include chemical additives) stored on the site, or wastewater or stormwater industrial
discharges while the permittee is not monitoring.
• No wastewater shall be generated and all wastewater treatment units, if any, shall
be cleaned and stabilized, and inactivated as to render them harmless to the
environment while the site is dormant.
• The Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) shall be kept updated to reflect
the status of the facility. Updates and conditions of the SPPP of note are:
o -The BMP Summary shall be reviewed and updated annually.
o Training programs shall be developed and training provided at least once
a year for facility personnel with responsibilities for: spill response and
cleanup, preventative maintenance activities, and for any of the facility's
operations that have the potential to contaminate stormwater runoff.

Permit: NCG020691 Owner - Facility: Vulcan Construction Materials LP
Inspection Date: 01/27/2014 Inspection Type: Compliance Evaluation Reason for Visit: Routine
Inspection Summary:
Vulcan bought this quarry from Burke County Stone in 2007. Burke County Stone was issued a stormwater permit in
2006. The site has not been inspected for stormwater since the permit was issued. The quarry is not active. They have no
equipment onsite and had planned to use the area for new employee training. Due to the lack of business they never
started the quarry back up after purchasing it.
We discussed the stormwater requirements with John Peck and asked if they were doing monitoring and following their
SWPPP. They have not been taking samples or doing any of the required items in the SWPPP because the site is not
active. They do not have SWPPP for the site. They do have a current mining permit and are in compliance with DLR.
We told John that we would check on what they needed to do to at the site -
Vulcan needs to submit a notification requesting dormant status. The annual stormwater permit fees will still need to paid
and kept current. When Vulcan decides to go active again you can submit a simple request to do so. I called and spoke to
Tony Johnson with Vulcan about this as well.

no mine dewatering water on the site. Laura concurs. So at this point I do not have any concerns

Howdy Laurie,
Attached is the add info that I received in November for this site. I thought that this adequately
addressed your concerns, and plan on issuing this permit to Vulcan Materials either this Friday or
next. A name/ownership change was received by the Division on 1 /29/07. 1 had delayed issuing
the permit because I was going; to request approval from ARO's water supply section due to their
drainage to WSIV classified Fast Prong Hunting Creek before I realized that with only
stormwater discharges the site doesn't require water supply approval.

Dear M/M Lau,
This correspondence is in response to your letter dated October 19, 2006 requesting
further information on the NOI submitted by Burke County Stone. Below are answers to
you questions, item by item.
1. Your letter states that the recent mine permit application list mine dewatering,
but our record show the application states there is no mine dewatering (see
attached page from permit application). Storm water runoff is stored in the
back of the pit area and that area used as a holding area. To my knowledge,
no discharge other than stormwater runoff, exist.
2. Please find attached drawings and construction details for the BMP's utilized
at the facility
I can be contacted at 828-433-7969 should you have further questions or concerns.
Regards,
Burke County Stone, Inc.

the riser. The outside valley of the riser shall be supplied with 1/2"
perforations spaced 3" apart, to within. 1. ` of the top.
4. The riser will be supported with a 1/2" iron stake placed at. 3 points
around the riser. The iron stakes will also serve as a holder for the trash
screen. A concrete or steel base will be attacked to the bottom of the
pipe to prevent it from being inadvertly moved.
5. Ri.ser and the trash screen will rearaairi at a height 1. foot below the
lowest point of the outside walls of the basin.
G. Filter fabric will be placed around the riser in the area of the perforalnioaas
and secured with wire every 12". After the falter fabric is secure, 3/4"
gravel (washed stone) will be placed around the riser to within F of the
top, but not above the filter fabric.

7. Seed all. the disturbed area except the inside of the basin, using the
Vegetation plan .
8. Sedirtient will be removed from basin when. the level is within 6" of the
top of the washed stone (l 8" from top), or when the basin Is i.nelfective.
9. An emergency spillway will be built to provide for excessive runoff.
The spillway will be constructed of rip -rap stone with a filter fabric
underlayment. The emergency spillway will be built I'below the lowest
perimeter height (wall) of the basin.

control drawing on a filter fabric foundation.
2. Keep the center stone section at least 9 inches belo,v round level
where the clam abuts the channel banks.
3. Extend stone at least 1.5 feet beyond the ditch banks where side
slopes permit to keep overflow waters from undercutting the darn as it
reenters the channel.
4. Set spacing between the dams to assure that the elevation at the top of
the lower dam is the same as the toe elevation of the upper dam.
5. Downstream of the lowest check darn protect the channel by placing
rip rap stone on filter fabric as shown on the attached drawing.
6. Ensure that the culverts at the entrance road are not subject to
blockage frorn displaced stones.

Vegetation Plan
1. All of the disturbed area will be covered with dirt and or gravel
as needed to prepare for seeding or future use.
2. Surface mulch shall be applied after seeding to provide a means
Of cont3-011111g runoff and erosion in disturbed areas. Straw
mulch shall be applied at the rate of 1 ton per acre. Straw
should be dry, unchopped, unweathered and free of weeds.
Wheat or oat straw is preferred and can be spread by machine
or hand. Straw must be tacked down to avoid loss by wind.
3. The following seed and fertilizer mix will be used:
Agricultural lime 2,000##lacre
Fertilizer 1,0009lacre
Fescue (Ky-31) 1009/acre
Clover 204lacre
Rye Grain 1204!acre
Shrub Lespedez2 304!acre
21n Spring planting Use hulled seed, in Fall use unhuUed seed.

4. After a vegetation growth is established, fertilization and
reseeding will continue as needed until a sod layer is
established.
5. Decorative landscaping may be added as a beautification project
in stable areas, but only in areas not subject to erosion and heavy
runoff. If landscaping is used in any area that is not level a felt
or silt blanket shall be used to prevent erosion. Areas with only
mulch for a ground cover shall be inspected weekly for signs of
erosion and runoff flow problems.
G. All erosion and sediment controls shall be seeded as soon as they
are constructed.

Mauitenance Plan
1. All erosion and sediment control will be checked for stability
following each runoff producing rainfall but in no case less than once
every week. Any needed repai3-s will. be made immediately to
niai ritai n at I controls as designed.
2. Sediment basins will. be cleaned out when the level of sediment is
1l2 of basin capacity. Gravel will be cleaned or replaced when
sediment pool no longer drai as properly.
3. Sediment will be removed from the rock check dams ti�,hen the
storage capacity has been 50% f Iced.
4. A_11 seeded areas will be fertilized., reseeded as necessary and ivailclzed
according to specificatior.i 61 the vegetation plan to rnaiiitau7 a
vigorous dense vegetation cover.
5. l-Energy dissipaters shall be checked :for effectiveness and wear (loose
or misplaced stones) after each runoff producing rainfall. Repairs
shall be roade immediately.
C. Culverts shall be inspected. for loose or rr-risplaced stones, straw and
other debris that could prevent the Oo-,v of runoff.

Dear Mr. Carswell:
Your facility's Notice of Intent (NOI) for permit NCG020000 was received by the
Stormwater Permitting Unit on September 18, 2006. However, a review of the NOI by both
myself and the Asheville Regional Office showed that the application is incomplete. Before the
NOI can finish being processed please provide information regarding the following:
1) Though this NOI failed to mention that mine dewatering was occurring onsite, a
recent mining permit modification that the region has reviewed did mention
dewatering. Please provide design drawings and calculations that prove water
discharging from the dewatering system will meet water quality requirements of
the effluent.
2) Please provide details as to what BMPs are being utilized at the facility.
If the requested information is -not returned to my attention by November 17, 2006 your
application will be returned as incomplete.
If you have any questions, please contact me at [phone], extension 578.
Sincerely,

Burke County Stone NCG02 N01
Subject: Burke County Stone NCG02 NOI
From: Laurie Moorhead <Ilaurie.Moorliead a ncmaiLnet>
Date: Wed, I 1 Oct 2006 15:52:59 -0400
To: Aisha Lau <Aisha.Lau a ncmailnet>
CC: Starr Silvis <S1arr.Silvis a ncmaiLnet>, Laura Herbert <Laura.Herbert a nemail.net>
Aisha,
This stormwater application is a new permit for an existing mine.... meaning that the mine has had a
mining permit since 1999 and they slipped through our stormwater system somehow. They have
applied for our stormwater permit, which they are required to have, and also have submitted a
modification for their mining permit. In looking at what they have submitted for their mining permit,
we can not tell if there will be an impact from offsite stormwater or not, given the insufficient detail.
This lack of information is only superceded by the lack of information in our NOI. I recommend that
we return their NOI as being incomplete. (If you look at their NOI, you'll note there is no real
information provided.) In the meantime, we will wait to see what Land Quality does with their
requested modification of their mining permit.
Please copy ARO on your letter returning their NOI. You might also mention that they are in
violation of the CWA for every day that they have an unpermitted stormwater discharge from their
site. Thanks.
