Hi, Jack,
The Dormant Status can be accomplished with submittal of a form on-line. The information is actually under the NCG02
General Permit section of our website, just under the Qualitative Monitoring Forms. I've included a screen shot below.
Use the Dormant Status Request form for these to request/re-establish dormant status. The CO will then route the
request to the appropriate RO. The annual certification form (second one down there) is used each year thereafter. I
have attached a copy of both forms for your convenience — they need to be completed and uploaded at the link on the
website.
Dormant Status
* Attach the completed NCGO2 Dormant Status Request For 2-11 to the
S,torunwa ter U ptoad Form.
* Attach the ccrnpleteci NCG02 Dormant Status Annual Certification Form 0 to
the Stormwa ter U reload Farm.
D-3. Renewal of DDnUant Status
The permitteeshallself-recertiFy that Do rmant Status cond i tion s are being maintained
annually by completing a Dormant Status Certification Farm [available at
stormwater?. In this form. the permittee will certify that the facility is still temporarily
inactive and all portions or the site where clearing, grading and/or excavation activities
have occurred are stabilized with permanent uegetatton. This documentation shall be kept
with the SWPPP and available for inspection u pon request. The perrnittee mast request
reissuance of Dormant Status in writing by submitting a written request to the Division's
Central Office within thirty (30) days prier to the expiration or this General Permit to
maintain Dormant Status,
I hope this helps!

Bethany,
Would you help me with the following requests?
Hanson received "dormant status" for its inactive Senter Sand & Gravel Mine in 2018, and I would like to recertify for
continued reduced monitoring. Would you send me the proper form; I was unable to find it.
For our Durham Quarry, it operates as a sales yard for stone hauled in from our nearby Rougemont Quarry. The City
owns the former pit, and it uses the former pit as a water reservoir. Stormwater run-off is only affected by stockpiled
wash stone. The RRO once recommended that we rescind the permit, but Hanson has reservations about rescinding an
environmental permit. Perhaps we could apply for dormant status. I've attached the 2009 RRO stormwater inspection.
I need to make a similar request for our inactive Elm City Quarry. The attached 2015 reduced monitoring request was
never answered. A 2015 multi -media inspection is attached.
And finally, I would like to make the same request for our Lexington Quarry in Davidson County. That is a greenfield site
with no disturbance. Previous W-SRO mine and stormwater inspections are attached.

Durham County
Dear Mr. Smith:
Staff from the Division of Water Quality, Surface Water Protection of the Raleigh
Regional Office conducted a site visit to Hanson Aggregates, Durham Quarry at
5013 Denfield Street. The assistance and cooperation of Mr. Thomas Thacker
was very helpful and appreciated.
The following observations were as follow:
1. The Hanson Quarry and its perimeter has been purchased by the City of
Durham to be used as a water source for the city.
2. The site is only being used as a stockpile for pre -cleaned crushed stone
inventory for sale. The stone is taken from the Hanson Mine in Rougemont
and brought to the Denfield Street site for sale. No mining operations are
being performed at the 5013 Denfield Street location.
This site was found to have stored diesel fuel. The diesel fuel had secondary
containment. In the event of any fuel spill, Noble Oil is used for clean up.
4. Stormwater on the site is being channeled via storm drain to an unnamed
tributary to Eno River. The only stormwater exposure is stone inventory and
old machinery placed throughout the site.
The Raleigh Regional Office, surface Water Protection recommend that Hanson
Aggregates submit a request for permit rescintion for the 5013 Denfield Street
location. If rescintion of your permit is granted, Hanson Aggregates must reapply for
a Certificate of Coverage as required byNCG020000, before any mining activity is
conducted at this location,.
