Subject: NOTICE OF VIOLATION and
RECOMMENDATION FOR. ENFORCEMENT
Harrison-APAC '
Cherokee Quarry
NPDES Stormwater General Permit — NCG020503
NOV-2009-PC-0047
Cherokee County
Dear Sirs:
On January 13, 2009, Linda Wigbs from the Asheville Regional Office of the
Division of Water Quality, conducted a site inspection for the facility known as Cherokee
Quarry (Harrison Construction Co.- Div. APAC Atlantic Inc.) located along Marrestop
Road, Cherokee County, North Carolina. Present during this inspection was Don Mason.
The site drains to two Unnamed TribtltarlCS to Persimmon Creek, Class C waters and one
Unnamed Tributary to North Fork Rapier Mill Creek, Class C waters, located in the
Hiwassee River Basin. The site visit and file review revealed that the subject project is
covered by NPDES Stormwater General Permit—NCG020503.
The following violations were noted during the Division of Water Quality inspection:
1) Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP)
A Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) has been developed, recorded, and
properlyimplemented.
ly es No
The SPPP has been developed and was onsite, but is not properly implemented. The
SPPP needs to be adhered to. It also needs to be updated and include the third basin with
stormwater outfall discharging to an Unnamed "Tributary to North Fork Rapier Mill
Creek.

2) Qualitative Monitoring
Qualitative monitoring has been conducted and recorded in accordance with permit
requirements.
es No
The last qualitative`monitoring performed was in September 2007. A facility personnel
states no discharge in 2008. Local precipitation stations indicate May 2008 and
December 2008 had significant rainfall events where monitoring could have been
performed. Personnel previously performing monitoring had been laid off in September
2008.
3) Analytical Monitoring
Analytical monitoring has been conducted and recorded in accordance with permit
requirements.
GS o
Land Disturbance and Process Area analytical monitoring was performed in 2005. It is
unclear why Land Disturbance and Process Area monitoring was not performed in 2006.
In 2007 Land Disturbance and Process Area monitoring was perfonned with an
exceedence for turbidity. The arithmetic mean of the 2005 and 2007 turbidity result
exceeds the cut-off concentration. Monitoring should have been performed in 2008.
Regardless, additional monitoring will be required in 2009.
4) Stormwater Best Management Practices
Best Management Practices as required by Permit and directed in the Plan are properly
implemented.
Yes No
Weekly Best Management Practices (BMP) inspections have ceased. When they were
occurring, six-month (or longer) time spans were documented until repairs or
maintenance were implemented. Basins # i and 92 were full at time of the inspection and
appeared to be short-circuiting; the last cleaning of these basins was documetted on 10-
01-07. New basin #3 needed first chamber cleaned and gully at roadside to chamber four
fixed. General housekeeping around process and scale area was lacking. Stormwater
conveyance and inlet structures in the processing area needed maintenance. Stormwater
conveyances to all three basins need repair or maintenance. Conveyance to basin #2 was
blocked by waste material that had been pushed over the hill into conveyance channel.
Spills repeatedly were documented at refueling tank.
5) Twenty-four Hour Re ortin
Division of Water Quality (DWQ) has been notified of noncompliance, which could have
endangered environment.
Yes No
Sediment loss which impacted Waters of the State were documented downstream of
Basin ##2. Facility did not notify DWQ of this noncompliance.
6) Stream Standard Violation 15A NCAC 02B .0211 (3)f
Has visible sedimentation'oecurred offsite.
es No
In -stream sediment was present in the stream channel below Basin 42. Pockets of
sediment, 2-6 inches deep, as well as a slight coating of sediment throughout the reach,
were visible for approximately 50 feet.

RE: NOTICE OF VIOLATION
Harrison Construction Company
Division of APAC-Atlantic Inc.
Cherokee County Quarry
NPDES Stormwater General Permit -- NCG020503
Cherokee County, North Carolina
Dear Mrs. Wiggs:
Please consider this letter response to your Notice of Violation letter dated Jan. 23 2009.
1) Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP)
a) Please see the attached Best -Management Practices Pan (BMP) amendments including the
NO. 003 Quad Stormwater Skimmer Basin outfall point discharging to an Unnamed Tributary to
North Fork Rapier Mill Creek.
b) The Best Management Practices Plan (BMP) has been reviewed and a Chain of
Responsibility has been implemented. A monthly inspection will be preformed to insure the
Best Management Practices Plan (BMP) and the Spill Prevention Control and
Countermeasure Plan (SPCA are being adhered to.
2) Qualitative Monitoring
a) The latter part of 2006 the entire years 2007 and 2008 where very dry, with drought conditions
in Western North Carolina, especially Cherokee Counties Hot House region where the Cherokee
County Quarry is located. We operate almost entirely on collected stormwater for our stone
washing, crusher cooling and dust control systems. We collect, pump, store and use as much
Stormwater as feasible. Numerous times we ceased operations at the Cherokee County Quarry,
not enough water to operate let alone discharge... (Lack of collectable, storable stormwater)
As stated in page 14, section 6.42 Qualitative Monitoring of the Best Management
Practices Plan (BMP)'The first Simi -Annual Qualitative monitoring must be made in
conjunction with the first Analytical Annual Monitoring event regardless of when the first event is
conducted. Subsequent Semi -Annual Qualitative Monitoring must be conducted once in the
spring (April -June) and once in the fall (September- November)".
3) Analytical Monitoring
a) Monitoring would have been performed in 2008 if a storm event that resulted in a discharge
would have occurred. Any additional Analytical Monitoring required for 2009 will be conducted.

Linda Wiggs
Page 2
4) Stormwater Best Management Practices (BMP)
a) As stated in 1) b. Chain of Responsibility has been implemented, Best Management
Practices Plan 1BMP) Refresher Training has been performed with all Superintendents,
Site Supervisors, and foremen. Further training for the hourly employee will be scheduled when
they return from layoff.
b) Repairs and maintenance will be addressed and completed in a timely manner.
c) The short circuiting of riser basin No 2 was caused by an irresponsible yard loader operator
filling a stormwater ditch with material causing stormwater to short circuit the ditch and carries
an unusually large amount of material to the No 2 basin, filling it to capacity. The loader
operator's employment with Harrison Construction was terminated. The current yard
loader operator has been trained in the importance of stormwater retention, erosion control
measures, problem reporting and maintenance of measures at the site.
d) All stormwater measures have been serviced and are in proper operating condition.
5) Twenty-four Hour Reporting
a) Notification of noncompliance to DWQ was not intentional, Rainfall for the Jan. 5'h and 6th
Totaling 2.9 inches. The Crushing crew was laid of in Nov. 2008 and the (terminated) yard
loader operator failed to notify management of any stormwater issues. I was first aware of the
sedimentation conditions during the inspection with Linda Wiggs on Jan.13, 2008.
6) Stream Standard Violation 15A NCAC 02B .0211 13)f
a) The ditch/draw below basin No 2 where sediment was observed is not a flowing stream. The
ditch/draw was formed by years of discharge flow from the No 2 basin. The stream is
approximately 25 feet north and parallel with the discharge ditch/draw. The ditch/draw
combines approximately 100 yards below the No 2 basin. Slight sedimentation was observed
at the point the No 2 basin discharge enters the stream. The sedimentation was
removed by hand from the small pockets in the stream (approximately 50 feet of stream
length).
Required Response:
A) Please see above addressed items
B) Ail Maintenance and corrections at the site have been completed as well as some additional
measures to minimize future stormwater issues. Example: emergency stone filter
across the No 2 basin discharge ditch as recommended by Mr. Charles Koontz during the Jan.
28, 2009 Land Quality Inspection. (See attached photos and DENR LQS inspection report)
C) Care was taken to remove small pockets of sediment in approximately 50 feet of the stream.
IE: serving spoons, trowels, shovels, buckets etc.
D) Harrison Construction will provide a copy of all monthly and weekly inspections, 2009
qualitative and analytical monitoring reports as requested to'DWQ Ashville Regional Office
until further notice.

3.1.2 Secondary Containment Drainage Procedures
After rainfall, containment areas shall be inspected for rainwater. If and when rainwater is standing in the
containment areas, the procedure for secondary containment drainage is as follows:
1. The Site Superintendent shall visually observe standing water for evidence of oil,
sheens, color or foam and determine if water may be drained.
If no evidence of contamination is observed, the drainage valve may be unlocked
and the water may be drained.
If evidence of contamination is observed, inspect the tanks, containers and/or
equipment for leaks. Estimate the quantity of water to be discharged. Obtain a
water sample if necessary. Arrange for proper disposal of the water.
4. Close and lock drainage valve after drainage is complete.
Document draining and subsequent inspection, and maintain documentation on
page vii of the facility's Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure (SPCC) Plan.
3.2 BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES
The facility opera#or shall review the BMPs for applicability and feasibility. BMPs that are applicable
and feasible for the facility shall be selected and scheduled for implementation. BMPs not selected shall
be documented as to why they were either not applicable or not feasible. Refer to Section 2.4 for

4.0 SPILL PREVENTION AND RESPONSE
4.1 GENERAL
Spills or releases, regardless of quantity or location, excluding minor spills within containment areas, will be
immediately reported to the Site Superintendent. For larger releases with the potential to impact drainage
ways, surface waters or storm water, the EHS_Manager is responsible for documentation procedures and
reporting to regulatory agencies. The response to spills and the degree of documentation and reporting is
dependent on the magnitude of the spill and the potential impact on the environment. Fully contained spills
that do not threaten the environment may not require official reporting or emergency response by the Fire
Department. All discharges shall be cleaned up immediately. The resources utilized to safely and effectively
clean up such spills is at the discretion of the Site Superintendent and the EHS Manager. .

4.2 SPILL CONTAINMENT EQUIPMENT
The facility shall maintain adequate supplies for providing clean up of minor spills and initial containment of
releases. Spill response materials shall be stored at the rock processing area. The storage area shall be
identified with a sign.
4.3 INITIAL ACTION AND SPILLIRELEASE RESPONSE
Immediately notify the Site Superintendent, who will determine if the spill or
release can be handled safely by facility personnel.
2. Only respond to spills or releases that are small enough to handle safely, and only
respond to substances with which you work or have familiarity. (While the
NCDENR does not have a definition of a small spill, generally, a small spill is one
less than 25 gallons that is not expected to enter State waters.)
3. Stop the source of the spill or release, if possible. The primary concerns are to
minimize the impacted area and to prevent oil from entering the environment. If the
spill or release is within a spill containment structure, the structure drain outlet shall
be checked to assure that it is closed.
4. If stationary, equipment is leaking, use drip pans or buckets to catch the leak.
Monitor the pan or bucket for leaks and overfilling.
5. Initiate necessary spill containment using available spill control equipment.
6. The EHS Manager will initiate notification procedures to regulatory agencies and
call an Emergency Response Contractor (ERC), if warranted.
7. If the spill cannot be handled safely or contained, if storm sewers are
threatened, if there are injuries or the potential for injuries or if there is fire or
the potential for fires, call the fire department (Dial 911) immediately.
Evacuate the site immediately.

have come into contact with garbage or waste. All seeping, solid or liquid .wastes,
refuse and garbage shall be removed on a regular and periodic basis so as to avoid
creating a nuisance or menace.
6.4 MONITORING AND REPORTING REQUIREMENTS
The facility_ is required to conduct>A al Analytical Monitoring with specific laboratory analyses and
S_emi-Annual Qualitative Monitoring with a visual examination throughout the five-year period of the permit
for discharges composed entirely of stormwater. The facility does not have a vehicle/equipment
maintenance area, and is, therefore, not subject to additional analytical monitoring requirements for vehicle
maintenance areas. The facility does have a closed loop process recycle wastewater system designed to
operate with a minimum of two feet of freeboard during normal operation, and is, therefore, not subject to
additional effluent limitations and monitoring requirements for overflow from a closed loop process recycle
wastewater system.
6.4.1 Analytical Monitoring
Analytical Monitoring is conducted annually except as noted below for results less than "monitoring cut-off
concentrations". For Analytical Monitoring, sampling shall be conducted by obtaining a grab sample at the
monitored outfall (Figure 2) during a "representative" storm event. A "representative" storm event is a
storm event that is greater than 0.1 inches in magnitude and that occurs at least 72 hours from the previously
measurable (greater than 0.1 inch rainfall) storm event. The sample shall be collected during the first 30
minutes of when run-off begins discharging.
Specific information must be recorded for the monitored outfall (refer to the forms in Appendix IV) and
specific laboratory analyses must be conducted. A site -specific Discharge Monitoring Report (DMR),
included in Appendix IV, must be submitted to the NCDENR within 30 days of receipt of the laboratory
results. The results for the last Analytical Monitoring event shall be submitted with the permit renewal
application.
For each analytical parameter at the monitored outfall, the arithmetic mean of all analytical results collected
during the term of the permit may be calculated. If the arithmetic mean is less than the "monitoring cut-off
concentrations', analysis for that parameter at the outfall does not need to be conducted in future monitoring
events. However, regardless of cut-off concentration conditions. analvses must be performed for all
parameters during the first and last years of the permit coverage. The "monitoring cut-off concentrations"
are as follows:

6.4.2 Qualitative Monitoring
Semi -Annual Qualitative Monitoring must be conducted at the outfall. It is not necessary to have a
"representative" storm event for the Semi -Annual Qualitative Monitoring. The first Semi -Annual
Qualitative Monitoring must be made in conjunction with the first Analytical Annual Monitoring event
regardless of when the first event is conducted. Subsequent Semi -Annual Qualitative Monitoring must be
conducted once in the Spring (April -June) and once in the Fall (September -November). Semi -Annual
Qualitative Monitoring reports (Appendix IV), must be filled out completely and be maintained on -site with
the Plan. Where practical, the same individual should conduct the collection and examination of discharges
for the entire term of the permit. The documentation for the first Semi -Annual Qualitative Monitoring made
in conjunction with the first Analytical Annual Monitoring event must be submitted to the NCDENR with
the DMR for the first Analytical Annual Monitoring event.

Hi Judy,
1 was able to get out to Cherokee Co Mine (20-14) to perform a WQ inspection, an my comment sheet (Chip gave to you at Hearing V 13) I stated 1 would add comments
afterinspccung_
They will receive it Notice of Violation from DWQ for permit condition and stream standard violations Not sure how much information you would like relating to this, let
me know ifyou need more than -my synopsis below.
Housekeeping -poor
BMP Maintenance-pcor,,,see attached photo
Sediment lmpacts to stream -yes, below basin #2,,,mild to moderate
I will check the basins and streams in the future during a rainfall event, but 1 feel confident in saying it is highly likely that they would be violating DWQ instream Turbidity
standard -
The two original basins (# 1,02) are just basins with a riser barrel and they are short circulpng, a contributing factor to the instream sediment impacts
Thisfacility (and associated streams) would benelit greatly if baffles or forebays (considering their lack of maintenance forebays may be better suited) were installed in
basins # 1 and #2. The basins appear to be large enough for this to take place with little involved.
Also if some sort of chamber system were involved with these basins the facility could possibly use a flocculam (only DWQ approved chemicals) to assist with settling and
turbidity, if needed in the future
Thankyou for the opportunity to comment, Linda Wiggs

The Cherokee County Quarry appears to be doing a good job on both record
keeping and site stormwater management. The Best Management Plan is complete and
comprehensive. ' Please be advised that process water requires quarterly monitoring
unless the closed loop process recycle wastewater basins are designed and operated
with two.feet of freeboard (Park III page 7 of 9 NCG020000). The day of the inspection
the basin was completely full and there was evidence of overflow. Please provide design
specifications of the basin indicating that the system was designed to have two feet of
