Dear Ms. Rodriguez,
Stop Alcoa from Discharging Cyanide into Our Waters NOW!
I am writing to to ask that NCDENR deny Alcoa's application for a stormwater permit(#NC0004308)to discharge cyanide
contaminated groundwater into Badin Lake and Little Mountain Creek. NCDENR should require Alcoa to clean up this old,
leaking landfill-not permit discharges of hazardous chemicals into an already impaired stream. The permit as written does not
satisfy the Clean Water Act and should be denied or modified to protect Little Mountain Creek from ongoing contamination.
No more cyanide in Little Mountain Creek!
Sincerely,
Erica Lyons

Erica --
For years,Alcoa's old leaking, unlined landfill at Badin Aluminum Works has
been leaching hundreds of pounds of cyanide per year into Little Mountain
Creek and Badin Lake. Now, instead of requiring Alcoa to clean up their mess,
NCDENR wants to give them a permit with no cyanide limits for three years.
We need you to tell NCDENR to stop letting Alcoa dump hazardous
substances into a Yadkin River tributary!
Call to action: Tell NCDENR to stop the discharge of cyanide into Little
Mountain Creek-email Teresa.rodriguez©ncdenr.gov by Friday, June 26 at
