Westinghouse Environmental Services has been retained by Narex Ore
Search Consultants to prepare and submit on their behalf the enclosed
Non -Discharge Permit Application. The application covers their proposed
gravel/sand dredging operation referred to as the Kar.led Mine located in
McDowell County, North Carolina.
The following are enclosed with this letter and comprise the complete
application package:
o Completed Non -Discharge Permit Application Form
o Westinghouse Drawing No. 4114-89-404-01, Process Flow Diagram
o Permit Processing fee, $30V
o Little & Little project drawing No. 7100.02 sheets 1, 2 & 3 which
provides a general location map, erosion control plan, and a
description of the mining operation.

Mr. Moubeery
March 2, 1989
Page 2
As described in the application package, the process essentially
consists of the following steps:
1. Dredging gravel and sand from a pool whose water level elevation
is below the surrounding ground water level,
2. Using the water in the dredge pool to convey the sand and gravel
to a stock pile area.
3. Removing the gravel and sand from,the water using screens and
cyclone separators.
4. Returning and discharging the water to the same dredge pool for
reuse.
5. Make up water is provided by ground water infiltrating into the
dredge pool.
From our review of the above process, we are not certain that the
provisions of 15 NCAC 2H.0200 are applicable and a permit is required.
Please review the application package and provide us with your
determination as to what, if any, regulations govern the process. If you
find that a Non -Discharge Permit is required, please process the enclosed
application accordingly
If you have any questions concerning the above, please contact me at

Karled Mine, Bracketts Township, McDowell County""VIITS&
Process Description
The process is designed to mine sand, gravel and gold by a dredge type
operation as shown on Westinghouse drawing 4114-89-404-01, "Process Flow
Diagram" and as described in Little & Little drawing "Phased Mining &
Reclamation Plan" sheets 1 through 3.
Gravel and sand are removed from the mining area by dredge and pumped
through a 6-inch line to the stockpile area. The water flow rate used to
convey the gravel and sand is approximately 1600 gpm. At the stockpile
area, screens remove and sort the gravel into several stockpiles. After
the screens, the flow proceeds to cyclone type separators which remove
sand and trace quantities of gold. The water, less a small lost in the
removal operation, is returned to the dredge pool for reuse. The water
will contain fine particles not removed by the screens or separators. The
fines will eventually settle out in the dredge pool. Since the water
level in the dredge pool will be below the ground water level, ground
water will flow into the dredge pool. 'This provides the source of water
and make-up water for the process.

Westinghouse Environmental and Geotechnical Services, Inc. was originally
retained by Narex Ore Search Consultants to prepare and submit a Non -Discharge
Permit Application for the referenced facility. Permit No. WQ0001364 was issued
on May 15, 1989 for the construction' and operation of the wastewater collection
system.
During construction the plans were modified to include a sedimentation pond
to remove soil particles from the wastewater prior to returning it to the dredge
Pool. No other changes were made to the approved construction plans and
specifications, therefore, the system will still operate as a wastewater
recycling system.
From our review of the modification to the recycling system, we are not
certain that provisions of 15 NCAC 2H.0200 require a new or amended permit.
Please review the modification and provide us with your determination.
Please contact me, if you have any questions concerning this modification.
