Inspection Summary:
On 9/26/2024,Denise Bruce and Melissa Joyner with DEMLR met at the facility with Kevin Tobin of BV Hedrick Sand and
Gravel Company for a compliance evaluation.We began our evaluation by viewing the outfall for the mine.The outfall was
discharging at the time of the inspection and appeared to be clear. Maintenance activities near the outfall were noted.The
slopes near the outfall had been graded to allow more vegetation to grow. In the office we went over the Stormwater
Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP). The plan did not have the following items: a detailed map with outfall locations drainage
area, a list of significant spills from the last three years and a copy of the permit. We advised Mr.Tobin that these items
would need to be added to the SWPPP.At the time of the inspection the facility had not conducted qualitative analysis on a
quarterly basis. Discharge monitoring reports(DMR's)have been submitted on a semi-annual basis. We advised Mr.Tobin
that the new permit requires quarterly monitoring at least 30 days apart.
Denise Bruce reviewed the location of the outfall at the office. Denise Bruce discovered that the outfall for Richardson mine
appears to be located outside of the property boundary owned by BV Hedrick Gravel and Sand company.When revising the
new map please verify that all mining activity including control measures and outfalls are located within the permitted mine
limits or submit appropriate permit modification request.
The facility is not in compliance with the conditions of General Permit NCG020000 and will be reinspected within 6 months
of receiving this inspection report."
