It is estimated that treatment works will provide adequate capacity to serve the
drying plant for a period of 5 years,
at which time it is estimated the average daily sewage or waste flow will not exceed
30,000 gallons. It is further expected that the treatment works will affect over •

all reductions in pollution as follows: B.O.D. (5-day 20°C) %, suspended solids
%, total solids %, conform bacteria %, and toxic materials*. . The •
cost of the proposed works is estimated to. be: sewers $ , pumping stations
$ 2 ,000. , 'treatment plant $ , other $2,000. . The works will be completed
on or before October 15, , 19 76• .
The applicant hereby agrees that the proposed works will be constructed in strict accordance with the approved plans and •

This is an existing facility consisting of an influent pump station ,
; ' three inorganic settling basins and a discharge of treated wastewater into
the South Toe River. The three unlined settling basins should have very
little effect on groundwater quality. No groundwater monitoring facilities
• are presently needed but may be required at, a later date if changes in
conditions or production processes warrant it.

Bee Tree Water Treatment Plant _ '

In my review of the application for a backwash pond for the Bee.
Tree Water Treatment Plant, I do not anticipate any appreciable effects
to the groundwaters of the area since only sediments filtered out of the
raw water during "backwash operations-will be discharged into the basin.

Subject: Tailings Disposal
IMC Olivine Company
Yancey County, North Carolina
Dear Mr. Turner:Results of analyses performed on samples of clarified water at IMC's
Yancey County Plant plus samples of water taken from the Newdale Pit have
been returned. A review of the results of these analyses lead us to be-
lieve that no problems relating to degradation of groundwater quality will
result should IMC choose to utilize its Newdale Pit as a site for disposal
of tailings from its Yancey County operation,. I do not feel that it is
necessary-for the Division of Environmental Management to issue a permit
for this activity. I would ask that you inform us when and if you make
the decision, to utilize the Newdale Pit as a tailings disposal site and
would ask that you inform us when disposal of tailings at that site begins.
I have informed Richard Phillips of the Land Quality Section of your
plans. .
Sincerely,
