Subject: Alcoa stormwater permit -Please do NOT extend it!
Dear Ms. Rodriguez,
As someone who loves and was educated in NC,
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 could 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.
Please, do not allow more cyanide into the
creek!
Sincerely,
Rebecca
