A. (3.) ELECTRONIC REPORTING OF DISCHARGE MONITORING REPORTS
Proposed federal regulations require electronic submittal of all discharge monitoring reports (DMRs) and
specify that, if a state does not establish a system to receive such submittals, then permittees must submit DMRs
electronically to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The Division anticipates that these regulations
will be adopted and is beginning implementation in late 2013.
NOTE: This special condition supplements or supersedes the following sections within Part II of this permit
(Standard Conditions for NPDES Permits):
• Section B. (11.)
• Section D. (2.)
• Section D. (6.)

Beginning no later than 270 days from the effective date of this permit, the permittee shall begin reporting
discharge monitoring data electronically using the NC DWR's Electronic Discharge Monitoring Report
(eDMR) internet application.
Monitoring results obtained during the previous month(s) shall be summarized for each month and
submitted electronically using eDMR. The eDMR system allows permitted facilities to enter monitoring
data and submit DMRs electronically using the internet. Until such time that the state's eDMR application
is compliant with EPA's Cross -Media Electronic Reporting Regulation (CROMERR), permittees will be
required to submit all discharge monitoring data to the state electronically using eDMR and will be required
to complete the eDMR submission by printing, signing, and submitting one signed original and a copy of the
computer printed eDMR to the following address:
NC DENR / DWR / Information Processing Unit
ATTENTION: Central Files / eDMR •
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617
If a permittee is unable to use the eDMR system due to a demonstrated hardship or due to the facility being
physically located in an area where less than 10 percent of the households have broadband access, then a
temporary waiver from the NPDES electronic reporting requirements may be granted and discharge
monitoring data may be submitted on paper DMR forms (MR 1, 1.1, 2, 3) or alternative forms approved by
the Director. Duplicate signed copies shall be submitted to the mailing address above.
Requests for temporary waivers from the NPDES electronic reporting requirements must be submitted in
writing to the Division for written approval at least sixty (60) days prior to the date the facility would be
required under this permit to begin using eDMR. Temporary waivers shall be valid for twelve (12) months
and shall thereupon expire. At such time, DMRs shall be submitted electronically to the Division unless the
permittee re -applies for and is granted a new temporary waiver by the Division.
Information on eDMR and application for a temporary waiver from the NPDES electronic reporting
requirements is found on the following web page:

FACT SHEET FOR EXPEDITED PERMIT RENEWALS
This form must be completed by Permit Writers for all expedited permits which do not require
full Fact Sheets. Expedited permits are generally simple 100% domestics (e.g., schools, mobile
home parks, etc) that can be administratively renewed with minor changes, but can include
facilities with more complex issues (Special Conditions, 303(d) listed water, toxicity testing,
instream monitoring, compliance concerns).

Two significant changes to this permit.
1. Addition of eDMR condition
2. Prior to issuance of the previous permit renewal, it was determined that the receiving
stream actually ran through the facility's treatment system (a series of settling basins
and connecting channels) before reentering the natural stream channel downstream of
the last basin. The facility was required to either find a way to relocate the stream
flow or be willing to monitor at multiple points where wastewater and stormwater
entered the treatment system. The entire permit cycle was allowed for the company
to evaluate the situation and implement an approvable remedy.
The.company has chosen to install a 12 inch pipe to carry the stream's base flow
around the treatment system, rejoining the natural stream channel downstream of the
last treatment unit. While construction is expected to be complete by the time the
permit is issued, it is not at the present time. Because the site changes are not
complete, existing condition A. (2.) has been replaced with a permit reopener
condition, stating that additional monitoring may be required if stream flow is not
routed around the treatment system. It is doubtful that the condition would ever be
acted upon, and it would be removed if construction is finished before final permit
issuance. It simply seems necessary under the circumstances.

PART IV - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Carolina Stalite (Stalite) was required to address the instream treatment system during the term
of the current permit. Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. was contracted to perform a feasibility study
that included three design alternatives. Stalite choose alternative #3 that included the installation of a
12" High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) pipe into the exisiting piping system that separated the base
stream flow from the wastewater flows and routed the stream flow away from the earthen settling basins
back into the established stream channel (downstream of last earthen basin). Any flows in excess of the
base flow (such as stormwater runoff) would be collected and treated through the existing wastewater
treatment facilities. Stalite has ordered the pipe and currently expects the construction activites to be
completed by the issuance of the next permit. The Company has also complied with the annual
submittal of progress reports as specified in the current permit.
The facility appeared to be properly operated and well maintained during the site visit. No
effluent limit violations were reported during the review of the previous twelve (12) month period
(August 2012 — July 2013).
It is recommended that the permit be renewed as requested.

Dear Mr. Weaver:
Per permit condition A. (2.) "Modification of Existing Treatment Works & Progress
Reports" Carolina Stalite Company (Stalite) has submitted annual progress reports to the
Mooresville Regional Office. Through the progress reports and a few meeting with the
Division of Water Quality (DWQ) Stalite is implementing the design alternative agreed
to by both parties. Stalite is routing the base flow from the offsite drainage through the
collection and treatment system using flexible 12" High Density Polyethylene (HDPE)
pipe. The pipe is being placed within the existing stormwater collection system. Because
the by-pass pipe is designed to carry only base flow of the stream, larger flows due to
storm events would enter Stalite's process water and treatment ponds. No changes are
being made to the facilities treatment process, that would require changes to the NPDES
Permit.
Sincerely,

separate sheet of paper with the system description.
Carolina Stalite Company (Stalite) operates a lightweight aggregate facility in Gold Hill
North Carolina. Stalite uses a series of setting ponds to allow sedimentation to occur.
These ponds receive all of the storm water. The average discharge over the past 12
months was 0.0754 MGD. Stalite's storm water flows through our settling ponds and out
a single discharge. Water is taken from the ponds to provide the necessary water to
operate the facility. Stalite's plant uses approximately 600,000 GPD. This water is
recirculated to the settling ponds for reuse
8. Is facility covered under federal effluent limitation guidelines? No ® Yes 0
If yes, specify the category?
9. Principal product(s) produced: Lightweight Aggregate
Principal raw material(s) consumed: Crushed Slate
Briefly describe the manufacturing process(es):
Carolina Stalite Company (Stalite) produces lightweight aggregate at the facility in Gold Hill, North
Carolina. Stalite receives the raw argillite slate from the quarry adjacent to the plant. The raw material
is conveyed to seven rotary kilns were the material is expanded. The expanded material is cooled and
then crushed and screened to a desired size, and shipped world wide.

Sludge Management Plan
Carolina Stalite does not produce sludge, but sedimentation occurs that is addressed as
needed. Three concrete catch basins atre cleaned daily and this material is blended back
into our product to recycle it. As the settling ponds require they are dipped out and all of
the material that is removed from the ponds is allowed to dry and then blended with
material for reuse.
