MOORESVILLE REGIONAL OFFICE
Chemetall Foote Corp. owns a lithium metal processing and lithium chloride brine
manufacturing facility in Kings Mountain, North Carolina. The company recently
changed its name to Rockwood Lithium Inc. for brand marketing purposes only,
and did not experience any change in ownership or company management.
In July 2008, NCDENR issued Chemetall Foote NPDES NCO033570 for the
discharge of condensate, non -contact cooling water, and boiler blowdown from
an outfall designated as 001. This outfall was equipped with a sump pit, from
which the above -named process wastewaters could accumulate and then be
manually discharged when necessary. The sump pit and associated outfall is
subject to inspection and monitoring requirements by the State and Chemetall,
and the company has continued to perform these requirements despite the fact
that discharge from this sump pit has seldom been necessary. Due to the nature
of this discharge, the site has not been required to perform any treatment and is
not equipped with a treatment facility.
During early 2011, Chemetall Foote commenced design and construction of a
new lithium hydroxide manufacturing operation. As part of this project, the
company requested to tie-in process wastewaters and sanitary sewer that would
be generated in the lithium hydroxide unit to the City of Kings Mountain Municipal
Wastewater Treatment Facility. At the same time, the company also requested to
tie-in all of the above -named "utility" discharges covered under NPDES
NC0033570.

Upon review, the City of Kings Mountain issued Chemetall Foote an
"Authorization to Construct Process Discharge Sewer Connection" via a letter
dated April 5, 2011. As a result of this authorization, Chemetall Foote
commenced construction of the new production unit and made the necessary
piping tie-ins to eliminate discharge from outfall 001. Construction activities were
just recently completed (see attached certification statement from Project
Manager).
The Kings Mountain facility has not experienced any discharge from Outfall 001
since June 2011, and completion of the tie-in to the City of Kings Mountain
Wastewater Treatment facility eliminates the potential for any future discharge
from this outfall.
As a result of all the above, Rockwood Lithium hereby requests termination of
NPDES NCO033570 and all of its associated compliance activities and
requirements for its Kings Mountain facility, including the submittal of future
discharge monitoring reports.
Please do not hesitate to call me if you have any questions. You can reach me at

ON -SITE INSPECTION REPORT
Laboratory Name:. Chemtall Foote Mineral Company .
Laboratory Address: .348 Holiday Inn Drive, Kings Mountain, NC 28086
LaboratoryCert. Number: 537
Inspection Type: Abbreviated [in conjunction with DWQ plant inspection by Wes Bell]
Inspection Date: March 7, 2002
Inspector(s): Chet Whiting
Local Contact Person(s): Mr. James S. Grayson
I. INTRODUCTION:
The above named laboratory was inspected to verify compliance with 15A NCAC 2H .0800 for
the analysis of environmental samples.
II. OVERVIEW:
The laboratory was neat and well organized. Laboratory personnel provided the inspector(s) with
all materials, and information requested for examination.
III. DEFICIENCIES, REQUIREMENTS, COMMENTS, AND RECOMMENDATIONS:
GENERAL LABORATORY:
A. COMMENT: The laboratory needs to establish duplicate acceptance criteria for pH and TSS.
Several options were discussed at the audit.
pH:
1. DEFICIENCY: The date received and opened was not recorded for pH buffers 7 and 10.
REQUIREMENT: Document the date received and opened for these reagents. Ref: 15A NCAC
2H .0805 (a) (7) (LL).
RESIDUE (TSS):
B. COMMENT: The laboratory filters 1 liter of sample due to the low amount of suspended
material in the samples. Some values below 1 mg/L are reported. These results are below what
this program considers the reportable sensitivity of the analytical balance. Analyses that do not
obtain at least 1 mg of residue for a 1 liter sample are to be reported as <1 mg/L. A zero value
may be used for less than values, in this instance, when calculating the monthly average for
discharge monitoring reports.

Chemtall Foote Mineral Company Audit 2
IV. CONCLUSION:
The laboratory does a good job overall. Generally deficiencies observed were minor. and
infrequent. A few systematic errors were observed. Most of the deficiencies can be corrected by
fine tuning laboratory documentation. All deficiencies from the previous inspection were
corrected. Laboratory personnel were professional and courteous throughout the audit process.
Improvements in documentation were observed. Please respond to all numbered
deficiencies and lettered comments.

We have scheduled an on -site audit of your laboratory for approximately 1:30 p.m., March 21,
2002. The scope of the audit will include all methods marked on Attachment I of the laboratory's current
North Carolina Wastewater /Groundwater Certificate and /or marked on the application for NC
Wastewater/Groundwater Laboratory Certification. The purpose will be to verify the laboratory's
documented quality control/quality assurance procedures and adequacy in meeting the requirements of
15A NCAC 2H .0800.
Enclosed are inspection checklists for the upcoming inspection. Prior to the on -site audit, excluding
the data review sections, please have your analysts complete each checklist. Any checklists that your
laboratory is unable to complete, or any specific items that you do not understand, will be completed during
the inspection. Completion of these checklists prior to the on -site audit, with comments by analysts relating
to specific procedural differences, will help avoid any unnecessary interruption of the analyst's schedule.
Hold these checklists at your laboratory for use at the time of the audit.
The data review portion of the audit will require complete data packets including all of the
supporting documentation for data analysis. This requires, but is not limited to: copies of final reports,
instrument run logs, extraction/digestion logs, chromatograms, benchsheets, standard preparation logs,
calibration curves and sample receipt/chain of custody forms. If the lab is analyzing samples for reporting
to the State of North Carolina, the data packets for those samples should be readily available for review.
For any parameters for which there is no North Carolina data to review, general examples of samples
analyzed by the certified methods will be reviewed along with any documented allowances in the
laboratory's quality system to meet North Carolina program specific requirements.
Thank you for your time and cooperation. I can be contacted at [phone] (extension 297), if
you have questions.

Comment: DMRs for July 2009-June 2010 were reviewed for the inspection. One
daily maximum violation for pH. was reported on March 5, 2010. An extensive internal
review was completed and modifications to the discharge process were implemented to
prevent a future occurrence of the problem. The pH violation was previously handled.
No other violations.were reported for the review period. It was noted that the DMRs for
November 2009 and February 2010 failed to list 'No Discharge' on the appropriate
weeks. It was also noted on the December 2009 DMR that no ORC visitation was
included for the last two weeks of the month. Please submit amended DMRs reflecting
the correct'No Flow' designations as well as ORC visitation as applicable.

RE: March DMR report
Dear Ms. Hood:
Chemetall Foote Corp.
April 19, 2010
r
MAY - 3 2010
Per our telephone conversation, this letter is to update you on the corrective actions taken by
Chemetall Foote Corp.
Attached is a copy of the Accident/[ncident Investigation Report with the recommended corrective
actions.
The corrective actions have been responded to as follows:
1. The site NPDES/NPDES Stormwater Requirements procedure was revised to reflect 6.0
— 9.0, not the 6 — 9 previously shown. The procedure was issued 04-19-10.
2. DWQ Form MR-1 was revised to show the 6.0 — 9.0.
3. The Wastewater treatment operator is to review the documented and analytical results
each month and compare the results to the permit limits, beginning with the April report.
4. The recommendation was made that the QC Lab update the analytical form to show the
permit limits. The Halide supervisor did not agree with the recommendation because the
QC Lab technicians are only responsible to report the actual analytical data, not to
compare the data to the permit limits.
If you have any questions or require further information, please contact me at 704-734-2698.
Sincerely,
A01111111

ACCIDENT / INCIDENT INVESTIGATION REPORT
KINGS MOUNTAIN OPERATIONS
INCIDENT DESCRIPTION
While preparing the discharge monitoring report for the month of March, SSG noticed that the
reported pH for the discharge on March 5 was 9.38 against a permit limit of 9.0 maximum.
The circumstances of the analysis and report were reviewed. The analysis of the boiler sump
water was conducted in the QC Laboratory and reported as 9.34 and 9.38.
The pH was adjusted in the sump. The sample was taken to the QC Lab. The Halide operator
waited until the pH was run. The QC Technician verbally communicated the pH results to the
Halide operator. It is likely that the Halide operator also observed the pH reading. The pH was
then entered on the analytical sheet and the Halide operator returned to Halide.
The lab analyzed the lithium and the TSS and then called Halide to notify them that the sump
was ready to be pumped. This was sometime later.
The NC DENR WQ office in Mooresville was called on April 16 and the circumstances
reviewed. Based on their guidance, the DMR report will be submitted showing a noncompliant
status and a list of corrective actions and completion dates attached to the report.
OBSERVATIONS
1. The Halide operator is a qualified Wastewater Treatment Operator whose training is current.
2. In the NPDES section of the Environmental manual there are two sections where the pH is
referenced. In one section the upper limit was shown as 9 instead of 9.0.
3. The Effluent discharge form showed the pH range as 6-9 instead of 6.0-9.0.
4. The procedure says the lab is responsible to approve the discharge, but the information on
the limits was not readily available to the QC Lab technician.
5. There is no review of all the DOCUMENTED data after the complete analysis was
complete prior to the discharge by the Wastewater Treatment Operator.
DISCUSSION
The problem was a system issue, in which there were errors in the system that allowed the missed
communication to occur. Both the Halide operator and the QC technician are conscientious, long
term employees.
RECOMMENDATIONS
1. Procedures in the Environmental Manual are updated.
2. The DMR Effluent form has had the correct pH limits added.
3. The Wastewater treatment operator is to review the documented analytical results and
compare them to the permit limits and sign off on verification. Only if all conditions are met
shall the discharge occur.

Subject: Renewal Notice
NPDES Permit NCO033570
Chemetall Foote Corporation
Cleveland County
Dear Permittee:
Your NPDES permit expires on August 31, 2008. Federal (40 CFR 122.41) and North Carolina (15A
NCAC 2H.0105(e)) regulations require that permit renewal applications must be filed at least 180 days prior
to expiration of the current permit. If you have already mailed your renewal application, you may
disregard this notice.
To satisfy this requirement, your renewal package must be sent to the Division postmarked no later
than March 4, 2008. Failure to request renewal by this date may result in a civil assessment of at least
$500.00. Larger penalties may be assessed depending upon the delinquency of the request.
If any wastewater discharge will occur after August 31, 2008, the current permit must be renewed.
Discharge of wastewater without a valid permit would violate North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1;
unpermitted discharges of wastewater may be assessed civil penalties of up to $25,000 per day.
If all wastewater discharge has ceased at your facility and you wish to rescind this permit, contact
me at the telephone number or address listed below.
Use the enclosed checklist to complete your renewal package. The checklist identifies the items you
must submit with the permit renewal application. If you have any questions, please contact me at the
telephone number or e-mail address listed below.

The permittee shall perform an annual toxicity test using protocols defined in the North Carolina
Procedure Document entitled "Pass/Fail Methodology For Determining Acute Toxicity In A Single
Effluent Concentration" (Revised -July, 1992 or subsequent versions). The monitoring shall be
performed as a Fathead Minnow (Pimephales promelas) 24 hour static test. The effluent
concentration defined as treatment two in the procedure document is 90% Effluent samples for
self -monitoring purposes must be obtained during representative effluent discharge below all

[continued on next page]

Permit NCO033570
A. (2) ACUTE TOXICITY LIMIT (Annual)
[continued]
All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit condition will be entered on the Effluent
Discharge Monitoring Form (MR-1) for the month in which it was performed, using the parameter
code TGEAC. Additionally, DWQ Form AT-3 (original) is to be sent to the following address:
Attention: NC DENR /'DWQ / Environmental Sciences Section
1621 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1621
Completed Aquatic Toxicity Test Forms shall be filed with the Environmental Sciences Section no
later than 30 days after the end of the reporting period for which the report is made.
Test data shall be complete and accurate and include all supporting chemical/physical
measurements performed in association with the toxicity tests, as well as all dose/response data.
Total Residual Chlorine of the effluent toxicity sample must be measured and reported if chlorine
is employed for disinfection of the waste stream.
Should any test data from either these monitoring requirements or tests performed by the North
Carolina Division of Water Quality indicate potential impacts to the receiving stream, this permit
may be re -opened and modified to include alternate monitoring requirements or limits.
NOTE: Failure to achieve test conditions as specified in the cited document, such as minimum
control organism survival and appropriate environmental controls, shall constitute an invalid test
and will require immediate follow-up testing to be completed no later than the last day of the
month following the month of the initial monitoring.

Subject: Notice of Violation - Effluent Limitations
Tracking #: NOV-2008-LV-0129
Chemetall Foote WWTP
NPDES Permit No. NCO033570
Cleveland County
Dear Mr. Hawk:
A review of the November 2007 self -monitoring report for the subject facility revealed a
violation of the following parameter for Outfall 001:
Date Parameter Reported Value Permit Limit
11/29/07 pH 9.4 SU 9.0 SU (Daily maximum)
The Facility Status was erroneously listed as Compliant on the backside of the Discharge
Monitoring Report — DWQ Form MR-1; this is also a violation subject to an enforcement action.
Remedial actions, if not already implemented, should be taken to correct any problems. Since
the comments section on the reverse of the relevant Discharge Monitoring Report did not provide
an explanation for the noted effluent limit violation, it is requested that a written response to this
Notice be submitted by no later than April 8, 2008. The response should include any additional
information concerning the violation or comments that you wish to present. Please address your
response to the attention of Ms. Marcia Allocco of th>s Office.
The Division of Water Quality may pursue enforcement actions for this and any
additional violations. If the violations are of a continuing nature, not related to operation and/or
maintenance problems, and you anticipate remedial construction activities, then you may wish to
consider applying for a Special Order by Consent. You may contact Ms. Allocco of this Office
for additional information.

RESPONSE TO NOV-2008-LV-0129
Dear Ms. Allocco:
Thank you for your prompt response to my message relative to this NOV.
Chemetall Foote Corp. personnel reviewed the records associated with the submission
of the November, 2007 DMR and determined that the pH of 9.4 SU that was reported
was a transcription error on the part of the Operator Responsible in Charge.
The pH that was reported by the site laboratory for that discharge was 7.4. 1 am
attaching a copy of that laboratory sheet and a copy of a corrected DMR.
We apologize for any problems our error has caused, and will evaluate the internal
review process for these reports to reduce the chance of this type of error occurring
again.
If you have any questions or require further information, please contact me at 704-734-
2698.

PERMIT:
The permit authorizes the continued discharge of condensate, non -contact cooling water, and
boiler blowdown from Outfall 001.
The permit for this facility became effective on January 1, I999 and will expire on August 31,
2003. A permit renewal application was received by the Division on January 28, 2003.
RECORDS AND REPORTS:
Records and reports consisting of monthly monitoring reports, lab analysis reports, calibration
logs, process control data, and Operator -in -Responsible Charge/maintenance log were reviewed at the time
of the inspection. The records were organized and well maintained.
FACILITY SITE REVIEW/OPERATIONS & MAINTENANCE:
The facility consists of a collection sump with mixer and the capability to adjust pH (Sulfuric
Acid) on an as- needed basis: The effluent passes through a cloth filter to remove solids before being
discharged via pump. The facility appeared to be well maintained at the time of the inspection.
The facility is staffed with one Grade I operator. A certified back-up operator has been designated
and is available when the ORC is unable to visit the facility. The ORC was very knowledgeable of the
treatment processes and equipment used at the plant.
LABORATORY:
The on -site laboratory (Certification 9537) provides analytical support. Please refer to the report
by Mr. Chet Whiting of the Division's Laboratory Certification Unit concerning the facility's laboratory
practices.
EFFLUENT/RECEIVING WATERS:
The facility discharges into Kings Creek, which is a Class C water in the Broad River Basin. The
facility was not discharging on the day of the inspection. The receiving stream was not evaluated.
SELF -MONITORING PROGRAM:
Self -monitoring reports were reviewed for the period October 2002 through September 2003. No
monitoring or limit violations were reported for the period. The upstream and downstream sampling
locations are consistent with the permit requirements.
FLOW MEASUREMENT:
Effluent flow is measured instantaneously by calculating the volume of water pumped from the
sump.

Subject: Renewal Notice
NPDES Permit NCO033570
Chemetall Foote Corporation
Cleveland County
Dear Permittee:
The subject permit expires on August 31, 2003. North Carolina Administrative Code (15A NCAC 2H.0105(e)) requires
that an application for permit renewal be filed at least 180 days prior to expiration of the current permit. If you have already
mailed your renewal application, you may disregard this notice.
To satisfy this requirement, your renewal package must be sent to the Division postmarked no later than March 4, 2003.
Failure to request renewal of the permit by this date may result in a civil assessment of at least $500.00. Larger penalties may be
assessed depending upon the delinquency of the request.
If any wastewater discharge will occur after August 31, 2003 (or if continuation of the permit is desired), the current
permit must be renewed. Discharge of wastewater without a valid permit would violate North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1
and could result in assessment of civil penalties of up to $25,000 per day.
If all wastewater discharge has ceased at your facility and you wish to rescind this permit, contact Bob Sledge of the
Division's Compliance Enforcement Unit at [phone], extension 547. You may also contact the Mooresville Regional
Office at [phone] to begin the rescission process.
Use the enclosed checklist to complete your renewal package. The checklist identifies the items you must submit with
the permit renewal application. If you have any questions, please contact Valery Stephens at [phone], extension 520.
Sincerely,
Charles H. Weaver, Jr.
