along the perimeter of the affected areas.
5. Operator will maintain existing foliage and cultivated field visual screen along perimeter
of the affected area.
6. Operator has already excavated 3.0 acres before permit modification.
7. Operator has constructed a 0.63-acre sedimentation pond at the east end of current
excavation by adding separation berm between ponds. Separation berm has 30-ft wide
peak and a 2:1 interior slope. Minimum 36-in half-pipe flash-board riser overflow will be
located at south corner of sediment pond, discharging into minimum 12-in plastic pipe
leading to existing woods swale draining to wetlands and blue line stream.
8. Operator will install a dewatering pump between the north corner of sediment pond and
excavation area. The dewatering pump will be an 8-in Godwin Dri-Prime model running
at 1200 rpm with 8,000 gallons per hour flowing into sediment pond. Pump will operate
intermittently for an average of 12 hours per day upon need.
9. Operator will excavate the remaining permitted excavation area (12.7 acres) by digging
with the excavator and removing sand & topsoil to maximum depth feasible before
dewatering the excavation.
10. Operator will dewater main excavation into sediment pond, discharging overflow water
from sediment pond through half-pipe riser water height control through discharge pipe
into woods swale leading to wetlands and blue-line stream. Operator will dewater main
excavation down approximately 20 feet below normal groundwater level.
11. 3:1 cut slopes will be constructed around excavation edge down to normal groundwater
level. As water is removed from excavation, 2:1 cut slopes will be constructed below
normal groundwater level around excavation edge.
12. Pond will be excavated to an average of 30 feet and maximum 35 feet below natural
ground level while dewatering is maintained. Excavated material(sand)will be stockpiled

in an unexcavated portion of proposed excavation area or 0.25-acre processing area west
of excavation. Sand will be loaded onto trucks and removed from the area via
construction entrance to NC 45.
13. When final excavation of pond is complete, dewatering will be discontinued, and pump
shut down and removed. Groundwater will refill the excavation to normal seasonal high
groundwater level.
14. Separation berm between pond and sediment pond will be removed by excavation.
ponds will be joined into one 12.7-acre pond.
15. After all excavation is complete, operator will establish groundcover on 3:1 above-water
slopes of excavation and will construct 8-ft wide 4:1 berm around excavation edge to
prevent erosion of pond slopes, with outside edge of berm graded down to natural
ground level.
16. Former stockpile/ berm areas and processing areas outside of main excavations will be
graded, leveled, and seeded with groundcover. Areas will be allowed to return to their
previous non-erosive field state.
17. Internal roadways and haul roads will be graded, leveled,seeded with ground cover,and
allowed to return to natural field state. A field path will remain around the perimeter of
the excavated pond.
18. Operator will grade and level access road to NC 45 back to original non-erosive state.
19. Remaining affected areas inside the main permit area will be fertilized and returned to
natural field state.
20. The remaining pond will be utilized by the landowner for scenic& recreational purposes,
and for wildlife habitat.

unexcavated buffer will be graded, levelled, fertilized and seeded with
groundcover and allowed to return to natural field state.
B)Will any on-site roadways be left as part of the reclamation?
FIYES ©NO
If yes,identify such roadways on the reclamation map and provide details on permanent road and ditch line
stabilization.
Field path will be left around excavation area during reclamation for pond
access.
6. Describe the method of control of contaminants and disposal of scrap metal,junk machinery,cables,or other such
waste products of mining.(Note definition of refuse in The Mining Act of 1971.)
No off-site generated waste shall be disposed of on the mine site without prior written approval from the NC
Department of Environmental Quality,Division of Energy,Mineral,and Land Resources and either the Division
of Waste Management(DWM)or local governing body.If a disposal permit has been issued by DWM for the
site,a copy of said permit must be attached to this application.All temporary and permanent refuse disposal
areas must be dearly delineated on the mine map(s)and reclamation map,along with a list of items to be disposed in
said areas.

DESCRIPTION
A structure in a water management system that conveys water, controls the direction or rate of flow, maintains a desired
water surface elevation or measures water. Water height control structure is standard structure used by agricultural and
horticultural farms in North Carolina to raise or lower water height in ditches and ponds per need (NRCS). Water height
control structure to be installed in the south berm of the sedimentation pond at Lee Hoggard Sand Mine. Overflow to be
directed down stabilized ditch to nearby ground-levelling ditch, eventual outflow to Chowan River and Albemarle Sound.

PURPOSE
To convey water from one elevation to a lower elevation within, to, or from a water conveyance system, such as a ditch,
channel,canal, or pipeline designed to operate under open channel conditions. Typical structures: drops, chutes,
turnouts, surface water inlets, head gates, pump boxes, and stilling basins(NRCS). This water management system will
be used to maintain a maximum water surface elevation in the sedimentation pond at Lee Hoggard Sand Mine, NC 45,
Merry Hill, NC. Sedimentation pond is a part of the dewatering management system of Lee Hoggard Sand Mine, used to
remove settleable matter and turbidity from mine dewatering wastewater.
CONSTRUCTION
Structure consists of 26'x 3' horizontal galvanized steel culvert running under the sedimentation pond berm. A vertical 6'
half pipe 52"x 30" is attached on the north end of the culvert with stacked flash boards allowing adjustable height of the
water level in the sedimentation pond. Water flows over the flash boards and into the discharge pipe and down the rip-rap
stabilized ditch.
Overflow ditch is lined with riprap for 20 feet down its length. Existing slopes adjacent to the culvert are heavily grassed
with natural grass and weeds with no erosion present.
MAINTENANCE
Structures will be checked and necessary maintenance, including removal of debris, shall be performed after major
storms and at least semi-annually.

Riprap lined apron located at end of mine dewatering overflow pipe to prevent scour and undermining
in discharge ditch,and to absorb the impact of the water flow and reduce the velocity to non-erosive
levels before flow reaches wetlands.
Riprap Apron Size: Overflow pipe discharges directly into well-defined channel. The apron will extend
across the channel bottom and up the channel banks to the top of the bank. Length of apron will be 20-
feet downstream to maintain velocity control of maximum 2.0 feet per second.
Grade: Apron will have zero grade and no overfill at end of apron.
Alignment: Apron will be straight throughout entire length if possible. If curve is necessary to align the
apron with the receiving channel,the curve will be located in the upstream section of the riprap.
Materials: Riprap will consist of a well graded mixture of NCDOT Class A(2"to 6")stone or slag.
Thickness: Minimum thickness of riprap will be 1.5 times the maximum stone diameter.

Filter: Operator plans to install a layer of heavy duty silt fence filter cloth between the riprap and the
underlying soil to prevent soil movement into or through the riprap. Filter cloth will extend to the top of
both channel banks,and edges will overlap 12 inches. Upstream end will be buried 12 inches and
downstream end will be buried if necessary.
Maintenance: inspect riprap outlet structures weekly and after significant rainfall events to see if any
erosion around or below the riprap has taken place,or if stones have become dislodged. Repair all
damage immediately. Maintain all vegetation adjacent to the channel in healthy condition to prevent
scour or erosion during out-of-bank flow. Control weeds and brush growing in the riprap by cutting.

Berm Construction Details
Lee Hoggard Mine
Merry Hill,INC
Berne County
Narrow-based berm
The narrow-based berm is the most common berm having a top of 2 feet(0.6 m)and side slopes of two
horizontal: 1 vertical.This berm is the most economical to build as it requires the least material.The
steep side slopes of this type of berm eliminate the possibility of working on it with farm machinery.
10,
r J 2 J
1
NEW BERM EXISTING
GRADE
Berm Construction
The berm construction comprises of the scraping back of the topsoil from the area where the berm and
storage basin are to be built.A subsoil material,free of stones, rubble,stumps etc.and with at least 10%
clay should be used to construct the berm.The material for the berm may be obtained from the area
behind or in front of the berm location or moved from a borrow pit located elsewhere on the farm.An
earth mover will be required to move material from a pit located a distance away while a bulldozer
would be used if material is in the berm area.
The berm material is to be placed in layers and compacted as each layer is added. After the berm has a
final shape,the sides of the berm should also be compacted.
Emergency Overflow
To provide for larger-than designed peak flows,an overflow system is used, namely:
• "The level-top vegetated berm crest"which provides for very flat berm top so that the water will
overflow along the berm length in a thin layer so as not to create erosion problems.

Sediment Fence (Silt Fence) Construction Details:
Practice Standards and Specifications 6.62
Lee Haggard Sand Mine
Merry Hill, NC
Bertie County
_L
A temporary permeable barrier erected on small,disturbed areas to capture sediment from sheet flow. It is made of
filter fabric buried at the bottom,stretched,and supported by steel posts.
Planning:Silt fence will be installed along the perimeter of a 12-ft wide access road when crossing an existing field ditch.
Narrow width of fenced area will allow only shallow pools to form behind fence while promoting deposition of sediment
and preventing sedimentation into adjacent wetlands. Ends of fence will be curled uphill in "I" pattern to prevent end
flow. Stabilized outlets will be provided to protect the fence system and release storm flow that exceeds the design.
Design considerations:Silt fence will be constructed of extra-strength synthetic filter fabric. Height of fence will not
exceed 2 feet above natural ground level,and will be constructed from a continuous roll to minimize joints. All joints
will be fastened at a support post with 4 feet minimum of overlap. Extra-strength filter fabric will be fastened to road
side of steel posts(installed 2 feet deep)every 6 feet(every 8 feet if using standard strength filter fabric with wire mesh
backing)and fastened with wire ties. Trench will be excavated along inside of fence approximately 4 inches wide by 8
inches deep, into which 12 inches of fabric will be placed along the bottom and side of the trench. Trench will be
backfilled and compacted.
Maintenance: Inspect sediment fence every week and after each rainfall. Make any required repairs immediately.
Replace any collapsed,damaged,or decomposed fence promptly. Remove all fencing materials and unstable sediment
deposits and bring the area to grade and stabilize it after the contributing drainage area has been properly stabilized.
