RAINING PROGRAM
To Whom It May Concern:
This Mining Permit application is a request by Mr. Michael D. Harris, president of Harris
Farms, Inc, Roper, NC, to excavate a 12.14-acre pond on property owned by Mr. Harris, off
SR 1126 Newland Road, Roper, NC, in Washington County. The proposed permit area is in
a flat, sandy, cultivated farmland, and will not present any problems regarding runoff to
adjacent areas when all proposed erosion and sediment control measures are in place. The
purpose of the excavation will be to serve as scenic value and to return the disturbed lands
around the pond to agricultural status.
The proposed Harris Farms Inc. Mine originates from a modification of the existing
Permit #94-20 Harris Farms Inc. Mine. The existing 24.0-acre permit contains 16.85 acres of
farmland and woodland that have never been disturbed by mining activity, and the operator
desires to remove this land from his permit. In addition, the operator desires to add 7.28 acres
of excavation area to his permit located westward and adjacent to the existing 4.86-acre
excavation for easier accessibility. Total excavation will now be 12.14 acres in a 14.61-acre
permit area.
The excavation area will be located geographically 225 feet from the nearest public
highway and will be accessible only by two privately -owned access roads. Excavation activities
will be screened from public view on all sides by existing full -growth foliage and a 6-foot tall,
foliated berm between the mine activity area and two residences nearby. Public access to the
permit area is limited by private property, and gated private road access. There will be
minimum 25-ft wide unexcavated buffers on all sides of the permit area.
Mr. Harris is applying to NCDEQ Division of Energy, Mineral and Land Resources for
the modification to his mining permit, and for an NPDES NCGO20000 Certificate of
Coverage for dewatering the mine. In addition, he is registering with the Division of Water
Resources for water usage in Washington County, which is a CCPCUA county.
Reclamation of the permit area will include grading, leveling, and establishment of
groundcover on all affected areas. The mining permit is requested for a 10-year period.

All adjacent landowners have been contacted and made aware of the proposed excavation
operation. Requests for information have been received but with no objections to the project.
The excavation area will be well marked with warning and keep out signs to prevent
inadvertent public access.
Mr. Michael D. Harris does hereby request approval for this Mining Permit and asks that
it be expedited as soon as possible. Mr. Harris appreciates your consideration of this mine
permit application.
Sincerely,
Ken Elliott

Berm Construction Details
Harris Farms, Inc. Mine
Roper, NC
Washington 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.
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.

3r tAbr,
Riprap lined apron located at end of mine dewatering overflow pipe 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.
Page 55

Page 56
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.

Water Height Control: Construction Details
Half -pipe Water Level Control with Flash Board Risers
NRCS Code 587
Harris Farms, Inc. Mine
Roper, NC
Washington County
emergency spll" Z_ _ ..
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 east berm of the sedimentation pond at the Harris Farms Inc. Mine. Overflow to be
directed down stabilized ditch to nearby blue -line stream, eventual outflow to Albemarle Sound.
Page 58

Page 59
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 Harris Farms Inc. Mine,
Newland Road, Roper, NC. Sedimentation pond is a part of the dewatering management system of the Harris Farms Inc.
Mine, used to remove settleable matter and turbidity from mine dewatering wastewater.
CONSTRUCTION
Typical 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.
%►M:-4 IT:L44
Structures will be checked and necessary maintenance, including removal of debris, shall be performed after major
storms and at least semi-annually.
