Prepared By: Samar Bou-Ghazale 596
subject: General Permit No. NCG020000
Carolina Quarries, inc.
CGC NCG020048
Rowan County
Carolina Quarries, inc., is located at an inactive mine site
in Rowan Co., and is 'in the business of stone cutting. The
activity fails under an SIC code of 3281.
The existing Permit is' a General Permit to discharge
stormwater' under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination
System that includes mine dewatering and overflow from recycled
process wastewater. The existing permit is apparently valid only
for the mine dewatering and not for the discharge of wastewater
from the recycle facilities, as the subject facility is not a
mining operation.
Carolina Quarries, inc., operates recycle wastewater
facilities that intermittently discharges to the surface waters.
It is requested that Carolina Quarries be issued an individual
permit to include mine dewatering, stormwater, and the discharge of
recycled wastewater.
If you ha.ve any questions regarding this matter, please
advise.
