Box 99 Spruce Pine, NC 28777 RE: Recirculation System Evaluation Proposed Bear Creek Plant Modifications Existing Permit No. WQ0003699 SR-1197 (Bear Creek Road) Mitchell County, NC Dear Mr. Thomas: Engineering & Environmental Science Company (E2S) has completed the evaluation of the proposed recirculation system modifications (Permit No. WQ0003699) at the Bear Creek Plant. This report contains a discussion of the system modifications, wastewater characteristics and other pertinent information. Submitted with this report are the "Plans and Specifications." Following is a brief discussion of the project. To increase the production of the plant facility, the existing sediment ponds will be replaced with two larger basins. No other modifications to the recirculation system are anticipated, except for the new pipeline and pumps to convey the water at a rate of 1500 gallons per minute. Each of the two new ponds will have a capacity of a least 1,195,154 gallons. The ponds will be cons-tructed -on- an approximately 8 to 10 percent slope with the base of the pond at least Oft above the groundwater table. The ponds will contain no more than 8ft of water depth and will have a 2ft thick soil liner having a coefficient of permeability slower than 1x10-6 cm/sec. Maximum embankment height will not exceed 14ft. An upslope interceptor ditch designed for the 50-year rain has been provided to prevent runoff in to the ponds during precipitation. No groundwater monitoring during the operation of these ponds is planned at this time. No monitoring at the existing ponds is required. However, some of the recently installed piezometers can be converted to permanent monitoring wells if needed. We appreciate serving you on this project. Please contact us, if you have any questions about these evaluations. Sincerely, �. Patrick i11ingto�, P. �.

The plant facility is located northwest of Spruce Pine, North Carolina in Mitchell County (see Attachment A). The plant process is to recover mica, sand and clay materials. The sand and mica are collected at the plant and the clay is collected at a series of existing ponds (basins). To increase production at this facility, the water usage will increase from 18,0.00 gallons per day to a maximum of 900,000 gallons per day. Two new ponds will be constructed each with a minimum capacity of 1,195,154 gallons. Once these basins are in operation, the existing ponds will not be used for the recirculation system.. The ponds will have a clay soil liner two feet thick and the base of the ponds will be established about 4ft above the groundwater table. The proposed new recirculation system will also include two 8"x6" Denver -Solo SRL-C pumps capable of flow rates of 1,500 gallons per minute. The water will be conveyed from the plant to the ponds through an 8-inch P.E. pipe and from the ponds to the plant through a 6-inch P.E. pipe. Various valves will be required with this system. 2.0 Waste Water Characteristics After the wastewater has passed through the plant system it will primarily consist of clay sediment. Sulfiric acid and Econofloat A-50, A-55 and A-60 which contains about 30 to 40 percent C-4 to C-10 Alcohols (see Attachment B) are added to the plant process to cause flotation of the mica. However, these materials are only added sufficiently for---.th-e-separation process and generally are not present after usage in the plant as residual concentrations will impact the recirculated water effectiveness to separate the mica. No analytical test data is available as none has been required for this existing recirculation system. 3.0. Pump & Pipe Line Evaluation The plant facility is about 23ft lower that the top of the proposed pond embankment. To have at least a flow of 1500 62S Page 2 Zemex Corp. gallons per minute, two pumps will be - -required. One pump at the plant to convey the water to the ponds and one pump at the ponds to convey the water to the plant. The pipeline will be 8 inches in diameter for the conveyance of water to the ponds and will be 6 inches in diameter to convey the water to the plant. Based on the evaluation in Attachment C, the line will be Driscopipe with a SR19 thickness for the 8 inch pipe and SR11 thickness for the 6 inch pipe. The pumps will be 8"x6"x18" Denver -Solo SRL-C slurry pumps with a revolution per minute of 1200. Valves will be provided downstream of the pumps to manually control the flow rates. 4.0 Upslope Interceptor Ditch Evaluation The rational design method (see Attachment D) was used to determine the maximum flow rate for the 50-year rain event of the upslope watershed at two locations on the ditch. The ground cover of the watershed was assumed wooded as it presently exists. The ditch capacity was passed on tall grasses present. The depth of the ditch below the downslope embankment will vary from 2.5ft to 4.5ft deep. The need for temporary stabilization of the ditch and actual discharge point for the ditch is to be determined by Zemex Corporation when they modify their active erosion control plan. 5.0 Subsurface Evaluation A total of seven soil borings were conducted with a drill rig and five test pits were conducted with a track hoe. Four of the soil borings were converted to temporary piezometers with water levels measured 24 hours after drilling. The soil borings were advanced using hollow -stem auger drilling procedures, with subsurface materials sampled at select intervals using a split -spoon sampler. These samples were obtained in accordance with the Standard Method for Penetration Test and Split -Barrel Sampling of Soils (ASTM D- 1586). The borings were located at the approximate locations as indicated on Sheet 1 of -the -accompanying -plans...- _ Representative soil samples from each boring were sealed in plastic bags and were returned to E2S's laboratory, where a Geotechnical Engineer inspected and visually classified the samples in accordance with the Unified Soil Classification 62S Page 3 Zemex Corp System. Laboratory testing was performed on representative soil samples to confirm their visual classifications and to provide general index properties. Soil strength properties of cohesive soils were also estimated in the laboratory using a calibrated penetrometer. One permeability test was conducted on a remolded soil -sample.-The--soil" boring and test pit logs and soil tests are provided in Attachment E. The following evaluations and recommendations are based on our understanding of the project characteristics and on our evaluation of the general subsurface conditions indicated by the borings. Should the project characteristics change significantly or should significantly different subsurface conditions be encountered during construction, some of the recommendations presented may no longer be valid. In such cases, E 2 S should be further consulted. 5.1 Subsurface Conditions Iri accordance with the "Geologic Map of North Carolina," the site lies within the Alligator Back formation of the Blue Ridge Belt. Locally, muscovite -biotic gneiss, amphibolite and quartz diovite to grandiovite bedrock can be present. In accordance with the partially completed "USDA soil survey of Mitchell County, disturbed soils are predominate at the proposed pond locations. Upslope of the ponds are the Evard- Cowce soil complex. Typically at mid to lower slope portions, Saunock soils are present. These soils typically have a seasonally high water table of greater than 6 feet. At the borings and test pits, approximately 6 inches of topsoil and rootmat were encountered at groundsurface. At the upslope borings and test pits the soils to a depth of 7ft to 14ft below ground surface consisted of a CL to MH soil type. Below these depths, the soils were predominantly "ML" soil types with the presence of high mica content. The following table summarizes the analytical test results: 62S Page 4 Zemex Corp.

Auger cuttings collected from Oft. to 7£t. below groundsurface for sample representation. Upslope of the proposed ponds groundwater was about 14ft to 19ft below groundsurface. Downslope of the proposed ponds, the groundwater level was 1.5ft to 2.5ft below ground surface. The following table summarizes the groundwater levels.

Using the less pervious MH soil types, the coefficient of permeability is 8.1x10-7 cm/sec, when compacted to 94.70 of standard Proctor maximum dry density (ASTM-D-698). The more plastic CL soil types would be expected to have a slower coefficient of permeability. To ensure adequate permeability in the field, the suitable soil types should be computed to at least 95 percent. Because the ponds will be periodically cleaned of sediments, the liner should be at least 2ft thick. 62S Page 5 Z—X Corp. 5.3 Foundation Settlement Subsurface materials below the 14ft high (maximum) embankment, consists of approximately 10 feet of ML soils, underlain by a partly -weathered rock. The analyses shown in Attachment F indicate that maximum settlement between the dam crest and toe would be less than 1.6 inches, with total settlement not exceeding 1.8 inches. 5.4 Embankment Stability Slope stability analyses downstream and upstream provided in Attachment F. were performed on the highest portions of the embankments as For the upstream embankment formed by cut, the factor of safety was determined using limited equilibrium theory. The factor of safety of the 22ft. high cut will be at least 1.8. For the downstream embankment formed primarily by fill, the stability factor of the embankment against sliding on the approximately 10 percent existing slope was estimated at greater than 2.3. These factors of safety are considered suitable for the proposed ponds. 62s ATTACHMENT A: FIGURES - - - - - - - 62$ ■ . 1 C N G j 300 I` TSCS SPRUCE PINE QUADRANGLE YAP VA 8 �X-Wffl jrcl No SITE ENGINEERING at ENVIRONMENTAL 2 SCIENCE COMPANY 3008 ITE ANDERSON OR- Sum 102 RALEIGH.

This is calculated by dividing the tensile force in the pipe by the frictional resistance of the soil (ie: 781.3 lbs. - 6.363 lbs./in. _ 122.8 Inches) Theoretical Movement of Unrestrained Ends: AL = L•s AL = (122.8 ins.)(.0024 in./in.) = .295 in. Design of Collar: By sidewall fusing branch saddles capable of taking the shear force onto the pipe near the terminal connection, and then pouring a square concrete collar around the pipe and branch saddles into undisturbed soil, the tensile force of 781.3 lbs. is removed from the pipe connection and is evenly distributed into the soil. Assume a collar 12 inches square and 6 inches wide is used. Area of Collar = (12" x 12") — (Cross Sectional Area of Pipe) A = (144 — 16) sq. in. A = 128 sq. in. surface area Compressive Stress on soil due to load transfer by collar face: S = F--A S = 71.3 lbs. --128 sq. in. = 6.1 psi EXAMPLE DESIGN SUMMARY Under a 20°F instantaneous temperature change, a 4" SDR 15.5 pipeline 1000 ft. long buried five feet deep will try to change length .295" at each end. The pipe is restrained by soil friction from further contraction. A concrete collar with a square face of 12" x 12" will absorb the tensile force of 781.3 lbs. due to thermal contraction, and distribute it into the soil at a compressive soil stress of 6.1 psi. Circumferential coefficient of expansion is 0.6 x 10-4 in/in/°F. Chart 16 Driscopipe Pressure Rating (psi) vs. Temperature (°F) Hoop Pipe SDR - Temp.

For grass -lined channels once the appropriate channel dimensions have been selected for low retardance conditions, repeat steps 6 through 8 using a higher retardance class, corresponding to tall grass. Adjust capacity of the channel by varying depth where site conditions permit. NOTE 1: If design velocity is greater than 2.0 ftjsec., a temporary lining may be required to stabilize the channel until vegetation is established. The temporary liner may be designed for peak flow from the 2-yr storm. If a channel requires temporary lining, the designer should analyze shear stresses in the channel to select the liner that provides protection and promotes establishment of vegetation. For the design of temporary liners, use tractive force procedure. NOTE 2: Design Tables —Vegetated Channels and Diversions at the end of this section may be used to design grass -lined channels with parabolic cross -sections. Step 11. Check outlet for carrying capacity and stability. If discharge velocities exceed allowable velocities for the receiving stream, an outlet protection struc- ture will be required (Table 8.05d, pg. 8.05.9). Sample Problem 8.05a illustrates the design of a grass -lined channel. -.-MENIMMEN W� 010110 oil Longer t—hm 30" .. than 2" 0111206. n 111...
