Dear Mr. Clegg:
I am writing to you on behalf of Mr. Henry Carlton Spruill, owner of I/OBX Disposal & Recycling,
LLC, 73 Waterfront Drive, Columbia, NC 27925, to let you know that Mr. Spruill intends to apply to
the State of North Carolina to excavate a 15.41-acre pond on land owned by Mr. Thomas W. Spruill,
at the south end of Woodley Road. The pond will be located on a cultivated tract of land, 2.25 miles
southwest of Columbia. This letter is to notify you that Mr. Spruill is applying to the NC Department
of Environmental Quality, Division of Energy, Mineral and Land Resources for a mining permit to
perform the excavation.
One part of the permit process requires Mr. Spruill to send all adjacent landowners and the Tyrrell
County Manager an official certified and dated notice of his intention to excavate the pond. This
letter and notice represents only a required part of the paperwork process for his permit with the NC
Department of Environmental Quality, and does not require any action on your part, regarding
NCDEQ.
Mr. Spruill seeks to assure you that he will take all measures necessary to prevent physical hazard to
any neighboring dwellings, roads or public facilities and will also provide adequate fencing or notices
to prevent inadvertent public access to the mining permit area. The pond will be located on private
property off Woodley Road owned by Thomas W Spruill, and the excavation area will only be
accessible by a private gated entrance.
Please find attached to this letter a map showing the location of the proposed permit area and new
excavation.
We appreciate your help and cooperation on these matters. Mr. Spruill is always available to answer
any questions you may have and can be reached at 757-449-7000. I am also available for any questions
and please do not hesitate to call me at 252-339-9021 if I can be of assistance.

Water Height Control: Construction Details
Half -pipe Water Level Control with Flash Board Risers
NRCS Code 587
I/OBX Sand Mine
Columbia, NC
Tyrrell County
emergency spillway /_ _ _
DESCRIPTION
A structure in a water management system that conveys water, controls the direction or rate of flow, maintains a desired
water surface elevation or measures water. Water height control structure is standard structure used by agricultural and
horticultural farms in North Carolina to raise or lower water height in ditches and ponds per need (NRCS). Water height
control structure to be installed in the west berm of the sedimentation pond at the I/OBX Sand Mine. Overflow to be
directed down stabilized ditch to nearby un-named tributary, eventual outflow to Scuppernong River.

PURPOSE
To convey water from one elevation to a lower elevation within, to, or from a water conveyance system, such as a ditch,
channel, canal, or pipeline designed to operate under open channel conditions. Typical structures: drops, chutes,
turnouts, surface water inlets, head gates, pump boxes, and stilling basins (NRCS). This water management system will
be used to maintain a maximum water surface elevation in the sedimentation pond at the 1/0BX Sand Mine, Woodley
Road, Columbia, NC. Sedimentation pond is a part of the dewatering management system of the 1/0BX Sand Mine, used
to remove settleable matter and turbidity from mine dewatering wastewater.
CONSTRUCTION
Structure consists of 26' x 3' horizontal galvanized steel culvert running under the sedimentation pond berm. A vertical 6'
half pipe 52" x 30" is attached on the north end of the culvert with stacked flash boards allowing adjustable height of the
water level in the sedimentation pond. Water flows over the flash boards and into the discharge pipe and down the rip -rap
stabilized ditch.
Overflow ditch is lined with riprap for 20 feet down its length. Existing slopes adjacent to the culvert are heavily grassed
with natural grass and weeds with no erosion present.
MAINTENANCE
Structures will be checked and necessary maintenance, including removal of debris, shall be performed after major
storms and at least semi-annually.

Riprap lined apron located at end of mine dewatering overflow pipes (3) to prevent scour and
undermining in existing ditch, and to absorb the impact of the water flow and reduce the velocity to
non -erosive levels, before flow reaches wetlands.
Riprap Apron Size: Overflow pipe discharges directly into well-defined channel. The apron will extend
across the channel bottom and up the channel banks to the top of the bank. Length of apron will be 20-
feet downstream to maintain velocity control of maximum 2.0 feet per second.
Grade: Apron will have zero grade and no overfill at end of apron.
Alignment: Apron will be straight throughout entire length if possible. If curve is necessary to align the
apron with the receiving channel, the curve will be located in the upstream section of the riprap.
Materials: Riprap will consist of a well graded mixture of NCDOT Class A (2" to 6") stone or slag.
Thickness: Minimum thickness of riprap will be 1.5 times the maximum stone diameter.

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

Berm Construction Details
I/OBX Sand Mine
Columbia, NC
Tyrrell County
Narrow -based berm
The narrow -based berm is the most common berm having a top of 2 feet (0.6 m) and side slopes of two
horizontal: 1 vertical. This berm is the most economical to build as it requires the least material. The
steep side slopes of this type of berm eliminate the possibility of working on it with farm machinery.

a' 1 z•
NEW BERM EXISTING
GRADE -
Berm Construction
The berm construction comprises of the scraping back of the topsoil from the area where the berm and
storage basin is to be built. A subsoil material, free of stones, rubble, stumps etc. and with at least 10%
clay should be used to construct the berm. The material for the berm may be obtained from the area
behind or in front of the berm location or moved from a borrow pit located elsewhere on the farm. An
earth mover will be required to move material from a pit located a distance away while a bulldozer
would be used if material is located in the berm area.
The berm material is to be placed in layers and compacted as each layer is added. After the berm has a
final shape the sides of the berm should also be compacted.
Emergency Overflow
To provide for larger -than designed peak flows, an overflow system is used, namely:
• "The level -top vegetated berm crest" which provides for very flat berm top so that the water will
overflow along the berm length in a thin layer so as not to create erosion problems.

Rock Dam in Ditch Construction Details
Practice Standards & Specifications 6.63
I/OBX Sand Mine
Columbia, NC, Tyrrell County

PROFILE
CHECK DAM DETAIL
A rock embankment located to capture sediment in a naturally formed drainage feature. The purpose of a rock dam is
to trap sediment on the construction site, and prevent off -site sedimentation in streams, lakes and drainageways.
Planning: Used where it is desirable to have the top of the structure serve as the overflow outlet. A long weir crest is
designed to keep flow depth shallow and discharge velocity low. Inside face of the dam will be covered with gravel to
reduce rate of seepage so that a sediment pool will form during runoff, draining slowly through the dam.
Design considerations:
• Maximum height — weir elevation 6 feet above ditch grade.
• Embankment —top width 2 feet minimum, side slopes maximum 2:1 upstream slope, maximum 3:1 downstream
slope. Rock abutments will extend to an elevation at least 1 foot above the spillway.
• Outlet protection — rock apron minimum 1.5 feet thick will extend downstream from the toe of the dam a
distance equal to the height of the dam to prevent channel erosion.
• Rock fill — rock will be well graded erosion resistant stone with a minimum dsosize of 12 inches, Class II
downstream layer of riprap and Class I upstream layer of riprap.
Maintenance: Check sediment basin after each rainfall, remove sediment when sediment accumulates to % the height
of the dam. Check structure for erosion or rock displacement weekly or after each significant (1/2 inch or greater)
rainstorm and repair immediately.
