Reed Gold Mine Facility
Cabarrus County
Attached you will find the report for the compliance inspection that was conducted on December
15th, 2017 for the referenced facility's treatment and disposal system. I would like to thank Lee
Garner for his time during the inspection:
The treatment system appeared to be operating properly at the time of inspection; however,
please note the following requirements to maintain overall compliance with permit conditions:
• Our data base still shows I'Nbrman Long as ORC and Lee Garner as BU-ORC. Please
fill out and submit the updated form (and copy this office). The form is located at the
following web -link:
https://files.nc.gov/ncdeg/Water%20Quality/Operator Certification FileS/WW Files/ORC D
esignation Form Fillable.pdf.
• Install the required water level gauge (needs to have increments in inches or tenths of a
foot). Mr. Garner discussed plans to build a dock to access the gauge, but needs to
determine personal safety and risk to lagoon liner. The simplest and safest solution
possible to meet the permit condition is all that is required. In addition, it is
recommended the lagoon residuals level be assessed with a sludge Mudge, at the time
of the water level installation, and scheduled for removal as needed.
• The lagoon water level is currently lowered for filter access and cleaning, which may reduce
clogging of irrigation equipment. Routine maintenance of application fields for under brush
and removal of downed trees is ongoing.
• Lagoon berm and bank need maintenance for plant removal. Per discussion, the ORC
plans to use as little herbicide treatment as possible, as it seems the safest approach.
The report should be self-explanatory; however, should you have, any questions, feel free to call
me at 704-235-2184 or by email at maria. schutte(a)-ncdenr.gov.

Reason for Inspection
X ROUTINE COMPLAINT FOLLOW-UP Facility Start-up
Inspection Date(s): December 15, 2017
Inspection Summary: (additional comments may be included on attached pages)
The wastewater treatment system appears to be operating satisfactorily. Records are in good order. The
light bulb for the high-water alarm was replaced while on -site. Both visual and audible high-water alarms
were working, at the time of inspection. Remaining issues of concern are noted below and detailed in the
cover -letter:
• The water level gauge needs to be legible to inch or tenths of a foot increments. Assess lagoon
residuals at time of gauge installation and schedule for removal as needed.
• Spray heads are recommended to be removed from service as needed to address periodic ponding
issues. Routine maintenance of spray heads for clogs/leaks and the irrigation fields for downed
tree/underbrush is ongoing.
• Lagoon berm and bank need routine maintenance for plant removal.
• Update the ORC designation form as noted in the cover -letter, with current contact
information for Norman Long as backup. All information should also be copied to:
beth.buffingtonAncdenr.gov, for the Operator Certification Program.
• The MRO should be informed of any changes to the contact information noted above.

Cabarrus County
Dear Mr. Neal:
Director
Attached you will find the report for the compliance inspection that was conducted on
October 5th, 2016 in conjunction with the permit renewal for the referenced facility's
treatment and disposal system. Edward Watson and Maria Schutte of the Mooresville
Regional Office (MRO) were joined by Tessa Monday and Ashley Kabat from the
Central Office (CO) Non -Discharge Permitting Unit. I would like to thank you and your
staff for your time during the inspection.
The treatment system appeared to be operating properly at the time of inspection;
however, please note the following requirements to maintain overall compliance with
permit conditions:
• Replace light bulb/Repair fixture for the high water visual alarm. The WWTP high
water audible alarm was functioning, but the visual alarm was inoperable.
• The water level gauge needs to have increments in inches or tenths of a foot.
• Wastewater irrigation system and field concerns:
Spray heads at the application fields need routine maintenance for clogs. During
this visit it was primarily the spray heads at field 2 for clogs and leaks. Duck weed
from the lagoon is the suspected culprit. Norman Long discussed upgrading the
spray heads and/or adding a cut-off valve at each spray head for ease of
maintenance, as the budget allows.
Noted areas with ponding or soils concerns have routinely been addressed with
additional fill/sand as needed. The MRO continues to recommend periodically
removing spray heads from service where ponding is an issue. The permittee

Subject: Surface Irrigation Permit Inspection Report
Permit #WQ0006946
Reed Gold Mine Facility
Cabarrus County
Dear Mr. Long:
Director
Enclosed you will find the report for the compliance inspection that was conducted on
December 9th, 2015 for the referenced facility's treatment and disposal system. I would
like to thank you for your time during the inspection.
Please note the following requirements to maintain compliance with permit conditions:
• The back -flow prevention valve noted in NOV-2014-PC-0109 is in -place; however, as
we discussed the final drawinas need to be submitted as noted in the hermit
condition 1.1 which states: "...Upon completion, the Permittee shall submit as -built
drawings from a professional engineer indicating the location and materials used in
the installation of the back -flow prevention device."
• Spray heads at both fields needed maintenance for clogs and a couple of heads
temporarily removed from service due to soils and/or wet field conditions. Per our
discussion, duck weed from the lagoon is the suspected culprit creating clogs at the
spray heads and routine maintenance is conducted as needed between application
events. You also noted areas that require additional fill/sand to reduce ponding and
expressed concerns with soils in some locations which should be reviewed during the
next permit renewal, but in the_ interim I recommended removing these' spray heads
from service.
The current permit expiration date is January 31, 2017. A renewal application is
due within 6 months of expiration, which will be in July 2016. The most current
Non -Discharge System Renewal (NDSR) application may be found at:
http://portal.ncdenr.org/web/wqlaps/lau/applications. In addition, this permit
should reflect the correct management contact within the NCDNCR as the owner.

Norman Long is the ORC of the system, but should not be on the permit as the
owner/Raleigh contact. An Ownership/Name Change form may also be found at the
above web -link and may be submitted now or at the time of renewal.
The. report should be self-explanatory; however, should you have any questions, feel

Dear Mr. Long:
On March 28, 2014, Maria Schutte of Division of Water Resources (DWR) of the
Mooresville Regional Office (MRO) while conducting a routine compliance inspection
discussed a requirement noted in your permit, during previous inspections and in a Notice
of Deficiency dated March 7, 2012, which per conversation with you still has not been
corrected.
The specific issue is a back -flow prevention valve that must be installed between the septic
tank discharge and the polishing lagoon. While the treatment and disposal systems
appear to be operating satisfactorily, this issue must be addressed as it is a violation of the
permit, specifically:
Section 1.1 which states: "Within sixty (60) days of permit issuance, the Permittee shall
install a back -flow prevention device on the outlet pipe from the septic tank. Upon
completion, the Permittee shall submit as -built drawings from a professional engineer

device."
The MRO received email and phone communication from Mr. Paul Bock, Facility & Craft
Services, NCDCR, Division of State Historic Sites; and, a proposed solution from Norman
Long, which the MRO accepted; however, no specific time -line for implementing corrective
actions has been submitted, as required by the Notice of Deficiency.
Please take the corrective action(s) for the above violation(s) as necessary to bring the
said facility into compliance. A plan and time -line for implementing corrective actions must
be submitted in writing to the Mooresville Regional Office by June 7, 2014.

RE: Surface Irrigation Inspection Report
Permit No. WQ0006946
Cabarrus.County, N.C.
Enclosed you will find the report for the annual compliance inspection that I conducted on February 18,
2010. The treatment and disposal system is operating satisfactorily but there are two issues that need to
be specifically mentioned:
1. A method must be developed for accurate estimation of flow throught the treatment system.
Please submit the details of this method to this office within 30 days.
2. A back -flow prevention valve must be installed on the septic tank discharge line prior to the next
tank cleanout.
Please note that, as a result of passage of State Law 2009-406, the expiration date for your permit has
been extended to January 31, 2016.
Should you have any questions about the inspection report or the recommendations, please call me at
704/235-2183 or contact me via email at [e-mail].

Reason for Inspection
X ROUTINE COMPLAINT FOLLOW-UP Facility Start-up
Inspection Summary: (additional comments may be included on attached pages)
The wastewater treatment and disposal system appears to be operating satisfactorily.
Records are in good order. Since there is no influent flow meter for this 4,000 gpd system
and there are limitations to using the available well water -use data, a reasonable method
needs to be developed for estimating flow.
It was noted that a back -flow valve has not yet been installed on the septic tank discharge
line. Periodic monitoring by the ORC of the sludge level in the tank shows that the amount is
still minimal. However, the valve must be installed before the next time the tank is pumped.
Is a follow-up inspection necessary yes - X no

RE: Surface Irrigation Inspection Report
Permit No. WQ0006946
Cabarrus County, N.C.
Dear Mr. Long:
Enclosed you will find the report for the annual compliance inspection that I conducted on December 4,
2007. The report should be self-explanatory, however there are a few items which I would like to
emphasize:
The design feature, which allows lagoon water to re-enter the septic tank during cleaning,
needs to be re-evaluated by an engineer and recommendations for a modification need to
be submitted to the Division;
Two of the pumps in the pump house are showing signs of wear and should be replaced,
preferably with more. efficient models;
The spray heads must be calibrated annually to ensure proper distribution of the effluent.
Should you have any questions, please feel free to call me at 7041235-2183.
Sincerely,
Peggy Finley

Inspection Summary. (additional comments may be included on attached pages)
The system appears to be providing proper treatment. However the design feature, which
allows lagoon water to re-enter the septic tank when the tank is pumped, needs to be re-
evaluated. The disposal fields are in satisfactory condition. Spray heads have not been
calibrated. The necessary records were present and in order. Compliance monitoring
(NDMRs, NDARs and GW-59) have been submitted in a timely fashion.

Telephone notification by Norman Long: The timer on the spray system failed last
Thursday and as a result approximately 85,000 gallons was applied between Thursday
and Saturday. No runoff was observed at the time that Norman discovered the
problem.

Peggy,
Got a call today from Norman Long with Reed Gold Mine. Due to a pine beetle
infestation and the drought, they're going to lose a big chunk of their cover crop
for their ND system. It sounded like most of field 1 was going and the beetles were
headed toward -field 2. He's looking for advice on what kinds of replacement plants
to use. I gave him Matt Fleahman's name/number to discuss further and suggested he
possibly consult with an agronomist. I also said that I'd pass this along to you, so
that you can follow up with them to see where they stand and if a permit modification
might be needed. I didn't get his number, but it should be easily found. Thanks,
Andrew

Dear Ms. Vance,
As of this date, our records indicate that the above -referenced permit, which was issued on April
8, 2003 and expires on March 31, 2008, has not been renewed. It is both a condition of your permit and
required by 15A NCAC 2T .0109 to request a renewal of your permit at least 180 calendar days prior to
its expiration date.
Failure to apply for permit renewal, and operation of your facility without an active permit may
result in the assessment of civil penalties in accordance with North Carolina General Statute § 143-
215.6A. Therefore, it is imperative that you submit a permit renewal application package for review as
soon as possible.
Please submit the enclosed Wastewater Renewal without Modification Application (Form WWR
09-06) in triplicate to the following address:
Aquifer Protection Section
Land Application Unit
1636 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, NC 27699-1636
Please note that if the facility has never been constructed or if the facility has been connected to
sewer service, the Permittee has the option of rescinding the permit. Thank you in advance for your
cooperation and timely response. If you have any questions, please contact Nathaniel Thornburg at (919)
715-6160 or at [e-mail].

Peggy, sorry to miss your call but I was out in the field in the Washington Region.
It was a beautiful day to wander around a 140 acre spray site and turn a soil auger.
Anyways, I've gone through our files and there are not any project drawings for Reed
Gold Mine. You are correct though, pumping out a septic tank should not lower a
effluent pond. Septic tanks usually flow out under gravity and then into an effluent
pond. The pipe to the pond should be above the operating pond level (unless they
have effluent pumps) and thus shouldn't be able to draw water from below the outlet
pipe. If water is being drawn then the septic tank has cracks and is taking in
inflow from the surrounding surficial aquifer. They need to conduct a,leakage test
and then fix whatever problem they have.

Thank you for your prompt response to the Notice' of Violation issued May 25, 2005 however, the
reports that were received by this office did not include those that were requested. We did not receive
the NDMR-1s for January and February 2005.
Perhaps a clarification is in order. An NDMR-1 and an NDAR-1 must be submitted each month
regardless of whether effluent sampling or spray application took place that month. Please submit
NDMR-1s for January and February 2005 to the address below.

Spray Irrigation Inspection
Permit No. WQ0006946
Cabamis County
Dear Mr. Boyette:
Enclosed is the spray irrigation inspection report for the inspection conducted on June 18,
2002 by Ms. Ellen Huffman with this Office.
All wastewater treatment units appeared to be operational; however, the monitoring reports
reflect that there was no spray activity for all of May and all of June. After speaking with the on site
spray system operator, it was clear that the system could not be used because there was no chlorine
for the effluent distribution system. This situation could have resulted in a violation of this permit.
Best management and operating practices suggest having a back up chlorine cylinder on site at all
times.
The inspection report should be self-explanatory, however, if you have any questions, please
contact Mrs. Huffman or me at [phone].

Norman Long, ORC (certificate # 25721) passed the spray irrigation certification test in
December 2000, and Jennifer Fun, BU-ORC, in April 2001. This information was given to the
Training and Certification Unit (TACU) but was not entered into the ORC database. Norman
Long has re -sent the information to TACU office. Monitoring and application records reflect
compliance. The lagoon does have a thin layer of algae/weed on the surface. No irrigation took
place for all of April and May because there wasno chlorine available for disinfecting effluent
prior to irrigation. It is recommended that a spare chlorine tank be kept on site.

Dear Mr. Long:
Enclosed is the Spray Irrigation system inspection report for the inspection conducted on
February 27, 2001 by Ms. Ellen Huffman with this Office. The inspection is part of our initiative to
inspect all spray systems during each calendar year. The report indicates compliance with laboratory data
and record keeping; however, you currently do not have a designated ORC in accordance with 15A
NCAC 08G .0202 which states that the permittee has 120 days to fill a vacancy in the position of ORC.
Upon the vacancy pf the ORC position, the owner must notify the appropriate regional office of DWQ of
the vacancy. It was noted that you intend to acquire certification. You need to contact Technical
Assistance and Certification Unit (919/733-0026) to acquire temporary certification (See attached
guidance).
The report also mentions that you are installing new spray heads and have replaced piping in part
of the field as a part of regular maintenance and repair of the system. Ms. Huffman noted that recent rains
have identified low areas where soil has settled and water collects as a result of the installation of the new
irrigation piping which you plan to fill in. These areas should be filled in as soon as feasible.
The inspection report should be self-explanatory; however, if you have any questions, please
contact Mrs. Huffman or me at [phone].
Sincerely,
D. Rex Gleason, P.E.

Inspection Summary: (additional comments mar be included on attached pages)
All monitoring records (NDAR's and NDMR's) for 2000 were available for review and
indicated compliance. The MRO file was missing reports for March 2000 and November 2000.
They may have been misplaced in Raleigh. The permittee will copy and mail the MRO these
reports. The facility no longer has a properly certified ORC. 15A 08G .0202 states that the
permittee has 120 days to fill a vacancy in the position of ORC. Upon the vacancy of. the ORC
position, the owner must notify the appropriate regional office of DWQ of the vacancy. The
permittee needs to contact Technical Assistance and Certification at 919/733-0026, to acquire
temporary certification. Norman Long currently holds a cert. for WW1. He will be attending the
next spray school and intends to acquire a spray certificate to become the ORC of this facility.
The lagoon has been upgraded with a clay bottom liner with cement sidewalls. Piping was
recently replaced for lower part of the field. New spray heads have been ordered and will be
installed when they arrive. Settled areas above the new lines to be filled in.

Classification of Water Pollution Control Systems
Reed Gold Mine
WQ0006946
Cabarrus
The Water Pollution Control System Operators Certification Commission adopted Rule 15A NCAC 8C
.0800, Classification of Spray Irrigation Systems, effective July 1, 1993. In order to ensure the proper
operation and maintenance of these systems, this Rule requires that all facilities permitted for the spray
irrigation of wastewater be classified as spray irrigation systems.
If the subject spray irrigation system consists only of preliminary treatment, lagoons, septic tanks, pump
tanks, pumps, grease traps or grease interceptors, oil/water separators, sand filters, disinfection, and chemical
treatment for nutrient or algae control and the spray irrigation of wastewater, no additional wastewater
treatment classification is required. Wastewater treatment in excess of these components may be subject to
rating under Rule 15A NCAC 8C .0002(b).
The Water Pollution Control System Operators Certification Commission hereby classifies the subject
facility as a Spray Irrigation System effective May 31, 1998.
As required by Rule 15A NCAC .0202(b) and the subject permit, a certified operator and back-up operator of
the appropriate type must be designated for each classified system. Your system requires an Operator in
Responsible Charge (ORC) and back-up operator who hold valid spray irrigation certificates. If you have
not already done so, please complete and return the enclosed designation form to this office by
July 15, 1998. Failure to designate an appropriate operator in responsible charge and back-up operator is a
violation of the permit issued for this system.
A Spray Irrigation System Operators Training School is being offered May 19-21, 1998, at the McKimmon
Center in Raleigh. The first certification examination offered after the training school will be
June 18, 1998. Enclosed is a brochure for the training school and an application for the certification
examination.
Thank you for your cooperation. -If you need assistance or have any questions concerning this requirement
please call Beth Buffington at 919/733-0026, ext. 313.

SPRAY IRRIGATION SYSTEM PERMIT
In accordance with the provisions of Article 21 of Chapter 143, General Statutes of North Carolina as amended, and
other applicable Laws, Rules, and Regulations
PERMISSION IS HEREBY GRANTED TO
N.C. Department of Cultural Resources
Cabarrus County
FOR THE
continued operation of a 4,000 GPD spray irrigation treatment and disposal facility consisting of a 4,650 gallon
septic tank, a polishing pond with 30 days retention time, post chlorination, an effluent pump station, a flow
measuring device, two 1.06 acre spray fields and all appurtenant piping to serve North Carolina Department of
Cultural Resources" Reed Gold Mine with no discharge of wastes to the surface waters, pursuant to the application
received December 8, 1997, and in conformity with the project plan, specifications, and other supporting data
subsequently filed and approved by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources and considered a part of
this permit.
This permit shall be effective from the date of issuance until March 31, 2003, shall void Permit No.
WQ0006946 issued July 21, 1993, and shall be subject to the following specified conditions and limitations:
I. PERFORMANCE STANDARDS
The spray irrigation facilities shall be effectively maintained and operated at all times so that there is no
discharge to the surface waters, nor any contamination of ground waters which will render them
unsatisfactory for normal use. In the event that the facilities fail to perform satisfactorily, including the
creation of nuisance conditions or failure of the irrigation area to adequately assimilate the wastewater,
the Permittee shall take immediate corrective actions including those actions that may be required by
the Division of Water Quality (Division), such as the construction of additional or replacement
wastewater treatment and disposal facilities.
2. The issuance of this permit shall not relieve the Permittee of the responsibility for damages to surface
or groundwaters resulting from the operation of this facility.
The residuals generated from these treatment facilities must be disposed in accordance with General
Statute 143-215.1 and in a manner approved by the Division.
4. Diversion or bypassing of the untreated wastewater from the treatment facilities is prohibited.

The following buffers shall be maintained:
a) 400 feet between wetted area and any residence or places of public assembly under separate
ownership,
b) 150 feet between wetted area and property lines,
c) 100 feet between wetted area and wells,
d) 100 feet between wetted area and drainageways or surface water bodies,
e) 50 feet between wetted area and public right of ways,
f) 100 feet between wastewater treatment units and wells, and
g) 50 feet between wastewater treatment units and property lines.
Some of the buffers specified above may not have been included in previous permits for this
waste treatment and disposal system. These buffers are not intended to prohibit or prevent
modifications, which are required by the Division, to improve performance of the existing
treatment facility. These buffers do, however, apply to modifications of the treatment and
disposal facilities which are for the purpose of increasing the flow that is tributary to the
facility. These buffers do apply to any expansion or modification of the spray irrigation areas
and apply in instances. in which the sale of property would cause any of the buffers now
complied with, for the treatment and disposal facilities, to be violated. The applicant is
advised that any modifications to the existing facilities will require a permit modification.
II. OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS
The facilities shall be properly maintained and operated at all times.
2. Upon classification of the facility by the Water Pollution Control System Operators Certification
Commission (WPCSOCC), the Permittee shall employ a certified wastewater treatment plant operator
to be in responsible charge (ORC) of the wastewater treatment facilities. The operator must hold a
certificate of the type and grade at least equivalent to or greater than the classification assigned to the
wastewater treatment facilities by the WPCSOCC. The Permittee must also employ a certified back-up
operator of the appropriate type and grade to comply with the conditions of 15A NCAC 8A .0202. The
ORC of the facility must visit each Class I facility at least weekly and each Class II, III, and IV facility
at least daily, excluding weekends and holidays, and must properly manage and document daily
operation and maintenance of the facility and must comply with all other conditions of 15A NCAC 8A
.0202
A suitable vegetative cover shall be maintained.
4. Irrigation shall not be performed during inclement weather or when the ground is in a condition that
will cause runoff.
Adequate measures shall be taken to prevent wastewater runoff from the spray field.
The facilities shall be effectively maintained and operated as a non -discharge system to prevent the
discharge of any wastewater resulting from the operation of this facility.
The application rate shall not exceed a cumulative loading of 18.2 inches over anytwelve (12) month
period.
No type of wastewater other than that from the North Carolina Department of Cultural Resources'
Reed Gold Mine shall be sprayed onto the irrigation area.
9. No traffic or equipment shall be allowed on the disposal area except while installation occurs or while
normal maintenance is being performed.
10. Public access to the land application sites shall be controlled during active site use. Such controls may
include the posting of signs showing the activities being conducted at each site.

1 1. Dikes shall be maintained to prevent surface runoff from the spray fields.
III. MONITORING AND REPORTING REQUIREMENTS
Any monitoring (including groundwater, surface water, soil or plant tissue analyses) deemed necessary
by the Division to insure surface and ground water protection will be established and an acceptable
sampling reporting schedule shall be followed.
2. Adequate records shall be maintained by the Permittee tracking the amount of wastewater disposed.
These records shall include, but are not necessarily limited to, the following information:
a. date of irrigation,

NC Division of Water Quality
Water Quality Section
Non -Discharge Compliance/Enforcement Unit
Post Office Box 29535
Raleigh, North Carolina 27626-0535
6. Noncompliance Notification:
The Permittee shall report by telephone to the Mooresville Regional Office, telephone number
[phone], as soon as possible, but in no case more than 24 hours or on the next working day
following the occurrence or first knowledge of the occurrence of any of the following:
a. Any occurrence at the wastewater treatment facility which results in the treatment of significant
amounts of wastes which are abnormal in quantity or characteristic, such as the dumping of the
contents of a sludge digester; the known passage of a slug of hazardous substance through the
facility; or any other unusual circumstances.
b. Any process unit failure, due to known or unknown reasons, that render the facility incapable of
adequate wastewater treatment such as mechanical or electrical failures of pumps, aerators,
compressors, etc.
c. Any failure of a pumping station, sewer line, or treatment facility resulting in a by-pass directly to
receiving waters without treatment of all or any portion of the influent to such station or facility.
d. Any time that self -monitoring information indicates that the facility has gone out of compliance
with its permit limitations.

Persons reporting such occurrences by telephone shall also file a written report in letter form within
five (5) days following first knowledge of the occurrence. This report must outline the actions taken or
proposed to be taken to ensure that the problem does not recur.
IV. GROUNDWATER REQUIREMENTS
Monitor wells MW-1, MW-2, and MW-3 shall be sampled every March and November for the
following parameters:
Water Level pH
Chloride Total Dissolved Solids (TDS)
Fecal Coliforms Total Organic Carbon (TOC)
Nitrate (NO3) Total Ammonia
The measurement of water levels must be made prior to sampling for the remaining parameters. The
depth to water in each well shall be measured from the surveyed point on the top of the casing.
The measuring points (top of well casing) of all monitoring wells shall be surveyed to provide the
relative elevation of the measuring point for each monitoring well.
If TOC concentrations greater than 10 mg/1 are detected in any downgradient monitoring well,
additional sampling and analysis must be conducted to identify the individual constituents comprising
this TOC concentration. If the TOC concentration as measured in the background monitor well
exceeds 10 mg/l, this concentration will be taken to represent the naturally occurring TOC
concentration. Any exceedances of this naturally occurring TOC concentration in the downgradient
wells shall be subject to the additional sampling and analysis as described above.
The results of the sampling and analysis must be received on Form GW-59 (Groundwater Quality
Monitoring: Compliance Report Form) by the Groundwater Section, Permits and Compliance Unit,
P.O. Box 29578 Raleigh, N.C. 27626-0578 on or before the last working day of the month following
the sampling month.
2. Any additional groundwater quality monitoring, as deemed necessary by the Division, shall be
provided.
3. The COMPLIANCE BOUNDARY for the disposal system is specified by regulations in 15A NCAC
2L, Groundwater Classifications and Standards. The Compliance Boundary for the disposal system
constructed prior to December 31, 1983 is established at either (1) 500 feet from the waste disposal
area, or (2) at the property boundary, whichever is closest to the waste disposal area. An exceedance of
Groundwater Quality Standards at or beyond the Compliance Boundary is subject to immediate
remediation action in addition to the penalty provisions applicable under General Statute 143-
215.6A(a)(1).
In accordance with 15A NCAC 2L, a REVIEW BOUNDARY is established around the

any maintenance, repairs, or corrective actions taken by the Permittee. This log of inspections shall be
maintained by the Permittee for a period of three years from the date of the inspection and shall be
made available upon request to the Division or other permitting authority.

conditions of this permit, the approved plans and specifications, and other supporting data.
2. This permit is effective only with respect to the nature and volume of wastes described in the
application and other supporting data.
This permit is not transferable. In the event there is a desire for the facilities to change ownership, or
there is a name change of the Permittee, a formal permit request must be submitted to the Division
accompanied by an application fee, documentation from the parties involved, and other supporting
materials as may be appropriate. The approval of this request will be considered on its merits and may
or may not be approved.
4. Failure to abide by the conditions and limitations contained in this permit may subject the Permittee to
an enforcement action by the Division in accordance with North Carolina. General Statute 143-215.6A

federal) which have jurisdiction.
A set of approved plans and specifications for the subject project must be retained by the Permittee for
the life of the project.
The annual administering and compliance fee must be paid by the Permittee within thirty (30) days
after being billed by the Division. Failure to pay, the fee accordingly may cause the Division to initiate
action to revoke this permit as specified by 15A NCAC 2H .0205 (c)(4).
8. The Permittee, at least six (6) months prior to the expiration of this permit, shall request its
extension. Upon receipt of the request, the Commission will review the adequacy of the

To Whom It May Concern:
We were unable to test eiFfluent due to work on the pond. There was a 30 day delay in
work. The job was to be completed in October.
If testing needs to be done when pond refills, please us know.

at the Reed Oold Mne in CabamLs County. Bill, upon hearing a roll up otdw situation, referred i
to 'Ted Lyon, also in his office, whose position is to deal specifically witb aptage within the State:
On the basis of the waste description, Ted referred me to Itick Doby in the Mooresville office because
of his proximity to the lagoon and his knowledge of this specific loc4ijon. After Ustetung to `a
description and explanation o£the material, Rick said he would ,not have a pablem with its going in'
the CMS landfill.
I also spoke with Rex Gleason v i*h the DEM's Water Quality who said he sw no problem with thus
waste going to BPI's CMS landfill. He was ihmlliar with Reed Gold taws historic site's lagoon
permit.
Per this information and approval from the state and Urs corporate appllwral, BFY will landfill thin.

NCD OF CUL RES-REED GOLD MINE
CABARRUSCOUNTY
Our files indicate that the subject --permit issued on 7/21/93 expires on 6/30/98. We have not
received a request for renewal from you as of this date.
A renewal request shall consist of a letter asking for permit renewal, the appropriate permit
application processing fee, and four (4) copies of a completed application. For permitted facilities with
treatment works, a narrative description of the residuals management plan, which is in effect at the
permitted facility, must also be submitted with the renewal application. Applications may be returned to
the applicant if not accompanied by the processing fee or are incomplete.
Please find attached a copy of the processing fee schedule, as found in 15 NCAC 2H .0205(c).
The processing fee for your facility is based on the type of facility and/or the permitted flow. Processing
fees for land application of residuals are based on the total acres of land permitted. The processing fee
does not apply to any farmer who submits an application which pertains to his/her farming operation.
The check or money order should be made payable to the North Carolina Department of Environment,
Health, and Natural Resources (DEHNR).
The Environmental Management Commission adopted rules on October 1, 1990, requiring the
payment of an annual fee for most permitted facilities. You will be billed separately for that fee (if
applicable) after your permit is approved.

Dear Per7iittee:
Our files indicate that the subject permit issued on 7/21/93 expires on 6/30/98. We have not
received a request for renewal from you as of this date.
A renewal request shall consist of a letter asking for permit renewal, the appropriate permit
application processing fee, and four (4) copies of a completed application. For permitted facilities with
treatment works, a narrative description of the residuals management plan, which is in effect at the
permitted facility, must also be submitted with the renewal application. Applications may be returned to
the applicant if not accompanied by the processing fee or are incomplete.
Please find attached a copy of the processing fee schedule, as found in 15 NCAC 2H .0205(c).
The processing fee for your facility is based on the type of facility and/or the permitted flow. Processing
fees for land application of residuals are based on the total acres of land permitted. The processing fee
does not apply to any farmer who submits an application which pertains to his/her farming operation.
The check or money order should be made payable to the North Carolina Department of Environment,
Health, and Natural Resources (DEHNR).
The Environmental Management Commission adopted rules on October 1, 1990, requiring the
payment of an annual fee for most permitted facilities. You will be billed separately for that fee (if
applicable) after your permit is approved.

(6) If the total payment for fees required for all permits under G.S. 143-215.3(a)(Ib) for any single facility will
exceed seventy-five hundred dollars ($7,500.00) per year, then the total for all these fees will be reduced

gallons per day (100,000 GPD) or less shall be reduced by the amounts being transferred under
Subparagraph (7) of this Paragraph. This reduction shall continue until, at the end of some subsequent
quarter, the State Treasurer certifies that the fund's balance is less than seven hundred fifty thousand dollars
($750,000.00), in which case the full amount of the application processing fees as listed in Subparagraph
(5) of this Paragraph shall be charged.
(9) In order to avoid violation of the limit that total permit fees collected in any year not exceed 30 percent of
the total budgets from all sources of environmental permitting and compliance programs, the Division shall
in the first half of each state fiscal year project revenues from all sources including fees for the next fiscal
year. If this projection shows that the limit will be exceeded, rulemaking shall be commenced in order to
have an appropriately adjusted fee schedule which will avoid excessive revenue collection from permit fees.

Dear Ms. Peggy Finley,
I would like to inform you that we missed the July sampling and testing of our
groundwater wells. We have been unable to contact the lab that does our sampling and
testing. The lab, the D-B Alliance Group, Inc., is answering their phone saying the
number is not in service. We checked with the operator to see if the number had been
changed and it had not. The phone number for the D-B Alliance Group, Inc. is
[phone], but the message says 529-4745 is not in service.
I have talked to Mike Parker and he notified the person who inspects labs to check on the
D-B Alliance Group, Inc. and their affiliate, Blue Ridge Laboratories, Inc.
We are getting. a new lab to do the November testing as soon as we get bids approved
through our home office in Raleigh.
If more testing is needed or other information is needed, you can contact me at

R. Paul Wilms
Director
On August 3, 1988, you requested that condition 17 of the subject permit be
extended to allow for additional time so that the Historic Sites Section could comply
with the requirement to install monitoring wells . This request was received five
months after the issuance of the permit. An additional four months have passed since
the request was received. Our groundwater staff has indicated that through
discussions with you that you felt that there was site -accessibility problems in
locating the monitoring wells. Our Mooresville Regional Office is available to work
with you on the siting of the wells.
Given the amount of time that has elasped it is felt that sufficient time has
been available to evaluate the alternatives to comply with the permit condition,
therefore no additional time will be granted. The required monitoring wells are to be
installed within 60 days of receipt of this letter.
If this decision is unacceptable to you, you have the right to an adjudicatory
hearing upon written request within thirty (30) days following receipt of this
letter. This request must be in the form of a written petition, conforming to Chapter
150B of the North Carolina General Statues, and filed with the Office of
Administrative Hearings, Post Office Drawer 11666, Raleigh, North Carolina 27604.
Unless such demand is made, this decision shall be final and binding.

Cabarru.s County, North Carolina
Eric Klingel, Hydrogeological Regional Supervisor in this
Office, has reviewed a request from Mr. Ricky Howell, Department
of Cultural Resources, to extend the permitted date for
construction of groundwater monitoring wells. Mr. Howell's
request was made by letter dated August 3, 1988.
The subject Permit was issued March 2, 1988, and required
construction of the -wells within 90 days of the issuance date.
Approximately eight months have passed since issuance of the
Permit. Furthermore, approximately three months have passed
since the date of Mr. Howell's letter. It appears that the
Permittee has had more than ample time to evaluate cost, etc.
and have the wells constructed; therefore, no further extension
should be,/granted. Mr. Howell should also be informed that
continued noncompliance will result in an enforcement
recommendation.
I you have questions,
