reviewer should consider in establishing permit limitations.Attach additional sheets as needed.
Samples in Section 4 reflect expected discharge quality;the samples were taken from the Pit Lake,not the outfall point.
Water quality of the discharge water contained within Pit Lake does not exceed Class C aquatic water standards(See
0 Engineering Alternative Analysis Attachment).The attached Kings Creek Stability and Water Quality Assessment
demonstrates that minor increases in flow due to the mine pit dewatering is not expected to adversely impact the
banks of Kings Creek,and is not expected increase flood or adversely effect elevations beyond the subject property
O lines.Based on the attached Engineering Alternatives Analysis,direct discharge to Kings Creek is deemed the most
environmentally sound alternative of the economically viable alternatives for dewatering Pit Lake.
The dewatering configuration under consideration is conveyance of pit water to the South Creek Reservoir prior to

7.1 Use the space below to expand upon any of the above items.Use this space to provide any information you believe the
reviewer should consider in establishing permit limitations.Attach additional sheets as needed.
Samples in Section 4 reflect expected discharge quality;the samples were taken from the Pit Lake,not the outfall point.
Water quality of the discharge water contained within Pit Lake does not exceed Class C aquatic water standards(See
Engineering Alternative Analysis Attachment).The attached Kings Creek Stability and Water Quality Assessment
demonstrates that minor increases in flow due to the mine pit dewatering is not expected to adversely impact the
banks of Kings Creek,and is not expected increase flood or adversely effect elevations beyond the subject property
lines.Based on the attached Engineering Alternatives Analysis,direct discharge to Kings Creek is deemed the most
environmentally sound alternative of the economically viable alternatives for dewatering Pit Lake.
The dewatering configuration under consideration is conveyance of pit water to the South Creek Reservoir prior to

Re: Pit Lake Water Quality Results, Kings Mountain Mine/SWCA Project No. 70316
INTRODUCTION
This memorandum is prepared in support of a NPDES application to document the water sampling events
and laboratory results that have occurred to date for the pit lake at the Albemarle Lithium Project
(Project)in Kings Mountain,North Carolina. The water quality results presented in this memorandum
were utilized in the NPDES application in Section 4 and represent the expected discharge quality.
SAMPLING EVENTS TO DATE
2018 Sample Collection
SRK Consulting(SRK)conducted a preliminary sampling event in November 2018. During that event
two pit lake samples were collected. The collected samples are described as:
• Sampled from middle of the pit lake by boat, 10 cm below surface;and
• Sampled from boat,near historic divide between two pit lake areas,recently overtopped as a
result of recent rains,forming one mixed pit lake.
A memorandum documenting the 2018 sampling event and results is included in Appendix A.
2022 Sample Collection
SWCA Environmental Consultants(SWCA)began the collection of baseline water quality data of the
Project pit lake in 2022; sample collection locations are displayed in Table 1 below.

PL-8 35°13'19.83"N 81°21'16.44"W Pit lake Southwestern third of lake
Quarterly Monitoring
SWCA collected water quality samples in the pit lake for the second quarter and third quarter of 2022.
Water quality samples for PL-2,PL-5,and PL-8 were collected at depths of 10 feet,50 feet,and 80 feet.
The deep pit lake sampling location was to the third quarter water quality sampling event;samples were
collected at 80 feet, 100 feet, 120 feet, 140 feet,and 160 feet.The water samples were processed by ACZ
Laboratories in Steamboat,Colorado.The third quarter water quality data is preliminary in nature. The
laboratory results are attached in Appendix A.
Field Parameters
SWCA collected field parameter readings for the pit lake in four separate sampling events. The field
parameters collected are temperature,pH,specific conductivity,and dissolved oxygen. Locations PL-2,
PL-5,and PL-8 were sampled in 5-foot intervals in-situ from total depth to surface.These three locations
were sampled in April 2022,May 2022,and September 2022.An additional pit lake sampling location,
PL-DEEP,was added in September 2022 to assess the water quality in the deepest portion of the pit lake.
PL-DEEP was sampled in 20-foot intervals using a flow-through cell.The field parameter results are
included in Appendix B.
Data Usage on Permit Application
The laboratory and field parameter results from the pit lake samples presented in Appendices A and B
were utilized to complete Section 4.Effluent Characteristics of the EPA Form 2E.

Subject: Kings Mountain Water Sampling Program
1 Introduction
SRK Consulting completed a preliminary sampling program to provide baseline water quality
information to support the PFS engineering study. Samantha Barnes from SRK Canada was on
site at the Albemarle facilities on November 21 St and 22nd, 2018.
The goal of the program was to collect water samples from water features across the historic
working areas, including pit lakes, natural lakes, streams, or ponded areas.A total of 8 surface
water samples were collected.
The following memorandum summarizes the data collected during the sampling program.
2 Sampling Program
2.1 Sample Locations
A total of 8 surface water samples were collected on site. Sample locations are presented as
green dots in Figure 1.
Three additional locations were visited, including GW Well#2 and Well#3, as well as the
Pegmatite 25 Pond. Samples were not collected at these locations due to issues with access or
equipment.

2.2 Sample Data
A YSI DSS water quality probe was used to measure in-situ water quality at each sample
location, including pH, electric conductivity(pS/cm), oxygen reduction potential (ORP, in mV),
and temperature (degrees Celsius). Sample coordinates were collected using a handheld Garmin
GPS and reflect metric UTM coordinates in Zone 17S.
Data collected at each location are presented in Table 1.
Sampling included collection of water in the following bottles for associated lab analysis:
• 1 x 500 mL bottle for wet chemistry
• 2 x 4L bottles and 1 x 1000 mL bottle for radiochemistry(total)
• 1 x 250 mL bottle for total metals
• 1 x 250 mL bottle for dissolved wet chemistry(filtering recommended)
• 1 x 250 mL bottle for COD, TOC, Phenols and total wet chemistry
Insufficient 4L jugs were provided to collect the radiochemistry samples for all locations. Samples
KM_SW_01 through KM_SW_06 included the two 4L bottles for radiochemistry, while
KM_SW_07 and KM_SW_08 do not include the 4L bottles, as denoted by the grey hatch in Table
1.
Filtering of samples for dissolved wet chemistry bottles was achieved using a syringe and 0.45
pm filter. Filters were depleted after sampling KM_SW_01 through KM_SW_04, as denoted by
the blue hatch cells in Table 1. All other sample locations did not receive filtering for the dissolved
wet chemistry bottles.

2.3 Additional Sampling Attempts
2.3.1 Groundwater Wells
Malfunction of the Geotech bladder pump resulted in inability to sample from GW Wells#2 and
#3. Depths to water were measured to be 31.4 ft and 14.1 ft, for GW#2 and GW#3 respectively.
2.3.2 Waterbodies
Access to the Pegmatite 25 Pond included two sets of old steel staircases, which had not been
maintained. Sampling of the pond was deemed unsafe due to the steep pit walls and old
staircases. No sample was collected.
The property boundary at the time of the site visit limited sampling on the south side of Highway
85 to the two sites. Nearby waterbodies noted from aerial imagery were not within the boundary
area and were therefore not sampled.
3 Summary
A total of eight surface water samples were collected over a two day period on site in November
2018.
Future investigations should also target groundwater wells to evaluate baseline water quality in
the groundwater.
