Wooten Readymix Concrete & Asphalt Plants Permit No. NCG140317 and NCG160155 Wake County Dear Mr. Washburn: On May 29, 2008 Mr. Myrl Nisely of the Raleigh Regional Office of Division of Water Quality made an inspection of the adjoining concrete and asphalt facilities for stormwater permit compliance. The help you provided was greatly appreciated. Both were in compliance. The inspection checklists are attached. A few observations are offered: With reference to the last inspection carried out by Ron Boone on July 23, 2007, the corrective actions he requested had been made. A) A sediment retention basin with an overflow standpipe had been erected around the exit pipe at the lowest point near the entrance road. This measure was effectively holding back the considerable volume of dirt, sand and asphalt manufacturing particles that erode from the piles and travel down the hillside. Maintenance has been done as needed to keep the device in good operation. It is recommended that a record be kept in the SP3 manual documenting when cleanout events are made for any of the basins and sediment devices. The outlet end of the overflow pipe showed no accumulation of sediment. Be reminded that water leaving must meet the permit limits, and B) the lay down area for old equipment had been cleared of items that could potentially pollute stormwater. The few remaining steel parts were on pallets. 2. Along the low end of the plant property are two additional sediment basins. Both have three baffles, and contain collected sediment. These are maintained periodically by removing sediment as needed. It is the inspector's opinion that removal should be done pretty soon, especially before large rains from hurricanes occur. Two earthen pits near the loading area are used for drum washouts on an alternating basis. Drum washings are discharged rarely, only when colored concrete batches are transported or upcoming batches must meet DOT specifications. Otherwise, Delvo and small volumes of water are used overnight in the drums, with new batches made on top of that material the next day. When a basin develops a hardened concrete slug at one end, workers begin using the second basin. The hardened concrete is removed and recycled. The second pit continues to be used until it, too, must be cleaned out, at which time workers switch to the first basin again. Both pits had about 3 feet of freeboard. 4. There exists a third pit that serves to capture the solids washed from trucks before they leave the plant site. If any of the pits described in Item 3 and 4 were to overflow, the water would enter the systems described in Items 1 and 2 before leaving the site. Effective solids removal has been achieved, but there is no intentional treatment to lower pH. The company is urged to check and document pH during a few discharge events to establish compliance or non-compliance of that parameter.

Finally, there is a perimeter ditch around the plant that directs any other runoff to the sediment basins at the low end of the facility. 6.
