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.

NCG020512, Klutz Mine Site Review This mine is located north of NC Hwy 311, approximately 4 miles west of the Rockingham/Stokes county line, in Walnut Cove, Stokes County, NC. Triassic shale clay is mined here. No wastewater of any kind is produced at the mine and only stormwater runoff is discharged. The mine currently has only one active SDO, which discharges to the Dan River, this section of which is currently classified as Class WS-V waters in the Roanoke River Basin. Mr. Boone noted no issues at the mine. No secondary containment is currently required. Documentation Review SDO QM and BMP inspection is normally performed twice per month. Both QM and BMP inspection records are complete and current, Analytical monitoring (AM) has not yet been accomplished. The owner of this mine is currently listed as "Klutz Mine" in the DWQ database.

Pine Hall Production Plants #3 & #4 NCG070119 Site Review The facility is located at 634 Lindsey Bridge Road, in Madison, Rockingham County, NC. The facility currently has four SDOs, all of which discharge directly to the Dan River. This section of 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 #31#4, are considered part of the plant #31#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 II, 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 Hail 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 #31#4 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 J, Pine Hall Brick Co. Attn: Mr. Lawrence W.

As such, please submit a NCG070000 Notice of Intent (NOI) to DWQ/SPU 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 (335) 771-5000.

It appears as though Pine Hall had this permit confused with the appropriate faciiity. This permit is for the Chilton Van Noppen mine and the mine is still active. DWQ has already reactivated the permit but Pine Hall must submit a permit renewal form.
