Dear Mr. Howard:
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Serviceti(Service) ha's reviewed draft
NPDES permit No. NCS000310 for t14"buracell,:U.S.A. facility in
Lexington, Davidson County, North Carolina:-' The permit is
designed to cover stormwater discharge ' to'
an unnamed tributary of
Abbotts Creek, a class C stream in the"Yadkin-Pee Dee River
Basin. These comments are submitted in accordance with the
provisions of the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act, as amended
(16 U.S.C. 661-667e) and as technical assistance to the State's
water quality management program.
The Duracell, U.S.A. facility in Lexington has been a source of
mercury contamination to Abbotts Creek and High Rock Lake. The
management of the facility has been aggressively working to
remediate the site in cooperation with your agency and the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency. Actions taken include removal
of contaminated soil and sediments, treatment of groundwater,
sampling and monitoring.
Prior to soil removal actions in 1982, 1983, and 1991, mercury
levels of site.soils were up to 79,200 ppm. .Sampling in 1992
indicated that many areas still exceeded 130 ppm; about 25
percent exceeded 50 ppm. While the proposed stormwater permit
includes annual monitoring for mercury, we recommend that it be
modified to include quantitation of total suspended solids and
specify that mercury be monitored in either of two ways: 1) as
total mercury in an unfiltered grab sample; or preferably,
V2) quantitation of mercury in a filtered sample with
corresponding analysis of the mercury in the particulates
filtered -out of the sample. -
