The Division of Water Quality (DWQ) has received the Sediment Removal Final Report for B V
Hedrick [impacts to UT to UT #3 at Kings Mountain Camp, from the Green River Quarry] from
Altamont Environmental, Inc., related to the Notice of Violation NOV-2011-PC-0026.
DWQ has reviewed the information provided and conducted a follow-up site visit on April 18, 2011
(along with Tim Fox, Henderson County Erosion Control). The written response and the results
observed at the site have satisfactorily resolved the violations noted in the subject Notice of
Violation and Recommendation for Enforcement. It was noted that sediment had been removed
along the I060 linear feet of stream and'the small dam had also been removed. A buffer had been
planted along the area that was disturbed to access the dam.
This letter in no way precludes this Office for talking action on this or any other violation.
Violations are subject to civil penalty assessment of up to $25,000.00 per day for each
violation. Should you have any questions regarding these matters, please contact me at (828) 296-

The Division of Water Quality has received correspondence from Altamont Environmental, Inc.
dated February 9, 2011 (along with clarification correspondence dated February 21, 2011), in
response to the NOV noted above. The proposal includes the removal of sediment from an
unnamed tributary to UT#3 at King's Mountain Camp. Sediment from approximately 1060 linear
feet of stream will be removed manually through bucket and shovel method. A rubber tired back
hoe with a front end loader will be used to remove the temporary sandbag dam and the
accumulated sediment behind the dam (as described in the correspondence dated February 21,
2011). Supervision of the work will also be as described in the February 21, 2011 correspondence.
Where the area has been disturbed by the back hoe, replanting with native plantings shall be of the
density described by Guidelines for Riparian Buffer Restoration (October 2004).
The remedial actions presented in the response have been found satisfactory and are approved.
Activities involved in this approved plan, as well as submittal of the final report, are to be

Dear Ms. Wilson,
The letter is in response to your ernail dated February 16, 2011 which address questions regarding the
subject Sediment Removal Plan. You inquired specifically about the track hoe work required for removal of
sediment and sandbags, and more specifically how many times the track hoe will have to travel up and down
the bank from the access road to the stream in order to remove the sediment that has accumulated behind
the temporary sand bag dam.
To address your question, the temporary sand bag dam and the sediment behind it will be removed with a
rubber tired back hoe equipped with a front end loader bucket during dry weather. The rubber -tired machine
will cause less disturbance to the ground surface than a steel tracked machine (track hoe).
In order to reduce the amount of times the back hoe will travel between the access road and the stream,
Altamont proposes the following modification to the Sediment Removal flan, The sand bags and sediment
that has accumulated behind the temporary sand bag dam will be rerrloved with the back hoe machine until
approximately half of the sediment has been removed. From this point forward sediment and sandbags will
be removed by hand and will be shoveled into the front end loader bucket. Tile sediment and sand bags will
then be transported to the access road where the back hoe will transfer the sediment and sand bags into a
truck that will transport the sed€meat to the spoil area. Hand shoveling will be implemented in a manner
that will disturb as little of the natural channel bottom as possible and to prevent over -widening the stream,
The back hoe will make approximately 15 trips up and down the bank from the access road from to the
stream in order to remove the sediment from behind the dam. It is anticipated that this activity will be
completed in less than one day.
Removal and transport of sediment without the assistance of a back hoe will rcquirc n-)any more trips up and
down the bank which will likely result in more damage, and will extend the period of time needed to
complete the work, Therefore, it is anticipated that there will be a shorter duration of sediment impact to the

stream if the dam and sediment behind the dam is removed in one day utilizing the back hoe rather than
over a one week long period if sediment is removed by hand.
Your email also inquired about Altamont's supervisory role during sediment removal activities. After the.plan
has been approved by DWQ, Altamont will meet with the crew performing the sediment removal activities on
site before sediment removal activities begin. During the meeting Altamont will outline how the work will be
implemented as stated in the plan. Altamont will converse at the beginning of each work day and follow-up
at the end of each work day, and will also be available by phone or other should questions arise from the
crew during sediment removal activities. Additionally, Altamont will continually oversee all sediment removal
activities completed with the back hoe to avoid over -widening of the stream channel.
Thank you for your time and consideration on this project. Please feel free to call or respond if you have any
additional questions or comments related to this project.

Inspection summary:
Susan Wilson and Chuck Cranford performed a site inspection at the B V Hedrick - Green River Quarry on January 5,
2011. The site inspection was performed due to the reported loss of sediment from a basin on -site (after a significant
rainfall event in Henderson County in early December 2010). Jason Conner of Hedrick reported the incident to Land
Quality and Land Quality (Shawna Riddle) alerted DWQ of the incident (in December).
Sediment was noted in the tributary downstream of the basin. Approximately 1000 LF of an unnamed tributary to UT#3 at
Kings Mountain Camp, a Class C-Trout water body, was impacted by sediment (in pockets throughout the stream reach of
at least 3- 6 inches).
Sediment likely reached UT#3 at Kings Mountain Camp (mainstem) - but both upstream and downstream of the UT was
impacted by sediment, so Hedrick could not be determined to be the responsible party. Also, the access road running
near the UT##3 at Kings Mountain Camp (mainstem below unnamed tributary) showed signs of runoff and erosion to the
river - but due to the high velocity in the stream near this area - sediment impacts could not be determined.
Although B V Hedrick did notify Land Quality of the incident, DWQ must also be notified within 24 hours (per Fart IV,
Section E.B. of NCG020000).

Jason — should I address this NOV to you? Or is there another contact person I should send it to? (or make sure I copy?)
I've spoken with Roger about it — (but due to the weather last week I haven't gotten it on his desk yet). I told him you'd
likely be calling him. By the time it gets peer reviewed — I should have it to Roger by tomorrow.
Thanks much.

1.0 Introduction
B. V. Hedrick Gravel & Sand Company (Hedrick Industries) received a Notice of Violation (NOV) from
the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources, Division of Water Quality
(DWQ) dated January 19, 2011 (Appendix A)• The NOV was issued for impacts to an unnamed
tributary (UT) at the Green River Quarry Site off Spartanburg Highway in Flat Rock, North Carolina
(Figures 1 and 2).
2.0 Stream Description and Impact Summary
The Green River Quarry was inspected by the DWQ after voluntarily reporting sediment impacts to
the referenced tributary. The sediment impacts resulted from localized erosion.on the slope of
Sediment Basin F after a. significant rainfall event in Henderson County -in early December 2010.
Sediment from the slope has impacted approximately 1;060 linear feet of the UT downstream of
Basin F to the confluence with UT #3 at Kings Mountain Camp. UT #3 at Kings Mountain Camp is a
blue line stream on the US Geological Survey (USGS) topographic map (Hendersonville SE and
Zirconia NE quadrangles) and is classified as a C Trout stream. Based on Altamont Environmental,
Inc.'s (Altamont) observations of the site on February 4, 2011 and the National Wetlands Inventory
map, it does not appear that wetlands were impacted by the sediment released into the impacted
UT. The impacted UT accumulated pockets of sediment ranging in thickness from 0.2 to 0.5 feet.
3.0 Sediment Removal Plan of Action
3.1 Sediment Removal Technique
Altamont is a qualified environmental consultant experienced in stream restoration (see Appendix
B—Resumes of Qualified Individuals) that has been contracted to observe and direct sediment
removal activities such that, to the extent possible, only unnatural upland sediments are removed,
impacts to the stream are minimized, and impact avoidance measures are in place and working as
effectively as possible during removal activities.
Recently deposited sediment resulting from the erosion of the Basin F slope will be removed from
the existing stream channel between stations 0+00 and 10+60 (Figure 2). The limits of sediment
deposits identified in this plan are approximate. It shall be the responsibility of the persons
conducting sediment removal activities to remove all unnatural sediment within the limits shown.
Sediment that is.removed from the stream and flood plain areas will be stabilized in accordance
with this plan (Section 3.3).
Due to the size of the stream and limited access, all sediment removal, with the exception of that
deposited behind a temporary sandbag dam at station 2+10 (Section 3.1.1), will be removed using
hand tools. Specifically; recently deposited sediment resulting from the erosion of the Basin F slope
will be removed using shovels and buckets to carry the sediment to a small truck positioned on an
access road to the north of the impacted UT to be hauled to the spoil area (Section 3.3).
Sediment originating from the Basin F slope is a reddish -brown, medium to fine silty sand that is
recognizably different than the brown fine sandy silt that makes up the channel banks and the
coarse, rounded, sand, gravel and bedrock that are native to the stream channel (Appendix C,
Photo 4). All soil removal will stop when native soils and channel material are encountered.
Reshaping or stabilizing the existing stream banks is considered beyond the scope of this project.
All stream banks along this reach of stream are to remain undisturbed. Root wads, branches,
PAHedrick Industries\Green River Quarry NOV Response\Sediment Removal PIan.Docx

Sediment Removal Plan February 9, 2011
B. V. Hedrick Gravel & Sand Company Page 2
stones, and cobbles provide friction within the stream channel to dissipate the energy of flowing
water. All such elements are to remain within the stream channel. Under no circumstances are
existing roots to be cut and removed from the stream.
Deeper pools naturally occur in the outer bends of stream beds. Care is to be taken to ensure that
all sediment is removed from these features. The straighter riffle areas of the stream are naturally
shallower than the bends. The depth of both natural and unnatural sediment in these locations will
vary. The persons conducting sediment removal activities is not to assume that a uniform depth of
soil can be removed from the stream bed.
Where practical, the transport of all removed sediment is to take place on a single side of the
stream in order to minimize disturbance to the streambanks. Care will be taken to impact the
stream channel and bank to the minimum extent possible. If streambanks are disturbed by
sediment removal they will be stabilized using a riparian seed mix complete with nursery crop of
annual grain and mulch. 11
3.1.1 Temporary Dam Removal
Hedrick Industries acquired permission from the US Army Corps of Engineers to construct a
temporary dam at station 2+10 with sand bags in order to create an impoundment to pump water
for dust suppression on -site at the Green River Quarry. This dam has accumulated approximately
742.5 cubic feet of sediment (Appendix C, Photo 7). Hedrick Industries intends to remove the
temporary dam along with the sediment that it has accumulated.
Sediment removal activities immediately upstream of the dam will utilize a small rubber -tired back
hoe to access the dam from an access road located to the north of the impacted UT. Efforts to
create minimal disturbance to the streambank and riparian buffer will be practiced by making as
few trips as possible between the access road and the stream and by using one access route. Any
disturbance caused by the machinery will be repaired by smoothing out the disturbed surface,
installing native transplanted vegetation selected from Hedrick Industries' property (selected plants
will be comparable to three -gallon -size potted plants), and will include installation of native seed;
mulch, and leaf litter.
Sediment will be removed from behind the dam slowly by skimming layers from the top of the
sediment deposit and working down to the native stream channel. Layers of sand bags will be
removed sequentially as removal of the sediment exposes sandbags in order to prevent significant
impoundment of sediment -laden water behind the sandbags and its release during removal of the
sandbags.
3.2 Turbidity Reduction Technique
The slope of Basin F, the source of the sediment that impacted the UT, has been repaired with
compacted fill, rip rap, and crushed stone to prevent further erosion and sediment impacts
(Appendix C, Photo 1).
Efforts to reduce turbidity will be implemented by conducting sediment removal work during dry
weather periods and during base flow conditions or lower. Sediment removal work will be
conducted from the streambank minimizing disturbance to the stream as much as possible.
Sediment removal work will be conducted from upstream to downstream. Additionally, hay bales
will be temporarily installed just downstream of removal activities to create a sediment capture
area in an attempt to prevent turbidity standard exceedances. Accumulated sediment will be
removed from these areas before hay bales are removed.

Sediment Removal Plan 0 0 February 9, 2011
B. V. Hedrick Gravel & Sand Company Page 3
3.3 Sediment Removal Disposal
The removed sediment will be carried up to the access road to the north of the impacted UT where
a small truck will carry the sediment to the proposed spoil area as shown on Figure 2.
Altamont will oversee placement and stabilization of the removed sediment in the upland area in a
fashion that will not result in the reintroduction of that sediment to surface water. The sediment
will be permanently stabilized by promoting the establishment of grassy vegetation on the disposal
area by installing a seed mix, mulch, and fertilizer. Additionally, silt fencing will be installed at the
downslope sides of the sediment disposal area.
4.0 Proposed Schedule
Sediment removal activities will commence within one week of receiving approval from the DWQ. It
is anticipated that the time to complete the work will not exceed two weeks, weather and flow
conditions permitting,
It should be noted that the impacted UT flows into a class C trout stream. Altamont understands
that a trout moratorium is in effect from October 15, 2010 to April 15, 2011. Altamont informed Mr.
Dave McHenry of the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission on February 8, 2011, through a
voicemail message, of the intended schedule of the project. Work will not commence until Mr.
McHenry has contacted Altamont and given notice to proceed with the sediment removal activities.

Inspection Summary:
Susan Wilson and Chuck Cranford performed a site inspection at the B V Hedrick - Green River Quarry on .January 5,
2011. The site Inspection was performed due to the reported loss of sediment from a basin on -site (after a significant
rainfall event in Henderson County in early December 2010). Jason Conner of Hedrick reported the incident to Land
Quality and Land Quality (Shawna Riddle) alerted DWQ of the incident (in December)
Sediment was noted in the tributary downstream of the basin. Approximately 1000 LF of an unnamed tributary to UT#3 at
Kings Mountain Camp, a Class C-Trout water body, was impacted by sediment (in pockets throughout the stream reach of
at least 3- 6 inches).
Sediment likely reached UT#3 at Kings Mountain Camp (mainstem) - but both upstream and downstream of the UT was
impacted by sediment, so Hedrick could not be determined to be the responsible party. Also, the access road running
near the UT#3 at Kings Mountain Camp (mainstem below unnamed tributary) showed signs of runoff and erosion to the
river - but due to the high velocity in the stream near this area - sediment impacts could not be determined.
Although B V Hedrick did notify Land Quality of the incident, DWQ must also be notified within 24 hours (per Part W,
Section E.8. of NCG020000)
