I. DIRECTIONS TO SITE: From FRO travel on Hwy 401 North towards Lillington; continue on Hwy
401 North towards Fuquay-Varina; turn left onto Pamela Drive.

U. SAFETY: Standard FRO safety gear is required, including a reflective vest. The inspector should be
mindful of vehicular and heavy equipment traffic.
M. FACILITY/PROCESS DESCRIPTION: Thomas Concrete Inc. - Fuquay-Varina consists of a truck
mix concrete batch plant and a cement terminal. Cement is received by rail car. Fine and coarse
aggregates are loaded into storage bins by a front-end loader. These materials are auger fed to a belt
conveyor leading to elevated weigh hopper storage bins and when needed are belt conveyed to the truck
mix. Cement and fly -ash are gravity fed into a weigh hopper and dropped into the mixer trucks. The
truck mix operates in unison with an interlocked water spray system that uses fresh water and -
automatically turns on when the truck enters to receive a load -out. This control device reduces truck mix
emissions.
At the terminal plant, cement is pneumatically conveyed to the silos. Cement is pneumatically transferred
to the batch plant silos for production needs. Cement tanker trucks can be loaded, and travel to other
batch plants in the area.

IV. INSPECTION SUMMARY: On 26 September 2017, Mark Brantley, FRO DWR, Steve Allen, and 1,
Joshua Harris, both of FRO DAQ, arrived on site to conduct a multimedia inspection at Thomas Concrete
Inc. — Fuquay-Varina. We met Rocky Vaughters, Plant Manager, and Andrew Rodak, Senior Engineer
and consultant. We explained to Mr. Vaughters that even though his air permit has been rescinded, he
""may still receive'regulaf air quality inspections, or "Compliance AssufanceVisits." Mr. Vaughters
verified the FacFinder information, and updated that facility's contact information; those changes have
been updated in 1BEAM. We provided Mr. Vaughters a copy of the "Facility Compliance Tracking
Checklist" to use if he'd like since his permit has been rescinded as requested under 2Q .0102(d). Mr.
Vaughters stated that no changes have been made to the inspection and maintenance regimen at the
facility, and that the control devices are inspected monthly by facility personnel. Additionally, the
bagfilters are opened and inspected quarterly by Filter Kleen. Mr. Vaughters provided the plant's
production numbers, and the current rate is roughly the same as when the facility applied for rescission.
Mr. Rodak stated that he also tracks the facility's production to ensure that they continue to qualify for
exemption.
We toured the facility and observed a mix truck being loaded. The spray nozzles at the loadout turned on
as expected, and brief light fugitive emissions were noted during loadout. The emissions appeared to
dissipate before reaching the property boundary. There were also some fugitive dust emissions noted due
to truck traffic, which could possibly cross a property boundary if the truck is close enough, but no
complaints have been received. The area surrounding the facility is sparsely populated, so complaints are
unlikely. After the tour, we departed the facility.

V. EQUIPMENT ON SITE:
*Table taken from the facility's last active air quality permit, permit number 08620R06, Mr. Vaughters
verified that this list is still correct and that no equipment has been removed, and no new equipment has
been installed.

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) 0.67 for P < 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 the 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 bagfilter appeared to have regular maintenance conducted. The facility inspects the
bagfllters monthly, and an outside contractor, Filter Kleen, is used for internal inspections. Mr.
Vaughters provided records of Filter Kleen's inspections which are completed on a quarterly basis,
with the latest inspection occurring on 22 June 2017.
B. 15A NCAC 2D .0521— CONTROL OF VISIBLE EMISSIONS —Visible emissions shall not
exceed 20% opacity.
APPEARED IN COMPLLANCE: ' We observed a truck being loaded, and noted brief, light fugitive
emissions. No other sources were operating, and no silo filling was observed. There do not appear
to be any issues regarding visible emissions at the facilities emission points. The facility has not
received any complaints, and no complaints have been received by DAQ.
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 COMPLLANCE: We reminded Mr. Vaughters of this requirement. There are no
indications of any excess emissions which would require a notification by the facility. There have
been no 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 INCOMPLIANCE: No fugitive dust concerns at the property boundaries were noted
during the inspection. Lightfugitive dust emissions were noted during loadout, but none appeared to
cross the property boundaries. The facility utilizes wet suppression at the loadout to minimize
emissions, and it appears to help. Truck traffic generates some fugitive emissions, and 5 mph speed
limits are posted. There have been no complaints received by the facility or by DAQ.
VII. NON-COMPLIANCE HISTORY SINCE 2010:
01/07/14 NOD issued for late emission inventory submittal.

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 (RNP).
IX CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS:
Thomas Concrete Inc. — Fuquay-Varina, appeared to be IN COMPLIANCE applicable air quality
regulations.

None.

How 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. However, if your facility is already in
Tier 2 (monitoring stormwater discharges monthly) or Tier 3, you must continue o
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.

COC Number NCG140347
Harnett County
Dear Permittee:
In response to your renewal application for continued coverage under stormwater General Permit NCG140000
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 stormwater only (or other limited terms), you must contact the Stormwater 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 PolIution.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 HQW, 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, B & 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 HQW waters per rule requirements in 15A
NCAC 02B .0224.
• Section D: 7010-based flow limits have been set for PNA waters per regulations in 15A NCAC 028.
• 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:

As requested in your letter. dated June 13, 2005 to Mr. John .Holding of Thomas Concrete, we at
Froehling & Robertson, Inc. (F&R) are, responding with the information which you have
requested. Prior to receipt of your letter, preliminary calculations and preliminary modeling
have been performed on the North West Street, Morrisville and the Wake Forest sites. The
accuracy of this data was. determined to be inadequate due to' significant topographical
modifications which have taken place at each of the sites modeled during their historical
operations. As of June 22, 2005, F&R was authorized to obtain the needed topographical data
needed which would accurately represent the present conditions at each of the sites. The
surveying activities should be completed by August 17, 2005 for the sites. The subsequent
estimated timeline for the site specific activities at each facility are as follows:
1131 N. West Street, Raleigh l
. Complete surface water modeling by August 31, 2005.
• Prepare specifications for - BMPs, topographic' modifications
required, and appropriate treatment' systems byM, E
• Due to the extensive planned changes to the prefabricated batch
mill at the site this schedule will be accelerated as rapidly as
possible but anticipate completion by March 1, 2006.
312 Plum Street, Durham
• Complete surface water modeling by September 30, 2005.
• Prepare, specifications for BMPs, topographic modifications
required, and appropriate treatment systems b
• Completion of the onsite modifications are anticipated to be June
15, 2006 since significant subgrade improvements are anticipated
to avoid similar grade failures which contribute,to infiltration and
uncontrolled runoff.

Response to 13.) Continued from Page Z of 4.
If yes to any of the above, please describe the type of process used to treat and/or recycle the process
wastewater. Give design specifics (i.e. design volume, retention time, surface area, etc.).
• Vehicle and Equipment Cleaning. Currently process water flows from vehicle washing are routed Into the settling
pond via gravity flow routed by sand berms. There is no other form of on -site equipment cleaning that that occurs on a
regular basis.
• Wetting of Raw Materials. The only raw material stockpile that requires wetting is the light -weight aggregate
stockpile (shown on the attached figure). This is located adjacent to the office in the middle of the subject facility.
When being wetted, the stockpile does have some runoff. However, the runoff runs on the adjacent isolated grass
area, or onto the permeable lot area. Considering this, the runoff from this activity is absorbed into the grass,
permeated into the lot, or evaporated prior to drainage into off -site drainage channels.
• Mixing Drum Cleaning. Truck mix drums are washed out and purged directly into the first settling pond cell where
their suspended solids settle out as waters slowly travel into the successive pond cells via gravity flow. The concrete
hatch plant does not have a mixing drum. Dry concrete is conveyed into the trucks by belt and drop tube. Water is
then added to the trucks for in -truck mixing. Considering this, there are no drum washouts from the batch plant.
• Design Volume, Retention Time, Surface Area, Etc. Currently, the subject facility is in the process of being
studied for purposes of developing a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SP3). At this current time, no data exists
that would sufficiently respond to the questions regarding volume, retention time, and surface area of the existing
stormwater treatment facilities. New treatment facilities are being considered for the subject facility. Considering this,
volume, retention time, and surface area of the proposed facilities will be discussed during the DWo and consultant
discussions of the BMPs proposed to be included in forthcoming SP3.
