NARRATIVE
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The purpose of this project is to clear approximately 400 acres
of Texasgulf Chemicals Company woodlands property in Richlands Township,
Beaufort County, North Carolina, and prepare the site for agricultural
crops. The areas on the site have been divided into Block A (601 acres),
Block B (160t acres) and Block C (175f acres). This division is for
descriptive and design purposes only and does not pertain to any later
seperation of the site into parcels.
The site is located adjacent to and along the southern and western
boundaries of current phosphate mining operations and is also bounded
on the South by N.C.S.R. 1942 and on the West by N.C.S.R. 1946. (Also
see the vicinity map.)
No new road construction is currently planned for the site other
than that necessary for farming equipment and no structures are proposed
for the site.
The entire site is under control of the owner and no easements
to the property are involved in the project.
SITE DESCRIPTION
The site is flat with Block C containing almost 0.% slope throughout
and Block A and B consisting of slopes less than 0.5% except adjacent
to the Porter Creek Canal where some approximate 37 slopes occur. Minor
erosion has occurred at the outfall from the field ditches in Block A
and from -the lead ditch from Block B. The field ditches have been excavated
at 170 foot spacing through the site to facilitate agricultural operations
and local cropland drainage.
ADJACENT PROPERTY
The lands to the Northeast of the site are industrial with open
pit mining operations currently in progress. No drainage offsite from
these operations will enter the site discussed herein.
' The lands upland from'Blocks A and B principally consist of timberland
and agricultural cropland. This area has been ditched and drained and
approximately 50% of the Porter Creek water shed is upstream of the drainage
1 discharge from Blocks A and B. Likewise the lands upland from Block
C are similar use and consist of again approximately 50% of the Whitehurst
Creek watershed.
' SOILS
The soils throughout the project are mixed, but consist in general
' of fine, sandy loam material. The subsoils vary and include some sandy
clays. (See the soil map for specifics.)

I
SCOPE OF THE WORK
IBLOCK A
1. Protect the Porter Creek Canal with silt fence.
2. Construct four (4) sediment basins to connect to the seven (7)
field ditches.
3. Install rock check dams in field ditches where slope velocity
of run requires.
4. Slope field ditch sides to 2:1 and create five (5) foot wide
vegetated buffer along each side.
5. Create vegetated buffer along both sides of Porter Creek Canal.
L6. Establish stable vegetation on the slopes of all ditches from the
invert up to the crest.
BLOCK B
1. Protect the Porter Creek Canal with silt fence.
2. Construct one (1) sediment basin to connect to lead ditch from
field ditches.
3. Install rock check dams in field ditches where slope velocity of runoff
requires.
4. Slope field ditches sides to 2:1 and create a five (5) foot
wide vegetated buffer along each side.
5. Slope road ditch bank along fields to 2:1 and create a five (5)
foot wide buffer along top of slope.
6. Create vegetated buffer along both sides of Porter Creek Canal.
7. Establish stable vegetation on the slopes of all ditches from the
invert up to the crest.
BLOCK C
1. Construct one (1) sediment basin along side the existing drainage
canal leading to Whitehurst Creek. Divert the canal flow into the
basin pool.
2. Install rock check dAms in field ditches where slope velocity of
runoff requires.
Q3. Establish stable vegetation on the slopes of all ditches from the
invert tip to the crest.

SCOPE OF THE WORK, CONT.
4. Slope field ditch sides to 2:1 and create a five (5) foot
wide vegetated buffer along each side.
5. Slope road ditch banks along fields to 2:1 and create a five
(5) foot wide buffer along the top of the slope.
PLANNED EROSION AND SEDIMENTATION PRACTICES
1. SEDIMENT BASINS - 6.61
Block A - A series of four (4) sediment basins will be constructed
at the outlets of the field ditches (2 ditches per basin)
with discharge to Porter Creek.
Block B. - A sediment basin will be constructed at the outlet of the
lead ditch from the field ditches with discharge to Porter
Creek.
Block C - A sediment basin will be constructed in the run of the
existing drainage canal with discharge back into the canal
to discharge later into Whitehurst Creek.
2. CHECK DAMS - 6.83
Block A - Temporary rock check dams have been placed at the field
ditch discharge outlets at the Porter Creek Canal.
Block B - Temporary rock check dams have been placed in the lead
ditch from the field ditches with discharge at the Porter
Creek Canal. Also a rock check dam has been placed in
the N.C.S.R. 1946 East side road ditch just before this
ditch discharges into the Porter Creek Canal.
3. LAND GRADING - 6.02
No changes of grade are to be made within the developed fields with
the exception of the excavation and construction of the sediment
basins. The back slopes of all field ditches and road ditches adjacent
to the project will be cut to 2:1 minimum slope and a 5 foot vegetated
buffer strip developed along the outside slopes of all ditches.
4. OUTLET STABILIZATION - 6.41
A riprap apron will be located at the outlet for each discharge culvert
from the sediment basins.

ICONSTRUCTION SCHEDULE
' 1. Obtain plan approval and other applicable permits.
2. Survey and mark grades, construction limits and locations for sediment
' basins and outlet structures.
3. Hold preconstruction conference at least one week prior to starting
' the work.
4. Install silt fencing at each work site.
' 5. Install sediment basins as the first construction activity.
6. Install field ditch outlet connections and other structures.
' 7. Finish slopes and vegetation planting around retention basins and
buffer strips along main canals.
' 8. Back slope field ditches and plant buffer strips.
9. All erosion and sedimentation control practices shall be inspected
' weekly and after each rainfall event. Needed repairs shall be taken
immediately.
10. Estimated time before final stabilization is nine (9) months.

IMAINTENANCE PLAN
' 1. All erosion and sediment control practices shall be checked for stability
and operation following every runoff producing rainfall and in no
case less than once every week during construction.
2. Upon completion of the work, the owner shall inspect the site following
every runoff producing rainfall and shall maintain a written log
of each inspection. Any needed repairs will be made immediately
' to maintain all practices as designed.
3. Each sediment basin in Block A and Block B will be cleaned out when
the level of sediment reaches 2 feet below the top of the riser.
Gravel will be cleaned or replaced when the sediment basin no longer
drains properly.
4. The Block C sediment basin shall be inspected and sediment build
up measured by sounding the pond on a yearly basis. When the sediment
buildup reaches the level of the entering ditch bottom, the channel
' will be diverted to the previous canal, the basin cleaned out and
restored to as designed condition.
5. Sediment will be removed from behind fencing when it becomes 0.5
feet deep behind the fence.
b. All seeded areas will be maintained such to sustain vegetation.
Any bare areas will be replanted as necessary.

CONSTRUCTION SPECIFICATIONS
BLOCK A & B
1. Prior to resumption of work on the site the following work must be
completed:
A. Install silt fencing along both the east and west sides of
Porter Creek Canal.
2. Use the sediment basins as source of fill material for the berm
construction. Material shall be free of roots and woody material.
Strip topsoil from berm location, scarify foundation and place
fill in 6" lifts over entire length of berm. Verify that material
compactions equals 95% by Standard Proctor Test.
3. Install perforated CMP Riser at approximately 10 feet from the
base of the outlet berm.
4. Install riser pipe outlet pipe complete with anti -seep collar
and assure that pipe joints are water tight. Install rip -rap
outlet protection at the end of the pipe.
NOTE: Do not direct field ditch flow to sediment basin until
berm is stabilized and outfall complete.
5. Anchor riser with 3000 psi concrete pad sized as shown on the
drawing.
6. Grade and seed inside slopes of sediment basin, emergency spillway
and all disturbed adjacent soil as described in the vegetation
plan.
7. Install field ditch outlet pipes to connect to sediment basins
as shown on the plans. Install outlet protection at all pipe
outlets.
8. Complete seeding of buffer strip along Porter Creek Canal. Buffer
shall be minimum of 25 feet wide and shall. extend from existing
vegetation along canal bank away from the canal and along both
sides.
9. field ditches shall be modified to have a minimum 2:1 side slope
throughout the site and along existing roadway where the fields adjoin
the roadway. Each field ditch shall have a 5 foot wide vegetated buffer
strip along each side and measured as 5 feet out from the top of the
slope to the ditch.
10. The exiting rip rap outfalls from the field ditches shall remain in
place and not to be removed or reused.
11. Install rip rap check dams within every field ditch where the invert
elevation of the ditch drops one (1) foot below the invert upstream.
This means that a check dam will be required in two (2) locations within
a ditch where the invert falls 2.5 feet over 400 feet as an example.
These check dams will be field located.

CONSTRUCTION SPECIFICATIONS
'
BLOCK C
1.
Install rip rap check dams at the outfall of each field ditch
and at every location along the field ditches where the invert
'
elevations drops one (1) foot below the invert upstream. This
means that a check dam will be required in two (2) locations
within a ditch where the invert falls 2.5 feet over 400 feet
tas
an example. These check dams will be field located.
2.
For construction of the sediment basin, it is intended that the
excavation be dry with the downstream outlet structure essentially
'
in place before opening the basin to the channel flow. The spoil
shall be placed adjacent to the excavation, spread and leveled
and seeded upon completion. To open the basin to the channel,
'
first the outlet is to excavated and the outlet rip rap completed.
At least 10 days after opening the outlet is to pass before the
intlet to the basin from the existing channel is to be opened.
'
This is to allow the basin excavation to stabilize.
3.
The interior bank slopes of the sediment pond are to be seeded
'
prior to opening the basin for channel flow.
4.
Field ditches are to be modified to have a minimum 2:1 side slope
throughout the site and along existing roadway where fields adjoin
'
the roadway. Each field ditch shall have a 5 foot wide vegetated
buffer strip along each side and measured as 5 feet out from
the top of the slope to the ditch.

VEGETATIVE PLAN
PERMANENT SEEDING
1. All disturbed areas are to be seeded within 30 working days
after final grade is reached.
2. Seed Mixture - General
Species Rate(lb/acne)
Tall Fescue SO
Pensacola Bahigrass 50
Kobe Lespedeza 20
German Millet 10
Note: The above mixture is best planted in early spring (Feb. 15-
Apr. 30) or fall (Sept. 1 - Oct 31). Should planting be
necessary in summer months increase rate of German Millet
to 40 lb./acre.
3. Soil Amendments
Apply lime and fertilizer according to soil tests or 4000 lb/
acre ground agricultural limestone and 1000 lb/acre 5-10-10 fertilizer.
Do Not apply fertilizer to buffer zone adjacent to main canals.
4. Mulch
Apply 4000--5000 lb/acre grain straw or equivalent cover of another
mulch with asphalt, roving or netting. Use netting on emergency
spillway slopes at each sediment basin.
5. Maintenance
(a) Mow no more than once per year.
(b) Re -fertilize in.the second year unless growth is fully adequate.
(c) Reseed, fertilize, and mulch damaged areas immediately.

' Definition Controlling runoff and erosion on disturbed areas by establishing perennial
vegetative cover with seed.
'
Purpose To reduce erosion and decrease sediment yield from disturbed areas, and to per-
manently stabilize such areas in a manner that is economical, adapts to site con-
ditions, and allows selection of the most appropriate plant, materials.

Conditions Where Fine -graded areas on which permanent, long-lived vegetative cover is the most
Practice Applies practical or most effective method of stabilizing the soil. Permanent seeding
'
may also be used on rough -graded areas that will not be brought to final grade
for a year or more.
'
Areas to be stabilized with permanent vegetation must be seeded or planted
within 30 working days or 120 calendar days after final grade is reached, unless
temporary stabilization is applied.
'
Planning Vegetation controls erosion by protecting bare soil surfaces from raindrop im-
Consideration s pact and by reducing the velocity and volume of overland flow.
'
The most common and economical means of stabilizing disturbed soils is by
seeding grasses and legumes. The advantages of seeding over other means of
establishing plants include the smaller initial cost, lower labor input, and greater
'
flexibility of method. The disadvantages of seeding include:
• potential for erosion during the establishment singe,
'
the need to reseed areas that fail to establish,
- seasonal limitations on suitable seeding dates, and
a need for water and appropriate temperatures during germination and
'
early growth.
The probability of successful plant establishment can be maximized through
good planning, knowledge of the soil characteristics (Table 6.11 a), selection of
'
suitable plant materials for the site, good seedbed preparation, adequate liming
and fertilization, and timely planting and maintenance.
'
SELECTING PLANT MATERIALS
Climate, soils, and topography are the major factors affecting the suitability or
plants for a particular site. All three of these factors vary widely across North
'
Carolina, with the most significant contrasts occurring among the three major
physiographic regions of the state —Mountains, Piedmont, and Coastal Plain
(Figure 6.11a).
To simplify plant selection, a Key to Permmenr Seeding Mixtures is presented
in Table 6.1 lb. To find seeding specifications for a specific site, follow this key
through the different steps —region, slope, soil, and maintenance level —to the
appropriate seeding number. Seeding mixtures recommended here are designed
for general use and are well proven in practical field situations (Tables 6.11 c

Practice Standards and Specifications
through 6.11v). They are designed to produce maximum stabilization and min-
imize the amount of maintenance and repair required.
Land use is a primary consideration in planning permanent seedings. For this
purpose land use, whether residential, industrial, commercial, or recreational,
can be divided into two general categories:
• High -maintenance areas are mowed frequently, limed and fertilized
regularly, and either (1) receive intense use (e.g., athletic fields) or (2) re-
quire maintenance to an aesthetic standard (e.g., home lawns). Grasses
used for these situations are long-lived perennials that form a tight sod
and are fine -leaved and attractive in appearance. They must be well -
adapted to the geographic area where they are planted and able to endure
the stress of frequent mowing. Sites where high -maintenance vegetative
cover is desirable include homes, industrial parks, schools, churches, and
recreational areas.
Low -maintenance areas are mowed infrequently or not at all, and do not
receive lime and fertilizer on a regular basis. Plants must persist with lit-
tle maintenance over long periods of time. Grass and legume mixtures are
favored for these sites because legumes are a source of soil nitrogen.
Mixed stands are also more resistant to adverse conditions. Sites suitable
for low -maintenance vegetation include steep slopes, stream or channel
banks, some commercial properties, and "utility" turf areas such as road -
banks.
SEEDBED PREPARATION
The soil on a disturbed site must be amended to provide an optimum environ-
ment for seed germination and seedling growth. The surface soil must be loose
enough for water infiltration and root penetration. The pH (acidity or alkalinity)
of the soil must be such that it is not toxic and nutrients are available --prefera-
bly between 6.0 and 6.5. Sufficient nutrients --added as fertilizer —must be
present.
It is as important to add lime as to add fertilizer. Lime is used primarily as a pl1,
or acidity, modifier, but it also supplies calcium and magnesium, which are im-
portant plant nutrients. By increasing soil pH it also makes other nutrients more
available to plants. At the same time, it prevents aluminum toxicity by decreas-
ing the solubility of soil aluminum. Many soils in North Carolina are high in
aluminum, which stunts plant growth.
After seed is in place, it must be protected with a mulch to hold moisture and
modify temperature extremes, while preventing erosion during seedling estab-
lishment.
STEEPSLOPES
The operation of equipment is restricted on slopes steeper than 3:1, severely
limiting the quality of the seedbed that can be prepared. The soil cannot be suf-
ficiently worked, and amendments cannot be thoroughly incorporated.
Provisions for establishment of vegetation on steep slopes can be made during
final grading. In construction of fill slopes, for example, the last4-6 inches might
be left uncompacted. A loose, rough seedbed is essential. Large clods and stones
6.11.3

L6

I
provide irregularities that hold seeds and fertilizer. Cut slopes should be rough-
ened (Practice 6.03, Surface Roughening).
Where steepness prohibits the use of farm machinery, seeding methods are
limited to broadcast or hydroseeding, with hydroseeding giving the most de-
pendable results. Vegetation chosen for these slopes must not require mowing
or other intensive maintenance. Using a hydraulic seeder, seed, fertilizer, wood
fiber mulch, and a tacking agent can be appl ied in one operation.
Good mulching practices are critical to protect against erosion on steep slopes.
When using straw, anchor with netting or asphalt. On slopes steeper than 2:1,
jute, excelsior, or synthetic matting may be required to protect the slope.
Specifications SEEDBED REQUIREMENTS
Establishmentof vegetation should not be attempted on sires that are unsuitable
due to inappropriate soil texture (Table 6.11a), poor drainage, concentrated
overland flow, or steepness of slope until measures have been taken to correct
these problems.
To maintain a good stand of vegetation, the soil must meet certain minimum re-
quirements as a growth medium. The existing soil should have these criteria:
• Enough fine-grained (silt and clay) material to maintain adequate mois-
ture and nutrient supply (available water capacity of at least .05 inches
water to I inch of soil).
Sufficient pore space to permit root penetration.
• Sufficient depth of soil to provide an adequate root zone. The depth to
rock or impermeable layers such as hardpans should be 12 inches or more,
except on slopes steeper than 2:1 where the addition of soil is not feasible.
• A favorable p11 range for plant growth, usually 6.0- 6.5.
• Freedom from large roots, branches, stones, large clods of earth, or trash
of any kind. Clods and stones may be left on slopes steeper than 11 if
they are to be hydroseeded.
If any of the above criteria are not met—i.e., if the existing soil is too coarse,
dense, shallow oracidic to foster vegetation —special amendments are required.
The soil conditioners described below may be beneficial or, preferably, topsoil
may be applied in accordance with Practice 6.04, Topsoiling.
SOIL CONDITIONERS
In order to improve the structure or drainage characteristics of a soil, the fol-
lowing materials may be added. These amendments should only be necessary
where soils have limitations that make them poor for plant growth or for fine
turf establishment (see Chapter 3, vegetative Considerations).
Peat —Appropriate types are sphagnum moss peat, hypnum moss peat, recd-
sedge peat, or peat humus, all from fresh -water sources. Peat should be shredded
and conditioned in storage piles for at least 6 months after excavation.
Sand —clean and free of toxic materials.

Vermiculite --horticultural grade and free of toxic substances
Rotted manure —stable or cattle manure not containing undue amounts of
straw or other bedding materials.
Thoroughly rotted sawdust —free of stones and debris. Add 6 lb of nitrogen
to each cubic yard.
Sludge —Treated sewage and industrial sludges are available in various forms;
these should be used only in accordance with local, State, and Federal regula-
tions.
SPECIES SELECTION
Use the Key to Permanent Seeding Mixtures (Table 6.1lb) to select the most
appropriate seeding mixture based on the general site and maintenance factors.
A listing of species, including scientific names and characteristics, is given in
Appendix 8.02.
SEEDBED PREPARATION
Install necessary mechanical erosion and sedimentation control practices before
seeding, and complete grading according to the approved plan.
Lime and fertilizer needs should be determined by soil tests. Soil testing is per-
formed free of charge by the North Carolina Department of Agriculture soil test-
ing laboratory. Directions, sample cartons, and information sheets are available
through county Agricultural Extension offices or from NCDA. Because the
NCDA soil testing lab requires 1-6 weeks for sample turn -around, sampling
must be planned well in advance of final grading. Testing is also done by com-
mercial laboratories.
When soil tests are not available, follow rates suggested on the individual
specification sheet for the seeding mix chosen (Tables 6.11c through 6.1lv).
Application rates usually fall into the following ranges:
Ground agricultural limestone:
Light -textured, sandy soils: 1-1 1/2 tons/acre
heavy -textured, clayey soils: 2-3 tons/acre
• Fertilizer:
Grasses: 800-1200 lb/acre of 10-10-10 (or the equivalent)
Grass -legume mixtures: 800-1200 lb/acre of 5-10-10 (or the equivalent)
Apply lime and fertilizer evenly and incorporate into the top 4-6 inches of soil
by disking or other suitable means. Operate machinery on the contour. When
using a hydroseeder, apply lime and fertilizer to a rough, loose surface.
Roughen surfaces according to Practice 6.03, Surface Roughening.
Complete seedbed preparation by breaking up large clods and raking into a
smooth, uniform surface (slopes less than 3:1). Fill in or level depressions that
can collect water. Broadcast seed into a freshly loosened seedbed that has not
been sealed by rainfall.

' SEEDING
Seeding dates given in the seeding mixture specifications (Tables 6.11 c through
6.11v) are designated as "best" or "possible". Seedings properly carried out
' within the "best" dates have a high probability of success. It is also possible to
have satisfactory establishment when seeding outside these dates. However, as
you deviate from them, the probability of failure increases rapidly. Seeding on
the last date shown under "possible" may reduce chances of success by 30-50%.
' Always take this into account in scheduling land -disturbing activities.
Use certified seed for permanent seeding whenever possible. Certified seed. is
' inspected by the North Carolina Crop Improvement Association. It meets
published North Carolina Standards and should bear an official "Certified Seed"
label (Figure 6.11b).

Labeling of non -certified seed is also required by law. Labels contain important
' information on seed purity, germination, and presence of weed seeds. Seed must
meet State standards for content of noxious weeds. Do not accept seed contain-
ing "prohibited" noxious weed seed.
' Inoculate legume seed with the Rhizobium bacteria appropriate to the species
of legume (Chapter 3. Vegetative Considerations).
' Apply seed uniformly with a cyclone seeder, drop -type spreader, drill, cul-
tipacker seeder, or hydroseeder on a firm, friable seedbed.
I
6.11.6

Practice Standards and Specifications
When using a drill or cultipacker seeder, plant small grains no more than 1 inch
deep, grasses and legumes no more than 1/2 inch. Equipment should be cali-
brated in the field for the desired seeding rate.
When using broadcast -seeding methods, subdivide the area into workable sec-
tions and determine the amount of seed needed for each section. Apply one -hair
the seed while moving back and forth across the area, making a uniform pat-
tern; then apply the second half in the same way, but moving at right angles to
the first pass (Figure 6.11c).

Seeding Pattern

Cover broadcast seed by raking or chain dragging; then firm the surface
with a roller or cultipacker to provide good seed contact.
' Mulch all plantings immediately after seeding (Practice 6.14, Mulching).
HYDROSE:EDING
' Surface roughening is particularly important when hydrosceding, as a rough-
ened slope will provide some natural coverage for lirpe, fertilizer, and seed. The
surface should not be compacted or smooth. Fine seedbed preparation is not
necessary for hydroseeding operations; large clods, stones, and irregularities
provide cavities in which seeds can lodge.
'
Rate of wood fiber (cellulose) application should be at least 2,000 lb/acre.
Apply legume inoculants at four times the recommended rate when adding in-
oculanl to a hydroseeder slurry.
If a machinery breakdown of 1/2 to 2 hours occurs, add 50% more seed to the
tank, based on the proportion of the slurry remaining. This should compensate
'
for damage to seed. Beyond 2 hours, a full rate of new seed may be necessary.
Lime is not normally applied with a hydraulic seeder because it is abrasive. It
'
can be blown onto steep slopes in dry form.

SPRIGGING
Hybrid Bermudagrass cannot be grown from seed and must be planted vcgem-
Lively. Vegetative methods of establishing common and hybrid Bermudagrass,
centipedegrass, and Bahiagrass include sodding, plugging and sprigging (Chap-
ter 3, Vegetative Considerations). Sprigs are fragments of horizontal stems
which include at least one node (joint). They are normally sold by the bushel
and can either be broadcast or planted in furrows using a tractor -drawn tobac-
co or vegetable transplanter.
Figure 6.11d Proper placement of grass
sprigs. Each sprig should have at least one
node (modified from NCAES Bulletin AG-69).
Furrows should be 4-6 inches deep and 2 ft apart. Place sprigs about 2 ft apart
in the row with one end at or above ground level (Figure 6.1 Id).

Broadcast sprigs at the specified rate (Tables 6.1Ir and 6.1 Is). Press into the
top 1/2-2 inches of soil with a cultipacker or with a disk set nearly straight so
that the sprigs are not brought back to the surface.
IRRIGATION
Moisture is essential for seed germination and seedling establishment. Sup-
plemental irrigation can be very helpful in assuring adequate stands in dry
seasons or to speed development of full cover. It is a requirement for fine turf
establishment and should be used elsewhere when feasible. However, irrigation
is rarely critical for low -maintenance vegetation planted at the appropriate time.
of the year.
Water application rates must be carefully controlled to prevent runoff. Inadc-
quate or excessive amounts of water can be more harmful than no supplemen-
tal water.
Maintenance Generally, a stand of vegetation cannot be determined to be fully established
' until soil cover has been maintained for one full year from planting. Inspect
seeded areas for failure and make necessary repairs and reseedings within the
same season, if possible.
Reseeding ---If a stand has inadequate cover, re-evaluate choice of plant mat.c-
rials and quantities of lime and fertilizer. Re-establish the stand after seedbed
' preparation or over -seed the stand. Consider seeding temporary, annual spec ies
if the time of year is not appropriate for permanent seeding (Practice 6.10, Tem-
porary Seeding).

'
Practice Standards and Specifications
If vegetation fails to grow, soil be must tested to determine if acidity or nutrient
imbalance is responsible.
Fertilization ---On the typical disturbed site, full establishment usually requires
refertilization in the second growing season. Fine turf requires annual main-
tenance fertilization (Table 6.12b). Use soil tests if possible or follow the
'
guidelines given for the specific seeding mixture (Tables 6A Ic through 6.11 v).

ground agricultural limestone and 1,000 lb/acre 10-10-10 fertilizer.
Mulch
Apply 4,000 lb/acre grain straw or equivalent cover of another suitable
mulch. Anchor straw by tacking with asphalt, netting, or roving or by crimp-
ing with a mulch anchoring tool. A disk with blades set nearly straight can
be used as a mulch anchoring tool.
Maintenance
Refertilize in the second year unless growth is fully adequate. May be
mowed once or twice a year, but mowing is not necessary. Reseed, fertil-
ize, and mulch damaged areas immediately.

ADDENDUM P J
EROSION & SEDIMENTATION CONTROL PLAN
FOR
TEXASGULF CHEMICALS CO.
FARM LAND DEVELOPMENT PROJECT
BLOCKS A,B, & C
JOB NO:: 90088
Prepared By: Robert M. Chiles, P.E.

July 5, 1990

'
A. NARRATIVE
In order
to address the requirement for revisions and additional information
listed in the N. C. Department of E.H.N.R., Division of Land Resources, Land
'
Quality Section dated June 15, 1990, this Addendum #1 has been prepared.
'
The detail work sheets are attached, but the summary of revisions
and additional information is as follows:
1. (a)
The settling efficiency for each basin in the initial design
'
was based upon Section 8.07 of the North Carolina "Erosion
& Sediment Control Manual" where 0.01 acres of basin per one
(1) cubic foot/second runoff will provide 75% efficiency.
'
(b)
The peak runoff flow rates were calculated using USDA/SCS
"Guide for Sediment Control on Construction Sites."
'
(c)
The settling efficiency for a singlewall basin was also
computed utilizing formula published by Dr. H. Rooney Malcom,
Jr. of N. C. State University and indicates 67% to 76% efficiency.
Since the field ditch check dams serve as additional "cells"
in the runoff treatment, the settling efficiency of the
basins as designed should exceed 70% for 40 micron size soil
'
particles. '
(d)
The inflow and outflow hydrograph and storm storage curves
are attached as part of Addendum #1.
2. (a)
Primary spillways were designed to flow 0.2 cfs/acre for
Section 8.07.2 of the North Carolina "Erosion and Sediment
'
Control Manual".
(b)
Emergency spillways were designed for 25 year/24 hour peak
discharge as follows:
'
Block A: Q = 133.2 cfs.
Block B: Q = 233 cfs.
'
Block C: Q = 421 cfs.
3. (a)
The emergency spillways were shown relocated td the uphill
'
side of the basins with a grass lined swale around the basin.
4. (a)
The use of two (2) basins rather than four (4) has been
reviewed, but it is our opinion that the larger combined
'
basins would require additional berm construction and fill
along Porter Creek to enclose the basins. We initially
considered the combined basins, and would discuss it further
'
if desired. We therefore continue to recommend four (4) basins.

'
S.
A. The "Scope of Work" has been revised add as follows:
'
SCOPE OF
THE WORK
BLOCK A
'
1.
Protect the Porter Creek Canal with silt fence:.
2.
Construct four (4) sediment basins to connect to the seven (7)
field ditches.
3.
Install rock check dams in field ditches where slope velocity
'
of run requires.
4.
Slope field ditch sides to 2:1 and create five (5) foot wide
vegetated buffer along each side.
5.
Create vegetated buffer along both sides of Porter Creek Canal.
Qb.
Establish stable vegetation on the slopes of all ditches from the
'
invert up to the crest.
BLOCK B
t1.
Protect the Porter Creek Canal with silt fence.
2.
Construct one (1) sediment basin to connect to lead ditch from
'
3.
field ditches.
Install rock check dams in field ditches where slope velocity of runoff
requires.
4.
Slope field ditches sides to 2:1 and create a five (5) foot
t
wide vegetated buffer along each side.
5.
Slope road ditch bank along fields to 2:1 and create a five (5)
foot wide buffer along top of slope.
b.
Q7.
Create vegetated buffer along both sides of Porter Creek Canal.
Establish stable vegetation on the slopes of all ditches from the
invert up to the crest.
'
BLOCK C
1.
Construct one (1) sediment basin along side the existing drainage
'
canal leading to Whitehurst Creek. Divert the canal flow into the
basin pool.
'
2.
Install rock check dams in field ditches where slope velocity of
runoff requires.
'
Q 3.
Establish stable vegetation on the slopes of all ditches from the
invert up to the crest.
I

' SCOPE OF THE WORK, CONT.
' 4. Slope field ditch sides to 2:1 and create a five (5) foot
wide vegetated buffer along each side.
5. Slope road ditch banks along fields to 2:1 and create a five
(5) foot wide buffer along the top of the slope.
PLANNED EROSION AND SEDIMENTATION PRACTICES
' 1. SEDIMENT BASINS - 6.61
' Block A - A series of four (4) sediment basins will be constructed
at the outlets of the field ditches (2 ditches per basin)
with discharge to Porter Creek.
' Block B - A sediment basin will be constructed at the outlet of the
lead ditch from the field ditches with discharge to Porter
Creek.
1 Block C - A sediment basin will be constructed in the run of the
existing drainage canal with discharge back into the canal
to discharge later into Whitehur.st Creek.
2. CHECK DAMS 6.83
I
Block A - Temporary rock check dams have been placed at the field
ditch discharge outlets at the Porter. Creek Canal.
' Block B - Temporary rock check dams have been placed in the lead
ditch from the field ditches with discharge at the Porter
Creek Canal. Also a rock check dam has been placed in
the N.C.S.R. 1946 East side road ditch just before. this
' ditch discharges into the Porter Creek Canal.
3. LAND GRADING - 6.02
No changes of grade are to be made within the developed fields with
the exception of the excavation and construction of the sediment
' basins. The back slopes of all field ditches and road ditches adjacent
to the project will be cut to 2:1 minimum slope and a 5 foot vegetated
buffer strip developed along the outside slopes of all ditches.
' 4. OUTLET STABILIZATION — 6'.41
A riprap apron will be located at the outlet for each discharge culvert
' from the sediment basins.

Dear Mr. Gardner:
This is in response to your Notice of Violation of Mining Permit
dated May 11, 1990. Attached is a letter to me from Curtis
Brown, Land Supervisor, stating that a groundcover has been
seeded and mulch applied on all required areas, within the 30-
day deadline as outlined on page 2, point 3 in the NOV.
I believe that the completion of this activity fulfills the 3-
point requirements listed in the NOV. If you have any

Please note that the corrective actions which were required to
be completed within 30 days according to the Notice of Violation
of Mining Permit dated May 11, 1990 from the Division of Land
Resources have been completed.
Groundcover has been applied on all exposed roadside ditch slopes
and all exposed slopes associated with recent culvert
replacements on NC SR 1946. A vegetative buffer has been
provided along the permit boundary side adjacent to Porter Creek
just east of NC SR 1946.
All seeding has not yet germinated, mainly because excessive
rainfall on May 28 prevented the timely placement of the straw
mulch over all of the seeded areas. On areas where the mulch was
placed before May 28, germination is excellent and green grasses
are appearing.
Please call if there are questions.

Dear Mr. Regan,
On May 10, 1990, Kevin H. Miller of this office conducted an
investigation of a possible violation of the water quality
standard for turbidity in Porter Creek adjacent to land -
clearing operations on your site.
Mr. Miller collected water samples in Porter Creek from the
headwaters to the NC SR 1936 bridge and near the outfall of
one of the ditches that drains land recently cleared in
advance of mining activities. Approximately five meters
downstream of the outfall of your drainage ditch, the
turbidity of Porter Creek was 88 NTU (nephelometric
turbidity units).
You are hereby notified that this constitutes a violation of
Title 15A of the North Carolina Administrative Code,
Subchapter 2B, Section .0211 Fresh Surface Water
Classifications and Standards, (b) (3) (K) Turbidity —which

will not exceed 50 Nephelometric Turbidity Units (NTU)... if
turbidity exceeds this] level due to natural background
conditions, the existing turbidity level cannot be
increased." This section of the North Carolina

Texasgulf Gets Erosion Deadline
Fines Could Exceed $10,000 A Day For Continued Violations
B'v J_ Ward Best
THE DAILY REFLEC 0
Texasgulf expects to meet the
state-s deadline for ending soil ero-
sion ti-jolations at the mining site
near Porter Creek in Beaufort Coun-
ty. a company spokesman said,
If the phosphate mining company
does not meet the deadline for in-
stallin2 erosion control measures, it
could lose its mining perm;; or face
more than S10.000 a day in viola-
tiops.
The state Division of Land
Resources and Division of En-
vironmental Management Monday
sent the Aurora mining company
notices of violation for erosion con-
trol and sedimentation violations
from clearing operations on nearIN.
300 acres southwest of the current
mine.
The violations involved the com-
PanY's reining permit and state
standards for stream degradation.
"Of course, what we're doing the

The division could also move to

The company is clearing nearly

"We're making progres_ on all

Carpenter said the company mov-

problems as soon as it learned of
them, and plans to heed the slate's
recommendations for corrective ac-
tions.
He said he did not know how long
it '•.ti•ould take to completely install
the erosion control devices or how
much they would cost.
"Our intent is to comply with what
they're implying." Carpenter said.
"And 1 think we've done that in a
responsible manner.'
Lorraine Shinn. head of the
regional office of the Department of
Environment, Health and Natural

continue to monitor Porter Creek for
any further turbidity problems.
"Hopefully. if they install proper
sedimentation and erosion control,
the problem will be corrected.'- she
said. "'r'w'e hope so for the sake of the

An inspector from the Division of
Land Resources inspected the
Pamlico River tributary Monday for
possible violation of erosion control
measures in Texasgulf's mining
permit. results of field tests taken
this week could lead to further in-
vestigations by the state en-
vironmental office, according to a
stateofficial,
"We did find violations of the min
ing permit. They were having off•
site sedimentation," said Charles
Gardner, director of the-i)ivisiot,of
Land Resources.
"There's a good bit of soil running
off the land -clearing activities into
the headwaters of Porter Creek,"
Gardner said, "We consider it a
serious matter."
The permit violation could lead to
a notice of violation against Tex-
asgulf and a possible fine, Gardner
said.

take," be said. "If we send them a
notice of violation, if will have a

Gardner said he Gould not elabo-

against the company for the permit
violations. He said the matter was

A spokesman for Texasgulf sail
today the company has already
moved to correct any erivitonmeptal
problems caused by its clearing ac-
tivities.
"We on Monday had controls in
place at the major ditches to prevent
any further materials from entering
Porter Greek," said J, Randolph
Carpenter, the manager of public
relations and governmental affairs
for Texasgulf.
"We tried to get on it as quickly as
we could to eorrect any problems,"
he said.
Carpenter said the company was
clearing $00 acres southwest of the
eompany's current phosphate min-
ing operations for agricultural use.
The violations only pertain to a 300-
acre site permitted for mining
operations.
"When they're issued a permit,
the, have a certain permit bound-
ary," said Floyd Williams, the
regional engineer with Land Quality
who inspected the site.
"Within that boundary, and cer-
tainly the perimeter, they have to
use certain sediment erosion control
measures to prevent sediment from
entering natural water courses and
surrounding property," he said,

Although the state has not yet

Dear Mr. Schimming:
Your letter addressed to Gordon Layton dated April 25,
1990 has been, forwarded to me for reply.
William L. Meyer
Director
You requested an opinion from our office on the disposal of
wood treated products, i.e. railroad ties and telephone poles
within the Texasgulf refuse disposal area. We use the term refuse
disposal area in that mining refuse regulated by the North
Carolina Mining Act, G.S. 74-46 and 74-68 is not regulated under
the North Carolina Solid Waste Management Act G.S. 1.30A-294,
except for hazardous waste. Therefore, your reference to the
Texasgulf Demolition Landfill implying a permitted Solid Waste
Demolition Landfill is incorrect.
For guidance purposes, we will state to you that we do allow
scrap lumber, i.e. treated lumber to be disposed within permitted
demolition landfills regulated under the Solid Waste Management
Act. We do not allow any disposal of any solid wastes into ground
waters a sepa`r-a-t on ist�n__.basedupon
ssite
character �ics� some i
.and in cases, ground water montoring wells.
We would encourage Texasgulf to recover and recycle as much
waste as possible from the plant site including scrap lumber.
Senate Bill 111 An Act to Improve the Management of Solid Waste
which was passed in the last session of the Legislature, calls for
a 25% reduction in the total solid waste stream land disposed by
January 1, 1993. Our office is working with local governments and
industry across the State to achieve this goal.

RE: Texasgulf Demolition Landfill
Dear Mr. Layton:
Attached is a copy of an April 30, 1987 letter from Mr. R. Paul
Wilms to Texasgulf regarding the use of Texasgulf's demolition
landfill in Beaufort County. You will note that toward the
bottom of the first page, the letter states "[t]he Division will
agree that scrap lumber, scrap pipe, scrap metal which cannot be
accepted by the salvage yard, dirt or other debris from clearing
and ditch maintenance or other earth moving activities or roots
and stumps from land clearing can be deposited in the demolition
dump without restriction or permit." (emphasis added).
In reliance on this letter, Texasgulf has included among the
materials disposed in the demolition landfill used railroad ties
and utility poles. We believe that the term "scrap lumber"
encompasses such materials. Webster's defines lumber as "timber
or logs esp. after being prepared for the market." Webster's
Third New International Dictionary (unabridged) 1345 (1986).
Our attorney informs us that the word "lumber" has been defined
very broadly by the courts of various states, to include such
diverse wood products as railroad ties, fenceposts, and even
wood chips. The essence of the definition of lumber, both in
the dictionaries and in the courts, seems to be that it is wood
products that have been prepared in some way for market, as
opposed to timber or logs which have not been prepared at all
for market. We, therefore, believe that large dimension lumber,
such as our railroad ties and utility poles, are included in the
general definition of lumber. Our used and discarded railroad
ties and telephone poles should therefore be included in the
definition of scrap lumber.

Mr. Gordon Layton
April 25, 1990
Page 2
We are writing to you regarding this matter because we have
recently learned that the current regulations of the Division
regarding demolition landfills may not allow the disposal of
treated wood products in demolition fills. Since we disposed of
these materials in reliance on Mr. Wilms' 1987 letter, we
believe that this disposal was permissible. However, we would
like Division concurrence in this opinion. The site at which
these materials are disposed will become inaccessible in
approximately 6 weeks. If there should be any need for removal,
we need to accomplish that prior to that time.
Please let us hear from you at your earliest convenience
regarding this matter. If we do not hear from you we will take
that as an indication of the Division's concurrence, and will
proceed with the activities that will cause this area to be
inaccessible.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely yours,
William A. Schimmind

SUBJECT: Texasgulf Demolition Dump
Beaufort County
Dear Mr. Schimming:
R. Raul Wilms
Director
This is in response to your letter of 17 April 1987
concerning approval of the demolition dump at Texasgulf.
According to your Letter and the attachments, the list of
materials furnished by you to Mr. Charles Gardner are exempt from
the solid waste rules. The Solid & Hazardous Waste Management
Branch of the Environmental Health Section calls to your attention
the fact that the site has not been determined suitable for the
disposal of asbestos.
North Carolina administrative code Title 15 02H .0217 states
that treatment works and disposal systems in the form of solid
waste disposal sites approved in accordance with regulations of
the Commission for Health Services are deemed to be permitted
pursuant to G.S.143-215.1 (d). Since the Solid & Hazardous waste
Management Branch, has advised you that the materials list
furnished to Mr. Charles Gardner are exempt from permitting
requirements of the Solid Waste rules, it is apparent that the
demolition dump will require a permit from the Division of
Environmental Management. Permit application should address
off -grade or scrap fertilizer, metal drums or cans, any paper
products including boxes, cartons, packing materials or bags, oil,
oil based materials or oil contaminated materials and chemicals
which may be considered hazardous. The Division will agree that
scrap lumber, scrap pipe, scrap metal which cannot be accepted by
the salvage yard, dirt or other debris from clearing and ditch
maintenance or other earth moving activities and roots or stumps
from land clearing can be deposited in the demolition dump without
restriction or permit. The other materials as enumerated above
including asbestos, must be handled as solid waste and must have a

permit issued by the Division of Environmental Management or the
Division of Health Services. I trust that this matter may be
resolved in a reasonably prompt fashion. I will await further
contact from you concerning a request for a permit or a
demonstration that the materials are to be disposed of in an
approved solid waste landfill.

Re: Notice of Violation Dated May 11, 1990,
of Mining Permit No. 7-01
Dear Mr. Gardner:
Texasgulf acknowledges receipt of your Notice of Violation of
Mining Permit No. 7-01 dated May 11, 1990.
Texasgulf is concerned that runoff from its activities may have
inadvertently contributed to the turbidity in Porter Creek as a
result of unusually heavy rainfall during early May. Texasgulf
has met with Mr. Williams and other members of your Division and
has completed corrective actions (1) and (2) as provided by the
NOV. Texasgulf will also take corrective action (3) as
described in the NOV.
Please be assured that Texasgulf will continue working with your
office in our sedimentation control efforts in the areas covered
by our Mining Permit, including the selection of appropriate
best management practices such as the corrective actions already
undertaken.

Dear Mr. Regan,
On May 14, 1990, Deborah Sawyer of this office and John
Dorney of the Division's Central Office in Raleigh conducted
an investigation of a possible violation of the water
quality standard for turbidity in Porter Creek adjacent to
land -clearing operations on your site.
Ms. Sawyer and Mr. Dorney collected water samples in Porter
Creek from the headwaters to the NC SR 1936 bridge. The
turbidity of Porter Creek at the second crossing of NC SR
1946 north of the intersection with NC SR 1958 was 73 NTU
(nephelometric turbidity units).
You are hereby notified that this constitutes a violation of
Title 15A of the North Carolina Administrative Code,
Subchapter 2B, Section .0211 Fresh Surface Water
Classifications and Standards, (b) (3) (K) Turbidity —which
states in part that "...the turbidity in the receiving water
will not exceed 50 Nephelometric Turbidity Units (NTU)... if
turbidity exceeds this] level due to natural background
conditions, the existing turbidity level cannot be
increased." This section of the North Carolina
Administrative Code was duly adopted pursuant to North
Carolina General Statutes (NCGS or G.S.) 143•-214.I. which

Texasgulf Gets Erosion Deadline
Fines Could Exceed $10,000 A Day For Continued Violations
By J. Ward Best
7HE DAILY REFLECTOR
Texasgulf expects to meet the
state s deadline for ending soil ero-
sion ti-iolations at the mining site
near Porter Creek in Beaufort Coun-
ty. a company spokesman said.
If the phosphate mining company
does rot meet the deadline for in-
stalling erosion control measures, it
could I-3se its mining permit or face
more than 510.000 a day in viola-
tion-.
The state Division of Land
Resources and Division of En-
vironmental Management Monday
sent the Aurora mining company
notices of violation for erosion con-
trol and sedimentation violations
from clearing operations on nearly
300 acres southwest of the current
mine.
The violations involved the com-
pany's mining permit and state
standards for stream degradation.
"of course, what we're doing, the
actions we're taking to respond to
the Division of land resources, will
rectifv the situation and that should
satisfy the Division of Environmen-
lal 'lfanagement," said J. Randolph
Carpenter, manager of public rela-
tions and governmental affairs for
Texasgulf.
The Division of Land Resources
notice requires Texasgulf to submit
a plan for permanent erosion control
measures within five to seven days.
If the measures are not put in place,
the division could fine Texasgulf
Sifs', for each violation.
The division could also move to
revoke the company's mining per-
mit if the violations continue.
Under its state permit. Texasgulf
must keep soil from leaving the site
during land -disturbing activities.
The company is clearing nearly
800 acres near Porter Creek for ag-
ricultural use; 300 acres in the block
fall into the company's present min-
ing area.
The notice from the Division of
(See TEXAZ' Environgiental ltlanagenien, carries
a much heavier Violation. T^e colii-
pany faces fines of as r-:uch as
S10.000 per day if turbidity v:c,Ia6on-
continue in Porter Creek.
Turbidity measures the amount of
soil particles suspended m the
cater. Tests taken by DEM Thurs-
day on water from Porter= Creek
showed turbidity more thar: 530 per-
cent higher than allowab:e stan-
dards.
The hay bales and silt fence_ the
company inswwed last week 7 ill not
pass as a permanent solution to the
erosion problems. according to the
state. The Division o: Land
Resources outlined temporary- and
permanent erosion control Measures
Texasgulf needs to take to solve its
problems, including groundcover on
exposed areas and filtration ditches
around the site.
"We're making progress on all
those areas,- Carpenter said.
Carpenter said the comp-fl mov-
ed to correct erosion and turbidity
problems as soon as it learned of
them, and plans to heed the State's
recommendations for corrective ac-
tions.
He said lie did not know hov. long
it would take to completely install
the erosion control devices or how
much they would cost.
"our intent is to comply vjth, what
they're implying.•• Carpenter said.
"And I think we've done that in a
responsible manner."
Lorraine Shinn. head of the
regional office of the Department of
Environment, Health and matural
Resources. said the agency would
continue to monitor Porter Creek for
any further turbidity problems
"Hopefully, if they install proper
sedimentation and erosion control•
the problem will be corrected.-• she
said. "We hope so Far the sake of the
river and the creek.'

Dear Mr. Schimming:
On August 2, 1989, an inspection was made
Creek Mine (Permit #7-1) in Beaufort County, as
74-56 of The Mining Act of 1971.
Lorraine G. Shinn
Regional Manager
of Texasgulf's Lee
required by G.S.
Mr. Bob Thomas and Mr. Webb Walker accompanied me during the
inspection. I was pleased to see the continued efforts being
made toward reclamation at the R1 blend pond and adjacent areas
and reclamation related work being carried out at the Charles
Tract.
The inspection revealed that the mining operation is in
compliance with operating and reclamation conditions of your
mining permit.
The six months' reclamation activities and research reports
that are being filed with the Land Quality Section, as required
by Reclamation Condition 2E. of your mining permit, are
excellent tools for Land Quality personnel to utilize during our
inspections.
I will be inspecting Texasgulf's mining operations at least
every three months. My next scheduled inspection will be on
November 2, 1989.

Texasgulf is continuing on with its drainage program
for the Charles Tract. To this end, we would like appro,,al to
install a pair of 30-inch culverts through the interior dike
connecting Clay Ponds No. 2 and No. 4B. This will eliminate
most of the water ponded on No. 4B. Attached is Drawing No.

As you are aware, Texasgulf is currently in the middle of an
Environmental Impact Statement, which will cover approximately
12,000 acres. While the EIS process continues, we can only
mine in upland areas, the largest block of which is south of the
Creekmur Road (S.R. 1942). We will shortly be submitting a
request to modify our Mine Permit 7-1 to add land south of the
current mine to carry us through the EIS process, and have held
preliminary discussions on the modification with Charles
Gardner and Tom Carroll.
However, long before we can mine in an area, we need to develop
a corridor consisting of canals and a road around the perimeter
of that area. Because of this, we are requesting permission to
establish this corridor between S.R. 1942 and Whitehurst Creek,
as shown on the attached photo, before a modification of Mine
Permit 7-1 is received. This would allow us to take advantage
of the good weather during this time of the year.
The same attached photo that outlines the corridor development
area also has our current mining permit areas outlined by solid
lines, and the area that the Corps of Engineers has officially
stated contains no wetlands outlined by a dashed line. The
outer edge of excavated ditch will be a minimum distance of 75
feet away from the Corps jurisdictional line at all times.
Also attached is a cross section of the typical mining/utility
corridor that would be constructed. We will carry out the same
sediment and erosion control operations that are specified in
our current Mine Permit 7-1 as we develop this new corridor.
These specifications state that adequate mechanical barriers
shall be provided to prevent sediment from discharging onto
adjacent surface areas or into any lake or natural watercourse
in proximity to the affected land.

The final attachments are a letter from N.C. DOT authorizing
abandonment of portions of S.R. 1941 and S.R. 1942, and a photo
outlining those portions of road that the letter references.
We have installed a series of locked gates to restrict access
to these sections of road.
If you have any questions regarding this matter, please contact
Jeff Furness or myself.

Dear Jim:
On August 30, 19$8 I wrote you with a proposal for the
addition of certain materials to our Blend Operation. As
discussed in recent telephone conversations, we are particularly
anxious to arrive at a decision concerning the addition of soil
which has been contaminated with sulfur. As you know, we have
removed the sulfur vat at our operations and shipped the sulfur
back to Texas for remelting and filtering. That removal
operation, which eliminated a source of possible S02 tresulting
from fires), resulted in a large quantity of soil which contain
low levels of sulfur. This snail has been stored on our gypsum
piles. However, it is our practice not to keep gypsum piles
forever, but to blend them in with clays as part of our land
reclamation activities. As you are aware from the sulfur
analyses sent with my letter, the ash in the sulfur is largely an
iron sulfate. Sulfur itself is insoluable in water and poses
minimal toxicity even upon ingestion. For these reasons, we
believe the most environmentally appropriate disposal method for
this contaminated soil is to put it in with our blend which
already contains a very high sulfate level.
We are anxious to reach an agreement with you on this
subject at a very early date because some of the stored soil is
currently at a location that we are about to blend, and it is
estimated that it will cost us over 930,000 to relocate the soil.
I look forward to resolving this issue with you in the
coming week.
Sincerely, -
W. A. Schimmin

SUBJECT: Texasgulf's Five Year Proposal Information
September 27, 1988 Department Personnel
Meeting in Washington Regional Office
DATE: October 4, 1988
As promised, enclosed is information on the above subject matter.
On July 19, 1988 I attended a Scoping Meeting at Texasgulf
concerning their 5 year mine proposal. Approximately 35 people
representing a number of state agencies, federal agencies and
Texasgulf attended the meeting.
The issues were Texasgulf's proposal to relocate Hwy. 306 and
mine the approximately 960 acres (5 year mine plan) which is shown on
the enclosed 1990-1995 mining plan (Figure 2). The Corps
jurisdictional wetlands are also shown on Figure 2.
Charlie Hollis with the Corps stated that a nationwide permit had
been issued to Texasgulf to cross the approximately .8 acres of
wetlands involved in the new 306 road construction.
A public notice was sent out by the Corps on August 1, 1988
advising that a Scoping Meeting for the proposed mane advance would be
held on September 1, 1988 at Beaufort Community College. I attended
this meeting. The public notice (enclosed) stated that the District
Engineer intends to prepare an Environmental Impact Statement.
The public notice also mentioned that the Environmental Impact
Statement will address in detail the impacts of mining in the 960 acre
area and also the cumulative impacts associated with Texasgulf's
preliminary mining plan in contiguous areas during the period 1996
through 2010.

PUBLIC NOTICE
Scoping Meeting for Proposed Ki.ning Advance
By TEXASGULF, INC.
AURORA, NORTH CAROLINA
TE ASGULF INC., Post Office Box 48, Aurora, North Carolina 27806, has
made application for a Department of the Army permit TO PLACE EXCAVATED
MATERIALS IN WETLANDS IN ORDER TO CONTINUE PHOSPHATE MINING ACTIVITIES AT
THEIR PLANT SITE NEAR AURORA, NORTH CAROLINA. The Wilmington District
Engineer, Colonel Paul W. Woodbury, has determined that such a permit, if
approved, would constitute a "...major Federal action having a significant
effect on the quality of the human environment...." Accordingly, the District
Engineer intends to prepare an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) as set
forth in Section 102(c) of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, as
amended (NEPA). Regulations of the President's Council on environmental
Quality (CEQ) provide for "... an early and open process for determining the
scope of issues to be addressed (in an EIS) and for identifying the
significant issues related to (the) proposed action..." (40 CFR 1501.7). This
process is called "scoping." The purpose of this public notice, therefore, is
to invite the participation of affected Federal, State, and local agencies,
and all other interested persons in the scoping process. A scoping meeting is
scheduled to allow an opportunity for agencies and the public to identify
issues, studies needed, and alternatives to be addressed during preparation of
the EIS. The meeting is scheduled as follows:
September 1, 1988, 7:00 p.m.
Beaufort County Community College
Washington, North Carolina
(see Figure i for location)
The merits of the applicant's proposal will not be debated at this scoping
meeting. The purpose of the meeting is to assist in developing the scope of
the issues to be addressed by the EIS.
The Wilmington District Corps of Engineers will conduct an exhaustive
"public `.aturest of this proposal. t:hi_ch :ill Ci:E

publication of the Final EIS and Permit Public Notice. Public and agency
comment on the merits of the project, both verbal and written, will be
accepted into the administrative record of the permit application at that
time.
Although attendance at the scoping meeting is encouraged, written
participation in this scoping process will be accepted before, during, and
within 10 days after the meeting. Information obtained in this process will
play a vital role in development of the scope of the. EIS.
Texasgulf's proposed 5-year (1990-1995) and 20-year mining plans (1990-
2010) are shown on Figures 2 and 3. In addition, Figure 3 identifies the
existing biotic community types and Table 1 lists the approximate number of
acres within each community type. The proposed 20--year mine advance, which
includes approximately 4,300 acres, is adjacent to and southeast of the
existing Texasgulf operations.
The 5--year (1990-1995) mining advance permit applied for by Texasgulf
covers approximately 960 acres and includes approximately 89 acres of Section
404 wetlands. The EIS will address in detail the impacts of mining in this
area and the cumulative impacts associated with Texasgulf's preliminary mining
plan in contiguous areas during the period 1996 through 2010.
Hr. David Franklin, Regulatory Branch, telephone [phone], FTS
671-4952, is the Project 'Manager for the overall Federal regulatory process
under which this project is being considered. Mr. Frank Yelverton,

Reference from Item III.E. Description of Project
o Clarity required for wetlands to be excavated - term "water -ward"
is misleading; these wetlands are isolated and do not contribute
to the natural drainages to Jack's Creek, Jacob's Creek or South
Creek.
o Excavation and backfilling are done concurrently but in different
locations; sequences are as follows:
1. Excavation
a. Overburden removal
b. Phosphate ore removal
2. Backfilling
a. Removed overburden
b. Mill clays and miscellaneous chemical plant materials �--
(including by-product gypsum) are blended and used for
backfill; above ground backfill material is contained
by dikes constructed of sand tailings (ore by-
product).
Reference from Item VI.B.1.
While no runoff or discharge will enter adjacent water, stormwater
runoff will be routed through a stormwater ditch system and will be
released through a NPDES permitted discharge.
As a note for clarity:
In some reclamation areas, more material is put back as "backfill" than was
extracted. This is primarily due to the "bulking of materials" (swell), the
addition of blended process by products and the lag time between ore
extraction and backfill operations. The area for which this permit is
requested is projected to be one of these areas.

ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT
PROPOSED ISSUANCE OF S. 404 PERMIT
TEXASGULF INC PHOSPHATE MINING OPERATIONS, AURORA, NC
Notice of intent is given to prepare an Environmental Assessment of the
impacts that Texasgulf Inc.'s ("Texasgulf") continued phosphate mining
activities during the period January 1, 1990 to December 31, 1995 will have
upon the waters of the United States. In addition, the Environmental
Assessment will consider the cummulative impacts associated with Texasgulf's
preliminary mining plan in contiguous areas during the period 1996 through
2010. Preparation of an Environmental Assessment is required prior to Federal
action in consideration of Texasgulf's application for a permit to place fill
material on certain jurisdictional wetlands pursuant to Section 404 of the
Clean Water Act, 33 U.S.C. pgs. 1251 - 1387.
Texasgulf's 1990--1995 mining plan covers approximately 960 acres which
includes approximately 89 acres of jurisdictional wetlands.
The proposed mining site lies adjacent to and southeast of existing NC
306, north of Aurora, and adjacent to the existing Texasgulf operations. The
960+ acre site is adjacent to and surrounded by additional lands held by
Texasgulf.
Major considerations of the Environmental Assessment will include
evaluations of biotic communities including wetlands, soils, geology,
hydrology, water quality, and land use. A full range of environmental,
social, and economic issues will be evaluated, including mitigation of
potential adverse impacts, and avoidance of specific impacts where possible.
A public Scoping is being conducted to identify specific elements of the
Environmental Assessment process, and to'solicit public comment. This meeting
will be held on 18 August 1988 at the Beaufort County Community College in
Washington, NC.
Individuals, agencies, and public or private organizations are
encouraged to support the Scoping process by commenting in writing and/or
participating in the Scoping meeting. Input data, comment, and questions
should be directed to:
Charles Hollis, Chief
Regulatory Functions
U.S. Army, Corps of Engineers
Wilmington District
P.Q. Box 1890
Wilmington, NC 28402--1890
[phone]
The scoping record will remain open and written comments received until
29 August 1988.
When the draft Environmental Assessment is completed, a public notice of
its availability will be made which will request review and comment by all
interested parties. A final Environmental Assessment will then be prepared to
respond to the review comments.

RE: Relocation of NC 306
North of Aurora - Beaufort County
Date Received: June 24, 1988
Responsible Party: Thomas J. Regan, Jr., Vice President
Dear Mr. Regan:
This office has reviewed the erosion and sedimentation
control plan submitted for the project as referenced above. We
find the plan to be acceptable and hereby issue this letter of
approval with modifications and conditions as stated on attached
page.
Please be advised that NCAC Title 15 4B.0017(A) requires
that a copy of the approved soil erosion control plan be on file
at the job site, and that inspections over the life of the
project will be made to ensure compliance with the approved plan.
The state's sedimentation pollution control program is a
performance oriented program requiring protection of the natural
resources and adjoining properties. If, following commencement
of this project, it is determined that the plan is inadequate to
meet the requirements of G.S. 113A 51-66, this office may require
revisions in the plan and its implementation so as to comply with
the state law.

In recognizing the desirability of early coordination of
sedimentation control, we believe that it would be beneficial if
a pre -construction conference can be arranged to discuss the
approved erosion and sedimentation control plan for this project.
It would be appreciated if you would contact this office and let
us know the date of construction start-up and date of the
pre -construction conference.
The land -disturbing activity described in this plan is also
subject to the Environmental Management Commission's review
regarding regulations to implement stormwater controls in coastal
counties (15 NCAC 2H Section .1000). Contact the Water Quality
Supervisor of the Division of Environmental Management to ensure
this activity is in conformance with their rules (Washington
telephone [phone]).

Re: Aurora Phosphate Mine
Permit No. 07-01
Beaufort County
Tar -Pamlico River Basin
Dear Mr. Furness:
Michael F. Easley, Governor
William G. Ross Jr., Secretary
A recent review of acres approved to be affected and permitted at the Aurora
Phosphate Mine revealed a slight error in the permitted acres. On May 24, 2005 the
Department released 113 reclaimed acres associated with the reclamation around the
headwaters of Whitehurst Creek. The 113 acres were released from the total affected
acres of 11,516.2 acres, which resulted in a balance of 11,403.20 acres approved to be
affected. At the time of the release, the Department did not deduct the 113 acres from the
permitted area, which was 12, 915.4 acres.
The actual permitted acres should have been 12,915.4 acres minus the 113 acres
released, which result in 12,802.4 acres of permitted area.
Please attach this letter to your mining permit and if you have any questions,
please feel free to contact this office.

An inspection was made of the above mine on May 18, 2005 in accordance with G.S.
74-56 of the Mining Act of 1971.
The 113 acres around the headwaters of Whitehurst Creek requested to be released, as
indicated on the Whitehurst Creek 2004 Release Map dated August 2004, has been found to
be satisfactorily reclaimed. Therefore, your company is released from further reclamation
responsibility for this area with respect to the Mining Act of 1971.
As a reminder your company's permitted acreage is 12,915.4 acres and the amount of
land your company is allowed to disturb at this site is 11,403.02 acres which results from the
113 acres being deducted from the previous 11,516.2 acres allowed to be disturbed.
Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.

Dear Mr. Simons:

LAND QUALITY SECTION
PCS Phosphate has diligently worked to reclaim our clay settling areas at the Charles
Tract, and you and your staff at the Division of Land Resources have observed the
progress through time. We are now at the point where we officially request that Clay
Ponds 3, 4A and 5A be released from Mine Permit 7-1 (Clay Ponds 1, 2 and 413 were
released on July 6, 1999). This release request totals 702 acres, as shown on the attached
drawing.
Tree planting was completed on the No. 3 pond in February 1995, and the species used
were bald cypress and sycamore. The No. 4A pond was planted with sycamore, willow
oak, cherrybark oak, overcup oak and swamp chestnut oak, and planting was also
finished in February 1995. Tree planting was complete around the perimeter of the No.
5A pond in February 2002, Tree species included bald cypress, green ash, sycamore,
sweetgum and swamp chestnut oak. The center portion of SA has been reclaimed as a
wetland area, as allowed for in our Mine Permit.
The stormwater drainage of all three clay ponds is tied together and exits the area through
an open spillway structure in the No. 5A dike that was completed in November 2005 and
officially approved by DLR on August 14, 2006. On May 17, 2007 the dikes surrounding
Clay Ponds 3, 4A and 5A were decertified by DLR.
If you have any questions regarding this request, please call me at (2.52) 322-8270 or Jeff
Furness at [phone].
