Ross, Jr., Secretary Nonh Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources Subject: Compliance Evaluation Inspection Powell's Ready Mix Concrete NPDES Stormwater Permit NCG 140322 Halifax County Dear Mr. Powell: Coleen H. Sullins, Director Division of Water Quality I conducted the Stormwater compliance evaluation inspection on July 08, 2008. Your cooperation and assistance with this inspection was appreciated. Please find attached with this letter the Basin Wide Information Management System (BIMS) checklist. Below is a list of findings and recommendations developed from the inspection. 1. The current permit was reissued 08/01/2004 and expires 07/31/2009. Please request permit renewal no later than 180 days prior to permit expiration to avoid enforcement action. 2. Fuel and admixture tanks have secondary containment. The facility does not have a wash out basin for concrete truck washings. Left over concrete is formed into blocks or septic tank molds. Wash water left over in the mixer is added as make up water to the next batch of concrete. In the event that wash water is not used for make up water, the water is discharged on the gravel parking lot. The drainage area for the facility is 84,000 square feet with 30% impervious. It appears that the discharged water would soak into the ground before reaching any drainage ditch. 3. Stormwater Discharge Outfall (SDO) 001 is located near the intersection of NC Highway 48 and Rhea -Smith Road (NC State Road 1433). Samples are taken in the drainage ditch next to the conduit that is under Rhea - Smith Road. There was no discharge at the time of inspection. 4. The Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) was reviewed. The SPPP is well written and meet all requirements and contained all necessary components. The plan is review annually. Recommendations for site improvements are made but do not get implemented immediately. Annual training of employees on emergency clean up is not documented. Above Ground Storage Tanks in the secondary containment area need to be labeled. James D. Frei performs qualitative and analytical monitoring. All Chain of Custodies sheets were property filled out. A review of the analytical monitoring indicated Total Suspended Solids (TSS) above the cut-off concentration for TSS. Please review your Best Management Practices (BMPs) to lower TSS values during sampling. Silt fencing may help in preventing excess runoff of sediment. I thank you for your time and assistance with this inspection. If you have any questions about this letter or the inspection, please call me at 919.791.4261.

Powell III Powell'sReady Mix Concrete, Inc. 3296 Highway 48 P.O. Box 395 Roanoke Rapids, NC 27870 Dear Mr. Powell: February 20, 2003 Subject: Stormwater Site Inspection Powell's Ready Mix Concrete; Inc. ,Hwy 48 South Halifax County On January 21, 2003 Mr. Myrl Nisely of the Raleigh Regional Office of Division of Water Quality met with you to become familiar with your readymix concrete facility and to offer assistance in establishing a stormwater program that will conform to General Permit No. 140000. Your assistance was greatly appreciated. The permit being established is Permit No. 140332. The following observations were made: 1. This plant site is a compact fenced area with an office building, a truck loading station, a vehicle maintenance building, sand and aggregate storage, a large fuel oil tank farm with containment, a parking area for trucks behind the office and several forms around the perimeter for casting septic tanks and other concrete structures. Admixture storage tanks stand behind the office building. 2. The topography slopes mostly toward the corner at SR1433 and Hwy 48, except for the truck parking which drains toward SR1433. Runoff travels through a vegetated Swale to Hwy 48, through a culvert under SR1433, then another culvert under Hwy 48 and through a swale to join with a church parking lot drain, ultimately to Little Quankey Creek. 3. There is no secondary containment for the admixture tanks. Please construct secondary containment as described in 40CFR 264.175 and/or any other applicable Federal, State or local requirements, with enough volume available to hold the contents of the largest single tank plus water from a 25-year, 24- hour storm event (7" of rain). You indicated that construction could be done by March 31, weather allowing. The stormwater program calls for a visual observation to be made and recorded on a checklist before each release of water from the containment area. 4. Unused concrete is not dumped onto the ground, nor are the drums washed except for exceptionally long periods of inactivity. Chemicals are added to the drums overnight so the unused material can be incorporated into new concrete the next day. You stated that this can be done even over a three day weekend. The occasional (rare) washes are discharged wherever the truck is in the yard. For the most part, this site can be expected to avoid high pH discharges usually associated with readymix plants. However, thought should be given to specifying a definite location for drum washouts, probably one where the flow (potentially carried by rainwater) can travel out the secondary gate to the swale where it will have a maximum distance to travel before entering the conduit under SR1433.

Housekeeping in the process area was acceptable, although the fenceline contained metal items, tires and miscellaneous debris. Housekeeping inspections will be part of the stormwater program, as well. 6. Vehicle maintenance is done in part of the building facing Hwy 48. All work is done inside. An old oil pit exists in the building but is covered and not used. Spills are cleaned up with Dri-Rite and the floor is not washed down. Waste oil is burned in a space heater. It appears that no discharge occurs from this shop. 7. The site map submitted with your permit application is inadequate. Be sure the one prepared for the SPPP is a layout of the plant site, showing buildings, storage areas and other details requested in the permit. You went through the permit section by section with Mr. Nisely to understand how to put together a SPPP manual and how to implement the program. You may find it helpful to go onto Internet site http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/su/stormwater.html where guidance manuals may be found for developing your SPPP manual. Click on Manuals, Factsheets. Once the manual is developed, send to the Raleigh Regional Office copies of the site map (Part II(A)(1)(c)), the narrative description of storage practices et al (Part H(A)(1)(b)) and the BMP summary (Part II(A)(2)(b)). Please submit certification to the Division by March 31, 2003 that the admixture secondary containment has been installed. Once this program is established, any future additions or changes in the stormwater system must be done via an Authorization to Construct permit from the State.

Easley, Governor William G. Ross Jr. Secretary Division of Water Quality October 8, 2002 RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED Ms. Terry Kasper, Secretary Powell's Ready -Mix Concrete P.O. Box 395 Roanoke Rapids, NC 27870 Subject: Notice of Violation F4CDENR. NORTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENT AND NATURAL RESOURCE:) Notice_ofRecommendation_for Enforcement Operating Without a Stormwater Permit Halifax County Dear Ms. Kasper: It has come to the attention of the North Carolina Division of Water Quality that Powell's Ready -Mix has not obtained a Stormwater Permit for the site at on Highway 48S in Roanoke Rapids. The National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) program was established under the federal Clean Water Act (1972) and then delegated to the Division of Water Quality for implementation in North Carolina. The NPDES Phase I permitting program for stormwater discharges was established in 1990. Phase] focused on site and operations planning to reduce pollutant sources. One of the industries that Phasel regulates through NPDES permits is Ready Mix Concrete production, SIC Code 3273. A General Permit (No. NCG14000) became effective August 1, 1994. This permit was renewed and somewhat revised in 1999. In that version, a two year grace period was established to allow sites time to comply with the permit requirements. The discharge of stormwater from a Ready Mix site to waters of the State without a permit is a violation of NCGS 143-215.1(a)(1). This office is considering recommending to the Director of the Division of Water Quality that civil penalties be assessed against your company for these violations. NCGS 143-215.6 provides that violations of 143-215.1 may incur civil penalties up to $25,000 per violation per day. Any response submitted to this office within 10 days of receipt of this letter will be considered when making the recommendation. 1628 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC 27699-1628 Telephone (919)571-4700 FAX (919)571-4718 An Equal Opportunity Affirmative Action Employer 50% recycled/10% post -consumer paper Enclosed is an application form, also called a Notice of Intent.

PART IV - EVALUATION RECOMMENDATIONS AND OTHER COMMENT (Important — please give a narrative summary) Powell's Ready Mix has not previously applied for a stormwater permit. A visit was made to obtain site information and to offer technical assistance to Allie Powell III, Owner, regarding how to establish a stormwater management plan. This compact location slopes mostly toward the comer at SR1433 and Hwy 48, except for truck parking which drains toward SR1433. Runoff travels through a vegetated swale to Hwy 48, through a culvert under SR 1433, then another culvert under Hwy 48 and through a swale to join with a church parking lot drain, ultimately to Little Quankey Creek. See diagram below. More than likely only one sample point will be selected, at the comer of 48 and SR 1433. Vehicle maintenance is done onsite in a building for that purpose. There are no drains inside the building. The floor is swept, and Dri-Rite absorbent is placed on oil spills. No monitoring related to these activities will be needed. 1' w Unused concrete is not dumped onto the ground, nor are the drums washed except for exceptionally long periods of inactivity. Chemicals are added to the drums overnight so the unused material can be incorporated into new concrete the next day. This can be done even over a three-day weekend. The occasional (rare) washes are discharged wherever the truck is in the yard. For the most part, this site can be expected to avoid high pH discharges usually associated with readymix plants. However, thought should be given to specifying a definite location for drum washouts, probably one where the flow (potentially carried by rainwater) can travel out the secondary gate to the Swale where it will have a maximum distance to travel before enterine the conduit under SR1433. The only major problem observed was a lack of secondary containment for the admixture chemicals. Need for this ASAP was emphasized. A date of March 31 was agreed upon, weather permitting. Housekeeping in the process area was acceptable, although the fenceline contained metal items, tires and miscellaneous debris. The site appeared less junky from the inside than from a first impression taken from driving around the outside. Mr. Powell and I went through the permit rather quickly section by section to discuss how to put together a SPPP manual and how to implement the program. He seemed cooperative, but may need help actually setting up his program. Please see also the attached CEI inspection report for this production facility. LIM to Little Quankey Creek 61, Signature of report preparer A Date Michael F. Easley, Governor William G. Ross Jr., Secretary North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources January 24, 2003 - Mr. Allie M. Powell III Powell's Ready Mix Concrete, Inc. 3296 Highway 48 P.O. Box 395 Roanoke Rapids, NC 27870 Subject :Stormwater Site Inspe pp�� Stormwater Permit N 0332 Powell's Ready Mix Concrete, Inc. Hwy 48 South Halifax County Dear Mr. Powell: Alan W. Klimek, P.E. Director Division of Water Quality On January 21, 20031Mr. Myrl Nisely of the Raleigh Regional Office of Division of Water Quality met with you to become familiar with your readymix concrete facility to offer assistance in establishing a stormwater program that will conform to General Permit No0000. Your assistance was greatly appreciated. The following observations were made: 1. This plant site is a compact fenced area with an office building, a truck loading station, a vehicle maintenance building, sand and aggregate storage, a large fuel oil tank farm with containment, a parking area for trucks behind the office and several forms around the perimeter for casting septic tanks and other concrete structures. Admixture storage tanks stand behind the office building. 2. The topography slopes mostly toward the corner at SR1433 and Hwy 48, except for the truck parking which drains toward SR1433. Runoff travels through a vegetated Swale to Hwy 48, through a culvert under SR1433, then another culvert under Hwy 48 and through a Swale to join with a church parking lot drain, ultimately to Little Quankey Creek. 3. There is no secondary containment for the admixture tanks. Please construct containment walls with enough volume available to hold the contents of the largest chemical vat. Install a drain with a valve. The valve is to be kept locked or have the handle removed, so that only authorized personnel can drain the containment basin. You indicated that construction could be done by March 31, weather allowing. The stormwater program calls for a visual observation to be made and recorded on a checklist before each release of water from the containment area. 4. Unused concrete is not dumped onto the ground, nor are the drums washed except for exceptionally long periods of inactivity. Chemicals are added to the drums overnight so the unused material can be incorporated into new concrete the next day. This can be done even over a three-day weekend. The occasional (rare) washes are discharged wherever the truck is in the yard. For the most part, this site can be expected to avoid high pH discharges usually associated with readymix plants. However, thought should be given to specifying a definite location for drum washouts, probably one where the flow (potentially carried by rainwater) can travel out the secondary gate to the Swale where it will have a maximum distance to travel before entering the conduit under SR1433.

Housekeeping in the process area was acceptable, although the fenceline contained metal items, tires and miscellaneous debris. Housekeeping inspections will be part of the stormwater program, as well. 6. Vehicle maintenance is done in part of the building facing Hwy 48. All work is done inside. An old oil pit exists in the building but is covered and not used. Spills are cleaned up with Dri-Rite and the floor is not washed down. Waste oil is burned in a space heater. It appears that no discharge occurs from this shop. 7. The site map submitted with your permit application is inadequate. Be sure the one prepared for the SPPP is a layout of the plant site, showing buildings, storage areas and other details requested in the permit. You went through the permit section by section with Mr. Nisely to understand how to put together a SPPP manual and how to implement the program. You may find it helpful to go onto Internet site http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/su/stormwater.html where guidance manuals may be found for developing your SPPP manual. Click on Manuals, Factsheets. Whether or not you actually receive the stormwater permit by March 31, 2003, please submit certification to the Division by that date that the admixture secondary containment has been installed, with a drain and locked valve. Once a site map has been created, please submit a copy to the Raleigh Regional Office. If you have further questions or comments, please contact Myrl Nisely at 919-571-4700. cc: NPDES Compliance Unit Halifax Co. Health Dept. Central Files Sincerely, Kenneth Schuster, P.E.
