Inspection Summary:
Owner. Facility: Hildreth Redi-Mix
Inspection Type: Compliance Evaluation Reason for Visit Routine
Multimedia inspection conducted by Mike Lawyer with FRO DEMLR and Joshua Harris with FRO DAQ to determine
compliance with the facility's stormwater and air permits. Met with Karl Hildreth at the plant, which was not operating at the
time of inspection. Observations were made of site conditions including waste concrete area, secondary containment area
for admixtures and recycle pit, which receives all process wastewater flow and stormwater. Mr. Hildreth claims that all flows
are contained in the recycle pit with the water pumped out as needed and used in the plant processes and there are no
discharges off the property. Although there is a detailed site map for the facility, a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan per
the conditions of the NCG140000 permit has still not been developed and there are no monitoring records.
