RE: Shingleton Farms Mine NPDES NCG 02 o963 RO('°jj44
RETURN NOTICE#1351
Pender County
Dear Mr. Lawyer,
On behalf of Mr. Farnell Shingleton, we are submitting an updated discharge permit Notice for
General Permit for mines under NCGo20000. As we received your letter to Mr.Shingleton dated
September 20,2023,we have prepared a fully revised package that includes the latest review by the
Mining Program for the current modification to the mine. The mine was last approved in 2o2r for
a minor modification of 9 additional acres, and we are submitting another modification for 5 acres.
We submitted the NPDES NOI application in May 2020,but even then,Mr.Shingleton thought he
was approved for discharge when he first permitted his mine in 2017. We're not sure why the
application process took this amount of time,but regardless of permit coverage, we have proposed
adequate erosion control and dewatering practices to reduce or eliminate any or all sediment runoff
from entering the downstream waters and wetlands since discharging or dewatering began.
You have requested we submit an updated application,pumping plan,and site plans to match
current conditions,which we have included. Please review the attached documents and let us know
if you have any questions or need additional information.
Regards;
Dogwood LD,PLLC
