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.

Do not click links or open attachments unless you verify. Send all suspicious email as an attachment to Report Spam. 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.

Permit No.-NCG020088 5013 Denfield Street, Durham 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,. 1628 Mail Service Center Raleigh, NC 27699-1628 919-791-4200 (Telephone) Customer Service 800-623-7748 Mr. Thomas J.
