Well it might be good to add the email to our LF file on it so our staff will be aware of it when we renew the permit

Wow, that is awful. Do I need to do anything for this? That permit is not on the 2019 schedule I don't think.

All,
Asheville Regional Office Water Quality staff alerted ARO Public Water Supply Section at approximately
11:45 p.m. to report that the American Zinc Recycling facility was on fire. The address for this site is 48 Hicks

Grove Rd., Mooresboro, NC. There is a 1,000,000 gallon tank that stores sulfuric acid in the facility and waste
product storage lagoons adjacent to the facility. The site sits above the Broad River and there is the potential
for runoff from this facility to reach the river. No North Carolina Public Water Supply surface water intakes are
located downstream of this facility. South Carolina Emergency Operations has been notified of the event. A
link to a news release about the fire has been provided below. Please call or email if you have additional
questions.
