Dear Mr. Woody:
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.brixey@ncmai1.net).

RE: Notice of Violation
Siler City Plant # 109
NPDES General Permit No. NCG 140087
Dear Ms. Brixey:
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. The storm water that flows from the outfall number 2 contains no discharge from
our process area and furthermore it will be very hard to collect a representative sample
due to the fact that it will be very similar to a sheet flow spread out over a 15 to 20 foot
span. There is no point source. It is my recommendation that this outfall be deleted from
the sampling requirements.
Item 3. As was mentioned to you during your inspection that there was no discharge
observed during the period of September — November of 2005. This was a
misunderstanding on the part of the plant manager. There is now a signed copy of the
Qualitative Monitoring form in the plan indicating there was no discharge observed
during this time. I have also instructed the plant manager to indicate on the proper form
that there was no discharge if this occurs in the future.
Item 5. 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.

Ms. Stephanie Brixey
Division of Water Quality
Siler City Plant # 109
I note that items number 2 and 3 deal with paper work and have nothing to do
with the quality of any water that has been or will be discharged. Item number 5 is self-
explanatory, but I contend that the permit does not restrict us from storing water that is
out of the parameters of the permit requirements for discharge. I therefore request that the
NOV for all issues be rescinded and would appreciate your response.
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. NCG140087
Siler City Plant
Chatham County
On February 7, 2007, Ms. Stephanie Brixey of the Raleigh Regional Office conducted a stormwater inspection
of Chandler Concrete Plant 109 in Siler City. 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.
This site has 2 storm water discharge outfalls. No monitoring has been conducted at outfall 002. Mr.
Woody feels that there may be some contamination at this outfall because of the chicken facility next
door. Outfall 002 is on the property line of Chandler Concrete and Gold Kist. Gold Kist parks their
refrigerated trailers in this area. Mr. Woody and Mr. Brian Teague of Chandler Concrete said that these
trailers sometimes leak fluids from inside them. The stormwater from this area then runs over the curb
and the sample would have to be collected on the side of the highway. The General Permit requires
qualitative and analytical monitoring at each outfall. If you feel that Gold Kist is an issue you may
want to discuss these concerns with them and make arrangements so they do not park trailers on your
property.
3. 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 of 2005 and in June of 2006. Mr. Woody said he did not think there was
a discharge at any other time. There was no documentation stating this.
4. Analytical monitoring had been completed as required.

RE: Notice of Violation

Siler City, NC

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, paving work area, construction of admixture containment just to name a few.
As to your list of violations these are the responses.
a) I do not contest that the contents of the holding cell had a pH of 10.3. This is not a
violation. The point is that water was not leaving that cell to be discharged off the
property. As explained at the time of the inspection this water is pumped back into the
process area to be used to rinse off the trucks and added to the water tanks on the trucks.
b) There is a statement in the SW3P handbook on page 2 under Site Assessment that there
has 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) It is of our opinion that if a spill occurs to the truck wash chemical storage tank that it
will be captured in the settling ponds. After all this is an acid solution and would help
neutralize the water in these ponds.
d) Semi-annual inspections are required for all of our locations. Copies of this data have been
kept at our corporate office. Copies of this data are being sent to this plant location.
tioU ,� nen d, tvw
CSWEAT
U
I
e) Annual sampling data is submitted to the State as per the permit requirements. Copies of
this data are kept in the corporate office. I was not aware that they needed to be on file at
the individual locations. These copies are being sent to this plant location to be kept in the
SW3P.
f) 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 some things are 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 recycling the storm/process 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. 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
,.ill 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,
ames . body

Failure to Implement Stormwater Permit
Permit No. NCG 140087
Siler City, NC
Chatham County
Dear Mr. Woody
On September 25, 2002 Mr. Myrl Nisely of the Raleigh Regional office of Division of Water
Quality met with Norman Suits to make a compliance inspection of Chandler Concrete Plant 109
in Siler City. Mr. Suits' help was greatly appreciated.
History: A general stormwater permit for ready mix concrete production facilities was first
issued in 1994. The permit was revised effective August 1, 1999, and that version gave all
permit holders 24 months, until August 31, 2001 to fully establish the elements required by the
permit.
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 Siler City Permit No. NCG140087 were observed:
a) The contents of the holding cell from which water is released showed pH 10.3. This will
be a violation of the permit limit of 6 to 9 pH when released unless the pH is lowered.
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
Chandler Concrete, October 1, 2002
p. 2
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.
c) In response to the letter of NOV of November 29, 2001, significant changes have been
made meeting the secondary containment issues addressed in that letter. However, it
appears that containment of a catastrophic spill from the Truck Wash chemical storage
tank, especially if during a hard rain, would likely flow with enough velocity to escape
the channel meant to direct the spill into the first cell. Please examine whether an
additional wall beyond the channel is needed to make certain the spill is captured as
planned.
d) No semi-annual site inspections were available
e) There was no evidence of annual sampling or certification that none was needed because
of no discharge (Section B).
f) In summary, that has been almost no implementation of the plan per Section A9.
On the plus side, Employee Training in May, 2002 was documented to have been provided to all
employees at that location. Containment and storage for admixture chemicals via the dedicated
building is an outstanding way of handling those materials.
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 II Section A 1.(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.
• 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).

This is in response to your letter of November 29, 2001. All of the issues that were addressed
have been completed.
1. The chemical admixtures along with all pumps and appurtenances have been relocated in
an enclosed container that will meet the requirements for secondary containment.
2. A newly revised SWPPP has been completed and placed into action. A copy is at the
facility.
3. A new sediment basin has been constructed to reduce or eliminate run-off of
process/storm water. This is addition of revised operational methods.
I will be happy to meet with you at this location at your convenience. Please call me if you
have any questions.

I received your letter of November 29, 2001 on December 5, 2001. It is my understanding
from this letter and according to our permit NCG140087 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. We started to work on Monday,
November 26, 2001 installing a truck wash area and containment ponds for all process water. These
ponds should be completed by January 31, 2002.
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
