Mr. Pickle and Mr. Bou-Ghazale,
Per the request in the above reference NOV's, I am writing to inform the Division of Water Quality
of our proposed correction action on the exceedance of the permit limit on PH values.
Each NOV was issued for the same reason, although each PH value exceeded the permit limit by
different values. Please see the attached copies of each NOV for reference. All other line items
found on the Routine Compliance Inspection form were found to be in compliance.. Copies of each
plants inspection form are found on the attached files immediately following the each NOV.
respectively.
Samar, per our earlier discussions, I spoke with Mr. Pickle immediately following yesterdays joint
CRMCAINCDNR DWQ meeting in Raleigh. After the discussion, Mr. Pickle agreed to issue the
authorization to construct on each site upon my written request for the following:
NOV-2006-0370 Statesville — Installation of Fortrans, Inc. PH adjustment system to correct the PH
level exceeding the permit limits.
NOV-2006-0366 Denver — installation of Fortrans, Inc. PH adjustment system to correct the PH
level exceeding the permit limits.
NOV-2006-0369 Taylorsville — Installation of Fortrans, inc. PH adjustment system to correct the
PH level exceeding the permit limits.
Upon your offices reply to this letter, Ready Mixed Concrete will implement the installation of the
PH adjustment systems as soon as Fortaris can deliver the systems and assist in installation
Thank you for your help in this matter.

After your call today informing me that the e-mail response dated September 29. 2006 was not
submitted in an approved fashion by the Mooresville Regional office, 1 am re -submitting the
original response by next day mail to the office of the NC DNR Mooresville Office for the
Department of Water Quality to your attention, with copy to Mr. Ken Pickle. The e-mail method of
submittal was discussed and approved by Mr. Pickle on September 28`s, 2006. Due to the timing of
the deadline, September 30`f', I felt it most efficient to respond in the most expedient way possible
and Mr. Pickle agreed. If there was any misunderstanding on your instruction for Andy Stankwywh
and myself to speak to Mr. Pickle about the resolution of the NOV's, l apologize. In fact, I had the
opportunity to speak to him in person after a joint meeting between the Carolina's Ready Mixed
Concrete Association and the state office of the Department of Water Quality's permitting unit_ It
was a very cordial and informative meeting, which I felt allowed a reasonable resolution of the PH
violations through the Fortran's System. We were not aware as you stated in our call today, that the
Raleigh Office has nothing to do with the Mooresville Regional office.
It was not our intentions to circumvent the chain of command over the Mooresville Regkxud office
in any way. We were simply acting upon the direction you had given to its in conversation on the
matter.
Please accept this re -submittal within the timeline offered on the NOW&
