With regards to the recent inspection of our facility, 1 am responding per your request to
the noted deficiencies:
- -1. Recision of NCG020212 request — Madison Pomona Mine
Even though we no longer mine materials from this area, we currently use this mine as an
area for disposal of beneficial fill as approved by the Division of Waste Management.
Should we still seek recision based on this fact?
2. We will continue qualitative and quantitative monitoring of stormwater from our
mining operations. Checks will be made in the proper intervals according to
permit requirements and documented appropriately. This will be in affect by end
of year 2012.
3. We will continue qualitative and quantitative monitoring of stormwater from our
manufacturing facilities as required in the permit. This will continue to include
required analytical checks. These checks will be made in the proper intervals and
documented appropriately. This will be in affect by end of year 2012.
4. Existing stormwater plan will be evaluated and updated. This will include among
other things, (1.) updating pollution team member roster (2) training on spill
prevention and response, (3.) review of best management practices. These will be
in affect by end of year 2012.

Dear Mr. McMillan:
Mike Thomas of the Winston-Salem Regional Office of the North Carolina Division of Water Quality
(DWQ) conducted a compliance evaluation inspection at the subject facilities on 20 September 2012. Your
assistance and cooperation during the inspection was greatly appreciated. An inspection checklist is attached
for your records and the inspection findings are summarized below.
During the inspection you informed Mr. Thomas that there had been a change in personnel since the last
inspection and that you had taken over the responsibility from Mr. Miner. As a result some of the corrective
actions mentioned in the last inspection letter have not been addressed.
NCG020212 & NCG020218, Madison Pomona Mine
As discussed in the last inspection report both of these permits appear to be for the Madison Pomona
Mine. You indicated that mining activity no longer occurs at this mine and that the site is now used only for
equipment storage. Therefore, Pine Hall Brick Co. should request rescission of both permits. To do so, please
submit a letter to the Division's Stormwater Permitting Unit at the following address:

Documentation and Monitoring Review
The Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SP3) is complete and partially implemented. Some portions
of the SPP3 have not been fully implemented such as keeping up with employee training sessions and yearly
revisions to the plan.
Qualitative monitoring and BMP inspection is being preformed routinely at all of the mine sites and at
the production plant. However, more detailed records need to be kept of these inspections. Analytical
monitoring is being conducted occasionally and at only certain outfalls. Please reference the attached copies of
the NCG02 and NCG07 permits to be aware of what analytical samples need to be collected at each facility and
at what interval.
We greatly appreciate your efforts to develop and implement an effective stormwater pollution
prevention plan. Please reply in writing to this letter within 30 days of receiving it. Your reply should detail
corrective actions and implementation schedules for each deficiency detailed above.

Dear Permtttee:
Dee Freeman
Secretary
Subject: Rescission of NPDES Stormwater Permit
Certificate of Coverage Number NCG020212
Pine Hall Brick Co - Pine Hall Brick Co -Madison PO
Rockingham County
On 2/5/2010, the Division of Water Quality received your request to rescind your coverage under
Certificate of Coverage Number NCG020212. In accordance with your request, Certificate of Coverage
Number NCG020212 is rescinded effective immediately.
Operating a treatment facility, discharging wastewater or discharging specific types of stonnwater to
waters of the State without valid coverage under an NPDES permit will subject the responsible party to a
civil penalty of up to $25,000 per day. It is the intention of DWQ that enforcement proceedings will
occur for persons that have voluntarily relinquished permit coverage when, in fact, continuing permit
coverage was necessary. If, in retrospect, you feel the site still requires permit coverage, you should
notify this office immediately. Furthermore, if in the future you wish to again discharge to the State's
surface waters, you must first apply for and receive a new NPDES permit. -
If the faciiiiy is iii iile p,ucess of being sold, you will be perfornline a public service if you would inform
the new or prospective owners of their potential need for NPDES permit coverage.
If you have questions about this matter, please contact Brian Lowther at [phone], or the Water
Quality staff in our Winston-Salem Regional Office at NPDES SW.
Sincerely,
for Coleen H. Sullins, Director

Both the NCG020212 and NCG020218 permits appear to be for the Madison Pomona Mine.
However, according to Mr. Boone, you stated that active mining no longer occurs at this mine and
that the site is now used only to store equipment. Therefore, Pine Hall Brick Co. should request
rescission of both permits. To do so, please submit a letter to the Division's Stormwater
Permitting Unit (SPU) at the following address:
Stormwater and General Permits Unit
Division of Water Quality
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617
In the letter be sure to state the reason for the rescission request. Please be aware that if the
mine ever reopens for active mining, Pine Hall Brick Co. will have to obtain another NCG02 permit
before any stormwater discharge related to mining activities can begin. In the interim, because
this mine is located on plant #31#4 property, Pine Hall Brick Co. should treat it as part of plant
#31#4, regulated by NCG070119.

the Dan River is currently classified as WS-IV, CA waters in the Roanoke River Basin. SDOs 001
through 003 discharge industrial stormwater only, whereas SDO 004 discharges both industrial
stormwater and stormwater related to vehicle maintenance activities. The facility produces brick
using materials taken from the mines. Mr. Boone reports that the facility appeared exceptionally
clean and noted no issues at the site. For the purposes of this permit, the customer service area
and the former Madison Pomona mine, which are both on the east side of Lindsey Bridge Road,
opposite of plant #3/#4, are considered part of the plant #3/#4 property, and as such are also
regulated under this permit.
Documentation Review
The Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SP3) for this plant needs some improvement. There is
currently no general location map and the site map does not meet all permit conditions. Individual
spill records are kept, so this meets all intent of the permit with regards to spill records (i.e. spill
list). The certification of the outfalls, as required by Part 11, Section A, para. le, has not been
accomplished. Finally, training has not been conducted and recorded annually, although initial
stormwater training has been provided to all employees that required it due to their duties.
Please review the permit in detail to ensure Pine Hall Brick Co. is meeting all requirements.
QM is currently being conducted at all four SDOs semi-annually and AM is being conducted at
SDO 004 semi-annually because it receives runoff from the vehicle maintenance area. All records
are current and complete. Please take special note of the new tiered requirements in the
permit, which tell the permittee what they have to do if any of the parameter benchmarks
are exceeded at any time during the permit cycle.
Mr. Boone has reported that the facility location latitude/longitude coordinates loaded in the DWQ
database are not accurate for the site (36.385000,-79.953333); these coordinates actually point
to the bridge that crosses the Dan River on the eastern side of Madison, just east of Water Street.
Please provide Mr. Boone with updated accurate coordinates for the site and he will see to it that
our database is updated.
10. Pine Hall Production Plant #5, No Permit
This facility is located on the south side of Hwy 311, at the south end of Teague Road, adjacent to
the Dr. Martin Mine on the northeast side and the Pine Hall Brick Co. Research and Development
facility on the northwest side. There is currently no permit for this site because Pine Hall Brick Co.
thought it was regulated under the Plant #31#4 permit. However, because the Plant #5 and Plant
#344 properties are not adjoining, Plant #5 should have its own permit. The Research &
Development facility can be regulated under the Plant #5 permit, because its property does adjoin

Pine Hall Brick Co.

the Plant #5 property. As such, please submit a NCG070000 Notice of Intent (NOI) to DWQISPU
as soon as possible for the plant #5/Research & Development facility.
11. The Division greatly appreciates Pine Hall Brick Co's efforts to maintain a well developed
stormwater program. Please continue with your efforts. However, you are strongly urged to
thoroughly review both the NCG02 and NCG07 permits in detail as soon as possible to help
ensure you meet all permit requirements. Both permits were recently rewritten and underwent
significant changes. Some of the more notable changes involve the frequency and rules for both
QM and AM and the tiered requirements that permittees must conduct when permit benchmarks
are exceeded. Mr. Boone can answer any questions you may have.
12.You are reminded that the Division may assess civil penalties of no more than $25,000 per day,
per violation of both the NCG02 and NCG07 stormwater permits. Please reply in writing to this
letter within 30 days of receiving it. Your reply should detail corrective actions and
implementation schedules for each deficiency detailed above. Thank you for your cooperation in
this matter. Should you have any questions regarding this letter or the inspections, please feel
free to contact Mr. Boone or me at [phone].
Sincerely,
