To Whom It May Concern,
I am contacting you to respectfully request a public hearing on Badin Business Park
LLC's (BBP) request for a Special Order by Consent from the NC Environmental Management
Commission(EMC SOC WQ S 19-009) for its facility that discharges groundwater, stormwater,
and fire protection water into Little Mountain Creek and Badin Lake. The public has a right to
know how the design and construction of an upgraded stormwater piping system will help BBP
attain compliance with the final effluent limitations in BBP's NPDES Permit NC0004308. It is
important that the public has an opportunity to comment on the proposed SOC as it has the
potential to impact the water quality in Badin Lake and Little Mountain Creek for generations to
come.
As you are aware,there are more than 40 documented solid waste disposal units in and
around BBP containing hazardous waste that is leaching into the groundwater. As noted in Item
l.a of the proposed SOC, `Kadin Park is unable to consistently comply with the final effluent
limits for Total Fluoride and Total Cyanide as set forth in NPDES permit NC0004308 for Outfall
005." It now appears that simply diverting this discharge to a"mixing zone," in Badin Lake,
where that effluent would be measured,would solve the problem, or simply put"dilution being
the solution to pollution."As a result of these uncertainties and the potential ongoing impact on
the water quality of Little Mountain Creek and Badin Lake, which is already under a PCB
advisory for fish consumption,the NC Department of Environmental Quality should hold a
public hearing on BBP's request for another SOC, which will further delay meaningful efforts to
improve water quality and remove the source of pollution from this watershed.
Sincerely,

Re: Public Hearing Request for SOC for NPDES Permit#0004308
Dear Mr. Denard,
Thank you for so promptly returning my phone call about your mailing address.
I own a house that has water frontage on Badin Lake. We enjoy boating, fishing and swimming in the
lake, and we all enjoy swimming in the lake. Naturally I am very concerned about the quality of the
water in the lake.
I am contacting you to request a public hearing on Badin Business Park LLC's (BBP) request for a Special
Order by Consent from the NC Environmental Management Commission (EMC SOC WQ S19-009)for its
facility that discharges groundwater,stormwater and fire protection water into Little Mountain Creek
and Badin Lake. I feel that is imperative that the public has the opportunity e learn more about anu
comment on the proposed SOC as it has the potential to impact the water quality in Badin Lake and
Little Mountain Creek for generations to come.
I feel it would be prudent for the NC Department of Environmental Quality to hold a public hearing on
BBP's request for another SOC, which will further delay meaningful efforts to improve water quality and
remove the source of pollution from this watershed.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,

Re: Public Hearing Request for SOC for NPDES Permit#0004308
Dear Mr. Denard,
I am contacting you to respectfully request a public hearing on Badin Business Park LLC's (BBP) request
for a Special Order by Consent from the NC Environmental Management Commission (EMC SOC WQ
S19-009) for its facility that discharges groundwater, stormwater and fire protection water into Little
Mountain Creek and Badin Lake. It is unclear from the requested SOC how the design and construction
of an upgraded stormwater piping system will help BBP attain compliance with the final effluent
limitations in BBP's NPDES Permit NC0004308 and we feel that is imperative that the public has the
opportunity to learn more about and comment on the proposed SOC as it has the potential to impact
the water quality in Badin Lake and Little Mountain Creek for generations to come.
As you are aware, there are more than 40 documented solid waste disposal units in and around BBP
containing hazardous waste this is leaching into the groundwater. It is unclear if the current
contamination coming from the combined stormwater wastewater system is due to groundwater
intrusion in the new system, or from contaminated soil, over which stormwater runs before going into
the new piping system.
As noted in Item 1.a of the proposed SOC, "Badin Park is unable to consistently comply with the final
effluent limits for Total Fluoride and Total Cyanide as set forth in NPDES permit NC0004308 for Outfall
005." It now appears that simply diverting this discharge to a "mixing zone," in Badin Lake, where that
effluent would be measured, would solve the problem, or simply put "dilution being the solution to
pollution."
As a result of these uncertainties and the potential ongoing impact on the water quality of Little
Mountain Creek and Badin Lake, which is already under a PCB advisory for fish consumption, I feel it
