Post Office Box 5395 Asheville, North Carolina 28813 Dear Mr. Combest: Alan W. Klimek, Y.E. Director Division of Water Quality Z A n (M] g N o � Subject: Notice of Violation NOV-2006-PC-0183 Southern Concrete Materials, Inc. Burnsville Plant Effluent Limit Violation Permit NCG140149 Yancey County On May 11, 2006 Mr. Roy Davis with this office determined the discharge from Southern Concrete Materials' Burnsville Plant to have a pHof 11.47. The discharge was a combination of truck wash water and storm water runoff. The sample analyzed was taken from an overflowing pool beside the drop manhole in the middle of the yard. This same manhole is located directly over Tantrough Branch. A discharge pH of 11.47 is a violation of General Permit Number NCG140000 which limits discharge pH to a range of 6.0 to 9.0. Part of the area where trucks are washed at the Burnsville Plant does not drain to the settling basins. The entire truck wash area should drain to the basins. Capture, treatment and reuse of all wastewater would allow the facility to operate without discharging process wastewater to the State's surface waters. I find it reasonable that within 90 days from date of receipt of this letter, Southern Concrete Materials will complete construction of facilities to convey all vehicle washwater to the existing settling basins. This conveyance modification may be carried out without applying for an Authorization to Construct Permit.

Any such plans and specifications must be prepared by a person licensed to practice engineering in the State of North Carolina. If you contemplate constructing treatment facilities, I urge the consulting engineer who will help you with the project to first talk to Ken Pickle at 919-733-5083, Extension 584. Ken is in Raleigh and will be reviewing any construction plans and design calculations submitted by members of the ready -mix industry. You will likely -eventually have to undertake a comprehensive stormwater management project at this location. ] would suggest you go ahead and have topographic maps prepared for all SCM sites which will have"to=,improve upon stormwater management practices. Such maps will be a necessary first step. The North. Carolina Genera Statutes provide for Civil Penalties in ,the amount of $25,000 for violation of conditions or limitations contained in permits issued by the North Carolina Department of Environment` and Natural Resources. Each days violation is considered a separate offense. I urge you to call Mr. Davis at 828-296-4659 to keep him informed regarding your progress. Failure to bring this washwater discharge into compliance within 90 days from date of receipt of this Notice will force us to consider Civil Penalties. Sincerely, Roger C.

Post Office Box 5395 Asheville, North Carolina 28813 SUBJECT Dear Mr. Lamm: Alan W. Klimek, P.E. Director Division of Water Quality Asheville Regional Office Southern Concrete Materials, Inc. Proposed New Construction Permit No: NCG140149 Yancey County Knowing that you have a project in mind I thought I should let you Know Surface Water Protection Section expectations relating to plans and specifications for new wastewater treatment systems to be constructed by anyone in the Ready Mix Industry. Prior to constructing the proposed treatment/reuse basin at the Burnsville Plant SCM will need to submit three copies of plans and specification along with design calculations and a request for an Authorization to Construct. SCM has plans to reshape the yard at -the Burnsville Plant in order to carry vehicle wash water over spray and storm water to a point in the back of the property where it can go through a settling basin in preparation for reuse. When designing the project you might wish to consider that systems designed to overflow only in rain storm which exceed a 10 year-24 hour storm event are not required to perform self monitoring. I would suggest that you call Ms. Bethany Georgoulias at your earliest convenience to insure that you have an understanding as to exactly what we need in the way of plans and specifications. She may be reached at 919-733-5083, extension 529.
