Judy and Janet,
Just had a message from Tom. He has talked to their accountant and will be sending in an application for ownership
change. Will probably submit the end of this week or so. He will wait until he receives a letter back telling him what to do
with the bond. He indicated that Judy is usually very good with this (as we well know)!
Happy Holidays and safe travels if you are on the road.

All,
Just had a call from Tom Freeman, and this quarry is changing its name to Boone's Woodlawn Quarry, LLC. I instructed Tom
that they need to submit an application for at least a name change, and maybe an ownership change depending on the legal
aspect of this change. He indicated that Explosives Supply Company, Inc. is still the parent company but that they had talked
with their insurance company about changing the bond. I again indicated that this appears to be an ownership change
(responsible entity change) and that an application to change ownership would be necessary, but that he should talk to their
attorney forthe details and determination (how's that for a run-on sentence!). He was going to talk to the company today
and get back with us. Stay tuned.
Thanks,
Laura

Inspection Summary:
DWQ staff was met on site by Josh Boone. A tour was conducted of the facility, observing the stormwater conveyances
and outfalls and site conditions. During the visit, the SPPP manual was reviewed, operational activities and existing
stormwater exposures were discussed. Permit requirements were also reviewed.
At the time of the inspection the site was found to be non -compliant with the permit for the following:
- Inadequate inspection records
- Inadequate training records
- Inadequate monitoring records
During the site visit, it was noted that maintenance of certain sediment and erosion control measures could be improved.
Sediment had washed from the site to a roadside ditch in the vicinity of the stockpile area along American Thread Road.
Also, the sediment basin below the waste disposal area was full of sediment and not functioning well.
The following items should be addressed-
- The SPPP needs to be updated
- Proper training, inspection and monitoring records need to be kept
- All required stormwater control inspections need to be completed and documented
- All required stormwater analytical and qualitative monitoring must be accomplished and recorded

authorized stormwater discharges only. The modified COC has added authorization to operate a
process wastewater treatment system (recycle system), and to discharge process wastewater.
Please be aware that process wastewater discharges, even for rainfall in excess of a 10-yr,
24-hr storm event, are still subject to the analytical monitoring requirements in Part III, Table 7 of

Dear Mr. Cranford,
R@&RO
WPI-A-011
JUL I 8 201,
During the early Spring we had a meeting at Explosive Supply Company's Woodlawn Quarry to discuss.
the Stormwater permit and also the non discharge wastewater permit. The discussion about the non -
discharge permit has gone on for some time and the meeting was held to have all parties come together
to make a decision on how the quarry could be properly permitted for the Stormwater. The non -recycle
system had overflowed some time back due to the heavy rainfall associated with a hurricane that came
through the area.
By this letter and the attached NOI, Explosive Supply wishes to have the recycle wastewater system
covered under the stormwater permit certificate of coverage, which will in effect make the Recycle
Permit No. WQ0004624 void upon your approval. Wastewater is only discharged from the recycle
system during rainfalls that exceed the 10 year, 24 hour rainfall events. Thus the discharge from the
system is not normally occurring but there is the potential during heavy rainfall events for the
overflowing of the system.
Please find attached an updated NOI and the necessary attachments to make the above changes. No
fees are required, per you March 28, 2011 e-mail. Should you have questions I can be reached at the
above numbers during normal business hours.
Regards,

The following activities are also included:
• Active or inactive mining operations (including borrow pits —except for NCDO►borrow pits) that discharge
stormwater contaminated with or that has come in contact with, any overburden, raw material, intermediate
products, finished products, byproducts or waste products located on the site of such operations;
• Stormwater from vehicle maintenance activities at mining operations;
• Overflow from facilities that recycle process wastewater; andlor
• Mine dewatering (wastewater)
The following activities are specifically excluded from coverage under this General Permit:
• Stormwater discharges associated with peat mining, coal mining, and metal mining;
• Stormwater discharges from mining operations which are intermixed on site with stormwater from asphalt
operations andlor concrete operations;
• Stormwater discharges associated with oil and gas extraction operations; and
• Stormwater discharges associated with tourist gem mines
• NCDOT borrow pits are covered under NCS000150
The following discharges are covered by NPDES eneral permit NCG520000 instead of NCG020000:
• Point source discharges of stormwater and wastewater from in -stream sand mining operations (i.e., sand
dredging or dipping operations)

® Additional Information for Stormwater NOI .
Explosive Supply Company, Woodlawn Quarry
Question # 10, page 3
Explosive Supply Company's, Woodlawn Quarry has had a non -discharge
recycle wastewater permit for 20+ years but had a discharge during a heavy
rainfall event due to two hurricanes. That permit has been allowed to expire and
the recycle system will now be covered by the Stormwater permit.
Question # 27, page 6
a. Explosive Supply Company's, Woodlawn Quarry has operated for many years
under a permitted closed loop recycle wastewater system and has also had a
stormwater permit as well. It is not clear who designed the original closed loop
system (over 20 years ago) but it had worked well until the massive amount of
runoff from 2 recent hurricanes caused it to overflow. At that point it was no
longer a closed loop system. We are in the process of including waste water in
the stormwater permit and dropping the recycle permit.
The system is designed to provide water to the crushing plant for wet
40 suppression as well as the water for the stone washing operation. The system
has a primary pond which accepts all the runoff from the operations as well as
the water from the stone washing operation. The water is allowed to flow slowly
through this pond allowing the heavy solids to be settled out so they can be
mechanically removed, dewatered by draining and recycled as a product. The
overflow from the primary pond flows through two more ponds and then to a
recycle pond where the water is returned to the process by pumping. The
recycle pond does not overflow except during heavy rainfall events exceeding the
10 year 24 hour.rainfall event. Water is continuously lost due to the moisture
content of the stones that is sold.
Pump failure is not in question as the source of water for the recycle system is
from the recycle pond and the pump (if the pump stops supplying water to the
plant area, the flow to the ponds stops).

Dear Mr. Boone:
The Division of Water Quality's Stormwater Permitting Unit received a National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System (NPDES) permit application for Woodlawn Quarry on May 19, 2008, The application
included a copy of an associated mining permit that is pending renewal by the Division of Land Resources
(DLR). Please be aware that the issuance of an NPDES permit is contingent upon the issuance of an associated
mining permit from DLR. Our office will process your stormwater permit application once a DLR mining
permit has been issued for your project.
Please also be aware that if your project is located near wetlands, your NPDES permit will require
dewatering operations without wetland impacts. The specific requirements for mine dewatering at facilities
near wetlands can be found in the text of the general NPDES mining permit number NCG 020000 available on
our website, http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/su/Forms_Docwnents.htm. See Section C, Part 1 of the permit on the
page labeled, "Part III Page 5 of 9". An approved Operation and Monitoring Plan is required for NPDES-
permitted mining facilities. Discharging mine dewatering wastewater without Plan approval will be subject to
enforcement action. A Plan for your facility must be submitted to the Washington Regional Office within 60
days of your receipt of an NPDES permit. We encourage you to contact Starr Silvis at the Asheville Regional
Office at [phone] to address any wetland concerns for your facility in order to ensure a successful
NPDES application review.
If you have any questions concerning the NPDES permit approval process, please contact me at
telephone number [phone] ext. 360,
Sincerely, �j

be sure everyone in sw is aware of it for future permits. Let me know what you find out.
Thanks!

Ok. That was my understanding as well when talking to the owner on the phone some time
ago. So, are you comfortable with it to proceed with me issuing our COC for stormwater
discharges only? Is the non -discharge system back into compliance so there is no longer a
wastewater discharge?

Good Morning Robert:
Just spoke to APS on this one.
They are co -mingling SW and WW in this system.
I believe that this either needs to be addressed prior to issuance of the SW permit;

I will go down tomorrow with APS and get started on the process of notifying and

I have reviewed the NOI.
Aquifer Protection has not verified that the Non -Discharge system has
been repaired and is no longer in violation.
I do not believe that we should issue the NCG until it is verified that the
illicit discharge has been rectified in order to prevent them i-or
automatically being in violation of said NCG.

Chuck,
I just got off the phone with the owner's engineer (Tom Freeman,
828-765-1515) for the subject mine. This is one I was working on
with Starr before she left. Not sure if you or someone else has been
assigned this one now.
Mr. Freeman said that they are now back in compliance with their
non -discharge permit WQ0004624. Therefore, the only discharge
from the site will be storrnwater only. DLR modified their mining
permit 56-35 on 6/30/08. With these issues taken care of does the
ARO have any concerns with issuing the NCG02 for stormwater
only?

and benchmarks. So, they would not
necessarily need to upgrade the ponds. Based
on our permit guidance, we don't require an
ATC for dewatering of quarries and sand mines
unless they use chemical treatment. Also, an
ATC is not required for process ww for
send/gravel and closed -loop recycle systems.
We could require them to provide plans and
talcs for the ww system to show they will meet
permit limits and then issue them an ATO if no
upgrades are required to the system. is the
owner aware that we would like this ncg02 to
replace the WQ permit? I'm thinking we should
communicate this to the owner and ask for
supporting documents for the ww system in
order to issue an ATO. Do you want to contact
him, or would you like me to? I don't mind
either way.

I don't think it would be under our

Regardless, it sounds like the neg14

that once the rest is cleared Lip.
I'm a little confused though ... I see on
their site plan that they have multiple
ponds and sediment traps ... are all of'
those part of the �,vw system? If they
are, what water leaves the site at the 2
sw outfalls they have denoted on the

Are there any wetland concerns at this

Re: [Fwd: [Fwd: Re: NCG020731 - Woodlawn Quarry, McDowell Co...
NCG 14 ready mix permit. I went
to the facility several weeks ago
with Aquifer protection. They
have a non -discharge permit with
AP. We found that the facility
continuously discharges from their
wastewater pond. It is my opinion
that they will need to get an A to C
for any changes they want to make
to the pond. They obviously do
not have a handle on what
"non -discharge" means, nor do
they have the knowledge necessary
to make changes that would
comply with our rules. This is
evidenced by 1) the fact that they
told us they never discharge; yet
when we observed the culvert that
drains the pond it was discharging,
and 2) they had installed a
freeboard marker _above_ the
level of the culvert. Also, all the
stormwater for the site enters the
wastewater system. My guess is
that the system is VERY
undersized given the volume of
water it has to handle.
I did not realize at the time of ouf
site visit that the ESC mine had a
NCG14 permit. To the best of my
knowledge they do not conduct
ready mix activities at the site.
Also, please be aware that this site
is owned by the sarne folks that
own McDowell concrete
(NCG 140325). Ken, you are
excruciatingly aware of the
difficulties we have had with that
site. I would venture to guess that
the same level of' understanding of
our requirements is present at this
site as at McDowell Concrete.

So I guess I would say I DO have
concerns about this facility and
would request that they go through
either an A to C process or an A to
O whichever you feel is most
appropriate. They need to
redesign and modify their existing
wastewater ponds so that they do
not discharge. Right now there are
three ponds that are connected by
culverts. The elevations of the
culverts are such that if the second
pond is discharging, so is the third
and final pond.

Dear Mr. Boone:
Coleen 11 Sullins, Director
Division of Water Quality
The Division of Water Quality's Stormwater Permitting Unit received a National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System (NPDES) permit application for Woodlawn Quarry on May 19, 2008. The application
included a copy of an associated mining permit that is pending renewal by the Division of Land Resources
(DLR). Please be aware that the issuance of an NPDES permit is contingent upon the issuance of an associated
mining permit from DLR. Our office will process your stormwater permit application once a DLR mining
permit has been issued for your project.
Please also be aware that if your project is located near wetlands, your NPDES permit will rpgttire
dewatering operations without wetland impacts. The specific requirements for mine dewatering at facilities
near wetlands can be found in the text of the general NPDES mining permit number NCG 020000 available on
our website, http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/su/Forms_Documents.htm. See Section C, Part 1 of the permit on the
page labeled, "Part III Page 5 of 9". An approved Operation and Monitoring Plan is required for NPDES-
permitted mining facilities. Discharging mine dewatering wastewater without Plan approval will be subject to
enforcement action. A Plan for your facility must be submitted to the Washington Regional Office within 60
days of your receipt of an NPDES permit. We encourage you to contact Starr Silvis at the Asheville Regional
Office at [phone] to address any wetland concerns for your facility in order to ensure a successful
NPDES application review.
If you have any questions concerning the NPDES permit approval process, please contact me at
telephone number [phone] ext. 360.
Sincerely,

They have a renewal pending. As long as they have submitted the renewal by the
expiration date they can continue mining under the old permit.
Robert Patterson wrote:
Judy,
We got an application for an NPDES stormwater permit from Explosive Supply
Company, Inc. for the subject mine. It looks like the mining permit was
originally issued back in 1986. The copy of the mining permit they submitted to
us says that it expired March 25, 2007. Do they have a mining permit renewal or
modification in process or issued? What's confusing is the copy they submitted
has a permit no. of 59-18, but when Bethany looked up the mine name in your
database it gave a permit no. of 56--35.
Thanks!
