JUN 2 6 Z019 June 11, 2019 LAND QUALITY MINING PROGRAM Ms. Judy Wehner NCDENR, Land Quality Section 1612 Mail Service Center Raleigh, INC 27699 Subject: Modification Permit# 16-44, Otway Sand Mine Dear Ms. Wehner; On behalf of Otway Sand Mine, Inc, I am responding to your letter of June 6, 2019, in which you requested additional information for your review of the above referenced mining permit modification. 1. Water is pumped from the current mining area into the previously mined area (pond). Much of the water simply flows back into the sandy soil. Any overflow from the pond flows through the basins shown on the previously approved mine plan. The current pump is a Cornell 6-STX, which operates approximately 4 hours per 24-hour day, and has a capacity of 2,000 gallons per minute in current configuration. 2. Application has been made with the Division of Water Resources for a CCPCUA permit. See attached application form. Please let me know if you have any questions or need additional information. Sincerely, James C. Izzell, Jr., PG PO Box 429 GARNER, NC 27529 Y .. � - � � � ', �_ �- - k � �- 7 i .. � i ♦ i (?

Otway Sand Mine Carteret County Please find attached a copy of the mining permit modification request for the above referenced project. The Otway Sand Mine located in Carteret County does not appear to have an unduly adverse effect on ground water supplies. However,this mine has not registered water withdrawals on an annual basis through the Central Coastal Plain Capacity Use Area(CCPCUA)program since 2013. This is an annual requirement if withdrawing water from 10,000 gpd to 100,000 gpd. If this mine starts to withdraw 100,000 gpd or more of water, they will need to obtain a CCPCUA water withdrawal permit. A Central Coastal Plain Capacity Use Area(CCPCUA)water withdrawal permit must be obtained from the Division of Water Resources if the withdrawal exceeds 100,000 gallons per day and occurs in Beaufort, Carteret, Craven, Duplin, Edgecombe, Greene, Jones, Lenoir, Martin, Onslow, Pamlico, Pitt, Washington, Wayne, or Wilson County.

This request does not add acreage to the permitted area but expands the "mining area" into a previous buffer area. This will add 4.15 acres to the "mining area". There are no wetlands or streams within this area. This modification request also includes allowing concrete to be brought onsite for crushing and recycling for re-sale. This will occur in the present "stockpile" area, so no new acreage is affected. Mining will continue as in the existing permit and will be contiguous to the existing mining area. All runoff remains within the mining area and ponds and is periodically pumped as necessary. Please let me know if you have any questions or need additional information. Sincerely�Z,4,%L�A � James C.

Note that all buffers must be located within the mining permit boundaries. How wide a buffer will be maintained between any mining activity and any mining permit boundary or right-of-way at this site? A minimum buffer of 25 feet is recommended,although a wider buffer may be needed depending on site conditions. Show all buffer locations and widths on the mine map(s). As shown on the Mine Map,a 25 foot undisturbed buffer and a 25-30 foot unexcavated buffer is maintained between the mining activity and mining permit boundary. b. A minimum 50 foot wide undisturbed buffer will be required between any land disturbing activities within the mining permit boundaries and any natural watercourses and wetlands unless smaller undisturbed buffers can be justified. Depending on site conditions,a buffer wider than 50 feet may be needed. How wide an undisturbed buffer will be maintained between any land disturbing activities within the mining permit boundaries and any natural watercourses and wetlands at this site? Show all buffer locations and widths on the mine map(s). There are no wetlands or streams onsite. 6. a. Describe methods to prevent landslide or slope instability adjacent to adjoining permit boundaries during mining.

Describe other methods to be taken during mining to prevent physical hazard to any neighboring dwelling house, public road, public, commercial or industrial building from any mine excavation. Locate all such structures on the mine map if they are within 300 feet of any proposed excavation. The proposed buffers in conjunction with the slopes will provide adequate protection to prevent hazards to dwellings,roads,and buildings. 8. Describe what kind of barricade will be used to prevent inadvertent public access along any high wall area and when it will be implemented. Vegetated earthen berms, appropriate fencing and adequate boulder barriers may be acceptable high wall barricades.A construction detail/cross-section and location of each type of barricade to be used must be indicated on the mine map(s). There are no high-walls in this mine plan. A gate at the mine entrance prevents inadvertent public access. -9- APPLICATION FOR A MINING PERMIT 9. Are acid producing minerals or soils present?
