Subject: Rescission of NPDES Stormwater Permit
Certificate of Coverage Number NCG020548
Anson County
The Division of Energy, Mineral and Land Resources received your request to rescind your
coverage under Certificate of Coverage Number NCG020548. In accordance with your request,
Certificate of Coverage Number NCG020548 is rescinded effective immediately.
Operating a treatment facility, discharging wastewater or discharging specific types of
stormwater to waters of the State without valid coverage under an NPDES permit is against
federal and state laws and could result in fines. If something changes and your facility would
again require stormwater or wastewater discharge permit coverage, you should notify this office
immediately. We will be happy to assist you in assuring the proper permit coverage.
If the facility is in the process of being sold, you will be performing a public service if you would
inform the new or prospective owners of their potential need for NPDES permit coverage.
If you have questions about this matter, please contact us at 919-707L9200, or the Stormwater
staff in our Fayetteville Regional Office, [phone].

Dear Mr. McKeown:

TRACY DAVIS
Du,ecmr
On April 14, 2016, a site inspection was conducted for the Hanson Brick — Howell Mines facility located off
White Store Road in Anson County, North Carolina. A copy of the Compliance Inspection Report is enclosed
for your review. Mr. David McKeown, Regional Environmental Manager and John Williford, Production
Supervisor, were also present during the inspection and their time and assistance is greatly appreciated. The
site visit and file review revealed that the subject facility is covered by NPDES General Permit NCG020000
under Certificate of Coverage NCG020548. Permit coverage authorizes the discharge of stormwater and/or
process wastewater from the facility to receiving waters designated as an unnamed tributary to Goulds Fork,
a Class C waters in the Yadkin -Pee Dee River Basin.
As a result of the inspection, the facility was found to not be in compliance with the conditions of the
NCG020000 permit. Please refer to the enclosed Compliance Inspection Report for additional comments and
observations made during the inspection.
Please be advised that violations of the NPDES General Permit are subject to a civil penalty
assessment of up to $25,000 per day for each violation. If you or your staff has any questions,
comments, or needs assistance with understanding any aspect of your permit, please contact me at (910)

Inspection Summary:
On April 14, 2016, Melissa Joyner and Tim La Bounty met with John Williford, Production Supervisor and Dave McKeown,
Region Environmental Manager of Howell Mines #1 and #2. The mines have been inactive over several years (since 2009)
and were recently reactivated with the utilization of a stockpile. The Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) was
reviewed. The most recent SPPP was developed in 2013. The SPPP needs to be annually updated, including a list of
significant spills over the last 3 years, employee training and certification that the outfalls have been evaluated for the
presence of non-stormwater discharges. Please refer to General Permit NCG020000 for the additional required information.
The site map also needs to be modified to include the information stipulated in the General Permit. It appears that the
active stock pile is shown in an incorrect location on the site map. All Best Management Practices (BMP's)have not been
regulary inspected and will need to be inspected once per week. This information will need to be documented as well as
any related repairs of the BMP's. Qualitative and Analytical Monitoring has not been conducted at the site and will need to
be initiated semi-annually for stormwater and quarterly for wastewater. If there is no discharge from the outfalls, this needs
to be documented on the two Discharge Monitoring Forms which cover any stormwater discharges as well as any
mine/dewatering wastewater discharges.
The outfalls for Basins #16 and #17 were observed in the field with no issues noted. The remaining outfalls shown on the
Mine Map are not developed yet and will be installed in the future.

RE: Hanson Brick — Howell Mines
NPDES General Permit COC No. NCG020548
Inability to Collect Stormwater Samples for 1s` 6-Month Period 2010
Dear Manager:
Hanson Brick is notifying the Department that we were unable to collect stormwater samples at
one of two land disturbance outfalls at the Howell Mine: SDO-17. This site is located about 35
miles east of the Monroe Brick facility which utilizes clay from the Howell Mine. There are no
employees located at the Howell Mine except when mining contractors re -build the stockpile
once or twice a year. There has been no activity at this site in years due to the current market
for brick. During the first 6-month period-2010, there were instances when there were no
discharges, and there may have been some instances when there were discharges, but
sampling personnel were working at another Hanson site. There were rain events occurring on
Saturdays which makes it extremely difficult to meet the 48-hour holding times for Setteable
Solids and Turbidity. Also, warm weather storms are often accompanied by lightning, and it's
too dangerous to collect samples.
When the new NCG020000 was recently issued, Hanson revised the SWPP Plans and thought
its present sampling program would be adequate enough to collect the samples at all its
locations. As it became apparent that we were having trouble sampling a discharge, the rain
events started to decrease further, and there was little time to utilize consultants. Hanson
regrets it was not able to collect samples at Outfall SDO-17 and realizes there are
consequences stated in the first footnote under Section B, Table 1 of the permit: "triggers
monthly monitoring".
Do to the sudden issuance of the newly implemented NCG020000 General Permit, we request
the Department allow Hanson the opportunity to successfully sample once during the current,
2no 6-month period, 2010. Hanson has implemented the necessary changes to meet the
monitoring requirements stated in the permit.
Should you have any questions or need additional information, please call me: [phone].

In response to your renewal application for continued coverage under general permit NCG020000 the Division of Water
Quality (DWQ) is forwarding herewith the reissued stormwater general permit. Please review the new permit to familiarize
yourself with the changes in the reissued permit. The general permit authorizes discharges of stormwater and some types of
wastewater. You must meet the provisions of the permit for the types of discharges present at your facility. This permit is
reissued pursuant to the requirements of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and the Memorandum of Agreement
between the state of North Carolina and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, dated December 6, 1983.
The following information is included with your permit package:
• A new Certificate of Coverage
• A copy of General Stormwater Permit NCG020000
• A copy of a Technical Bulletin for the general permit
• Five copies of Discharge Monitoring Report (DMR) Forms - wastewater and stormwater
• Five copies of Qualitative Monitoring Report Form
Your coverage under this general permit is not transferable except after notice to DWQ. The Division may require modification
