The letter includes a scaled drawing of the property showing the location of the proposed construction and vender information regarding the chemical feed system. The proposed treatment system will include a series of settling ponds with pl-I adjustment associated with the last pond prior to discharge. The system being employed is common to the treatment of drum wash water at concrete batch plants. Specifically, the facilities being proposed at the Greystone plant include: • Drum Washout Basin — Drum wash water from each truck will drop in this first earthen basin, which will be approximately 50 feet by 60 feet. The washout basin will retain water generally to between 2 to 3 feet, controlled by a stone weir located at it outlet, which will also filter the water. • Settling Basins — From the drum washout settling basin, wash water will flow into a series of two earthen settling basins each approximate 15 feet wide and 40 feet long. The discharge from each fine material settling basin will be control by stone weirs also, providing additional filter capacity. The designed depth of each of these basins is 1'/z to 2 feet. • Final pH Adjustment Basin — The final earthen basin will be used for pH adjustment and will be approximately 40 feet by 50 feet. Again, the outlet of the final basin will be fitted with a stone weir to control level and provide additional filter capacity. • Fortrans Package Treatment Building — A Fortrans Model 5000 S pl-I control system has been ordered for this application. Carbon Dioxide is used to reduce the pI4 of the wash water in the final pH adjustment basin. The piping configuration will be typical for these units and will be oriented to provide mixing/recirculation of the water in the basin, which helps ensure that the final discharge will be within limits. The initial pH set point for the Fortrans system will be between 7.5 and 8.0. 2101 Gateway Centre Boulevard • Suite 200 • Morrisville.

It will be located underground so as to not interfere with truck traffic in the area around the batch plant and treatment system. The system described above is designed to reduce solids and pH in the discharge to within acceptable and permitted limits. As stated above, the Fortrans system has been ordered and delivered to the facility. The basins can be finished and the treatment system installed and operational within two weeks of the receipt of DENR's Authorization to Construct. Thank you for your attention and assistance in this matter. We are committed to remedying this particular issue, as is evident by the corrective actions Greystone has already initiated. If DWQ has any questions or concerns about our approach, please contact us at your earliest convenience. Otherwise we will proceed as described. Thank you for your attention.

Environmental, Inc. P.O. Box 40125 Raleigh, NC 27629 For: Fortrans Inc. P.O. Box 40 Wendell, NC 27591 Dated: September 11, 2003 G. C. Environmental, Inc. 5312 Pinewood Court Z Wendell, NC 27591 (919) 266-2864 September 11, 2003 p PURPOSE G.C. Environmental, Inc., was contracted to provide an engineers review and certification that the Model 5000-5 pH Monitor and Control System manufactured by Coastal Carolina Supply in Morehead City,NC, could effectively provide on a continuous basis, an average pH range of 6-9 units on the supernate layer of a stormwater/rinse water sedimentation basin typically found at Redi-mix concrete facilities. SCOPE OF WORK During the week of August 11, 2003, G.C. Environmental, Inc., witnessed the operation of the Model 5000-S self-contained pH Monitoring and Control System at a Redi-mix plant located in Durham, NC. During the two (2) day test program, measurements were made within the facilities stormwater/rinse water sedimentation basin for pH,temperature and depth(both supernate and sludge). During the first day of testing, the basin was found to be heavily loaded with solids and adjustments were made tothe solids blanket to complete testing the following day. TEST METHODOLOGY A primary sedimentation basin located at a Redi-mix concrete plant located in Durham, NC was treated utilizing the Model 5000-5 pH Monitor and Control System. During the test program, the basin was, on a semi-continuous basis, being fed rinse water from the exterior cleaning of cement trucks. Measurements for pli, temperature, supernate and sludge blankets were made within the sedimentation basin. Initial pH measurements showed pl-I levels of at least 12.0 units. The sedimentation basin was rectangular in shape with concrete walls and bottom The basin ranged in depth of 1" at the inlet to approximately Tat the deepest point. Sludge measurements within the basin showed that at least 2/3 of the basins depth was comprised of sludge and the remainder supernate. The Model 5000-5 pli Monitor and Control System was set up at the rectangular sedimentation basin with the intake and discharge hoses situated at opposite ends of the basin. Both the intake and discharge lines were set at depths within the supernate layer of the basin. A clockwise flow pattern was established once the unit began operation and pH and temperature measurements were made at several locations throughout the supernate layer of the sedimentation basin. Approximately eighteen (18) pH and temperature measurements were collected with a mean pH value of 8.56 and mean temperature values of 30.94 0C. The pH system was left to run essentially on a continuous basis over a four (4) hour period. An estimated volume existing within the sedimentation basin was 25, 000 gallons with a little over 8000 gallons consisting of relatively clear supernate. The amount of 25% Sulfuric acid (H2SO4) used to treat the sedimentation basins supernate was approximately 18-20 gallons. MODEL 5000-5 PH MONITOR AND CONTROL SYSTEM The model 5000-S pH Monitor and Control System is comprised of a Hayward Power Flow 11 (3/4 hp, 56 GPM) centrifugal pump which delivers raw water to a completely contained pH sensor connected to a pH meter equipped with control relays which operate two (2) stenner (60 GPD) acid injection pumps. The acid 25%H2SO4 is injected into the pump discharge line which empties into the sedimentation basin. Sulfuric acid is delivered to the system by 15 gallon carbuoys located outside of the fiberglass weatherproof enclosure which houses all of the aforementioned equipment. On top of the enclosed is an alarm light which is tied into the pH meter which is activated when pH levels exceed 8.5 pH units or are below 6.0 units. CONCLUSION 1. The Model 5000-5 pH Monitor and Control System is an effective system for the pH balancing of sedimentation basins which are used to collect stormwater runoff and rinse water, commonly found at Red-mix concrete plants. 2. During the test program an average pH of 8.54 units was measured in the subject sedimentation basin with a range of 7.95 to 9.34 measured. 3. Sludge levels existing within the rectangular sedimentation ranged from 6.0 inches to 2.0 feet. PH values after pH stabilization at the sludge/supernate interface were approximately 12.0 units 4. For this test program, approximately 180 mg/1 of sulfates were added to the sedimentation basin as a result of pH adjustment with 25% sulfuric acid. 5. The 5000-S pH Monitor and Control System is fully automated and provides a PH adjusted waste water which could effectively be reused within the Redi-mix concrete industry. r, ~ N I Comparative Neutralization Curves of an Industrial Effluent 2 ,0 = 6 \ a \\ —Carbon Dioxide —Sulfuric Acid a 2 0 0 100 200 300 400 500 600 700 Acid Added (mg/litre) Carbon Diobde Versus Mineral Acids.dm 3of3 `Si�•ak I•�/y- / lie Y ` VICINITY HIP �t 1 Z - - - N - - _ sea { / 8 8usieess ! { r U. s, 1 - •I 1 -- I ' 1 ir PI It er _ �.
