inspections. If any visible off-site sedimentation is leaving the property, action will be taken to reduce the discharge of sediments. The entire Erosion Control Plan for the new asphalt plant has been designed so that no soil or petroleum products will either enter the soil or be carried offsite in stormwater runoff. The plan provides for silt fencing and a settling pond during the construction phase. The completed site will have a total of three ponds to contain runoff water. Any earthen berms and land disturbance areas will be vegetated in accordance with the Soil Erosion Control Plan for the project as detailed under the Seedbed Preparation and Seeding Schedule. In consideration of the plant's sensitive location, the usual industry practice of spraying haul-truck beds with a petroleum-based solvent to prevent adhesion will not be followed, but a biodegradable product will be used instead. 3.5.4 Air Quality Consultation with NCDEHNR Air Quality Section provided information on air quality non- attainment areas within North Carolina. Nonattainment refers to the inability of a given area to control or maintain concentrations of pollutants in ambient air that are below the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). When air monitoring systems measure concentrations of pollutants exceeding the NAAQS, EPA can classify the area as "nonattainment" and require governing bodies to implement measures to improve the air quality. The project area's location rests well outside of any designated nonattainment area. Table 3 provides a list of nonattainment areas within the State. 3-19
