C--iESHIRE MEADOWS MINE
Operations „and Maintenance Plan
Permit No. 27-48
Curritttck County. North Carolina
Buc:kr,rowul:
The subject mine is located in Shawboro, Cur•ituck County, North Carolina. It is abutted
on the cast by Shortcut Road, on the west by farmland, on the north by woodlands, and on the east
by swamp. The property was formerly farmland until the permit was originally issued.
Material from the site is used to provide sand for local home construction, including septic
drain fields and sand pads for homes. The frequency of operations at the site is largely dependent
upon local construction projects. Excavation and stock -piling occurs on an as -needed basis.
Description of 4perationc:
The site. other than the excavation site, stock -pile areas and retaining pond, has remained
undisturbed in its original condition as farmland with its own on -site ditches which continue to
function. No farming activities currently occur. The retaining pond was originally constructed with
the intention of retaining on site all water pumped from the excavation pond and has worked well
to date and has proven to be much larger than necessary. It is located to the north of the excavation
pond and is currently over two acres acres in size, but will be decreased in the event a dewatering
permit is issued since all of the water being pumped will no longer need to be retained on site. It is
currently mound by berms of eleven feet in height and has a maximuin retaining capacity of
approximately 8 million gallons of water. Pumping from the excavation site is accomplished by
it 6" Godwin pump. After the excavation site has been pumped out, keeping the pit area dry is
accomplished by pumping at a speed of 700-800 gpm for an average of one to two hours per day 4
to 5 days per week. In recent years, very limited pumping has taken place due to lack of local
demand, but the foregoing is provided as an average to dcmonstrnte what is needed to keep the
excavation site in a condition allowing for material to be removed.
Purpose fnr Plan:
An NC6020000 has been applied for in the event there is any dewutering which makes its
way off -site and to provide for the same in the event the retaining pond ever proves inadequate for
the demand created by the potential increase in demand for local construction.
Page Iof3

Xfonitoring and Maintenance:
The site, even when operations arc not busy, is and will be monitored on a regular basis. The
mining area remains under lock and key when operations tire slow. All discharges from the site will
he carefully monitored to ensure compliance with an NCDENR NCG020000 which may be issued
for the subject location.
Specific monitoring and maintenance shall include the following:
1 _ All outflow locations will be monitored on at least a weekly basis to ensure proper
functioning,.
2. The retaining pond will be monitored on at least a weekly basis to chuck for any leaks and
tar any areas of the hewn which may need more material due to erosion or otherwise,
Z. Monitoring of the retaining pond and outflow locations will be specifically inspected and
monitored within 24 hours of a storm event which produces significant discharge.
4. The size of the rctaining/settling pond was originally designed and constructed based upon
retaining all pumped water on site, but with permission to de -water, the size of the retaining/settling
pond may be reduced while still accomplishing the necessary amount of settling.
5. An additional point of outflow may be added in the event any single point of outflow is
being overburdened by flow; however, appropriate measures will be taken to ensure an appropriate
amount of sediment does not leave the site from all point(s) of outflow.
G. Points ol'outflow will be specifically inspected once per week, assuming puinping and
outflow has taken place that particular week, to ensure all aspects of the outflow arc working as
intended.
7. The point of supply to the retaining; pond may be moved depending upon where on the
site the source of pumping is located. In the event ol'a change, measures will be taken to ensure no
discharge occurs from a loaner point of supply.
8. In the event of any erosion along the berms for the retaining pond or ditches, steps will
he taken to replenish the same with vegetation or seeding added in an clTort to limit any future such
erosion.
4. If ditch banks continue to erode, seed blankets will be installed or rip rap as deemed
necessary by the operator.
10. Culvert pipes shall be regularly inspected to ensure proper flow and integrity and shall
be craned out and replaced as necessary.
Page 2 of 3

1 1. Ditches within the property and along its boundary which have vegetation in place shall
be permitted to retain such vegetation as long as sufficient drainage is not inhibited. Current levels
of vegetation assist in maintaining ditch banks, the integrity of the ditches and create a natural filter
for any sediment which may find its way into the ditch. Regular inspections will be made of the
ditches to ensure proper flow and removal of seditnent to accomplish the same.
12. Stockpiling of material shall not occur within fifty feet ofany site boundary ditch in an
ellort to ensure: retaining of stockpiled materials on site and to accommodate for any erosion from
stockpiled material.
13. Stockpiling of materials shall be located and stocked in a manncr as to cause stormwater
drainage back towards the excavation pond(s).
14, Haul roads shall be maintained in a manner to ensure reasonable passage by trucks and
equipment.
15. Haul roads shall be drained in a manner to cause storinwater drainage back towards the
excavation pond(s)_
16. Should any modifications of the foregoing become necessary, the owner and operator
reserve the right to modify the manner of operating and maintenance to address the same while at
the same time continuing to comply with the mining permit.

Subject: FW: Cheshire Meadows - 27-48
Hello,
Today I contacted James Innes [phone], by phone and explained the NCG02 General NPDES SW/WW permit and
application process. (Mr. Innes will call me back if he needs additional information.)
I explained the consequences of discharging without a permit and guided him to the application and additional
information available regarding Industrial NPDES SW/WW general permitting. The information may be viewed from the
DWQ website by following the attached link: htt grtal.ncdenr.or web w ws su n dessw#tab-3.
I explained that discharges of Stormwater (SW) which fall within the permitted boundary on activities associated with
the Mining Industry that are conveyed from the site via a point source discharge, require NCG02 permitting.
The NCG02 permit also includes wastewater (WW) discharges associated with the mining operation. WW discharges
include mine dewatering WW, process WW, as well as 5W which has comingled.
Note: Sheet flow of WW constitutes a discharge and therefore requires NCG02 permitting.
No discharge is allowable prior to the issuance of a NCG02 permit from the DWQ Raleigh Central Office (CO). Also, a
Pumping Operation and Monitoring Plan (O&M Plan) shall be approved by the Washington Regional Office (WaRO) prior
to a discharge as per the DWQ comments dated 3/19/10.
Please let me know if you need additional information.
Thanks,
Thom

Re: Cheshire Meadows Mine - Permit No. 27-48
Dear Ms. Wehner:
In response to your most recent correspondence regarding our application for amendment to
the permit, we do not plan on making any off -site discharge at this time. As far as pumping rates,
pumping does not occur with any regularity and we will be limited to the capacity of the holding pond
when pumping. With a water level of 13' in the 3.0 acre excavation site representing 12,707,323
gallons of water and a holding pond of 6.0 acres with I F berms as shown on the revised plats
enclosed, the holding pond can retain all the amount from the excavation site with capacity for an
extra 10,752,351 gallons (23,459,674 gallon total capacity for holding pond)(formula used - I cubic
foot = 7.48 gal). With the excavation site fully drained, this allows for an additional 66" of rainfall
capacity . Accordingly, with a holding pond capacity of almost double the excavation site, the
holding pond will only be at 54% of its capacity even when the excavation site is fully drained.
As far as the changes relating to the plat, all have been made and the requested two copies of
the plat are enclosed. Thank you for your continued assistance.
Sincerely yours,
James B. Innes

Description of Operations:
The site_ other than the excavation site, stock -pile areas and retaining pond, has remained
undisturbed in its original condition as farmland with its own on -site ditches which continue to
lbriction. No farming activities currently occur. The retaining pond was originally constructed with .
the intention of retaining on site all water pumped from the excavation pond and has worked well
to date and has proven to be much larger than necessary. It is located to the north of the excavation
pond and iv currently over two acres acres in size, but will be decreased in the event a dewatering
permit is issued since all of the water being pumped will no longer need to be retained on site. It is
currently bound by berms of eleven feet in height and has a maximum retaining capacity of
approximately 8 million gallons of water. Pumping from the excavation site is accomplished by
it 6" Godwin pump. Alter the excavation site has been pumped out, keeping the pit area dry is
accomplished by pumping at a speed of 700-800 bptn for an average of one to two hours per day 4
to 5 days per week. In recent years, very limited pumping has taken place due to lack of local
demand. but the foregoing is provided as an average to demonstrate what is needed to keep the
excavation site in a condition allowing for material to be removed.
Pur pose for flan:
An NC'G020000 has been applied for in the event there is any dewatering which makes its
way off -site and to provide for the same in the event the retaining pond ever proves inadequate for
the demand created by the potential increase in demand for local construction.

Moniloring and 1i4ui177G'nu17Ce:
The site, even when operations arc not busy, is and will be monitored on a regular hasis. The
mining area remains under lock and key when operations tore slow. All discharges from the site will
he carefully monitored to ensure compliance with an NC DENR NCG020000 which may be issued
for the subject location.

1. All outilo%v locations will he monitored on at least a weekly basis to ensure proper
ttin ctioning.
2. The retaining Mond wiI I he monitored on at least a weekly hasis to check for any leaks anal
for anv areas of the heart which may need more material due to erosion or ollicnvise.
3. Monitoring of the retaining pond and outflow locations will be specifically inspected and
wonitored within 24 hours of it storm event which produces significant discharge.
4. The size of the retaining/settling pond was originally designed and constructed based upon
retaining all purrtpcd water on Site, but with permission to de -water, the size of the retaining/sculing
pond may he reduced while still accomplishing; the necessary amount of settling.
5. An additional point of outflow may be added in the event any single point of outflow is
being overburdened by flow: however, appropriate measures will be taken to insure an appropriate
amount of sediment does not leave the site from all point(s) of outtlow.
G. Points of outflow will be specifically inspected once per week, assurning pumping and
outflow ht►s taken place that particular week, to ensure all aspects of the outtlow arc working as
intended.
7. The point of supply to the retaining pond may be moved depending upon where on the
,site the som-CC orpumping is 1OCated. In the CVCrlt Cif a Change, 1nea5t1rC5 will lx: taken to ensure nO
discharge occurs bran a lormer lxtint of'supply.

IL Ditches within the property and along its boundary which have vegetation in place shall
he permitted to retain such vegetation as long as sufficient drainage is not inhibited. Current levels
of vegetation assist in maintaining ditch hanks, the integrity ofthe ditches and create a natural filter
for any sedinicnt which may find its way into the ditch. Regular inspections will be made of the
ditches to ensure proper flow and removal of sediment to accomplish the same.
12. Stockpiling of material.shall not occur within fifly feet of any site boundary ditch in an
effort to ensure retaining, of stockpiled materials on site and to accommodate for any erosion from
stockpiled material.
13. Stockpiling oftnaterials shall be located and stocked in a manner as to cause storrn%vatcr
drainage; hack towards the excavation pond(s).
14. Haul roads shall be maintained in a manner to ensure reasonable passage by trucks and
equipment.
15. Hatt1 roads shall be drained in a manner to cause stormwater drainage back towards the:
excavation pond(s).
16. Should any modifications of the foregoing become necessary, the owner and operator
reserve the right to modify the manner of operating and maintenance to address the same while at

drain fields and sand pads for homes. The frequency of operations at the site is largely dependent
upon local construction projects. Excavation and stock -piling occurs on an as -needed basis.
Descriplion of Operations:
The site, other than the excavation site, stock -pile areas and retaining pond, has remained
undisturbed in its original condition as farmland with its own on -site ditches which continue to
function. No farming activities currently occur, The retaining pond was originally constructed with
the intention of retaining on site all water pumped from the excavation pond and- has worked well
to date and has proven to be much larger than necessary. It is located to the north of the excavation
pond and is currently over two acres acres in size, but will be decreased in the event a dewatering
permit is issued since all of the water being pumped will no longer need to be retained on site. It is
currently bound by berms of eleven feet in height and has a maximum retaining capacity of
approximately 8 million gallons of water. Pumping from the excavation site is accomplished by
a 6" Godwin pump. After the excavation site has been pumped out, keeping the pit area dry is

G. Points of outflow will be specifically inspected once per week, assuming pumping and
outflow has taken place that particular week, to ensure all aspects of the outflow are working as
intended.
7. The point of supply to the retaining pond may be moved depending upon where on the
site the source of pumping is located. Imthe event of a change, measures will be taken to ensure no
discharge occurs from a former point of supply.
LIn the event of any erosion along the berms for the retaining pond or ditches, steps will
be takeyeplenish the same with vegetation or seeding added in an effort to limit any future such
erosion.

The following activities are specifically excluded from coverage under this General Permit: �' w
• Stormwater discharges associated with peat mining, coal mining, and metal mining;
Stormwater discharges from mining operations which are intermixed on site with stormwater from all
operations and/or concrete operations;, cs
• Stormwater discharges associated with oil and gas extraction operations; and v
• Stormwater discharges associated with tourist gem mines I—
• NCDOT borrow pits are covered under NCS000150 �.••'
The following discharges are covered by NPDES general permit NCG520000 instead of NCG020000:
• Point source discharges of stormwater and wastewater from in -stream sand mining operations (i.e., sand
dredging or dipping operations)
For new mining sites that require an authorization to construct (ATC) wastewater treatment facilities: This
NOI is also an APPLICATION FOR an ATC for new wastewater treatment facilities. ATC requests must be
submitted at least 90 days prior to construction'.
For existing mining sites that require an Authorization to Operate (ATO) wastewater treatment facilities:
This NOI is also an APPLICATION FOR an ATO for wastewater treatment facilities in place.
Construction modification or installation of any new treatment cam onents at an existing site requires an
ATC. (If the site is already covered by NCG020000, the ATC request may be submitted without an NOI).
Some wastewater treatment facilities used to treat or recycle wastewater at mining sites will require an ATC pEiQL
to construction per 15A NCAC 2H .0138. Please see the NCG020000 General Permit for details about which
treatment facilities require an ATC (summarized in Table 1 below). The authorization to construct or continue
to operate will be issued at the same time as the Certificate of Coverage (CDC) for the NCG02 permit. Design of
treatment facilities must comply with requirements of 15A NCAC 2H .0138 & .0139.
Construction of wastewater treatment facilities subject to the AMATO requirements in the NCG02 permit

NCG020000 and O & M Plan
Revised We 11/24/10
This document is not meant to be all inclusive or meant to be required for every mine
site. It is for information and guidance only. While a lot of components of the BMP
plans may be alike regardless of the mine, the O & M Plan is site specific. To help DWQ
reviewers and those who are attempting to develop O & M Plans for permittees, this
information was compiled as guidance for the development of O & M plans.
Compliance with Part II Section A: Requirements to Construct New or Expanding
Treatment Facilities. Should the proposed mine utilize a process recycle wastewater
system, an Authorization to Construct will be necessary. The permittee must meet the
requirements for operation of this treatment facility per Part It Section B.
Compliance with Part III: Monitoring, Controls, and Limitations for Permitted
Discharges. Section A of Part III requires the permittee to develop and implement a
stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs) Plan. This requires a written plan that
can be easily followed, understood or implemented by quarry employees. The BMPs
plan should address items I through b in Section A of Part III. In order to be sure that all
areas of concern are addressed, the plan should follow the Table of Contents as closely as
possible. DWQ reviewers should compare the BMP plan to the table of contents
provided in the permit to determine whether proposed BMPs are adequate. They should
include (but in no way are limited to) a thorough inspection and maintenance plan;
preventative maintenance and good housekeeping measures, spill control and cleanup
measures; stormwater management requirements; and the requirement that erosion and
sedimentation control (E&SC) measures in the mining permit or E&SC plan approved by
the Division of Land Resources be implemented.
Compliance with Section C Part 1111. Through 6.: Effluent Limitations and
Monitoring Requirements for Mine Dewatering Wastewater and Process
Wastewater. This section of the permit requires permittees to provide an Operation and
Monitoring Plan. The Plan must be able to demonstrate the effect of pumping and, as
necessary, establish the pumping regime necessary to reduce the potential impacts to
adjacent wetlands. Please refer to Page 5 of 9 Part III of the NPDES NCG020000 Permit
Conditions. The following bulleted items can be used as a guide for developing an
appropriate O & M Plan (O&M), however, each plan is site specific and the list is not all
inclusive due to specific characteristics of the site. Prior to constructing the mine and
definitely before any dewatering activities occur, the plan must be in writing and
reviewed by DWQ.
A wetland delineation is required to identify all surface waters including wetlands
in the vicinity of the mine. (Not just whether there are wetlands within the mining
boundary). The USACOE is the only entity certified to provide a delineation.
Qualified consultants may present their calls on the plan, but the Corp must stamp
the delineation for any certified calls.

• Site Map: This map should provide significant detail. The map should indicate
the landscape and position of all wetlands (based on the delineation), ditches,
proposed well placement, borrow areas, overburden storage, vehicle maintenance
areas, mining roads, buffers, rain gauges, fuel and bulk fuel storage areas,
buildings and other impervious structures, stormwater controls and the mine
footprint.
• Identify which of the three (3) types of discharge (stormwater, mine dewatering,
and process wastewater overflow) will be present. Identify all discharge points
from the mine and indicate the type of discharge. For process wastewater or mine
dewatering, the anticipated rate of discharge is needed. How will the mine site be
graded and how will stormwater be managed within the pit and along the mine
site boundaries. (O&M)
• Provide design specifications for settling basins used to reduce turbidity and TSS
prior to discharge. If level spreaders are used, be sure to construct them according
to the level spreader guidance provided by the Division at:
http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/su/documents/LevelSpreaderGuidance_Final_-3.pdf .
The plan should clearly identify which surface waters may be impacted, the
classification of those water(s) and ensure the discharge from the mine will not
cause an exceedance of the water quality standards for that surface water. What
size storm event have the settling ponds and retention pond been designed for?
(For example, the 10-year, 24-hour event?) Provide calculations to support that
storage ponds will be able to hold run-off from the design storm, as well as the
mining operation process wastewater. Is this the only place where stormwater
will discharge from this site. Identify any flocculants or chemicals proposed for
use at the site to enhance settling. (0&M)
• A cone of influence is be provided for mines intending to dewater from the pit.
Present all wetlands or other surface waters of the State within cone of depression.
Provide all assumptions used for determining this radius of influence around the
mining site (DWQ reviewers, may request assistance from the Division of Water
Resources Group as necessary). Once the zone of influence is determined,
identify the wetlands in the impact area and locate additional monitoring wells
(MW) and BMP's accordingly. (O&M) This can be used to present that no
impacts will occur to wetlands or other waters of the state. A radius of 400 feet
from the edge of the excavation area has been set as the area to evaluate.
• Please provide data or other information about how seasonal changes in the water
table relative to the wetlands and their jurisdictional status have been evaluated.
(O&M) This may require some monitoring of shallow wells within the wetlands
before dewatering can occur.
• If the mining application indicates the wetlands will be protected through the use
of ponds, level spreaders, or ditches, but there are no calculations or models to
support this claim, require the permittee to provide additional technical
information and calculations to support that these techniques will protect the
surrounding hydrology.
• Clearly indicate the amount of buffer to be established around the mine footprint
edge and the respective wetland edges. Are the wetlands located within this
buffer and will they be drained from the hydraulic gradient change and pumping

of the mine? Wider buffers than those imposed by Land Quality may be
necessary as an added measure of safety to minimize wetland impacts. DWQ can
request wider buffers (Land Quality usually imposes a 25' — 50' buffer).
• Well installation: The placement of wells may be placed within the mine site
property boundary (if isolated wetlands or wetlands within the mine boundary
exist) and within the cone of depression (if wetlands fall within this zone).
Provide details on installation, data loggers, well maintenance schedule and
activities and depths of wells, when necessary. Wells must be properly installed
and properly maintained throughout the active life of the mine, through
reclamation efforts, and for 5 years after the Division of Land Resources releases
the site and determines the mine site has been reclaimed unless otherwise
approved in writing by NCDWQ. The plan must include wetland monitoring
such that data may be collected to insure that wetlands are adequately monitored
and demonstrate the activities are not impacting surface waters.
• Monitoring. All analytical and qualitative monitoring for mine dewatering
wastewater, stormwater and process wastewater associated with sand/gravel
mining must be in accordance with the NCG020000 permit. Monitoring in the
wetlands prior to mine site operation will be a requirement in order to establish
the hydrology of the wetland. Rain guage data must be collected. Maintenance of
the rain guage and monitoring frequency must be identified in the plan. Physical
monitoring of wetlands to reaffirm the presence of the jurisdictional wetland line
and soils, as well as for instability, erosion, sloughing, subsidence, collapse,
newly formed sinkholes, wetland vegetation degradation, flooding of wetlands
from discharge activities and/or removal of the hydrology of wetlands. This
monitoring may be accomplished by inspection of the wetland areas while
conducting well maintenance efforts. Specifically, once the monitoring wells
locations are approved monitoring must occur prior to the time of construction
and through the duration of the time the site is being mined and for 5 years after
(for major mines) the mining efforts have been completed unless otherwise
approved in writing by,NCDWQ. The plan should include the frequency of well
data collection and all inspections. All data should be clearly documented and
reported according to the permit, and the written O & M plan.
• Data Analyses. Provide an explanation of how monitoring data will be analyzed
to determine whether the wetland hydrology is removed or being maintained. If
monitoring results indicate impacts to the avoided wetlands, explain how these
impacts may be abated. How will data be analyzed to determine or demonstrate
what effects pumping and dewatering are having, and propose pumping regimes
necessary to reduce impacts to wetlands. More extensive pumping test data
should be included.

SIWT.ran-ioj) nfm4rlilr
NCG020000 General Permit for Mining Activities
SECTION C: .Effluent limitations and monitoring requirements .for mine dewatering
wastewater and process wastewater
1.) Mine Dewatering Wastewater
Mine dewatering activities that have the potential to drain wetlands must have
secured and implemented an Operations and Monitoring Plan approved by the
Division.
O & M Plans shall include, but are not limited to:
• Groundwater monitoring strategies to demonstrate the effect of pumping
and, as necessary, establish the pumping regime necessary to reduce impacts.
• _ Detailed plans to maintain the surrounding hydrology and the respective
monitoring to demonstrate compliance.
Key pieces of infon-nation that is required before any of the above can be adequately
developed:
I . Determine the amount of wastewater expected to be discharged daily as a
result of mine dewatering. This can be calculated.
2. Determine cone of influence from mine dewatering. This will be meaningless
unless they conduct pump tests to determine the characteristics of the aquifer
(such as K (hydraulic conductivity), T (transmissivity), S (storativity) and P
(permeability)) in which they are mining. Many consultants try to use text book
values for those characleristics based on the types of soils they either believe are
there or have been identified by well borings. That can be misleading.
Example: One mine used assumed values for "r and K to determine the cone of
influence. "their first try gave a result of 1800'. After being asked to determine
that value from pump tests they modified that figure to 2722'. The Division of
Water Resources reviewed a drawdown vs, time curve and found the consultant
read the graphical depiction in'error and asked for a recalculation using the
corrected values.. the cone of influence increased to 5700' and finally the
Division of Water Resources used their pump test data to calculate the aquifer
characteristics and their value was 7200'. After some negotiations with the
consultant concerning the calculations, 6200' was agreed upon.
Once the cone of influence is known, the consultant can propose a meaningful O & M
plan including monitoring well locations. Where should they be located? Along the edge
of the WETLAND BOUNDARIES within the cone of influence on and off their property
boundaries. How will they know where wetlands are?

ykw
3. Request a wetland delineation. Why a delineation rather than a determination?
1� What is the difference? Delineation is outlining the boundaries of a wetland
4 c ?Zty determination on aerial photography, digital imagery, other graphic representation
of the area, or on the land. - If wetlands are in close proximity to the reining site
itself, how will the hired help know they are maintaining appropriate buffers as
�specified in the mining permit? Makes sense if they are required to ensure wetland hydrology is not being affected. How will they know where to put the
u monitoring wells? Wetlands determination is a decision whether or not an area is
7.)/��� 1��.\0 SA a wetland, including identification of wetland type and size.
Determine existing and seasonal wetland hydrology. A reasonable amount of
time for monitoring to establish wetland hydrology should be provided.
What are some of the factors that can affect the hydrology of a wetland?
Rain (or lack of), groundwater fluctuations, flooding, vegetative uptake,
topography etc. etc. Seasons with unusual rain or drought.. this suggest long
term monitoring (years) which the consultant will absolutely not be willing to do.
What can we ask for to resolve this proble;n? Hire a registered soil scientist to ,
determine the seasonal high watermark. ("t.lz "'L, fT `?1'• �' ';' ? 5 21,�I
S. Components of Wetland Monitoring Plan within the O&M plan: Must
demonstrate their ability to protect the wetlands within the cone of influence.
Some of the components you might expect are (but not limited to):
a. Map with landscape positions of all wetlands, ditches, well placements,
borrow areas, overburden storage, stonnwater controls, vehicle
maintenance areas, settling basins, product process areas, access roads...
b. Well information —design, depths, and maintenance. .
c. Physical monitoring for the wetland areas •- wetland instability, erosion,
sloughing, sediment, sinkholes, removal of hydrology or flooding from
dewatering the mine, types and`health of vegetation and the monitoring
frequency for said parameters.
d. Settling Ponds for sediment prior to dewatering, are they large enough to
provide adequate settling based on size given Qin, Qout, is storrnwater and
process wastewater being commingled in the pond? . -` 1
c. How will the dewatering be conducted? Use of level spreader (they J,"A
should include the design)? Ditches (be careful)? Water cannons? Is the
wastewater from dewatering going to be used to maintain wetland
hydrology? How is that accomplished? How will they avoid erosion or
hooding of the wetland? How will the water make it to -the wetland
areas? How much water per day per acre is proposed? What will the
~-
impacts be to the wetlands?

Hello,
This information was recently submitted regarding another project, although should still apply.
I said that I would forward you additional information regarding the NCG020000 NPDES SW/WW permit (NCG02 or Mine
Dewatering Permit), examples of accepted Pumping Operation and Monitoring Plans (0&M Plans), as well as the program
requirements. Please go to the following link to find the information: http:L/portal.ncdenr.org/web/wq/ws/su/npdessw
Yes! That is a lot of information. So use these directions to get directly to the specific permit requirements of your operation
(you may want to print this message to get you right to specifics for mining):
*After clicking on the link listed above
*Scroll down and click on the "General Permits" tab
*Scroll down to the "NCGO20000" (NCG02) and click to view the "Permit Text" (in order to view the 38 pages of the
permit coverage and requirements. You should likely save the link as a favorite and print the text as reference).
When finished with the permit text and closing the link, move to the right to see the "Technical Bulletin" (This
two page document may also be beneficial as a reference).
*Close the "Technical Bulletin" link and go back up and click on the "Monitoring Forms" tab and
*Scroll down to the "Qualitative Monitoring Form" (visual inspections). You may want to print the form (As the form,
is likely one of the most important aspects of the general NPDES SW/WW program. As I mentioned, "the
program is a mindset". This meaning that an operation which follows the permitting requirements, minimizes
expenses, as well as minimizes the potential for negative impacts to the waters of the state). For added
convenience, the "Qualitative Monitoring Form", the same form as listed above may be accessed by clicking the
following link: K:INPDES StormwaterlNCG's\mine reviewslMineslHancock Creek Mine - 25-56 - Tateway, LLC -

*An excellent reference for consistency and to be used as a guide while completing the visual inspections can be found
by clicking on the link located to the right of the "visual monitoring form" referenced above, by clicking on the
"Qualitative Monitoring Guidance" link. For added convenience the guidance document (the some guidance

*The additional forms needed to comply with the "NCG02, general SW/WW permit' can also be found by scrolling
further down on the "Monitoring Forms" tab.
Attached to this message are two examples of 0&M Plans that have been accepted. The basic 0&M Plan example has been
stripped in order to be used a general example of an accepted project. The second example was in pdf format, so please
disregard the specifics. The attached are being presented as guidance examples only. Therefore, your improved 0&M Plan
may not resemble either of these, although may still be determined as an acceptable O&M Plan.
i
Also, your project is located within a coastal county and may require State Stormwater (SSW); Permitting. In order to
determine if SSW permitting is required, please contact Scott Vincent, Environmental Engineer— DWQ— Surface Water
Protection Section at [phone] to discuss your project. (SSW permitting is triggered at 10,000 SF of impervious area.
Impervious areas include haul roads, processing areas, etc.)

Please contact me with any questions or comments.

OPERATION AND MONITORING PLAN
Owner
XXX Mine
XXX County
Operator: XXX
Facility Name: XXX Mine
The XXX Mine is located approximately X miles XXX of XXX in XXX County. The Mine Permit area
is XXX acres which includes the access road of XXX acres, mine excavation area of XXX,
unexcavated buffer area of XXX acres, and stockpile area of XXX acres. The mine will have a
depth of XX feet at surface elevation of XXX MSL (upper end) and a depth of XXX at surface
elevation XXX MSL (lower end). The bottom elevation will be set at XXX MSL. An intermittent
stream is located greater than XXX along the XXX side of the XXX Mine with closest wetlands
being XXX from the pit area.
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION OF THE XXX MINE DEWATERING ACTIVITIES:
Excavation activities will begin along the pit boundary at the lower end of the field near the
woods in the XXX end of the mine where a XXX' x XXX' x XX' deep (approximately XXX acres)
dewatering pond will be excavated (see mine map last updated on XXX). The pond will be
provided with X horizontal to 1 vertical slope to the normal water level and X horizontal to 1
vertical from waterline to bottom of pond along the outside slope (see cross section of Pit). The
dewatering pond will be wet mined with no dewatering taking place. A XX" gravity flow drain
pipe will be set with top of pipe at XXX' below the ground elevation at the edge of the
dewatering pond. A stilling basin with level spreader will be constructed at the discharge end
of the XX" drain pipe (see detail of stilling basin and level spreader). The dewatering pond will
act as a recharge system to any wetlands along the XXX area below the pond. The pond will
have a capacity of approximately XXX cubic feet of total storage and discharge from the pond
will flow into the wetlands closest to the stilling basin and level spreader. A XX' wide berm will
be left along the inside edge of the dewatering pond. The berm will have a minimum of X to 1
slopes.
Once the dewatering pond has been excavated, mining will begin in the area just upslope of the
berm in a XXX direction. The water pump that will be utilized is a XX" pump with a capacity of
XXX gallons/minute on the low side. The intent is not to exceed XXX gallons on any given day
which will be approximately XX hours of pumping time per day. The pump intake will have a
float so the intake will be near the water surface at all times. Please note that mining will take
place when the demand is there for the material mined. There could be times when weeks or
months go by with no mining or dewatering activities taking place. The water pump will be
placed near one of the ends of the dewatering pond (see attached'pump location map) with the
pump discharge pipe discharging near the end of the pond. The depth from ground surface to
the normal groundwater table, in the area of the pond, is approximately XX' which will result in
XX' of storage above the normal ground water table which results in around XXX cubic feet of
storage above the water table.
Stormwater from the field upslope of the pit will naturally drain into the pit. Any other storm
water runoff will drain from the field the way it has always drained.

Monitoring:
All stormwater and wastewater discharges within the permitted boundary associated with land
disturbing activities shall be monitored, analyzed and reported as required by the NPDES
General Permit No. NCG020000. The intent of the permit is to minimize potential negative
impacts to water quality.
The mine operator shall keep a copy of all records related to inspections, reports, etc. regarding
stormwater/wastewater and provide these records to the Division of Water Quality as required
by the General Permit, The BMP Controls shall be inspected, at least weekly and within 24
hours following a storm event which produces a discharge. All maintenance of these BMP
measures shall be documented. The maintenance shall include, but is not limited to, good
house keeping, repair of measures, stilling basin clean outs, replacement of sediment filled rip
rap, etc., as necessary to prevent downstream impacts. if sediment enters the wetlands or
other negative impacts are observed, operations shall cease, the Division of Water Quality shall
be notified, and adequate preventative measures shall be promptly implemented in order to
correct the problem, prior to resuming the operation.

Dare County C&D Landfill Borrow Pit
Operations and Maintenance Plan
The purpose of this Operations and Maintenance Plan (0&M Plan) is to provide the Dare
County C&D Landfill staff with a manual that will serve as a guide for efficient operation of
the C&D Landfill Borrow Pit and provide the ability to recognize any adverse impacts of
dewatering, should they occur. This O&M Plan is intended to address the following issues:
■ Pump Maintenance and Recording,
■ Groundwater Monitoring,
■ Wetlands Monitoring,
■ Stormwater and Mining Permit Requirements,
■ Operating Record and Recordkeeping Requirements,
Site Background
The site is located in a relatively remote area of mainland Dare County. The existing borrow
area is surrounded by wetlands and prior converted cropland currently utilized for
agriculture. The entire Dare County site is bounded on the east by U.S. Highway 264 and on
the other three sides by the Alligator River National Wildlife Refuge, The existing borrow area
has been in operation since 1995 to provide cover soil for the active C&D landfill. The existing
excavation started approximately 150 feet south of the canal adjacent to Cub Road, to
minimize the effects of groundwater flow changes on the C&D landfill groundwater
monitoring system, and has continued to be performed at an average of 18-20 feet below
ground surface extending south toward Grouse Road (See attached Sheet G1).
Excavation is performed in increments as necessary to supply base fill, daily cover, and cap
construction for the C&D landfill. Dewatering of the excavation occurs as necessary.
Excavated material is temporarily stockpiled in the stockpile area and, after adequate
drainage, is used at the C&D landfill site.
In accordance with the approved mining permit, as the final edges of the excavation pit are
completed, excavation equipment operators will ensure that the final below.water table
surface slopes comply with the specifications outlined above. A free settling slope will be
maintained on the active face until final excavation is complete. Warning signs are placed at
the four corners of the excavation area.
In the mining area, land disturbing activities are accomplished such that all stormwater runoff
are directed into the mining pit. Drainage into the southern mining pit (Mining Excavation Pit
3) drains north where it.is pumped into Mining Excavation Pit 2. Mining Excavation Pit 2
gravity drains into Mining Excavation Pit 1. All water discharged from Mining Pit i gravity
drains from the discharge of Mining Pit 1 and flows west along Cub Road. At.the intersection
of Cub Road and Bear Road, drainage is directed north and discharges from.the property at
the intersection of Bear Road and Gadwell Road. Two surface drainage ditches drain the

stockpile area. Sedimentation basins are constructed in each of the two ditches to treat
stormwater and soil drainage.
Based on pump curve data, it is estimated that the maximum discharge rate for the
dewatering operation at the pit is approximately 1,200 gpm or 1.7 MGD. It is likely that
discharge rates are typically lower than 1,200 gpm and vary based on head. Withdrawn water
from the current excavation (Pit 3) is pumped to an adjacent pit and ultimately discharges to
a series of canals on site, as described above.
O&M Procedures
The following sections discuss 0&M procedures to be followed for the borrow pit activities at
the site. A spreadsheet to be used as a weekly general inspection checklist has been
generated based on the following activities. The weekly inspection checklist is provided as
Table 1. The weekly general inspection checklists will be maintained in a dedicated folder or
file and kept in the scale house.
In addition, as required in the Mining Permit, qualitative inspection and analytical discharge
monitoring will be conducted at the outfall from Mining Pit 1 to the canal. A Stormwater
Discharge Outfall (SDO) Qualitative Inspection Monitoring form is attached. The qualitative
inspection monitoring form is to be completed weekly and during any storm event greater
than 0.10 inches and will be kept on file in the scale house. If no discharge occurs during that
period, the Form should be filled out as "no flow."
Pump Maintenance and Recording
There is no meter present to monitor discharge rates from the borrow pit to the adjacent pit,
however, there is an hour meter at the pump. Pumping rates vary as head fluctuates, but the
pump is never turned off. in the event of interruption or variation from the typical pumping
rate and time, County staff shall record time that pump was not active and describe reason
for inactivity on the weekly inspection checklist.
Groundwater Monitoring
In order to monitor the effects of prolonged pumping of the surficial aquifer on the area
surrounding the borrow pit, 4 new monitoring wells have been installed (Well-1 through
Well-4). The wells were surveyed to State Plane coordinates and NAVD 88 elevation. Well
locations are shown on the attached Wetland Flog Location Map. Water levels in the wells
are to be measured from the top of the PVC casing quarterly. All water measurements shall
be recorded on the corresponding weekly inspection checklist.
Wetlands Monitoring
The wetland areas adjacent to the borrow pit have been flagged and mapped (see attached
Wetland Flog Location Map). These areas and the adjacent ditches are to be visually
inspected for signs of vegetative stress or abnormality and water level/flow within the ditches
on a weekly basis. All observations from the weekly wetland inspections shall be recorded on
the weekly inspection form.

Stormwater Qualitative Inspection Monitoring
Stormwater qualitative inspection monitoring shall be conducted at the outfall from Mining
Pit 1 weekly and during any storm event greater than 0.10 inches, Qualitative inspection
monitoring shall include descriptions and observations made at the outfali and include: Color;
odor; clarity; floating solids; suspended solids; foam; oil sheen; indications of sediment
deposition; indications of erosion; and any other obvious indication of stormwater pollution.
If no discharge occurs for that period, the form shall be filled out as "no flow." All weekly
qualitative inspections shall be recorded on the attached Stormwater Discharge Outfall
(SDO) Qualitative Inspection Monitoring form and kept on file in the scale house, if obvious
indications of turbidity, erosion or sedimentation are observed, perform maintenance as
necessary.
Storm water Analytical Monitoring
Stormwater analytical monitoring shall be conducted at the outfall from Mining Pit 1 semi-
annually during a representative storm event that causes discharge. Samples for Settleable
Solids and Total Suspended Solids shall be collected and sent to an offsite laboratory for
analysis. Field measurements of turbidity shall also be collected at the outfall during these
events. Total Rainfall, Event Duration, and Total Flow shall also be recorded on the
Stormwater Discharge Outfall (SDO) Qualitative Inspection Monitoring form. Semi-annual
analytical data and rainfall data will be recorded on a Discharge Monitoring Form and kept on
file in the scale house. However, if any parameter benchmark is'exceeded for a semi-annual
event, a Stormwater Exceedence DMR form will be forwarded to the Regional DWQoffice
within 30 days of receipt of the analytical data. Analytical results for the semi-annual events
will be compiled in an Annual Discharge Monitoring Form for submittal to the Central DWQ
office by March 1 of the following year.
Semi-annual stormwater samples shall be collected between January 1—June 30 and July 1--
December 31, with a minimum of 60 days between samples.
Mine Dewatering Discharge Analytical Monitoring
In addition to the semi-annual stormwater monitoring, quarterly analytical sampling must be
conducted at the outfall to monitor general effluent quality from the dewatering activities.
Samples are to be collected and analyzed for pH, Settleable Solids, Total Suspended Solids,
and Turbidity. Total dewatering volume for the date of sample collection must also be
recorded. Pump volume can be estimated from pump hour recordings from'Table 1 and
pump curves.
Quarterly effluent analytical data will be recorded on a Discharge Monitoring Form and will
be kept on file in the scale house. However, if any parameter limit is exceeded, or a violation
is found for any quarterly event, an Effluent Exceedence DMR form will be forwarded to the
Regional DWQ office within 30 days of receipt of the analytical data. Analytical results for the
quarterly events will be compiled in an Annual Discharge Monitoring Form for submittal to
the Central DWQ office by March 1 of the following year.

NCG020000 and O & M Plan
Revised We 11/24/10
This document is not meant to be all inclusive or meant to be required for every mine
site. It is for information and guidance only. While a lot of components of the BMP
plans may be alike regardless of the mine, the O & M Plan is site specific. To help DWQ
reviewers and those who are attempting to develop O & M Plans for permittees, this
information was compiled as guidance for the development of O & M plans.
Compliance with Part II Section A: Requirements to Construct New or Expanding
Treatment Facilities. Should the proposed mine utilize a process recycle wastewater
system, an Authorization to Construct will be necessary. The permittee must meet the
requirements for operation of this treatment facility per Part 11 Section B.
Compliance with Part III: Monitoring, Controls, and Limitations for Permitted
Discharges. Section A of Part III requires the permittee to develop and implement a
stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs) Pian. This requires a written plan that
can be easily followed, understood or implemented by quarry employees. The BMPs
plan should address items I through 6 in Section A of Part III. In order to be sure that all
areas of concern are addressed, the plan should follow the Table of Contents as closely as
possible. DWQ reviewers should compare the BMP plan to the table of contents
provided in the permit to determine whether proposed BMPs are adequate. They should
include (but in no way are limited to) a thorough inspection and maintenance plan;
preventative maintenance and good housekeeping measures, spill control and cleanup
measures; stormwater management requirements; and the requirement that erosion and
sedimentation control (E&SC) measures in the mining permit or E&SC plan approved by
the Division of Land Resources be implemented.
Compliance with Section C Part 1111. Through 6.: Effluent Limitations and
Monitoring Requirements for Mine Dewatering Wastewater and Process
Wastewater. This section of the permit requires permittees to provide an Operation and
Monitoring Plan. The Plan must be able to demonstrate the effect of pumping and, as
necessary, establish the pumping regime necessary to reduce the potential impacts to
adjacent wetlands. Please refer to Page 5 of 9 Part III of the NPDES NCG020000 Permit
Conditions. The following bulleted items can be used as a guide for developing an
appropriate O & M Plan (O&M), however, each plan is site specific and the list is not all
inclusive due to specific characteristics of the site. Prior to constructing the mine and
definitely before any dewatering activities occur, the plan must be in writing and
reviewed by DWQ.
• A wetland delineation is required to identify all surface waters including wetlands
in the vicinity of the mine. (Not just whether there are wetlands within the mining
boundary). The USACOE is the only entity certified to provide a delineation.
Qualified consultants may present their calls on the plan, but the Corp must stamp
the delineation for any certified calls.

• Site Map: This map should provide significant detail. The map should indicate
the landscape and position of all wetlands (based on the delineation), ditches,
proposed well placement, borrow areas, overburden storage, vehicle maintenance
areas, mining roads, buffers, rain gauges, fuel and bulk fuel storage areas,
buildings and other impervious structures, stormwater controls and the mine
footprint.
• Identify which of the three (3) types of discharge (stormwater, mine dewatering,
and process wastewater overflow) will be present. Identify all discharge points
from the mine and indicate the type of discharge. For process wastewater or mine
dewatering, the anticipated rate of discharge is needed. How will the mine site be
graded and how will stormwater be managed within the pit and along the mine
site boundaries. (O&M)
• Provide design specifications for settling basins used to reduce turbidity and TSS
prior to discharge. If level spreaders are used, be sure to construct them according
to the level spreader guidance provided by the Division at:
http://h2o.enr.state.ne.us/su/documents/LeveISpreaderGuidance_Final_-3.pdf .
The plan should clearly identify which surface waters may be impacted, the
classification of those water(s) and ensure the discharge from the mine will not
cause an exceedance of the water quality standards for that surface water. What
size storm event have the settling ponds and retention pond been designed for?
(For example, the I0-year, 24-hour event?) Provide calculations to support that
storage ponds will be able to hold run-off from the design storm, as well as the
mining operation process wastewater. Is this the only place where stormwater
will discharge from this site. Identify any flocculants or chemicals proposed for
use at the site to enhance settling. (O&M)
• A cone of influence is be provided for mines intending to dewater from the pit.
Present all wetlands or other surface waters of the State within cone of depression.
Provide all assumptions used for determining this radius of influence around the
mining site (DWQ reviewers, may request assistance from the Division of Water
Resources Group as necessary). Once the zone of influence is determined,
identify the wetlands in the impact area and locate additional monitoring wells
(MW) and BMP's accordingly. (O&M) This can be used to present that no
impacts will occur to wetlands or other waters of the state. A radius of 400 feet
from the edge of the excavation area has been set as the area to evaluate.
• Please provide data or other information about how seasonal changes in the water
table relative to the wetlands and their jurisdictional status have been evaluated.
(O&M) This may require some monitoring of shallow wells within the wetlands
before dewatering can occur.
• If the mining application indicates the wetlands will be protected through the use
of ponds, level spreaders, or ditches, but there are no calculations or models to
support this claim, require the permittee to provide additional technical
information and calculations to support that these techniques will protect the
surrounding hydrology.
• Clearly indicate the amount of buffer to be established around the mine footprint
edge and the respective wetland edges. Are the wetlands located within this
buffer and will they be drained from the hydraulic gradient change and pumping

of the mine? Wider buffers than those imposed by Land Quality may be
necessary as an added measure of safety to minimize wetland impacts. DWQ can
request wider buffers (Land Quality usually imposes a 25' — 50' buffer).
• Well installation: The placement of wells may be placed within the mine site
property boundary (if isolated wetlands or wetlands within the mine boundary
exist) and within the cone of depression (if wetlands fall within this zone).
Provide details on installation, data loggers, well maintenance schedule and
activities and depths of wells, when necessary. Wells must be properly installed
and properly maintained throughout the active life of the mine, through
reclamation efforts, and for 5 years after the Division of Land Resources releases
the site and determines the mine site has been reclaimed unless otherwise
approved in writing by NCDWQ. The plan must include wetland monitoring
such that data may be collected to insure that wetlands are adequately monitored
and demonstrate the activities are not impacting surface waters.
• Monitoring. All analytical and qualitative monitoring for mine dewatering
wastewater, stormwater and process wastewater associated with sand/gravel
mining must be in accordance with the NCG020000 permit. Monitoring in the
wetlands prior to mine site operation will be a requirement in order to establish
the hydrology of the wetland. Rain guage data must be collected. Maintenance of
the rain guage and monitoring frequency must be identified in the plan. Physical
monitoring of wetlands to reaffirm the presence of the jurisdictional wetland line
and soils, as well as for instability, erosion, sloughing, subsidence, collapse,
newly formed sinkholes, wetland vegetation degradation, flooding of wetlands
from.discharge activities and/or removal of the hydrology of wetlands. This
monitoring may be accomplished by inspection of the wetland areas while
conducting well maintenance efforts. Specifically, once the monitoring wells
locations are approved monitoring must occur prior to the time of construction
and through the duration of the time the site is being mined and for 5 years after
(for major mines) the mining efforts have been completed unless otherwise
approved in writing by NCDWQ. The plan should include the frequency of well
data collection and all inspections. All data should be clearly documented and
reported according to the permit, and the written O & M plan.
• Data Analyses. Provide an explanation of how monitoring data will be analyzed
to determine whether the wetland hydrology is removed or being maintained. If
monitoring results indicate impacts to the avoided wetlands, explain how these
impacts may be abated. How will data be analyzed to determine or demonstrate
what effects pumping and dewatering are having, and propose pumping regimes
necessary to reduce impacts to wetlands. More extensive pumping test data
should be included.

Nov 2, 2006
NCG020000 General Permit for Mining Activities
SECTION C: Effluent limitations and monitoring requirements for thine dewatering
wastewater and process wastewater
1.) Mine Dewatering Wastewater
Mine dewatering activities that have the potential to drain wetlands must have
secured and implemented an Operations and Monitoring Plan approved by the
Division.
O-& M Plans shall include, but are not limited to:
• Groundwater monitoring strategies to demonstrate the effect of pumping
and, as necessary, establish the pumping regime necessary to reduce impacts.
• . Detailed plans to maintain the surrounding hydrology and the respective
monitoring to demonstrate compliance.
Key pieces of information that is required before any of the above can be adequately
developed:
1 . Determine the amount of wastewater expected to be discharged daily as a
result of mine dewatering. This can be calculated.
2. Determine cone of influence from mine dewatering. This will be meaningless
unless they conduct pump tests to determine the characteristics of the aquifer
(such as K (hydraulic conductivity), T (transmissivity), S (storativity) and P
(permeability)) in which they are mining. Many consultants try to use text book
values for those characterstics based on the types of soils they either believe are
there or have been identified by well borings. That can be misleading.
Example: One mine used assumed values for T and K to determine the cone of
influence. 'Their first try gave a result of 1800'. After being asked to determine
that value from pump tests they modified that figure to 2722. The Division of
Water Resources reviewed a drawdown vs. time curve and found the consultant
read the graphical depiction in error and asked for a recalculation using the
corrected values.. the cone of influence increased to 5700' and finally the
Division of Water Resources used their pump test data to calculate the aquifer
characteristics and their value was 7200'. Alter some negotiations with the
consultant concerning the calculations, 6200' was agreed upon.
Once the cone of influence is known, the consultant can propose a meaningful O & M
plan including monitoring well locations- Where should they be located? Along the edge
of the WETLAND BOUNDARIES within the cone of influence on and off their property
houndaries. How will they know where wetlands are?

3. Request a wetland delineation. Why a delineation rather than a determination?
What is the difference? Delineation is outlining the boundaries of a wetland
determination on aerial photography, digital imagery, other graphic representation
of the area, or on the land. - If wetlands are in close proximity to the mining site
itself, how will the hired help know they are maintaining appropriate buffers as
?vspecified iti the mining pet-mit? Makes sense if they are required to ensure
L
`, kv' VV wetland hydrology is not being affected. How will they know where to put the
�UJr- , -'Q monitoring wells? Wetlands determination is a decision whether or not an area is
a wetland, including identification of wetland type and size.
� �r4. Determine existing and seasonal wetland hydrology. A reasonable amount of
,Vk�" time for monitoring to establish wetland hydrology should be provided. .
What are some of the factors that can affect the hydrology of a wetland?
� irk Rain (or lack oo, groundwater fluctuations, flooding, vegetative uptake,
j topography etc. etc. Seasons with unusual rain or drought. , this suggest long
term monitoring (years) which the consultant will absolutely not be willing to do.
What can we ask for to resolve this problem? Hire a registered soil scientist to
determine the seasonal high water mark.
5. Components of Wetland Monitoring Plan within the O&M plan: Must
demonstrate their ability to protect the wetlands within the cone of influence.
Some of the components you might expect are (but not limited to):
a. Map with landscape positions of all wetlands, ditches, well placements,
borrow areas, overburden storage, stormwater controls, vehicle
maintenance areas, settling basins, product process areas, access roads...
b. We] I infomnation —design, depths, and maintenance.
C. Physical monitoring for the wetland areas — wetland instability, erosion,
sloughing, sediment, sinkholes, removal of hydrology or flooding from
dewatering the mine, types and health of vegetation and the monitoring
frequency for said parameters.
d. Settling Ponds for sediment prior to dewatering, are they large enough to
provide adequate settling based on size given Qin, Qout, is stonnwater and fir'
process wastewater being commingled in the pond? , . h6\
e. How will the dewatering be conducted? Use of level spreader (they �
should include the design)? Ditches (be careful)? Water cannons? Is the
wastewater from dewatering going to be used to maintain wetland
hydrology? How is that accomplished? How will they avoid erosion or
flooding of the wetland? How will the water make it to the wetland
areas? How much water per day per acre is proposed? What will the
-,
impact sr be to the wetlands?

SIC (Standard Industrial Classification) Code -14XX Mineral Mining Industry (except as specified below)
The following activities are also included:
• Active or inactive mining operations (including Morrow pits —except for NCDOT borrow pits) that discharge
stormwater contaminated with or that has come in contact with, any overburden, raw material, intermediate
products, finished products, byproducts or waste products located on the site of such operations-,
• Stormwater from vehicle maintenance activities at mining operations;
• Overflow from facilities that recycle process wastewater; and/or
• Mine dewatering (wastewater)
The following activities are specifically excludecl from coverage under this General Permit:
• Stormwater discharges associated with peat mining, coal mining, and metal mining;
• Stormwater discharges from mining operations which are intermixed on site with stormwater from asphalt
operations and/or concrete operations;
• Stormwater discharges associated with oil and gas extraction operations; and
• Stormwater discharges associated with tourist gem mines
• NCDOT borrow pits are covered under NCS000150
The following discharges are coved by NPDES general nermft NC!2520000 instead of NCG020000:
• Point source discharges of stormwater and wastewater from in -stream sand mining operations (i.e., sand
dredging or dipping operations)
For new mining sites that require an authorization to construct (ATC) wastewater treatment facllities: This
NOI is also an APPLICATION FOR an ATC for new wastewater treatment facilities. ATC requests must be
submitted at least 90 days prior to construction'.
For xg 'stlna mining sites that require an Authorization to Operate (A TO) wastewater treatment facilities.
This NOI is also an APPLICATION FOR an ATO for wastewater treatment facilities in place.
Construction,_msrdlfica�on, or lns�IlatioUfany new treatment components at an existino site requires an
ATC. (If the site is already covered by NCG020000, the ATC request may be submitted without an NOI).
Some wastewater treatment facilities used to treat or recycle wastewater at mining sites will require an ATC ri r
to construction per 15A NCAC 2H .0138. Please seethe NCG020000 General Permit for details about which
treatment facilities require an ATC (summarized In Table 1 below). The authorization to construct or continue
to operate will be issued at the same time as the Certificate of Coverage (COC) for the NCG02 permit. Design of
treatment facilities must comply with requirements of 15A NCAC 2H .0138 8 .0139.
Construction of wastewater treatment facilities subject to the ATC/ATO requirements in the NCG02 permit
at new or existing mining sites requires submission of three (3) sets of plans and specifications signed

Comment: This was a training inspection by Gary Novak and myself due to question
of seeping of ground water adjacent to the bermed stilling pond.
Mr. Innes and his mine manager presented the seeping and the outfall and no problems
were observed.
I explained on site to Mr. Innes that since the O&M Plan and dewatering permitting had
been previously obtained, no violations were observed (If the site was not adequately
permitted, the violations could amount to as much as $25,000 per day, per violation).

Re: Cheshire Meadows Mine - 27-48 - Amendments to Permit
Dear Nis. Wehner:
We seek to make two amendments to our mining permit:
FEB 2)5 2010
LAND QUALITY
MINING PROGRAM
We wish to dewater the excavation pit and store the water in an above -grade
holding pond we have constructed with berms which are approximately ten feet
high with a width at the base of approximately sixteen feet. We may also wish in
the future to dewater a second excavation pit by depositing the 'water in the first
excavation pit. I have checked with DWQ regarding whether any additional
application is necessary through their agency and have been advised that since we
will not be discharginb water off -site 15A NCAC 02`I'.01 13{a)(16) provides that
no additional permitting through DWQ is necessary.
We also request the ability to haul back from roadway, projects or other projects
clean material which has been excavated. We will likely store this material on
site to be sold at a later date. We would stockpile this material in the noted
stockpile areas shown on the attached reap.
Please treat this correspondence as a request for both of the above amendments to our
current reining permit. I have enclosed the $750 permit amendment fee as well as five copies of
this correspondence and the requested pages of the permit application and map. 'I'hank you for
taking the tirne to help us with this request.
Sincerely yours,
Jarnes B. Innes
