Subject: COMPLIANCE EVALUATION INSPECTION — Non-Compliance Status
NPDES Stormwater General Permit NCG020000
B.V. Hedrick Gravel & Sand Company
B.V. Hedrick-Gravel Plant, Certificate of Coverage NCG020221
Anson County
Dear Mr. Conner:
On September 26, 2024, a site inspection was conducted for the B.V. Hedrick-Gravel Plant facility located
at Highway 74, Lilesville, Anson County, North Carolina. A copy of the Compliance Inspection Report is
enclosed for your review. Kevin Tobin, Assistant Land Manager, was present during the inspection and his
time and assistance is greatly appreciated. The site visit and file review revealed that the subject facility is
covered by NPDES Stormwater General Permit NCG020000 under Certificate of Coverage NCG020221.
Permit coverage authorizes the discharge of stormwater from the facility to receiving waters designated as
Island Creek, class C waters in the Yadkin River Basin.
As a result of the inspection, the facility was found to not be compliant with the conditions of the NCG020000
permit. Please refer to the enclosed Compliance Inspection Report for additional comments and
observations made during the inspection.
Please be advised that violations of the NPDES Stormwater General Permit are subject to a civil
penalty assessment of up to $25,000 per day for each violation. If you or your staff have any questions,
comments, or needs assistance with understanding any aspect of your permit, please contact me at (910)
433-3384 or via e-mail at [e-mail].
Sincerely,
Melissa Joyner

Inspection Summary:
Melissa Joyner and Denise Bruce met with Kevin Tobin, Assistant Land Manager. The Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan
(SWPPP)was reviewed with the following observations.:
1. Kevin Tobin should be added to the SWPPP Team which is implementing the SWPPP.
2. The Site Map (B-3)should include as stated per the conditions of General Permit NCG020000, items e-k.
3. The Spill Prevention and Response Procedures (SPRP)(B-10)should include items a-d.
4. The Preventative Maintenance and Good Housekeeping Program (B-11)requires quarterly, not semi-annual
documentation.
5. The weekly Best Management Practices (BMP)Inspections (B-8)were not available for review during the inspection and
will be emailed to the Inspectors.
6. Table 1 (page 4)of the SWPPP is not consistent with the Outfalls which are specified on the Qualitative Monitoring forms.
The table needs to be modified and should include the name/ID number of the mine (BV Hedrick Gravel Pit/04-03 or
Usrey-Jones Mine/04-15). It is recommended that this identification information should also be put on the Qualitative
Monitoring forms.
7. Outfall 4B no longer exists. Please notify Brittany Cook, General Permit Coordinator at [e-mail] about
this modification.
8. Qualitative and Analytical Monitoring is being conducted semi-annually instead of quarterly per the conditions in General
Permit NCG020000.A separate Qualitative Monitoring form should be completed for each individual outfall.
The facility grounds were inspected. The AST had no issues. There are two locations where Analytical and Qualitative
Monitoring occurs for all three, active industrial stormwater permits(NCG020221,NCG020259 and NCG020260). Outfall
SB-200 (BV Hedrick Gravel Pit/04-03)and the Outfall Quarry-Lower 8(BV Hedrick Gravel Pit/04-03)are the locations of
these outfalls.A new outfall pipe for SB-200 had been installed to replace the former outfall pipe which had needed repair.
There was erosion on nearby slopes which needed stabilization with permanent groundcover. The HUNS outfall
(Usrey-Jones/04-18)was being undermined. Outfall 4A(Usrey Jones/4-18) had vegetation in the riser. The berm near this
riser had erosion and needed stabilization.
This facility is non-compliant with the conditions of General Permit NCG020000 because semi-annual instead of quarterly
Qualitative and Analytical Monitoring has occurred.
