Per our conversation, the owner is applying for a NPDES permit that allows direct discharge into the stream. The runoff Is tested during the pumping operations to ensure that it complies " limits. The water being pumped is the stormwater runoff collected from the upstream drainage basin, runoff from the site that flows into the pit, and any groundwater that seeps into the Qua The NPDES permit applications requires that the owner evaluate other options for treatment including available sewer, In order respond to this question. I would like to get an email about th or the Utility's position about accepting the pit discharge and project runoff into the sewer system. Please call if you have any questions.

This permit is issued pursuant to the requirements of North Carolina General Statute 143- 215.1 and the Memorandum of Agreement between North Carolina and the US Environmental Protection Agency dated October 15, 2007 (or as subsequently amended). Please take notice that this certificate of coverage is not transferable except after notice to the Division of Energy, Mineral, and Land Resources. The Division may require modification or revocation and reissuance of the certificate of coverage. This general permit allows the discharge of stormwater and certain types of wastewater from your facility. In your application, you specified that only mine dewatering water would be discharged from this facility. If separate point -source discharges of stormwater occur (i.e., stormwater not combined with mine dewatering water), you will be required to adhere to the conditions in this permit for stormwater discharges. Also, you may be required to apply for a separate Post -Construction stormwater permit from the State or local government (Winston-Salem in this case) if you are adding built -upon area at this site. Please see guidance on our website for mines located in Phase Il Post -Construction areas (in the table along with the NCG020000 General Permit, on this page: (http://deg .nc.gov/about/divisions/energy- mineral-land-resourceslenergy-mineral-land-permits/stormwater-permits/npdes-industrial-sw).
