Dear Mr. McKeown:
Secrnrary
TRACY DAVIS
Director
On April 14, 2016, a site inspection was conducted for the Hanson Brick — Anson County Mine facility located
near the intersection of South Horton Road and Camden Church Road in Anson County, North Carolina. A
copy of the Compliance Inspection Report is enclosed for your review. Mr. David McKeown, Regional
Environmental Manager and John Williford, Production Supervisor, were also present during the inspection
and their time and assistance is greatly appreciated. The site visit and file review revealed that the subject
facility is covered by NPDES General Permit NCG020000 under Certificate of Coverage NCG020120. Permit
coverage authorizes the discharge of stormwater and/or process wastewater from the facility to receiving
waters designated Little Brown Creek, a Class C water located in the Yadkin -Pee Dee River Basin.
As a result of the inspection, the facility was found to not be in compliance with the conditions of the
NCG020000 permit. Please refer to the enclosed Compliance Inspection Report for additional comments and
observations made during the inspection.
Please be advised that violations of the NPDES General Permit are subject to a civil penalty
assessment of up to $25,000 per day for each violation. If you or your staff has any questions,
comments, or needs assistance with understanding any aspect of your permit, please contact me at (910)

Inspection Date: 0411412016 Inspection Type : Compliance Evaluation Reason for Visit: Routine
Inspection Summary:
On April 14, 2016, Melissa Joyner and Tim LaBounty met with John Williford,Production Supervisor and Dave McKeown,
Region Environmental Manager at the Anson County Mine facility. This mine is relatively inactively used a few times per
year with one active stockpile on the site. The Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) was reviewed. The most recent
SPPP was developed in 2013. The SPPP needs to be annually updated, including a list of significant spills over the last 3
years, documented employee training and certification that the outfalls have been evaluated for the presence of
non-stormwater discharges. Please refer to General Permit NCG020000 for the additional required information. The site map
also needs to be modified to include the information stipulated in the General Permit. All Best Management Practices
(BMP's)have not been regulary inspected and will need to be inspected once per week. This information will need to be
documented as well as any related repairs of the BMP's. Qualitative and Analytical Monitoring has not been conducted at
the site since 2009 and will need to be initiated semi-annually for stormwater and quarterly for wastewater. If there is no
discharge from the outfalls, this needs to be documented on the two Discharge Monitoring Forms which cover any
stormwater discharges as well as any mineldewatering wastewater discharges. There are two outfalls which were observed
in the field with no issues noted.

Dear Mr. Garvey:

`.Pcr 34
On March 2, 2010, I, Michael Lawyer from the Fayetteville Regional Office of the Division of Water Quality,
conducted a site inspection at the Hanson Brick - Anson County Mine facility located near the intersection of South
Horton Road and Camden Church Road, Wadesboro, Anson County, North Carolina. A copy of the Compliance
Inspection Report is enclosed for your review. Mr. Jason Smith, Plant Superintendent, was also present during the
inspection and his time and assistance is greatly appreciated. Stormwater, mine dewatering, and other process
wastewater from this facility would drain to Little Brown Creek, a Class C water located in the Yadkin -Pee Dee River
Basin. The site visit and file review revealed that the subject facility is covered by NPDES General Permit
NCG020000/Certificate of Coverage-NCG020120.
Please refer to the enclosed Compliance Inspection Report for additional comments and observations made
during the inspection.
Please be advised that violations of the NPDES General Permit are subject to a civil penalty assessment
of up to $25,000 per day for each violation. If you or your staff has any questions, comments, or needs assistance with
understanding any aspect of your permit, please do not hesitate to contact me at [phone],

Permit: NCG020120 Owner • Eacitity: Hanson Brick East LLC
Inspection Date: 0310212010 Inspection Type: Compliance Evaluation Reason for Visit: Rouline
Inspection Summary:
Due to the effective date of the current NCG020000 general permit being January 1, 2010, this inspection was conducted
to evaluate compliance with the conditions of the previous permit that was effective from January 19, 2005 through
December 31, 2009. Requirements of the previous permit included the development of a Stormwater BMP Plan,
Analytical and Qualitative Monitoring for Stormwater only discharges, and Analytical Monitoring for mine dewatering and
process wastewater discharges. Met with Mr. Jack Garvey, Area Environmental Manager, and Mr. Jason Smith, Plant
Superintendent. Mining activities at the Anson County Mine are somewhat sporadic in that clay material is removed from
existing stockpiles on an as -needed basis to be hauled to the company's brick manufacturing facility. The site is graded
so that all stormwater is captured in the remaining pits to allow for detention of any solids. Site has two outlet areas where
brick is supplied to serve as BMPsloverflow weirs. Any discharge would exit the pits over the brick weirs and travel
through a vegetated area prior to entering a grassed ditch that leads to the receiving stream. Based on review of DMRs,
facility has had no stormwater discharges from 2004 to 2009 and a single mine dewatering event in the third quarter of
2003. Due to the sporadic nature of mining activities, BMP inspections have not been conducted on a weekly basis.
Facility's Stormwater BMP Plan, which has been revised to a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan to reflect conditions of
the recently renewed general permit was reviewed and contained all permit -required components. Recommendations
were made at the time of inspection to begin documentation of the required weekly BMP inspections and submittal of both
DMR forms to cover any stormwater only discharges as well as any mine dewateringlprocess wastewater discharges.

PROJECT DISCUSSION
The Arson County ►irir7C is iocatect on app oximawily o 1.21 acres of land. The majority of the
property is immediately south of the intersection of Camden Church Road (SR-1121)
and Horton Road (SR-1211)-in Anson County, -North Carolina.
Approximately 1.7 acres of land includes the right-of-way for Camden- Church Road and
land north of the right-of-way. The 49.5 acres of land south of the DOT right-of-way is mined for clay.
Due to buffer limits, the total area disturbed is 42.4 acres.
Erosion control is provided by diversion berms directing runoff to Erosion Control.
Structures 1 and 3. Erosion Control Structure 2 has been removed by excavation. The
entire mine area has been surrounded by perimeter berms to include an 8ft high berm
paralleling the NCDOT right-of-way. This berm provides screening from the public
roadway.
Periodically, it will be necessary to pump water that accumulates in the Erosion Control
Structures to continue excavation at depths below the outlet of the structures (the erosion
control basins also serve as the mine areas). The water from the selected basin is
pumped to the adjacent structure. The pump capacity is no more than 500gpm (0.1114
cubic feet per second).
MAINTENANCE CONSIDERATIONS
1. All erosion and sediment control practices shall be checked
for stability and_ operation following every runoffproducing
rainfall, but in no case less than once weekly. Any needed
repairs will be made immediately to maintain all practices as
designed.
2. The sediment traps will be cleaned out when 1 ft. of sediment
accumulates in the basins.
3. All seeded areas shall be fertilized, reseeded as necessary
and mulched according to specification in the vegetative plan.
