and/or wastewater discharges will end up in? TOMS FORK, WACCAMAW RIVER
To find the waterbody, please see the "MAPS"tab on http://portal.ncdenr.orq/web/wq for a map of NC
Surface Waterbody Classifications.
Receiving water classification(s) for the waters: C; Sw
If the site will discharge to a separate storm sewer system, name the operator of the separate storm sewer
system (e.g. City of Raleigh municipal storm sewer).
Discharge of wastewater to receiving waters classified as WS-II through WS-V, or SA, must be
approved by the Division of Water Resources (DWR) or Division of Marine Fisheries
(DMF). DEMLR cannot grant coverage under NCG020000 without that approval. Also be advised that
no new discharges of wastewater are permitted in receiving waters classified as WS-I or
freshwater ORW. Wastewater discharges to saltwater ORW will not be approved under General Permit
NCGO2 but may be eligible for an individual permit.
20) Will this mine site discharge wastewater or stormwater to waters classified as High Quality Waters
(HQW), Primary Nursery Areas (PNA), Trout(Tr)waters, or a class with a symbol like "+" or"@" that
denotes a special management strategy is in place?
X No ❑ Yes, HQW* ❑ Yes, includes"+" or"@"
❑ Yes, PNA* ❑ Yes, Trout(Tr)
21) Will this mine site discharge wastewater or stormwater to waters classified as Shellfish (SA) waters?
X No
❑ Yes, SA*
*For questions 19-20, be advised that the NCGO2 General Permit limits the discharge volume of total combined
wastewaters to 50 percent of the receiving water in-stream flow under 7Q10 conditions in HQW waters (PNA and
SA waters are considered HQW by definition). You may be required to contact USGS to obtain a 7Q10 flow.
22) Will this mine site discharge wastewater or stormwater to impaired waters, or to waters with an
approved "Total Maximum Daily Load" (TMDL)?
To find impaired waters, please see the "Impaired Waters" map on the "MAPS" tab on
http://portal.ncdenr.orq/web/wq.
To find approved TMDLs in North Carolina, please see DWR's Water Planning Section website:
http://portal.ncdenr.orq/web/wq/pslmtu/tmdl/tmdls.
X No
❑ Yes, these waters are impaired for (list pollutants):

have the potential to drain wetlands or otherwise impact surface water or groundwater MUST develop and
implement a Pumping Operation and Monitoring (POM) Plan that has been approved by the
Department.
For sites that may drain wetlands—approval of a POM Plan may be required prior to coverage under
this permit. The POM Plan should be submitted to the appropriate Regional Office and in all cases must be
approved prior to operation.
The plan shall include, but is not limited to: (1) Groundwater monitoring strategies to demonstrate the effect of
pumping and to establish any pumping regime necessary to reduce impacts, and (2) Detailed plans to maintain
surrounding hydrology and respective monitoring to demonstrate compliance. See checklist at the end of the
application. Contact the Regional Office for questions specific to your mine.

Why or Why not?* DEWATERING BASIN IS MORE EFFICIENT
ii) Is a surface or subsurface disposal system otherwise feasible to implement?* ❑ Yes X No
Why or Why not?* DEWATERING BASIN IS MORE EFFICIENT

alternative of all reasonably cost-effective options for the wastewaters being considered?*
X Yes ❑ No
f) If this review included all wastewater discharge types,would excluding some types (e.g. mine
dewatering)make any of the above non-discharge options feasible for some of the wastewaters?

Ref: Sandy Pit NCG020000 Notice of Intent Application
Columbus County, NC
To Whom It May Concern,
Please find enclosed an application for an NCG020000 and documentation as described
below for your review and approval:
• Check for$100.00
• One original of the completed application
• One copy of the originally approved mining permit
• One copy of the modification mining permit submitted on January 10, 2020.
• One copy of a county map and USGS topo map
• Two copies of plans
The purpose of this project is to mine sand for use in construction projects. This pit was
originally approved for mining of 8.17 acres on August 15, 2016. The owner has bought the
property adjacent to this pit and is making application for a modification permit. Along with
that modification, this dewatering application is being submitted. There are existing wetlands
at the back of the properties. A wetlands delineation has been made by Wetlands Solutions
and is shown on the enclosed plans. Wetland Solutions has also made application to the
Corps of Engineers for a Jurisdictional Determination. At the time of this submittal, we still
have not had a response from them.

Sandy Pit NCG020000 Application
January 13, 2020
Page 12
The entrance to the mining area is by an existing soil road off of Sandy Pit Road. An existing
temporary Construction Entrance/Exit will continue to be maintained at this entrance for the
life of the mine. A dewatering basin will be constructed when the need for dewatering the
mine becomes apparent. Water from the mine will be pumped to the dewatering basin and
released at non-erosive rates to an existing pond on the property.
The Mining Modification Application was mailed on January 10, 2020, to the NCDEQ Mining
Program.
Should you have any questions or need additional information, please feel free to contact me.
Sincerely,
ANDERSON ENGINEERING & ASSOCIATES, P.A.
