trucks were observed spraying down the haul roads and storage piles. The
inspector was also shown a copy of the Fugitive Dust Control Plan dated November 3, 2011. The facility appears to be in compliance
with 2D .0540.
Condition A,12 — This contains the requirements for 2D .l 806 which requires the facility to control and prohibit odorous emissions.
Upon inspection, no objectionable odors were present. Review of the facility file showed that no odor complaints have been received
by this office. The facility appears to be in compliance with 2D .1806.
Condition A.13 — This contains the requirements for North Carolina General Statute (NCGS) t43-215.108(c) which allows the
Director to modify and reissue the permit with additional emission controls and/or additional operational restrictions upon becoming
aware of any credible air emissions data not previously considered by the DAQ. This is in order for the facility to demonstrate
compliance with any applicable regulation. Currently, there is no cause for the DAQ to reissue the permit. The facility appears to be in
compliance with NCGS 143-215.108(c).
