COC NCG020795
Avery County
Dear Mr. Solazzo:
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 10/812015
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 (dewate(ng, process wastewater, wastewater recycle system overflows).
• Operation of wastewater treatment systems (Authorization to Construct no longer required).
NCG020000 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 DEG 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 DEG if facility faiis to perform satisfactorily or creates nuisance conditions.
• Only DEQ-evaluated flocculants 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 1st) 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 qualify for "dormant status."
• Changes to SPPP Annual Update.
• "Measureable storm event" (any size fhot 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 fast permit are detailed in the
"Response to Comments and Summary of Changes"
Document for the 20i5 NCG02 GP on our website.
PAGE TECHNICAL BULLETIN FOR N.C. GENERAL NPDES PERMIT NCGO20000 (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 1 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 an 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 I 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
on our Program website.
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, wafer 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 gommincile 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. 10IM 5
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/lab/
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
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
cleat about how the Tier 2 trigger
omits periods of no discharge.
Who can help me with questions?

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 01 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.
