Comments submitted by: Environment, Agriculture, Parks, and Recreation _ <br />Article, Section, <br />Comment <br />or Page <br />Number <br />Section 5.5 <br />Page 5 -28 <br />(b) I don't believe there is a NC dept of Human Resources anymore as listed- perhaps this is now DHHS? <br />(c) Likewise, the NC Div of Environmental Management is now NCDENR <br />Might want to search the document for these terms to see if they exist elsewhere? <br />1 <br />In the section concerning gold courses, Pollutant Monitoring Program, I would suggest some thought be given to the <br />locations of the sampling stations for surface water, groundwater and sediment. Perhaps the intent is to establish <br />upgradient sampling locations as well as sampling locations down - gradient of some potentially contaminating source or <br />specific location ?? I think this section needs a bit of discussion as to what the objective is. In addition, under (3) <br />Parameters for Sample Testing- I think that some description of approved analytical methods and minimum detection <br />limits would be helpful. I am not familiar with the EPA HAL thresholds described in this section but I would be willing to <br />look into this. There are various NC soil, water and groundwater limits that may be worth considering for this section. <br />3 <br />5(b) of this section- Management Response to Pollutant Monitoring- I would recommend that the responsible party also <br />be required to contact appropriate state regulatory officials if thresholds are exceeded, not just OC do so. I also <br />recommend that the phrase "for thresholds" be removed from this sentence. <br />3 <br />Likewise, in section 2 (c) Operations Monitoring - NCDEHNR is now NCDENR- no more health in that dept. Also in 6.16.3 <br />Environmental management - refers to NC dept of Human resources again <br />5 (b) under this refers to DEM again <br />1 <br />6.16.4- is a mining permit now supplied by NC Div of Land Resources, not Div of Natural Resources as listed? <br />1 <br />Under the stream buffer section- uses allowed with mitigation- Should temporary roads and the like be required to be re- <br />vegetated after the temporary use is completed- such that they are not maintained but are truly "temporary"? <br />14 1 <br />N <br />1) Incorporated; 2) For further BOCC discussion; 3) Implementation Bridge — Possible future phases; 4) Suggesting no action Cn <br />
