Subject: Rescission of NPDES Stormwater Permit
Certificate of Coverage Number NCG140441
Guilford County
1-he Division of Energy, Mineral and Land Resources received your request to rescind your
coverage under Certificate of Coverage Number NCG ] 40441. In accordance with your request,
Certificate of Coverage Number NCG14044I is rescinded effective immediately.
Operating a treatment facility, discharging wastewater or discharging specific types of
stormwater to waters of the State without valid coverage under an NPDES permit is against
federal and state laws and could result in fines. If something changes and your facility would
again require stormwater or wastewater discharge permit coverage, you should notify this office
immediately. We will be happy to assist you in assuring the proper permit coverage.
If the facility is in the process of being sold, you will be performing a public service if you would
inform the new or prospective owners of'their potential need for NPDES permit coverage.
If you have questions about this matter, please contact us at 919-707-9200, or the Stormwater
staff in our Winston-Salem Regional Office (336)776-9800.

Inspection Summary:
This was a temporary ready mix concrete facility and staging area for highway construction. Glen White visited the site on
8/23/2017 following request for rescission. The concrete plant has been removed from the location and equipment was being
hauled away at the time of inspection. Significant heavy equipment and construction materials remain at the site but the
site no longer meets the SIC requiring an NCG140000 and does not appear to meet requirements of another stormwater
permit. Site is compliant and qualifies for rescission. NCDEQ - WSRO is fine with rescission. -

Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan
For Temporary Concrete Batch Plant
Background
Lane has been contracted to perform 3 miles of interstate concrete paving work for the NCDOT
Greensboro Western Loop project, This project requires that approximately 50,000 cubic yards of
concrete be produced and placed into the new roadway. In order to facilitate this construction, a
temporary portable concrete batch plant will be erected on NCDOT property adjacent to the
roadway alignment. The physical address of this location is 2149 Fleming Road, Greensboro NC
27410.
The concrete plant that is being proposed in this application will exist solely to provide concrete
for the Greensboro Western Loop Construction Project. As scheduled this entire project will be
completed by March 14, 2018 and the concrete plant will be removed in advance of this date. It
is anticipated that this plant will only be in this location for 12 months and during that time it will
only be active during intervals of concrete paving. Upon the completion of concrete paving this
plant will be removed and the site will be restored.
Waste Water Generated
0 There will be four different types of waste water generated at this site which need to be analyzed.
The first will come from the cleaning of the concrete hauling units. Dump trucks will be utilized to
haul the wet concrete and will need to have their dump bodies rinsed out after each load. This
water will combine with the concrete that is rinsed out of the dump body and will contain all the
elements of the concrete (Sand, Stone & Cement). No other cleaning or repair of these vehicles
will occur at this site.
The second waste water generated will be the wash water produced after cleaning the plant's
mixing drum. The composition of this water will be the same as that produced during the dump
truck rinsing operation. This cleaning of the mixing drum will occur upon of the completion of
each shift and also as necessary throughout the shift.
The third waste water generated will be the water used to wet the raw aggregate stockpiles.
These stockpiles will be watered consistently during concrete production operations. Water that
flows from these stockpiles will contain suspended fine particles that have escaped from the
stockpiles.
The final waste water generated at this site is storm water runoff. Currently the site is being
developed by the prime contractor and will need to be stabilized prior to the concrete plant being
setup. Once the area is stabilized the amount of runoff becomes much greater and has the
potential to create erosion.

Waste Water Control & Treatment
In order to effectively treat the waste water generated by this setup it must first be collected and
brought into the appropriate containment areas. As designed the treatment plan for this site will
separate storm water runoff from concrete wash water. The site will be graded and diversion
ditch lines will be established to ensure that storm water will flow into the southernmost basin
while the concrete wash water will be introduced into its own series of basins. This separation
will allow for a higher total system factor of safety.
The Stormwater Basin will be a "Skimmer" basin which is a BMP device designed to retain the
flow from a storm event and slowly dewater by skimming the surface water. This basin is 100%
effective in retaining all large particles that may be suspended in the storm water runoff. It is
anticipated that any particles originating from the plant yard itself will be relatively large (Fine
Sands) and easily collected in this basin. The remainder of the drainage area at this plant site is
a grassed field which could introduce silts and clays into the runoff. Any silt particles will easily
settle out in this skimmer basin. However, due to the ultra -fine particle size of clays if introduced
into the system these particles could potentially pass through prior to settling out. Settling time
is not realistically achievable for ultra -fine particles such as clays and as such the best treatment
method for these particles is to prevent their introduction into the system. This prevention is
most easily achieved by confirming the adequacy of the established ground cover. Any
disturbed soil must be vegetated to eliminate exposed erodible surfaces. Rock "Check Dams"
will also be utilized to slow the storm water as it flows toward the skimmer basin which will also
help to reduce the potential risk of erosion.
The Concrete Wash Water will be introduced into its own series of basins designed to effectively
settle all suspended particles and also to ensure that the pH of the outflowing water is within the
acceptable range. To do this, three basins will be created. The first basin in the series is the
"Washout Pit" where the dump trucks will be sprayed and the concrete will be directly mixed into
the system. This is also the location where wash water from the mixing drum will be transported
10 to. The second basin is to be the "Settling Basin" which is a very large retention basin sized to
provide adequate settling time to ensure that the fine particles have settled out prior to outflowing
into the final basin. The third basin is the "pH Reduction Basin" which is where a Fortran
System will be installed to monitor and regulate the pH of the wash water.
Predicted Maximums and System Performance
The storm water treatment system has been designed for the Ten Year rain event following the
NC Division of Land Quality Requirements. For the total accumulated drainage areas for this site
(1.9 AC plant site and 3.15 AC grassed field) the expected flow rate from this storm event would
be 22.3 CFS.
The concrete wash water treatment system has been designed for a concrete plant running at a
regular maximum production of 2,000 CY per day. This volume will result in a wash water flow of
approximately 2500 CFID. In actuality this production rate will only be achieved a limited number
of times on this project. However, it is important to calculate the waste water treatment system
based upon the project maximums and not the averages,
Upon release from either treatment system (Storm or Wash) the TSS and SS levels in the
outflowing water will be less than the established limits (30 mgll and 5 m1h respectively), and the
pH will be within the acceptable 6-9 range.

Maintenance of System
iAll water treatment devices will be evaluated on a bi-weekly basis, and after any event resulting in
0.5" of precipitation or greater. Any damage to the devices will be repaired immediately and any
sediment that has been built up will be removed routinely. This system has been designed to
allow for easy access and maintenance which will help to ensure that it functions property.
During intervals where the concrete plant is active the wash water basins will be inspected on a
daily basis. It is anticipated that at a minimum the "Washout Pit" will require routine cleaning
during these intervals. The aggregates that will accumulate in this basin will begin to impact the
function of the system if they are allowed to build up. It is the responsibility of Lane to ensure
that this buildup of materials is removed on a timely basis.
Summary
The purpose of this treatment system is to effectively treat both the Stormwater and the
Wastewaters produced from this concrete plant site. This treatment system has been used
successfully at previous sites for concrete batch plants, most recently this exact plant and
treatment methodology was used for a similar NCDOT project in Davidson County (Lane
Construction, 2011). The rules and guidelines set forth by general permit NCG 140000 will be
strictly adhered to and BMP's will be employed. Any questions regarding the operation of this
facility can be directed to the facility contact noted in the application.

PURPOSC
G.C. Pnvironmtcntal, Inc., was contracted to provide an engineers review and certification that the
Mode[ 5000-S pH Monitor and Control System manufactured by Coastal Carolina Supply in
Morehead City, INC, could effectively provide on a continuous basis, an average pl-I range of 6-9 units
on the supernato layer of a stormwater/rinse water sedimentation basin typically found at. Itedi-mix
concrcto facilities,
,SCOPE OF WORK
During thcweek ofAugurt 1 1, 2003, G-C. Environmental, Inc„ witnesses! the operation ofthe Model
5000-S self-contained pH M onitoring and Control Systern at a Rzdi-mix plant located in Durham, NC.
During tha two (2) day test program, measurements were- made within the facilities stormwater/rinse
water sedimentation basin for pl-I, temperature and depth (both supernate and sludge), During the firA
day of testing, the basin wa_q lbund to be heavily loaded with solids and adjustments were made to the
solids blanket to complete testing; the following day.
TEST METHODOLOGY
A primary sedimentation basin located at a Rodi-mix concrete plant 10cated in Durham, NC was
treated utilizing the Model 5000-S pH Monitor and Control System, During the lest program, the
basin was, on a semi -continuous basis, being fed rinse water Cram the exterior cleaning of cement
trucks. Measurements for pH, temperature, supernate and sludge blankets were made within the
sedimentation basin, Initial pH measuroments showed pl i levels of at least 12.0 units, The
sedimentation basin was rectangular in shape with concrete walls and bottom. The basin ranged in
depth of 1 " at the inlet to approximately Y at the deepest point. Sludge measurements within the basin
showed that at least 2/3 of the basins depth was comprised of sludge and the remainder supernate.
The Model 5000-S pH Monitor and Contro[ System was setup atthe rectangular sedimantation basin
with the intake and discharge hoses situated at opposite ends of the basin. Both the intake and
discharge finis were sot at depths within the supernate layer of the basin. A clockwise flow pattern
was established once the unit began operation and pat and temperature measurements were made at
several locations throughout the supernate layer of the sedimentation basin. Approximate[y eighteen
(18) pl-I and tcmperat.ure meusiurements were collected with it mean pH value of Ljs and mean
temperature values of;0.94 *C. 'I•he pH system was left to run essentiaOy on a continuous ha.qis over
a four (4) hour period. An estimated volume existing within the sedimentation basin was 25, 000
gallons with a little over 8000 gallons consisting of relatively clear supernate. The amount of 25%
n
L
Sulfuric acid (H,SO,) used to treat the sedimentation basing supernato was approximately 18-20
MODEL 5000-S PFI MONITOR AND CONTROL SYSTEM
The model 5000-S pH Monitor and Control System is comprised of a Hayward Power 1'1ow It (3/4
hp, 56 GPM) centrifugal sump which delivers raw water to a completely contained pH sensor
connected to a pki meter equipped with control relays which operate two (2) stenner (60 GPD) acid
injection pumps. The acid 25% Fl2.S0, is injected into the pump dischargo line which empties into the
sedimentation basin. Sulfuric acid is delivered to the system by 15 gallon earbuoys located outside of
the fiberglass weatherprool'enclosure which houses all of the aforementioned equipment. On top of
the enclosed is an alarm light which is tied into the pH meter which is activated when pH levels exceed
8,5 pH units or are below 6.0 units.
CONCLUSION
1, The Model 5000-S PH Monitor and Control System is an effective system for the pH balancing of
sedimentation basins which are used to collect ,gormwater runoff and rinse water, commonly found
at Red -mix concrete plant;t.
2. During the test program an average pfil of 8.54 Emits was measured in the subject sedimentation
basin with a rungo of 7.95 to 9.34 measured,
3. Sludge levels existing within the rectangular sedimentation ranged from 6.0 inches to 2.0 feet. PH'
vaiucs after pH stabilization at the sludge/supernate interl'ncu were approximately 12,0 units
re 1 4. For thistcst program, approximately 180 mgil of sulfate~ were added to the sedimentation basin as
a result orpH adjustment with 25% sulf"ric acid.
5. Thu 5000-S pH Monitor and Control System is FiAly automated and provides ii pH adjusted waste
water which could eff'cctively be reused within the itedi-mix concrete industry.

FORTRANS pH CONTROL SYSTEMS
FORTRANS pH CONTROL SYSTEMS are
completely automatic. They continually monitorltest
the pH of the influent water and compares it to the
pH setting of the control unit. If a change 1n pH is
detected, the controller activates the solenoid valve
for the CO2. The pH adjustment chemical is then fed
to the return side of the circulation pump until the
PH is again at the proper level set at the controller,
The unit will continuously circulate the water until a
change In pH is detected and the treatment cycle
begins once again. The unit also features a digital
pH meter connected to a probe in the sample cell
to ensure unit Is functioning properly and that the
correct pH fevei Is maintained.
The pH CONTROL SYSTEMS are designed to
treat and maintain a specified pH level in a body or
water usually 100,000 gallons or less to allow the
permitted discharge of treated water to the
environment. Permits must be obtained from the
local governing agency to allow any discharge to the
environment. Treated water may be used for wetting
of rock and/or dust control to aid compliance with
stormwater run off regulations. Treated Water may
aiso be used in water recycling systems.
These systems offers precise monitoring and
control of the pH In settling basins, lagoons and
other outfall containment devices.
•The pH CONTROL SYSTEMS will treat up to
57 gallons per minute - max 20' head pressure.
Uniquo writer circulation design eliminates the need
for separate neutralization tank.
•1.5" quick connect fittings on inlet and return
for easy hook-up. The standard unit is equipped with
2-30'sections of 1.5" flexible hose with quick connect
fittings. Inlet and outlet fittings at the basin or lagoon
are per our specifications.
-Unit is shipped completely assembled. The
chemical controller is preprogrammed to maintain a
PH of 7.5. Just attach hoses and PVC fittings.
-1 year warranty on all component parts
and housing.

Practice Standards and Specifications
Definition A small, temporary ponding basin formed by an embankment or excavation
to capture sediment.
Purpose To detain sediment -laden runoff and trap the sediment to protect receiving
streams, lakes, drainage systems, and protect adjacent property,
Conditions Where Specific criteria fir installation of temporary sediment trap are as follows:
Practice Applies At the outlets of diversions, ofiannels, slope drains, or other runoff
conveyances that discharge sediment -laden water.
• Below areas that are draining S acres or less.
• Where access can be maintained for sediment removal and proper
disposal.
In the approach to a stormwater inlet located below a disturbed area as
part of mi inlet protection system.
• Structure life limited to 2 years.
A temporary sediment trap should not be located in an intermittent or
perconia! stream.
Planning Select locations for sediment traps during site evaluation. Note natural
Cd1151Cjer�tiOrlS drainage divides and select trap sites so that runofrfrorn potential sediment -
producing areas can easily be diverted into the traps., Ensure the drainage
areas for each trap does not exceed S acres. Install temporary sediment traps
before land disturbing takes place withir3 the drainage area.
Mako traps readily accessible for periodic sediment removal and other
necessary maintenance. Plan locations for sediment disposal as part of trap
site selection. Clearly designate all disposal areas on the plans.
In preparing plans for sediment traps, it is important to consider provisions to
proteet the embankment from fal lure from storm runoff th at exceeds the design
capacity. Locate bypass outlets so that flow will not damage the embaukment.
Direct emergency bypasses to undisturbed natural, stable areas. If a bypass is
not possible and failure would have severe consequences, consider alternative
s ites.
Sediment trapping is achieved primarily by settling within a pool formed by
an embankment. The sediment pool may also be formed by excavation, or by
a combination of excavation and a abaukmment. Sediment -trapping efficiency
is a function of surface area and inflow rate (Practice 6.61. Sedimem Basin).
Therefore, maxintize the surface area In the design. Because porous baffles
improve flow distribution across the basin, high length to width rados are not
necessary to reduce short-circuiting and to optimize efficiency.
Because .well planned sediment traps are key measures to preventing off -
site - sedimentation, they should be installed in the first stages of project
development.

Embankment —Ensure that embankments for temporary sediment traps do
not exceed 5 feet in height. Measure from the center line ofthe original ground
surface to the top of the embankment. Keep the crest of the spillway outlet
a minimum of 1.5 feet below the settled top of the embankment. Freeboard
may be added to die embankment height to allow flow through a designated
bypass location. Construct embankments with a minimum top width of 5 feet
and side slopes of 2:1 or flatter. Machine compact embankments.
Taeavation Where sediment pools are formed or enlarged by excavation,
keep side slopes at 2:1 or flatter for safety.
Outlet section —Construct the sediment trap outlet using a stone section of
the embankment located of the low point in the basin. The stone section serves
t►wa purposes: (1) the top section serves as a non -erosive spillway outlet for
flood flows; and (2) the bottom section provides a means of dcwatering the
basin bettiween rUnDff events.
Stone size —Construct the outlet using well -graded stones with a d" size of 9
inches (Class B erosion control stone is recommended,) and a maximum stone

size of 14 inches. The entire upstream face of the rock struchire should be
covered with fine gravel (NCDOT #57 or #5 wash stone) a minimutu of 1 foot
thick to reduce the drainage rate.
Side slopes --Keep the side slopes of the spillway section at 2:1 or flatter.
To protect the embankment, keep the sides of the spillway at least 21 inches
thick.
Depth —Tire basin should be excavated 1.5 feet below grade.
Stone spillway height —The sediment storage depth should be a minimntn of
2 fact and a maximum of 3.5 feet above grade.
Protection &am piping —Place filter cloth on the foundation below the riprap
to prevent piping. An alternative would be to excavate a keyway trench across
the riprap foundation and up the sides to the height of the dam.
Weir length and depth —Keep the spillway weir at least 4 feet long and sized
to pass the pcak discharge of the 10-year storm (Figure 6.60a). A roaximutn
flow depth of six inches, a minimum freeboard of I foot, aril maximum side
slopes of2:1 are recommended. Weir length may be selected ftom Fable 6.60a

CONFIRM RETENTION TIME FOR SETTLING PURPOSES
This skimmer basin is designed for the 10 Year - 5 Minute Storm. Any storm Intensity beyond
this design event could overwhelm the system. However, such inflow would still be treated by
this basin. All storm water will be channeled into the basin and be forced to flow its entire
length. Water escaping the system via the emergency spillway will be free of any large
suspended particles, and depending upon time spent in the basin the majority of the suspended
fines should also settle.
For suitability purposes only the smallest particles from each of the Drainage Areas will be
analyzed. From the plant yard it is anticipated that "Very Fine" sands lost from the aggregate
stockpiles would be the smallest suspended particles introduced into the stormwater basin.
Then, from the grassed field the smallest particles would be expected to be silts & clays eroded
from any exposed surfaces.

Conclusions
This system is adequate to suspend any particles lost from the plant yard itself. However,
there could be some particles from the Grass Field that may not be able to adequately settle out
prior to being released from the system. Since Clays are so small they require extremely
long retention times in order to completely settle, which are not feasible to reach during storm
events.
The only way to ensure that the amount of suspended clays flowing out of the system is within
a tolerable level is to prevent their introduction to the system. It is recommended that ground
cover is provided anywhere there are exposed & erodible soils. It is also beneficial to slow all
flowing water with rock check dams so that erosion does not occur in ditchlines.
The combination of this Skimmer Basin and the BMP's discussed above will produce an effective
stormwater treatment system.

PROJECT: U-2524
DESCRIPTION: Greensboro Western Urban Loop
SUBJECT/TASK: Calculate "Wash Water" Volume from Concrete Plant Operations & Design Treatment System
CALCULATED BY: RML
DATE: 7/20/2015
UhJective:
Lane Construction has proposed to construct and operate a temporary portable concrete
batch plant to facilitate the construction of the above referenced project. Given the provided
technical information regarding concrete plant operations, specific to this plant and project,
the volume of "Wash Water" needs to be calculated and a treatment system needs to be
designed.
Wash Water:
There are two sources of "Wash Water_" The first being the water used to wash out the beds
of the wet batch hauling concrete dump trucks after each load. This operation is completed
by spraying the truck bed with a fire hose. The wash water then flows from the truck bed into
the washout pit. Once the washout pit fills, washwater will be skimmed from the surface with a
pump and reused to spray out truck beds. {This is done as a water conservation effort.}
The second source of wash water is the water that is used to clean the plant's mixing drum upon
completion of each shift and as needed throughout the shift. This operation is completed by
spraying the drum, letting it mix then dumping the wash water into a loader bucket for
transport to the washout pit.

Setup and Detail of Treatment System
The Wash Water will contain waste concrete and as such there will be Suspended Solids.
Concrete is a mixture of Course Aggregate (Stone), Fine Aggregate (Sand), Cement
and Water. The aggregates will settle out of the wash water almost instantly and be
deposited at the base of the system'. However, the cement will require a much greater
settling time due to its average particle size being quite small. It is this cement particle that
this water treatment system is designed for.
As detailed on the plan sheet, this system will employ three basins which will work in series.
The first basin is the "Washout Pit" which is where all the aggregates will settle out of the
wash water, leaving only the cement particles to flow into basin 2 which is the "Settling Basin."
The "Settling Basin" is where the fine particles (Cement) will settle out of suspension. As
designed, this basin is to have a 4:1 Length to Width Ratio in order to maximize the amount
of time required for wash water to flow through the basin. Being that the settling time in this
basin is so imperative, baffles are also to be installed to ensure that "Short Circuiting" is not
possible. (Four Baffles are to be installed dividing this basin into Five equal size chambers.)
From the "Settling Basin" the wash water will move into basin 3 which is the "PH Reduction"
basin. Since cement is very alkaline (pH 12-13) it is necessary to monitor and control the wash
water prior to it's release from this system. A "Fortran" system will be setup at basin 3 which
will ensure that pH levels are acceptable prior to release. (Please see the manufacturers
specifications, which are included in the Appendix, for details and performance expectations)
Upon release from the "pH Reduction" basin wash water will then disperse and flow across
approximately 200' of undisturbed grass field prior to reaching its receiving water, which is an
unnamed tributary of the Cape Fear River Basin.
It is also noteworthy that each basin will be connected by a "Rock Sediment Dam." These BMP
structures employ wide weir's which allow for a thin layer of surface water to slowly move
between each basin. The main purpose of a sediment dam is to "skim" the surface water
(cleanest water) from the upstream basin and allow it move on to the next basin in the series.
This "skimming" characteristic is essential for the proper operation of this system. It
essentially works to trap the smallest particles (cement) that are suspended in the wash water.
These tiny cement particles range in size with its smallest particle being only 1 Micron in
diameter. The retention time required to completely settle out a 1 Micron particle is
extremely difficult to provide. However, creating a system that traps these minute particles is
much more feasible. This system is designed to trap suspended particles in each basin, the
smallest of which will be trapped and eventually settled out in basin 2, the "Settling Basin."

Analyze Settlement of Particles too Fine to Completely Settle uut
Realistically most of the suspended cement particles have settled out in the Washout Pit.
Then, an additional amount of suspended cement settled out at the Rock Sediment Dam.
However, for an increased factor of safety the analysis of basin 2 is to be performed with the
assumption that all suspended cement has passed from basin 1 into basin 2.

Total Settling Time Provided by Basin 2: 11.21 Days * Calculated Previously
Therefore:
1.5. Micron sized particles are the largest that might not completely settle out.
These particles will need to be "Trapped" to prevent them from moving on.
5ettling Required to Ettectively "Trap" Suspended Particles
Depth of Basin (At outlet Weir): 3 Ft
Length of Basin: 200 Ft
Assuming that flow is spread equally across width of basin (Baffles should ensure this) settling
time of suspended particles will have a linear correlation to Basin Length. For an added
factor of safety assume that all suspended particles need to have settled at least one third of the
total weir depth to be considered effectively "trapped."
Settled depth of Smallest "Trapped" Particle (1 Micron) at Weir: 1 Ft
Retention time required to settle a 1 Micron particle to this depth: 11.38 Days

SYSTEM IS: Acceptable
Notes:
This System is Designed to effectively treat the wash water for a concrete plant
running at Daily Production Rate of 2,000 CY. The outflowing wash water from this
plant setup will be in conformance with the NCDENR allowable limits for pH, TSS & SS.
This is a temporary concrete plant setup which exists only to service an NCDOT
project. As such, the production rate of 2000 CY/Day will only be achieved a limited
number of times during its lifespan (Less than 2 yrs.). It should be expected that this
system of containment basins will be dry for.approximately 70% of their existence.
During these dry periods there will be no outflowing wash water at all.
(Zero TSS, SS, and no pH to Consider)
The Fortran System will be installed to treat the outflowing wash water which will
develop during high production intervals. Since these high production intervals are
anticipated to be infrequent the "pH reduction" basin will be dry for the majority of its
existence. During times where the "pH Reduction" basin is dry, the installed Fortran
System will be inactive.
The wash out basin shall be inspected daily during high production intervals and be
cleaned as necessary. It is important that aggregates and settled fines do not impair
the effectiveness of the Rock Sediment Dam leading into the Settling Basin.
Accumulated aggregates and settled fines shall be properly removed and disposed of
by the Lane.
The settling basin shall be inspected regularly and maintained as necessary. It is
important to ensure that the installed baffles are functioning properly (spreading flow
across width of basin). Replace/Repair any deficient baffles as necessary. Settled
fines are to be removed by Lane as frequently as possible (When dry) to reduce
the risk of their re -introduction into system. At a minimum, settled fines are to be
removed when any basin chamber is 20% full.
