The DMRs up through (and including) November 2011 should be submitted as usual. Be advised that if and when any wastewater discharge occurs, the discharge must be monitored as per the terms of the NPDES permit and other applicable rules or statutes.

Stalite, the light weight aggregate produce, has temporarily stopped processing at the Aquadale Quarry location due to the economy. They are no longer burning or processing light weight aggregate. Aqudale Quarry will continue to process raw material and comply with our NPDES permit NCG070006. When light weight production resumes we will then operate under and comply with NPDES permit NC0028169 and resume DMR submittals according to the permit requirements.
