comparable map.
Do you have any comments? Permitted sand mining operation conducted In Brunswick County under DEMLR
Mining Permit No. 10-82. Pit water is pumped from a pit sump no more than 10 hours
per day over a 3-4-day period every 3-4 months to plant to wash minerals, then such
water is directed into a sediment basin. Water exits the sediment basin and flows into
perimeter ditches that return the water back into the interconnected inactive mine pits
- all water is recirculated within the mine site with NO DISCHARGE of pit dewatering
water offsite. See attached detailed "Pit Water Recycle/Recirculation Operation and
Maintenance Plan" for more details.

PIT WATER RECYCLE/RECIRULATION OPERATION & MAINTENANCE PLAN
PUMPING SEQUENCE
1. ALL EXCAVATED MATERIAL IS BEING REMOVED IN APPROX. 34 ACRE SECTIONS WITHIN THE OVERALL MINE
EXCAVATION FOOTPRINT.
2. ONCE THE WATER TABLE IS ENCOUNTERED, PUMPING OF WATER WITHIN THE MINE SECTION BEGINS AND IS
SEPARATED FROM THE REMAINDER OF THE EXCAVATED POND AREAS BY COFFER DAMS OR UNMINED SECTIONS TO
ENSURE THEY REMAIN FILLED WITH WATER.
3. NO PIT WATER IS DISCHARGED FROM THE SITE DURING EXCAVATION AND WASHING OF MATERIAL. ALL WATER IS
RECYCLED WITHIN THE MINE SITE.
4. PUMP DOWN ACTIVITIES HAVE BEEN AND WILL BE CONDUCTED USING AN EIGHT (8) INCH PUMP RATED AT 2,700
GALLONS PER MINUTE. PUMPING OF EACH SECTION TAKES APPROX. 34 DAYS TO DROP THE WATER LEVEL 10 FEET
TO ALLOW ADDITIONAL MATERIAL REMOVAL FOR NO MORE THAN 2 WEEKS. ONCE MATERIAL IS MINED WITHIN THIS
SECTION OF THE OVERALL MINE EXCAVATION FOOTPRINT, THE PUMP IS REMOVED AND THIS SECTION OF THE PIT
WILL BE ALLOWED TO REFILL UNTIL THE NEXT PUMP DOWN CYCLE.
5. PUMP DOWN PERIODS HAVE OCCURRED EVERY 34 MONTHS AT THIS SITE SINCE 2014 WITHOUT OBSERVED
CHANGES IN NEARBY WETLANDS.
6. AS THIS PERMIT MODIFICATION IS TO ADD MORE RESERVES/EXTEND THE LIFE OF MINE WHILE MAINTAINING
CURRENT PRODUCTION RATES, THE EXISTING PRACTICES UTILIZED AT THIS MINE SITE SINCE 2014 AND CONTAINED
WITHIN THIS O&M PLAN WILL CONTINUE BE FOLLOWED AS THEY HAVE BEEN EFFECTIVE IN PROTECTING NEARBY
WETLANDS.
7. A TEST PIT IN THE 59.9 ACRE MINE EXPANSION AREA NORTH OF THE OFFICE/SCALE HOUSE REVEALED THAT THE
WATER TABLE IS LOWER IN THIS AREA THAN THE CURRENT MINE EXCAVATION FOOTPRINT. THUS, IT IS
ANTICIPATED THAT THERE WILL BE LESS PUMPING (AMOUNT AND TIME) TO ACCESS MATERIAL. LASTLY, AS MINING
EXPANDS INTO THIS AREA, THE MINE EXCAVATION WILL BE MOVING AWAY FROM THE IDENTIFIED WETLANDS.
PIT WATER RECIRULATION AND RECHARGE:
1. DRY MINE SECTIONS ARE PUMPED INTO PIT SUMP Al OR 2
2. PIT SUMP S7 IS USED FOR WASHING MINED MATERIAL AND ON -SITE DUST SUPPRESSION. THE SUMP IS ALSO
CONNECTED TO PREVIOUSLY MINED AND IMPOUNDED AREAS SO THAT IT CAN OVERFLOW INTO THE REMAINDER OF
EXCAVATED PIT AREAS THROUGH EXISTING TEMPORARY DIVERSION 9101. THIS DIVERSION ALONG WITH THE
REMAINING EXCAVATED PIT AREAS THAT ARE FULL OF WATER HAVE AND WILL CONTINUE TO SERVE AS A
RECHARGE/ HYDROLOGIC BOUNDARY BETWEEN ANY DRY MINE SECTION AND THE NEARBY WETLANDS ALONG THE
SOUTHERN PERMIT BOUNDARY.
3. THE PIT WATER USED IN THE WASH PLANT IS COLLECTED IN A PIPE THAT DISCHARGES INTO THE EXISTING
SEDIMENT POND (TO SETTLE OUT MATERIAL IN THE SEDIIMENT POND).
4. ONCE THE WATER ELEVATION REACHES THE OUTLET PIPE NEAR THE TOP OF THE SEDIMENT POND
EMBANKMENT, THE CLEAN WATER FLOWS INTO THE EXISTING TEMPORARY DIVERSION 0100 TO PIT SUMP A4 OR CAN
BE DIRECTED INTO EXISTING TEMPORARY DIVERSION A101 TO FLOW INTO OTHER PREVIOUSLY MINED AREAS. THIS
DIVERSION ALONG WITH THE REMAINING EXCAVATED PIT AREAS THAT ARE FULL OF WATER HAVE AND WILL
CONTINUE TO SERVE AS A RECHARGE/HYDROLOGIC BOUNDARY BETWEEN ANY DRY MINE SECTION AND THE
NEARBY WETLANDS ALONG THE NORTHERN PERMIT BOUNDARY.
5. EACH THREE TO FOUR ACRE DRY PIT SECTION IS ONLY DRY FOR THE PERIOD OF TIME IT TAKES TO EXCAVATE
THE MATERIAL (APPROX ONE TO TWO WEEKS).
6. ONCE EACH DRY PIT SECTION HAS BEEN EXCAVATED (DOWN TO AN AVERAGE DEPTH 25 FT), THE PUMP WILL BE
REMOVED ALONG WITH ANY COFFER DAMS TO ALLOW THE GROUND WATER TO FLOW INTO THAT AREA.
7. ULTIMATELY, THE EXISTING SUMP AREAS AND REMAINING MINE SECTIONS WILL CONNECT TO MAKE ONE LARGE
LAKE AS SHOWN IN THE RECLAMATION PLAN. NATIVE VEGETATIVE SPECIES WILL BE PLANTED AND
PERMANENTELY ESTABLISHED ON ANY REMAINING DISTURBED AREAS.
1. THE EXISTING MINE FOOTPRINT HAS BEEN MINED SINCE 2014 UNDER THE CURRENT APPROVED MINING PERMIT
UTILIZING THE PUMPING SEQUENCE AND PIT WATER RECIRCULATION AND RECHARGE METHODS NOTED ABOVE
WITHOUT ANY VISIBLE IMPACTS TO THE SEASONAL HYDROLOGYANETNESS AND VEGETATION VIABILITY OF THE
WETLANDS TO THE NORTH AND SOUTH OF THE MINING OPERATION.
2. A 100 FT WIDE BUFFER CONSISTING OF 50 FEET OF EXISTING UNDISTURBED VEGETATION AND AN ADDITIONAL 50
FEET OF EARTHEN BERMS FOR A TOTAL UNEXCAVATED BUFFER OF 100 FEET WILL BE MAINTAINED AS A SETBACK
BETWEEN ANY MINE EXCAVATION AND NEARBY WETLANDS.
3. IN THOSE AREAS WHERE THE MINE EXPANSION WALL REDUCE THE CURRENT BUFFER BETWEEN THE MINE
EXCAVATION AND THE WETLANDS TO THE NORTH AND SOUTH, THE WETLAND AREAS CLOSEST TO THESE
EXPANSION AREAS WILL BE VISUALLY MONITORED FOR WETNESS AND SUSTAINED PLANT VIABILITY.
4. WETLAND MONITORING WILL INCLUDE PICTURES BEING TAKEN, DATED, LABELED WITH LOCATION AND
DIRECTION, AND OBSERVATIONS/CHANGES DESCRIBED ON THE SAME APPROXIMATE DAY AND TIME EACH MONTH.
SUCH DOCUMENTATION WILL BE MAINTAINED IN A LOG BOOK AND KEPT ONSITE FOR INSPECTION BY NCOEQ,

S. IF IT BECOMES APPARENT THAT THE PERIODIC PUMPING OF PIT WATER FROM PIT TO PIT AND INTO THE
RECIRCULATION AND RECHARGE DITCHES AND PONDS IS ADVERSELY IMPACTING THE WATER TABLE AND
VEGETATIVE VIABILITY WITHIN THESE NEARBY WETLANDS (BESIDES DROUGHT AND SEASONAL FLUCTUATIONS),
PUMPING ACTIVITIES WILL CEASE AND NO LONGER BE CONDUCTED IN THAT LOCATION. ANY FURTHER MINING IN
THAT LOCATION WILL BE CONDUCTED BY WET MINING WITH NO PUMPING OF WATER.
