Subject: NPDES Stormwater Compliance Evaluation Inspection
Certificate of Coverage No. NCG160082
Lane (Garner)
Wake County, North Carolina
Dear Mr. Byrd:
Staff from the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) conducted a stormwater inspection on June
20, 2016, as part of a multimedia inspection of your facility. The assistance provided by Mr. Greg Davis
and Mt. Jamie Backus, during the inspection was greatly appreciated. The inspection report is attached.
Findings during the inspection were as follows:
1. Certificate of Coverage (COC) No. NCG160082 under NPDES General Permit NCG160000
was issued to Lane (Garner) to discharge stormwater runoff to White Oak Creek (Austin
Pond), a Class.C, NSW stream, in the Neuse River Basin.
2. The facility has developed and implemented a stormwater pollution prevention plan (SPPP)..
A review of the plan indicated that it included all components required by the general permit.
Semi-annual qualitative and analytical monitoring has been conducted at two stormwater
discharge outfalls (SDOs), as required by the General Permit. However, some reports were
missing and two exceedences were reported that were not followed by response actions,
which are considered violations of permit conditions in your general permit. A Notice
of Violation has been sent to you separately.
4. Both SDOs were observed and found accessible.
5. No separate wastewater discharges were observed.

Inspection Summary: .
On June 20, 2016, 1 (Gary Perlmutter, DAQ-RRO) visited Lane (Garner) for a multimedia inspection. There I met with Mr.
Jamie Backus, Plant Supervisor, and Mr. Greg Davis, Environmental Coordinator. We first rewiewed permit stipulations and
required records for complaince with General Stormwater Permit No. NCG160082, dated September 30, 2014, The SPPP
was found to be dated 2014, to which Mr. Davis indicated that he is currently reviewing it as one of his tasks as the
Company's new Environmental Coordinator. The SPPP was fairly well organized, however some Qualitative and Analytical
reports were found missing. Facility personnel contacted the analytical laboratory for the missing reports, of which they
were e-mailed one report for samples collected in July 2015. Reports for the second half of 2012 and the first half of 2014
were still unaccounted for. The analytical report for sampling in December 2014 showed an exceedence of 109 TSS, and
that for samples collected in December 2013 showed an exceedence of 329 mg/L TSS. Neither exceedence was followed
up with TIER ONE investigation. Mr. Backus and Mr. Davis noted that moving forward they will plan to sample for the
current Monitoring Period ending June 30, 2016, as rain is expected on Friday, June 24, 2016. During the tour all tanks
were observed with secondary containment walls, in which Mr. Backus indicated are empited via pump (no valves or
open-ended pipes were observed). Both outfall pipes were observed, and they appeared well maintained for easy sampling
access.

(H) FACILITY DESCRIPTION: LANE produces hot -mix asphalt. The LANE (Gamer) Plant is a parallel flow, drum -type Hot
Mix Asphalt (HMA) plant. When operational, the plant typically has 3 employees on site and operates 40 hours/week. The
facility started in 1985 and began production in 1989. The plant makes various mixes, dependent on the job requirements.
Base mixes and binder mixes are produced, although several types of surface mixes constitute 60-65% of their operations.
Aggregate mixes will vary, although a typical mix would be 25% stone, 33% regular screening, and 42% washed screening.
The plant does re -introduce the particles caught in the baghouse back into the mix.
Safety notes: Standard PPE (steel toe shoes, hard hat, safety glasses) is required plus a reflective safety vest.
(IH) INSPECTION SUMMARY: On June 20, 2016, I (Gary Perlmutter), inspected the Lane asphalt facility in Garner as part of
a multimedia inspection. I met with Mr. Jamie Backus who is the foreman of the site and Mr. Greg Davis, the company's new
Environmental Coordinator. We reviewed the permit conditions and required records — all seemed in order. We then toured
the facility, where all equipment was seen running with only steam emissions observed from atop the asphalt silos; Overall,
the facility appeared well nun from an air quality standpoint — further details follow.

• March 1, 2012 — the asphalt plant was tested by Methods 5 and 9 for NSPS Subpart I compliance. Yuki Purham
observed the test. Results of 0% opacity average VE demonstrated compliance.
• June 26, 2008 — the asphalt plant was tested by Method 9 for NSPS Subpart I, for the use of No. 4 recycled fuel oil.
Matt Mahler observed the test. Results of 2.5% opacity average VE demonstrated compliance.
The current permit does not have a testing requirement.
(X) COMPLIANCE HISTORY: A review of DAQ files revealed the following permit violations by the facility:
• October 18, 2011 — an NOV was issued for a late report.
• June 30, 2010 - an NOV was issued for failure to maintain the facility (B.6) and for failure to maintain production

Re: Response to Notice of Violation (NOV-2004-PC0025) issued to Rea
Contracting, LLC's Garner Road Asphalt Facility regarding its
Stormwater General Permit NCG160082
Dear Mr. Schuster:
On May 12, 2004, Rea Contracting, LLC ("Rea Contracting") received a Notice of
Violation (NOV-2004-PC0025) ("NOV") for its Garner Road Asphalt Facility (`Rea
Contracting" or "Gamer Road Facility" or "Facility") regarding its Stormwater General Permit -
NCG160082. I currently serve as the "Responsible Party" for the Garner Road Facility's
Stormwater General Permit (`General Permit") and as requested, respond below to the alleged
violations specified in the NOV.
As a preliminary matter, we note that the NOV (and accompanying Inspection Checklist)
correctly indicate that our records of employee training are complete. However, the NOV also
states that the Facility's Stomiwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) does not contain a
description of employee training conducted at the Garner Road Facility. Upon review of the
General Permit, we are not aware of any requirement that the SPPP contain a description of
employee training. Furthermore, documents on site and present at the time of the inspection
contained information regarding the scope and content of our employee training. Accordingly,
we do not consider the reference within the NOV to a description of employee training to be a
violation. We appreciate, however, your recommendation to include a description of our
employee training in our SPPP and are currently working on preparing a description and
including it in our SPPP. We anticipate that the description may include the following:
I
From the inception of its Stormwater General Permit, Rea Contracting has
annually trained its employees on its Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan,
proper spill response and cleanup procedures, as well as preventative maintenance
activities to minimize and prevent stormwater pollution. Our employees are
trained in stormwater pollution prevention during their initial orientation. At
orientation, each employee receives specific instructions on housekeeping,
maintenance and spill response techniques relative to stormwater pollution
prevention. Employees also receive detailed instructions on how to conduct and
document the Facility's Qualitative and Analytical Monitoring. In addition, every
six months, each employee receives retraining on stormwater pollution
prevention. Finally, a copy of our SPPP, which specifically addresses stormwater
discharges at our Facility, as well as how to conduct Qualitative and Analytical
Monitoring, is located in the Plant Supervisor's office at all times.
Please let us know whether you have comments regarding the above description so that
we may expeditiously address your recommendation. Nonetheless, I have outlined and
responded to each of the alleged violations detailed with the NOV below:
1. Alleged Violation 1: No evidence that any analytical sampling had occurred as
required by permit, and no documentary evidence that the analytical portion of the
SPPP was implemented as required in the permit.
We are currently in the process of ensuring that Analytical Monitoring occurs on an
annual basis at our Facility and that records are generated and maintained regarding such
monitoring in compliance with our General Permit.
Specifically, we are currently taking the necessary steps to ensure that adequate sampling
and records of our Analytical Monitoring are maintained at the Facility. We have appointed our
Plant Supervisor the responsibility of both performing the sampling and adequately recording the
results. We have also directed the Area Manager to conduct a quarterly inspection of all SPPP
records, and I will perform annual inspections to ensure that both the Plant Supervisor and the
Area Manager are generating and maintaining adequate records of our Analytical Monitoring.
11. Alleged Violation 2: No record of semiannual inspections as required by the permit.
At the time of the inspection, we were unable to produce records reflecting the Facility's
Qualitative Monitoring. Nonetheless, our employees, having been trained in our SPPP,
periodically inspected our two stormwater outfall locations for the visual factors listed within the
General Permit. In addition, both of these outfall locations are in close proximity to the Facility
so any visual pollution would have also been readily apparent to employees at the Facility when
they were not undertaking their periodic inspections. Finally, our employees are instructed under
the SPPP training to inform me if any stormwater pollution is apparent at our outfalls. None of
our employees have reported any visual signs of pollution (sheens, sediment, foam, etc.) at either
of our stormwater outfall locations.
However, we are currently taking the necessary steps to ensure that adequate records of
all Qualitative Monitoring are maintained at the Facility. We have appointed our Plant
Supervisor the responsibility of performing the testing and adequately recording the results. As
an additional "back-up," we have directed the Area Manager to conduct a quarterly inspection of
these records. Finally, I will perform annual inspections to ensure that both the Plant Supervisor
and the Area Manager are keeping adequate records of our Qualitative Monitoring.
III. Alleged Violation 3: Monitoring is not being performed and compliance is not
known without these results as required by the permit.
We recognize that necessary Analytical Monitoring has not been conducted as required at
the Gamer Road Facility. We also recognize that adequate records of our Qualitative Monitoring
have not been maintained at the Facility. However, we have recently conducted Analytical and
Qualitative Monitoring at the Facility and are attaching our reports for your convenience. As you
can see, the discharge in stormwater outfall #1 is well below the 100 mg/I requirement for Total
Suspended Solids. The Qualitative Monitoring of stormwater outfall #1 yielded results
consistent with low or minimal stormwater pollution. We are currently in the process of
inspecting and testing stormwater outfall #2 and should be in possession of those records in the
near future.
IV. Enforcement
Rea Contracting believes that given its strong compliance history, its efforts to create and
maintain a complete SPPP and its actions in response to the deficiencies noted above, no civil
penalty should be assessed in this case. Nevertheless, should this matter be recommended for
enforcement, N.C. Gen. Stat. § 14313-282.1(b) provides that DENR must consider several factors
in determining whether to assess a civil penalty and if so, the amount of such penalty.
Accordingly, Rea Contracting respectfully requests that DENR consider the following factors in
making its determination.
• the degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State, to the
public health, or to private property resulting from the violation
Our failure to maintain adequate records has not resulted in any harm to the natural
resources of the State, to the public health, or to private property. In addition, although we failed
to conduct Analytical Monitoring, our current Analytical Monitoring results of stormwater outfall
#1 yielded a TSS quantity of 44 mg/l, an amount well below the 100 mg/1 limit. We also point
out, as recognized by the Inspection Report, that the Facility's stormwater discharges to two farm
ponds and that any rare overflow from these ponds discharges to a quarry area —not a surface
water of the State. These ponds would permit TSS to settle out of the stormwater and would also
provide for dilution of any other stormwater constituents. Therefore, there is no evidence that any
violation on our part resulted in harm to the natural resources of the State, to the public health, or
to private property.
• duration and gravity of the violations and the effect on ground or surface
water quantity or quality
The alleged violations addressed in the NOV have not caused harm to people, natural
resources or private property. Furthermore, these alleged violations have not affected ground or
surface water quality or quantity. There is no evidence that the alleged violations resulted in a
stormwater discharge above and beyond 100 mg/l for TSS. Instead, our current data (44mg/1)
indicates that we are well below this standard, and because we have maintained the same
processes and standards from the inception of our permit, there is no evidence we have ever
discharged above the TSS standard. Furthermore, as recognized by the Inspection Report, the
Facility's stormwater discharges to two ponds and these ponds rarely overflow/discharge. (In the
event of an overflow, the discharge is directed to a quarry area rather than the surface waters of
the State). As you are aware, the farm ponds settle the TSS out of the stormwater and also
provide for dilution of any other stormwater constituents. Finally, we have immediately
addressed all alleged violations set forth in the NOV. Therefore, the duration and gravity of the
alleged violations is slight (particularly in light of the fact that the alleged violations substantially
address problems with our records) and have had no effect on the surrounding ground or surface
water quantity or quality.
• the cost of rectifying the damage
Since no damage has resulted from our alleged violations, the State would not be required
to expend any money on Rea Contracting's behalf to remedy any of the alleged violations.
• the amount of money saved by noncompliance
Rea Contracting has saved a negligible amount of money ($10 per TSS sampling test per
year) by its noncompliance. Instead, any alleged violations were the result of not having
"checks" in place to ensure that certain necessary documentation occurred and was maintained.
These "checks" do not require additional employees at the Facility and as such do not represent
cost savings resulting from noncompliance.
• the prior record of the violator in complying or failing to comply with
programs over which the Environmental Management Commission has
regulatory authority
Rea Contracting has a strong compliance history and has never been assessed a penalty
for violations of its stormwater general permit. Rea Contracting has "gone the extra mile" in
ensuring that all of its employees are trained in its SPPP by offering orientation training,
retraining every six months and maintaining a copy of the SPPP at all times for employee
reference.
In light of the foregoing factors as well as our responses to each alleged violation, Rea
Contracting respectfully requests that DENR reconsider its issuance of the Notice of Violation
and Notice of Initiation of Enforcement. We have a strong history of compliance with our
stormwater General Permit and are committed to following our SPPP. Moreover, at our Facility,
we immediately addressed all alleged violations set forth in the NOV. Therefore, we request that
DENR's Division of Water Quality reconsider the Notice of Violation and Initiation of
Enforcement it issued to Rea Contracting's Garner Road Facility.
Thank you for your time and attention to this matter. If you have any questions or
comments, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Sincerely,
Gene Mills

Subject: Notice of Violation, NOV-2004-PCO025
Notice of Initiation of Enforcement
Rea Contracting, LLC
Garner Road Asphalt Facility
Stormwater General Permit NCG160082
Wake County
Dear Mr. Mills:
On March 31, 2004 Mr. Jerry Rimmer of the Raleigh Regional Office, Division of Water
Quality conducted an inspection of the subject site for compliance with conditions contained in
the General NPDES Permit NCG160082; Stormwater Discharge Permit for Asphalt Paving
Mixtures and Blocks.
Findings during the inspection are noted in the attached inspection checklist and herein as
follows:
General Stormwater Permit NCG160066-condition violations
Part II. Section A requires the permittee to develop a Stormwater Pollution Prevention
Plan. The site plan present at the site was adequate to meet permit requirements. The
Secondary Containment devices are secured with locking mechanism. The oil drums storage
area containment was covered. The current plan was adequate in narrative description of storage
practices, loading and unloading activities and Best Management Practice Summary also. The
facility has installed a silt fence around the property to insure control of silt in stormwater
discharge.
The Spill Prevention and Response Plan did contain current inventory and the Responsible Party
List was correct.
There was no description of employee training, although records of training were present.
Part II Section B requires analytical monitoring annually per Table 1 unless arithmetic
mean of results is below levels specified in Table 2. There was no evidence that any analytical
sampling had occurred; therefore, this facility has not complied with this requirement.
Sampling must be implemented.

Rea Contracting -Garner
Part II Section C requires semiannual Qualitative Monitoring per Table 3 that is a visual
inspection at each stormwater outfall. Per the site stormwater pollution prevention plan the
facility is required to inspect all stormwater systems on at least semiannual schedule, once in the
fall (September -November) and once in the spring (April -June). There was no record of
inspections.
There was no documentary evidence that the analytical portion of the Stormwater
Pollution Prevention Plan was implemented as required in the permit.
This was to commence with the initial analytical event, but was not continued per the permit
requirements.
Part II Section D requires analytical monitoring per Table 4 if vehicle maintenance is done
utilizing 55 gallons of oil per month. This facility does not have a major vehicle maintenance
program on site; therefore this provision does not apply.
Part 3 Section C requires the permittee to properly operate and maintain all facilities to
achieve compliance with all conditions of the permit. The monitoring is not being
performed and compliance is not known without these results.
Please submit a written response to these violations within 20 days of receipt of this
notification. You need to respond with plans to address each described item with immediate
implementation of corrective action to begin compliance with the General Permit as issued.
Your response will be reviewed by this office and forwarded for consideration in any
enforcement action taken. Please note that these and any other violations are subject to civil
penalties in the amount of $ 5,000 per day per violation for oil discharge Statutes and up to
$25,000 per day per violation for other violations.
If you have any questions concerning this notification please contact Jerry Rimmer of my
staff at 919-571-4700-extension 273.
