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 nonrequired GC/MS
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 requirements.

•
• RE: The Quartz Corp USA
• Sludge Management Plan: NC0000400
•
• The Quartz Corp USA produces mineral tailings (sludge) at its wastewater facility located at the "KT
• Feldspar Plant" 8342 South 226 Bypass, Spruce Pine, NC 28777. These mineral tailings are disposed of
as follows:
•
• All wastewater from the facility is pumped to a sand screw (mechanical separation). The sand that is
• taken out at the screw is piled outside beneath the screw at a staging area. Tailings are moved to the
Pine Mountain Mine Tailings disposal area by dump bed trucks on company-owned road.
•
• After the sand screw, the remaining water and solids are pumped to the facility settling pond system.
• These ponds are periodically dredged to remove build-up of mineral solids. The dredged material is piled
in staging areas located near the ponds then moved to the Pine Mountain Mine Tailings disposal area by
• dump bed trucks.
• Historically, the facility has allowed disposal of tailings as fill material. Sites are chosen that will enhance
• the value of real property by filling and not present problems through the loss of materials to surface
• waters by erosion. Stream buffers are observed (25' min.) and wetlands and seeps are avoided. Sites
• are planned and approved by ensuring that the site has submitted a soil and erosion control plan
• through NCDENR Land Quality, which explains the land disturbance activities and also gives details on
how stormwater runoff will be handled, how sediment loss will be controlled and how final reclamation
• of the site will be performed. Landowner agreements must be signed to assure future preservation of
• the sites. Going forward Quartz will apply for mine permits for the disposal of mine refuse (tailing)
• rather than a simple storm and erosion plan.
• These tailings can be used in the reclamation of the mine site. Occasionally, the tailings can be sold as a
• raw material to Ceramics companies.
• Should you have any questions on this policy, please contact me at 828-467-1537 or at
• [e-mail]

Sincerely,
