RE: Mining Permit No. 43-28
Weeks Sand Pit No 2
Harnett County
Dear J S Weeks Sand Inc:
This letter is to advise you of recent amendments to the North Carolina Mining Act of 1971 which impact the
permit term of your existing mining permit. Pursuant to the passage of House Bill 56, which became law on October 4,
2017 as SL 2017-209, all existing mining permits and any newly issued mining permits are to be Issued for the life of site
- or for the duration of the lease term. The "life of site' means the period from the initial receipt of a permit for the operation
until the mining operation terminates and the required reclamation is completed.
Considering the above, this letter hereby modifies your existing mining permit to remove all references to the prior
exniratinn date to rnnvert yopr n<rmit to a life of site or lease permit effective immediately. No action is required on your
part for this modification to be effective. Please attach this letter to your existing mining permit for future reference. The
mine name and permit number on the permit document, and all existing operating and reclamation conditions contained
therein, shall remain in full force and effect, Furthermore, all provisions of GS§74-51 and GS §74-52 still apply to all new,
transferred and modified mining permits.
In addition to the life of site or lease mining permit provision, SL 2017-209 also enacted a new annual mining
permit operating fee of $400 per mining permit number. By statute, the initial payment of this annual $400 fee must be
submitted to this office by December 31, 2017—see the attached Invoice to remit the initial annual fee payment by this
deadline. Beginning in 2018, the $400 annual operating fee must be submitted by July 1 of each year with the required
Annual Reclamation Report as required by GS §74-65. Failure to submit the fee by the required deadline will result in a
$501month late fee and could result in the denial of future permit actions and/or revocation of your mining permit.
Lastly, pursuant to GS §74-54, the cap on reclamation bonds has been raised from $500,000 to $1 million. Any
adiustments needed in PARtino bonds will be initiated by this office or addressed during your next requested permit action.
unless you contact this office with a written request to have your bond reevaluated.
The issuance of a mining permit and/or any modification to it does not supersede local zoning regulations. The
responsibility of compliance with any applicable zoning regulations remains with you.
Thank you for your cooperation in this matter. If you have any questions on the above, please contact Ms. Judy
Wenner, Assistant State Mining Specialist, or me at [phone].

Subject: Renewal Permit #43-28, Weeks Sand Permit No. 2
Dear Ms. Wehner;
I am writing in response to your letter of April 23, in which you requested additional
information on the above referenced permit modification request. I will answer your
questions in the same order as your letter:
1. A perimeter berm has been established around the entire mining area, and provides
adequate erosion and sediment control measures along the 100 foot undisturbed
wetland buffer, as well as the other buffers.
2. The "Plant Area" and "Concrete and Brick Recycle Area" were added in previous
permit modifications. As described in the modification application, the intent is to
stockpile and process concrete and brick materials. The intentions have not changed
since the modification request. The exact location of this activity will move according to
the ongoing mining and landfill processes.

Weeks Sand Pit #2
Harri County
Please find attached a copy of the mining permit renewal request for the above referenced project.
The Weeks Sand Pit #2 located in Harnett County does not appear to have an unduly adverse effect
on ground water supplies since there is no dewatering proposed on site. If it becomes necessary to
begin pumping water from the mine to stabilize mining activities, the Division of Waier Fccsources
would like to be contacted so that it may further investigate any potential effects on ground water
supplies.
Facilities not in the fifteen county Central Coastal Plain Capacity Use Area are required to register
their water withdrawals in accordance with the North Carolina General Statute G.S. 143-215.2211.
This statue requires any non-agricultural water user who withdraws 100,000 gallons or more in any
one day of ground water or surface water to register and update withdrawals. This statue also
requires transfers of 100,000 gallons or more in any one day of surface water from one river basin
to another river basin to register and update their water transfers. Water withdrawal registrants must
complete the annual water use reporting form by April I for the previous year.

Dear Mr. Weeks:
The review has been completed on the modification request your company submitted
for the referenced mine site. However, the following is needed to continue processing your
application:
The reclamation bond calculation worksheet submitted with the additional information
has been verified. The reclamation bond for this site has been calculated to be $182,600,00.
The bond or balance ($78,900.00) will be required prior to approval of this modification.
For your convenience, I have enclosed a bond form, an assignment of a savings
account form and irrevocable standby letter of credit form for your use in securing the required
bond. The name on the security must be the same as the name appearing on the application
for a mining permit, i.e., J S Weeks Sand, Inc. In addition to one of these alternatives, you
may, upon request, substitute a cash deposit.
Please be advised that the modification request cannot be completed until the new
bond amount has been received.
As required by G.S. 74-51 (h), you are hereby advised that you have 60 days from the
date of your receipt of this letter to submit the reclamation bond. If you are unable to meet this
deadline and wish to request additional time, you must submit information, in writing, to the
Director clearly indicating why the deadline can not be met and request that an extension of
time be granted.

I assume you got this e-mail from Ken Pickle a few weeks ago, and have had a conversation with him as well.
It was my understanding that the ADI letter from your office was addressing issues raised by Jennifer Jones of DWQ. It
was also my understanding from my conversations with Ken Pickle that the information I gave him satisfied their
concerns, and that were not requiring any further action. Is this a sufficient response to your AD] letter, or do you need
additional information?

Hi James,
Thanks for returning my tali this morning.
I've reviewed your May 15, 2012 letter, and some of the email correspondence leading up to it. I have the following
comments for you and your client.
• During our discussions you reported that the site conditions, including depth to groundwater, absence of
dewatering operations, extremely permeable soils, and containment features all effectively insure that here will
be no surface discharges from the mining operation,the LCID operation, or the propose ready-mix concrete
batch plant operation. Our Fayetteville Office has concurred with this assessment of the physical circumstances.
• It is my conclusion that on the basis of no reasonable expectation of a site surface water discharge, the
operations at Weeks Sand Pit 42 do not require an NPDES discharge permit from DWQ.
Please contact me with any questions or comments.
Regards,
Ken

Hello Jennifer;
Thanks for the follow-up. We are working on this, but I don't think we will have a quick response. The issues and
questions that you brought up are complex, and revealed that a more detailed plan is needed. At this point, the owners
are working on a more detailed design to contain stormwater and wash/process water that is associated with the
concrete mixing and transport. The water will then be monitored before discharge as required in the NPDES General
Permit for Concrete Plants. It may be in the form of a lined basin, or even a concrete structure. In any case, the goal is
now to develoo a design that will prevent the process water from just soaking into the ground without monitoring or
treatment if necessary. We are currently looking at other similar plants and configurations, and will likely adopt
a design that has been effective in compliance. It may take us a couple of weeks to put this information together.
thanks,
James

Hi James,
It was nice to speak with you on the phone today. Here are the following questions/concerns we'd like answered in
writing so we can know how to best permit this site.
1) Please send a large-scale (24"06") site map including:
a. The location of the mine, mine pit, borrow area, haul road, cement bins, aggregate piles, loading and
unloading area and truck washing areas.
b. Outline of drainage areas with topographical lines and features
C. Stormwater/wastewater treatment structures if any
d. Location of numbered Stormwater/wastewater outfalls (corresponding to which drainage areas)
e. Areas and acreage where materials are stored
I. Impervious area acreages
g. Location(s) of streams and/orwetlands the site is draining to, and any applicable buffers
h. Site property lines, North Arrow, and barscale
I. If applicable, the 100-year floodplain line
J. Groundwater levels In relation to the proposed depth of mine pit. Do these levels change over time and
if so, what will your mine do in order to ensure no pumping from this site?
2) Line drawing and description: A line drawing of the water flow through the facility. A pictorial description of the nature
and amount of any sources of water and any collection and treatment measures.
3) A narrative description and identification of each type of process, operation, or production area which contributes
wastewater to the effluent for each outfall, and a description of the treatment the wastewater receives (or will receive),
including the ultimate disposal of any solid or fluid wastes other than by discharge. Processes,operations, or production
areas may be described in general terms (e.g. "ash silo").
4) Soils reports including the soil infiltration rate in inches per hour.
5) The average amount of water used and disposed of per day, and how you came to this number.
6) Average number of aggregate trucks filled and washed per day.
7) The time in which the average water used will infiltrate.
8) The amount of admixtures, surfactants, brighteners, and/or other chemicals that might be used on site. How these will
be used and stored, and the amount that will be used on average. Are these chemicals going to be contained in any
secondary containment.
9) Whether or not the cement mixture will contain coal ash.
10) Please also note that DWQ is concerned about the amount of water that maybe used onsite and how far any
wastewater that may be disposed of will travel. If you are able to estimate that, please include this information.
11) Is your facility wetting stockpiles and if so, where is this water traveling.
Please note that if the mine must dewater, the commingled water from the ready mixed site will also need to be
permitted as an NPDES wastewater discharge. In that case, your site may need an individual stormwater and
wastewater permit.

Thanks Jennifer;
Since this sand mine is in the "sand hills", the mining pit remains well above the water table. Therefore, all Stormwater is
retained within the pit and settles into the sandy soil. There is no discharge at all. Therefore, they do not require an
NPDES permit for mining.
The proposed concrete batch plant will be located within this mining area, and therefore will have no Stormwater
discharges. Will it require an NPDES permit if there are no discharges?

Hi James,
The NCG02 does not cover discharges from ready-mixed concrete/concrete batch plant discharges and you will need a
permit for NPDES wastewater discharges from concrete batch plants. So you will either need to get another NPDES
general permit (NCG140000 for stormwater and wastewater discharges), or you will need to get an individual wastewater
and/or Stormwater general permit. I highly recommend using general permit NCG140000 — it will be much easier and
less expensive for you. The application is located on our website here:
http://portal.ncdenr.org/cldocument library/get file?uuid=dc4489b9-2293-4eb2-93c6-740cc4c256de&groupId=38364

Judy,
I think we are on the same page with this. We are working on a plan to contain process water before discharge. DWt1
does not like the original plan of just letting everything soak into the ground. Understandable. I think we can put
together something that will solve the issue. This is not necessarily a unique situation.

Hi Judy,
Well it now sounds like they are not going to dump the wastewater directly on the ground—an improvement! So if they
continue to go that way (i.e. not dumping it on the ground) then I don't think we'll need a monitoring well. If they do
continue with plans to dump wastewater on the ground, we would need one, but sound like they are not planning on
doing that any more.
Sound good?

Hello Jennifer;
Thanks for the follow-up. We are working on this, but I don't think we will have a quick response. The issues and
questions that you brought up are complex, and revealed that a more detailed plan is needed. At this point, the owners
are working on a more detailed design to contain stormwater and wash/process water that is associated with the
concrete mixing and transport. The water will then be monitored before discharge as required in the NPDES General
Permit for Concrete Plants. It may be in the form of a lined basin, or even a concrete structure. In any case, the goal is
now to develop a design that will prevent the process water from just soaking into the ground without monitoring or
treatment if necessary. We are currently looking at other similar plants and configurations, and will likely adopt
a design that has been effective in compliance. It may take us a couple of weeks to put this information together.
thanks,
James

Ni James,
The NCG02 does not cover discharges from ready-mixed concrete/concrete batch plant discharges and you will need a
permit for NPDES wastewater discharges from concrete batch plants. So you will either need to get another NPDES
general permit (NCG!40000 for stormwater and wastewater discharges), or you will need to get an individual wastewater
and/or stormwater general permit. I highly recommend using general permit NCG140000 — it will be much easier and
less expensive for you. The application is located on our website here:

6) Average number of aggregate trucks filled and washed per day.
7) The time in which the average water used will infiltrate.
8) The amount of admixtures, surfactants, brighteners, and/or other chemicals that might be used on site. How
these will be used and stored, and the amount that will be used on average. Are these chemicals going to be
contained in any secondary containment.
9) Whether or not the cement mixture will contain coal ash.
10) Please also note that DWQ is concerned about the amount of water that may be used onsite and how far any
wastewater that may be disnnspd of will travel. If you are able to estimate that; please include this information.
11) Is your facility wetting stockpiles and if so,where is this water traveling.
Please note that if the mine must dewater, the commingled water from the ready mixed site will also need to be
permitted as an NPDES wastewater discharge. In that case, your site may need an individual stormwater and
wastewater permit.

"Thanks Jennifer;
Since this sand mine is in the "sand hills", the mining pit remains well above the water table. Therefore, all
stormwater is retained within the pit and settles into the sandy soil. There is no discharge at all. "Therefore, they
do not require an NPDES permit for mining.
The proposed concrete batch plant will be located within this mining area, and therefore will have no
stormwater discharges. Will it require an NPDES permit if there are no discharges?

Hi James,
The NCGO2 does not cover discharges from ready-mixed concrete/concrete batch plant discharges and you will need a
permit for NPDES wastewater discharges from concrete batch plants. So you will either need to get another NPDES
general permit (NCG140000 for stormwater and wastewater discharges), or you will need to get an individual
wastewater and/or stormwater general permit. I highly recommend using general permit NCG140000—it will be much
easier and less expensive for you. The application is located on our website here:
http://portal.ncdenr.org/cZdocument library/get file?uuid=dc4489b9-2293-4eb2-93c6-740cc4c256de& rou Id=38364
Let me know if you have any further questions and I be glad to help.

James,
Thanks for bringing up the issue. I neglected to mention it in my review. If the concrete batch plant will have its own
discharges (stormwater and/or process wastewater from material washing,vehicle washing, settling basin overflows)
then it may very well need separate coverage under the NCG140000. I've copied Jen Jones with our Stormwater
Permitting Unit who may be able to provide a more definitive answer on this.
Jen,
Thoughts?

Jon:
I talked with Mike yesterday. I have visited sites like this mine in the sand hills before and have a feel for the dynamics
of how a site like this would function. ,From a permitting perspective the wash water from concrete trucks being
repetitively rinsed (after each load generally) would be the main source of potential concern. On other sites that are not
as permeable, this water is handled through the General Storm Water NPDES permit. The simplest way to handle this is
to permit it the same way, and use a monitoring well located down-gradient from the area where the wash water
infiltrates and that can be the "outfall" monitoring location.
I do not see any reason to craft a new type permit for such a facility, especially since there would only be just a handful,
and we can regulate them with the current methods. I see it as a low risk to water quality(ground and surface) type
activity.

The original proposal for this site showed routing truck washout water to a sand mine for infiltration. Jennifer and I will
make sure that you are kept in the loop. Eventually it will be a good idea for someone to go take a look at the site and
see what options are available for managing the wastewater. I suggest you or Jim talk with Mike Lawyer to get more
details on what is going on.

Hi James,
It was nice to speak with you on the phone today. Here are the following questions/concerns we'd like answered in
writing so we can know how to best permit this site.
1) Please send a large-scale (24"06") site map including:
a. The location of the mine, mine pit, borrow area, haul road, cement bins, aggregate piles, loading and
unloading area and truck washing areas.
b. Outline of drainage areas with topographical lines and features
c. Stormwater/wastewater treatment structures if any
d. Location of numbered stormwater/wastewater outfalls (corresponding to which drainage areas)
e. Areas and acreage where materials are stored
f. Impervious area acreages
g. Location(s) of streams and/or wetlands the site is draining to, and any applicable buffers
h. Site property lines, North Arrow, and bar scale
i. If applicable, the 100-year floodplain line
j. Groundwater levels in relation to the proposed depth of mine pit. Do these levels change over time and
if so, what will your mine do in order to ensure no pumping from this site?
2) Line drawing and description: A line drawing of the water flow through the facility. A pictorial description of the
nature and amount of any sources of water and any collection and treatment measures.
3) A narrative description and identification of each type of process, operation, or production area which
contributes wastewater to the effluent for each outfall, and a description of the treatment the wastewater
receives(or will receive), including the ultimate disposal of any solid or fluid wastes other than by discharge.
Processes, operations, or production areas may be described in general terms (e.g. "ash silo").
4) Soils reports including the soil infiltration rate in inches per hour.
5) The average amount of water used and disposed of per day, and how you came to this number.
6) Average number of aggregate trucks filled and washed per day.
7) The time in which the average water used will infiltrate.
8) The amount of admixtures, surfactants, brighteners, and/or other chemicals that might be used on site. How
these will be used and stored, and the amount that will be used on average. Are these chemicals going to be
contained in any secondary containment.
9) Whether or not the cement mixture will contain coal ash.
10) Please also note that DWQ is concerned about the amount of water that may be used onsite and how far any
wastewater that may be disposed of will travel. If you are able to estimate that, please include this information.
11) Is your facility wetting stockpiles and if so,where is this water traveling.
Please note that if the mine must dewater, the commingled water from the ready mixed site will also need to be
permitted as an NPDES wastewater discharge. In that case, your site may need an individual stormwater and

I do riot see any reason to craft a new type permit for such a facility, especially since there would only bejust a handful,
and we can regulate them with the current methods. I see it as a low risk to water quality (ground and surface) type
activity.

Art,
The original proposal for this site showed routing truck washout water to a sand mine for infiltration. Jennifer and I will
make sure that you are kept in the loop. Eventually it will be a good idea for someone to go take a look at the site and
see what options are available for managing the wastewater. I suggest you or Jim talk with Mike Lawyer to get more
details on what is going on.

Hi James,
It was nice to speak with you on the phone today. Here are the following questions/concerns we'd like answered in
writing so we can know how to best permit this site.
1) Please send a large-scale (24"x36") site map including:
a. The location of the mine, mine pit, borrow area, haul road, cement bins, aggregate piles, loading and
unloading area and truck washing areas.
b. Outline of drainage areas with topographical lines and features
c. Stormwater/wastewater treatment structures if any
d. Location of numbered stormwater/wastewater outfalls (corresponding to which drainage areas)
e. Areas and acreage where materials are stored
f. Impervious area acreages
g. Location(s) of streams and/or wetlands the site is draining to, and any applicable buffers
h. Site property lines, North Arrow, and bar scale
i. If applicable, the 100-year floodplain line
j. Groundwater levels in relation to the proposed depth of mine pit. Do these levels change over time and
if so, what will your mine do in order to ensure no pumping from this site?
2) Line drawing and description: Aline drawing of the water flow through the facility. A pictorial description of the
nature and amount of any sources of water and any collection and treatment measures.
3) A narrative description and identification of each type of process, operation, or production area which
contributes wastewater to the effluent for each outfall, and a description of the treatment the wastewater
receives (or will receive), including the ultimate disposal of any solid or fluid wastes other than by discharge.
Processes, operations, or production areas may be described in general terms (e.g. "ash silo").
4) Soils reports including the soil infiltration rate in inches per hour.
5) The average amount of water used and disposed of per day, and how you carve to this number.
6) Average number of aggregate trucks filled and washed per day.
7) The time in which the average water used will infiltrate,
S) The amount of admixtures, surfactants, brighteners, and/or other chemicals that might be used on site. How
these will be used and stored, and the amount that will be used on average. Are these chemicals going to be
contained in any secondary containment.
9) Whether or not the cement mixture will contain coal ash.
10) Please also note that DWQ is concerned about the amount of water that may be used onsite and how far any
wastewater that may be disposed of will travel. if you are able to estimate that, please include this information.
11) Is your facility wetting stockpiles and if so,where is this water traveling.
Please note that if the mine must dewater, the commingled water from the ready mixed site will also need to be
permitted as an NPDES wastewater discharge. In that case, your site may need an individual stormwater and
wastewater permit.

Thanks Jennifer,
Since this sand mine is in the "sand hills", the mining pit remains well above the water table. Therefore, all
stormwater is retained within the pit and settles into the sandy soil. There is no discharge at all. Therefore, they
do not require an NPDES permit for mining.
The proposed concrete batch plant will be located within this mining area, and therefore will have no
stormwater discharges. Will it require an NPDES permit if there are no discharges?

Hi James,
The NCG02 does not cover discharges from ready-mixed concrete/concrete batch plant discharges and you will need a
permit for NPDES wastewater discharges from concrete batch plants. So you will either need to get another NPDES
general permit (NCG140000 for stormwater and wastewater discharges), or you will need to get an individual
wastewater and/or stormwater general permit. I highly recommend using general permit NCG140000—it will be much
easier and less expensive for you. The application is located on our website here:
http://Portal.ncdenr.org/c/document library/get file?uuid=dc4489b9-2293-4eb2-93c6-740cc4c256de&groupld=38364

James,
Thanks for bringing up the issue. I neglected to mention it in my review. If the concrete batch plant will have its own
discharges (stormwater and/or process wastewater from material washing, vehicle washing, settling basin overflows)
then it may very well need separate coverage under the NCG140000. I've copied Jen Jones with our Stormwater
Permitting Unit who may be able to provide a more definitive answer on this.
Jen,
Thoughts?

SUBJECT: Comments on the Mining Permit Modification Request for:
J.S. Weeks Sand, Inc.
Weeks Sand Pit#2
Harnett County
Please find attached a copy of the mining permit modification request for the above referenced project.
The Weeks Sand Pit#2, located in,Harnett County, does not appear to have an unduly adverse effect on ground
water supplies since there is no dewatering proposed on site. If it becomes necessary to begin pumping water
from the mine to stabilize mining activities, the Division of Water Resources would like to be contacted so that
it may further investigate any potential effects on potable ground water supplies.
Facilities not in the fifteen county Central Coastal Plain Capacity Use Area are required to register their water
withdrawals in accordance with the North Carolina General Statute G.S. 143-215.22H. This statue requires any
non-agricultural water user who withdraws 100,000 gallons or more in any one day of ground water or surface
water to register and update withdrawals. This statue also requires transfers of 100,000 gallons or more in any
one day of surface water from one river basin to another river basin to register and update their water transfers.
Water withdrawal registrants must complete the annual water use reporting form by April--- I_ for the previnus
year.

Comments: After previous review on 10/3/11 a written response was received from Mr. James Izzell stating
that "...there has never been a need to dewater the it." The response also stated that "...because of the
sandy soil and the elevation above static groundwater, any stormwater that falls within the mine simply seeps
into the soil." Based on this information, there would be no discharges from this site and therefore no
requirement to obtain permit coverage under the NCG020000.

Subject: Mining Permit Modification Request, Weeks Sand Pit #2, Permit # 43-28
Dear Ms. Boyer:
Please find attached an application to modify Mining Permit #43-28, Weeks Sand Pit
#2, J. S. Weeks Sand, Inc. in Harnett County. Weeks Sand would like to modify their
permit to allow them to construct an additional processing plant withit'the current mining?
area. This-processing plant will consist of bins, hoppers, conveyors, a`nd load-out j
equipment necessary for mixing concrete products! As you may recall, this permit was
modified late last year to allow them to stockpile "clean" concrete, brick, and stone
materials, primarily from demolition or construction projects within the surrounding
community. This modification simply designates one acre within the previously
approved mining area to be used for the processing plant. Therefore, on the overall
affected acreage, one acre has been subtracted from "mining area", and one acre has been
added to "plant area". Since this area is within the previously approved "mining area",
the existing sediment and erosion control plan adequately controls any potential runoff
from this area. The equipment will eventually be removed from site at the completion of
the mining operation (or relocated to the LCID portion of the property) and the
designated areas will be reclaimed according to the existing reclamation plan as"mining
area".
I have completed the first 3 pages of the Mining Permit Application, the modified
Mine Plan, and a check for $750 Car the permitting fees. If you have any questions,
please contact tile.

RE: Permit No. 43-28/Weeks Sand Pit No. 2
Harnett County 1 Cape Fear River Basin
Dear Mr. VAloclre
f
Your recent request to have the above referenced mining permit modified has been approved.
The modification is to allow the stockpiling and recycling of clean concrete, brick, and stone material in
a 5 acre area within the existing permitted and affected acreage as shown on the mine map (Sheet C1)
last revised September 2011. A copy of the modified permit is enclosed.
The conditions in the modified permit were based primarily upon the initial application,
Modifications were made as indicated by the modification request and as required to insure compliance
with The Mining Act of 1971. The expiration date, mine name and permit number shall remain the
same as before the modification. I would like to draw your particular attention to the following
conditions where minor additions or changes were made: Operating Condition Nos. 4G and 1 OF and
Reclamation Condition No. 2E.
The issuance of a mining permit and/or any modification to it does not supersede local zoning
regulations. The responsibility of compliance with any applicable zoning regulations lies with you.
As a reminder, your permitted acreage at this site is 117.61 acres and the amount of land you
are approved to disturb is 76.2 acres.
Please review the modified permit and contact Ashley Rodgers, Assistant State Mining
Specialist, at [phone] should you have any questions concerning this matter.

Jodi,
These modification requests are only to add the processing areas within the existing permitted and affected area. I
don't think we really need any revised calculations. My only question would he whether thev need any additional
E&SC. I wouldn't think so,since there is a berm protecting the buffer areas, and there are already basins designed for
runoff of approved affected areas (including where this processing area will be).

Subject: Weeks Sand Company, Mining Permit Modification Requests
Dear Mr. Lawyer-
Thank you for your review of the above referenced Mining Permit Modification
requests and for sending your review forms to me. I assure you that Weeks Sand
Company has always tried to remain in compliance with all environmental rules and
regulations. Since there are two permits, and two review forms, I will respond to your
concerns separately.
First, for Weeks Sand Pit#2, DLR Permit#43-28, your primary concern is that this
site does not have an NPDES permit. In fact, you make reference to several previous
reviews over the last few years that mention this concern. This mine is somewhat
unique in its location and operation. The sand deposit that is being mined at this
location is actually located on top of a hill, somewhat typical of mines in the "Sandhills"
region of the state. Because of this unique topography. the total mining depth has
remained several feet above the groundwater table, Therefore, no groundwater is
encountered in the mine, and there has never been a need to dewater the pit. In
addition, because of the sandy soil and the elevation above static groundwater, any
stormwater that falls within the mine simply seeps into the soil. There is no discharge of
stormwater during any storm event. In fact, part of this site was recently permitted as an
LCID Landfill, primarily because it was conclusively shown that the groundwater table is
several feet below the floor of the mine, and there is no discharge of stormwater: If
Weeks Sand Company decides in the future to extend the depth of mining below the
water table and thereby require dewatering, then they will notify the Division of Water
Quality and apply for coverage under the NPDES General Stormwater Permit for Mining.
Second, for Weeks Sand Pit#3, DRL Permit#43-37 and NPDES Permit
#NCG020636. vour primary concern is potential im.bact to wetlands within the permitted
area. If I understand your review correctly, your concern is for impacts due to crossings
and for dewatering the mine site. As with Pit#2, there has been no dewatering of this
mine to date. This mine, however, will extend below the water table, and it is anticipated
that some dewatering may be necessary in the future. For this reason, Weeks Sand
applied for and was approved for coverage under the NPDES General Permit
NCG020636.._The cross.ings.shown in the wetland„areas are existing roads constructed

DWQ review response
many years ago for agriculture and forestry. There has been no change in this plan
since this was approved by modification request in 2007. The proposed dewatering and
crossings were reviewed at that time by the Division of Water Quality and the Division of
Land Resources and was approved. There is no change proposed to any of this activity.
Mining is not expected to extend into the areas across the wetlands for several years.
Weeks Sand Company will determine if any additional permitting is needed from the
Army Corps of Engineers and/or NCDENR Division of Water Quality before the
crossings are utilized for mining.
As you are aware, the current requested:mining-permit modification is to allow
concrete to be temporarily stockpiled within the previously approved mining areas of the
two mine operations. The existing approved sediment and erosion control plans
associated with the mining permits are adequate for this activity, since no new areas are
proposed to be disturbed. There will be no change in any currently approved dewatering
or discharge plans, nor to any proposed wetland crossings. Thank you for your review
of this mining permit action. If you have any further questions, please contact me.

SUEJECT: Comments on the Mining Permit Modification Request for:
J.S. Weeks Sand, Inc.
Weeks Sand Pit#2
Harnett County
Please find attached a copy of tnc mining permit modification request for the above referenced project.
The Weeks Sand Pit 92, located in Harnett County, does not appear to have an unduly adverse effect on ground
water supplies since there is no additional dewatering proposed in this modification.
Facilities not in the fifteen county Central Coastal Plain Capacity Use Area are required to register their water
withdrawals in accordance with the North Carolina General Statute G.S. 143-215.22H. This statue requires any
non-agricuiiurri waier user who wiihciraws i 00,v00 gallons or more in any one day or ground water or seduce
water to register and update withdrawals. This statue also requires transfers of 100,000 gallons or more in any
one day of surface water from one river basin to another river basin to register and update their Nvaua transfers.
Water withdrawal registrants must complete the annual water use reporting form by April I for the previous

Subject: Mining Permit Modification Request, Weeks Sand Pit#2, Permit# 43-28
Dear Ms. Boyer:
Please find attached an application to modify Mining Permit #43-28, Weeks Sand Pit
#2, J. S. Weeks Sand, Inc. in Harnett County. Weeks Sand would like to modify their
permit to allow them to stockpile and recycle concrete, brick, and stone materials from
offsite sources. As you may know, this permit was modified a couple of years ago to
allow an LCID Landfill on a portion of the site. This request is being made to allow them
to bring in "clean" concrete, brick, and stone materials, primarily from demolition or
construction projects within the surrounding community. All materials brought onsite
will be carefully checked to assure that the materials are clean, unpainted, and have no
other materials than inert concrete, brick, or stone. These materials will be temporarily
stockpiled in the area that has been designated on the mine map. Since this area is within
the previously approved "Mining Area", the existing sediment and erosion control plan
adequately controls any potential runoff from this area. This material will be periodically
crushed or screened, then sold and removed from the site. Please note that this will only
be a temporary stockpiling of these materials. They will be removed from site at the
completion of the mining operation (or relocated to the LCID portion of the property) and
the designated areas will be reclaimed according to the existing reclamation plan.
I have completed the first 3 pages of the Mining Permit Application, the modified
Mini- Plan and a rharL fnr 0.75O fnr the nPYt-niffino fepz Tf you hnve. anv nilominns

Ground Water Management Section MINING PROGRAM
Division of Water Resources
SUBJECT: Comments on the Mining Permit Modification Request for:
Weeks Sand Co.
Weeks Sand Pit#2
Harnett County
Please find attached a copy of the mining permit modification request for the above referenced project.
The Weeks Sand Pit 42 located in Harnett County does not appear to have an unduly adverse effect on ground
water supplies since there is no dewatering proposed on site. If it becomes necessary to begin pumping water
from the mine to stabilize mining activities, the Division of Water Resources would like to be contacted so that
it may further investigate any potential effects on potable ground water supplies.

Subject Modification of Pennit 941-28, allowing LCID Landfill in Reclamation Plan
Dear Mr. Williams;
Please find attached an application and plans to allow Weeks Sand Co. to utilize a
portion of their mining area under permit#43-28 (Weeks Sand Pit 42) as a LCID
Landfill. As you may know, Weeks Sand recently convened 2 acres of this area under a
limited permit with the Division of Waste Management. They now wish to increase this
area to cover approximately 23 acres of their existing mining area. This area has already
been mined, and they wish to use the LCID Landfill as the reclamation ofthis area. The
attached plans and project narrative give complete details of this request.
The reclamation of the slopes of the existing excavation will be completed according
to the existing reclamation requirements before the LCID is placed within these areas.
The LCID will be constructed according to the attached plans, and under a permit from
the Division of Waste Management. As these areas are reclaimed, it is expected that a
request will be made to have them released from the Mining Permit, and then be placed
under the sole jurisdiction of the Division of Waste Management.
If you have any questions, or if you need any additional information, please contact
me.
Sincerely

converting an approximate 18 acre area into a Land Clearing and Inert Debris (LCID)
land fill. The project will begin by installing diversion ditches and sediment basins in
Borrow Area 1 (B1) and installing the west to east diversion and Basin b at the northeast
end of the LCII). Install Construction Entrance per plan. The project will then continue
in phases, which are designated in the plan as Cells. Cell 1 will be filled and stabilized
and file work will continue into Cell 2 and so forth:
Cell 1
Make sure all reclaimed mining siopcs are at 3:1 as a maximum. Work the site cast and
north from the entrance filling to final grade first in the south and continuing north.
Slopes from entrance should remain drivable. 1lxtend an all weather access road into
working face of fill area. As cell gets close to final grade install Swale and basin I and
continue Fill operation. During fill debris needs to be covered every 30 days or when it
reaches 1 acre of area. All slopes left exposed are to be covered, with material from
Borrow Area 1 as necessary, within 21 calendar days. Tie all slopes into existing; grade
at 3:1 slope at a maximum. As areas of Cell I reach final grade, permanently seed per
erosion control plan and remove sediment control devices after plant matcriai has been
established.
Cell 2
Work in cell 2 should progress from Cell 1 and to cast side of landfill making sure all
reclamation slopes are 3:1 prior to placement of debris fill. As soon as practical, install
the swale and sediment basin. Bring remaining surface to final grade including tie in

side of Cells) face of the landfill. Access road Should extend to Cells 1 and 2 should be
maintained at a maximum grade of I M Once final grade has been reached and covered
stabilize per erosion control plan. Continue to cover debris after 30 days or if 1 acre of
debris is exposed, which ever is less. All slopes left exposed are to be covered within 21
calendar days. As areas of Cell 2 reach final grade, permanently seed per erosion control
plan and remove sediment control devices after plant material has been established.
As Needed:
Instali diversion ditches and sediment basin in Borrow Area 2 (132) and final grade B1.
Permanently seed per erosion control plan and remove sediment control devices after
plant material has been established and seed.

Cell 3

access road into working face of fill area. All slopes left exposed are to be covered
within 21 calendar days. Install Swale and sediment basin at east edge of Cell as soon as
practical. The north slope should be graded and covered with dirt at 3:1 slope. Install
slope drain to floor of existing mine and grade the diversion ditch east along the top of
slope to divert stormwater to slope drain. As areas of Cell 3 reach final grade and
permanently seed per erosion control plan and remove sediment control devices after
plant material has been established.
Cell 4
Make sure all reclaimed mining slopes are at 3:1 as a maximum. Work the site north and
west from the entrance filling to final grade first in the south and continuing; north.
Slopes from entrance should remain drivable. Extend an all weather access road into
working face of fill area. As cell gets close to final grade install Swale and basin 4 and
continue till operation. Grade to meet final elevations with Cell l on east side. During;
fill debris needs to be covered every 30 days or when it reaches 1 acre of area. All slopes
left exposed are to be covered, with material from BI as necessary. within 21 calendar
days. Tie all slopes into existing grade at 3:1 slope at a maximum. As areas of'Cell 4
reach final grade and permanently seed per erosion control plan and remove sediment
control devices after plant material has been established.
Cell 5
Work in Cell 5 should progress from Cell 4 and to west side of landfill making sure all
reclamation slopes are 3:1 prior to placement of debris fill. As soon as practical, install
the Swale and sediment basin. Bring remaining surface to final grade including tie in
with Cell 2. All slopes should be tied in at a 3:1 maximum particularly on the west (mine

Raleigh, NC 27699 MINING PROGRAM
Subject: Weeks Sand Pit 42, Permit#43-28, addition of LCID Landfill
Dear Ms. Wehner;
I am writing in response to your letter of April 8 to Mr. Joseph Weeks regarding the
above referenced modification request. As you know, .I S Weeks Sand Inc. received
permission from NCDENR, Division of Waste Management to operate a 2 acre LCID
Landfill within the mining area of the sand pit. Our modification application had
originally requested that the Land Quality Section allow the LCID to cover the entire
mining area of the sand mine. While it is the goal of Weeks Sand to enlarge the 2 acre
LCID Landfill, we understand that your office must limit your approval for the LCID to
match the previously approved 2 acre area. Therefore, we are changing our request to
allow only the 2 acres currently approved by the Div. of Waste Management. If Weeks
Sand ultimately obtains approval to expand the LCID onto additional acreage, they will
make another modification request with your office.
At your request, a cross section of the LCID area has been added to the mine plan.
Please note in the narrative on the site plan a discussion concerning the buffers, slopes,
and backfill that may be rennired in some areas at this site.
Upon review of the overall site plan, it was discovered that portions of the sand mine
will extend below the water table, while other areas will not. Please note on the site plan
that the northern portion of the sand mine will extend several feet below the water table.
This area will be left as a lake upon reclamation. The remainder of the mining area will
remain several feet above the water table, and will be reclaimed accordingly. As stated
above, it is the ultimate goal to have this area eventually utilized as an LCID Landfill.
However, until approval is received from the Division of Waste Management, the
reclamation plan for this area will be grading and seeding to prevent erosion. The
reclamation bond has been recalculated based on the division of the Mining Area
between areas left as a lake, and areas left above water.

Dear Ms. Wehner;
As per our recent conversations, I am enclosing an application for modification of the
above-referenced Mining Permit, JS Weeks Sand, Inc. has recently received notification
from NCDIENR, Div. of Waste Management that their application for a Land Clearing
and Inert Debris (LCID) Landfill at this location was approved (see attached letter). In
addition, they applied for and received a Conditional use Permit from Harnett County for
this activity. The initial approval from the Div. of Waste Management was for 2 acres,
however work is ongoing to increase the size of the LCID to cover nearly all of the
current Mining Area as defined in the Mining Permit. Weeks Sand is incorporating the
LCID as part of their reclamation plan for this site.
Please note that the required buffer for the LCID is 100 feet between the landfill and
the property line. Since the mining limit buffer for this site is less than 100 feet, the final
slope of the mining excavation will be graded to a 3:1 slope and seeded according to
schedule as required in the current Mining Permit. The base of this slope may be very
near or intersect the slope of the landfill. In any case, all slopes will be stabilized, and all
runnoff will continue to be retained within the mining area, No new acreage will be
disturbed.
Weeks Sand would like to begin this activity as soon as possible. If you have any
mloslirnls- please call.
Sincerely,
yw

SUBJECT: Comments on the Mining Permit Application for:
Joey S. Weeks, Weeks Sand Company
Weeks Sand Pit#2
Harnett County
Please find attached a copy of the ruining permit application for the referenced project.
Based on the information contained in this permit application, it is unlikely that this mining
operation will have an unduly adverse impact on the area's ground water resources. This application
is for a modification to an existing permit to add approximately 13 acres to the mined area at this
site. This additional acreage is near a stream and the applicant reports that only 1,000 gallons per
day are required to dewater the pit.

and that additional topo info, cross sections, etc. are needed to
