Dear Ms. Hatmaker:
A Compliance Evaluation Inspection performed at the Henrietta Quarry on October 22, 2019, by
personnel from this office verified that no industrial activity was taking place at the time of the
inspection. Your recent request to keep the NCG020783 permit, but to discontinue stormwater
monitoring was received on April 3, 2020, and is hereby approved based on the following
conditions:
• There shall be no industrial activities taking place, no stockpiles of raw materials (to include
chemical additives) stored on the site, or wastewater or stormwater industrial discharges while
the permittee is not monitoring.
• No wastewater shall be generated and all wastewater treatment units, if any, shall be cleaned
and stabilized, and inactivated as to render them harmless to the environment while the site is
dormant.
• The Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) shall be kept updated to reflect the status of
the facility. Updates and conditions of the SPPP of note are:
o The BMP Summary shall be reviewed and updated annually.
o Training programs shall be developed and training provided at least once a year for
facility personnel with responsibilities for: spill response and cleanup, preventative
maintenance activities, and for any of the facility's operations that have the potential
to contaminate stormwater runoff.
o All aspects of the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan shall be reviewed and
updated on an annual basis. The annual update shall include an updated list of
significant spills or leaks of pollutants for the previous three years, or the notation

that no spills have occurred. The annual update shall include written recertification
that the stormwater outfalls have been evaluated for the presence of nonstormwater
discharges. (Should non-stormwater discharges be discovered the permittee shall
contact this office as soon as possible but in no case greater than 24 hours or the
next business day).
o Inspections of the facility and all stormwater systems shall occur as part of the
Preventative Maintenance and Good Housekeeping Program at a minimum on a
semi-annual schedule.
• Qualitative and analytical monitoring actions as described in Part III, Sections A, B, C, D,
and E do not have to be conducted — as long as the above conditions and all other permit
conditions and limitations are met, including:
o The annual permit fee must be paid. Failure to pay the annual permit fee will be
considered a violation of the subject permit.
This office must be notified in writing and all components of the stormwater permit requiring
updates made at least 30 days prior to commencing any industrial activity on the site, even if
they are temporary.
A copy of this letter must be maintained with the facility permit and associated plans and
records for the life of the permit.
