Dear Mr. Richardson:

On June 27, 2017 Glen White of the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality —
Department of Energy, Minerals & Land Resources met with you at at the subject facility,
located at 524 W. Bailey Street, Asheboro, to conduct a compliance inspection for the facilities
Industrial Stormwater Permit. This inspection was conducted as part of investigation required
following application of a rescission request to determine if the facility is qualified to eliminate
industrial stormwater coverage under National Pollution Discharge Elimination System
(NPDES) rules.
Permit:
This facility holds General Stormwater Permit NCG140031 to discharge stormwater from
industrial activity primarily engaged in ready -mixed concrete [SIC 3273] and litre activities
and Associated Stormwater and/or Process Wastewater under the National Pollutant
Discharge Elimination System (NPDES). The permit became effective July 1, 2016 and expires
on June 30, 2017. A copy of the current permit is required to be maintained with the Stormwater
Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) documents. A copy of the current permit was available for
review at the time of inspection.
Records/Reuorts:
This facility was required to develop and maintain a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan
(SPPP) in accordance with Part III, Items 1 thin 10 of the permit. Inspector reviewed the SPPP
and found that it has been updated annually. Training has been conducted annually and each
employee signed off with pen and ink signatures. Mr. Richardson has signed off on the
certification annually.
Facility Site Review:
Thi facility is a ready -mix concrete batch plant and has been in business in the existing location
for over 30 years. Mr. Richardson has made recent improvements to his truck wash/process
wastewater collection basin to prevent wastewater from leaving the site and entering the

stormwater system. He has added concrete berms to prevent storm water from entering the pits
and to minimize what may exit the contained area. Application for rescission suggest that the
process wastewater pit is cleaned out frequently and that a discharge cannot happen. At the time
of inspection, the pit was about two inches below the point it would begin to discharge.
Inspector believes there remains a significant chance for an illicit discharge of wastewater that
could potentially impact downstream properties. Ms. Patty Perry (Office Manager) conducts
quarterly analytical monitoring of the wastewater discharge as required under the process
wastewater provisions of the permit.
Effluent Receiving Waters:
Effluent from this facility drains to an unnamed tributary to Hasketts Creek a part of the Deep
River and being class "C" waters of the Cape Fear Watershed.
Self -Monitoring Program:
This facility is required to conduct Analytical & Qualitative Monitoring of its stormwater
outfalls on a semi-annual basis. Review of the grounds show that stormwater discharge leaves
the property via sheet flow rather than concentrated flow. By the time it gets to a point of
concentrated flow, it has reached channels outside the property boundary and has been
contaminated by outside sources. Stormwater monitoring is not currently being required given
the aforementioned facts but this issue may be revisited in the future.
Analytical Monitoring is required to be conducted quarterly per the permit. Ms. Perry collects
and sends the samples for collection. Results appear to be within parameters. The facily will be
required to continue monitoring process wastewater discharge quarterly per the permit.
The Asheboro Ready -Mix was found to be compliant with requirements under its industrial
stormwater pennit.
Application for rescission of the permit is denied.
If you have further questions or require assistance please contact Glen White of NCDEQ at 336-
776-9660.
