Subject: RE: Draft report on Nash Brick
Hey Myrl, just three comments for your consideration:
1. item b. of your letter should read that wastewater sampling is required quarterly, not semi-annually;
2. and we may want to speak to their repeated comments on their posture of not cleaning out the sediment basins
because that would just make circumstances worse. In retrospect, it may be that they were probing to see what
we would tell them about how or how often to clean out the basins. We might want to comment more or less
to this effect:
" While observing the several sediment basins installed, you or your staff commented as to your intention to clean out
those sediment basis as infrequently as possible, if at all, because the actual cleaning out of the basins might do more
harm than good to the receiving water. DWQ can provide no guidance on this proposed course of action. We would
rely on the permit wastewater limits — if you are meeting limits, fine. If you are not meeting limits — then you must take
actions to come into compliance. Whether those actions include, or do not include, cleaning out of existing sediment
basins is an operational decision for Nash Brick. "
And, 3. I'm not sure that they have a comprehensive grasp of the individual permit option (or, maybe it's just me
without a grasp). This letter may not be the place to open the topic, but I expect them to raise it again. Similarly, along
with the individual permit concept, I think we will have to be prepared to answer their repeat question of, "And if we get
an individual permit, what would the requirements be?" - - One response we discussed on the way back was to alert
them that it makes more sense to us to have them gather data under the NCG02, and if the accumulated data (2 yrs? 3
yrs?) show that we can relieve the sampling burden, we would entertain an individual permit application. We would
have some programmatic constraints to work out on this point. As I indicated, we clearly have NPDES 5tormwater
program authority to reduce monitoring burdens. I've never explored whether we have the same rules -based authority
with respect to the wastewater discharges covered by this permit. We may not — I just don't know. ,
Further along this same line of thinking, the question may be put to us in the form of, can we modify the sampling
requirements for wastewater under NCGOZ? - - i think It's unlikely that we would do that, except in the face of very
strong data. The conditions and text of General Permits are not intended to be changed per site circumstances,
although we have found various ways to make changes when the circumstances strongly indicated we should. Generally
the argument that it would cost less if sampling were less is not a sufficient argument. If at some time in the future we
are convinced of the need, we may be persuaded to find some way to change, but it's not appropriate at this time, in my
mind. The easy path here is for them to just accept the NCG02, and after some data is accumulated then consider if it
supports any reduction in wastewater sampling. - - - -- - Jennifer, further thoughts on this topic?

LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL
Date: February 24, 2010
TO: Division of Water Quality
Ms. Jennifer Jones
From: Engineering and Environmental Science Company (EzS)
Pat Shillington
Subject: Nash Brick Stormwater NOI
Ita Mine
Submitted is the NCG020000 Notice of Intent (NOI), the applicable supporting
information, and the $100.00 permit fee.
At the present time, Nash Brick has a plant permit. Permit No. NCG070080. Please
rescind this permit once the new NCG020000 permit is issued.
The Ita Mine Facility has .six discharge points at the present time. Three (3) of the
discharge points (Locations 1, 2, and 3) are strictly from the mine. Location 4 is from the
stockpile area and LCID Landf ill. Location 6 is from the mine refuse area and portions of
the brick plan area. Location 5 includes the brick plant and the mine area.
Locations 1, 2, and 3 (which only include runoff for the mine areas), the mine areas as
well as the downstream erosion control structures can temporarily contain the runoff from
the 25-year, 24 hour rain event. These mine areas do hold water especially during the
winter months and immediately after large rain events. This water accumulation restricts
the areas that can be mined as only dry soil can be excavated from these mines.
Excavation in areas with ponding water results in too wet of material to be processed at
the plant. (Wet material can not be ground and screened.)
Based on the above information, it is requested that only one (1) of the discharge points
for Locations 1, 2, and 3 be sampled during a rain event. Based on visual observations at
Nash Brick on January 7 with Ms. Jennifer Jones, Mr. Myrl Nisely, and Mr. Joseph
Gyamf with the Division of Water Quality, the discharge from Location 1 had the most

turbidity. Therefore, we request that only Location l be tested as representative of the
other discharge points (Locations 2 and 3). JW /U4 � PrvrDClrS a — .
Also, it is requested that sampling frequency be conducted twice yearly instead of four
times a year as discussed during the February 7, 2010 site meeting. Nash Brick does not
mine in the areas where ponding water is present, nor does Nash Brick pump water from
the mine. All surface water discharges because of gravity.
