Dear Mr. Ferguson:
Division personnel have reviewed and approved your application for renewal of the
subject permit. Accordingly, we are forwarding the attached NPDES discharge permit. This
permit is issued pursuant to the requirements of North Carolina General Statute 143 -215.1 and
the Memorandum of Agreement between North Carolina and the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency dated October 15, 2007 (or as subsequently amended).
The permit authorizes Unimin Corporation to discharge up to 3.6 MGD of treated
process wastewater from Quartz /Feldspar Facility to the North Toe River, a class C -Trout water
in the French Broad River Basin. The final permit includes discharge requirements and /or
limitations for flow, total fluoride, total suspended solids, turbidity, chlorides and other
parameters.
The receiving stream, North Toe River, is listed as an impaired waterbody on the North
Carolina 303(d) Impaired Waters List. Addressing impaired waters is a high priority with the
Division, and instream data will continue to be evaluated. If there is noncompliance with
permitted effluent limits and stream impairment can be attributed to your facility, then
mitigative measures may be required.
The following modifications remain in the final permit:
The facility address has been updated to 7638 South 226 Highway, Spruce Pine,
NC.

Unimin Corporation — Crystal (NC0084620), Quartz /Feldspar (NC0000175)
Red Hill (NC0085839), and Schoolhouse Quartz (NC0000361)
Dear Ms. Nowell:-
Please note the following comments for Draft NPDES Permits issued to Ummin
Corporation on March 14, 2012.
First, regarding Unimin Corporation — Crystal Facility NPDES Permit No.
NC0084620, on page 3 below the Effluent Limitations and Monitoring Requirements Table,
Note 1 Sample Locations should read "...0 -at least 50 feet upstream of outfall, D-at least
300 feet downstream of outf W' Please include the phrases "at least" in front of upstream
and downstream sample distances from outf dl. Additionally, the second paragraph on Page
6 "Additionally, Unimin Corporation must provide and install an additional effluent pump
station prior to initiating direct discharge to the North Toe Rive" should be removed. This
statement was included in the 1998 permit and was removed in the 2004 permit due to
showing the gravity drain did not require this pump. Since that time an Authorization to
Construct was 4,r— y :,1 and the discharge was relocated utilizing entirely different piping,
pumps, etc. dis to a completely new location well upstream in the N. Toe River.
Secondly, regarding Unimin Corporation — Quartz /Feldspar Facility NPDES No
NCO000175 and Red Hill Facility NPDES No. NC0085839, no changes are requested.
Finally, regarding Unimin Corporation — Schoolhouse Quartz Facility NPDES No.
NC0000361, the Supplement to Permit Cover Sheet should change "Disk Filter" to plural
noting the Authorization to Construct dated June 30, 2010 (A to C No. 00361A01) to install
a new disc vacuum filter with associated filtrate pump, vacuum pump and blower. The
Engineer's Certification submitted for this project was signed dateJ Feb. 1, 2011.

SUMMARY OF FACILITY INFORMATION AND WASTELOAD ALLOCATION
Unimin Corporation is requesting a permit renewal for its Quartz Feldspar facility. The Quartz
Feldspar facility does mining, milling, and separation of Alaskite ore to produce quartz,
feldspar, and mica. In May 2005, the plant announced its plans to reopen the high purity quartz
processing operations in the Quartz Feldspar plant. This process had been shut down since
1998 and only produced feldspar products.
The facility is permitted to discharge treated process wastewater through Outfall 001 into the
North Toe River, class C -Trout waters, in French Broad River Basin. Stormwater discharge will
now be covered under an individual stormwater permit and no longer incorporated into the
NPDES wastewater permit.
One factor is the discharge of fluoride from the quartz and feldspar mines in the North Toe
River. The allowable Fl loading on the North Toe River, above the confluence of the South Toe
River, has been allocated out between five mines (Unimin's Quartz, Schoolhouse and Crystal
facilities and the K -T Feldpar and Feldspar Corporations). The total pounds per day of fluoride
allocated are 574 and were allocated when the mines were initially permitted in NC in the 19t9�
1 The goal is to protect water quality while allowing some flexibility for the dischargers
to maintain compliance. The fluoride allocation for each mine on the North Toe River will be
renewed as in previous years since all facilities have been in compliance with the existing
fluoride limits and there have been no chronic violations of the fluoride standard instream.
The limits for the renewal permit are as follows:

Total Fluoride 109 lbs /day 218 Ibs/day
Settleable Solids Daily monitoring
Turbidity Daily monitoring
Chloride Qrtrly monitoring
pH 6-10 SU
Chronic Toxicity 11.00/0
The facility requested two modifications since the issuance of the permit in 2006. The first
modification was in 2008 for removal of limits for heptachlor and lindane. After an evaluation
of the data in 2008, DWQ removed the heptachlor limit but maintained quarterly monitoring
for lindane. Unimin requested removal of lindane monitoring in 2010. Previous data showed
the facility discharging the pesticide although there was no usage onsite. The pesticide had
been banned for many years and Unimin felt it was a product of upstream tree farms and was
present in the intake water. A review of twelve months of data showed no detection, therefore
lindane monitoring was removed in 2010.
RECEIVING STREAM INFORMATION:
This segment of the North Toe River is listed on North Carolina's 2010- 303(d) impaired streams
for turbidity and ecological/biological integrity benthos. The impaired North Toe River
segment is from Grassy Creek to the South Toe River. Data from DWQ's ambient monitoring
station, North Toe River at SR1162 at Penland (data from Jan 2004 through Dec 2008), exceeded
the NC standard for turbidity in 36.5% of the samples collected during the assessment period.
From the 2008 factsheet, "the ambient site receives runoff from the Town of Spruce Pine and
several dischargers in the watershed which may have impacted the benthic community. There
may also be impact by road construction activities with the expansion of NC 19 from Burnsville
to Spruce Pine ".
There has been consultation with ARO staff regarding the turbidity impairment and the
contribution of the mines. Currently DWQ is working with stakeholders to form the North Toe
River Watershed Group to reduce turbidity in the watershed and restore the North Toe River.
A description of the watershed effort detailed in the French Broad River Basin Plan is detailed
below:
North Toe River Watershed Effort
The portion of the North Toe Watershed that is the focus of this watershed effort lies in Avery and
Mitchell counties. The area extends from the headwaters of the North Toe River downstream to its
confluence with Big Crabtree Creek (just a short distance upstream from North Toe and South Toe rivers
confluence). North Toe River is currently not supporting its uses due to turbidity and copper water
quality standard violations.
A collection of different entities interested in restoring water quality in North Toe Watershed has started
meeting and strategizing how this restoration will occur. Interested parties include the US Fish and
Wildlife Service, the Blue Ridge Resource Conservation District — part of US Department of Agriculture
— Natural Resources Conservation Service, the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural
Resources — Division of Water Quality and Wildlife Resources Commission, the Toe River Valley Watch,
Imerys and Unimin mining companies, Avery and Mitchell county soil and water conservation districts,
municipalities, Christmas tree owners and others.
I 'ni nin Corporation — Quartz Feldspar FacilitN Faetsheet
NPDI:S Renc % %al
Pace 2

The strategy to restore the watershed will include engaging stakeholders through education, meetings
and other outreach, assessing the watershed to better determine the causes and sources of the water
quality problems, developing a plan that not only identifies the problems, but proposes potential
solutions to the problems. These solutions will include parties responsible for solutions, a schedule of
when solutions will be implemented and resources needed to address problems.
As with any watershed restoration, this process will not be easy, but with many parties already showing
great interest in restoring North Toe River Watershed, this effort has great potential.
ARO staff indicates that the wastewater from the mines is not a substantial contribution to the
turbidity instream. Stormwater runoff is the primary factor not wastewater. Limiting turbidity
in the effluent would not change the problems instream based on the large stormwater
contribution to the North Toe River. Influences include stream bank erosion and road
construction. Mines are actively donating funds and doing stream bank restoration, canoe
launch sites, and improvements in erosion control. One mine in particular, KT Feldspar, is
working with NCDOT to get stormwater under control.
At this time, DWQ proposes no changes to the previously developed load allocations. There
will be no addition of effluent turbidity limits because no TMDL has been developed and no
allocation has been determined. However, DWQ will not allow any increase in the total
suspended solids loadings of any of the mines. Turbidity and total suspended solids have
some connection therefore DWQ will freeze current permitted TSS loadings in all the North
Toe River mines.
INSTREAM MONITORING:
Upstream: Upstream above the facility intake
Downstream: Downstream at Penland Bridge.
Parameters: Fluoride, Turbidity, pH
A review of 2008 through 2011 instream data showed no exceedences of the instream fluoride
standard downstream of the facility. The highest fluoride downstream monthly average was
1.52 mg/l in October 2008. In 2011, upstream fluoride averaged 0.50 mg/1 and downstream
averaged 0.51 mg/1. In 2010, upstream fluoride averaged 0.7 mg/1 and downstream averaged
0.6 mg/1. In 2009, upstream fluoride averaged 0.4 mg/1 and downstream averaged 0.4 mg/l. In
2008, upstream fluoride averaged 0.82 mg/l and downstream averaged 1.04 mg/l.
Numerous upstream and downstream turbidity samples exceeded the standard in 2008, 2009,
2010 and 2011. In all instances, if the upstream turbidity exceeded the standard, the
corresponding downstream turbidity also exceeded the standard. In most instances the
upstream and downstream values were nearly the same so it did not appear that the discharger
was contributing much to the impairment. In 2011, upstream turbidity averaged 14.9 NTU
and downstream averaged 13.1 NTU. In 2010, upstream turbidity averaged 10.8 NTU and
downstream averaged 9.3 NTU. In 2009, upstream turbidity averaged 10.0 NTU and

T07QC= TEST RESULTS:
Quarterly Chronic P /F, 11 % Ceriodaphnia test (JAN APR JUL OC17)
Unimin Corporation — (Quartz Feldspar Facilite Fact,heet
NPDFS Kene%kal
Page 3

From January 2007 thro October 2011, the facility had 24 toxicity tests. There was one invalid
test in April 2009 followed by a PASS. There were two late tests in January and February 2010
followed by two PASSes. In July and August 2010, there were two FAILS of the tox test. These
failures were followed by two passes. The facility has passed all tox tests in 2011
Recommendation: Renewal of quarterly chronic test @ 11%
COMPLIANCE REVIEW:
Overall, facility has been in compliance with all permit limits since issuance of 2006 permit.
There were minor exceedances of pH in 2007 and 2011_
PROPOSED CHANGES:
• The facility address has been updated to 7638 South 226 Highway, Spruce Pine,
NC.
• Oil and grease monitoring will no longer be required based on the results of
submitted data.
• The turbidity footnote on the effluent page has minor language clarification.
• The monitoring frequency for total fluoride, total suspended solids, turbidity,
settleable solids and pH has been reduced to weekly.
• The removal of language on the permit cover page regarding the discharge of
stormwater.
• The removal of language on the supplement to cover permit page regarding the
discharge of mine dewatering effluent and stormwater. The Quartz/Feldspar
Facility will be issued an individual stormwater permit to address stormwater
management and monitoring. In addition, the entire section (Part H in the
previous permit) regarding stormwater monitoring, controls and limitations for
permitted discharges has also been removed from the permit
• Minor language has been modified in condition A. 2. Chronic Toxicity Permit
Limit. In addition, a new paragraph regarding data submittal has been added
(second paragraph from the end of the condition).
All other vermit limits will remain the same.
PROPOSED SCHEDULE FOR PERMIT ISSUANCE:
Draft Permit to Public Notice: 03/14/2012
Permit Scheduled to Issue: XXXXXXXXX
Projected Effective Date of Permit: XXXXXXXXX

Dear Mr. Ferguson:
Division of Water Quality
Coleen H. Sullins
Director
Dee Freeman
Secretary
This letter is to inform you of certain permit changes related to stormwater management on the following
facilities:
NC0000175- Unimin Quartz NC0000361- Unimin Schoolhouse Quartz
NC0084620- Unimin Crystal NC0085839- Unimin Red Hill
The wastewater discharge permits associated with the above facilities, currently in the renewal process,
will no longer include stormwater management elements. Stormwater management requirements will be
addressed through NCG020000 Industrial Stormwater permitting.
This permitting modification should provide more efficient permitting, increased stormwater
management awareness and enhance program effectiveness.
Please see to the completion of a Notice of Intent (NOI) for each facility as soon as possible. The NOI
may be found here: httn:HDortal.ncdenr.ore /web /wo /ws /su/nDdessw#tab -3. Current site practices and
procedures meeting the existing permit conditions should be continued until the NCG02 Certificates of
Coverage have been delivered.
Thank you for your cooperation in this matter and please contact me with any questions you might have
at 828 - 296 -4664 or Chuck.Cranfordnncdenr.srov.

Subject: Aquatic Toxicology Data Summary for August 2010 Compliance
Attached is the current summary of self - monitoring toxicity test results received as of, today,
October 15, 2010, for August compliance, as well as Aquatic Toxicology Unit tests performed
performed during the month of August 2010.
If you have any toxicity testing needs, please contact Chris Ventaloro at (919) 743 -8443. As you
and your staff review this data, please make note of any facilities that you feel need to be
evaluated through the abilities of this program, including acute or chronic toxicity testing,
assistance with permit toxicity limitation development, or evaluation of compliance status with
toxicity limits. We rely heavily on input from both regional and central office personnel and
welcome any suggestions you have.
Also attached is a list of those facilities that appear to need some intervention by the regions due
to failure to meet limits imposed or failure to report a required monitoring event. We have
attempted to incorporate all of the comments received to either add or remove facilities from this
list as appropriate. Please keep in mind that the case of each facility should be considered on its
own merit before actions are taken based on these lists. If you are aware of any pertinent
permitting or compliance information not addressed by this document, please provide us with
comments.

In support of this request, Unimin Corporation herein avers:
A. The production of high purity quartz is a highly competitive industry in which
market position is very much dependent on possession of the latest technology and
process development.
B. The processes and technology associated with Unimin.'s production of high purity
quartz have been consistently treated by Unimin in its operating policies, procedures
and practices as proprietary and confidential trade secrets.
C. Unimin believes that such processes and technology are in its sole possession and
are not generally available to Unimin's competitors or the public.
D. Such confidential processes and technology which have been developed at great
time and expense to Unimin are the property of Unimin and represent a great value
and competitive advantage to its market position and are an integral part of
Unimin's continuous quartz production operation.
E. The unprotected divulgence of such confidential information would result in an
irreparable harm to the competitive position of Unimin Corporation in this market.
In addition, Unimin Corporation would like to request the following
revisions /corrections to each NPDES Permit
During the most recent amendment to the Crystal NPDES Permit No. NC0084620,
the upstream /downstream sampling locations were inadvertently changed to "U- upstream at
Altapass Road" and "D- downstream at the footbridge in the Town of Spruce Pine."
Unimin would like to request that this be changed back to "U- upstream at least 50 feet" and
"D- downstream at least 300 feet" Also, Unimin would like to request that the pH be
sampled at the effluent only and remove the unnecessary requirement to sample upstream
and downstream daily.
Unimin would like to request that the requirements to sample Gil and Grease be
removed from both Quartz /Feldspar NPDES Permit No. NC0000175 and Schoolhouse
NPDES Permit No, NC0000361. There have been no hits at either facility, and this
monitoring requirement was imposed due to stating that there are possible leaks and drips
from mobile equipment as all facilities have. Unimin does not believe Oil and Grease to be
present at the discharge and would like to request that this monitoring requirement be
removed from both permits.
Unimin would like to request that the requirement to sample ammonia monthly be
removed from the Red Hill NPDES Permit No. NCO085839 as the facility no longer utilizes
ammonia in any process or research.

PART C - If you are a primary industry and this outfall contains process wastewater, refer to Table 2c -2 in the instructions to determine which of the GC /MS fractions you must test for. Mark "X" in column 2 -a for all such GC/MS
fractions that apply to your industry and for ALL toxic metals, cyanides, and total phenols. If you are not required to mark column 2 -a (secondary industries, nonprocess wastewater outfalls, and non - required GCIMMS
fractions), mark "X" in column 2 -b for each pollutant you know or have reason to believe is present. Mark "X" in column 2 -c for each pollutant you believe is absent. If you mark column 2a for any pollutant, you must
provide the results of at least one analysis for that pollutant. If you mark column 2b for any pollutant, you must provide the results of at least one analysis for that pollutant. If you know or have reason to believe it will be
discharged in concentrations of 10 ppb or greater. If you mark column 2b for acrolein, acrylonitrile, 2,4 dinitrophenol, or 2- methyl -4, 6 dinitrophenol, you must provide the results of at least one analysis for each of these
pollutants which you know or have reason to believe that you discharge in concentrations of 100 ppb or greater. Otherwise, for pollutants for which you mark column 2b, you must either submit at least one analysis or
briefly describe the reasons the pollutant is expected to be discharged. Note that there are 7 pages to this part; please review each carefully. Complete one table (all 7 pages) for each outfall. See instructions for
additional details and pg9�yf'rements.
