FACT SHEET AND STATEMENT OF BASIS OLDCASTLE INFRASTRUCTURE RENEWAL PERMIT: DISCHARGE UPDES PERMIT NUMBER: UT0025577 MINOR INDUSTRIAL FACILITY CONTACTSContact:Ray Young Position: Production ManagerPhone Number:(801) 626-1310Person Name:Production Manager Position:Safety ManagerPhone Number:(801) 624-7032Permittee Name:Oldcastle InfrastructureFacility Name:Oldcastle Infrastructure Mailing and Facility Address:801 West 12th StreetOgden UT 84404Telephone:(801) 399-1171 DESCRIPTION OF FACILITY Oldcastle Infrastructure produces pre-cast concrete pipe and other concrete products. These products are manufactured with Portland cement, fly ash, and small aggregate rock. Oldcastle Infrastructure has a sediment pond that can contain up to 20,000 gallons of storm water runoff and process wastewater. The only time there is a discharge is during, or just after major precipitation events. Old castle Infrastructure has a Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) code of 3272, for “Concrete Products, except Block and Brick”. The sediment pond is just north of the pre-cast building. Outfall 001 flows into a 24 inch concrete storm drain on the north side of the sediment pond. Then flow’s approximately 1000’, where the Oldcastle Precast storm drain discharges into the Ogden City storm drain and discharges to the Plain City Canal which flows through the Ogden Nature Preserve thence to Mill Creek. The outfall of the pond is at latitude 41°14'40'' and longitude 112°00'00''. SUMMARY OF CHANGES FROM PREVIOUS PERMIT There have been no changes to facility operation. Stormwater has been removed from this permit. Previously storm water discharge requirements and coverage were combined in this individual permit. These have been separated to provide consistency among permittees, electronic reporting for storm water discharge monitoring reports, and increase flexibility to changing site conditions.See STORMWATER Section for more details on obtaining coverage. DISCHARGE DESCRIPTION OF DISCHARGE Almost all of the water that flows into the sediment pond is storm water runoff. There is some process wastewater which contributes about two thousand gallons a year to the sediment pond, thus the need for a Utah Pollutant Discharge Elimination Permit. The process wastewater consists of wash down water from the cleaning of products, boiler room water, quality assurance laboratory water, and some maintenance shop water. The parameters of concern in the discharge from Oldcastle Precast are total suspended solids (TSS), pH and oil and grease.OutfallDescription of Discharge Point 001 Located at latitude 41°14’40'' and longitude 112°00'00''. The discharge is through a 4-inch diameter pipe leading from the sedimentation pond into the Ogden City storm drain and discharges into the Plain City Canal thence to Mill Creek. RECEIVING WATERS AND STREAM CLASSIFICATION The final discharge flows into the Plain City Canal, thence to Mill Creek. Mill Creek is classified as 2B, 3C, 3D and 4 according to Utah Administrative Code (UAC) R317-2-13.4: Class 2B Protected for infrequent primary contact recreation. Also protected for secondary contact recreation where there is a low likelihood of ingestion of water or a low degree of bodily contact with the water. Examples include, but are not limited to, wading, hunting, and fishing. Class 3CProtected for nongame fish and other aquatic life, including the necessary aquatic organisms in their food chain. Class 3D Protected for waterfowl, shore birds and other water-oriented wildlife not included in Classes 3A, 3B, or 3C, including the necessary aquatic organisms in their food chain. Class 4 Protected for agricultural uses including irrigation of crops and stock watering. TOTAL MAXIMUM DAILY LOAD (TMDL) REQUIREMENTS According to the Utah’s 2024 303(d) Water Quality Assessment Report, the receiving water for the discharge is Mill Creek. Mill Creek is not assessed but it flows into Weber River (Weber River- 1, Weber River and tributaries from Great Salt Lake to Slaterville Diversion, UT16020102- 001_00) which is not supporting benthic macroinvertebrates. BASIS FOR EFFLUENT LIMITATIONS Limitations on total suspended solids (TSS), biochemical oxygen demand (BOD5), E. coli, pH and percent removal for BOD5 and TSS are based on current Utah Secondary Treatment Standards, UAC R317-1-3.2. The oil and grease is based on best professional judgment (BPJ). Attached is a Wasteload Analysis for this discharge into the unnamed irrigation ditch. It has been determined that this discharge will not cause a violation of water quality standards. An Antidegradation Level II review is not required since the Level I review shows that water quality impacts are minimal. The permittee is expected to be able to comply with these limitations. The permit limitations are: Reasonable Potential Analysis Since January 1, 2016, DWQ has conducted reasonable potential analysis (RP) on all new and renewal applications received after that date. RP for this permit renewal was conducted following DWQ’s September 10, 2015 Reasonable Potential Analysis Guidance (RP Guidance).There are four outcomes defined in the RP Guidance: Outcome A, B, C, or D. These Outcomes provide a frame work for what routine monitoring or effluent limitations are required A quantitative RP analysis was performed on(metal)to determine if there was reasonable potential for the discharge to exceed the applicable water quality standards. Based on the RP analysis, the following parameters exceeded the most stringent chronic water quality standard or were determined to have a reasonable potential to exceed the standard:(list metals).In addition, the RP analysis for (metals) indicates increase monitoring is required. A copy of the RP analysis is included at the end of this Fact Sheet.

The permit will require reports to be submitted monthly and annually, as applicable, on Discharge Monitoring Report (DMR) forms due 28 days after the end of the monitoring period. Effective January 1, 2017, monitoring results must be submitted using NetDMR unless the permittee has successfully petitioned for an exception. Lab sheets for biomonitoring must be attached to the biomonitoring DMR. Lab sheets for metals and toxic organics must be attached to the DMRs.

For purposes of calculating averages and reporting on the Discharge Monitoring Report form, the following will apply: 1) analytical values less than 0.02 mg/L shall be considered zero; and 2) analytical values less than 0.06 mg/L and equal to or greater than 0.02 mg/L will be recorded as measured.*fOil & Grease sampled when sheen is present or visible. If no sheen is present or visible, report NA. *gTotal residual chlorine monitoring frequency is (How Often?) times a week. The chlorine disinfection is a backup system to the ultra violet system and therefore should not be needed unless the ultra violet system has a failure and is by passed. The TRC limits are low enough to require analysis in the onsite lab which is open only 6 days a week. Frequency reduction will remove a requirement that the lab be opened for a 7th day. In case of a bypass on any day the lab is closed, (Permittee) will bring in lab personnel to open the lab for TRC analysis *hTheacute Ceriodaphnia will be tested during the 1stand 3rdquarters and the acute fathead minnows will be tested during the 2ndand 4thquarters. The chronic Ceriodaphnia will be tested during the 2ndand 4thquarters, and the chronic fathead minnows will be tested during the 1stand 3rdquarters. *iMetals results were reviewed for the last 36 months. Only selenium appeared to be close to the limits suggested in the Wasteload. After further review, and confirmation by a round of sampling in late November, early December of 2004, it was shown that the reporting limit for selenium for the onsite lab is above the suggested limits, and when samples are analyzed off site in a lab with lower reporting limits, selenium levels are under the reporting limit for the lab. No limits are required at this time. *jThe effluent shall not exceed the culinary source water intake by more than 400 mg/L of TDS (*******or the permittee could request 1 ton/day salt loading, or 366 tons/year*******).*kThese reflect changes required with the adoption of UAC R317-1-3.3, Technology-based Phosphorus Effluent Limits rule.Total Phosphorus Compliance Schedule:DateMilestoneDecember 31, 2019Complete monitoring only sampling for Total PhosphorusJanuary 1, 2020Comply with Final Total Phosphorus Effluent Limit *l(Pollutant or Pollutants) are being sampled in support of the work being done for the TMDL currently underway for the (Water Body). The Pollutants Of Concern (POC) will be monitored and reported (on a monthly basis by the facility on Discharge Monitoring Report, but will not have a limit associated with them /or at the end of each Calendar year of sampling for these POC’s), (Permittee) will report the results of all sampling done for the POC. If (Permittee) decides to sample more frequently for these POC’s, the additional data will be welcome. BIOSOLIDS The State of Utah has adopted the 40 CFR 503 federal regulations for the disposal of sewage sludge (biosolids) by reference.However, this facility does not receive, generate, treat or dispose of biosolids. Therefore 40 CFR 503 does not apply. STORM WATER Separate storm water permits may be required based on the types of activities occurring on site. Permit coverage under the Multi Sector General Permit (MSGP) for Storm Water Discharges from Industrial Activities may be required based on the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) code for the facility and the types of industrial activities occurring. MSGP coverage is required for Treatment Works treating domestic sewage or any other sewage sludge or wastewater treatment device or system, used in the storage, treatment, recycling, and reclamation of municipal or domestic sewage, including lands dedicated to the disposal of sewage sludge that are located within the confines of the facility, with a design flow of 1.0 million gallons per day (MGD) or more, or required to have an approved pretreatment program under 40 CFR Part 403. If the facility is not already covered, it has 30 days from when this permit is issued to submit the appropriate Notice of Intent (NOI) for the MSGP or exclusion documentation. Previously storm water discharge requirements and coverage were combined in this individual permit. These have been separated to provide consistency among permittees, electronic reporting for storm water discharge monitoring reports, and increase flexibility to changing site conditions. Permit coverage under the Construction General Storm Water Permit (CGP) is required for any construction at the facility which disturban acre or more, or is part of a common plan of development or sale thatis an acre or greater. A Notice of Intent (NOI) is required to obtain a construction storm water permit prior to the period of construction. Information onstorm water permit requirements can be found at http://stormwater.utah.gov PRETREATMENT REQUIREMENTS The permittee has not been designated for pretreatment program development because it does not meet conditions which necessitate a full program. The flow through the plant is less than five (5) MGD, there are no categorical industries discharging to the treatment facility, industrial discharges comprise less than 1 percent of the flow through the treatment facility, and there is no indication of pass through or interference with the operation of the treatment facility such as upsets or violations of the POTW's UPDES permit limits. Although the permittee does not have to develop a State-approved pretreatment program, any wastewater discharges to the sanitary sewer are subject to Federal, State and local regulations. Pursuant to Section 307 of the Clean Water Act, the permittee shall comply with all applicable Federal General Pretreatment Regulations promulgated, found in 40 CFR 403 and the State Pretreatment Requirements found in UAC R317-8-8. BIOMONITORING REQUIREMENTS A nationwide effort to control toxic discharges where effluent toxicity is an existing or potential concern is regulated in accordance with the Utah Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Permit and Enforcement Guidance Document for Whole Effluent Toxicity Control (biomonitoring), dated February 2018. Authority to require effluent biomonitoring is provided in Permit Conditions, UAC R317-8-4.2, Permit Provisions, UAC R317-8-5.3 and Water Quality Standards, UAC R317-2-5 and R317 -2-7.2. The permittee is a minor municipal facility that will be discharging an infrequent amount of effluent, in which toxicity is neither an existing concern, nor likely to be present. Based on this consideration, and the absence of receiving stream water quality monitoring data, there is no reasonable potential for toxicity in the permittee’s discharge (per State of Utah Permitting and Enforcement Guidance Document for WET Control). As such, there will be no numerical WET limitations or WET monitoring requirements in this permit. However, the permit will contain a toxicity limitation re-opener provision that allows for modification of the permit should additional information indicate the presence of toxicity in the discharge. PERMIT DURATIONIt is recommended that this permit be effective for a duration of five (5) years.Drafted and Reviewed byLonnie Shull, Discharge Permit Writer, Biomonitoring, Reasonable Potential AnalysisDaniel Griffin, BiosolidsJennifer Robinson, PretreatmentJordan Bryant, Storm WaterChristine Osbourne, TMDL/Watershed Suzan Tahir, Wasteload AnalysisUtah Division of Water Quality, (801) 536-4300PUBLIC NOTICEBegan: Month Day, YearEnded: Month Day, YearComments will be received at: 195 North 1950 West PO Box 144870 Salt Lake City, UT 84114-4870The Public Noticed of the draft permit was published on the DWQ webpage.
