PART IV - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Granite Stone of North Carolina, Inc. was issued an NPDES
Permit (No. NCO079375) to discharge wastewater from a stone mining
facility. The wastewater consists solely of surface runoff and
rainwater collected in the quarry pits. However, this mining
facility is not in operation.
Currently, the applicant requests that the subject discharge
be covered under an NPDES General Permit. An onsite investigation
performed by staff of the Mooresville Regional Office revealed that
the facility meets the General Permit requirement. Therefore, it
is recommended that a General Permit be issued to the applicant as
requested.
