FROM: Michael Bauer,
Ground Water gangement Branch
Division of Water Resources
SUBJECT: Comments on the Mining Permit Request for:
James E. & Susan S. Rouse
Rouse Pit
Lenoir County
Please find attached a copy of the mining pennit request for the above referenced project.
The Rouse Pit located in Lenoir County does not appear to have an unduly adverse effect on
ground water supplies since there is no dewatering proposed on site. However, if the mine starts
to withdraw 10,000 to 100,000 gallons per day (gpd) of water,they will need to register their
water withdrawals with the Central Coastal Plain Capacity Use Area(CCPCUA) water
withdrawal program. If this mine starts to withdraw 100,000 gpd or more of water,they will
need to obtain a CCPCUA water withdrawal permit.
15A NCAC 02E .0500: A Central Coastal Plain Capacity Use Area(CCPCUA) water
withdrawal permit must be obtained from the Division of Water Resources if the withdrawal
exceeds 100,000 gallons per day and occurs in Beaufort, Carteret, Craven, Duplin,Edgecombe,
Greene, Jones,Lenoir,Martin, Onslow,Pamlico, Pitt,Washington, Wayne, or Wilson County.
If you have further questions, please contact the Division of Water Resources at(919) 707-9004
