Dear Mr. Ferguson:
ROY COOPER

MICHAEL S. REGAN
Secretary
TRACY DAVIS
Director
On May 12, 2017, personnel of this office inspected the Buna Mine in Mitchell County. This inspection
was performed due to a complaint. The Buna Mine was issued an exemption from monitoring during
dormant status on April 8, 2016. This inspection revealed that industrial activity has taken place on the
site without prior 30-day notification to this office as required to maintain granted dormancy status.
The following deficiencies and permit condition violations and the necessary corrective actions are as
follows: '
Section B: Permitted Activities: If mining activities will expand or change such that the types of
discharges are affected; the perm ittee must first contact DEMLR's Stormwater Permitting
Program to determine if modifications to the COC are necessary. The permitter is also
responsible for contacting DEMLR if modifications to the Mining Permit are necessary, as
compliance with the Mining Permit is a stipulation of this permit.
Oneratina Condition No. 11 (Plan Modification): The operator shall notify the Department in
writing of the desire to delete, modify or otherwise change any part of the mining, reclamation, or
erosion/sediment control plan contained in the approval application for a mining permit and any
approved revisions to it. Approval to implement such changes must be obtained from the
Department prior to on -site implementation of the revisions.

Unimin Corporation failed to notify this office in writing and all the components of the
stormwater permit requiring updates made at least 30 days prior to commencing any industrial
activity on the site, even if they are temporary. The dormancy status has immediately been
rescinded. Qualitative and analytical monitoring is now required for the site.
Remedial actions, if not already implemented, should be taken to correct the above noncompliance.
Please submit a written response to this Notice of Deficiency. Your response is to be received by the
regional office and the Raleigh office within 30 business days following receipt of this Notice.
Please be aware that non-compliance with your permit could result in enforcement action by the Division

Dear Mr. Ferguson:
A Compliance Evaluation Inspection,performed at the Buna Quarry on March 4, 2016, by personnel from this office
verified that no industrial activity was taking place at the time of the inspection. Your recent request to keep the
NCG020273 permit, but to discontinue stormwater monitoring is hereby approved based on the following conditions:
There shall be no industrial activities taking place, no stockpiles of raw materials (to include chemical
additives) stored on the site, or wastewater or stormwater industrial discharges while the permittee is not
monitoring.
No wastewater shall be generated and all wastewater treatment units, if any, shall be cleaned and stabilized,
and inactivated as to render them harmless to the environment while the site is dormant.
The Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) shall be kept updated to reflect the status of the facility.
Updates and conditions of the SPPP of note are:
o The BMP Summary shall be reviewed and updated annually.
o Training programs shall be developed and training provided at least once a year for facility
personnel with responsibilities for: spill response and cleanup, preventative maintenance
activities, and for any of the facility's operations that have the potential to contaminate
stormwater runoff.
o All aspects of the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan shall he reviewed and updated on an
annual basis. The annual update shall include an updated list of significant spills or leaks of
pollutants for the previous three years, or the notation that no spills have occurred. The
annual update shall include written recertification that the stormwater outfalls have been
evaluated for the presence of nonstormwater discharges. (Should non-stormwater discharges
be discovered the permittee shall contact this office as soon as possible but in no case greater
than 24 hours or the next business day).
o Inspections of the facility and all stormwater systems shall occur as part of the Preventative
Maintenance and Good Housekeeping Program at a minimum on a semi-annual schedule.
Qualitative and analytical monitoring actions as described in Part III, Sections A, B, C, D, and E do not
have to be conducted — as long as the above conditions and all other permit conditions and limitations are met,

Inspection Summary:
I inspected the site with Jeff Ferguson and Daniel Garland, both with Unimin.
The Buna Quarry is not active and had no activity occuring. The site is being monitored and maintained. On a previous
inspection 1 had suggested that Unimin request an additional'inspeclion of the site and request dormant status to
discontinue stormwater mohitoring. Their mining permit is current and they are in oompliance with DLR.
We discussed that the annual stormwater permit fees will still need to be paid, and If at any time the mine wants to start
back up a request would need to be submitted to return to active status.
I suggested to Jeff that he submit his request in writing. We received the request on March 21, 2016.
I recommend granting dormant status for the quarry.

Unimin Corporation —
Buna Mine
COC NCG020273
Mitchell County
In accordance with your request for renewal of a discharge permit received on May 30, 2014, we are
forwarding herewith the subject certificate of coverage to discharge under the subject state — NPDES general
permit. 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 (COC).
Please be advised that EPA Region 4 staff who performed a Compliance Sampling Inspection (CSI) at
the end of March 2015 and follow-up sampling in June 2015 at other industrial mineral mines in North
Carolina raised concerns about metals levels in the discharges. The Stormwater Permitting Program
identified mines like this one that have similar activities. During the term of this General Permit, this site may
be evaluated further for an alternative permitting action, such as applying to the Division of Water Resources
(DWR) for an individual NPDES discharge permit (or modification of its existing wastewater individual permit)
prior to the expiration of this General Permit in 2020,
This permit does not affect the legal requirements to obtain other permits which may be required by the
Division of Energy, Mineral, and Land Resources, or permits required by the Division of Water Resources
(DWR), Coastal Area Management Act, or any other federal or local governmental permit that may be
required. If the conditions as stipulated in the COC are unacceptable to you, you may apply sooner for an
individual NPDES discharge permit.

Environmental Activities) Division of Energy, Mineral, and Land Resources
Quality
Technical Bulletin for NCG020000 (Mining) Last Revised 101812015
What activities are covered by this general permit?
NCG020000 coverage authorizes:
• Stormwater discharges associated with mining and quarrying of non-metallic minerals (except fuels),
mine excavation, processing, and vehicle maintenance activities (VMA) at mine sites.
• Wastewater discharges (dewatering, process wastewater, wastewater recycle system overflows).
• Operation of wastewater treatment systems (Authorization to Construct no longer required).
NCG02.9 00 coverage Is NOT APPLICABLE to:
• Borrow Pits covered by the NC DOT statewide stormwater permit.
• Peat mining, coal mining, metal mining, or oil & gas extraction operations.
• Wastewater not specifically identified by the general permit.
What are key stormwater requirements?
NCG020000 requires periodic discharge monitoring and a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP):
• Develop and implement an SPPP, and update it at least annually.
• Inspect Stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs) once every seven (7) calendar days.
• Semi-annual analytical monitoring and qualitative (visual) monitoring.
• Report stormwater monitoring data once a year by March 1 st to DEQ Central Office.
• Report benchmark exceedances or Tier 2 monitoring to the DEMLR Regional Office within 30 days.
• Respond to benchmark exceedances according to Tier response requirements.
What -are key wastewater requirements?
NCG020000 stipulates wastewater treatment facility operational requirements and periodic discharge
monitoring:
• Notify DEQ if facility fails to perform satisfactorily or creates nuisance conditions.
• Only DEQ-evaluated flocculonts may be used, if administered according to maximum application doses.
• Quarterly analytical monitoring for first year, or until four consecutive samples comply with all limits (then
semi-annual monitoring allowed). Quarterly monitoring schedule resumes upon any limit violation.
• Settleable solids (SS) monitoring applies to discharges to HQW, ORW, SA, SB, PNA, or Tr designated waters.
• Total Suspended Solids (TSS) limits specific to industrial sand mines, and to any mine discharging to HQW.
• Report wastewater effluent monitoring data once a year (by March 1 st) to DEQ Central Office.
• Report effluent limitation violations to the DEMLR Regional Office within 30 days.
• Effluent turbidity levels above the water quality standard prompt upstream and downstream monitoring.
What has changed from the previous permit?
Some changes specific to Stormwater:
• Reduced BMP inspections (weekly) for active
mines; additional allowances for inactive mines
that quality for "dormant status."
• Changes to SPPP Annual Update.
• "Measureable storm event" (any size that results in
a discharge) replaces "Representative" event.
• New benchmarks and Tiers specific to turbidity.
• Total Flow and event duration no longer required.
• pH removed from VMA monitoring.
Some changes specific to Wastewater:
• May drop to semi-annual WW monitoring after four
quarterly samples that comply with all limitations.
• Turbidity instream monitoring is required if effluent
levels above the water quality standard.
• SS monitoring for sensitive waters only (HQW, etc.)
• TSS limits apply to industrial sand mines and HQWs.
Changes from the last permit are detailed in the
"Response to Comments and Summary of Changes"
Document for the 2015 NCG02 GP on our website.

PAGE TECHNICAL BULLETIN FOR N.C. GENERAL NPDES PERMIT NCG020000 (MINING ACTIVITIES)
Frequently Asked Questions
What if my mine is inactive?
The permit makes allowances for
Inactive mines that have sus-
pended all industrial activities
and that certify to DEMLR that
the site has been stabilized. If
approved for "dormant status,"
these operations qualify for re-
duced BMP inspections and may
be exempted from outfall moni-
toring by the Regional Engineer,
Do I have to monitor all
outfalls?
Yes. However, you may request
Representative Outfall Status
(ROS). If approved, ROS allows
monitoring at fewer outfalls. To
request ROS, submit on ROS Re-
quest Form to the DEMLR Region-
al Office. The form is available
on our website (below).
Also, the Regional Office may
exempt mines with "dormant sta-
tus" from analytical and/or quali-
tative monitoring.
What if l sell my business, or
the name changes?
You are required to notify DEMLR
of those changes in writing, and
continuation of permit coverage
is subject to the Director's ap-
proval. Please submit the Name/
Ownership Change form located

What do I do when my permit
expires?
Permitees are not required to sub-
mit an application for renewal un-
less directed by the Division, The
permittee should continue to
abide by this general permit if it
expires and renewed coverage
has not yet been issued.
What is wastewater, and what
is stormwater at a mine site?
Any water contacting an actively
mined area, water used to pro-
cess mined materials, and mine
dewatering water are all consid-
ered "wastewater." For some
mines, "mine dewatering" also
means wet pit overflows, and not
just pumped -out water. Any
stormwater that commingles with
these waters is "wastewater."
"stormwater" includes runoff from
areas related to mining, pro-
cessing, or raw material storage
areas, such as haul roads or pro-
cessing plant areas at the mine.
Sometimes the answer is not clear
because of how broad the defini-
tions are. For example, N.C. con-
siders runoff from areas that con-
tain overburden only (no mined
or processed material), and that
does not commingle with
wastewater (including runoff from
the mine), to be stormwater. If
you are unsure about discharges,
please contact the DEMLR Re-
gional Office for assistance.
Does a certified lab need to
analyze my samples?
Monitoring under NPDES permits
must be conducted in accord-
ance with test procedures ap-
proved in federal regulations in 40
CFR § 136. All labs certified by
LAST REV. 1(18115
North Carolina perform analysis in
accordance with those proce-
dures. While N.C. certification re-
quirements do not apply to testing
stormwater-only discharges, data
gathered under an NPDES permit
must still conform to federal re-
quirements. Using a North Caroli-
na certified lab is one way to en-
sure compliance. A list of certified
labs is available from: http:// .
portal.ncdenr.org/web/wq/lcb/
cert/
What if I pull -samples for my
analytical monitoring, and I'm
unable to get a sample or valid
results for a parameter?
If this happens, please sample for
the missing parameter during the
next measureable storm event or
wastewater discharge.
If I sample my discharge, do I
have to do visual monitoring at
the same time?
You may, but it is not necessary
under NCG02. Some other gen-
eral permits require it, however.
What if there is no flow for a
period between two samples
that exceed a benchmark? Are
those consecutive exceedances?
Yes. This scenario still puts you in
Tier 2. The new permit is more
clear about how the Tier 2 trigger
omits periods of no discharge.
Who can help me with questions? y,

Please verify whether Qualitative Monitoring must be performed during a "representative storm
event" or "measureable storm event" (requirements vary, depending on the permit).
Qualitative monitoring requirements vary. Most permits require qualitative monitoring to be
performed during a "representative storm event" or during a "measureable storm event." However,
some permits do not have this requirement. Please refer to these. definitions, if applicable.
A "representative storm event" is a storm event that measures greater than 0.1 inches of rainfall
and that is preceded by at least 72 hours (3 days) in which no storm event measuring greater than
0.1 inches has occurred. A single storm event may contain up to 10 consecutive hours of no
precipitation.
A "measurable storm event" is a storm event that results in an actual discharge from the
permitted site outfall. The previous measurable storm event must have'been at,least 72 hours
prior. The 72-hour storm interval does not apply if the permittee is able to document that a shorter
interval is representative for local storm events during the sampling period, and the permittee
obtains approval from the local DWQ Regional Office.

Subject: NPDES General Permit NCG02 Renewal Update - Special Notification for NCG020273
Dear Mr. Ferguson,
We are writing to notify you that your facility will receive a paper renewal package for this permit instead of an email
about renewing your Certificate of Coverage (COC) on-line for this mine site, covered under Certificate of Coverage No.
NCG020273 (Buna Mine). We realize that you requested the on-line renewal option and have been waiting for those
instructions and PIN to complete it. We wanted to get in touch about why you'll receive something different.
Inspections and sampling by U.S. EPA Region 4 staff earlier this year at three industrial mineral mines in western NC have
raised questions about whether this General Permit provides appropriate coverage for the discharges from similar types
of mining and processing operations. We will renew your facility's coverage under the General Permit, but we will
communicate special information with the renewal package. This site may need to apply for an individual NPDES permit
in the future.
Please be on the lookout for important correspondence from us in the coming weeks.
Regards,
The Stormwater Permitting Program

Fran,
I got a call today on an invoice that went out on this one. Apparently they sold the facility a number of years ago. We just
had an ownership change on it last year and it looks like we didn't copy you on the name change. So, the billing contact
is still KT Feldspar. I called them and they indicated the billing contact should be:
Doug Myers
Unimin Corporation
PO Box 588
Spruce Pine, NC 28777
Looks like the owe three years and I doubt they ever got these.
