Subject: NPDES Stormwater Permit Coverage Renewal COC #NCG140182
Dear Permittee:
For coverage under Stormwater General Permit NCG140000, the Division of Energy,
Mineral, and Land Resources (DEMLR) is forwarding herewith the reissued Certificate of
Coverage (COC). This permit is reissued pursuant to the requirements of North Carolina
General Statute 143-215.1 and the Memorandum of Agreement between the state of North
Carolina and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, dated October 15, 2007 (or as
subsequently amended.) A new Certificate of Coverage (COC) is included with this
letter.
You must print a copy of the new NCG140000 General Permit from our website here:
htt&fIdeq.nc.g_ovjabout1divisions/energy-mineral-land-resources nergy-mineral-laird-_._...
permits lstarmwater_-p rmitsf npdes-industrial-sw. In addition to the full permit, the 2017
print package on the website includes revised Discharge Monitoring Report (DMR) forms,
Annual Discharge Monitoring Report forms, and Qualitative Monitoring Report Forms.
The General Permit authorizes discharges of stormwater and wastewater (if applicable),
and it specifies your obligations with respect to discharge controls, management,
monitoring, and record keeping. Please review the new permit to familiarize yourself with
all changes in the reissued permit. Significant changes to the General Permit are
outlined in the Technical Bulletin, which is also available on the website above. Your
facility has six months from receipt of the permit to update your Stormwater Pollution
Prevention Plan (SPPP) to reflect any new permit requirements.

Now does the new General Permit affect Tier Status?
The first sample period of your permit begins August 1, 2017. Tier 3 actions in Part IV of
your permit are triggered by benchmark exceedances on four occasions beginning on the
effective date of this permit and do not count prior exceedances. Likewise, Tier 2 actions
are triggered by two consecutive benchmark exceedances beginning on the effective date
of this permit and do not count prior exceedances. Howeverif your facility is already in
Tier 2 (monitoring stormwater discharges monthly) or Tier 3, you must continue monthly
monitoring until relieved through conditions of the permit or by DEMLR staff approval.
When does electronic DMR reporting start?
We are setting up our database with final permit parameters and the outfalls that
permittees submitted on-line. All NCG14 Permittees will receive notification when our
eDMR system is ready for these permittees to register and begin reporting
monitoring data electronically. If you have any questions about the status, please
contact Bethany Georgoulias at [phone] or Robert Patterson at [phone]. If
you did not submit outfall information already, we have included a form for you to return
to us. (Note: NO FORM IS ATTACHED if we already have your outfall information.)
Your coverage under the General Permit is transferable only through the specific action of
DEMLR. This permit does not affect the legal requirements to obtain other permits which
may be required by the N.C. Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ), nor does it
relieve the permittee from responsibility for compliance with any other applicable federal,
state, or local law, rule, standard, ordinance, order, judgment, or decree.
If you have any questions regarding this permit package please contact the DEMLR

I. DIRECTIONS: From FRO, travel about 10 miles on Murchison Road toward Spring Lake
turning right at the stoplight intersection of Hwy 210/87/24; travel less than one mile and at the
stoplight intersection, veer right onto Highway 210 North; travel about 4 miles and before
crossing over the Lower Little River bridge, turn left onto Cottageville Drive; this becomes the
haul/access road to the facility.
II. SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS: All standard FRO safety gear to include vest are required. Be
aware of overhead conveyors and various moving vehicles.
III. FACILITY/I'ROCESS DESCRIPTION: This is a truck mix concrete plant. Course and fine
aggregate are front-end loaded into separate dump pits and is belt conveyed to separate larger
bins. Aggregate is then conveyed in the correct amount to the smaller truck weigh hopper, which
introduces it into the truck. Cement and fly ash are stored in separate silos. and are pneumatically
loaded into the truck mix weigh hopper. Water is added during both the aggregate loading as well
as the cement. and fly ash. The truck mix area is equipped with a shroud that is lowered during the
truck load to further reduce emissions. All mixing is done inside the truck drum and is ready to
pour at the job site. The bag filter controls emissions from both silos, weigh hopper, and truck
mix. The facility has an electric hot water heater for winter month mix loads and is switched to
chili water during the summer months, providing the necessary temperature needs for special
mixes.
The facility requested to have the air quality permit rescinded on August 16, 2016 under the
newly adopted 2Q .0102(d) exemption. The facility's permit was rescinded on August 19, 2016.

IV. INSPECTION SUMMARY: On January 24, 2017,1, Mike Lawyer with FRO DEMI.R, arrived
at the facility to conduct a Multimedia Inspection to determine compliance with applicable Air
Quality regulations and conditions of NPDES General Permit NCG140000.1 met with Mr.
Dewey Jernigan, Operations Manager, and Mr. Kevin Honecker, Plant Manager. According to
Mr. Jernigan and Mr. Honecker, no operational changes have been made at the facility since
previous inspection and neither were aware of any complaints. Facility personnel conduct visual
inspections of equipment on a daily, weekly and monthly schedule with Filter Kleen
Environmental Services performing an annual inspection. Maintenance record from December
2016 showed that the bagfilters, weigh hopper and maglines were cleaned and all systems
checked. Mr. Honecker provided the records showing the production rate for the facility in 2016
was 10,731 yds3.
After reviewing the facility's inspection and maintenance records, Mr. Jernigan and Mr.
Honecker accompanied me outside. The plant was not operating at the time of inspection.
Observations were made of the truck loading area, admixture and aggregate storage areas, and
washout pit. Site appeared to be well operated and maintained.

V. EQUIPMENT ONSITE:
A. One concrete batch plant with fabric filter air pollution control system(s) installed on all
sources (Total filtration area =1,433 square feet). (Not operating at time of inspection)
B. One (1) cement mixing weigh hopper and loading operation (Not operating at time of
inspection)
C. Silos for cement and flyash storage (Not operating at time of inspection)
D. Sand and aggregate stockpiles and handling equipment
VI. APPLICABLE AIR QUALITY REGULATIONS:
A.. 15A NCAC 2D .0515 — PARTICULATES FROM MISC. INDUSTRIAL PROCESSES —
Particulate emissions shall not exceed allowable emission rates as calculated by the following
equations:
E = 4.10 * (P) 0" for P:5 30 tons/hr, or
E = 55 * (P) 0,11 - 40 for P >30 tons/hr
APPEARED IN COMPLIANCE: These calculations were made when the facility was
permitted and previous permit reviews indicated that the facility, when controls are properly
maintained and operated, would not exceed these limits. The facility's particulate emissions
are controlled by bagfilters. Each bagfalter appeared to have regular maintenance conducted
and there were no dust accumulations near their exhaust points, which would indicate an
operational problem.
B. 15A NCAC 2D .0521— CONTROL OF VISIBLE EMISSIONS — Visible emissions shall
not exceed 20% opacity.
APPEARED IN COMPLIANCE: The facility was not operating at the time of inspection.
DAQ has not received any recent complaints pertaining to this facility.
C. 15A NCAC 2D .0535 — NOTIFICATION REQUIREMENT — Notify DAQ in the event of
excess emissions lasting longer than 4 hours resulting from malfunctions, breakdowns, or
abnormal conditions.
APPEARED IN COMPLIANCE: There are no indications of any excess emissions, which
would require a notification by the facility. There have been no recent complaints received by
the facility or DAQ.
D. 15A NCAC 2D .0540 -- PARTICULATES FROM FUGITIVE DUST EMISSION
SOURCES —Fugitive dust emissions shall not contribute to substantive complaints or
excessive dust emissions across the property boundary.
APPEARED IN COMPLIANCE: The facility was not operating at the time of inspection.
There have been no recent complaints received by the facility or DAQ.
VIL 'NON-COMPLIANCE HISTORY SINCE 2010: None.
VIII. RISK MANAGEMENT (112R): This facility does not store any 112(r) subject materials above
threshold limits. Therefore, it is not required to maintain a written Risk Management Plan (RMP).

IX. CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS: Argos Ready Mix - Spring Lake Plant 117
appeared to be IN COMPLIANCE with applicable air quality regulations on the date of
inspection.
PINK SHEET ADDITIONS: None.

Inspection Summary:
This facility is currently owned and operated by Argos Ready Mix. A Permit Name/Ownership Change Form for this facility
or letter from the current owner updating ownership of all facilities in the state needs to be submitted to staff with the
Stormwater Permitting Program at the Central Office in Raleigh in order to update our files. Inspection conducted as part of
a Multimedia Inspection to determine compliance with Air Quality regulations and the conditions of NPDES General Permit
NCG140000. Met with Dewey Jernigan, Operations Manager, and Kevin Honecker, Plant Manager. Reviewed facility's
Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP), which appeared to contain all permit -required components including
documentation of an annual review and update indicating no spills and no facility or operational changes since 2013.
Facility has one discharge outfall, which would receive authorized process wastewater and stormwater triggering quarterly
analytical monitoring. Monitoring records from fourth quarter 2015 and all four quarters of 2016 indicate no flow/no
discharge. After the records review, observations weremade of the facility's outfall area, secondary containment area and
concrete washout pit. The outfall area consists of a low spot in the topography at the back of the site with a gravel berm
separating it from a shallow ,Ditch leading to the receiving stream. A section of silt fencing is placed across the shallow
ditch and it is recommended that the silt fence be replaced with a silt fence outlet consisting of wire mesh screen with
washed stone in front of it to allow any discharges to flow through while keeping any accumulated sediment or other solid
debris from migrating, An area of erosion was observed at the silt fence, which should be adequately repaired and
stabilized. Overall, site appeared to be well operated and maintained and in compliance with the conditions of General
Permit NCG140000.

Dear Mr. Simonsen:

SHEILA C. HOLMAN
DireCror
The Division of Air Quality has reviewed your letter and supporting documentation received,
August 16, 2016 requesting rescission of Permit No. 05868G10.
Based on this information, the facility does qualify for exemption from permitting since the facility
is currently classified as "small" and the facility -wide actual emissions of particulate matter
(PM10), sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, volatile organic compounds, carbon monoxide, hazardous
air pollutants (HAP), and toxic air pollutants (TAP), from previous years, each has been less than
five (5) tons per year and the total actual aggregate emissions of these pollutants have been less than
10 tons per year. The letter also indicated that there are no future plans to make any changes that
would increase emissions above these exemption thresholds.
Therefore, in accordance with your request, Air Quality Permit No. 05868G10 is hereby rescinded,
effective the date of this letter. It should be noted that this exemption from permitting does not
exempt Argos Ready Mix - Spring Lake Plant (No 117) from complying with the applicable
emission control standards.

Furthermore, should you decide to modify the processes such that the result is an increase of
emissions above the emission thresholds given above, an Air Quality Permit may be required and
Argos Ready Mix - Spring Lake Plant (No If 7) should contact this Regional Office prior to such
actions for a permit or registration applicability determination.
This exemption from the permitting requirement is based upon your statement that this facility has
been and will be operated under the threshold levels as outlined in the Regulation NCAC 2Q
.0102(d). Please be advised that the operation of any air pollution emission sources which results in
increased emissions in excess of the threshold levels specified in 15A NCAC 2Q.0102(d) without an
Air Quality Permit is a violation of 15A NCAC 2Q.0101, "Required Air Quality Permits." If this
facility is required to obtain an Air Quality permit in the future because of increased emissions, each
day of operation of the emission sources without an Air Quality Permit represents a separate
violation. Such violations may be subject to enforcement action pursuant to NCGS 143-215.114A.
Please be aware that even though your facility may no longer be subject to permitting requirements,
the operations must still comply with all applicable state and federal laws and regulations. The
attached Facility Compliance Tracking Checklist may be of help to you in verifying you remain in
compliance with certain federal and state regulations. It may also aid in determining if you remain
below the emissions threshold. You may use this checklist at your discretion as it is intended to be
used as a guidance document only. Furthermore, it is DAQ's intent to periodically conduct
compliance assurance visits at exempt facilities. If you have any questions with reference to the
above matter, please do not hesitate to contact Gregory Reeves at 910-433-3373.

From FRO, travel about 10 miles on Murchison Road toward Spring Lake turning right at the stoplight
intersection of Hwy 210/87/24; travel less than one mile and at the stoplight intersection, veer right onto
Highway 210 North; travel about 4 miles and before crossing over the Lower Little River bridge, turn left
onto Cottageville Drive; this becomes the haul/access road to the facility.
2) Safety Considerations:
All standard FRO safety gear to include vest are required. Be aware of overhead conveyors and various
moving vehicles.
3) ProcesslFacilit Description:
This is a truck mix concrete plant. Course and fine aggregate are front-end loaded into separate dump pits
and is belt conveyed to separate larger bins. Aggregate is then conveyed in the correct amount to the
smaller truck weigh hopper which introduces it into the truck. Cement and fly ash are stored in separate
silos and are pneumatically loaded into the truck mix weigh hopper. Water is added during both the
aggregate loading as well as the cement and fly ash. The truck mix area is equipped with a shroud that is
lowered during the truck load to further reduce emissions. All mixing is done inside the truck drum and
is ready to pour at the job site. The bag filter controls emissions from both silos, weigh hopper, and truck
mix. The facility has an electric hot water heater for winter month mix loads and is switched to chill
water during the summer months, provide the necessary temperature needs for special mixes.
4) Permitted Sources:
• One Concrete batch plant with fabric filter air pollution control system(s) installed on all sources
(Total filtration area = 1,433 square feet). (Control device operating during fly ash silo fill
with zero opacity)
• One (1) cement mixing weigh hopper and loading operation; (Not Operating during inspection)
• Silos for cement and flyash storage. (Observed fly ash silo fill with zero opacity)

6) Opening Conference:
On 7 April 2015, I, Pam Vivian with DAQ FRO, arrived at the facility to do a pre -arranged compliance
inspection, assist with the emission inventory (EI) for the upcoming permit renewal, and observe a fly ash
silo load. I observed a 10 mph speed limit sign at the entrance and the access road and facility grounds
were damp from recent rains. I met with Mr. Dewey Jernigan, Operating Manager and Authorized
Contact for the Fayetteville Plant but he was there on the behalf of Mr. Duane Allen, Authorized and
Technical Contact, Mr. Kevin Honecker, Plant Manager was also present during this inspection. Mr.
Jernigan reviewed the FACFINDER and Mr. Honecker provided a copy of the current air permit and the
IIM log for the control device.. The records indicated Filter Kleen Environmental Services did the annual
inspection on 5 August 2014 with the facility providing daily, weekly, and monthly checks. The control
device is also monitored using a magnehelic gauge requiring filter bag change or other troubleshooting
practices when the pressure increases at or greater than 3.Opsi, promoting a well operated system. He
updated production throughputs for 2014 and 2015 up to this inspection date.
Mr. Jernigan stated that Mr. Steve Simonsen, PE, Environmental Manager was the corporate Engineer
who would be preparing and submitting this inventory. His contact information: ssimonsen@ar os-
us.com; mobile [phone], office [phone]; direct [phone]; and fax [phone].

.. i
Later this date I sent an email to Mr. Simonsen offering inventory assistance. Later, I received an email
response stating he was familiar with AFRO and did not need assistance.
Cement loads are received by transport truck ever 7 to 10 days depending on business. Flyash is received
by transport trucks and vary from every two weeks to once per month depending on business. I did not
observe any truck mix loading but did observe one coarse aggregate truck load with zero opacity.
7) Throughputs:
Operating hours
lam to 5pm, Monday through Friday, and some
Saturdays and Sundays with business demands.

8) Inspection Walk Through:
Both men guided me on the inspection. We went to the batch plant where I did not observe any dust
accumulations or defects with the ductwork. The scheduled transfer truck had not arrived so we
proceeded to the aggregate storage bins and concrete waste stock pile areas.
At the storage bins for fine and coarse aggregate I observed a coarse aggregate transport truck dump its
load. I did not observe any emissions and it appeared the aggregate was wet from earlier rains.
I observed the stock pile of waste concrete adjacent to these bins and Mr. Jernigan told me that every two
years the company contracts a portable rock crusher. This material is later sold to customers for
driveways, small access roads, and other minimum use purposes. Sometimes the crushed concrete is also
used on the access road and around the facility. Trucks are washed out upon returning from each load
drop and this waste water is drained into the retention bins or spread around the facility grounds during
dry weather. I requested being contacted when the portable crusher is scheduled to observe it operating.
The fly ash truck driver arrived and began hooking up the hose to the silo ductwork. The driver began
loading. I observed the line pressure at about I I psi. I positioned myself to observe the control device
and observed. zero opacity.
After about 10 minutes, I observed the transport truck hose began leaking out a small stream of fly ash at
the point where it was connected to the truck. I noted this to Mr. Jernigan and he immediately went over
to the truck driver who was at the side of the truck and took him around to the back of the truck to
observe what was occurring. The driver ran to his truck and stopped the silo loading. He examined the
area where the leak was occurring. He made some adjustments and restarted the silo loading. The fly ash
began leaking out again at the same point where previously observed. The driver quickly obtained a
gallon jug of what was apparently water and began pouring it over the leak area. The leak did stop but I
noted to Mr. Jernigan this seemed to just be a quick fix to what may be a continual problem. Mr. Jernigan
had the driver stop the silo fill and discussed the emission concerns with him. He told the driver that
SEFA Company needs to repair the hose or replace it especially since the emissions were not compliant
with the facility air permit. The driver made a phone call apparently to his supervisor and explained the
situation. Mr. Jernigan contacted Mr. Allen and explained the situation. Mr. Jernigan told me he would
contact me later in the week to schedule another silo drop. I thanked him and left the facility. Due to
battery cell problems, I was not able to

Follow-up:
On 10 April 2015 I met with Dewey Jernigan and Mr. Honecker to observe the remaining fly ash drop.
The same fly ash company, SEFA, Inc arrived and I observed a newer hose being connected from the
truck to the fly ash silo. Mr. Jernigan explained that headquarters in Fayetteville contacts different
contract cement and flyash companies when these products are needed. The facility is told the date and
time for the truck to arrival but facility personnel do not know who is coming to make the delivery. He
said Mr. Allen did contact SEFA and told them about the leaking hose problem and the fugitive problems
it can create for any of their concrete facilities. I observed for about 20 minutes with zero opacity and no
leaking hose problems.

Subject: NPDES NCG140000 General Permit renewed on July 1
Dear Permit Contact:
Thank you for submitting the permit renewal request (received on 06/29/2016 - 11:25am) for Permit COC No.
NCG140182. The NCG140000 General Permit has been reissued with no changes for one year, effective Friday, July 1,
2016. As we stated in our letter from May 31", we will not issue you a new Certificate of Coverage until next year,
when the General Permit is revised. However, the cover page of the permit has been revised to reflect new effective
dates.
For your records, you may print a copy of the new General Permit cover page from our website (in the NPDES Industrial
SW section, General Permits). Or, you can go to this NCG14 Renewals Map and search for your permit. The "More Info"
link next the general Permit field in the pop-up box has been revised with the new permit. You only need to print the
cover page that reflects the new dates for your records. Please continue to use the same data monitoring forms (DMR).
As a reminder, if there has been a company ownership change, or if the Owner Affiliation needs to be updated, you

Inspection Summary.
The renewed General Permit for the facility became effective on July 1, 2011. The inspection was conducted with the
assistance of Kevin Honecker, Plant Manager. The Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) was reviewed and found
to contain all of the necessary components. The Analytical and Qualitative monitoring forms were also reviewed. Monitoring
frequency is being done in accordance with the General Permit. The monitoringlsampling is now taking place at the
sampling point which is representative of the actual discharge from the site. There is a rock berm near the discharge point.
Downslope of the berm -is a silt fence which should be modified to allow stormwater to leave the site. Constructing a silt
fence outlet in this location is recommended. The site appears to be orderly and well -maintained.

Subject: NPDES Stormwater Permit Coverage Renewal
Ready Mixed Concrete Company - Spring Lake,
Plant 117
COC Number NCG140182
Cumberland County
Dear Permittee:
In response to your renewal application for continued coverage under stormwater General Permit NCGi 40000
the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) is forwarding herewith the reissued General Permit. This permit is reissued
pursuant to the requirements of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and the Memorandum of Agreement
between the state of North Carolina and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, dated October 15, 2007 (or
as subsequently amended).
The following information is included with your permit package:
• A new Certificate of Coverage
• A copy of General Permit NCG140000
• A copy of the Technical Bulletin for the General Permit
• Two copies of the Discharge Monitoring Report (DMR) Form for Stormwater
• Two copies of the DMR Form for Wastewater
• Two copies of the Qualitative Monitoring Report Form
The General Permit authorizes discharges of stormwater and/or wastewater, and it specifies your obligations with
respect to discharge controls, management, monitoring, and record keeping. Please review the new permit to
familiarize yourself with all the changes in the reissued permit. If your Certificate of Coverage (COC) restricts
authorization to discharge storm water only (or other limited terms), you must contact the Storm water Permitting
Unit if you would like to request a modification to your COC.
The first sample period of your permit begins July 1, 2011. However, because of the delayed mail -out of permit
packages, your facility is expected to attempt to sample during the first sampling period, and must comply with
sampling requirements beginning during the second sampling period. Your facility must sample a representative
storm event between January 1 and July 30, 2012 (for stormwater sampling), and/or sample wastewater between
October 1, 2011 and December 31, 2011 (or, if applicable, report "No Flow", as outlined in Part V, Section E).
Additionally, your facility has 6 months from the time of receipt of the permit to update SPPP to current standards.
The more significant changes in the General Permit since your last Certificate of Coverage include the following
(please note the names and numbers of sections have been changed from the previous permit revision):
Part II:
• Authorization to Construct (ATC) language was added to the permit and adapted to fit NCG140000,
Part III:
• The Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) section has been updated to the most current
language of our permits. Some additional conditions specific to this industry have been added to the
SPPP language.
Part IV:
• Sections A & B: Revised provisions require stormwater discharges be sampled twice per year (instead of
annually), and sampling results shall be compared to new benchmark values. (The previous cut-off
concentrations have been removed).

• Sections A & B: Revised provisions require the permittee to execute Tier One, Two & Three response
actions: Tier One requirements for a first benchmark exceedence, and/or Tier Two response for a second
consecutive benchmark exceedence, if applicable. Tier Two requires that the permittee institute monthly
monitoring (reported to the appropriate Regional Offices) instead of twice -per -year monitoring. Monthly
monitoring shall be done until three consecutive monitoring events show no benchmark exceedences.
• Sections A & B: This permit now contains a provision that four exceedences of any benchmark will trigger
increased DWQ involvement in the permittee's stormwater management and control actions (Tier Three).
DWQ may direct the permittee to apply for an individual permit, institute specific monitoring, or may direct
the implementation or installation of specific stormwater control measures.
• Sections A & B: Failure to perform analytical stormwater monitoring requires that the permittee begin a
monthly sampling scheme for both industrial stormwater discharges and/or stormwater discharges from
VMA areas (where applicable). After 6 months of monthly sampling, the permittee may return to semi-
annual sampling, unless otherwise specified by DWQ.
• Sections A & B: A lower TSS benchmark of 50 mg/I for HOW, ORW, PNA and Tr Waters was added to
this permit for these more sensitive waters.
• Section B: The monitoring parameter Oil & Grease has been replaced by the parameter Total Petroleum
Hydrocarbons.
• Sections A, 13 & C: inability to sample due to adverse weather must be reported in the SPPP.
• Sections A, B & C: The terminology "Representative Storm Event" has been replaced by "Measurable
Storm Event" in response to comments from industry groups. A measurable storm event is a storm event
that results in an actual discharge from the permitted site outfall. The previous measurable storm event
must have been at least 72 hours prior, unless the permittee is able to document that a shorter interval is
representative for local storm events during the sampling period, and obtains written approval from the
local DWQ Regional Office.
• Section C: Qualitative monitoring must now be conducted semi-annually and is tied to the same
measurable storm event as the analytical monitoring.
• Section C: if the permittee fails to respond effectively to problems identified by qualitative monitoring, the
permittee may be required by DWQ to perform corrective action.
• Section D: This section has now been consolidated to one section with one set of combined tables for all
types of authorized wastewater discharges.
• Section D: The wastewater analytical monitoring schedule has been set to quarterly.
• Section D: TSS limits have been revised for PNA, Trout and HOW waters per rule requirements in 15A
NCAC 02B .0224.
• Section D: 7Q 10-based flow limits have been set for PNA waters per regulations in 15A NCAC 02B.
• Section D: TPH monitoring requirements have been added to wastewater monitoring when stormwater
runoff from VMA areas commingles with wastewater.
• Section D: This wording in the permit has been removed: "For facilities which route stormwater and all
process wastewater to a recycle system, no analytical monitoring of process wastewater discharges is
required if that recycle system discharges as a result of a 10-year 24-hour (or larger) precipitation event."
Part V:
• Section A: For existing facilities previously permitted and applying for renewal under this General Permit:
New elements of the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan for this permit renewal shall be developed and
implemented within 6 months of the effective date of the initial Certificate of Coverage issued pursuant to
this General Permit and updated thereafter on an annual basis.
Your coverage under the General Permit is transferable only through the specific action of DWQ. This permit does
not affect the legal requirements to obtain other permits which may be required by DENR, nor does it relieve the
permittee from responsibility for compliance with any other applicable federal, state, or local law, rule, standard,
ordinance, order, judgment, or decree. If you have any questions regarding this permit package please contact
these members of the Stormwater Permitting Unit: Jennifer Jones [phone], Ken Pickle [phone], or
Bethany Georgoullas [phone].

Permit: NCG140 M Owner - Facility: Southern Equipment Company Inc
Inspaction Date: 10118/2012 Inspection Type : Compliance Evaluation Reason for Visit: Routine
Inspection Summary:
Stormwater, should it leave the site, would drain to the little River in the Cape Fear River basin.
The subject facility is covered by NPDES Stormwater General Permit No. NCG1400001 Certificate of Coverage No
N CG 140182.
- The site was found to be neat and well maintained,
- When discussing analytical and qualitative monitoring and during the site tour it became
apparent that site personnel have been sampling a point at the rear of the property from
a point that is NOT representative of the actual discharge from the site. The stormwater
sampling point was noted to be prior to a low area that had been modified with a berm or
check dam to enhance settling. Based on discussions with Mr. Jernigan and and Mr. Honecker both of
gentlemen were not aware that the settling area was present,
It was agreed upon at the time of the inspection hat the settling area was beneficial and that by
repairing the check dam improvements to settling and filtering of stormwater and process wastewater
would be gained,
Please note that no sample should be taken from any point that is not a true Stormwater
Discharge Outfall (SDO) and is not representative of the stormwater/process
wastewater leaving the site.
Ready Mixed Concrete Corporation (RMCC) is asked to establish the true route/path that stormwater
leaves the site and modify the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan to include narratives, site maps
and other items to reflect the actual Stormwater Discharge Outfall (SDO),
- Discharge Monitoring Reports. A review of records revealed that samples of the
SDO at the noted above did not include Settleable Solids as called for in the permit. Please
review the permit for Process Wastewater that includes Settleable Solids. As this is required
by the permit. This omission as well as not submitting the data as called for in the permit is not
in keeping with the terms and conditions of the permit,
This deficiency should be corrected by following the permit in the future and
submitting all data that has to date not been submitted to the Division of Water Quality.
Data should be submitted on or before November 15, 2015.
- Noted was that the wash out and process wastewater settling basin(s) did not appear to be
properly maintained. During the discussion of this item you noted that to be able to properly
maintain this treatment unit modifications would have to be performed. RMCC is asked to
determine what if any modification are deemed appropriate and to notify this office, in writing,
the plan to address this matter. The plan to address this item should be forwared to this
office on or before November '15, 2012,
- It was noted that secondary containment area had no drain. This item was discussed during
the inspection. It is understood that previously stormwater was removed from the containment
area via a portable pump or allowed to evaporate. Please note that records should be
maintained on all discharges from this area as called for in the Stormwater Management
Plan,
