The Stormmwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) was reviewed. There should be a statement in the SPPP that there havelhave not been any spills for the last 3 years. Also, there is no official employee training, but instead verbal training which has been conducted for the employees which consist of Tony Harris and the Plant Manager. There should be written documentation of employee training on an annual basis. The two Basins are not installed yet for dewatering purposes, therefore Analyticaland Qualitative monitoring has not been initiated. The 5 monitoring wells and the "Control" monitoring well have been installed but are currently under water and inaccessible due to the effect of a nearby road project. Prior to installation of the two Basins and the discharge of wastewater, all monitoring wells will need to be operational for a year in order to collect sufficient background hydrological data. When the Analytical and Qualitative monitoring of the wastewater discharges occurs, this will need to be conducted on a quarterly basis. There is a visual screening berm which was recently installed adjacent to Carlos Road. This berm will need to have permanent groundcover installed on it for stabilization purposes.

At the time of the inspection, the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) was not available for review but was emailed to the Inspectors at a later date. In reviewing the received SPPP, it appeared to include most of the applicable required components which are stipulated in the General Permit NCG 020000. Training is not being documented on an annual basis. There should be included in the SPPP documentation of the Annual Review of the SPPP with a date and signature for 2015, 2016 and 2017. There are no outfalls at this mine and no dewatering is taking place because the mine has been under reclamation for the last few years. The Waste Water Annual Discharge Monitoring Report Forms (DMR) were reviewed. Records were available for February - May 2018 with No Discharges noted. No records were available for review for 2017. According to General Permit NCG020000 there needs to be a minimum of 60 days separating the monitoring dates. A tour of the mine was conducted. The mine is currently in the process of being reclaimed and appears in stable condition.

Background: The NPDES General Stormwater Permit for Mining (NCG0200) addresses impacts of mine dewatering wastewater pumping and discharge on surrounding areas, including potential impacts to wetlands. The NPDES Permit requires that the mine have a site specific plan for, 1) groundwater monitoring strategies to demonstrate the effect of pumping and establish any pumping regime necessary to reduce potential impacts to surrounding areas, and 2) detailed plans to maintain surrounding hydrology and respective monitoring to demonstrate compliance. In order to develop these plans, certain site -specific parameters must be understood. First, any wetlands that may be potentially impacted must be delineated according to US Army Corps of Engineers criteria. Second, an evaluation of potential impacts of groundwater levels must be conducted. This should include an examination of soil types, permeability, and various zones of groundwater within the zone of influence. Third, based on the groundwater data, an assessment of potential impacts to the wetlands by mine dewatering should be estimated. Finally, based on the potential impact, a plan should be developed to limit as well as monitor the potential impacts to the wetlands. The Operation and Monitoring (O&M) Plan is developed prior to any discharge of mine dewatering wastewater. Site description: The Bailey Mine is a sand mine located in Cumberland County NC, near the Linden Community. The property consists of 228.39 acres located north of the intersection of Carlos Road and Durant Nixon Road. The site is mostly cleared field, with some wooded areas. The sand being mined is an alluvial deposit associated with the Cape Fear River. The areas to be mined are all "upland" areas with the site being designed to maintain a minimum 50-foot undisturbed buffer between any land disturbance and any wetlands. The natural groundwater levels within the mining area are over 8 feet from the surface. The sand deposit being mined is an alluvial deposit consisting of a coarsening -downward sequence of sediments, ranging from a silty sand to a coarse sand and gravel. Wetland description: The wetlands around the mining area were identified according to US Army Corps of Engineers standards. Hydrophytic vegetation is prevalent, and hydric soil and wetland hydrology are present, according to the USACE criteria. Depth to water table was within 6 inches from the surface at the time of the delineation. The wetland limits (boundary) are clearly delineated on the enclosed site map as the "dotted" pattern. Pumping and mine dewatering: As described in the original NPDES application and on the site plan, it is expected that mine dewatering discharge will not be required in this operation in the initial stages. Any water that collects within the mining areas will be utilized in dust suppression and in the plant processes. For this reason, the pump for this site has not yet been obtained. However, it is anticipated that the pump that will be used will be a 6 or 8-inch pump, with a capacity of 1,250 — 2,800 gpm. The pump will be operated during normal operating hours of the mine. Impact of dewatering on adjacent wetlands: Based on the soil borings and investigations, the soils within the wetlands and the soils in the mining area are very different. A dense and virtually impermeable clay layer underlies the hydric soils within the wetlands, while soils in the sand mining area consists of very permeable sand. The impermeable clay in the wetlands holds the near - surface water in a concave "perched" condition, thereby supporting the wetland vegetation and hydrology. This observation is supported by the remarkable difference in the existing groundwater levels in the two areas. The "perched" water table in the wetland areas is within 6 inches from the surface, while groundwater levels in the mining areas are over 8 feet. Therefore, there appears to be no connection between the groundwater in the sand mine and the near -surface groundwater that provides hydration to the wetlands. The hydration of the wetlands is accomplished by surface water from rainwater runoff and occasional flooding of the wetland area, and not from the deeper groundwater found in the sand mine. Therefore, the mine dewatering will have no impact on adjacent wetlands. Monitoring: Based on the observed disconnection between the water within the mining area and the surrounding wetlands, it is anticipated that any potential dewatering at this mine will have no impact on the adjacent wetlands. In order to confirm that there are no impact to the wetlands, a monitoring plan should be established as a precaution. 1. Five shallow monitoring wells will be placed within the wetland areas surrounding the mining areas, as indicated on the site plan. These wells will be placed no deeper than 24 inches, and sealed to prevent surface runoff from entering. These wells will be measured on a monthly basis to observe any fluctuations in water levels. In addition, one additional well will be placed several hundred feet from the mining area as a "control", to observe any natural fluctuations due to drought or other natural causes. These wells will be installed as soon as possible so that background information can be collected prior to commencement of actual Mine Dewatering Discharges. If any significant drop in water levels are observed within the monitoring wells adjacent to the mining areas, and is not seen in the control well, then dewatering discharges will be temporarily stopped while further study is done to determine the cause of the drop. The operator shall maintain records of the monthly measurements. These records shall be submitted to NCDENR-Fayetteville Regional Office on a semi-annual basis. 2. Mine dewatering wastewater discharges should be quantitatively and qualitatively monitored according to requirements of the NPDES permit. See the "Monitoring Requirements" in the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan. 3, The Discharge Point should be examined weekly to make sure that it is functioning as designed and that no sediment has discharged into the wetland. 4. A written record shall be kept of pumping times and rates. A record of rainfall shall also be kept in the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan, 5. The wells will be installed as soon as this O&M Plan is approved, and prior to any dewatering activity. This will provide background data. After water is discharged from the mine, monitoring will continue for up to 3 years, or until NCDENR-DWQ determines that it is acceptable to reduce monitoring frequency or cease altogether. 6. The wells should be inspected at the same time that the water levels are measured. If they need repair or maintenance or replacement, this should be noted in the log and performed as soon as possible. CAROLINA GEOLOGICAL SERVICES, INC. April 2, 2013 Mr. Mike Lawyer NCDENR, Div of Water Quality Fayetteville Regional Office 225 Green St, Suite 714 Fayetteville, NC 28301 Subject: Bailey Mine, Cumberland County, O&M Plan Dear Mr. Lawyer; DENR~ FRr AN ,0 8 2013 Do Thank you for reviewing the information we recently sent you regarding the draft O&M Plan for the Bailey Mine, American Materials Company, Linden, Cumberland County. In your e-mail, you asked several questions regarding our draft. "Other than the two basins currently shown o the mine map, will there be other basins installed as mining area expands and if so where?" -As explained in the Mine Plan narrative, there will be no discharge of any stormwater from this site. All stormwater runoff from the Mining Area will be held in the pit. The two basins shown are not stormwater basins. They are settling basins for mine dewatering. As explained in the Mine Plan, it is anticipated that mine dewatering will not be required in the early stages of mine development. However, if the need arises to dewater the mine, the water will be pumped from the mine, into these basins, then allowed to discharge into the wetland areas. Since these two basins only serve as discharge points for the mining area, there is no need for more than these two points. "Any consideration to placement of a monitoring well in the wetland area adjacent to the Plant/stockpile area?" -The plan has been revised to add an additional well to this area. "I would like to see something in the O&M Plan regarding maintenance/replacement of the monitoring wells should there be a need" -The O&M plan has been revised to include a provision for inspections and maintenance, repair, and replacement of the monitoring wells.

E-mail is acceptable for this." -The O&M Plan has been revised to include requirements of keeping the records of well measurements, as well as submittal of data on a semi-annual basis to the Regional Office. "Please include location of "control well" on mine map. " -A "Control Map" has been added to the O&M Plan Map "Determination of when monitoring may cease to be decided by DWQ Regional Office. We typically want to see monitoring data for 2-3 years prior to our determination. " -We have revised the O&M Plan to address this concern. Please find attached the revised Draft O&M Plan to reflect these changes, as well as the revised Site Plan. I hope that this version will be closer to what DWQ is looking for. Again, I appreciate your help in reviewing this plan. If you have any further questions, please let me know. Sincerely, 0�__ _*// James C.

Impact of dewatering on adjacent wetlands: Based on the soil borings and investigations, the soils within the wetlands and the soils in the mining area are very different. A dense and virtually impermeable clay layer underlies the hydric soils within the wetlands, while soils in the sand mining area consists of very permeable sand. The impermeable clay in the wetlands holds the near - surface water in a concave "perched" condition, thereby supporting the wetland vegetation and hydrology. This observation is supported by the remarkable difference in the existing groundwater levels in the two areas. The "perched" water table in the wetland areas is within 6 inches from the surface, while groundwater levels in the mining areas are over 8 feet. Therefore, there appears to be no connection between the groundwater in the sand mine and the near -surface groundwater that provides hydration to the wetlands. The hydration of the wetlands is accomplished by surface water from rainwater runoff and occasional flooding of the wetland area, and not from the deeper groundwater found in the sand mine. Therefore, the mine dewatering will have no impact on adjacent wetlands. Monitoring: Based on the observed disconnection between the water within the mining area and the surrounding wetlands, it is anticipated that any potential dewatering at this mine will have no impact on the adjacent wetlands. In order to confirm that there are no impact to the wetlands, a monitoring plan should be established as a precaution. 1. Five shallow monitoring wells will be placed within the wetland areas surrounding the mining areas, as indicated on the site plan. These wells will be placed no deeper than 24 inches, and sealed to prevent surface runoff from entering. These wells will be measured on a monthly basis to observe any fluctuations in water levels. In addition, one additional well will be placed several hundred feet from the mining area as a "control", to observe any natural fluctuations due to drought or other natural causes. These wells will be installed as soon as possible so that background information can be collected prior to commencement of actual Mine Dewatering Discharges. If any significant drop in water levels are observed within the monitoring wells adjacent to the mining areas, and is not seen in the control well, then dewatering discharges will be temporarily stopped while further study is done to determine the cause of the drop. The operator shall maintain records of the monthly measurements. These records shall be submitted to NCDENR-Fayetteville Regional Office on a semi-annual basis. 2. Mine dewatering wastewater discharges should be quantitatively and qualitatively monitored according to requirements of the NPDES permit. See the "Monitoring Requirements" in the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan, 3. The Discharge Point should be examined weekly to make sure that it is functioning as designed and that no sediment has discharged into the wetland. 4. A written record shall be kept of pumping times and rates. A record of rainfall shall also be kept in the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan. 5. The wells will be installed as soon as this O&M Plan is approved, and prior to any dewatering activity. This will provide background data. After water is discharged from the mine, monitoring will continue for up to 3 years, or until NCDENR-DWQ determines that it is acceptable to reduce monitoring frequency or cease altogether. 6. The wells should be inspected at the same time that the water levels are measured. If they need repair or maintenance or replacement, this should be noted in the log and performed as soon as possible. DENR—FRO CAROLINA GEOLOGICAL SERVICES, INC.

Background: The NPDES General Stormwater Permit for Mining (NCG0200) addresses impacts of mine dewatering wastewater pumping and discharge on surrounding areas, including potential impacts to wetlands. The NPDES Permit requires that the mine have a site specific plan for, 1) groundwater monitoring strategies to demonstrate the effect of pumping and establish any pumping regime necessary to reduce potential impacts to surrounding areas, and 2) detailed plans to maintain surrounding hydrology and respective monitoring to demonstrate compliance. In order to develop these plans, certain site -specific parameters must be understood. First, any wetlands that may be potentially impacted must be delineated according to US Army Corps of Engineers criteria. Second, an evaluation of potential impacts of groundwater levels must be conducted. This should include an examination of soil types, permeability, and various zones of groundwater within the zone of influence. Third, based on the groundwater data, an assessment of potential impacts to the wetlands by mine dewatering should be estimated. Finally, based on the potential impact, a plan should be developed to limit as well as monitor the potential impacts to the wetlands. The Operation and Monitoring (O&M) Plan is developed prior to any discharge of mine dewatering wastewater. Site description: The Bailey Mine is a sand mine located in Cumberland County NC, near the Linden Community. The property consists of 228.39 acres located north of the intersection of Carlos Road and Durant Nixon Road. The site is mostly cleared field, with some wooded areas. The sand being mined is an alluvial deposit associated with the Cape Fear River. The areas to be mined are all "upland" areas with the site being designed to maintain a minimum 50-foot undisturbed buffer between any land disturbance and any wetlands. The natural groundwater levels within the mining area are over 8 feet from the surface. The sand deposit being mined is an alluvial deposit consisting of a coarsening -downward sequence of sediments, ranging from a silty sand to a coarse sand and gravel. Wetland description: The wetlands around the mining area were identified according to US Army Corps of Engineers standards. Hydrophytic vegetation is prevalent, and hydric soil and wetland hydrology are present, according to the USACE criteria. Depth to water table was within 6 inches from the surface at the time of the delineation. The wetland limits (boundary) are clearly delineated on the enclosed site map as the "dotted" pattern. Pumping and mine dewatering: As described in the original NPDES application and on the site plan, it is expected that mine dewatering discharge will not be required in this operation in the initial stages. Any water that collects within the mining areas will be utilized in dust suppression and in the plant processes. For this reason, the pump for this site has not yet been obtained. However, it is anticipated that the pump that will be used will be a 6 or 8-inch pump, with a capacity of 1,250 — 2,800 gpm. The pump will be operated during normal operating hours of the mine. Impact of dewatering on adjacent wetlands: Based on the soil borings and investigations, the soils within the wetlands and the soils in the mining area are very different. A dense and virtually impermeable clay layer underlies the hydric soils within the wetlands, while soils in the sand mining area consists of very permeable sand. The impermeable clay in the wetlands holds the near - surface water in a concave "perched" condition, thereby supporting the wetland vegetation and hydrology. This observation is supported by the remarkable difference in the existing groundwater levels in the two areas. The "perched" water table in the wetland areas is within 6 inches from the surface, while groundwater levels in the mining areas are over 8 feet. Therefore, there appears to be no connection between the groundwater in the sand mine and the near -surface groundwater that provides hydration to the wetlands. The hydration of the wetlands is accomplished by surface water from rainwater runoff and occasional flooding of the wetland area, and not from the deeper groundwater found in the sand mine. Therefore, the mine dewatering will have no impact on adjacent wetlands. Monitoring: Based on the observed disconnection between the water within the mining area and the surrounding wetlands, it is anticipated that any potential dewatering at this mine will have no impact on the adjacent wetlands. In order to confirm that there are no impact to the wetlands, a monitoring plan should be established as a precaution. 1. Four shallow monitoring wells will be placed within the wetland areas surrounding the mining areas, as indicated on the site plan. These wells will be placed no deeper than 24 inches, and sealed to prevent surface runoff from entering. These wells will be measured on a monthly basis to observe any fluctuations in water levels. In addition, one additional well will be placed several hundred feet from the mining area as a "control", to observe any natural fluctuations due to drought or other natural causes. These wells will be installed as soon as possible so that background information can be collected prior to commencement of actual Mine Dewatering Discharges. If any significant drop in water levels are observed within the monitoring wells adjacent to the mining areas, and is not seen in the control well, then dewatering discharges will be temporarily stopped while further study is done to determine the cause of the drop. 2. Mine dewatering wastewater discharges should be quantitatively and qualitatively monitored according to requirements of the NPDES permit. See the "Monitoring Requirements" in the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan. 3. The Discharge Point should be examined weekly to make sure that it is functioning as designed and that no sediment has discharged into the wetland. 4. A written record shall be kept of pumping times and rates. A record of rainfall shall also be kept in the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan. 5. The wells will be installed as soon as this O&M Plan is approved, and prior to any dewatering activity. This will provide background data. After water is discharged from the mine, monitoring will continue for one year. If, after one year, it can be demonstrated that the mine dewatering does not affect the water level within the wetlands, then monitoring will no longer be required. NCDENR�www�..... fly..

The plant and processing area will also be graded and seeded to prevent erosion. Any haul roads will be stabilized to prevent erosion and left for access to the property. i Sediment and Erosion Control GA NJ The mining areas will serve as the primary sediment and erosion control feature. After the Gravel Construction Entrances are established, excavation will begin in an initial mining areas just west of the Plant and Stockpile Area. Diversion berms will be established \{�� around the perimeter of the mining area and outside the 50-foot undisturbed buffer of the / ✓ �4. wetlands. This will prevent any sediment from leaving the disturbed area and entering the wetland area or leaving the disturbed area. The Visual Barrier Berms (as required by the Pt Jv County) will be established outside of the 50-foot undisturbed buffer along the property line, thereby preventing any sediment from leaving the permitted area. The Haul Roads cto r cam\ and Plant and Stockpile Area will then be cleared and graded to drain into the Mining Area e�oSo, excavations. The perimeter berms adjacent to the Haul Roads and Plant and Stockpile mph Area will be "notched" at approximately 200-foot intervals to allow runoff to pass from these areas into the mining area. The openings will be backfilled with rip -rap and #57 stone to prevent erosion. Runoff will be held within the Mining Areas until pumped out. Y n All Haul Roads will be graded to direct runoff back into the mining areas. Once the initial Mining Areas and Plant and Stockpile Areas are established, all future land disturbance will be a continuation of this process, with all runoff remaining within the mining area. When moving into a new mining area, an initial area of excavation will be established with a perimeter berm to prevent any sediment from leaving the disturbed area I mining area. As reining progresses, all runoff will remain within the mining area. No discharge of any water will be necessary in the early stages of this operation. Any water collected within the Mining Area will be utilized for dust suppression or in the washing process. After the Mining Area has expanded to a large enough size, some occasional discharge may be necessary. At that time, a temporary 30'x60' basin will constructed within the mining area. Any water pumped from active mining areas will pass through this basin before discharge. After mining is completed in the area of the discharge point, then the mining area will fill with water, and any discharge form other mining areas will pass through the large pond before discharge. 2-3 coarse aggregate Gravel Construction Entrance Detail 5p.
