Re: Small Pit
CCPCUA Permit Application
Dear Mr. Bauer,
We are respectfully submitting an application for a CCPCUA permit for a borrow pit in
Chowan County. This pit will be operated for Barnhill Contracting Company projects only and
will not be run on a continual basis. Use will be determined by the demand for sand, clay and
other earthen materials for local projects. Because of the nature of this work, withdrawal rates
will vary greatly from month to month. We intend to dewater only when we are actively mining
and not on a continuous basis. During times of mining we will typically work 12 hour days and
pump during those times. However, because we may have to pump more than this, we are
proposing a maximum daily pumping capacity of 936,000 gallons per day from a 6" submersible
pump.
Please find enclosed one (1) original and two (2) copies of the CCPCUA Permit
Application and supporting documents. Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate
to contact us.
Yours Very Truly,
Barnhill Contracting Company
Dustin Faulkner
Mine Manager

N/A
Vill. Substantiation for the amount of withdrawal requested.
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 may require the permitted use of daily withdrawals. During months in the winter when
construction is much more inactive,withdrawal rates will be significantly less or none at all.
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 peak operation,the pump will run for a maximum of 24 hours per
day. Other times,the pump will run much less. We will use a 6"submersible pump with a
pumping capacity of 650 gpm.

IX. Disposal of Water:
Water will be pumped excavated areas on site. No water shall be disposed of offsite.
X. Document plans to retrofit wells as described in 15A NCAC 02E .05020).
