Dear Mr. Roberts:
Subject: Treatment Works Pond
Permit No. WQ0003150
Solite Corporation
Stanly County
During a recent site visit conducted by the Division of Water's NPDES Unit and the Mooresville
Regional Office, it was noted that Carolina Solite currently operates a recycle pond, under water quality
permit WQ0003150. According to this permit, the recycle pond is used for rock washing and dust control
operation as well as accepting drainage from the surrounding area. Based on 15A NCAC 02B .0228
(attached), the Division has determined that the pond is located in -stream and has determined that the
ponds are `waters of the state'. Thus, the `WQ' permit is not appropriate and a NPDES discharge permit
will be required.
The Division of Water Quality requests a meeting with Carolina Solite to discuss this
determination. This meeting is being requested so that the Division of Water Quality and Carolina Solite
can discuss the options available and correct this oversight in a manner that is amenable to both parties.
Please contact Michael Myers at [phone], extension 508 to schedule a meeting at your earliest
convenience.
Sincerely,
/frt. David A. Goodrich
NPDES Unit Supervisor
