Secretary LINDA CULPEPPER Interim Director NORTH CAROLINA Environmental Quality October 17,2018 Glenn Young, Operations Manager The Quartz Corp USA PO Box 309 Spruce Pine,NC 28777 Subject: Draft NPDES Permit Renewals Permits:NC0000353,NC0000400 K-T Feldspar Corporation and The Feldspar Corporation facilities Mitchell County Grade PC2 Facilities SIC code 1459 Dear Mr.Young: Enclosed with this letter are copies of the draft NPDES permit renewals for your facilities. Please review the drafts carefully to ensure thorough understanding of the requirements and conditions they contain. There are several changes from existing permits, including the following: • The NC 2007-2014 Water Quality Standards (WQS)Triennial Review was approved by the NC Environmental Management Committee(EMC) on November 13, 2014. The US EPA subsequently approved the WQS revisions on April 6, 2016 with some exceptions. The NC Division of Water Resources NPDES Permitting Unit is required to implement the new dissolved metal standards in all permits public noticed after April 6, 2016.The new standards for most metals include acute standards.Further,the freshwater standards for several metals are expressed as the dissolved form of the metals, and seven metals have hardness-dependent equations. As a result,the NPDES Permitting Unit will need site-specific effluent hardness data and instream hardness data,upstream of the discharge, for each facility monitoring these metals in order to calculate permit limitations. Effluent hardness and instream hardness sampling,upstream of the discharge, has been added to each permit at a monitoring frequency of quarterly. See Special Condition A. (1.)Effluent Limitations and Monitoring Requirements for effluent and instream sampling requirements. • Sampling by the EPA in 2015 and stormwater monitoring data from several quartz/feldspar mines in the region, in conjunction with the new dissolved metals standards noted above, indicates aluminum, copper, lead, nickel, and zinc are pollutants of concern and quarterly monitoring has been added to the permits. • The NPDES Standard Conditions (Parts II, III, and IV) are not included with this draft. They can be found at the following link if you would like to review them in conjunction with this draft permit. https://bit.ly/2BZ4xxx D_EQ poartmem a rnrvarunenw Rwry • North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality I Division of Water Resources 512 North Salisbury Street 11611 Mail Service Center I Raleigh,North Carolina 27699-1611 919.707.3601 • Since your facilities are not subject to Federal Effluent Limitation Guidlelines,pH limits have been changed from between 6.0& 10.0 standard units to between 6.0&9.0 standard units in accordance with the pH WQS in 15A NCAC 02B. [See Special Condition A. (1.)] • Please review the components list for each facility on page two,Supplement to Permit Cover Sheet. • Please review instream monitoring locations in footnote 2 of Special Condition A. (1.) Effluent Limitations and Monitoring Requirements. • NC DEMLR will be evaluating stormwater data and may direct your facilities to apply for individual NPDES wastewater coverage in lieu of stormwater general permit coverage under NCG020000 prior to the expiration of that general permit. If that is the case, please be reminded that DWR will require a major modification application and associated fee along with an Engineering Alternatives Analysis for each facility at least 180 days prior to commencing discharge of wastewater previously covered under NCG020000. Any additional discharge of fluoride must be accounted for in a facility's fluoride allocation. • Federal regulations require electronic submittal of all discharge monitoring reports (DMRs)and program reports. The requirement to continue reporting discharge monitoring data electronically using the NC DWR's Electronic Discharge Monitoring Report(eDMR) internet application has been added to your NPDES permit. [See the final Special Condition in each permit] Concurrent with this notification the Division is publishing a notice in a newspaper having circulation in the general Mitchell County area, soliciting public comments on these draft permits.Please provide any written comments you may have to the following: NCDEQ/DWR,NPDES Permitting Branch, 1617 Mail Service Center, Raleigh,NC 27699-1617 no later than 30 days after receipt of this draft permit. Following the 30-day public comment period,the Division will review all pertinent comments and take appropriate action prior to issuing final permits.
