Dear Mr. Sample:
This letter transmits notice of a civil penalty assessed against Carolina Sunrock, LLC in the
amount of $7,796.89 which includes $296.89 in investigative costs. Attached is a copy of the
assessment document explaining this penalty.
This action was taken under the authority vested in me by delegation provided by the Secretary
of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources and the Director of the Division of
Water Quality. Any continuing violation(s) may be the subject of a new enforcement action,
including an additional penalty.
Within thirty days of receipt of this notice, you must do one of the following three options.
These items are detailed below:
1. Submit payment of the penalty, OR
2. Submit a written request for remission, OR
3. Submit a written request for an administrative hearing.
Option 1 — Submit payment of the penalty:
Payment should be made to the order of the Department of Environment and Natural
Resources (DENR). Payment of the penalty will not foreclose further enforcement action
for any continuing or new violation(s). Do not include the attached waiver form if
making payment. Please send payment to the attention of:

Option 2 — Submit a written request for remission including a detailed justification for
such request
A request for remission or mitigation is limited to consideration of the reasonableness of
the amount of the penalty and is not the proper procedure for contesting the accuracy of
any of the statements contained in the assessment letter.
Because a remission request forecloses the option of an administrative hearing, such a
request will not be processed without a waiver of your right to an administrative hearing
and a stipulation that there are no factual or legal issues in dispute. You must execute
and return to this office the attached "Waiver of Right to an Administrative Hearing and
Stipulation of Facts" and the attached "Justification for Remission Request" which
should describe why you believe:
(a) one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in G.S. 14313-282.1(b) were
wrongfully applied to the detriment of the petitioner;
(b) the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from the
violation;
(c) the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident;
(d) the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations;
(e) payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary
remedial actions.
Please submit this information to the attention of:
Ms. Karen Higgins
NC Division of Water Quality —NPS Assistance & Compliance Oversight Unit
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617
Option 3 — Submit a written request for an administrative hearing:
If you wish to contest any portion of the civil penalty assessment, you must request an
administrative hearing. This request must be in the form of a written petition to the
Office of Administrative Hearings and must conform to Chapter 150B of the North
Carolina General Statutes. You must file your original petition with the:
Office of Administrative Hearings
6714 Mail Service Center

In response to your above referenced NOV, Carolina Sunrock LLC had begun the modification process for
this site with the request for a Special Use Permit from the Town of Wake Forest in September 2004. This
modification is to include the construction of a hot mix asphalt plant and the reconfiguration of the existing
ready mix site to include the construction of a much needed weir system that would virtually eliminate the
potential discharge of high pH water. We have completed the modification request for the NPDES Permit
including the request for an authorization to construct the weir system and have submitted it to the
appropriate office, a copy is attached for your review. The house keeping issue has been addressed and the
55 gallon drums have been removed. The existing SPPP is being updated to include the items noted in the
NOV and should be completed by the middle of February, and sample bottles have been ordered to facilitate
the discharge monitoring. We have requested the NTC as soon as possible so we can begin the installation
of the weir.
Please contact me if additional information is required or this schedule does not meet with your approval.

Please find attached a request to modify the above referenced permit We are adding a hot mix asphalt plant to the
site and are requested an Authorization to Construct (ATC) a weir system that should eliminate the potential
problem of discharging high pH storm water from this site. We have been in the process of modifying this site since
requesting a special use permit from the Town of Wake Forest in September 2004. The location of the discharge
point for storm water discharge at this site will not change.
Please note that we have been served with a Notice of Violation on this site in part for having a high pH discharge.
This weir system should all but eliminate this potential in the future, and we would like to install it as soon as
possible. We understand that we must wait for the ATC prior to starting construction of this structure. Any help or
expediting this authorization would be greatly appreciated.

Certificate of Coverage-NCG140328
Carolina Sunrock, LLC-North Raleigh
Wake County
Dear Mr. Kopec:
The December 22nd, 2005 tour that you provided to Myrl Nisely and Ron Boone during our annual
inspection of your north Raleigh concrete facility located at 5043 Unicon Drive in Wake Forest was
greatly appreciated. This inspection was conducted to determine Carolina Sunrock LLC's compliance
with its general stormwater permit NCG140000 and certificate of coverage (COC) NCG140328. This
permit, issued 31 July 2004 by authority of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1, is intended to
prevent pollution of state waters that receive stormwater and/or process wastewater discharges from
your facility. It is noted that your facility produces both stormwater associated with industrial activities
as well as process wastewaters associated with vehicle and equipment cleaning, raw material stockpiles,
and mixing drum cleanout.
SITE SUMMARY
NOTE: Please refer to the attached site map. Note that this map is somewhat out of date
and labels have been provided in the estimated locations of items not actually
shown on the map. Pertinent pictures are also included fo'r easy reference at the
end of this letter.
All stormwater and process wastewaters commingle and flow in a southerly/southeasterly direction
across the site's main impervious surface. A drainage ditch that parallels both the eastern and
southern edges of the impervious surface, collects all such flows and conveys them to a pond,
hereinafter referred to as Pl. P1 is located approximately 50 to 75 yards south of the impervious
surface. Water that enters the eastern ditch flows into the southern ditch and then into P1. Please
note that it was confirmed during a follow-up site visit conducted on 01/03/2006 with Mr. Tony
Sample, of Carolina Sunrock LLC, that P1 does in fact discharge to a tributary of the Neuse River.

• For the purposes of this letter, the total stormwater and process wastewater flow produced at your
site are divided up and defined as follows:
• A portion of the total flow, hereinafter referred to as waste stream #1, or WS 1, flows
southwesterly, across the western edge of the impervious surface, into a large unimproved area,
approximately one acre in size, located at the southwest corner of the site. This area is currently
being used for waste concrete crushing operations. WS 1 ultimately flows through the northern-
most portion of the unimproved area, into the drainage ditch, and then into PL
• A second portion of the flow, hereinafter referred to as waste stream #2, or WS2, flows
southerly across the impervious surface, to a holding basin located near the middle of the
southern edge of the impervious surface. Holding basin effluent then flows in one of two
directions, depending on basin loading, as follows:
• The majority of effluent collects into the drainage ditch and then flows into P 1.
• During the inspection however, a considerable amount of water overflowed the basin at the
front and flowed southeasterly, across the southern edge of the impervious surface. These
waters then spilled over the southern edge of the impervious surface and into the drainage
ditch.
• The third and final portion of the flow, hereinafter referred to as waste stream #3, or WS3, flows
southeast across the impervious surface, and spills into the drainage ditch on the eastern edge or
at the southeast comer of the impervious surface.
• The discharge ofPI could not be located during the initial inspection. However, it was found
and inspected during the follow-up visit with Mr. Sample on O1/03/2006.
• There is a second pond on site, hereinafter referred to as P2, that is located within the one acre
unimproved area at the southwestern corner of the site, approximately 25 to 30 yards west of P1.
This pond collects and stores stormwater and any process wastewaters produced in the
unimproved area. Mr. Sample also confirmed during the 01/03/2006 follow-up visit, that P2
does overflow into P1.
INSPECTION FINDINGS
The list below shows numerous conditions and practices observed during the tour portion of the
inspection.
• A concrete crushing machine is installed at approximately the center of the one acre unimproved
area at the southwest corner of the impervious surface. This entire area is severely eroded, wet, and
muddy. The crushing process produces a considerable amount of concrete dust that settles on the
ground surrounding the crusher. Additionally, return concrete, drum washes and other wastes are
dumped at the entrance to this area and personnel and vehicular traffic then spread the wastes
throughout the area. These wastes are then exposed to any stormwater that falls on the area. The
area slopes toward the southeast and stormwater runoff from this area flows into P 1 and P2. This
runoff most likely carries with it a significant amount of soil, concrete dust, and return concrete.
NOTE: You mentioned during the inspection that Carolina Sunrock LLC plans to
pave this entire area. The purpose of paving the area is unknown, however please note
the requirement to submit to the Division of Water Quality, Stormwater Permits Unit,
engineering plans for any site stormwater or wastewater improvement, or any other
physical change that could impact your ability to meet permit requirements, and/or
require amendment of your permit to address such changes.
• The holding basin that receives WS2 is intended to settle solids before the water is discharged into
P 1. Although the capacity of the holding basin is unknown, conditions at the time of the inspection
made it obvious that the unit is severely undersized and has minimal, if any, positive treatment
value. The basin overflowed at the front and spilled onto the impervious surface as mentioned

arolina Sunrock, LLC, Compliance Evaluation Inspection, December 22, 2005, NCG140328 Page 3 of
above. Basin effluent was actually more turbid than the influent, begging the'question of when the
unit was last cleaned out. The basin needs significant repair. The upper walls of the holding basin
are constructed with large concrete blocks. The concrete blocks are severely misaligned and either
no sealant was installed between the blocks at the time of construction or that which was installed is
no longer effective. Consequently, water also seeps heavily through the seams between the
concrete blocks. The basin therefore has no well-defined discharge point. It is completely
overwhelmed by the influent flow and water exits the basin at several different locations and flows
away in at least two different directions, also as mentioned above.
• PI was mostly frozen over during the inspection. However, visual observation revealed a highly
turbid water and breakage of the thin ice layer to facilitate a pH measurement, caused a large
amount of settled solids to become suspended. This is indicative of large amounts of solids being
deposited in P1. Additionally, the pH of P1 was measured at 11.9 standard units. There are no
mechanisms installed to reduce the high solids content or pH of P 1, so it is assumed that any water
body receiving Pl effluent is also subjected to these high pH and solids levels.
• During the tour one of your drivers dumped a drum wash on the road on the eastern side of the raw
material stockpiles. This wash water was then observed flowing toward the eastern drainage ditch.
This practice demonstrates gross mismanagement of drum washes and can contribute significantly
to the pollution of receiving water bodies. Drum washes should be dumped into a correctly sized
cell or holding basin where the majority of solids can be settled and high pH can be attenuated
before the wastewater is discharged.
• Two additional items of concern noted during the follow-up site visit were:
• There is a storage area on the eastern side of the site where equipment and waste materials are
stored. The area in itself is not the concern but rather the storage practices that were observed.
Several 55-gallon drums were placed in the area. Some of these drums were empty but others
appeared to hold some type of material, one of which was labeled as oil. This particular drum
had been pinched between a large concrete block and another drum. Whatever is in this drum,
and any others in the area, seems very susceptible to being spilled. Additionally, there was one
darkened spot on the ground that indicated oil, or something similar to it, had been previously
spilled and not properly cleaned up. The general housekeeping of this storage area was poor.
• There was a diesel spill near the truck filling point. The amount of the spill, though it appeared
to be small, was unknown and apparently had not been reported.
As noted earlier, the discharge ofPI was identified and inspected during the follow-up site visit.
Although the water seemed oddly clear for being the discharge of P 1, the bottom of the stream was
covered with a heavy layer of solids similar in nature to those observed in P 1. Also, the pH was
measured at 10.6 standard units approximately 50 feet downstream of the end of the discharge pipe,
well above the acceptable range of 6.0 to 9.0 standard units.
The list below shows numerous conditions observed during the interview portion of the inspection.
Please refer to your permit for further explanation and compliance details as needed.
• The stormwater pollution prevention plan (SPPP) was grossly inadequate as follows:
• No site plan with the following:
A description of the physical facility (Part 11, Section A, Paragraph 1).
A USGS general location map showing the facility's location in relation to surrounding
transportation routes and surface waters, names of receiving waters to which site stormwater
is conveyed, or if discharge is to a separate municipal storm sewer system, then the name of
the municipality and the ultimate receiving waters, and an accurate latitude/longitude of the
point(s) of discharge (Part II, Section A, Paragraph 1 a).

Carolina Sunrock, LLC, Compliance Evaluation Inspection, December 22, 2005, NCG140329 PagF 4 of 6
• A narrative description of storage practices, loading/unloading activities, outdoor process
areas, dust/particulate generating or control processes, and waste disposal practices (Part II,
Section A, Paragraph lc).
• A site map drawn to scale with the location of all buildings, industrial activities, and
impervious surfaces. Note that the percent of impervious surface must be specified. The
site map must show all drainage structures and areas for each outfall with the activities
occurring in each area specified. There must also be a narrative description of pollutants
that could be present in stormwater at each outfall (Part II, Section A, Paragraph Id).
• A list of pollutant spills or leaks that have occurred in the last three years and any corrective
actions taken. Note that if no such spills have occurred, a signed certification specifying this
is required (Part R, Section A, Paragraph 1 e).
• A certification that all stormwater outfalls have been tested for the presence of non-
stormwater discharges. This statement must be signed according to the requirements found
in Part III, Standard Conditions, Section B, Paragraph 5 (Part II, Section A, Paragraph 10.
• No stormwater management plan with the following:
• A narrative description of materials management practices employed, structural and non-
structural, to control or minimize introduction of such materials to stormwater (Part II,
Section A, Paragraph 2).
• A feasibility study reviewing the technical and economic feasibility of changing operations
and/or storage practices to eliminate or reduce introduction of materials and processes to
stormwater. In areas where such elimination/reduction is impractical, this plan shall
document the feasibility of diverting stormwater runoff from areas of potential
contamination (Part II, Section A, Paragraph 2a).
• A schedule to provide secondary containment for any chemicals used on site, to prevent
leaks and spills of such chemicals from contaminating stormwater runoff. These
containment devices must then be managed according to specific instructions and detailed
records must be kept to record their operation (Part It, Section A, Paragraph 2b).
• A summary of BMPs that will be considered in the future as necessary. Structural BMPs
will be considered based on an assessment of the potential for site pollutants to taint future
stormwater discharges and on data collected through analytical testing of the site's
stormwater discharges (Part II, Section A, Paragraph 2c).
A spill prevention and response plan (SPRP) that incorporates an assessment of potential
pollutant sources based on a materials inventory of the site. This plan must identify in writing
those personnel responsible for developing, implementing, and maintaining the spill prevention
and response plan and the list must be kept current at all times. Additionally, one of the
personnel responsible for this program must be on site at all times while the facility is in
operation. Your facility did have a SPRP, however it did not meet all requirements (Part II,
Section A, Paragraph 3).
A preventative maintenance and good housekeeping program that documents schedules of
inspections and maintenance activities of stormwater control systems and plant equipment and
systems. This program shall also include regular cleaning schedules of material handling areas
(Part II, Section A, Paragraph 4).
An employee -training program that includes training schedules and documentation. All
employees involved in any of the facility's operations must be trained in proper spill response,
spill cleanup, and preventative maintenance activities at least annually. Facility personnel
responsible for managing this program must also be identified and this list must be kept up to
date at all times. It is noted that you did have record of some training. However, the records did
not account for all time periods since permit issuance and record keeping was somewhat
disorganized (Part II, Section A, Paragraph 5).

Carolina Sunrock, LLC, Compliance Evaluation Inspection, December 22, 2005, NCG 140328 Page 5 of 6
• An identification of the position(s) responsible for the development, implementation, and
management of the SPPP. If different SPPP components are divided up amongst more than one
position, each position will be separately identified with their assigned responsibilities (Part 11,
Section A, Paragraph 6).
• An amendments section that documents an annual review of the entire SPPP to ensure it still
meets all requirements and that there have been no changes to the site or site operations that
would render any component of the SPPP ineffective. Please note that any SPPP pages that are
changed during annual reviews must include the revision date (Part D, Section A, Paragraph 7).
• A facility inspection program that documents semi-annual inspection of all BMPs and
stormwater systems in the fall (September -November) and the spring (April -June). All
inspections and required maintenance activities resulting from such inspections must be
thoroughly documented and incorporated into the SPPP (Part II, Section A, Paragraph 8).
• Documentation of all monitoring, measurements, inspections, maintenance activities, employee
training, sampling and analysis activities (including a sampling data log), and structural and
non-structural BMP implementation activities. All such records will be kept on -site for five
years (Part ll, Section A, Paragraph 9).
Finally, neither qualitative monitoring results nor laboratory analytical data could be presented for
inspection. There is no record of qualitative monitoring and you did not have the annual discharge
monitoring reports (DMR), required by your permit, on file and readily available. Further
investigation confirmed that no DMRs are on file with the NCDENR Raleigh Regional Office
(RRO), Central Files Office, or the Stormwater Permits Unit. This leads us to believe that neither
the qualitative monitoring nor laboratory analysis required by your permit has been accomplished.
Mr. Sample did provide Mr. Boone with a copy of a Certificate of Analysis (COA) for a sample that
was taken in 2003. However, he still could not provide any data that covers the period between
permit issuance and the present.
In general, many of these conditions demonstrate a significant mismanagement of your stormwater and
process wastewaters. The most serious findings, the ones for which we're considering assessing a civil
penalty, are as follows:
Lack of an effective SPPP that meets all requirements as stated in your permit.
Lack of qualitative and quantitative discharge monitoring.
pH levels well above permit limitations being discharged into state waters.
Your permit is issued and enforced under authority of The Clean Water Act. The Clean Water Act
provides that any person who violates section 301, 302, 306, 307, 308, 318 or 405 of the Act, or any
permit condition or limitation implementing any such sections in a permit issued under section 402, or
any requirement imposed in a pretreatment program approved under sections 402(a)(3) or 402(b)(8) of
the Act, is subject to a civil penalty not to exceed $27,500 per day for each violation. Seventeen
months have passed since issuance of your discharge permit, yielding sufficient time for you to comply
with all requirements.

Land Development Plan
General Goals and Policies
Broad Goals
• Development should be compatible with the natural environment including the
topography, soils, flood plains and wooded area.
• Wake Forest should continue to be primarily a residential community. However,
commercial and industrial development should be encouraged to broaden the economic
base, to provide employment and to ensure adequate provision of goods and services to
the growing population.

i 1
SU-04-03
Page 2
General Development Policies
• Growth outside the town limits, but within the planning area, should not be discouraged if
services can be provided efficiently and economically and if the development will fill a
need and be a benefit to the Town.
Industrial Areas
Goals
• Develop industrial investment as a tax base for the Town and a source of employment
and stability for the local economy.
• Maintain compatibility of industry with the residential character of the Town.
• Preserve suitable land for future industrial use within the urban services area as an
investment for the Town.
• To actively seek ways and means of encouraging clean industrial development.
Policies
• Designate on the land use plan areas for industrial use, taking into consideration the
following factors:
o major highway or thoroughfare access for all sites.
o rail access for some sites.
o water and sewer service.
o level land or gentle slopes.
o separate from or may be buffered from existing residential areas.
Control type of industry and actual site development and operation to prevent undesirable
effects such as noise, traffic, appearance, odors, smoke, and other pollutants. Require
impact statements from the EPA.
Land Use Management Plan
Land Planning Resources: None.
Conceptual Objectives Plan
Highway Corridor:
• Concentrate non-residential development along US-1. Give preference to industrial and
office park development.
Implementation: Highway Corridor
The encouragement of Class A industrial sites within this district should also be
considered as an alternative to unrestrained commercial development.
Zoning History: The property was zoned to 1, Industrial District in 1988 as a result of
an ETJ extension. A Special Use Permit for an asphalt plant, concrete plant and stone
distribution center was denied in 1995. A Special Use Permit was subsequently issued in
1996 for a concrete plant and stone distribution center subject to conditions related to
subdivision, federal, state and local permits, an undisturbed vegetative buffer surrounding the
site and a sprinkler system for on -site dust control. The conditions of SU-96-5 remain in
effect.

SU-04-03
Page 3
Applicable Regulations: Zoning Ordinance: Article V, District Regulations, Section 27,
I, Industrial District, Article VIII. Special Uses.
Zoning Ordinance Section 27. I -Industrial District
The 1-Industrial District is established as a district in which the
principle use of the land is for industry and those uses which can be
operated in a relatively clean and quiet manner and which are
conducive to industrial development while not being a nuisance to
adjacent residential or commercial district.
B. Special Uses
Any use is permitted in this district provided a special use permit has
been issued. Uses which are seen as suitable for the proposed site and
which will benefit the Town economically are encouraged to locate
within Wake Forest. Conflicting land uses are discouraged but if the
proposed use is seen as following the guidelines of the Land
Development Plan, and thorough findings offact has been provided, and
sufficiency safeguards are provided, consideration will be given to the
use. These uses shall in no way be detrimental to public health, safety,
and welfare and shall cause little environmental disruption.
The location ofsaid industry shall not impose an undue burden on any
utilities, facilities or services of the Town.
C. Prohibited Uses
Any use or trade which, though properly and safely operated with
ordinary care, according to good and reasonable practice, causes
noxious or offensive odors, gas, fumes, smoke, dust or vibration of noise
which substantially interferes with other user of property permitted in
the district.
SPECIAL INFORMATION
Public Utilities: Municipal water and sewer service is available on site. The developer will
construct all necessary water and sewer lines and facilities. ,
Public Services: The property is located in the Wake Forest Extraterritorial Jurisdiction.
Municipal services will be provided upon annexation.
Transportation: The property has access on Unicon Drive, connecting to One World Way
off of Burlington Mills RD. Vehicles per day: five trucks per hour on
average based on operations at the RDU Plant and the plant in Durham.

SU-04-03

Physical Characteristics:
The site contains the activity associated with the concrete plant with tree cover and
vegetation west of the developed area. The land slopes away from the concrete plant with
a shallow draw extending from the southeast corner of the site northwest toward the CSX
Rail ROW. Appling Series and Wilkes soils with slopes from 2-10%, affected by storage
of recyclable concrete materials and site development.
Asphalt Plant Data:
Uses such as an asphalt plant are allowed by Special Use Permit in the Industrial District.
The proposed asphalt facility would add an asphalt plant, a baghouse (environmental control
device), three 200 ton silos for short term storage of mixed asphalt and a storage tank for the
asphalt cement.
The proposed asphalt facility is being designed as a "Batch Plant" with storage silos to
increase the plant production. A "Batch Plant" mixes and distributes asphalt directly to job sites.
The NCDENR Air Permit Application includes data indicating the maximum capacity is up to
four tons per batch, 80 batches per hour or 100,000 batches per year. A standard truck holds four
to five batches.
The asphalt supply is estimated to be approximately 70% for public use and 30% for
private use (which includes subdivision roads that would ultimately become public streets.)
Site Equipment to be Added:
Asphalt Facility 1
Pulse Jet Baghouse 1
200 Ton Hot Mix Asphalt Silo 3
Asphalt Cement Storage Tank 1
ANALYSIS
In order to grant a special -use permit, required findings of fact as contained in Article
VIII., Section 2. of the Zoning Ordinance must be made. Staff offers the following findings of
fact based on the submitted application and development plan for consideration:
Finding 1: The proposed use or development is located, designed, and proposed to be
operated so as not to be detrimental to the public health, safety, and general
welfare, in that the proposed plant will be located in an industrial area of similar
uses and will be operated in a manner that is not detrimental to the public health,
safety and general welfare in conformance with all appropriate federal and state
guidelines.

abutting property, in that the proposed plant is to be located in an industrial area
adjacent to similar uses and railroad rights -of -way, and the proposed plant shall
obtain all Federal, State and Local permits required for operation.
Finding 4: The proposed use will not cause undue traffic congestion or create a traffic
hazard, in that the proposed plant is located in an area with access to US 1 via
Burlington Mills RD, where the existing road network is adequate to support the
traffic impacts with approximately five trucks per hour entering and exiting the
site and where the site is conveniently located for asphalt delivery.
Finding 5: The proposed use will not create undue noise, dust, and gasses, in that
emission control systems shall trap and remove fine sand and dust particles, the
EPA has deleted asphalt plants from its list of major sources of hazardous air
pollutants, and the proposed plant shall obtain all federal, state and local
operational permits and continually adhere to those requirements.

Memo to File: @ Site visit to Ready Mixed Concrete Plant # 31 Permit #_
NCG 140216 and Carolina Sunrock Permit # NCG 140328
I visited the above sites on Monday May 3, 2004 to observe site during a rain event and
after a significant rainfall.
I met Ray Goodwin, acting Plant Manager, at Ready Mixed Concrete Plant # 31 at 09:25
AM and reviewed his stormwater plan. I then took photographs of the site facing north
toward the truck loading area, the southern end of property with trucks and area where
excess concrete is dropped from vehicles as parked, the collection tanks and flooded area
near the drain collection tanks at the SW corner of property.
No stormwater was discharging from the site. It is collected and used in the mixing of
concrete at the site. The tanks collect all stormwater that is then used on site. Even after
rains the weekend before no discharge was evident at time of inspection.
I did not sample the stormwater, but it appears to be contained on the site during at least
normal rainfall events. It rained steady for two days prior to visit.
While touring the RMC site, 1 observed a silt pond behind their property that belonged to
Carolina Sunrock located on the hill above the RMC facility.
I took photos of the silt pond and area below the pond. The water observed was cloudy
from TSS in the discharge. The runoff from CS drains into the pond and then discharges
to the area below the pond. There was no discharge at the time of inspection, but the
cloudy conditions in the wet area below pond indicated that discharge had occurred
during the weekend.
I met with Tim Kopec at Carolina Sunrock at 10:00 AM and reviewed CS Stormwater
plan and permit. I took photos of their admix tank area which does not discharge, but is
pumped when needed by Noble Oil Recovery. I took photos of truck cleaning in the area
and the drainage area looking from the plant down the hill to the pond area. Mr. Kopec
stated that CS plans to install a "weir" (catch basin) arrangement similar to RMC in the
near future.
Tony Samples of CS has requested that we meet him at their RDU facility to observe the
changes made at that location.

Dear i\is. Lau;
Please find attached, the required application fees and Notices of Intent for Stormwater General
Permits for two sites that my company owns and operated. It has just recently come to my
attention that these sites do not have proper permit coverage. We do have SPPP Plans on site,
have completed spill related training and have done a race job of monitoring and controlling
sormwater. The Muirbead Distribution Center (Iv1)C) site has both a concrete and an asphalt
plant and a stone sales distribution yard. I assume that since all of the run-off Eom these areas
are commingled, and we have only one discharge poiut, that only one permit would be issued for
this site. I completed both the 140000 and the 160000 Notice for this site just in case my
as were wrong.
I apologize for the late submittals for these sites, but hope the applications will provide the
needed information to receive coverage at this time.
Please contact me at (919) 575 - 4502 if additional information is required.
