The Certificate of Coverage (CoC) specific to your operation was last issued on August 1, 2002. The Division needs information from you to determine if coverage under NCG520000 is still necessary. ➢ If your property still has a wastewater system like the ones described in the enclosed Technical Bulletin, you must renew the subject CoC.

This permit expires on July 31, 2002. Division of Water Quality (DWQ) staff is in the process of rewriting this permit with a scheduled reissue in the summer of 2002. Once the permit is reissued, your facility would be eligible for continued coverage under the reissued permit. In order to assure your continued coverage under the general permit, you must apply to the DWQ for renewal of your permit coverage. To make this renewal process easier, we are informing you in advance that your permit coverage will be expiring. Enclosed you will find a general permit coverage renewal application form. This will serve as your application for renewal of your permit coverage. The application must be completed and returned with the required information by February 01, 2002 in order to assure continued coverage under the general permit. There is no renewal fee associated with this process. Your facility will be invoiced for the annual permit fee at a later date. Failure to request renewal within this time period may result in a civil assessment of at least $250.00. Larger penalties may be assessed depending on the delinquency of the request. Discharge of wastewater from your facility without coverage under a valid wastewater NPDES permit would constitute a violation of NCGS 143-215.1 and could result in assessments of civil penalties of up to $10,000 per day. If the subject wastewater discharge to waters of the state has been terminated, please complete the enclosed rescission request form. Mailing instructions are listed on the bottom of the form. You will be notified when the rescission process has been completed. If you have any questions regarding the permit coverage renewal procedures please contact the Asheville Regional Office at 828-251-6208 or Aisha Lau of the Central Office Stormwater Unit at (919) 733-5083, ext. 578 Sincerely, Bradley Bennett, Supervisor Stormwater and General Permits Unit cc: Central Files Stormwater and General Permits Unit Files Asheville Regional Office 1617 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617 Telephone 919-733-5083 FAX 919-733-9919 An Equal Opportunity Affirmative Action Employer 50% recycled/ 10% post -consumer paper OsW A TF/j MAP@i Fk l+alex„Qurn�r, a> �Y., Wll iam G.

Chapman Grading & Concrete was found to be deficient in complying with a number of requirements imposed under both NPDES permits NCG020526 and NCG520003. Establishing satisfactory compliance with the permits will require implementation of measures that fulfill all terms ' and conditions contained therein. In moving toward the goal of full compliance, the inspectors suggest immediate implementation of the following actions, along with any others that the facility's owners judge appropriate: Remove the current diesel fuel storage tank and all contaminated sediment and replace with a double -lined tank or some other design that provides secondary containment. Replace the current stormwater discharge pipe with a berm to eliminate possible discharge from the mining area. Initiate monitoring of the wastewater outfall from the settling pond as required by NCG520003. To assist with the implementation of the subject permits, copies of both are included here. Technical bulletins are also included for your information.

No secondary containment is provided. Recommend that current tank be removed along with all contaminated sediment and that double -lined tank be -installed as new fuel storage container. Recommend that existing stormwater pipe near entrance to the site be removed and replaced with a berm to eliminate direct discharge of stormwater to an unnamed tributary. Such removal will likely eliminate all possible stormwater draining from site (extremely permeable site for stormwater infiltration). Recommend that sand pile adjacent to river by downstream -most point of dragline be stabilized with vegetation or else pulled back landward on the bank to eliminate sand entering the river. Recommend that a stormwater BMP plan be prepared and kept onsite as required by NCG020526.

The site's settling pond and general design appear to capture river water associated with actual dredging. Site representative said at the time of inspection that no monitoring, as required in the permit NCG520003, has been conducted. Site representative was advised. at time of inspection to initiate outfall monitoring as required in the permit. Wastewater runoff from sand piles does not drain to settling pond, but appears to either soak into the ground or runoff the perimeter of the leased property, where it eventually soaks into the ground. A diesel fuel storage tank is located on a pile of sand directly beside and draining to the river. Multiple spills associated with the tank were evident at the time of inspection. Secondary containment via installation of a double -lined tank is recommended, along with proper disposal of contaminated soil.
