Hi Jim,
We've received an NOI from Johnson Paving Company, Inc. for their Toms Creek Quarry site in
Marion (McDowell Co.), NCG020685. This site has been covered in the past by two general mining
permit COCs that expired when the company failed to renew their.permit (NCG020275 &
NCG020309), but since they haven't been paying annual fees since 2004, we're issuing a new COC
number. They are -already covered under Mining Permit 56-34 (modified in 2/06).
This crushed stone quarry discharges stormwater and mine dewatering water into Toms Creek, a
class C water in the Catawba Basin. Does the Asheville Regional Office have any concerns about
re -issuing this facility a COC for this general permit? If we don't receive any objections, we'll issue
the COC in 30 days.
Thanks,

shall be provided to the Department upon request.
F. Excessive Ground Vibration/Air blast Reporting:
If ground vibration or Air blast limits are exceeded, the operator will immediately
report the event with causes and corrective actions to the Department. Use of
explosives at the blast site that produced the excessive reading shall cease until
corrective actions approved by the Department are taken. However, blasti;ig
may occur in other approved areas within the permitted boundary. Authorization
to blast at the blast site may be granted at the time of the verbal reporting of the
high ground vibration or high air blast reading if the circumstances justify vr.�rbal
approval. Failure to report will constitute a permit violation.
G. FI rock Prevention:
The operator shall take all reasonable precautions to ensure that flyrock is not
thrown beyond areas where the access is temporarily or permanently guarded by
the operator. Failure to take corrective measures to prevent flyrock and
repeated instances of flyrock shall be considered a violation of the Mining Permit.
H. Fl rock Reporting:
Should flyrock occur beyond the permitted and guarded areas, the operator shall

Inspection Summary:
Progress is being made slowly but surely with this facility and its required diligence of pond maintenance. Pond #002 had
been cleaned out since the last followup inspection on March 5, 2007 and no discharge was occurring at the time. The
recycle pond area will need to be cleaned out soon, however, based upon the level of the ponds and the amount of
rainfall that was occurring at the time. The new rain gage which had been installed since the March 5, 2007 inspection
indicated that they have had over 2 inches of rain. Mr. Pinson was reminded to document inspection of the ponds within
24 hours of the conclusion of the ongoing rain and he indicated that he intends to initiate regular cleaning of pond #002.
Pond #001 was not discharging at the time of inspection but did have stormwater in it.
A followup inspection is to be scheduled within the next 4 weeks to document cleaning of all ponds; initiation of BMP
inspections and visual monitoring. Mr. Pinson indicated that he is trying to locate a state certified laboratory to conduct
the analytical work for the necessary April 2007 sampling.

Reason for Visit: Follow-up
Inspection Summary:
Laurie Moorhead with the DWQ met Bill Pinson, manager of the quarry operations to review the status of non -compliant
activities. At the time of inspection, the recycle pond at the entrance of the mine was being dredged.
Grading is almost complete at the crush and run area. Mr. Pinson stated that he intends to seed the area soon.
Installation of water bars via paving at the bridge is scheduled for spring once temperatures warm up, according to Mr.
Pinson.
The rain gauge which had been installed, according to owner Mr. Greg Johnson, had broken (was not emptied and it
froze). Mr. Pinson stated that he intended to purchase a new rain gauge after the inspector left.
The sediment pond which captures mine dewatering water and runoff from spoil piles was still not cleaned out. However,
some effort had been made as the dragline was at the pond and a broken line was evident. Mr. Pinson stated that he
hoped to have the dragline repaired by the end of the day.
Ms. Moorhead intends to schedule another followup visit for the end of the week to verify that the sediment pond has
been cleaned.
Ms. Moorhead reviewed the necessary record keeping for analytical and visual monitoring with Mr. Pinson. At the time of
inspection, no monitoring had occurred as Mr. Pinson had not read the permit which explains monitoring.
No BMP plan has been prepared since the initial inspection in 2006

Dear Mr. Johnson:
Enclosed please find a copy of the Fallow -up Compliance Inspection report from
the inspection conducted on January 8, 2007 by Laurie Moorhead of the Asheville
Regional Office. She was met by Bill Pinson of your staff and was guided throughout the
inspection.
While some progress has been made since the inspection conducted on
September 1, 2006, the facility remains Non -Compliant with the requirements of your
stormwater permit NCG020685. Establishing satisfactory compliance with the permit will
require implementation of measures that fulfill all terms and conditions contained therein.
In moving toward the goal of full compliance, the inspector requires immediate
implementation of the following actions, along with any others that the facility's owners
judge appropriate:
Clean both the recycle pond and the sediment pond designated as pond 002 at the
strip area to ensure that both function as designed. Note that sediment pond 002
was discharging turbid water at the time of inspection and needs immediate
attention.
The discharge of untreated dewatering water is not permitted. You may either
direct dewatering water to sediment pond 002 for treatment or apply for an
Authorization to Construct from the Division of Water Quality for a treatment
practice specifically designed for the dewatering water.
Prepare a stormwater BMP implementation plan for the mine site as described in
the subject permit that includes documentation of all inspections of stormwater
best management practices, including the required 7-day inspections and those

Inspection Date: 01/08/2007 inspection Type: Stormwater Reason for Visit: Fo{low-up
Inspection Summary:
The inspector met Bill Pinson, foreman of the quarry operations, and reviewed the following violations from the previous
inspection on 09/01/2006:
1)The recycling pond at the entrance of.the facility was in need of cleaning out during the 09/01/2006 " inspection and
again on 01/08/2007. Mr. Pinson indicated that it had been cleaned since the 09/01/2006 inspection nd that he intended
to clean it again.
2)Since the 09/01/2006 inspection outfall 001 by the crush and run activities has been eliminated by the addition of fill
material which still needs to be leveled or graded and possibly seeded to complete the work. It is recommended that this
work be completed to ensure that no stormwater exits the property at this point.
3)A scrap metal worker was removing the scrap metal pile at the old outfall 001 during the 01/08/2007 inspection. Once
all metal has been removed, additional grading may be needed to ensure that no stormwater exits from this old outfall. It
is recommended that this area be evaluated and possibly graded once the metal is removed to ensure that no stormwater
exits from this area.
4)The sediment basin serving the base of the strip area was functioning properly at the time of inspection on 01 /08/2007.
This basin was designated as outfall 002 during the previous inspection on 09/01/2006. Since the elimination of the
previous outfall 001, it will now be referred to as outfall 001.
5)There was no mine dewatering occurring during the inspection on 01 /0812007. In the past, dewatering water has been
discharged directly to surface waters which served as outfall 003 during the previous inspection. Mr. Pinson was advised
to either. discharge the dewatering water to the large sediment pond at the strip area (here designated as sediment pond
002)for treatment prior to discharge or to provide some other form of treatment (which will require an Authorization to
Construct). This pond discharge will now serve as outfall 002. Currently sediment pond 002 receives runoff from the
edge of the quarry and road. This pond is in great need of cleaning as it was discharging turbid water at the time of
inspection on 01/08/2007. This pond is not being maintained as evidenced during both inspections and by the presence
of grass growing on top of deposited sediment. Immediate cleaning of this BMP is required.
6)The road crossing the bridge at the base of the strip area is serving as a source of sediment to the creek. Discussion
with Mr. Pinson concluded that he would install an asphalt water bar at both ends of the bridge to eliminate stormwater
running onto the bridge from higher topographic areas. It was noted that the water bar on the strip area side will cause
more water to run into sediment pond 001 and that close monitoring of the basin will be required.
7)The vehicle maintenance area has been improved since the previous inspection on 09/01/2006. Secondary
containment has been provided for 3 tanks outside of the building. A roof is planned to be installed. An indoor floor drain
has been capped and a spill kit has been provided. Much of the interior area has been cleaned and organized.
8)Mr. Pinson has initiated monitoring of the dewatering pump but has not begun visual or analytical monitoring of the
outfal Is. He noted that he does not have monitoring forms. Forms will be attached to this report and Mr. Pinson has been
directed to install a rain gauge at the site.

Section D: Summary of Finding/Comments (Attach additional sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary)
The inspector was pleasantly greeted by Bill Pinson, foreman of the quarry operations, who provided a
facility tour of the quarry, vehicle maintenance area, and stormwater BMPs. A number of permit violations
were noted with recommendations for correction as follows:
1)The recycling pond at the entrance of the facility was in need of cleaning out at the time of inspection.
Recommend that this pond be cleaned.
2)Outfall 001 drains the load -out area for crush and run activities and at the time of inspection, the gravel
dam was in need of repair. Deposition of sediment was evident on the creek -side of the dam. A sediment
pond located in front of the dam also needed to be cleaned out at the time of inspection. It is STRONLY
recommended that the crush and run area be re -graded so that it does not drain at all to this outfall, thus
eliminating the potential for any discharge and also eliminating this outfall and its monitoring requirements.
Should the operator choose not to eliminate this outfall, then the dam must be repaired and the sediment
pond in front must be cleaned out.
3)The area at outfall 001 contains scrap metal screens and other metal trash which should be hauled to
proper disposal.
4)The sediment basin serving the base of the strip area was in need of cleaning at the time of inspection.
This pond serves as outfall 002 and serves as one of the outfalls requiring visual and analytical monitoring
as specified in the permit for stormwater.
5)Mine dewatering water is currently being discharged to Tom's Creek by way of pumping from the pit to a
rip -rap and grassed lined discharge point. Water being discharged at the time of inspection was clear. This
outfall serves as 003 and is required to be monitored quarterly as specified in the permit.
6)The road crossing the bridge over to the strip area currently serves as a source of sediment to Toms
Creek. It is recommended that the operator consider options to address this source of sediment.
7)The vehicle maintenance operations are in a deplorable state. Multiple spills were evident outside of the
building under the 3 tanks holding petroleum products. No secondary containment is provided. The interior
of the vehicle maintenance area also contains multiple spills with no clearly identified spill kit in sight. A
floor drain in the center of the building was open at the time of inspection. It is STRONGLY recommended
that the interior of the building be cleaned from spills. Note that secondary containment is required for all
fluids, the floor drain must be permanently plugged, and the contaminated soils around the perimeter of the
building are to be removed and properly disposed of.
8)General housekeeping of the entire site needs improvement. The site is dominated by abandoned
vehicles,. metal parts, old storage drums and tankers- It is STRONGLY recommended that housekeeping of
the site, including the interior of the vehicle maintenance area, be addressed.
9)No visual or analytical monitoring of the 3 outfalis and the sediment and erosion control BMPs, as
required in the permit, has occurred. No documentation of monitoring exists. It is STRONGLY
recommended that the permittee read the permit, become familiar with ail requirements, and initiate
required monitoring and documentation of such.
