COC NCGO20859
Onslow County
In accordance with your application for a discharge permit received on February 17,
2014, we are forwarding herewith the subject certificate of coverage to discharge under the
subject state - NPDES general permit. This permit is issued pursuant to the requirements of
North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and the Memorandum of Agreement between North
Carolina and the US Environmental Protection Agency dated October 15, 2007 (or as
subsequently amended).
This certificate of coverage is not transferable. if the facility changes ownership or is
closed, the Division of Energy Mineral & Land Resources may require modification, revocation
or reissuance of the certificate of coverage.
Please be aware that mine dewatering at your site has the potential to impact adjacent
wetlands. The specific requirements for mine dewatering at facilities near wetlands can be
found in Part I11, Section E of your permit. You must have an approved Operation and
Monitoring Plan before mine dewatering discharges occur_at your facility. Discharging
mine dewatering wastewater without Plan approval will be subject to enforcement action. An
Operation and Monitoring Plan for your facility must be submitted to the Wilmington Regional
Office within 60 days of your receipt of this permit. Contact Dan Sams at the Wilmington
Regional Office at [phone] for more information about the approval process.

Thanks for the clarification, Jim B. l don't know much about this project except that Larry gave me to folder to issue

Dear Mr. Bennett,
OUR,
FEB 1 7 -2 F7
Re: Howard Pit NPDES Permit
Application
I am respectfully submitting an application for an NPDES
discharge permit for a borrow pit in Onslow County. I have been in
contact with Dan Sams of the Wilmington Regional office in regards to
the new operation and discharge permit requirements.
An on -site determination of potential jurisdictional features was
performed by the Land Management Group which determined that wetlands
are located within the proposed permitted area. I have included the
sketch from LMG regarding this delineation in this submittal. The
location of the wetlands and the proposed buffers are also shown on
the enclosed site plan.
Barnhill Contracting Company proposes to pump water from a rim
ditch into the dewatering basin as shown on the mine map during Phase
I. This basin has been designed for a 1,000 gallons per min pump and a
detention time of 2 days. Once Phase I is mined out, it will then be
used for storage of dewatering from the Phase II mining area. Water
will be pumped into the basin and pond utilizing a 6" submersible pump
(Thompson Pump Model 46HST) at an average rate of approximately 650
gallons per minute. This pit will be operated for Barnhill
Contracting projects only and will -not be run on a continual basis.
Use will be determined by demand for sandfor local projects. Because
of the nature of this work, withdrawal rates and discharge will vary
%EqAtly from month to month. We intend to dewater only when we are
actively mining sand and not on a continuous basis. During times of
mining we will typically work 12 hour days and pump during those
times. Therefore, any discharges will be kept to a minimum. We have
also received a CCRCUA withdrawal,permit through division of Water
Resources since this site is within Onslow County.
Erosion control measures will be installed onsite prior to any
land disturbance taking place. Please reference the site plan for a
more detailed depiction of these measures. Any water within the

mining area will be directed to drain towards the pit. There are also
diversion ditches with check dams along both sides of the haul road to
control runoff from this area.
I have contacted Dan Sams in the Wilimington Regional office
prior to submitting this Notice of Intent. We have discussed the
operation and intent and I will also submit an operations and
Monitoring Plan to his attention.
Please find enclosed one (1) original and two (2) copies of the
NPDES Notice of Intent Permit Application and supporting documents.
Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Yours Very Truly,
Barnhill Contracting Company

RE: Howard Pit
Onslow County
Operations and Monitoring Plan
Dear Mr. Bennett:
We are submitting an Operations and Monitoring Plan for the Howard Pit in Onslow County,
North Carolina based on our conversation February 11, 2014, to ensure that any dewatering activities that
may occur in correlation with mining activities shall not have any adverse effects on any nearby
jurisdictional wetlands that may be present on the property. Reference is made to the site plan that
accompanies this Operations and Monitoring Plan, which illustrates the mining activities as they shall
occur on the site.
The type of discharge that will be present on the site will be mine dewatering. Reference is made
to the site plan that illustrates the points of discharge from the mine. Barnhill Contracting Company
proposes to dewater mining operations through the following sequence of events:
1) Erosion Control items will be installed prior to any mining activities on the site. Sediment Basins
and Diversion Ditches will be installed per plan design before mining activities begin in the
mining area.
2) Mining will begin in on the most western edge of the mine nearest the property line. Any topsoil
in this area will be stripped and incorporated into the stockpile area as shown. The topsoil within
this area will be used to build any slopes after mining this area. The topsoil stockpile will be
seeded as needed to stabilize. We will strip areas as mining progresses to prevent unnecessary
erosion from occurring. Diversion ditches will be utilized to divert shed water towards the
sediment basin.
3) As mining activities extend below the water table, water will be pumped as needed into the borrow
pit dewatering basin. As water is pumped into the basin, it will dewater through a riser and onto a
rip rap outlet pad as shown on the plan. This discharge will then dissipate through the 50'
undisturbed buffer to the on -site wetland.
4) After all mining activities in Phase 1 are complete, remaining topsoil stockpiled will be used to
build the finished slopes of the pond to a grade of 3:1 or flatter above the water table, and
permanently seeded.

5) Mining will then begin in the Phase 11 area in the same manner. Topsoil will be stripped as
needed and stockpiled as mining progress. As mining activities extend below the water table in
this area, water will be pumped into the existing dewatering basin. We will also use the newly
created pond for storage of pumped water from the new mining area. Pumping will be shared
between the on -site pond and dewatering basin as needed to ensure that discharge is kept to a
minimum, if any at all.
6) After all mining activities in the 15.0 acre area are complete, any remaining topsoil stockpiled will
be used to build the slopes of the pond to a grade of 3:1 or flatter above the water table, and
permanently seeded.
The proposed operation has been designed so that any overflow from dewatering activities or
extreme rainfall events will take a natural course to the closest wetland. Water will be pumped at a rate
not to exceed 936,000 gallons per day, as dictated by our CCPCUA withdrawal permit, utilizing a
Thompson 6" submersible pump (model 46HS'f or comparable). The estimated volume of water
withdrawal from dewatering activities will be recorded. Storm water will be managed within the pit
utilizing silt fence, diversion ditches, sediment basins, buffers, and berms when topsoil is available.
Reference is made to the site plan, which illustrates the design specifications and size of the sediment
basin.
There will be an undisturbed buffer established between the mine footprint edges and the
jurisdictional wetland edge. The 50' undisturbed buffer along the edge of the mine limits will be
adequately marked with orange safety fence to ensure that heavy equipment does not enter into this area
and land disturbing activities do not occur.
Barnhill Contracting Company will work to inspect and monitor the jurisdictional features that
appear within the property boundary daily, during times that pumping and discharge are occurring.
Barnhill Contracting Company will inspect and monitor the features to reaffirm the presence of the
jurisdictional feature and soils, as well as, for the instability, erosion, sloughing, subsidence, collapse,
newly formed sinkholes, wetland vegetation degradation, and/or flooding of ditch from discharge
activities. Barnhill Contracting Company does not foresee any impacts to the adjacent features or
wetlands, but will secure the appropriate 401 Permit if the need arises.
Together with data collected by NCDENR- Division of Water Quality from their inspections,
Barnhill Contracting Company and NCDENR- Division of Water Quality can determine if there are any
detrimental impacts to the property's jurisdictional features. During inspections conducted by Barnhill
Contracting Company, if there are any detrimental impacts to the property's wetlands discovered, Barnhill
Contracting Company will immediately cease dewatering activities, and report the discovery to
NCDENR- Division of Water Quality Washington Regional Office. Together, Barnhill Contracting
Company and NCDENR- Division of Water Quality will determine how these impacts can be abated.
Should you require any additional information, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Yours very truly,
Barnhill Contracting Company
