Inspection Date: 02/16/2010 Inspection Type: Compliance Evaluation Reason for Visit: Routine
.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. Inspection conducted with Mr. Ron Barnhill, General Manager, Mr. Mitchell Ratliff,
Supervisor, and Mr. T. F. Boone, Superintendent. Oldcastle Stone Products owns and operates three mining facilities,
one in Richmond County (Woodmont Mine) and two in Anson County (Federal/Richardson Mine & Lilesville Mine) that are
in close proximity to each other. A Stormwater BMP Plan was developed that encompasses these three mining facilities
and was reviewed at the Oldcastle office located on Hwy 74 East in front of the Lilesville Mine. The BMP Plan appeared to
contain all required components. Analytical Monitoring records for each of the three mines were also reviewed. Based on
laboratory reports, testing results for all parameters showed no exceedances of Cut-off Concentrations that were
applicable under the previous permit. Qualitative Monitoring records were not available at the time of inspection, but
copies were received via fax on February 17, 2010 as requested.
Specific to the Woodmont Mine, activities consisted solely of material excavation and transport to the Lilesville Mine for
processing. No mine dewatering or process wastewater discharges have occurred so monitoring has been performed for
stormwater discharges only. Based on the records review, monitoring has been conducted throughout the previous years
of permit coverage although according to Mr. Barnhill, the Woodmont Mine has been reclaimed and there has been no
mining activity for approximately five years. Upon the establishment of permanent vegetation in some remaining areas of
the mine, coverage under the mining permit issued by the Division of Land Resources (DLR) should be released. Mr.
Barnhill was informed that once the Woodmont Mine is released by DLR he should submit documentation to the
Stormwater Permitting Unit in Raleigh regarding closure of the mine and request rescission of coverage under the
NCG020000 general stormwater permit.
