(II) FACRBrY DESCRIPTION: The Carolina Sunrock LLC - Muirhead Distribution Center consists of a batch type asphalt
and a batch concrete plant Asphalt operations involve heating crushed stone and sand to 320' F and combining them with
liquid asphalt. The resulting mix is loaded into tucks for distribution. The asphalt plant is rated for 300 tons per hour.
Concrete operations involve placing measured amounts of cement, aggregate, fly ash and water into a mixing truck The
concrete plant is rated for 100 tons per hour.
Safety note: Standard safety equipment required includes: hard hat, steel toed shoes, safety glasses, hearing protection and a
reflective vest Main concern is truck traffic.
(IIn SUMMARY OF INSPECTION: On May 25, 2016, I (Gary Perlmutter) along with Cheng Zhang (DWR), Thad Valentine
(DLR) and Eric Swope (DWM) visited the facility to conduct a multimedia compliance inspection for air, water, land and
waste media. This report addresses the air permit inspection component
Upon arrival we noticed that die facility was very busy and aside from fugitive dust kicked up by truck traffic, little or no
emissions were observed. We met with Mr. Tony Sample, Compliance Manager and Technical Contact, as well as Mr. Ricky
Hayes, the new Facility Foreman and Facility Contact, Mr. Fred Blankenship, former Facility Contact and facilities manager,
and other staff. We reviewed the permit and required recordkeeping. All appeared to be in order. After document review, we
inspected the equipment and the yard. At the time of the inspection, the asphalt plant was burning natural gas, had opacity of
zero from its slack, and was using RAP. The concrete batch plant was also running and we observed a truck unloading
cement or fly -ash as well as cock loadings of concrete. No visible emissions were observed, and wet suppression was
observed in operation to control dust
Overall, the facility appeared to be well run and maintained from an air quality standpoint. Further details follow.

(X) COMPLIANCE HISTORY: A review of I -Beam records revealed the following compliance actions the facility has
triggered:
• June 27, 2006 — a Notice of Violation/Notice of Recommendation for Enforcement (NOV/NRE) was issued on for
the combustion of out -of -spec No. 4 recycled fuel oil because the concentration of chromium was above the
allowable limit of 3 ppm. However, based on the fording of test bias, no civil penalty was assessed for this violation
and the NOV/NRE was rescinded on October 27, 2006.
• January 18, 2000 — an NOV/NRE was issued for failing to submit a quarterly report by the due date for the fourth
time. The enforcement package was not prepared in a timely manner due to personnel changes, so civil penalties
was not pursued and the recommendation for enforcement was withdrawn on November 1, 2000,
• July 9, 1999 - an NOV/NRE was issued for failing to submit a quarterly report by the due date for the third time. An
enforcement package was prepared on September 10, 1999 with an assessment of S 196.00.
• May 12, 1997 — an NOV was issued for failing to submit quarterly report by the due date for the second time.
• February 24, 1997 — an informational letter was issued for failing to submit a quarterly report by the due date.

Certificate of Coverage No. NCG160161
Carolina Sunrock LLC — Murihead Distribution Center
Durham County
Dear Mr. Pfohl:
DONALD R. VAN DER VAART
.. Secretary
Staff from the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) conducted a stormwater inspection on May
25, 2016, as part of a multimedia inspection of your facility. The assistance provided by Mr. Tony
Sample, the Compliance Manager, during the inspection was greatly appreciated. The inspection report
is attached. Findings during the inspection were as follows:
1. Certificate of Coverage (COC) No. NCG160161 under NPDES General Permit NCG160000
was issued to Carolina Sunrock LLC — Murihead Distribution Center to discharge stormwater
runoff to Ellerbe Creek, a WS-V, NSW, CA stream, in the Neuse River Basin.
The facility has developed a stormwater pollution prevention plan (SPPP). A review of the
plan indicated that it included all components required by the general permit. It was noted
that annual employee training is documented in a Microsoft Word File. The General
Permit requires that annual training shall be documented by signature and printed or
typed name of each employee trained. Please document future employee training in the
form that is specified in the General Permit.
3. Semi-annual qualitative has been conducted at the only stormwater discharge outfall (SDO1).
Last recorded discharge and analytical monitoring was on November 11, 2011.
4. The lone outfall was observed during the inspection; the end of the discharge pipe was not
readily accessible. Mr. Sample explained that samples were taken at the other end of the pipe
in the retention pond.

5. The facility is both a batch asphalt and batch concrete plant, however it has only one COC
(NCG160161) under General Permit NCG160000, which authorizes industrial stormwater
discharges associate with activities classified as establishments primarily engaged in
manufacturing Asphalt Paving Mixtures and Blocks and like activities deemed to be similar
in the process or in the exposure of raw materials, final products, by-products, or waste
materials. This inspection confirms that process wastewater associated with vehicle and
equipment cleaning, raw material stockpiles wetting, and mixing drum cleanout is generated
on site, and can be potentially discharged to the receiving waters via the stormwater
discharge outfall. Discharge of such process wastewater is not covered by the General Permit
NCG160000.
Therefore, the facility will also need coverage under General Permit NCG140000. The
General Permit authorizes stormwater and/or process wastewater associate with activities
classified as establishments primarily engaged in manufacturing ready -mixed concrete and
like activities deemed to be similar in the process and/or in the exposure of raw materials,
products, by-products, or waste materials.
Please complete and submit the enclosed Notice of Intent Form to apply for coverage under
General Permit NCG140000 within 30 days of receipt of this letter. If you have any questions

Inspection Summary:
The facility is both a batch asphalt and batch concrete plant, however it has only one CDC (NCG160161) under General
Permit NCG160000, which covers industrial stormwater discharges associate with activities classified as establishments
primarily engaged in manufacturing Asphalt Paving Mixtures and Blocks and like activities deemed to be similar in the
process or in the exposure of raw materials, final products, by-products, or waste materials. This inspection confirms that
process wastewater associated with vehicle and equipment cleaning, raw material stockpiles wetting, and mixing drum
cleanout is generated on site, and can be potentially discharged to the receiving waters via the stormwater discharge
outfall. Discharge of such process wastewater is not covered by the General Permit NCG160000. Therefore, the facility
shall apply for coverage under General Permit NCG140000, which authorizes stormwater and/or process wastewater
associate with activities classified as establishments primarily engaged in manufacturing ready -mixed concrete and like
activities deemed to be similar in the process and/or in the exposure of raw materials, products, by-products, or waste
materials.
