Subject: Rescission of NPDES Stormwater Permit
Certificate of Coverage Number NCG140439
Guilford County
On February 21, 2017, the Division off Energy, Mineral and Land Resources received your
request to rescind your coverage under Certificate of Coverage Number NCG 140439. In
accordance with your request, Certificate of Coverage Number NCG140439 is rescinded
effective immediately.
Operating a treatment facility, discharging wastewater or discharging specific types of
stormwater to waters of the State without valid coverage under an NPDES permit is against
federal and state laws and could result in fines. If something changes and your facility would
again require stormwater or wastewater discharge permit coverage, you should notify this office
immediately. We will be happy to assist you in assuring the proper permit coverage.
If the facility is in the process of being sold, you will be performing a public service if you would
inform the new or prospective owners of their potential need for NPDES permit coverage.
If you have questions about this matter, please contact us at 919-707-9200, or the Stormwater
staff in our Winston-Salem Regional Office (336) 776-9800.

Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan
For Temporary Concrete Batch Plant
Background
Lane has been contracted to perform 3 miles of interstate concrete paving work for the NCDOT
Greensboro Western Loop project. This project requires that approximately 50,000 cubic yards of
concrete be produced and placed into the new roadway. to order to facilitate this construction, a
temporary portable concrete batch plant will be erected on NCDOT property adjacent to the
roadway alignment. The physical address of this location is 2149 Fleming Road, Greensboro NC
27410.
The concrete plant that is being proposed in this application will exist solely to provide concrete
for the Greensboro Western Loop Construction Project. As scheduled this entire project will be
completed by March 14, 2018 and the concrete plant will be removed in advance of this date. It
is anticipated that this plant will only be in this location for 12 months and during that time it will
only be active during intervals of concrete paving. Upon the completion of concrete paving this
plant will be removed and the site will be restored.
• Waste Water Generated
There will be four different types of waste water generated at this site which need to be analyzed.
The first will come from the cleaning of the concrete hauling units. Dump trucks will be utilized to
haul the wet concrete and will need to have their dump bodies rinsed out after each load. This
water will combine with the concrete that is rinsed out of the dump body and will contain all the
elements of the concrete (Sand, Stone & Cement). No other cleaning or repair of these vehicles
will occur at this site.
The second waste water generated will be the wash water produced after cleaning the plant's
mixing drum. The composition of this water will be the same as that produced during the dump
truck rinsing operation. This cleaning of the mixing drum will occur upon of the completion of
each shift and also as necessary throughout the shift.
The third waste water generated will be the water used to wet the raw aggregate stockpiles.
These stockpiles will be watered consistently during concrete production operations. Water that
flows from these stockpiles will contain suspended fine particles that have escaped from the
stockpiles.
The final waste water generated at this site is storm water runoff. Currently the site is being
developed by the prime contractor and will need to be stabilized prior to the concrete plant being
setup. Once the area is stabilized the amount of runoff becomes much greater and has the
potential to create erosion.
•

Jul. 22, 15
Waste Water Control & Treatment
• In order to effectively treat the waste water generated by this setup it must first be collected and
brought into the appropriate containment areas. As designed the treatment plan for this site will
separate storm water runoff from concrete wash water. The site will be graded and diversion
ditch lines will be established to ensure that storm water will flow into the southernmost basin
while the concrete wash water will be introduced into its own series of basins. This separation
will allow for a higher total system factor of safety.
The Stormwater Basin will be a "Skimmer" basin which is a BMP device designed to retain the
flow from a storm event and slowly dewater by skimming the surface water. This basin is 100%
effective in retaining all large particles that may be suspended in the storm water runoff. It is
anticipated that any particles originating from the plant yard itself will be relatively large (Fine
Sands) and easily collected in this basin. The remainder of the drainage area at this plant site is
a grassed field which could introduce silts and clays into the runoff. Any silt particles will easily
settle out in this skimmer basin. However, due to the ultra -fine particle size of clays if introduced
into the system these particles could potentially pass through prior to settling out. Settling time
is not realistically achievable for ultra -fine particles such as clays and as such the best treatment
method for these particles is to prevent their introduction into the system. This prevention is
most easily achieved by confirming the adequacy of the established ground cover. Any
disturbed soil must be vegetated to eliminate exposed erodible surfaces. Rock "Check Dams"
will also be utilized to slow the storm water as it flows toward the skimmer basin which will also
help to reduce the potential risk of erosion.
The Concrete Wash Water will be introduced into its own series of basins designed to effectively
settle all suspended particles and also to ensure that the pH of the outflowing water is within the
acceptable range. To do this, three basins will be created. The first basin in the series is the
"Washout Pit" where the dump trucks will be sprayed and the concrete will be directly mixed into
the system. This is also the location where wash water from the mixing drum will be transported
to. The second basin is to be the "Settling Basin" which is a very large retention basin sized to
provide adequate settling time to ensure that the fine particles have settled out prior to outflowing
into the final basin. The third basin is the "pH Reduction Basin" which is where a Fortran
System will be installed to monitor and regulate the pH of the wash water.
Predicted Maximums and System Performance
The storm water treatment system has been designed for the Ten Year rain event following the
N_ C Division of Land Quality Requirements. For the total accumulated drainage areas for this site
(1.9 AC plant site -and' 3.15 AC grassed field) the expected flow rate from this storm event would
be 22.3 CFS.
The concrete wash water treatment system has been designed for a concrete plant running at a
regular maximum production of 2,000 CY per day. This volume will result in a wash water flow of
approximately 2500 CFt, In actuality this production rate will only be achieved a limited number
of times on this project. However, it is important to calculate the waste water treatment system
based upon the project maximums and not the averages.
Upon release from either treatment system (Storm or Wash) the TSS and SS levels in the
outflowing water will be less than the established limits (30 mgA and 5 mlfl respectively), and the
pH will be within the acceptable 6-9 range.
•
Page 2
Jul. 22, 15
Maintenance of System
All water treatment devices will be evaluated on a bi-weekly basis, and after any event resulting in
0.5" of precipitation or greater. Any damage to the devices will be repaired immediately and any
sediment that has been built up will be removed routinely. This system has been designed to
allow for easy access and maintenance which will help to ensure that it functions property.
During intervals where the concrete plant is active the wash water basins will be inspected on a
daily basis. It is anticipated that at a minimum the "Washout Pit" will require routine cleaning
during these intervals. The aggregates that will accumulate in this basin will begin to impact the
function of the system if they are allowed to build up. It is the responsibility of Lane to ensure
that this buildup of materials is removed on a timely basis.
Summary
The purpose of this treatment system is to effectively treat both the Stormwater and the
Wastewaters produced from this concrete plant site. This treatment system has been used
successfully at previous sites for concrete batch plants, most recently this exact plant and
treatment methodology was used for a similar NCDOT project in Davidson County (Lane
Construction, 2011). The rules and guidelines set forth by general permit NCG 140000 will be
strictly adhered to and BMP's will be employed. Any questions regarding the operation of this
facility can be directed to the facility contact noted in the application.

G.C. Pnvironmentatl, Inc., wits contracted to provide an engineers review and certification that the
Model 5000-S pH Monitor and Control System manufactured by Coastal Carolina Supply in
Morehead City, NC, could effectively provide on a continuous basis, an average pi -I range of6-9 units
on the supernato layer of a stormwater/rinse water %edimenttttion basin typically found at Redi-mix
concrctc facilities.
SGOf E OF WORK
During the week of August 1 I , 2003, G.C. Environmental, Inc„ witnessed the operation oftlte Model
5000-S self-contained pH Monitoring and Control System at a Kcdi-mix plant located in Durham, NC.
During the two (2) day test program, measurements were made within the facilities stormwater/rinse
water sedimentation basin far pt-1, temperature and depth (both supernate and sludge), During the tirwi
day of testing, the basin was found to be Heavily loaded with solids and adjustments were made to the
solids blanket to complete testing the following day.
TEST MCTIFIODOLOGY
A primary sedimentation basin located at a Red! -mix concrete plant located in Durham, NC was
treated utilizing the Modcl 5000-S pH Monitor and Control System. During; the test program, the
basin was, on a serni-continuous basis, being; fed rinse water Pram the exterior cleaning of cement
trucks, Measurements for pH, temperature, supernate and %fudge blankets were made within the
sedimentation basin, Initial PH measurements showed pH levels of at least 12.0 units. The
sedimentation basin was rectangular in shape with concrete walls and bottom. The basin ranged in
depth of V at the inlet to approximately Tat the deepest point_ Sludge measurements within the basin
showed that at least 2/3 of the basins depth was comprised of sludge and the remainder supernate.
The Modal 5000-S pI-I Monitor and Control System was set up at the reoungular sedimontation basin
with the intake and discharge hoses situated at opposite ends of the basin. Roth the intake and
discharge lines were sot at depths within the supernate layer of the basin. A clockwise flow pattern
was established once the unit began operation and pt-1 and temperature measurements were made at
several locations throughout the supemate layer ofthe sedimentation basin. Approximately eighteen
(18) pH and temperature measurements were collected with at mean pH value of S.SG and mean
temperature values of 30,94 OC. The pH system was left to run essentially on a continuous hrasis over
a four (4) hour period. An estimated volumc existing within the sedimentation basin was 25, 000
gallons with a little over 8000 gallons consisting of relatively clean supernate. The amount. of 25%
Sulfuric acid (H,.SO,) uscd to treat the sedimentation baying wpernaio was approximately 18-20
'� guilor<;s,
MODEL 5000-S PH MONITOR AND cowrRpL SYSTEM
The model 5000-S pH Monitor and Control System is compri,ed ora Hayward Power blow 11 (3/4
hp, 56 GPM) centrifugal pump which delivers raw water to a completely contained pH sensor
connected to a p.tl meter equipped with control relays which operate two (2) stenner (60 GPD) acid
injection pumps. The acid 25% 1-12SO,, is injected into the pump discharge line which empties into the
sedimentation busin. Sulfuric acid is delivered to the system by 15 gallon earbuoys located outside of
the Fiberglass weatherprool'enclosurc which houses all of the aforementioned equipment. On top of
the enclosed is an alarm light which is tied into the pI1 meter which is activated when pH levels exceed
8.5 pH unite or arc below 6.0 units.
CONCLUSION
1, The Model 5000-S pl l Monitor and Control System is an effective system for the pH balancing► of
sedimentation basins which are used to collect stormwater runolTand rinse water, commonly found
at Rcd-mix concrete pianty.
2. During the test program an average pH or8.54 units was measured in the subject sedimentation
basin with a range of 7.95 to 9.34 measured,
3. Sludge levels existing within the rectangular sedimentation ranged from 6.0 inches to 2.0 feet. Pff
values after pH stabilization at the sludge/supernate interfltcu were approximately 12,0 units
(�, 4. For this test program, approximately 180 mg/f ofsulfatea were added to the scdimcntaiion begin as
a result of pH adjustment with 25% sulfuric acid_
5. The 5000-S pH Monitor and Control System is Fully automated and provides a pH :adjusted waste
water which could effectively he reused within the Rcdi-mix concrete industry.

FORTRANS pH CONTROL SYSTEMS
FORTRANS pH CONTROL SYSTEMS are
completely aulomatle. They continually monitor/test
the pH of the inituent water and compares It to the
pH setting of the control unit. If a change in pH is
detected. the controller activates the solenoid valve
for the CO2. The pH adjustment chemical is then fed
to the return side of the circulation pump until the
pH is again at the proper level set at the controller.
The unit will continuously circulate the water until a
change in pH is detected and the treatment cycle
begins once again. The unit also features a digital
PH meter connected to a probe In the sample cell
to ensure unit Is functioning property and that the
correct pH level Is maintalned.
The pH CONTROL SYSTEMS are designed to
treat and maintain a specified pH level in a body of
water usually 100,000 gallons or less to allow the
permitted discharge of treated water to the
environment. Permits must be obtained from the
local governing agency to allow any discharge to the
environment. Treated water may be Used for wetting
of rock and/or dust control to aid compliance with
stormwater run off regulations. Treated water may
also be used in water recycling systems.
These systems offers precise monitoring and
control of the pH in settling basins, lagoons and
other outfall containment devices.
,The pH CONTROL SYSTEMS will treat up to
57 gallons per minute - max 20' head pressure.
Unique water circulation design eliminates the need
for separato neutralization tank.
•1.5" quick connect fittings on inlet and return
for easy hook-up, The standard unit Is equipped with
2-30'sections of f .5" flexible hose with quick connect
fittings. Inlet and outlet fittings at the basin or lagoon
Are per our specifications.
-Unit is shipped completely assembled. The
chCmlcal controller is preprogrammed to maintain a
pH of 7.5. Just attach hoses and PVC fittings.

Practice Stnlidards and Specificafloits
Definition A small, temporary ponding basin formed by an embankment or excavation
to capture sediment.
PurpoSe To detain sediment laden nrneff and trap the sediment to protect receiving
streams, lakes, drainage systems, and protect adjacent property.
Conditions Where Specific criteria for installation of temporary sedimenatrop are as follows:
Practice Applies • At the outlets of diversions, channels, slope drains, or other runoff
conveyances that discharge sediment -laden water.
• Below areas that are draining 5 acres or less.
• Where access can be mnintained for sediment removal and proper
disposal.
• In the approach to a stormwater inlet located below a distntbed area as
part of an inlet protection system.
• Structure life limited to 2 years.
A temporary sediment trap should not be located in in intermittent or
Perennial stream.
Planning Select locations for sediment traps during site evaluation. Mote naturai
Considerations drainage divides and select trap sites so that runoff from potential sediment•
producing areas can easily be diverted into the traps. Ensure the drainage
areas for each trap does not excccd 5 acres. Install temporary sediment traps
before land disturbing takes place within the drainage area.
Make traps readily accessible for periodic sediment removal and other
necessary maintenance. Plan locations for sediment disposal as part of trap
site selection. Clearly designate all disposal areas on the plans.
In preparing plans for sediment traps, it is important to consider provisions to
}protect the embanlauent from failure from storm runoff that exceeds the design
capacity. Locate bypass outlets so that flow will not damage the embankment.
Direct emergency bypasses to undisturbed natural, stable areas. tfa bypass is
not possible and failure would have severe consequences, consider alternative
Sites.
Sediment trapping is achieved primarily by settling within a pool formed by
an embankment. The sediment pool may also be formed by excavation, or by
a combination of excavation and embankment, Sediment -trapping efficiency
is a function of surface area and inflow rate (Practice 6.61, Sediment Basin),
Therefore, maximize the surface area in the design. Because porous babes
improve flow distribution across the basin, high length to width ratios are not
necessary to reduce short circuiting and to optimize efficiency.
Because .well planned scilLnent traps are key measures to preventing off -
site sedimentation, they should be installed in the first stages of project
development.

Storage capacity --Provide a minimum volume of 3600 ft'lacre of distrurbed
area draining into the basin. Required storage volume may also be determined
by modeling the soil loss with the Revised Universal Soil loss Equation or
other acceptable methods. Measure volume to the crest elevation of the stone
spillway outlet,
Trap cleanout—Remove sWiment front tho trap, and restore the capactty
to original trap dimensions when sediment has accumulated to one-half the
design depth.
Trap etticieney---The following design elements must be provided for
adequate trapping efficiency:
Provide a surface area of 0.01 acres (435 square feet) per cfs based on the
10-year storm;
• Convey runoff into the basin through stable diversions or temporary slope
drains;
Locate sediment inflow to the basin away from the dam to prevent short
circuits from inlets to the outlet;
• Provide porous baffles (Practice 6.65, Porous Baffles);
• Excavate 1.5 feet of the depth of the basin below grade, and provide
miniimun storage depth of2.feet above grade.
Embankment Ensure that embankments for temporary sediment traps do
not exceed 5 feet in height. Measure from the center line of the original ground
surface to the top of the embankment. Keep the crest of the spillway outlet
a minimum of 1.5 feet below the settled top of the embankment. Freeboard
may be added to the embankment height to ailmv flow through a designated
bypass location. Construct embankments with a minimum top width of feet
and side slopes of 2.1 or batter. Machine compact embankments.
Excavation —Where sediment pools are formed or enlarged by excavation,
keep side slopes at 2:1 or flatter for safety.
Outlet sect lotz-Construct the sediment trap outlet using a stone section of
the embankment located at the. low point in the basin. The stone section serves
two purposes: (1) the top section serves as a Iron -erosive spillway outlet for
flood flows; and (2) the bottom section provides a means of dewatering the
basin behveen runoff events.
Ston a size- Construct the outlet using well -graded stones with a ds, size of 9
inches (Class 3 erosion control stone is recornmended,) and a maximum stone
6.60.2 Rm 6106
Practice Standards amd Specicatiotis
size of 14 inches. The entire upstream face of the rock structure should be
covered with fine gravel (NCDOT #57 or #5 wash stone) a minijnum of 1 foot
thick to reduce the drainage rate.
Side slopes --Keep the side slopes of the spillway section at 2:1 or flatter.
To protect the embankment, keep the sides of the spillway at feast 21 inches
thick.
Depth The basin should be excavated 1.5 feet Wow grade.
Stone spillway height —"The sediment storage depth should be a minimum of
2 feet and a maximum of 3.5 feet above grade.
Protection from pipng—Place filter cloth on the foundation below the riprap
to prevent piping. An alternative would be to excavate a kcyivay trench across
the rlprap foundation and up the sides to the height of the dam,
Weir length and depth —Keep the spillway weir at least 4 feet long and sized
to pass the peak discharge of the 10-year storm {Figure 6.60a). A maximum
flow depth of six inches, a minimurn freeboard of I foot, and maximum side
slopes of 2:1 are recommended. Weir length may be selected from Table 6.60a
shown for most site locations in North Carolina.

Construction i. Clear,grub, and strip the area under the embankmentofall vegetation and
Specifications root mat. Remove all surface soil containing high amounts of organic matter,
and stockpile or dispose of it properly. Haul all objectionable material to the
designated disposal area.
2. Ensure that fill material for the embankment is free of roots, ,woody
vegetation, organic matter, and other objectionable material. Place the fill in
lifts not to exceed 9 inches, and machine compact it. Over fill the embankment
6 inches to allow for settlement.
3. Construct the outlet section in the embankment. Protect the connection
between the riprap and the soil from piping by using filter fabric or a keyway
cutoff trench behveen the riprap stricture and soil.
• Place the filter fabric between the riprap and the soil. Extend the fabric
across the spillway foundation and sides to the top of the darn; or
• Excavate a keyway trench along the center fine of the spillway foundation
extending up the sides to the height of the darn. The trench should be at
least 2 feet deep and 2 feet wide with 1:1 side slopes.
4. Clear the pond area below the elevation of the crest of the spillway to
facilitate sedimeat cleanout.
5. All cut and fill slopes should be 2:1 cr flatter.
6. Ensure that the stone (drainage) section of the embankment has a
minimum bottom width of 3 feet and maximum side slopes of 1:1 that extend
to the bottom of the spillway section.
7. Construct the minimum finished stone spillway bottom width, as shown
on the plans, with 21.1 side slopes extending to the top of the over filled
embaD msent. Keep the thickness of the, sides of the spillway outlet structure
at a minimum of 21 inches, The weir must be level and coastructed to
grade to assure design capacity.
S. Matuiai used in the stone section should be a well -graded mixture of stone
with a d, size of 9 inches (class 13 erosion control stone is recommended) and
a maximun► stone size of 14 inches. The stone may be machine placed and the
smaller stunts worked into the voids of the larger stones. The stone should be
hard, angular, and highly weather -resistant.
9. Discharge inlet water into the basin in a manner to prevent erosion, Use
temporary slope drains or diversions with outlet protection to divert sediment -
laden water to the upper end of the pool area to improve basin trap efficiency
(References: Runoff Control Aleasures and Outlet Protection).
Rev, 6106
r Practice Standards and Specifications
10, Ensure that the stone spillway outlet section extends downstream past the
toe of the embatkment until stable conditions are reached and outlet velocity
is acceptable for the receiving strearn. Keep the edges of the stone outlet
section flush with the surrounding ground, and shape the center to confine the
outflow stream (References. Outlet Proteaiiom).
11. Direct emergency bypass to natural, stable areas. Locate bypass outlets
so that flow will not damage the embankment.
12. Stabilize the embankment and all disturbed areas above the sediment pool
and downstream from the trap immediately after construction (References:
Surface Stabilization).
13. Show the distance from the top of the spillway to the sediment cleanout
level (1/2 the design depth) on the plans and mark it in the field.
14, Install porous bafiliea as specified in Practice 6.65, Porous Raffles,
Maintenance inspect temporary sediment traps at least weekly and after each sippaificant (%
inch or greater) rainfall event and repair immediately. Remove sediment, and
restore the trap to its original dimensions when the sediment has acciunulated
to one-half the design depth of the trap. Place the sediment that is removed in
the designated disposal area, and replace the part of the gravel facing that is
impaired by sediment.
Check the stricture for damage from erosion or piping. Periodically check the
l� depth of the spillway to ensure it is a minimum of 1.5 feet below the low point
of the -embankment: immediately fill any settlement of the embankment to
slightly above design grade. Any riprap displaced from the spillway must
be replaced immediately.
After all sediment -producing areas have been permancntly stabilized, remove
the structure and all unstable sediment. Smooth the area to blend with the
adjoining areas, and stabilize property (References: Srface Stabilization).

CONFIRM RETENTION TIME FOR SETTLING PURPOSES
This skimmer basin is designed for the 10 Year - 5 Minute Storm. Any storm Intensity beyond
this design event could overwhelm the system. However, such inflow would still be treated by
this basin. All storm water will be channeled into the basin and be forced to flow its entire
length. Water escaping the system via the emergency spillway will be free of any large
suspended particles, and depending upon time spent in the basin the majority of the suspended
fines should also settle.
For suitability purposes only the smallest particles from each of the Drainage Areas will be
analyzed. From the plant yard it is anticipated that "Very Fine" sands lost from the aggregate
stockpiles would be the smallest suspended particles introduced into the stormwater basin.
Then, from the grassed field the smallest particles would be expected to be silts & clays eroded
from any exposed surfaces.

Conclusions
This system is adequate to suspend any particles lost from the plant yard itself. However,
there could be some particles from the Grass Field that may not be able to adequately settle out
prior to being released from the system. Since Clays are so small they require extremely
long retention times in order to completely settle, which are not feasible to reach during storm
events.
The only way to ensure that the amount of suspended clays flowing out of the system is within
a tolerable level is to prevent their introduction to the system. It is recommended that ground
cover is provided anywhere there are exposed & erodible soils. It is also beneficial to slow all
flowing water with rock check dams so that erosion does not occur in ditchlines.
The combination of this Skimmer Basin and the BMP`s discussed above will produce an effective
stormwater treatment system.

•
uniective:
Lane Construction has proposed to construct and operate a temporary portable concrete
batch plant to facilitate the construction of the above referenced project. Given the provided
technical information regarding concrete plant operations, specific to this plant and project,
the volume of "Wash Water" needs to be calculated and a treatment system needs to be
designed.
Wash Water:
There are two sources of "Wash Water." The first being the water used to wash out the beds
of the wet batch hauling concrete dump trucks after each load. This operation is completed
by spraying the truck bed with a fire hose. The wash water then flows from the truck bed into
the washout pit. Once the washout pit fills, washwater will be skimmed from the surface with a
pump and reused to spray out truck beds. (This is done as a water conservation effort.)
The second source of wash water is the water that is used to clean the plant's mixing drum upon
completion of each shift and as needed throughout the shift. This operation is completed by
spraying the drum, letting it, mix then dumping the wash water into a loader bucket for
transport to the washout pit.

Setup ana oetan of i reatment
The Wash Water will contain waste concrete and as such there will be Suspended Solids.
Concrete is a mixture of Course Aggregate (Stone), Fine Aggregate (Sand), Cement
and Water. The aggregates will settle out of the wash water almost instantly and be
deposited at the base of the system. However, the cement will require a much greater
settling time due to its average particle size being quite small. It is this cement particle that
this water treatment system is designed for.
As detailed on the plan sheet, this system will employ three basins which will work in series.
The first basin is the "Washout Pit" which is where all the aggregates will settle out of the
wash water, leaving only the cement particles to flow into basin 2 which is the "Settling Basin."
The "Settling Basin" is where the fine particles (Cement) will settle out of suspension. As
designed, this basin is to have a 4:1 Length to Width Ratio in order to maximize the amount
of time required for wash water to flow through the basin. Being that the settling time in this
basin is so imperative, baffles are also to be installed to ensure that "Short Circuiting" is not
possible. (Four Baffies are to be installed dividing this basin into Five equal size chambers.)
From the "Settling Basin" the wash water will move into basin 3 which is the "PH Reduction"
basin. Since cement is very alkaline (pH 12-13) it is necessary to monitor and control the wash
water prior to it's release from this system. A "Fortran" system will be setup at basin 3 which
will ensure that pH levels are acceptable prior to release. (Please see the manufacturers
specifications, which are included in the Appendix, for details and performance expectations)
Upon release from the "pH Reduction" basin wash water will then disperse and flow across
approximately 200' of undisturbed grass field prior to reaching its receiving water, which is an
unnamed tributary of the Cape Fear River Basin.
it is also noteworthy that each basin will be connected by a "Rock Sediment Dam." These BMP
structures employ wide weir's which allow for a thin layer of surface water to slowly move
between each basin. The main purpose of a sediment dam is to "skim" the surface water
(cleanest water) from the upstream basin and allow it move on to the next basin in the series.
This "skimming" characteristic is essential for the proper operation of this system. It
essentially works to trap the smallest particles (cement) that are suspended in the wash water.
These tiny cement particles range in size with its smallest particle being only 1 Micron in
diameter. The retention time required to completely settle out a 1 Micron particle is
extremely difficult to provide. However, creating a system that traps these minute particles is
much more feasible. This system is designed to trap suspended particles in each basin, the
smallest of which will be trapped and eventually settled out in basin 2, the "Settling Basin."

Analyze Settlement of Particles too Fine to Completely Settle Out
Realistically most of the suspended cement particles have settled out in the Washout Pit.
Then, an additional amount of suspended cement settled out at the Rock Sediment Dam.
However, for an increased factor of safety the analysis of basin 2 is to be performed with the
assumption that all suspended cement has passed from basin 1 into basin 2.

Total Settling Time Provided by Basin 2: 11.21 Days * Calculated Previously
Therefore:
1.5 Micron sized particles are the largest that might not completely settle out.
These particles will need to be "Trapped" to prevent them from moving on.
Settling Required to Ettectively "Trap" Suspended Particles
Depth of Basin (At outlet Weir): 3 Ft Length of Basin: 200 Ft
Assuming that flow is spread equally across width of basin (Baffles should ensure this) settling
time of suspended particles will have a linear correlation to Basin Length. For an added
factor of safety assume that all suspended particles need to have settled at least one third of the
total weir depth to be considered effectively "trapped."
Settled depth of Smallest "Trapped" Particle (1 Micron) at Weir: 1 Ft
Retention time required to settle a 1 Micron particle to this depth: 11.38 Days

This System is Designed to effectively treat the wash water for a concrete plant
running at Daily Production Rate of 2,000 CY. The outflowing wash water from this
plant setup will be in conformance with the NCDENR allowable limits for pH, TSS & SS. D�
This is a temporary concrete plant setup which exists only to service an NCDQT
project. As such, the production rate of 2000 CY/Day will only be achieved a limited
number of times during its lifespan (Less than 2 yrs.). It should be expected that this
system of containment basins will be dry for approximately 70% of their existence.
During these dry periods there will be no outflowing wash water at all.
(Zero TSS, SS, and no pH to Consider)
The Fortran System will be installed to treat the outflowing wash water which will
develop during high production intervals. Since these high production intervals are
anticipated to be infrequent the "pH reduction" basin will be dry for the majority of its
existence. During times where the "pH Reduction" basin is dry, the installed Fortran
System will be inactive.
The wash out basin shall be inspected daily during high production intervals and be
cleaned as necessary. It is important that aggregates and settled fines do not impair
the effectiveness of the Rock Sediment Dam leading into the Settling Basin.
Accumulated aggregates and settled fines shall be properly removed and disposed of
by the Lane.
The settling basin shall be inspected regularly and maintained as necessary. It is
important to ensure that the installed baffles are functioning properly (spreading flow
across width of basin). Replace/Repair any deficient baffles as necessary. Settled
fines are to be removed by Lane as frequently as possible (When dry) to reduce
the risk of their re -introduction into system. At a minimum, settled fines are to be
removed when any basin chamber is 20% full.

PROJECT: U-2524
DESCRIPTION: Greensboro Western Urban Loop Project
SUBJECT / TASK: Calculate Stormwater Runoff from Concrete Plant Site & Design Treatment System
CALCULATED BY: RML
DATE: 7/20/2015
Ubjective:
Lane Construction has proposed to construct and operate a temporary portable concrete
batch plant to facilitate the construction of the above referenced project. Given the provided
layout for this plant site, it is necessary to design and size a stormwater management system.
As detailed on the plan sheet, this system will utilize diversions to channel runoff and
sediment basins to contain & treat that runoff.

CONFIRM RETENTION TIME FOR SETTLING PURPOSES
This skimmer basin is designed for the 10 Year - 5 Minute Storm. Any storm Intensity beyond
this design event could overwhelm the system. However, such inflow would still be treated by
this basin. All storm water will be channeled into the basin and be forced to flow its entire
length. Water escaping the system via the emergency spillway will be free of any large
suspended particles, and depending upon time spent in the basin the majority of the suspended
fines should also settle.
For suitability purposes only the smallest particles from each of the Drainage Areas will be
analyzed. From the plant yard it is anticipated that "Very Fine" sands lost from the aggregate
stockpiles would be the smallest suspended particles introduced into the stormwater basin.
Then, from the grassed field the smallest particles would be expected to be silts & clays eroded
from any exposed surfaces.

Conclusions
This system is adequate to suspend any particles lost from the plant yard itself. However,
there could be some particles from the Grass Field that may not be able to adequately settle out
prior to being released from the system. Since Clays are so small they require extremely
long retention times in order to completely settle, which are not feasible to reach during storm
events.
The only way to ensure that the amount of suspended clays flowing out of the system is within
a tolerable level is to prevent their introduction to the system. It is recommended that ground
cover is provided anywhere there are exposed & erodible soils. It is also beneficial to slow all
flowing water with rock check dams so that erosion does not occur in ditchlines.
The combination of this Skimmer Basin and the BMP's discussed above will produce an effective
stormwater treatment system.

Objective:
Lane has been contracted to perform 3 miles of interstate concrete paving work for the NCDOT
Greensboro Western Loop project. It is the intention of Lane to erect and operate a portable temporary
concrete central mix batch plant to provide concrete solely for this project. Being that this project is
extremely fast track in nature the concrete plant that is being presented in this application will have a
very short operational duration. Upon completion of the concrete paving in 2016, this batch plant will
be removed and the site will be restored.

Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan
For Temporary Concrete Batch Plant
Background
Lane has been contracted to perform 3 miles of interstate concrete paving work for the NCDOT
Greensboro Western Loop project. This project requires that approximately 50,000 cubic yards of
concrete be produced and placed into the new roadway, in order to facilitate this construction, a
temporary portable concrete batch plant will be erected on NCDOT property adjacent to the
roadway alignment. The physical address of this location is 2149 Fleming Road, Greensboro NC
27410.
The concrete plant that is being proposed in this application will exist solely to provide concrete
for the Greensboro Western Loop Construction Project. As scheduled this entire project will be
completed by March 14, 2018 and the concrete plant will be removed in advance of this date. f
is anticipated that this plant will only be in this location for 12 months and during that time it will
only be active during intervals of concrete paving. Upon the completion of concrete paving this
plant will be removed and the site will be restored.
O Waste Water Generated
There will be four different types of waste water generated at this site which need to be analyzed.
The first will come from the cleaning of the concrete hauling units. Dump trucks will be utilized to
haul the wet concrete and will need to have their dump bodies rinsed out after each load. This
water will combine with the concrete that is rinsed out of the dump body and will contain all the
elements of the concrete (Sand, Stone & Cement). No other cleaning or repair of these vehicles
will occur at this site.
The second waste water generated will be the wash water produced after cleaning the plant's
mixing drum. The composition of this water will be the same as that produced during the dump
truck rinsing operation. This cleaning of the mixing drum will occur upon of the completion of
each shift and also as necessary throughout the shift.
The third waste water generated will be the water used to wet the raw aggregate stockpiles.
These stockpiles will be watered consistently during concrete production operations. Water that
flows from these stockpiles will contain suspended fine particles that have escaped from the
stockpiles.
The final waste water generated at this site is storm water runoff. Currently the site is being
developed by the prime contractor and will need to be stabilized prior to the concrete plant being
setup. Once the area is stabilized the amount of runoff becomes much greater and has the
potential to create erosion.

Waste Water Control & Treatment
In order to effectively treat the waste water generated by this setup it must first be collected and
brought into the appropriate containment areas. As designed the treatment plan for this site will
separate storm water runoff from concrete wash water. The site will be graded and diversion
ditch lines will be established to ensure that storm water will flow into the southernmost basin
while the concrete wash water will be introduced into its own series of basins. This separation
will allow for a higher total system factor of safety.
The Stormwater Basin will be a "Skimmer" basin which is a BMP device designed to retain the
flow from a storm event and slowly dewater by skimming the surface water. This basin is 100%
effective in retaining all large particles that may be suspended in the storm water runoff. It is
anticipated that any particles originating from the plant yard itself will be relatively large (Fine
Sands) and easily collected in this basin. The remainder of the drainage area at this plant site is
a grassed field which could introduce silts and clays into the runoff. Any silt particles will easily
settle out in this skimmer basin. However, due to the ultra -fine particle size of clays if introduced
into the system these particles could potentially pass through prior to settling out. Settling time
is not realistically achievable for ultra -fine particles such as clays and as such the best treatment
method for these particles is to prevent their introduction into the system. This prevention is
most easily achieved by confirming the adequacy of the established ground cover. Any
disturbed soil must be vegetated to eliminate exposed erodible surfaces. Rock "Check Dams"
will also be utilized to slow the storm water as it flows toward the skimmer basin which will also
help to reduce the potential risk of erosion.
The Concrete Wash Water will be introduced into its own series of basins designed to effectively
settle all suspended particles and also to ensure that the pH of the outflowing water is within the
acceptable range. To do this, three basins will be created. The first basin in the series is the
"Washout Pit" where the dump trucks will be sprayed and the concrete will be directly mixed into
O the system. This is also the location where wash water from the mixing drum will be transported
to. The second basin is to be the "Settling Basin" which is a very large retention basin sized to
provide adequate settling time to ensure that the fine particles have settled out prior to outflowing
into the final basin. The third basin is the "pH Reduction Basin" which is where a Fortran
System will be installed to monitor and regulate the pH of the wash water.
Predicted Maximums and System Performance
The storm water treatment system has been designed for the Ten Year rain event following the
NC Division of Land Quality Requirements. For the total accumulated drainage areas for this site
(1.9 AC plant site and 3.15 AC grassed field) the expected flow rate from this storm event would
be 22.3 CFS.
The concrete wash water treatment system has been designed for a concrete plant running at a
regular maximum production of 2,000 CY per day. This volume will result in a wash water flow of
approximately 2500 CFID. In actuality this production rate will only be achieved a limited number
of times on this project. However, it is important to calculate the waste water treatment system
based upon the project maximums and not the averages.
Upon release from either treatment system (Storm or Wash) the TSS and SS levels in the
outflowing water will be less than the established limits (30 mg1I and 5 mlll respectively), and the
pH will be within the acceptable 6-9 range.

Maintenance of System
All water treatment devices will be evaluated on a bi-weekly basis, and after any event resulting in
0.5" of precipitation or greater_ Any damage to the devices will be repaired immediately and any
sediment that has been built up will be removed routinely. This system has been designed to
allow for easy access and maintenance which will help to ensure that it functions property.
During intervals where the concrete plant is active the wash water basins will be inspected on a
daily basis. It is anticipated that at a minimum the "Washout Pit" will require routine cleaning
during these intervals. The aggregates that will accumulate in this basin will begin to impact the
function of the system if they are allowed to build up. It is the responsibility of Lane to ensure
that this buildup of materials is removed on a timely basis.
Summary
The purpose of this treatment system is to effectively treat both the Stormwater and the
Wastewaters produced from this concrete plant site. This treatment system has been used
successfully at previous sites for concrete batch plants, most recently this exact plant and
treatment methodology was used for a similar NCDOT project in Davidson County (Lane
Construction, 2011). The rules and guidelines set forth by general permit NCG 140000 will be
strictly adhered to and 8MP's will be employed. Any questions regarding the operation of this
facility can be directed to the facility contact noted in the application,

PURPOSE
G.C. Environmental, Inc., was contracted to provide an engineers review and certification that The
Model 5000-S pH Monitor and Control System manufactured by Coastal Carolina Supply in
Morehead City, NC, could effectively provide on a continuous basis, an average pl-1 range of 6-9 units
on the supernatc layer of a stormwater/rinse water sedimentation basin typically found at Redi-mix
concrete facilifle%,
SCOPE OF WORK
During the week of August 11, 2003, G.C. Environmental, Inc., witnessed the operation of -tile Model
5000-5 self-contained pH Monitoring and Control System at a Kcdi-tvix plant located in Durham, NC.
During the two (2) day test program, measurements were made within the facilities swrmwatWrinsc
water sedimentation basin I'orpl-1, temperature and depth (both supornate and sludge), During the#ir,t
day of testing, the basin was found to be heavily loaded with solids and adjustments were made to the
solids blanket to complete testing, the following day,
TEST MCA41000LOGY
A primary sedimentation basin located at a Redi-mix concrete plant located in Durham, NC was
treated utilizing the Model 5000•-.S pH Monitor- and Control System, During; the test program, the
basin was, on a semi -continuous basis, being fed rinse water from the exterior cleaning of comcnt
trucks. Measurements for pH, temperature, supornate and sludge blankets were made within the
Sedimentation basin, Initial pl-1 measurements showed pl-I levels of at least 12.0 units. The
sedimentation basin was rectangular in shape with concrete walls and bottom, The basin ranged in
depth of I" at the inlet to approximately Y at the deepest poitx. Sludge measurements within the basin
showed that at least 2/3 or the basins depth was comprised of sludge and lho remainder supernate.
The Modal 5000-5 p1-1 Monitor and Control System was set up atlhe rcc;tanbular sedimentation basin
with the intake and discharge hoses situated at opposite ends of the basin. Both the intake and
discharge litres were sat at depths within the supernate layer of the Basin. A clockwise How pattern
was established once the unit began operation and pt-I and temperature measurements were made at
several locations throughout the supornate layer of tile sedimentation basin. Approximately eighteen
(18) pII and tcrnperature measurements were collected with a mean pH value of .-5-9 and mean
temperature values of 3�094 'C. The pH systern wa4 Ieft to run essentially on a continuous hagis over
a four (4) hour period. An cstimatcd volume existing within the sedimentation basin was 25, 000
gallons with a little over 8000 gallons consisting of relatively clear supematc. The amount of 25%
Sulfuric acid (H,.SO,) used to treat the sedimentation bw%in:i tiupernato was approximately 18-20
gullvnw.
MODEL 5000-5 PH MONITOR AND CONTROL, SYSTEM
The model 5000-5 pH Monitor and Control System is comprised ora Hayward Power Mow 11 (314
hp, 56 GPM) centrifugal pump which delivers raw water to a completely contained pH sensor
connected to a p.Fl meter equipped with control relays which operate two (2) stenner (60 CrPD) acid
injection pumps. The Acid 25% 1-12SO, is injected into the pump dischargo line which empties into the
sedimentation buMn. Sulruric acid is delivered to the system by 15 gallon earbuoys located outside of
the fiberglass weatherproof enclosure which houses all of the aforementioned equipment. On top of
rho enclosed is an alarm light which is tied into the p1-1 meter which is activated when pH levels exceed
8,5 pH units or are below 6.0 units.
CONCLUSION
1, The Model 5000-5 pl i Monitor and Control System is an ci ective system for the pH balancing of
sedimentation basins which arc used to collect vormwater runoff and rinse water, commonly round
at Rcd-mix concrete plants.
2. During the test prograrn an average pH of 8.54 units was measured in the subject sedimentation
basin with u range of'7.95 to 9.34 measured,
3. Sludge levels existing within the rectangular sedimentation ranged from 6.0 inches to 2.0 feet. PH
values after PH stabilization at the sludge/superna.te interflace were approximately 12.0 units
4. For this test program, approximately 180 mg/1 of sulfates were added to the sedimentation basin as
a result of pi -I Adjustment with 25% sulruric acid.
5. The 5000-5 pH Monitor And Control System is fully automated and provides a pH adjusted waste
water which could effectively he reused within the Redi-mix concrete industry.

FORTRANS pH CONTROL. SYSTEMS
FORTRANS pH CONTROL SYSTEMS are
completely automatic. They continually monitor/test
the pH of the inlluent water and compares It to the
pH setting of the control unit. if a change in pH is
detected, the controller activates the solenoid valve
for the CO2. The pH adjustment chemical Is then fed
to the return side of the circulation pump until the
pH is again at the proper level set at the controller.
The unit will continuously circulate the water until a
change In pH is detected and the treatment cycle
begins once again. The unit also features a digital
pH meter connected to a probe In the sample cell
to ensure unit is functioning properly and that the
correct pH level is maintained.
The pH CONTROL SYSTEMS are designed io
treat and maintain a specified pH level in a body of
water usually 100,000 gallons or less to allow the
permitted discharge of treated water to the
environment. Permits must be obtained from the
local governing agency to allow any discharge to the
environment. Treated water may be used for wetting
of rock and/or dust control to aid compliance with
stormwater run off regulations. Treated water may
also be used In water recycling systems.
These systems offers precise monitoring and
control of the PH In settling basins, lagoons and
other outfall containment devices.
-The pH CONTROL SYSTEMS will treat up to
57 gallons per minute - max 20" head pressure.
Unique water circulation design eliminates the need
for separate neutralizatlon tank.
•1.5" quick connect fittings on inlet and return
for easy hook-up, The standard unit is equipped with
2-30' sections of 1.5" flexible hose with quick connect
fittings. Inlet and outlet fittings at the basin or lagoon
are per our specifications.
-Unit is shipped completely assembled. The
chemical controller is preprogrammed to maintain a
pH of 7.5. Just attach hoses and PVC fittings.
-1 year warranty on all component parts
and housing.

Practice Standards andSpecifications
Definition A small, terporary ponding basin formed by an embankment or excavation
to capture sediment.
Purpose To detain sediment -laden runoff and trap the sediment to protect receiving
streams, lakes, drainage systems, and protect adjacent property,
Conditions Where specific criteria for installation of a temporary sediment trap are as follows;
Practice Applies • At the outlets of diversions, channels, slope drains, or other runoff
conveyances that discharge sediment -laden water.
• Below areas that are draining 5 acres or less.
• Where access can be maintained for sediment removal and proper
disposal.
• In the approach to a stormwater inlet located below a disturbed area as
part of an. inlet protection system.
• Structure life limited to 2 years.
A temporary sediment trap should not be located in an interraiiient or
Perennial stream.
Planning Select locations for sediment traps during site evaluation. Dote natural
Considerations drainage divides and select trap sites so that ruaofl'frorn potential sedinieni-
producing areas cart easily be diverted into the traps., Ensure the drainage
areas for each trap does not exceed 5 acres. Install temporary sediment traps
before land disturbing takes place within the drainage area.
Make traps readily accessible for periodic sediment removal and other
necessary maintenance. Plan locations for sediment disposal as part of trap
site selection. Clearly designate all disposal areas on the plans.
In preparingpians for sediment traps, it is important to consider provisions to
protect the embanktent from failure from storm runoff that exceeds the design
capacity. Locate bypass outlets so that flow will not damage fate embankment.
Direct emergency bypasses to undisturbed natural, stable areas. If a bypass is
not possible and failure would have severe consequences, consider alternative
sites.
Sediment trapping is achieved primarily by settling within a pool formed by
an embankment. The sediment pool may also be formed by excavation, or by
a combination of excavation and embankment. Sediment -trapping efficiency
is a function of surface area and inflow rate (Practice 6.61, Sediment Basin),
Therefore, maximize the surface area irk the design. Because porous baffies
improve flow distribution across the basin, high length to width ratios are not
necessary to reduce short-circuiting and to optimize efficiency.
Because well planned sediment traps are key measures to preventing off-
site sedimentation, they should be installed in the first stages of project
development.

keep side slopes at 2:1 or flatter for safety.
Outlet section —Construct the sediment trap outlet using a stone section of
the embankment located at the low point hi the basin. The stone section serves
two purposes: (1) the top section serves as a non -erosive spillway outlet for
flood flows; and (2) the bottom section provides a means ofdewatering the
basin between runoff events.
Stone size --Construct the outlet using well -graded stones ivith a d59 size of 9
inches (Class B erosion control stone is recommended) and a maximum stone

size of I4 inches. The entire upstream face of the rack structure should be
covered with fine gravel (NCDOT #57 or #5 wash stone) a minimuru of I foot
thick to reduce the drainage rate.
Side slopes —Keep the side slopes of the spillway section at 2:1 or flatter.
To protect the embankment, keep the sides of the spillway at least 21 inches
thick.
Depth —The basin should be excavated 1.5 feet below grade.
Stone spillway height—Tbo sediment storage depth should be a minimum of
2 feet and a maximurn of 3.5 feet above grade.
Protection from plpiflgm--Place filter cloth on the foundation below the riprap
to prevent piping. An alternative would be to excavate a keyway trench across
the riprap foundation and up the sides to the height of the dam.
Weir length and depth —Keep the spillway weir at ]east 4 feet long and sized
to pass the peak discharge of the 10-year storm (Mgure 6.60a). A maximurn
flow depth of six inches, a minimum freeboard of 1 foot, and maximum side
slopes of 2:1 are recommended. Weir length pray be selected from "fable 6.60a

and stock -pile or dispose of it properly. Haul all objectionable material to the
designated disposal area.
2. Ensure that fill material for the embankment is free of roots, woody
vegetation, organic matter, and other objectionable material. Place the fill in
lifts not to exceed 9 inches, and machine compact it. over till the embankment
6 inches to allow for settlement.
3. Construct the outlet section in the embankment. Protect the connection
between the riprap and the soil from piping by using filter fabric or a keyway
cutoff trench between the riprap structure and soil.
• Place the filter fabric between the riprap and the soil. Extend the fabric
across the spilhvay foundation and sides to the top of the dam; or
• Excavate a keyway trench along the center fine of the spillway foundation
extending up the sides to the height of the darn. The trench should be. at
least 2 feet deep and 2 feet wide with 1:1 side slopes.
4. Clear the pond area below the elevation of the crest of the spillway to
facilitate sediment cleanout.

SUBJECT / TASK: Calculate "Wash Water" Volume from Concrete Plant Operations & Design Treatment System
El

CALCULATED BY: RML
DATE: 7/20/2015
Lane Construction has proposed to construct and operate a temporary portable concrete
batch plant to facilitate the construction of the above referenced project. Given the provided
technical information regarding concrete plant operations, specific to this plant and project,
the volume of "Wash Water" needs to be calculated and a treatment system needs to be
designed.
Wash Water:
There are two sources of "Wash Water." The first being the water used to washout the beds
of the wet batch hauling concrete dump trucks after each load. This operation is completed
by spraying the truck bed with a fire hose. The wash water then flows from the truck bed into
the washout pit. Once the washout pit fills, wastewater will be skimmed from the surface with a
pump and reused to spray out truck beds. (This is done as a water conservation effort.)
The second source of wash water is the water that is used to clean the plant's mixing drum upon
completion of each shift and as needed throughout the shift. This operation is completed by
spraying the drum, letting it mix then dumping the wash water into a loader bucket for
transport to the washout pit.

and Detaki of Treatment
The Wash Water will contain waste concrete and as such there will be Suspended Solids.
Concrete is a mixture of Course Aggregate (Stone), Fine Aggregate (Sand), Cement
and Water. The aggregates will settle out of the wash water almost instantly and be
deposited at the base of the system. However, the cement will require a much greater
settling time due to its average particle size being quite small. It is this cement particle that
this water treatment system is designed for.
As detailed on the plan sheet, this system will employ three basins which will work in series.
The first basin is the "Washout Pit" which is where all the aggregates will settle out of the
wash water, leaving only the cement particles to flow into basin 2 which is the "Settling Basin."
The "Settling Basin" is where the fine particles (Cement) will settle out of suspension. As
designed, this basin is to have a 4:1 Length to Width Ratio in order to maximize the amount
of time required for wash water to flow through the basin. Being that the settling time in this
basin is so imperative, baffles are also to be installed to ensure that "Short Circuiting" is not
possible. (Four Baffles are to be installed dividing this basin into Five equal size chambers.)
From the "Settling Basin" the wash water will move into basin 3 which is the "PH Reduction"
basin. Since cement is very alkaline (pH 12-13) it is necessary to monitor and control the wash
water prior to it's release from this system. A "Fortran" system will be setup at basin 3 which
will ensure that pH levels are acceptable prior to release. (Please see the manufacturers
specifications, which are included in the Appendix, for details and performance expectations)
Upon release from the "pH Reduction" basin wash water will then disperse and flow across
approximately 200' of undisturbed grass field prior to reaching its receiving water, which is an
unnamed tributary of the Cape Fear River Basin.
It is also noteworthy that each basin will be connected by a "Rock Sediment Dam." These BMP
structures employ wide weir's which allow for a thin layer of surface water to slowly move
between each basin. The main purpose of a sediment dam is to "skim" the surface water
(cleanest water) from the upstream basin and allow it move on to the next basin in the series.
This "skimming" characteristic is essential for the proper operation of this system. It
essentially works to trap the smallest particles (cement) that are suspended in the wash water.
These tiny cement particles range in size with its smallest particle being only 1 Micron in
diameter. The retention time required to completely settle out a 1 Micron particle is
extremely difficult to provide. However, creating a system that traps these minute particles is
much more feasible. This system is designed to trap suspended particles in each basin, the
smallest of which will be trapped and eventually settled out in basin 2, the "Settling Basin."

Realistically most of the suspended cement particles have settled out in the Washout Pit.
Then, an additional amount of suspended cement settled out at the Rock Sediment Dam.
However, for an increased factor of safety the analysis of basin 2 is to be performed with the
assumption that all suspended cement has passed from basin 1 into basin 2.

Therefore:
1.5 Micron sized particles are the largest that might not completely settle out.
These particles will need to be "Trapped" to prevent them from moving on.
Settling Required to Effectively "Trap" Suspended Particles
Depth of Basin (At outlet Weir): 3 Ft Length of Basin: 200 Ft
Assuming that flow is spread equally across width of basin (Baffles should ensure this) settling
time of suspended particles will have a linear correlation to Basin Length. For an added
factor of safety assume that all suspended particles need to have settled at least one third of the
total weir depth to be considered effectively "trapped."

This System is Designed to effectively treat the wash water for a concrete plant f 111 r I I
running at Daily Production Rate of 2,000 CY. The outflowing wash water from this
plant setup will be in conformance with the NCDENR allowable limits for pH, TS5 & S . p�
This is a temporary concrete plant setup which exists only to service an NCDOT
project. As such, the production rate of 2000 CY/Day will only be achieved a limited
number of times during its lifespan (Less than 2 yrs.). It should be expected that this
system of containment basins will be dry for approximately 70% of their existence.
During these dry periods there will be no outflowing wash water at all.
(Zero TSS, SS, and no pH to Consider)
The Fortran System will be installed to treat the outflowing wash water which will
develop during high production intervals. Since these high production intervals are
anticipated to be infrequent the "pH reduction" basin will be dry for the majority of its
existence. During times where the "pH Reduction" basin is dry, the installed Fortran
System will be inactive.
The wash out basin shall be inspected daily during high production intervals and be
cleaned as necessary. It is important that aggregates and settled fines do not impair
the effectiveness of the Rock Sediment Dam leading into the Settling Basin.
Accumulated aggregates and settled fines shall be properly removed and disposed of
by the Lane.
The settling basin shall be inspected regularly and maintained as necessary. It is
important to ensure that the installed baffles are functioning properly (spreading flow
across width of basin). Replace/Repair any deficient baffles as necessary. Settled
fines are to be removed by Lane as frequently as possible (When dry) to reduce
lie the risk of their re -introduction into system. At a minimum, settled fines are to be
removed when any basin chamber is 20% full.
