Barnhill Contracting will use this pit on an as needed basis and pumping operations will vary throughout the year. During times of active
hauling,the need to dewater the pit will be greater and require the permitted use of daily withdrawals. During months during the winter
when construction is much more inactive,withdrawal rates will be significantly less. Withdrawal will not be done on a continual basis and
the pump will only run while we are actively mining the pit. During times of seasonal shutdown and inactivity,this site will not be
dewatered. During times of operation,the pump will run for approximately 24 hours per day. We will use a 6"submersible pump with a
pumping capacity of 650 gpm.
IX. Disposal of Water:

A sediment basin will be installed as shown on the site plan and will be used for controlling any erosion from excavation. Please see
enclosed mine map for location of sediment basin. Water will be pumped into sediment basin and overflow will sheet drain after
settlement into ditch through check-dam.

XI. Document intermittent user status as described in 15A NCAC 02E.0507(13):
Barnhill Contracting will not be an intermittent user as we propose to withdraw more than 60 days per year and more than 15 million
gallons per year.
