Continue on Route 1 South to Route 64 West towards Pittsboro. After crossing over the lake, take Exit 386 and follow Hwy 64 West Business into Pittsboro. Just before Hardee's fast food restaurant, make a left onto Small Street (this left occurs just before the circle in the middle of Pittsboro). Continue approximately two blocks and make a right onto East Chatham Street_ Chandler Concrete is located at the corner of Small and East Chatham Street. (II) FACILITY DESCRIPTION: The facility is a truck mix concrete batch plant with a maximum capacity of 120 cubic yards per hour. There are three silos for cement and/or flyash, a cement batcher, and areas of bulk sand and gravel storage along the perimeter of the yard. Standard safety equipment for a cement plant visit is recommended; hard hat, safety glasses, safety vest, and steel toed shoes. (III) INSPECTION SUMMARY: On July 16, 2015, I (Lori Ann Phillips) inspected Chandler Concrete's Pittsboro plant as part of a multi -media pilot program inspection that also included a stormwater program inspection. I arrived at the plant at approximately 10:10 AM and met with Ken Waegerle, EHS Manager, Brian Teague, Production Manager, and Warren Cotton, Plant Manager. When I arrived on site, a cement truck had just -been loaded and a puff of dust lasting approximately 15-20 seconds was observed from either the baghouse or the weight batcher. I was standing on the opposite side of the plant and was unable to determine from where the dust originated. The dust cloud moved off the property towards the trees along a public greenway to the west of the plant. The opacity of this dust cloud could not be determined due to short duration and lack of an appropriate background/observer's location. In April of this year, the facility was inspected by David Miller and some baghouse issues were noted at that time. According to Mr. Waegerle, the facility has undergone some maintenance to ensure compliance with their air permit and keep dusting to a minimum. The facility was currently working on a software change to slow the speed of the weigh batcher gate, which should greatly reduce anydust released at the end of a batch. We sat down and reviewed the newly issued air permit and the facility's records for their baghouse. The company inspects the baghouse on a weekly basis. They check the floor, the seal, the structure, the bags, and they make daily visual inspections. The records are kept in a notebook and appeared to be in good order. At the time of my inspection, the facility appeared to be well maintained from an air quality standpoint.

PO Box 131 Burlington, NC 27216 Subject: NPDES Stormwater Compliance Evaluation Inspection Certificate of Coverage No. NCG140086 Chandler Concrete / Piedmont Inc. — Pittsboro I I I Concrete Plant Chatham County Dear Mr. Waegerle: Lori Ann Phillips from the Department of Environmental and Natural Resources conducted a stormwater inspection on July 16, 2015, as part of a multimedia inspection of your facility. Your assistance during the inspection was greatly appreciated. The inspection report is attached. Findings during the inspection were as follows: Certificate of Coverage (COC) No. NCG140086 under NPDES general permit NCG140000 was issued to Chandler Concrete / Piedmont Inc. — Pittsboro I I I to discharge stormwater runoff and process wastewater to an unnamed tributary of Robeson Creek. 2. A review of the facility's Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) indicated that it included all of the components required by the general permit. However, the following items were noted: • The plan has not been updated since August 17, 2011. The permit requires that the plan be updated at least annually. • The detailed site map of the facility has not been updated since 2002. Current conditions at the site were not accurately reflected in the detailed site map provided. 3. Qualitative and analytical monitoring have not been conducted for the past couple years at the only stormwater discharge outfall (SDO). The facility has indicated that "no flow" conditions have existed as the reason for not conducting monitoring as required by the permit. There were no discharge present at the outfall during the inspection.

Significant freeboard was available in the stormwater pond. 4. There were some low areas along the block wall on the western side of the property where stormwater might be leaving the property by filtering through the wall to the public greenway in the adjacent property rather than flowing across the subject property to the stormwater pond. It is suggested that these low areas be filled in and properly graded to allow for stormwater containment within the property. 5. The only SDO was observed during the inspection and was found maintained and accessible. 6. There was a small leak from the pump at the lower pond that allowed for some surface water flow towards the property boundary. This comingled process and stormwater was leaving the property under a fence into an adjoining neighbor's yard. It is suggested that this leak be corrected to prevent any process water from leaving the subject property. Please respond in writing regarding Items 2, 4, and 6 within 60 days of receipt of this letter. If you have any questions regarding the attached report or any of the findings, please contact Lori Ann Phillips at 919-791-4200 (or email: lori.phillips a ncdenngov). Sincerely, Jo .

The stormwater pollution prevention plan (SPPP) was reviewed and found to contain all components necessary for compliance. The facility was reminded to keep this doucment updated annually, as the last documented update was from August of 2011. Stormwater releases from the secondary containment areas were being documented. Analytical and qualitative monitoring have not been conducted in the past couple years due to recorded no Flow discharges at the facility's only outfall. The last analytical sample was collected in May of 2013. The location of the outfall is such that it would take a large storm event to cause a discharge over the gravel perimeter of the pond. The facility has recently installed additional sediment settling chambers and maintains significant freeboard in their ponds. The facility uses a sprinkler system to wet sand and aggregates. At the time of the inspection, some low areas along the block wall that surrounds the western side of the facilty were noted. It was suggested that these areas be bermed up a bit to redirect stormwater from filtering through the block to the greenway trail in the ajoining property to the facility's stormwater pond. A pump from the detention pond was leaking some water that appeared to be making its way off the property at the south end of the pond. This was pointed out to facility personnel so that the leak could be remedied. Overall, the facilty appeared to be clean and managed in such a way to meet the overall intent of the stormwater permit. Air quality inspection results are included under separate report.

PO Box 131 Burlington, NC 27216 Subject: NPDES Stormwater Compliance Evaluation Inspection Certificate of Coverage No. NCG140086 Chandler Concrete / Piedmont Inc. — Pittsboro 111 Concrete Plant Chatham County Dear Mr. Waegerle: Lori Ann Phillips from the Department of Environmental and Natural Resources conducted a stormwater inspection on July 16, 2015, as part of a multimedia inspection of your facility. Your assistance during the inspection was greatly appreciated. The inspection report is attached. Findings during the inspection were as follows: Certificate of Coverage (COC) No. NCG140086 under NPDES general permit NCG140000 was issued to Chandler Concrete / Piedmont Inc. — Pittsboro I I I to discharge stormwater runoff and process wastewater to an unnamed tributary of Robeson Creek. 2. A review of the facility's Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) indicated that it included all of the components required by the general permit. However, the following items were noted: • The plan has not been updated since August 17, 2011. The permit requires that the plan be updated at least annually. • The detailed site map of the facility has not been updated since 2002. Current conditions at the site were not accurately reflected in the detailed site map provided. 3. Qualitative and analytical monitoring have not been conducted for the past couple years at the only stormwater discharge outfall (SDO). The facility has indicated that "no flow" conditions have existed as the reason for not conducting monitoring as required by the permit. There were no discharge present at the outfall during the inspection.

Significant freeboard was available in the stormwater pond. 4. There were some low areas along the block wall on the western side of the property where stormwater might be leaving the property by filtering through the wall to the public greenway in the adjacent property rather than flowing across the subject property to the stormwater pond. It is suggested that these low areas be filled in and properly graded to allow for stormwater containment within the property. 5. The only SDO was observed during the inspection and was found maintained and accessible. 6. There was a small leak from the pump at the lower pond that allowed for some surface water flow towards the property boundary. This comingled process and stormwater was leaving the property under a fence into an adjoining neighbor's yard. It is suggested that this leak be corrected to prevent any process water from leaving the subject property. Please respond in writing regarding Items 2, 4, and 6 within 60 days of receipt of this letter.

The stormwater pollution prevention plan (SPPP) was reviewed and found to contain all components necessary for compliance. The facility was reminded to keep this doucment updated annually, as the last documented update was from August of 2011. Stormwater releases from the secondary containment areas were being documented. Analytical and qualitative monitoring have not been conducted in the past couple years due to recorded no Flow discharges at the facility's only outfall. The last analytical sample was collected in May of 2013. The location of the outfall is such that it would take a large storm event to cause a discharge over the gravel perimeter of the pond. The facility has recently installed additional sediment settling chambers and maintains significant freeboard in their ponds. The facility uses a sprinkler system to wet sand and aggregates. At the time of the inspection, some low areas along the block wall that surrounds the western side of the facilty were noted. It was suggested that these areas be bermed up a bit to redirect stormwater from filtering through the block to the greenway trail in the ajoining property to the facility's stormwater pond. A pump from the detention pond was leaking some water that appeared to be making its way off the property at the south end of the pond. This was pointed out to facility personnel so that the leak could be remedied. Overall, the facilty appeared to be clean and managed in such a way to meet the overall intent of the stormwater permit. Air quality inspection results are included under separate report.

The items you listed as non- compliance I offer the following response: • Item 2 — There is ongoing training at this plant that exceeds the permit requirements. There was a failure to properly document this training. Any training will be documented from this time forth. • Item 3 —The qualitative monitoring was not filled for the fall of 2007 due to the fact that no discharge was observed. The plant personnel have been notified that if this occurs again it is to be documented on the qualitative monitoring form that there was no discharge observed during that particular reporting period. • Item 5 — The two containers that were labeled Lubricon and Accelerator have been removed from the property. One of the containers was empty and the other had approximately 400 gallons in the 3000-gallon container. The supplier for the admixtures at this location was in the process of being changed and these two tanks were not in use and had not been removed at the time of the inspection. The admixture tank that was noted last year was placed in the containment area and is not one of the two that was observed on April 18, 2008. The items listed above have all been rectified and you will find that this plant is now in compliance with the storm water permit regulations. I further request that no further action be taken.

Sullins, Director Division of Water Quality On April 18, 2008, Ms. Stephanie Brixey and Ms. Autumn Hoban of the Raleigh Regional Office conducted a stormwater inspection of Chandler Concrete Plant I I I in Pittsboro. Ronnie Maness was very helpful and his help was much appreciated as it eased the inspection process. The following observations were made: The facility does have a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) on site. The plan was last revised 8/16/2004. The Facility Inspection program includes monitoring discharge outfalls, quarterly housekeeping inspections, secondary containment releases, inspecting the dust collection system and inspecting for spills and releases. The General Permit states in Part II Section A.7, "The Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan shall be reviewed and updated on an annual basis. Revision dates should be included on the pages changed." 2. The last employee training on file was dated 10/24/2006. The General Permit states in Part II Section A.5, "Training schedules shall be developed and training provided for all employees at a minimum on an annual basis." Qualitative monitoring is conducted semi-annually but is not being performed as stated in the permit. The General Permit states in Part III Section F, "Qualitative monitoring will be performed twice per year, once in the spring (April - June) and once in the fall (September - November)." It was noted that this was conducted in July of 2007 and in April of 2008. This topic was discussed during the last inspection. 4. Analytical monitoring had been completed as required.

Klimek, P.E., Director Division of Water Quality This is in response to your letters dated February 20, 2007 concerning the Chandler Concrete facilities in Chatham County. I do want to clarify that the Notice of Violations were not issued based on the pH of the water stored on -site. I understand that the stormwater that flows from outfall 2 at the Siler City facility does not contain process water and that it is hard to collect a sample. The Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan at that facility specifies that this is an outfall and therefore will be monitored. If this is something you fill should be changed then the plan needs to be revised accordingly. Please note that if there is no discharge during the spring or fall as specified in the permit then this should be documented for the qualitative monitoring and kept on file.

As for the items you indicated as being in violation I offer these comments. Item 2. I contend that we are in compliance with the permit in that we did Qualitative Monitoring twice in 2005 and 2006. The reason it was not done.in the suggested time of April -June and September -November was because there was no discharge observed during these periods of time. Item 4. The tank in question was placed outside the containment vessel due to the lack of space. This particular admixture was added due to special job requirements after we had built the containment area. We are in the process of placing this tank in a containment area at the present time. This work should be complete within the next few days. Item 6. I do not question the reading you obtained on the pH, but I did notice that there was no water being discharged. I explained to you that this water is recycled back to the truck wash station and also used for dust control in order to eliminate discharges. The permit addresses the parameters of the water being discharged. It does not say that we can't contain water on our site that is outside those parameters. A pH control device has been ordered to keep any potential discharge of water in the range of 6-9. Item number 2 is not a violation for the reasons stated above. Item number 4 is being addressed right now, but at the present it would be very unlikely to present a problem off -site since any spill would be contained in the basins where we could capture POST OFFICE Box 131 • BURLINGTON, [NORTH CAROLINA 27216-0131 TELEPHONE: 336.226.1181 / FAX: 336.570.0557 Ms. Stephanie Brixey Division of Water Quality Pittsboro Plant # 111 and contained.

There has been much done to be in compliance with the General Storm Water Permit. This includes the development of the two books that you referenced, training on awareness and compliance, performing site inspections, cleaning property of potential environmental hazards, spending capital dollars in construction of settling ponds, construction of admixture containment just to name a few. As to your list of violations these are the responses. a) All of our employees receive annual training on all environmental issues. This occurs at each plant location and during our annual company wide training sessions held here in Burlington. Copies of that documentation will be added to the SW3P. b) There is a statement in the SW3P handbook on page 2 under Site Assessment that there have been no significant spills or leaks at this location in the past three years. This book was just revised this year. If a significant spill or leak occurs our people have been instructed to notify the proper authorities, make a notation of any such occurrence and place it in the SW3P book. c) Semi-annual inspections are required for all of our locations. This data has been kept in our corporate office. Copies of this data are being sent to this plant location. d) Annual sampling data is submitted to the State as per the permit requirements. Copies of this data have been kept at our corporate office. I was not aware that they needed to be on file at the individual locations. Copies are being sent to this plant location to be filed in the S WPPP. e) This is a very harsh negative statement. I disagree with you, there is evidence that much work has been done to comply with the permit requirements of implementing the plan. There has been training, inspections, sampling, proper preventative maintenance on the vehicles and plant, as well as implementing BMPs. I appreciate your recommendations. I will admit that more detail can always be added. Our philosophy is to always strive to meet or exceed permit requirements. We believe in keeping it simple, and covering the major issues and concerns. Several of your recommendations are not addressed in the actual permit. There is no mention as to the order of listing in the guidelines from the EPA. It is of our contention that all of the major items of the permit are covered. As I related to you in our meetings that there has to be some consideration as to the cost of compliance to these permits. For small, low volume locations such as this somethings are just not economically feasible. We would welcome any help from you as to how to economically adjust the pH of the water to be in compliance with the permit requirements. Chandler Concrete has already spent considerable dollars to improve this site in order to be in compliance with the permit. By construction of settling ponds and reusing the water we have reduced the discharge from this plant considerably. By the construction of the liquid admixture containment we have all but eliminated the possibility of any contaminated discharge. This plant has received an Honorable Mention in their Environmental Excellence contest sponsored by the National Ready Mixed Concrete Association (NRMCA) and Concrete Products magazine. This is further indication that this company takes environmental issues seriously. You stated that the industry has had ample time to bring these sites in compliance. I respond that the conditions under the original permit were changed drastically upon the renewal. Our industry has been working through the state and national associations to be in compliance with the storm water permitting. At the present time there is no economically feasible method to meet the discharge regulations. We will continue to strive to meet all permit requirements. Since there appears to be no violations of the General Storm Water Permit at this location I request that the NOV be rescinded. If not then I request the right to appeal.

I I I P.O. Box 131 Burlington, NC 27216 Subject: Notice of Violation Failure to Implement Stormwater Permit Permit No. NCG 140086 Pittsboro, NC Chatham County Dear Mr. Woody: On September 25, 2002 Mr. Myrl Nisely of the Raleigh Regional office of Division of Water Quality made a compliance inspection of Chandler Concrete Plant 111 in Pittsboro. The help of Ronnie Maness was appreciated. Documentation is in two three-ring binders, one labeled Stormwater SPPP and the other Environmental Handbook. The SPPP manual was issued in May, 2002. Together these provide the basic planning and forms to use, but there was little data to show execution and active compliance. Under the five year records retention requirement, there should have been records in the manual of an implemented stormwater program from about 1997 to the present. The following violations of Pittsboro Permit No. NCG140086 were observed: a) Employee training in May, 2002 appeared to have been provided only to Plant Manager Maness, not to all employees. As you explained in our meeting on 9/27/02, all employees actually do receive considerable training. Documentation of that needs to be in the SPPP binder. These will be added. b) There was no list of significant spills, or a signed page specific to this location stating that there had been none. Significant spills are defined as at or above the reportable quantity for that substance, but any spill large enough to be cleaned up should be called in to the Regional office and be recorded on the SPPP spill page. In Site Assessment c) No semi-annual site inspections were available At Corp. office, will be added. Chandler Concrete, October 1, 2002 p. 2 d) There was no evidence of annual sampling or certification that none was needed because of no discharge (Section B). In corp. office, will be added e) In summary, there has been almost no implementation of the plan per Section A9. Disagree with this harsh statement. Was based on what I could observe that day. On the plus side, the requirement in a letter of NOV dated November 29, 2001 to install secondary containment for admixture chemicals has been accomplished. In a meeting at the Raleigh Regional office on September 28 with Myrl Nisely and me, the following improvements in the Chandler program were recommended: • Consolidate the stormwater materials presently in the two binders into the site -specific SPPP binder • Organize the program elements in the same order they are listed in the permit. Tabs labeling the parts will be helpful to users and inspectors • For Part H Section A L(a), Prepare a USGS-type map "zoomed" in or out as necessary to show the facility's location in reference to transportation routes and the route of all stormwater discharges all the way to the receiving water(s). Clearly identify the name of receiving stream(s). • The narrative required in (b) should be detailed for each plant, in addition to the present general description of manufacturing processes. • Give considerable detail on the site map as requested in (c), including designations of the area served by each discharge, even if the flow away from the site is sheet flow. • Section A2. calls for a narrative of just what practices will be used to control stormwater. Considerable detail is given in this section of the permit. In particular, more detail is needed for the BMPs for each drain site. • Water held in the last pond measured a pH of 10.95. Any discharges to waters of the State must meet the 6 to 9 pH specified in the permit. You indicated that a means of lowering pH was being considered. Our office is requiring an Authorization to Construct for pH installations, any plant expansions and for new facilities. • Documentation of Section A4, Preventative Maintenance and Good Housekeeping should be in the manual, covering the details as described in that part of the permit. • As mentioned above, Section A5 employee training must be the SPPP manual. • Section A6, Responsible Party, should actually state a name in addition to job title as is now done. • A means of showing that an update of the SPPP was accomplished at least annually should be provided (and more often, if major changes are made at the plant). • Modification of the perimeter of the plant is underway to provide more parking space and better traffic options. This will be graded to take nearly all runoff into the pond system, and the last pond will be enlarged. A drain opening is planned for the block wall. Per 15A NCAC 2H.0140, these changes need to be certified by a professional engineer.
