Dear Mr. Setzer:
On September 17, 2008), Vicki Webb of the Raleigh Regional Office conducted a stormwater compliance inspection of
the subject facility. The facility is located at 320 Market Street in Sanford, NC. Your assistance was appreciated as it
facilitated the inspection process.
The following observations were made:
Stormwater runoff from this site is discharged to the receiving waters designated as Little Buffalo Creek in the Cape Fear
River Basin.
The process water flows to the cement treatment pits. Water enters into the first pit and flows through.the series to filter
out solids. The facility then recycles this water back into the plant operations.
All components of the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SP3) were present including: detailed site map with labeled
storm outfall, a list of potential contaminants, a spill and response plan, a narrative describing BMPs, and a contact list of
whom to contact in an emergency. Employee training records were on -site. The facility inspects containment areas,
storage tanks, and valves and piping on a monthly basis. This facility maintains good house keeping practices. The files
are kept in a well organized fashioned. Such order eased the file review process.
The overall condition of Ready Mixed Concrete Co. is compliant with Division standards. If you have any questions
regarding the attached report or any of the findings, please contact Vicki Webb at: [phone] (or email:

Dear Mr. Dare:
P.O. Box 27326, Raleigh, NC 27611
In response to the Compliance Evaluation of NPDES Storm Water Permit, COC
Number NCG140035 for Ready Mixed Concrete Co. Plant # 7, Sanford NC. Lee
County.
Item # 1. Disposal location of the liquid and solids from our detention pits. The pit
system is designed to clean out solids with our wheel loader and store in a drying
bin until material is dry, after drying it is used as back fill: The liquid is filtered with
an industrial sand filter and reused washing down the trucks and as batch water
in the production of concrete. We have on occasion used Sharpe trucking Co. to
help control the freeboard in these pits. Sharpe told us that it dumped the water
in a grassy field; I have included a copy of their bill for your review.
Item # 4. The sediment pits in question were put in to catch solids from washing
down the mixer trucks. A sand filter was added to help recycle the water in the
production of concrete. The feasibility of protecting these pits from flooding of
Little Buffalo Creek is impossible; during major storm events the whole section is
flooded. The only recourse would be to move the whole facility. We have diverted
stormwater away from these pits with curbing trying to maintain the system, but
in a major storm event there is some flooding. We are open to any ideas on how
to deal with this problem, other than moving the whole facility.
I have also included invoices from Castrol Lubricants for the motor oil purchased
at this facility during 2004. The mechanic stated that he though we were using
about 300 gallons of motor oil a month. We only purchased 399 gallons for all of
2004, which equates to 33.25 gallons per month.

Subject: Compliance Evaluation Inspection
Ready Mixed Concrete - Sanford
NPDES Stormwater Permit No. NCG140035
Lee County
Dear Mr. Spence,
Michael F. Easley, Governor
William G. Ross, Jr., Secretary
North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources
Alan W. Klimek, P.E., Director
Division of Water Quality
This writer, of the NC Division of Water Quality, conducted an inspection of the Ready Mixed Concrete - Sanford
Plant on January 18, 2005. Mr. Steve Caulberg, Mr. Ray Jeffries and Mr. Jamie Godwin, represented the Ready Mixed
Concrete - Sanford Plant during the inspection. The assistance of everyone was greatly appreciated. Findings during the
inspection are as follows:
1) The collection trough, for process water associated with the recycle system, was filled to the top. A thick layer of ice
had formed on the surface of the water in this trough. Mr. Caulberg stated that as soon as the weather warmed up he
would have a septic -type hauling contractor pump this area out and any solids would be scooped up and placed in a
spoils pile for future disposal. Please inform this Office of the disposal location for both the liquid and solids from
this recycle system. The liquid disposal activity will likely require a NCDENR Pump and Haul Permit.
2) Mr. Godwin reported that new motor oil usage was approximately 300 gallons month. Because of this, the Analytical
Monitoring Requirements for On -Site Vehicle Maintenance apply. (Applies to facilities using more than 55 gallons of new
motor oil per month when averaged over the calendar year.) This requires that each stormwater discharge outfall (SDO)
that discharges stormwater from areas of vehicle maintenance be sampled and results reported for pH, total suspended
solids, oil and grease, new motor oil usage, total rainfall, event duration and total flow. (This would appear to apply to the
"batch house" SDO only.)
3) In a response letter from you, to the NC Division of Water Quality, dated 12/12/2002, you indicated, "The sediment pit
during a storm event can overflow and mix with stormwater." If this system is discharging, then you must comply with the
monitoring requirements in your permit under the section, Process Wastewater Associated With Recycle Systems. This
section requires that the recycle system discharge outfall be sampled and results reported for pH, total suspended solids,
settleable solids, total rainfall, event duration and total flow.
4) North Carolina Administrative Code 15A NCAC 02H .0219, MINIMUM DESIGN REQUIREMENTS, specifies that
treatment works and disposal systems (which would include the recycle system) be protected from a 100-year flood. Mr.
Jeffries stated that, during severe storm events, water from the adjacent Little Buffalo Creek has flooded the process
water collection trough area of the recycle system. This would indicate that this area is within the flood plain. Measures
need to be taken to protect the collection trough, and any other portions of the recycle system affected, from
floodwaters. Please inform this office of the steps to be taken to achieve this.
5) Significant gravel, sand and fines, from Plant operations, were noted leading to both Plant outfalls. These areas should
be routinely cleaned to prevent the material from migrating to the creek. This procedure should be included in the
Preventative Maintenance and Good Housekeeping Program portion of the Plant's Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan.
During this inspection, testing results were available for sampling that was performed at the "batch house' stormwater
discharge outfall only. Analytical monitoring requirements also apply to the "Maple St." outfall. This includes
sampling and reporting for pH, total suspended solids, total rainfall, event duration and total flow. All stormwater

discharge outfalls have qualitative monitoring requirements for color, odor, clarity, floating solids, suspended
solids, foam, oil sheen and other obvious indicators of stormwater pollution. As requested by Mr. Caulberg, I have
attached a Stormwater Discharge Outfall (SDO) Qualitative Monitoring Report form. Qualitative monitoring of outfalls is
performed semi-annually, at the times specified in your Permit.
6) Mr. Caulberg stated that he believed the water used for the wetting of stockpiled materials was evaporating prior to
leaving the property. If this system were to discharge, you would need to comply with the monitoring requirements in your
permit under the section, Process Wastewater Associated with Raw Materials Stockpiles. This section requires that
analytical monitoring of process wastewater associated with wetting of raw material stockpile discharges be performed for
pH, total suspended solids, settleable solids, event duration and total flow. Should there be no runoff, you must submit an
annual analytical monitoring report stating, "No discharge, therefore, no sampling required."
7) Past pH testing at your Plant has been performed by a Contract Laboratory. Because the holding time for pH samples
is 15 minutes, this Office requests that you acquire a pH meter and perform all pH testing on -site. The meter must be
calibrated prior to each use with a series of pH buffer solutions. (Note that pH paper is not acceptable.) Obviously, there
is a training component in this requirement. Perhaps one person within the Ready Mixed Concrete organization could
become proficient in the use of the meter and train all of those requiring this knowledge at the Ready Mixed locations with
storm water permits. NC Division of Water Quality personnel may observe Ready Mixed Concrete personnel perform a
calibration and test a sample during future inspections.
Please provide to this Office in writing, the information requested in items 1 and 4 above, within 30 days of receipt of this
letter.
Please call me at [phone] if you have any questions concerning the requested information or any other questions
regarding this inspection.

Dear Mr. Clark:
P.O. Box 27326, Raleigh, NC 27611
In response to your letter about NPDES permit NCG140035 Ready Mixed
Concrete Co. Plant 7, Sanford, NC. Lee County.
You ask that I respond to Item # 5 and #6.
Item # 5:
Number 5 is easy. I have included the new site plan in this letter for your review.
The reason that the old site plan was still in our SWPP manual was we added the
information to it that Mr. Nisely had requested.
Item # 6:
Our locations that are required to sample stormwater, test pH with pH test paper,
during the storm event. Mike Setzer is so close to the lab that the lab has tested
the pH for us. I will have Mike do his own pH test in the future, and the time
concern will not be a problem in the future.
We are looking at some systems to treat pH in our wash -pits. I will buy some pH
monitors to check the accuracy of these systems, once these systems are up
and operating.

Comments on Review of Sanford Ready Mixed Request for Tax Exemption, 8/6/03
A properly engineered system would take into account whether the facility is located on a
100 year flood plain. If it is in the flood plain, we will want to discuss the situation with
the Stormwater Group downtown.
A check of maps for this location shows the recycle structure to be very near or slightly
inside the flood plain, but too close for us to call from the maps. The 100 year elevation
is shown to be 357' above sea level. The elevation of the structure maybe between 355
and 358'.
Steve Mitchell recommends that we ask Ready Mixed to establish accurately the
elevation of the recycle pits at the point closest to the stream, and have them determine
whether or not they are in the flood plain.
If they are in the flood plain, might they erect an outside wall to shield the pit from
infiltration during a big rain?

Subject: Compliance Evaivation Inspection
Ready Mixed Concrete — Sanford
NPDES Stermwater Permit NCG140035
Lee County
Dear Mr. Spence:
On July 29. 2003. a Compliance Evaluation Inspection was conducted by the Division of Water Quaiity
(DWQ) Raleigh Regional Office staff at Ready Mixed Concrete - Sanford Plant Y7 . The ccoperatign cf
Mr. Mike Setzer was arestly appreciated As a result cf the inspection. the following comments ancicr
recommendations were developed:
General Permit No. NCG140000 — Cerificate of Coverage No. NCG1A003H became effenv=
August 1. 1999 and will exojre July 31. 2004.
_. The pfgce SS Wastewater recycling area Is completeiv surrcu'nced by coy^c,ete c-ir-ns (aDceaf is
have been reinforced in some spots since Myri Niseiy's October 2002 site visit) that prevent
stormwater from flowing into this area. All prccess wastewater (primahly ceneroted from the rinsing
and washing of concrete truck) flows first into one. and then the second. of cYvo concrete -reucns.
Process wastewater is then pumped through a fllter into o 301001 gallon i'onK one Then a HH, cailci,-
tank, Where the water Is reused There Is no gischarce of process '.vasievvatef ;i C,T, ;.^iIS SYSicm.
Examination of the creek (that is less than 10 feet from the two concrete trouans) apoearec tc
indicate that the stream water level may rise dangerously close to the two concrete trouens during
heavy rain events. Mike Setzer said that he has never known that the stream has ovencoeed the
concrete troughs.
4. Mike Setzer demonstrated the backwash capability of the water filtration pump. It properiy
discharged backwash water into the first of the two concrete troughs.
The Ready Mixed Concrete Facility manual was reviewed for records of spills. BMPs,
housekeeping, qualitative and quantitative monitoring, training, etc. The manual appeared
complete, except that an updated site map (that was referenced in your December 12, 2002 letter)
needs to be included in the manual. DWQ requests that a copy of this revised site map be sent to
our office.

6. Mike Setzer states that after samples are collected, they are stored and chilled in a cooler and then
transported to the laboratory. Mike Setzer stated that holding times for samples are met because
the laboratory is only five miles from the facility. Because pH sample holding time is only 15
minutes, DWQ recommends that a pH meter be made available for on site use. Ready Mixed
Concrete could purchase one pH meter to be used at several of its facilities.
Please respond to item nos. 5 and 6 in writing by September 5, 2003. If you have any questions

Dear Mr. Schuster:
P.O. Box 27326, Raleigh, NC 27611
In response to the Notice of Violation of NPDES Storm Water Permit COC Number
NCG140035 Ready Mixed Concrete Co. Plant 7, Sanford, NC., Lee County.
The first question in the letter of notice of violation references the design calculations to
show that the present recycle configuration can control the stormwater and process water
in accordance with our permit? This structure is only for process water, stormwater is
diverted away from these concrete sediment pits by concrete curbing. This is why Mike
Setzer said we could control the process water by recycling and the use of a permitted
pump and haul company to help haul off water if we were at full capacity.
The second statement noted that the pH of 11.45 was sampled out of the recycle tank
with a note about pH higher than 10 being caustic. We are very aware of the dangers of
high pH and even give customers MSDS sheets for our product, but this is not an a
violation of our permit all concrete wash pits have high pH. We are trying to recycle all
of this water to ensure no high pH water leaves our property.
The third question asked about runoff on the Maple street side of the plant, that runoff
needed to be tested and identified on the plant site map. I have included page 41 out of
our stormwater plan Sec 2 Item D., it list the outfalls and the GPS coordinates and also
the body of water that these outfalls drain to. The only run-off at this point is sheet flow.
was not aware of the 30' vegetation rule for sheet flow. We will sample this discharge
point from now on.
The fourth Statement was about a zoomed in USGS-type map. Our plan includes a USGS
map of the site. We have a narrative in our plan that provides the information you have
asked for. I have tried to blow up a USGS map to the scale you have asked for and the
information that you asked for is still not shown. I have included a copy for your review.
The last statement requested that we show the areas being served by each discharge point
on our site plan. This is also included in our S WPPP plan as part of the map section of the
Member National Ready Mixed Concrete Association

plan, yet since it is not on the actual sit map I will have Mid Atlantic Associates draw a
new site map and include this information in it, when completed I will send you a copy. I
have also included the section describing the run off square footage computation for your
review that is already in our plan
After reading Myrl Nisely letter of Notice of Violation, I cannot see what was in
violation. All the info that you are requesting is already in our plan. I will forward a copy

Please allow us to respond to your letter about our Sanford plant. As you observed we
have installed a water recycling system at our facility. All the water that we produce is
100% recycled. When you were at our plant you observed water seeping from a joint that
was cut in the curb. This has been repaired. Again all the water that we produce is
contained on our yard.
In retercnce to the bulk storage tank at our shop. This is a 330-gallon waste oil tank. On
February 12, 2002 you stated that 660-gallon tanks and above had to be contained. We
have placed a dike wound this tank just to be on the safe side. As you can see we have
and will continue to comply with all regulations.
If you have :any questions, please feel free to call me.

Dear Mr. Spence:
On October 18, 2002 Mr. Myrl Nisely of the Raleigh Regional office of Division of Water
Quality made a compliance inspection at the Cary facility. The help provided by Mr. Ray Jeffries
and Mr. Mike Setzer was appreciated. The results are as follows:
Documentation requirements (the SPPP manual) were complete except for training records. Mr
Setzer stated that videos are arriving soon and that training will be done the week of 10/21. We
discussed how to document that session plus other stormwater related training given throughout
the year. All employees are to receive stormwater and spill response training at least annually.
The handling of stormwater/process wastewater in the water recycle system appears to be
satisfactory, although two questions remain. How does the elevation of the recycle system
compare to that of flood levels of the creek? Are there design calculations to show that the
present water recycle configuration can control the stormwater and process wastewater in
accordance with the permit? Mr. Setzer stated that in times when overflow threatens to occur, a
local pump and haul company removes enough water to stay in compliance. The Division cannot
consider this emergency pumping approach as satisfactory design engineering. On the other
hand, recent observations were reported that a 5 to 6" rain was successfully contained. With
potential storage in the 3000 and 500 gallon tanks, perhaps the present system can satisfy the
permit with specific operating procedures.

Sanford Ready Mix Concrete, November 6, 2002 p. 2
Measurements made in the last cell showed pH of 11.45, as well as a sample taken from the 500
gallon recycle tank. We bring to your attention a health note. High pH water (>I0) is strongly
caustic, and is damaging to skin and eyes. Workers should use great caution in spaying down
trucks or otherwise coming in contact with this water.
On the Maple St. side of the plant various materials are stored. Runoff from that side of the plant
collects in the concrete trough along Maple St. to form a point discharge. This runoff must also
be sampled and identified on the plant site map. While no active process takes place, the runoff
may still show pH and solids outside the limits. If so, this will require steps to meet the permit.
On the location map for Part II Section A (I.)(a) please prepare a USGS-type map "zoomed in"
somewhat closer to show the facility's location in reference to transportation routes (as the
present map does) as well as where all stormwater discharges from the property. Identify the
surface receiving stream. Please send a copy of this map to the Division.
A change is also requested on the plant site map. Please designate the approximate areas being
served by each discharge point (Section A(1)(c)). Also send a copy of this map to the Division.
Please respond in writing within 30 days of receipt of this letter. If you have any comments or
questions, contact Myrl Nisely at 919-571-4700.

Dear Mr. Spence:
On October 18, 2002 Mr. Myrl Nisely of the Raleigh Regional office of Division of Water
Quality made a compliance inspection at the Cary facility. The help provided by Mr. Ray Jeffries
and Mr. Mike Setzer was appreciated. The results are as follows:
Documentation requirements (the SPPP manual) were complete except for training records. Mr
Setzer stated that videos are arriving soon and that training will be done the week of 10/21. We
discussed how to document that session plus other storniwater related training given throughout
the year. All employees are to receive stormwater and spill response training at least annually.
The handling of stormwater/process wastewater in the water recycle system appears to be
satisfactory, although two questions remain. In a 10 year, 24 hour storm (about 5.6" in this area),
will the creek rise enough to flood into the system? Are there design calculations to show that
the present water recycle configuration can control the rain from a 10 year storm? Mr. Setzer
stated that in times when overflow threatens to occur, a local pump and haul company removes
enough water to stay in compliance. The Division cannot consider this emergency pumping
approach as satisfactory design engineering. On the other hand, recent observations were
reported that a 5 to 6" rain was successfully contained. With potential storage in the 3000 and
500 gallon tanks, perhaps the present system can satisfy the permit with specific operating
procedures.

Sanford Ready Mix Concrete, October 18, 2002 p. 2
Measurements made in the last cell showed pH of 11.45, as well as a sample taken from the 500
gallon recycle tank. We bring to your attention a health note. High pH water (>10) is strongly
caustic, and is damaging to skin and eyes. Workers should use great caution in spaying down
trucks or otherwise coming in contact with this water. You might want to consider the
possibility that if used to clean up at a customer's site, this water may damage grass, as well.
On the Maple St. side of the plant various materials are stored. Runoff from that side of the plant
collects in the concrete trough along Maple St. to form a point discharge. This runoff must also
be sampled and identified on the plant site map per Part 11 Section B(1). While no active process
takes place, the runoff may still show pH and solids outside the limits.
On the location map for Part II Section A (l.)(a) please prepare a USGS-type map "zoomed in"
somewhat closer to show the facility's location in reference to transportation routes (as the
present map does) as well as where all stormwater discharges from the property. Identify the
surface receiving stream. Please send a copy of this map to the Division.
A change is also requested on the plant site map. Please designate the approximate areas being
served by each discharge point (Section A(1)(c)). Also send a copy of this map to the Division.
Please respond in writing within 30 days of receipt of this letter. If you have any comments or
questions, contact Myrl Nisely at 919-571-4700.

Dear Randy,
P.O. Box 27326, Raleigh, NC 27611
Referencing the phone conservation that you and I had March 26, 2002 about the recycling equipment
that we installed at our Sanford plant.
We installed a water filter from Pump Systems, Inc to recycle water from the wash down of our mixer
trucks. This water is being reused in the making of fresh concrete, replacing city water. We are trying to
recycle all the process water that we have in our batching process.
What we are wanting is a Tax Certification to obtain tax benefits in keeping with the General Statutes of
North Carolina.
Randy the plant is located at 320 Market Street Sanford, NC. Mike Setzer is our Division Manager
working out of that office. You can reach Mike at G(919) l776-8359.
