established around disposal systems midway between the Compliance Boundary and the
perimeter of the waste disposal area. When the concentration of any substance equals or
exceeds the maximum allowable concentration of that substance at the REVIEW
BOUNDARY, as determined by monitoring, the Permittee shall either (i) demonstrate,
through predictive calculations or modeling, that natural site conditions, facility design and
operational controls will prevent a violation of standards at the Compliance Boundary; or,
(ii) submit a plan for the alteration of existing site conditions, facility design or operational
controls that will prevent a violation of standards at the Compliance Boundary, and
implement that plan upon its approval by the Director.

WQ1549/GW89138
This Office has reviewed the analysis data which was submitted
with your letter of May 25, 1989 to Mr. Jack Floyd.
We are concerned with the high heavy metal concentrations
detected in the slime fraction sample. As indicated during our Tune
6, 1989 telephone conversation, a liner, which meets the
specifications in 15 NCAC 2H .0219(f), may be required. However, the
analysis which has been conducted does not .predict the leachability or
mobility of'the metals. Therefore, we will review the results of the
EP Toxicity and pH -testing prior to making a final decision regarding
the need for lagoon liners.
If y-ou'have any questions, do not'he'sitate to call.

Dear Ms. McCaskill:
Please find attached the following items for the subject project.
1. Non -Discharge Permit Application.
2. Application check in the amount of $250.00.
3. Three (3) copies of a Narrative describing the plant process and
estimated volumes, the characteristics of any additives and the
resultant by-product, and the hydro -geological characteristics of
the proposed lagoon sites including the water table depth.
4. Three (3) copies of a site location map indicating the location of
the processing facilities and the proposed lagoons.
5. Three (3) copies of a plan view drawing of each proposed lagoon
indicating the embankment configuration and the size of the
lagoon.
6. Three (3) copies of the manufacturer's literature describing the
only additive.
7. Three (3) copies of calculations indicating each lagoon's
capacities.
This project generally involves the construction of two (2) additional disposal
sites, one of approximately 1.7 MG capacity, the other of approximately 18 MG capacity to
dispose of naturally produced clay slime resulting from the physical (gravity, magnetic
and screening) operations utilized in the separation of crushed material at the mining
facility.
P.O. BOX 2289 38 ORANGE STREET

The owner of the subject project and site is currently operating under an existing
Non -Discharge Permit for sludge disposal in the name of Vein Mountain Processing Company
and is herein applying for the permitting of additional sites for the disposal of the clay
slime (sludge).
We would appreciate your timely review and subsequent approval of the attached. If
you have any questions or need additional information, please do not hesitate to call.
