(t) DIRECTIONS: From Raleigh take I-440 Outer loop south towards Route 1 South. Continue on Route 1 South to Route 64
West towards Pittsboro. After crossing over the lake, take Exit 386 and follow Hwy 64 West Business into Pittsboro. Just before
Hardee's fast food restaurant, make a left onto Small Street (this left occurs just before the circle in the middle of Pittsboro).
Continue approximately two blocks and make a right onto East Chatham Street_ Chandler Concrete is located at the corner of
Small and East Chatham Street.
(II) FACILITY DESCRIPTION: The facility is a truck mix concrete batch plant with a maximum capacity of 120 cubic yards per
hour. There are three silos for cement and/or flyash, a cement batcher, and areas of bulk sand and gravel storage along the
perimeter of the yard.
Standard safety equipment for a cement plant visit is recommended; hard hat, safety glasses, safety vest, and steel toed shoes.
(III) INSPECTION SUMMARY: On July 16, 2015, I (Lori Ann Phillips) inspected Chandler Concrete's Pittsboro
plant as part of a multi -media pilot program inspection that also included a stormwater program inspection.
I arrived at the plant at approximately 10:10 AM and met with Ken Waegerle, EHS Manager, Brian Teague,
Production Manager, and Warren Cotton, Plant Manager. When I arrived on site, a cement truck had just -been loaded
and a puff of dust lasting approximately 15-20 seconds was observed from either the baghouse or the weight batcher. I
was standing on the opposite side of the plant and was unable to determine from where the dust originated. The dust
cloud moved off the property towards the trees along a public greenway to the west of the plant. The opacity of this dust
cloud could not be determined due to short duration and lack of an appropriate background/observer's location.
In April of this year, the facility was inspected by David Miller and some baghouse issues were noted at that time.
According to Mr. Waegerle, the facility has undergone some maintenance to ensure compliance with their air permit
and keep dusting to a minimum. The facility was currently working on a software change to slow the speed of the
weigh batcher gate, which should greatly reduce anydust released at the end of a batch.
We sat down and reviewed the newly issued air permit and the facility's records for their baghouse. The company
inspects the baghouse on a weekly basis. They check the floor, the seal, the structure, the bags, and they make daily
visual inspections. The records are kept in a notebook and appeared to be in good order.
At the time of my inspection, the facility appeared to be well maintained from an air quality standpoint.

Dear Mr. Waegerle:
Lori Ann Phillips from the Department of Environmental and Natural Resources conducted a
stormwater inspection on July 16, 2015, as part of a multimedia inspection of your facility. Your
assistance during the inspection was greatly appreciated. The inspection report is attached. Findings
during the inspection were as follows:
Certificate of Coverage (COC) No. NCG140086 under NPDES general permit NCG140000
was issued to Chandler Concrete / Piedmont Inc. — Pittsboro I I I to discharge stormwater
runoff and process wastewater to an unnamed tributary of Robeson Creek.
2. A review of the facility's Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) indicated that it
included all of the components required by the general permit. However, the following
items were noted:
• The plan has not been updated since August 17, 2011. The permit requires that the
plan be updated at least annually.
• The detailed site map of the facility has not been updated since 2002. Current
conditions at the site were not accurately reflected in the detailed site map provided.
3. Qualitative and analytical monitoring have not been conducted for the past couple years at
the only stormwater discharge outfall (SDO). The facility has indicated that "no flow"
conditions have existed as the reason for not conducting monitoring as required by the
permit. There were no discharge present at the outfall during the inspection. A rain gauge

was being properly maintained at the facility. Significant freeboard was available in the
stormwater pond.
4. There were some low areas along the block wall on the western side of the property
where stormwater might be leaving the property by filtering through the wall to the
public greenway in the adjacent property rather than flowing across the subject
property to the stormwater pond. It is suggested that these low areas be filled in and
properly graded to allow for stormwater containment within the property.
5. The only SDO was observed during the inspection and was found maintained and accessible.
6. There was a small leak from the pump at the lower pond that allowed for some surface
water flow towards the property boundary. This comingled process and stormwater
was leaving the property under a fence into an adjoining neighbor's yard. It is
suggested that this leak be corrected to prevent any process water from leaving the
subject property.
Please respond in writing regarding Items 2, 4, and 6 within 60 days of receipt of this letter. If you
have any questions regarding the attached report or any of the findings, please contact Lori Ann Phillips
at 919-791-4200 (or email: lori.phillips a ncdenngov).

Inspection Date: 07/16/2015 Inspection Type: Compliance Evaluation Reason for Visit: Routine
Inspection Summary:
On July 16, 2015, a multi -media pilot program inspection was conducted by Lori Ann Phillips (DAQ) to evaluate compliance
with the NPDES stormwater and Air Quality permits issued to the facility.
The stormwater pollution prevention plan (SPPP) was reviewed and found to contain all components necessary for
compliance. The facility was reminded to keep this doucment updated annually, as the last documented update was from
August of 2011. Stormwater releases from the secondary containment areas were being documented.
Analytical and qualitative monitoring have not been conducted in the past couple years due to recorded no Flow discharges
at the facility's only outfall. The last analytical sample was collected in May of 2013. The location of the outfall is such that
it would take a large storm event to cause a discharge over the gravel perimeter of the pond. The facility has recently
installed additional sediment settling chambers and maintains significant freeboard in their ponds.
The facility uses a sprinkler system to wet sand and aggregates. At the time of the inspection, some low areas along the
block wall that surrounds the western side of the facilty were noted. It was suggested that these areas be bermed up a bit
to redirect stormwater from filtering through the block to the greenway trail in the ajoining property to the facility's
stormwater pond. A pump from the detention pond was leaking some water that appeared to be making its way off the
property at the south end of the pond. This was pointed out to facility personnel so that the leak could be remedied.
Overall, the facilty appeared to be clean and managed in such a way to meet the overall intent of the stormwater permit.
Air quality inspection results are included under separate report.

Comment: The facility has one outfall that rarely produces dischange. Process water and stormwater
comingle at this site. A rain quage is present. Some low spots along the perimeter wall were
noted and it was suggested that these areas be filled in to make sure that all stormwater from
the aggregate storage areas continues to flow to the sedimentation ponds. Additionally, the
recirculation pump from the pond was leaking water that was making its way off site under a
fence to the aioining neighbors yard. It was suggested that this leak be repaired and the facility
make sure that all process water stays on site. pH control is used at this facility: however, the
controller was not viewable due to a swarm of hornets.

(11) FACILITY DESCRIPTION: The facility is a truck mix concrete batch plant with a maximum capacity of 120 cubic yards per
hour. There are three silos for cement and/or flyash, a cement batcher, and areas of bulk sand and gravel storage along the
perimeter of the yard.
Standard safety equipment for a cement plant visit is recommended; hard hat, safety glasses, safety vest, and steel toed shoes.
(III) INSPECTION SUMMARY: On July 16, 2015, I (Lori Ann Phillips) inspected Chandler Concrete's Pittsboro
plant as part of a multi -media pilot program inspection that also included a stormwater program inspection.
I arrived at the plant at approximately. 10: 10 AM and met with Ken Waegerle, EHS Manager, Brian Teague,
Production Manager, and Warren Cotton, Plant Manager. When I arrived on site, a cement truck had just been loaded
and a puff of dust lasting approximately 15-20 seconds was observed from either the baghouse or the weight batcher. I
was standing on the opposite side of the plant and was unable to determine from where the dust originated. The dust
cloud moved off the property towards the trees along a public greenway to the west of the plant. The opacity of this dust
cloud could not be determined due to short duration and lack of an appropriate background/observer's location.
In April of this year, the facility was inspected by David Miller and some baghouse issues were noted at that time.
According to Mr. Waegerle, the facility has undergone some maintenance to ensure compliance with their air permit
and keep dusting to a minimum. The facility was currently working on a software change to slow the speed of the
weigh batcher gate, which should greatly reduce anoust released at the end of a batch.
We sat down and reviewed the newly issued air permit and the facility's records for their baghouse. The company
inspects the baghouse on a weekly, basis. They check the floor, the seal, the structure, the bags, and they make daily
visual inspections. The records are kept in a notebook and appeared to be in good order.
At the time of my inspection, the facility appeared to be well maintained from an air quality standpoint.

Dear Mr. Waegerle:
Lori Ann Phillips from the Department of Environmental and Natural Resources conducted a
stormwater inspection on July 16, 2015, as part of a multimedia inspection of your facility. Your
assistance during the inspection was greatly appreciated. The inspection report is attached. Findings
during the inspection were as follows:
Certificate of Coverage (COC) No. NCG140086 under NPDES general permit NCG140000
was issued to Chandler Concrete / Piedmont Inc. — Pittsboro I I I to discharge stormwater
runoff and process wastewater to an unnamed tributary of Robeson Creek.
2. A review of the facility's Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) indicated that it
included all of the components required by the general permit. However, the following
items were noted:
• The plan has not been updated since August 17, 2011. The permit requires that the
plan be updated at least annually.
• The detailed site map of the facility has not been updated since 2002. Current
conditions at the site were not accurately reflected in the detailed site map provided.
3. Qualitative and analytical monitoring have not been conducted for the past couple years at
the only stormwater discharge outfall (SDO). The facility has indicated that "no flow"
conditions have existed as the reason for not conducting monitoring as required by the
permit. There were no discharge present at the outfall during the inspection. A rain gauge

was being properly maintained at the facility. Significant freeboard was available in the
stormwater pond.
4. There were some low areas along the block wall on the western side of the property
where stormwater might be leaving the property by filtering through the wall to the
public greenway in the adjacent property rather than flowing across the subject
property to the stormwater pond. It is suggested that these low areas be filled in and
properly graded to allow for stormwater containment within the property.
5. The only SDO was observed during the inspection and was found maintained and accessible.
6. There was a small leak from the pump at the lower pond that allowed for some surface
water flow towards the property boundary. This comingled process and stormwater
was leaving the property under a fence into an adjoining neighbor's yard. It is
suggested that this leak be corrected to prevent any process water from leaving the
subject property.

Inspection Summary:
On July 16, 2015, a multi -media pilot program inspection was conducted by Lori Ann Phillips (DAQ) to evaluate compliance
with the NPDES stormwater and Air Quality permits issued to the facility.
The stormwater pollution prevention plan (SPPP) was reviewed and found to contain all components necessary for
compliance. The facility was reminded to keep this doucment updated annually, as the last documented update was from
August of 2011. Stormwater releases from the secondary containment areas were being documented.
Analytical and qualitative monitoring have not been conducted in the past couple years due to recorded no Flow discharges
at the facility's only outfall. The last analytical sample was collected in May of 2013. The location of the outfall is such that
it would take a large storm event to cause a discharge over the gravel perimeter of the pond. The facility has recently
installed additional sediment settling chambers and maintains significant freeboard in their ponds.
The facility uses a sprinkler system to wet sand and aggregates. At the time of the inspection, some low areas along the
block wall that surrounds the western side of the facilty were noted. It was suggested that these areas be bermed up a bit
to redirect stormwater from filtering through the block to the greenway trail in the ajoining property to the facility's
stormwater pond. A pump from the detention pond was leaking some water that appeared to be making its way off the
property at the south end of the pond. This was pointed out to facility personnel so that the leak could be remedied.
Overall, the facilty appeared to be clean and managed in such a way to meet the overall intent of the stormwater permit.
Air quality inspection results are included under separate report.

Comment: The facility has one outfall that rarely produces dischange. Process water and stormwater
comingle at this site. A rain quage is present. Some low soots along the perimeter wall were
noted and it was suggested that these areas be filled in to make sure that all stormwater from
the aggregate storage areas continues to flow to the sedimentation Ponds. Additionally, the
recirculation pump from the pond was leaking water that was making its way off site under a
fence to the aioining neighbor's yard. It was suggested that this leak be repaired and the facility
make sure that all process water stays on site. PH control is used at this facility' however, the
controller was not viewable due to a swarm of hornets.

This is in response of your letter on April 22, 2008 and the inspection by Ms.
Stehanie Brixey and Ms. Autumn Hoban on April 18, 2008. The items you listed as non-
compliance I offer the following response:
• Item 2 — There is ongoing training at this plant that exceeds the permit
requirements. There was a failure to properly document this training. Any
training will be documented from this time forth.
• Item 3 —The qualitative monitoring was not filled for the fall of 2007 due to the
fact that no discharge was observed. The plant personnel have been notified that
if this occurs again it is to be documented on the qualitative monitoring form that
there was no discharge observed during that particular reporting period.
• Item 5 — The two containers that were labeled Lubricon and Accelerator have
been removed from the property. One of the containers was empty and the other
had approximately 400 gallons in the 3000-gallon container. The supplier for the
admixtures at this location was in the process of being changed and these two
tanks were not in use and had not been removed at the time of the inspection. The
admixture tank that was noted last year was placed in the containment area and is
not one of the two that was observed on April 18, 2008.
The items listed above have all been rectified and you will find that this plant is now
in compliance with the storm water permit regulations. I further request that no further
action be taken. If you have any questions or further concerns please let me know.

Coleco H. Sullins, Director
Division of Water Quality
On April 18, 2008, Ms. Stephanie Brixey and Ms. Autumn Hoban of the Raleigh Regional Office conducted a
stormwater inspection of Chandler Concrete Plant I I I in Pittsboro. Ronnie Maness was very helpful and his
help was much appreciated as it eased the inspection process.
The following observations were made:
The facility does have a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) on site. The plan was last revised
8/16/2004. The Facility Inspection program includes monitoring discharge outfalls, quarterly
housekeeping inspections, secondary containment releases, inspecting the dust collection system and
inspecting for spills and releases. The General Permit states in Part II Section A.7, "The Stormwater
Pollution Prevention Plan shall be reviewed and updated on an annual basis. Revision dates should be
included on the pages changed."
2. The last employee training on file was dated 10/24/2006. The General Permit states in Part II Section
A.5, "Training schedules shall be developed and training provided for all employees at a minimum on an
annual basis."
Qualitative monitoring is conducted semi-annually but is not being performed as stated in the permit.
The General Permit states in Part III Section F, "Qualitative monitoring will be performed twice per
year, once in the spring (April - June) and once in the fall (September - November)." It was noted that
this was conducted in July of 2007 and in April of 2008. This topic was discussed during the last
inspection.
4. Analytical monitoring had been completed as required.

5. Currently there are two containers not in a containment. area. The containers are labeled as Lubricon and
as Accelerator. A containment area will need to-b'e built for these containers as discussed during the
inspection last year.
6. The property area is bermed to direct all runoff to the holding ponds at the rear of the facility. All
stormwater is discharged through one outfall to an un-named tributary of Robeson Creek.
Mr. Maness stated that the pond only discharges during a rain event of 5+ inches. It was noted that
some of the water is re -used at the facility and some evaporates during the summer months.
8. Mr. Maness explained that there is talk of upgrading the pit area so that all water on -site is recycled. He
showed us some drawings during the inspection.
The overall condition of Chandler Concrete's stormwater program is not compliant with Division standards.
The Notice of Violation is issued for numbers 2, 3 and 5 above. Please respond within 30 days of receipt of this

Dear Mr. Woody:
Alan W. Klimek, P.E., Director
Division of Water Quality
This is in response to your letters dated February 20, 2007 concerning the Chandler Concrete facilities in
Chatham County. I do want to clarify that the Notice of Violations were not issued based on the pH of the
water stored on -site. I understand that the stormwater that flows from outfall 2 at the Siler City facility does not
contain process water and that it is hard to collect a sample. The Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan at that
facility specifies that this is an outfall and therefore will be monitored. If this is something you fill should be
changed then the plan needs to be revised accordingly. Please note that if there is no discharge during the
spring or fall as specified in the permit then this should be documented for the qualitative monitoring and kept
on file.
If I can be of further assistance, please contact me at: (919) 791-4200 (or email: Stephanie. brixeya�ncmai1.net).

Dear Ms. Brixey:
FEB 21217
NU RALEIGH RFUBIAI. 0FF+C'
This is in response to your letter dated February 9, 2007. As for the items you
indicated as being in violation I offer these comments.
Item 2. I contend that we are in compliance with the permit in that we did Qualitative
Monitoring twice in 2005 and 2006. The reason it was not done.in the suggested time of
April -June and September -November was because there was no discharge observed
during these periods of time.
Item 4. The tank in question was placed outside the containment vessel due to the lack of
space. This particular admixture was added due to special job requirements after we had
built the containment area. We are in the process of placing this tank in a containment
area at the present time. This work should be complete within the next few days.
Item 6. I do not question the reading you obtained on the pH, but I did notice that there
was no water being discharged. I explained to you that this water is recycled back to the
truck wash station and also used for dust control in order to eliminate discharges. The
permit addresses the parameters of the water being discharged. It does not say that we
can't contain water on our site that is outside those parameters. A pH control device has
been ordered to keep any potential discharge of water in the range of 6-9.
Item number 2 is not a violation for the reasons stated above. Item number 4 is
being addressed right now, but at the present it would be very unlikely to present a
problem off -site since any spill would be contained in the basins where we could capture

and contained. Item number 6 is self-explanatory, but I contend that the permit does not
restrict us from storing water that is out of the parameters of permit requirements for
discharge. I therefore request that the NOV for these items be rescinded. I would
appreciate a response from you concerning theses issues.
Thank you for your positive comments and suggestions. Chandler Concrete
Company strives to maintain our plants in manner that will be environmentally friendly.
We will continue to make improvements in order to be compliance with all
environmental regulations.

Stormwater Evaluation Inspection
NPDES General Permit No. NCG140086
Pittsboro Plant
Chatham County
On February 7, 2007, Ms. Stephanie Brixey of the Raleigh Regional Office conducted a stormwater inspection
of Chandler Concrete Plant I I I in Pittsboro. Your help was appreciated as it eased the inspection process.
The following observations were made:
The facility does have a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) on site. The plan was last revised
8/16/2004. Mr. Woody is in the process of updating the plan. The Facility Inspection program includes
monitoring discharge outfalls, quarterly housekeeping inspections, secondary containment releases,
inspecting the dust collection system and inspecting for spills and releases. Employee training is
documented.
2. Qualitative monitoring is conducted semi-annually but is not being performed as stated in the permit.
The General Permit states in Part III Section F, "Qualitative monitoring will be performed twice per
year, once in the spring (April - June) and once in the fall (September - November)." It was noted that
this was conducted in January and July of 2005 and in January and June of 2006.
3. Analytical monitoring had been completed as required.
4. All tanks are currently contained except for one that contains Lubricon. A containment area will need to
be built for this container.
5. The property area is bermed to direct all runoff to the holding ponds at the rear of the facility. All
stormwater is discharged through one outfall to an un-named tributary of Robeson Creek.
6. Water held in the last pond had a pH of'11.49. Any discharges to the waters of the State must meet a pH
of 6 to 9 as specified in the permit. You indicated that a means of lowering pH is being considered.
Please respond explaining how you meet the pH limit of 6 to 9 when the pond discharges.
You stated the pond discharges once or twice per year during a storm event. It was noted that some of
the water is re -used at the facility and some evaporates during the summer months. N'o, �` Carolina

RE: Notice of Violation
Permit No. NCG 140086
Pittsboro, NC
Chatham County
Dear Mr. Schuster:
CERTIFIED MAIL
This is in response to your letter dated November 25, 2002. There has been much done to be in
compliance with the General Storm Water Permit. This includes the development of the two books
that you referenced, training on awareness and compliance, performing site inspections, cleaning
property of potential environmental hazards, spending capital dollars in construction of settling
ponds, construction of admixture containment just to name a few.
As to your list of violations these are the responses.
a) All of our employees receive annual training on all environmental issues. This occurs at
each plant location and during our annual company wide training sessions held here in
Burlington. Copies of that documentation will be added to the SW3P.
b) There is a statement in the SW3P handbook on page 2 under Site Assessment that there
have been no significant spills or leaks at this location in the past three years. This book
was just revised this year. If a significant spill or leak occurs our people have been
instructed to notify the proper authorities, make a notation of any such occurrence and
place it in the SW3P book.
c) Semi-annual inspections are required for all of our locations. This data has been kept in
our corporate office. Copies of this data are being sent to this plant location.
d) Annual sampling data is submitted to the State as per the permit requirements. Copies of
this data have been kept at our corporate office. I was not aware that they needed to be on
file at the individual locations. Copies are being sent to this plant location to be filed in the
S WPPP.
e) This is a very harsh negative statement. I disagree with you, there is evidence that much
work has been done to comply with the permit requirements of implementing the plan.
There has been training, inspections, sampling, proper preventative maintenance on the
vehicles and plant, as well as implementing BMPs.
I appreciate your recommendations. I will admit that more detail can always be added. Our
philosophy is to always strive to meet or exceed permit requirements. We believe in keeping it
simple, and covering the major issues and concerns. Several of your recommendations are not
addressed in the actual permit. There is no mention as to the order of listing in the guidelines from the
EPA. It is of our contention that all of the major items of the permit are covered. As I related to you
in our meetings that there has to be some consideration as to the cost of compliance to these permits.
For small, low volume locations such as this somethings are just not economically feasible. We
would welcome any help from you as to how to economically adjust the pH of the water to be in
compliance with the permit requirements.
Chandler Concrete has already spent considerable dollars to improve this site in order to be in
compliance with the permit. By construction of settling ponds and reusing the water we have reduced
the discharge from this plant considerably. By the construction of the liquid admixture containment
we have all but eliminated the possibility of any contaminated discharge. This plant has received an
Honorable Mention in their Environmental Excellence contest sponsored by the National Ready
Mixed Concrete Association (NRMCA) and Concrete Products magazine. This is further indication
that this company takes environmental issues seriously.
You stated that the industry has had ample time to bring these sites in compliance. I respond that the
conditions under the original permit were changed drastically upon the renewal. Our industry has
been working through the state and national associations to be in compliance with the storm water
permitting. At the present time there is no economically feasible method to meet the discharge
regulations. We will continue to strive to meet all permit requirements.
Since there appears to be no violations of the General Storm Water Permit at this location I request
that the NOV be rescinded. If not then I request the right to appeal.
Sincerely,

Failure to Implement Stormwater Permit
Permit No. NCG 140086
Pittsboro, NC
Chatham County
Dear Mr. Woody:
On September 25, 2002 Mr. Myrl Nisely of the Raleigh Regional office of Division of Water
Quality made a compliance inspection of Chandler Concrete Plant 111 in Pittsboro. The help of
Ronnie Maness was appreciated.
Documentation is in two three-ring binders, one labeled Stormwater SPPP and the other
Environmental Handbook. The SPPP manual was issued in May, 2002. Together these provide
the basic planning and forms to use, but there was little data to show execution and active
compliance. Under the five year records retention requirement, there should have been records in
the manual of an implemented stormwater program from about 1997 to the present.
The following violations of Pittsboro Permit No. NCG140086 were observed:
a) Employee training in May, 2002 appeared to have been provided only to Plant Manager
Maness, not to all employees. As you explained in our meeting on 9/27/02, all
employees actually do receive considerable training. Documentation of that needs to be
in the SPPP binder. These will be added.
b) There was no list of significant spills, or a signed page specific to this location stating that
there had been none. Significant spills are defined as at or above the reportable quantity
for that substance, but any spill large enough to be cleaned up should be called in to the
Regional office and be recorded on the SPPP spill page. In Site Assessment
c) No semi-annual site inspections were available At Corp. office, will be added.
Chandler Concrete, October 1, 2002
p. 2
d) There was no evidence of annual sampling or certification that none was needed because
of no discharge (Section B). In corp. office, will be added
e) In summary, there has been almost no implementation of the plan per Section A9.
Disagree with this harsh statement. Was based on what I could observe that day.
On the plus side, the requirement in a letter of NOV dated November 29, 2001 to install
secondary containment for admixture chemicals has been accomplished.
In a meeting at the Raleigh Regional office on September 28 with Myrl Nisely and me, the
following improvements in the Chandler program were recommended:
• Consolidate the stormwater materials presently in the two binders into the site -specific SPPP
binder
• Organize the program elements in the same order they are listed in the permit. Tabs labeling
the parts will be helpful to users and inspectors
• For Part H Section A L(a), Prepare a USGS-type map "zoomed" in or out as necessary to
show the facility's location in reference to transportation routes and the route of all
stormwater discharges all the way to the receiving water(s). Clearly identify the name of
receiving stream(s).
• The narrative required in (b) should be detailed for each plant, in addition to the present
general description of manufacturing processes.
• Give considerable detail on the site map as requested in (c), including designations of the
area served by each discharge, even if the flow away from the site is sheet flow.
• Section A2. calls for a narrative of just what practices will be used to control stormwater.
Considerable detail is given in this section of the permit. In particular, more detail is needed
for the BMPs for each drain site.
• Water held in the last pond measured a pH of 10.95. Any discharges to waters of the State
must meet the 6 to 9 pH specified in the permit. You indicated that a means of lowering pH
was being considered. Our office is requiring an Authorization to Construct for pH
installations, any plant expansions and for new facilities.
• Documentation of Section A4, Preventative Maintenance and Good Housekeeping should be
in the manual, covering the details as described in that part of the permit.
• As mentioned above, Section A5 employee training must be the SPPP manual.
• Section A6, Responsible Party, should actually state a name in addition to job title as is now
done.
• A means of showing that an update of the SPPP was accomplished at least annually should
be provided (and more often, if major changes are made at the plant).
• Modification of the perimeter of the plant is underway to provide more parking space and
better traffic options. This will be graded to take nearly all runoff into the pond system, and
the last pond will be enlarged. A drain opening is planned for the block wall. Per 15A
NCAC 2H.0140, these changes need to be certified by a professional engineer.
Please respond in writing to Mr. Myrl Nisely of this office by December 31, 2002 to provide a
general progress report.

I received your letter of November 29, 2001 on December 5, 2001. It is my understanding
from this letter and according to our permit NCG 140087 that we are to submit a schedule to provide
secondary containment for the bulk liquid storage tanks.
As I related to you via phone on November 27, 2001 we are very much concerned about all
environmental issues and making sure our plants are in compliance. The secondary containment for
the liquid admixtures will be in place no later than May 31, 2002. We have been in conversation with
our admixture supplier encouraging them to move this plant up on their schedule as for a complete
renovation and update. We were already in the process of making these changes prior to your visit at
our other locations. This change means taking out all admixture tanks, piping, pumps, and measuring
devices and placing all of this equipment in a closed facility that will be contained in the event of a
leak.
