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 The Feldspar Corporation to discharge up to 3.5 MGD of treated wastewater from Spruce Pine 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 in the draft permit of March 14,2012,remain in the final permit. • The facility owner was changed to The Quartz Corp USA. 1617 Mail Service Center,Raleigh,North Carolina 27699-1617 Location:512 N.Salisbury St.Raleigh,North Carolina 27604 Phone:919-807-63001 FAX:919-807-6492\Customer Service:1-877-623-6748 Internet www.ncwaterouality.orq One An Equal Opportunity\Affirmative Action Employer North Caro lin a Naturail; • Ms.Dortch April 30,2012 Page 2 of 3 • The upstream sampling location was changed to Feldspar's low water bridge, approximately 200 yards upstream of outfall 001. • The monitoring frequency for total fluoride,total suspended solids,turbidity, settleable solids and pH was reduced to weekly. • The turbidity footnote on the effluent page has minor language clarification. • Language on the supplement to cover permit page regarding cooling water outfalls 002 and 003 was removed. Two effluent pages referencing outfalls 002 and 003 were deleted from the permit. Feldspar Corporation indicated that noncontact cooling water is reused in the process and no longer discharged. • Language on the supplement to cover permit page regarding the discharge of stormwater was removed. • Upstream and downstream monitoring for total suspended solids was added based on the impairment of the North Toe River for turbidity and the permitted load of total suspended solids discharged by the facility. • Minor language was modified in condition A.2.Chronic Toxicity Permit Limit and a new paragraph regarding data submittal was added(the second paragraph from the end of the condition). • The entire section(Part II in the previous permit)regarding stormwater monitoring, controls and limitations for permitted discharges was removed from the permit. The Feldspar Corporation will be issued an individual stormwater permit for stormwater management. If any parts,measurement frequencies or sampling requirements contained in this permit are unacceptable to you,you have the right to an adjudicatory hearing upon written request within thirty(30) days following receipt of this letter. This request must be in the form of a written petition,conforming to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes,and filed with the Office of Administrative Hearings,6714 Mail Service Center,Raleigh,North Carolina 27699-6714. Unless such a demand is made,this permit shall be final and binding. Please take notice that this permit is not transferable. The Division may require modification or revocation and reissuance of the permit.

There shall be no discharge of floating solids or visible foam in other than trace amounts. Permit Number: NC0000353 A.(2). CHRONIC TOXICITY PERMIT LIMIT(QRTRLY) The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit observable inhibition of reproduction or significant mortality to Ceriodaphnia dubia at an effluent concentration of 11%. The permit holder shall perform at a minimum,quarterly monitoring using test procedures outlined in the"North Carolina Ceriodaphnia Chronic Effluent Bioassay Procedure,"Revised February 1998,or subsequent versions or "North Carolina Phase II Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure"(Revised-February 1998)or subsequent versions.The tests will be performed during the months of January,April,July and October. Effluent sampling for this testing shall be performed at the NPDES permitted fmal effluent discharge below all treatment processes. If the test procedure performed as the first test of any single quarter results in a failure or ChV below the permit limit,then multiple-concentration testing shall be performed at a minimum,in each of the two following months as described in"North Carolina Phase II Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure" (Revised-February 1998)or subsequent versions. The chronic value for multiple concentration tests will be determined using the geometric mean of the highest concentration having no detectable impairment of reproduction or survival and the lowest concentration that does have a detectable impairment of reproduction or survival. The definition of"detectable impairment,"collection methods,exposure regimes,and further statistical methods are specified in the"North Carolina Phase II Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure"(Revised-February 1998)or subsequent versions. All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit condition will be entered on the Effluent Discharge Monitoring Form(MR-1)for the months in which tests were performed.If reporting pass/fail results using the parameter code TGP3B,DWQ Form AT-1 (original)is sent to the below address.

The facility produces feldspar, quartz and mica. The facility is permitted to discharge into the North Toe River, class C-Trout waters, in French Broad River Basin. Feldspar's outfall 001 discharges the treated process water. Previous outfalls 002 and 003 which discharged cooling water are no longer used by the company. Effective June, 1, 2011, the Unimin Corp.-Crystal Plant (NC0084620) effluent discharge which had discharged through the Feldspar Corporation WWTP ceased their wastewater treatment agreement with Feldspar. The Unimin Crystal Plant began discharging treated process wastewater directly to the North Toe River, via a pump station and outfall effluent pipe. This modification caused a reduction in the fluoride limit for the Feldspar Corporation as previously designated in both permits. 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 1986. 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 modified limits for the renewal permit are as follows: Pollutant Mo. Avg. Da. Max.

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 SR 1162 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 follows: 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. 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 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. The Feldspar Corporation Factsheet NPDES Renewal Page INSTREAM MONITORING: Upstream: Station #56 / Upstream at the Altapass Road highway bridge Downstream: Station #59 / Downstream at the footbridge in Spruce Pine. Parameters: Fluoride,Turbidity, pH, Feldspar has requested that the existing upstream sampling site be modified since the Unimin Crystal plant now discharges upstream of outfall 001. The new upstream site for the Feldspar Corporation will be at Feldspar's low water bridge, 200 yards upstream of Outfall 001. A review of summer and winter instream data shows that fluoride and pH standards are being protected downstream of the Feldspar discharge. Instream Fl values are typically <0.5 mg/1, there have been a couple of instances where a downstream fluoride value was greater than 1.8 mg/1. A review of turbidity values show exceedances of 10 NTU upstream of the Feldspar plant especially in 2009 (8 months), three months in 2010 and two months in 2011. In every instance where the upstream turbidity was above 10 NTU, the downstream turbidity NTU was also greater than 10 NTU. The facility discharge did not always increase the instream turbidity value from upstream to downstream. TOXICITY TEST RESULTS: Quarterly Chronic P/F, 11% Ceriodaphnia test. JAN APR JUL OCT Facility's compliance with toxicity limit has been excellent. They have passed all toxicity tests since the last renewal in October 2006. Recommendation: Renewal of quarterly chronic test @ 11% PRIORITY POLLUTANT ANALYSIS RESULTS: Results from a July 2010 PPA reported in the renewal application indicate the presence of nickel (0.020 mg/1), color- 10 mg/1, fluoride, nitrate-nitrite, aluminum (1.5 mg/1), barium (0.04 mg/1), iron (1 mg/1), magnesium (3.3 mg/1), manganese (0.432 mg/1). Based on the concentration discharged and the dilution in the receiving stream, it is not anticipated that any of these parameters should be limited or monitored in the Feldspar permit. COMPLIANCE REVIEW: Facility has had some permit compliance violations since October 2006. NOVs sent in March 2007 for TSS daily maximum exceedances. There were pH daily maximum exceedances in August 2009. There have been several exceedances of the fluoride limit in 2007, 2008 and 2011. The Division has issued NOVs and proceeded to enforcement cases in some instances of the fluoride violations. There was one bypass of treatment in November 2009. PROPOSED CHANGES: • Change owner from Feldspar Corporation to The Quartz Corp USA • Deleted stormwater discharge from permit cover sheet • Effluent page A.1 was deleted and page A.2 became effective because Unimin Crystal Facility ceased to send its effluent through Feldspar's plant and began to discharge its treated process wastewater directly into the North Toe River. • Reduction of monitoring frequency for total fluoride, total suspended solids, turbidity, settleable solids and pH to weekly. Sufficient data will be collected yearly and daily monitoring frequency can be reduced. • The addition of upstream and downstream monitoring for TSS. Based on instream turbidity impairment and permitted load of TSS discharged by facility. Some correlation between turbidity and TSS. • Modified footnote on A(1.) regarding turbidity in the receiving stream. • Changed upstream monitoring site to Feldspar low water bridge, 200 yards upstream of Outfall 001. • Removed noncontact cooling water outfalls 002 and 003 from supplement to permit cover sheet. Removed two effluent pages referencing outfalls 002 and 003. Feldspar indicated that noncontact cooling water is reused in the process and no longer discharged. • Minor language changes to chronic toxicity requirement • Removed all of Part II. Stormwater monitoring, controls, and limitation for permitted discharges. The Feldspar Corporation will now have an individual stormwater permit to address the stormwater management and stormwater monitoring requirements.

We would like to add the following changes to our permit renewal application submittal: 1. Effective June 1, 2011, The UNIMIN Corporation ceased their wastewater treatment agreement with us. We wish to remove UNIMIN from our wastewater discharge permit. 2. The upstream sampling location for our current permit is at the "Altapass Bridge". Since UNIMIN is now discharging upstream of our Outfall 001,we wish to move this location to our own "low water bridge" GPS location 35 deg 54' 17.00"N 82 deg 03'40.61" W. This location is 200 yards upstream of our Outfall#001. Changing this location will allow us to better determine our impact on the North Toe River without including UNIMIN's upstream discharge. A drawing has been included for your reference. 3. Outfalls#002,and#003 are no longer used and we do not need to keep them permitted. Currently, both are permitted for non-contact cooling water discharge. These streams are now reused in our process. They were originally included for compliance with stormwater regulations since the existing permit combines wastewater and stormwater. We have been asked by the Asheville Regional Office to submit an NOI for stormwater so it can be removed from the wastewater permit.

Sullins Dee Freeman Governor Director Secretary January 27, 2011 Gregory Taveras Imerys Ceramics P.O. Box 309 Spruce Pine,NC 28777 Dear Mr. Taveras: This letter is to inform you of certain permit changes related to stormwater management on the following facilities: NC00003 53- Spruce Pine Facility NC0000400-K-T Feldspar Corp - Spruce Pine 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. Also,NCG020274,the industrial stormwater permit, which covers the Pine Mountain mine as well as the K-T Feldspar Corp- Spruce Pine facility, will no longer apply to the processing plant. A separate NCG020000 will provide stormwater discharge coverage at the plant, once in place. Modifications to your site plans and Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plans will be required to reflect these changes. 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: http://portal.ncdenr.org/web/wq/ws/su/npdessw#tab-3. Current site practices and procedures meeting the existing permit conditions should be continued until the NCG020000 Certificates of Coverage have been delivered.

Tailings(Sludge)Disposal Plan for The Feldspar Corporation Spruce Pine Operations: NPDES No. NC0000353 The Feldspar Corporation produces mineral tailings(sludge)at its wastewater facility located at 530 Altapass road in Spruce Pine,NC. These mineral tailings are disposed of as follows: Tailings from the wastewater facility are conveyed outside the building to a staging and storage area. Tailings are moved to disposal sites by dump bed trucks on Federal,state, municipal and private roads. Trucks are covered during the transport of this material to prevent the materials from blowing off the trucks. Sites are chosen for tailings disposal that will enhance the value of real property by filling and not present problems through the loss of materials to surface waters by erosion. Steam buffers are observed(25' min.)and wetlands and seeps are avoided if possible. Sites are planned and approved by submittal of a soil and erosion control plan through the 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. The tailings are also used in reclamation of mine sites and some are sold as fill material. Ceramic companies who make floor tile and other ceramic products have bought the tailings for use as a raw material.
