Representative Outfall Status Request
Clear Creek Quarry
Mecklenburg County
The Mooresville Regional Office staff have reviewed your request received on March 8, 2011, for a
determination that stormwater discharge outfall (SDO) 141-012 be granted representative outfall status
for stormwater outfalls 141-011, and (SDO) 141-013 be granted representative outfalls status for
stormwater outfalls 141-014 and 141-015. Based on the information and maps provided and the site
visit of April 8, 2011, we are approving this request. In accordance with 40 CFR §122.21(g)(7), you are
authorized to sample the above requested representative outfalls accordingly. This approval is effective
with the next sampling event. We also want to remind you that the permit still requires Qualitative
Monitoring be performed at all SDOs, regardless of representative status.
Please remember that any actions you initiate in response to benchmark exceedances as directed in the
tiered response provisions of your permit must address all drainage areas represented by SDO 141-012
and 141-013, where appropriate.
Please append this letter to your Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) or permit to document
that representative outfall status has been approved. If changes in drainage areas, structures,
processes, storage practices, or other activities occur that significantly alter the basis of this approval,
representative outfall status may no longer be valid. You should either resume sampling at all SDOs, or
reapply to this office for representative outfall status based on updated information. If you have any
questions or comments concerning this letter, please contact our Office at [phone].

Robert B. Krebs, Regional Supervisor

General Permit NCG020000
Request for Sampling Extension
Various Counties
.h
Dear Mr. Knopf- "
Dee Freeman
Secretary
We are writing in response to your request for an extension to collect the first semi-annual stormwater
sample under this permit. In your letter of June 23, 2010, you requested an extension to August 31" to comply with
sampling requirements at several Vulcan facilities across the state. Your letter cited reasons to support the request
that included:
Hard copies of the new NCG020000 permit not being received until mid -February, when the permit had
become effective January 1, 2010;
Spotty weather patterns resulting in storm events during non -operating hours that prevent sample
collection; and
• The need for additional time to train Sampling Personnel on significant changes in the permit.
One of the reasons for your request was the new provision that monthly monitoring will apply for the
remainder of the permit term, should the mine ever fail to collect a sample during a scheduled monitoring period
(footnote 1 of Table 1 in Part III). While considering your request, the Stormwater Permitting Unit (SPU) realized this
provision may unfairly affect permittees who obtain coverage under NCG020000 in the middle of a monitoring
period. The SPU has written up guidance to address this situation and related conflicts in the permit text (see
attachment).
. Recognizing there were possible conflicts with this provision that our guidance now addresses, DWQ will
grant your request for an extension to collect a Stormwater sample by August 31, 2010. However, we note that
Vulcan Materials Company should have been prepared to comply with permit monitoring requirements prior to
receiving hard copies of the permit in mid -February. Specifically:

Monitoring Extension Request

• The SPU met on several occasions with the North Carolina Aggregates Association (NCAA) through the
NCG020000 renewal process, beginning in August 2009. Vulcan Materials is a member of NCAA, and a
representative of the company attended the initial meeting.
• The provision that triggers monthly monitoring for failure to sample came out of discussions with industry
representatives during these meetings and was incorporated into the finial permit as a result.
• The definition of representative storm event also changed as a result of these discussions with NCAA to
increase sampling opportunities during operating hours. A representative storm event in NCG020000 now
only requires a period of 48 hours of no rain prior to the event.
• An advance copy of the final permit was forwarded to the Executive Director of the NCAA on December 29,
2009 and subsequently distributed to NCAA members. The final NCG020000 permit was available to all
permittees on the DWQ website when it became effective in January 2010.
• Stormwater sampling requirements are not new with this renewal, even though sampling is now semi-
annual (instead of annual in the previous permit). Vulcan should have already been familiar with the
stormwater sampling requirements.
If you have any'questions regarding this letter, please contact Bethany Georgoulias at [phone].
