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).

Parameters of concern.
Oil and grease has repeatedly been mentioned in permittee's applications as a substance that
could potentially be discharged as a result of operations. However, there is no record of sampling.
Oil and grease monitoring has been added to this current permit as a result.
Changes to previous permit:
• HUC was added to the outfall description on page 2
• The outfall map has been updated
• Regulatory citations were added as necessary
• Section A. (3) was updated to be current
• "Oil and Grease" sampling was added to this permit as an effluent monitoring
requirement (See effluent table in Part I. Section A. (1)).
The following condition was removed:
• A. (2.) PERMIT REOPENER — ADDITIONAL OUTFALLS
In the event that construction of a pipe that will allow the base stream now
of the unnamed tributary to Long Creek to bypass and not comingle with
Carolina Stalite Company's treatment basins is not completed by the
effective date of this permit, this permit may be reopened to require
additional monitoring of wastewater entering the existing watercourse.
Carolina Stalite Company shall continue to provide the MooresvilleRegional
Office with regular reports regarding the status of the construction project
until the time of its completion.
The permittee installed the pipe in 2013. The pipe allows baseflow to bypass, but occasionally
during storm events excess flow enters treatment ponds.

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,

Miss Emily:
Just quick FYI. The last inspection at this facility there was discussion of collecting downstream
samples. Flow discharges into Ut that flows to Long Creek. The stream bed of the Ut consist of
fractured slate. During summer months, when ground water levels are down, the stream bed is dry
and effluent disappears into ground... and there is no downstream sample.

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