Builder's First Supply Concrete Plant
Permit No. NCG 140248
Wake County
Dear Mr. Medlin:
On November 16, 2004 Mr. Myrl Nisely of the Raleigh Regional Office of Division of Water Quality
met with you to perform an inspection. Your help was greatly appreciated. The plant was found to be in
compliance. Attached is a checklist of items evaluated during the visit.
This concrete plant has been dramatically downsized to only one truck and one operator who floes all
jobs, with infrequent production. You stated that no batches have been made since October.
A well written SPPP manual had all the components and was up to date on employee training,
qualitative observations and the other details.
The site showed good housekeeping, and appeared to be handling stonnwater well. All runoff goes a
small retention basin, then through a riprap channel to a pond large enough to handle the watershed volume
during normal rains so there is no discharge. Berm freeboard was estimated to be 4 — 5 feet, although an
overflow standpipe showed about I foot of freeboard. Overflow from this structure would go to the creek, but
no overflow has been observed by employees except during Hurricanes Fran and Floyd. This non -discharge
feature explains why there have been no analytical data submittals in recent years. You were instructed by Mr.
Nisely to send in a report each year stating "No Discharge" whenever that has been the case for the entire year,
so the Division knows that the permit is not being ignored. If an overflow ever does occur, (he discharge should
be sampled at that time for the tests outlined in the permit.
The drum washout pit had about 4 feet of freeboard and `clean' looking water, not the green looking
water usually observed in such a pit. It is an earthen pit, so please be aware that groundwater standards apply
and contamination needs to be avoided.
Aggregates are all neatly stored on a plateau high above the concrete plant. SW from these piles runs in
a direction that takes it to other parts of the lumber mill.
Admixture chemicals were in satisfactory secondary containment.
If you have comments or questions, please call me at 571-4700.
Sincerely,
M rl A. Nisely

RE: Storm Water Monitoring Report
Dear Mr. Schuster:
This letter is to inform you as per my conversation with Myrl A Nisely, that the
Wake Forest Plant permit number 140248 has not had enough rain as to cause any storm
water to leave our property. In my meeting with Myrl Nisely on November 16, 2004, I
was told to send a letter and take samples as soon as I could and send them in at that time.
Per his instructions, we will send the test report as soon as we have enough rain to take a
sample.
Sincerely,
Larry Medlin
Plant Manager, Concrete Division

Builders Firstsource
Wake Forest Plant
Analytical Test Results
As in previous years, no discharge has been observed from the retention pond at this plant
site. Since all storm water at the plant site is tributary to this pond, no analytical tests can
be performed on the discharge. We will continue to monitor this pond for a discharge.
Qualitative sampling will be taken from the pond.

Subject: Request for Stormwater Sampling Data
Dear Stormwater Permit Holder:
This office is presently reviewing sampling results for all ready mixed concrete plants. Since
September 2002 the Division of Water Quality (DWQ), Raleigh Regional Office (RRO) has
made inspections of 25 such sites. Your company's sites in the permit(s) noted below may or
may not have been inspected. We have obtained available stotmwater sampling records from
what could be observed in the SP3 manuals during the inspections and from the State database of
submitted analytical results. However, we want to make sure that we include sampling rounds
that may not be recorded in our database. The permit list we have on file for the sixteen -county
Raleigh Region (Person. Granville. Vance. Warren, Halifax, Northampton, Orange, Durham.
Franklin. Nash, Edgecombe, Chatham. Wake, Johnston, Wilson and Lee) is as follows (if this list
of permits needs correcting, please add or delete):
Permit NCG14024S
If you have analytical data for the 2002 calendar year that has not been submitted to the DWQ,
please mail it with a letter to Central Files as outlined in the permit, and send a copy of the data
to the Raleigh Regional Office at the letterhead address by August 22, 2003. If you have no
archived data, let us know that also. We should hear from you on each permit, one way or the
other.
Data already collected in 2003 sampling may also be submitted to Central File, but the focus is
on the year 2002. For that matter, it would be wise to also send all unsubmitted data to Central
Files, including locations in the other regions.

PART 1 INTRODUCTION
SECTION A: GENERAL PERMIT COVERAGE
All persons desiring to be covered by this General Permit must register with the Division of
Water Quality by the filing of a Notice of Intent (NOI) and applicable fees. The NOI shall be
submitted and a certificate of coverage issued prior to any discharge of stormwater associated
with industrial activity that has a point source discharge to the surface waters of the state.
Any owner or operator not wishing to be covered or limited by this General Permit may make
application for an individual NPDES permit in accordance with NPDES procedures in 15A
NCAC 2H .0100, stating the reasons supporting the request. Any application for an individual
permit should be made at least 180 days prior to commencement of discharge.
This General Permit does not cover activities or discharges covered by an individual NPDES
permit until the individual permit has expired or has been revoked. Any person conducting an
activity covered by an individual permit but which could be covered by this General Permit may
request that the individual permit be revoked and coverage under this General Permit be
provided.
Facilities submitting NOIs for coverage under this permit, prior to establishment or approval of a
Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) for a priority pollutant(s) for stormwater discharges (i.e.
wet weather flows), may be covered under this permit during its term. For such facilities
continued coverage under the reissuance of this permit is subject to the facility demonstrating
that it does not have a reasonable potential to violate applicable water quality standards for such
pollutants due to the stormwater discharge(s). For facilities that do have a reasonable potential
for violation of applicable water quality standards due to the stormwater discharge(s) the facility
shall apply for an individual permit 180 days prior to the expiration of this general permit. Once
the individual permit is issued and becomes effective the facility will no longer have coverage
under the general permit. A list of approved TMDLs for the state of North Carolina can be found
at http://h2o.enr.state.ne.us/tmdl/General TMDLs.htm
During the period beginning on the effective date of the permit and lasting until expiration, the
Permittee is authorized to discharge stormwater and/or process wastewater associated with
industrial activity as defined in this permit. Such discharges shall be controlled, limited and
monitored as specified in this permit. Although this permit requires submittal of analytical
monitoring results annually, discharges occurring throughout the year must meet the conditions
and limitations of this permit.
SECTION B: PERMITTED ACTIVITIES
Until this permit expires or is modified or revoked, the permittee is authorized to discharge
stormwater and process wastewater to the surface waters of North Carolina or separate storm
sewer system which has been adequately treated and managed in accordance with the terms and
conditions of this General Permit. All discharges shall be in accordance with the conditions of
this permit.
Part I Page 1 of 2

Permit No. NCG 140000
Any other point source discharge to surface waters of the state is prohibited unless it is an
allowable non-stormwater discharge or is covered by another permit, authorization or approval.
The discharges allowed by this General Permit shall not cause or contribute to violations of
Water Quality Standards.
This permit does not relieve the permittee from responsibility for compliance with any other
applicable federal, state, or local law, rule, standard, ordinance, order, judgment, or decree.
SECTION C: PERMIT RENEWAL
Dischargers covered by general permits need not submit new Notices of Intent or renewal
requests unless so directed by the Division. If the Division chooses not to renew a general
permit, all facilities covered under that general permit shall be notified to submit applications for
individual permits or notified to take other appropriate actions at the discretion of the Director.

PART 11 MONITORING, CONTROLS, AND LIMITATIONS FOR
PERMITTED DISCHARGES
SECTION A: STORMWATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN
The Permittee shall develop a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan, herein after referred to as
the Plan. This Plan shall be considered public information in accordance with Part III, Standard
Conditions, Section E, Paragraph 3 of this general permit. The Plan shall include, at a minimum,
the following items:
Site Plan. The site plan shall provide a description of the physical facility. The site plan
shall contain the following:
(a) A general location map (USGS quadrangle map or appropriately drafted equivalent
map), showing the facility's location in relation to transportation routes and surface
waters, the name of the receiving water(s) to which the stormwater outfall(s)
discharges, or if the discharge is to a municipal separate storm sewer system, the name
of the municipality and the ultimate receiving waters, and accurate latitude and
longitude of the point(s) of discharge.
(b) A list of the potential pollutant sources which may be expected to contribute to
contamination of stormwater discharges
(c) A narrative description of storage practices, loading and unloading activities,
outdoor process areas, dust or particulate generating or control processes, and
waste disposal practices.
(d) A site map drawn to scale with the distance legend indicating location of
industrial activities (including storage of materials, disposal areas, process areas
and loading and unloading areas), drainage structures, drainage areas for each
outfall and activities occurring in the drainage area, building locations, existing
BMPs and impervious surfaces, and the percentage of each drainage area that is
impervious. For each outfall, a narrative description of the potential pollutants
which could be expected to be present in the stormwater discharge.
(e) A list of significant spills or leaks of pollutants (see definitions) that have
occurred at the facility during the 3 previous years and any corrective actions
taken to mitigate spill impacts.
(f) Certification that the stormwater outfalls have been evaluated for the presence of
non-stormwater discharges. The certification statement will be signed in
accordance with the requirements found in Part Ill, Standard Conditions, Section
B, Paragraph 5.
2. Stormwater Management Plan. The stormwater management plan shall contain a
narrative description of the materials management practices employed which control or
minimize the exposure of significant materials to stormwater, including structural and
Part 11 Page 1 of 1 1

Permit No. NCG 140000
nonstructural measures. The stormwater management plan, at a minimum, shall
incorporate the following:
(a) Feasibility Study. A review of the technical and economic feasibility of changing
the methods of operations and/or storage practices to eliminate or reduce exposure
of materials and processes to stormwater. Wherever practical, the permittee shall
prevent exposure of all storage areas, material handling operations, and
manufacturing or fueling operations. In areas where elimination of exposure is
not practical, the stormwater management plan shall document the feasibility of
diverting the stormwater runoff away from areas of potential contamination.
(b) Secondary Containment Schedule. A schedule to provide secondary containment
for bulk storage of liquid materials, storage of Section 313 of Title 111 of the
Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA) water priority
chemicals, or storage of hazardous substances to prevent leaks and spills from
contaminating stormwater runoff. If the secondary containment devices have a
drain, the drain shall be controlled by manually activated valves or other similar
devices, which shall be secured with a locking mechanism. If there is no drain, the
containment shall be observed and pumped out as needed to maintain adequate
capacity. Any stormwater that accumulates in the containment area shall be at a
minimum visually observed for color, foam, outfall staining, and visible sheens,
prior to release of the accumulated stormwater. Accumulated stormwater shall be
released if found to be uncontaminated by the material stored within the
containment area. Records documenting the individual making the observation,
the description of the accumulated stormwater and the date and time of the release
shall be kept for a period of five years.
(c) BMP Summary. A narrative description shall be provided of Best Management
Practices (BMPs) to be considered such as, but not limited to; oil and grease
separation, debris control, vegetative filter strips, infiltration and stormwater
detention or retention, where necessary. The need for structural BMPs shall be
based on the assessment of potential of sources to contribute significant quantities
of pollutants to stormwater discharges and data collected through monitoring of
stormwater discharges.
3. Spill Prevention and Response Plan. The Spill Prevention and Response Plan (SPRP)
shall incorporate an assessment of potential pollutant sources based on a materials
inventory of the facility. Facility personnel (or team) responsible for implementing the
SPRP shall be identified. A responsible person shall be on -site at all times during facility
operations that have the potential to contaminate stormwater runoff through spills or
exposure of materials associated with the facility operations. The SPRP must be site
stormwater specific. Therefore, a SPCC plan may be a component of the SPRP, but may
not be sufficient to completely address the stormwater aspects of the SPRP. The common
elements of the SPCC with the SPRP may be incorporated by reference into the SPRP.
4. Preventative Maintenance and Good Housekeeping Program. A preventative
maintenance program shall be developed. The program shall document schedules of
inspections and maintenance activities of stormwater control systems, plant equipment
Part 11 Page 2 of 11

Permit No. NCG 140000

these areas shall be incorporated into the program.
5. Employee Training. Training schedules shall be developed and training provided for all
employees at a minimum on an annual basis on proper spill response and cleanup
procedures and preventative maintenance activities for all personnel involved in any of
the facility's operations. Facility personnel (or team) responsible for implementing the
training shall be identified.
6. Responsible Party. The Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan shall identify a specific
position(s) responsible.for the overall coordination, development, implementation, and
revision to the Plan. Responsibilities for all components of the Plan shall be documented
and position assignments provided.
Plan Amendment. The permittee shall amend the Plan whenever there is a change in
design, construction, operation, or maintenance, which has a significant effect on the
potential for the discharge of pollutants to surface waters. The Stormwater Pollution
Prevention Plan shall be reviewed and updated on an annual basis. Revision dates should

systems on at least a semiannual schedule, once in the fall (September -November) and
once during the spring (April - June). The inspection and any subsequent maintenance
activities performed shall be documented, recording date and time of inspection,'
individual(s) making the inspection, and any comments. Records of these inspections
shall be incorporated into the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan.
Stormwater discharge characteristic monitoring as required in Part II of this permit shall
be performed in addition to facility inspections.
Implementation. The permittee shall document all monitoring, measurements,
inspections and maintenance activities and training provided to employees, including the

SECTION B: ANALYTICAL MONITORING REQUIREMENTS - STORMWATER
DISCHARGE
Stormwater associated with industrial activity that is not combined with process
wastewater
During the period beginning on the effective date of the permit and lasting until
expiration, the Permittee is authorized to discharge stormwater associated with industrial
activity that is not combined with process wastewater subject to the provisions of this
permit. Analytical monitoring of stormwater discharges shall be performed as specified
below in Table 1.
For each parameter, the arithmetic mean of all analytical sampling results collected
during the term of the permit shall be calculated for each individual outfall. The
computed arithmetic mean is then compared to the cut-off concentrations listed below in
Table 2. If the arithmetic mean is less than the specified cut-off concentration for a given
parameter, then the facility is not required to continue annual analytical monitoring for
that parameter (at that outfall) during the remaining term of the permit unless a significant
change in facility operations or configuration occurs. If a cut-off concentration results in
discontinued analytical monitoring at an individual discharge outfall, the permittee is
required to maintain facility operations that ensure the continuation of stormwater runoff
quality.
The permittee must perform analytical sampling of stormwater discharges during the first
and last year of the permit coverage reeardless of cut-off concentration conditions.
Analytical results from sampling during the final year of the permit coverage must be
submitted with the permit renewal application. All analytical monitoring shall be
performed during a representative storm event.

SECTION C: ANALYTICAL MONITORING REQUIREMENTS - PROCESS
WASTEWATER
This general permit authorizes the discharge of process wastewater associated with four distinct
activities: l) Vehicle and equipment cleaning - external surfaces; 2) Overflow from recycle
systems that receive stormwater runoff; 3) Wetting of raw material stockpiles; 4) Mixing drum
cleaning. Discharge of process wastewater generated by any other activity is not authorized
under this permit. In the event that authorized process wastewaters commingle prior to
discharge, sampling the combined discharge will meet the conditions of this permit for those
separate activities, with respect to the annual sample. In the case of commingled process
wastewater, the most stringent of the applicable limits will apply.
Note: For facilities which route stormwater and all process wastewater to a recycle system,
no analytical monitoring of process wastewater discharges is required if that recycle
system discharges only as a result of a 10 year - 24 hour precipitation event.
Process Wastewater Associated with Vehicle and Equipment Cleaning
During the period beginning on the effective date of the permit and lasting until expiration, the
Permittee is authorized to discharge process wastewater associated with vehicle and equipment
cleaning subject to the provisions of this permit. For the purposes of this permit, vehicle and
equipment cleaning is limited to the rinsing of the external surfaces of vehicles and equipment.
If detergents are used, they must be biodegradable and the pH adjusted to 6 to 9 standard units.
With or without the use of detergents, wastewater released to the waters of the State must meet
the requirements of Table 5
Analytical monitoring of process wastewater associated with vehicle and equipment cleaning

the average once in ten years. Storm information can be found in the State of
North Carolina Erosion and Sediment Control Planning and Design Manual,
32. Total Flow
The flow corresponding to the time period over which the entire storm event
occurs. Total flow shall be either; (a) measured continuously, (b) calculated based
on the amount of area draining to the outfall, the amount of built -upon
(impervious) area, and the total amount of rainfall, or (c) estimated by the
measurement of flow at 20 minute intervals during the rainfall event.
33. Total Maximum Daily Load TMDLI
