Adam,
Please see attached 401 issued to 421 Sand Mine for approval of"After the Fact"impacts to
jurisdictional features within the existing Sand Mine. With regards to the proposed expansion/Tree
Shaker Sand Mine, DWR has received confirmation from the US Army Corps of Engineers that all
wetlands proposed to be impacted by the project are non jurisdictional wetlands, therefore no 401
certification is required. Pursuant to SL 2023-63, wetlands that are not considered Waters of the US
are no longer considered Waters of the State and therefore no authorization is required by DWR for
impacts to these wetlands.
With regards to previous DWR comments regarding the exceedances of 2L standards, Chloride
standards are specific to "discharges"and it is our understanding that the project does not propose
to create any storm water or wastewater discharges. DWR understands that DWM will continue to
address the site via their regulations which will address the groundwater standard exceedances.
Thanks,

421 Sand Mine
Corps Action ID#SAW-2022-01855
Dear Mr. Earp:
Attached hereto is a copy of Certification No. WQC006521 issued to Mr.Jeff Earp and 421 Sand LLC, dated
January 3, 2024. This approval is for the purpose and design described in your application.The plans and
specifications for this project are incorporated by reference as part of this Water Quality Certification. If
you change your project,you must notify the Division and you may be required to submit a new
application package with the appropriate fee. If the property is sold,the new owner must be given a copy
of this Certification and is responsible for complying with all conditions. [15A NCAC 02H .0507(d)(2)].
This Water Quality Certification does not relieve the permittee of the responsibility to obtain all other
required Federal,State, or Local approvals before proceeding with the project, including those required
by, but not limited to, Sediment and Erosion Control, Non-Discharge, Water Supply Watershed, and
Trout Buffer regulations.
This Water Quality Certification neither grants nor affirms any property right, license, or privilege in any
lands or waters, or any right of use in any waters. This Water Quality Certification does not authorize
any person to interfere with the riparian rights, littoral rights, or water use rights of any other person
and does not create any prescriptive right or any right of priority regarding any usage of water. This
Water Quality Certification shall not be interposed as a defense in any action respecting the
determination of riparian or littoral rights or other rights to water use. No consumptive user is deemed
by virtue of this Water Quality Certification to possess any prescriptive or other right of priority with
respect to any other consumptive user.
Upon the presentation of proper credentials,the Division may inspect the property.

This Water Quality Certification shall expire on the same day as the expiration date of the corresponding
Section 404 Permit. The conditions shall remain in effect for the life of the project, regardless of the
expiration date of this Water Quality Certification.
Non-compliance with or violation of the conditions herein set forth may result in revocation of this
Water Quality Certification for the project and may also result in criminal and/or civil penalties.
If you are unable to comply with any of the conditions of this Water Quality Certification you must notify
the Wilmington Regional Office within 24 hours(or the next business day if a weekend or holiday)from
the time the permittee becomes aware of the circumstances.
The permittee shall report to the Wilmington Regional Office any noncompliance with, and/or any
violation of, stream or wetland standards [15A NCAC 02B .0200] including but not limited to sediment
impacts to streams or wetlands. Information shall be provided orally within 24 hours (or the next
business day if a weekend or holiday)from the time the permittee became aware of the non-compliance
circumstances.
This approval and its conditions are final and binding unless contested [G.S. 143-215.5]. Please be aware
that impacting waters without first applying for and securing the issuance of a 401 Water Quality
Certification violates Title 15A of the North Carolina Administrative Code (NCAC) 2H .0500. Title 15A
NCAC 2H .0500 requires certifications pursuant to Section 401 of the Clean Water Act whenever
construction or operation of facilities will result in a discharge into navigable waters, including wetlands,
as described in 33 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 323. It also states any person desiring
issuance of the State certification or coverage under a general certification required by Section 401 of
the Federal Water Pollution Control Act shall file with the Director of the North Carolina Division of
Water Quality. Pursuant to G.S. 143-215.6A,these violations and any future violations are subject to a
civil penalty assessment of up to a maximum of$25,000.00 per day for each violation
This Certification can be contested as provided in Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes by
filing a Petition for a Contested Case Hearing (Petition) with the North Carolina Office of Administrative
Hearings (OAH)within sixty(60)calendar days. Requirements for filing a Petition are set forth in Chapter
150B of the North Carolina General Statutes and Title 26 of the North Carolina Administrative Code.
Additional information regarding requirements for filing a Petition and Petition forms may be accessed at
http://www.ncoah.com/or by calling the OAH Clerk's Office at [phone].
A party filing a Petition must serve a copy of the Petition on:
William F. Lane, General Counsel

1601 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, NC 27699-1601
If the party filing the Petition is not the permittee, then the party must also serve the recipient of the
Certification in accordance with N.C.G.S 15013-23(a).

1. The permittee shall report to the DWR Wilmington Regional Office any noncompliance with,
and/or any violation of, stream or wetland standards [15A NCAC 02B .0200], including but not
limited to sediment impacts to streams or wetlands. Information shall be provided orally within

detrimental impacts to water quality and avoiding impacts due to water pollution that precludes
any best use on a short-term or long-term basis.
2. No waste, spoil, solids, or fill of any kind shall occur in wetlands or waters beyond the footprint
of the approved impacts (including temporary impacts).
Citation: 15A NCAC 02H.0506; 15A NCAC 02H.0507(c)
Justification:Surface water quality standards require that conditions of waters be suitable for all
best uses provided for in state rule(including, at minimum:aquatic life propagation, survival,
and maintenance of biological integrity; wildlife;secondary contact recreation;agriculture);and
that activities must not cause water pollution that precludes any best use on a short-term or
long-term basis.
