On June 29, 2010, the Fayetteville Regional Office of the Division of Water Quality received an Operations and
Monitoring (O&M) Plan for the Burney Pit in Cumberland County as prepared by J. Branch Smith, PE with GS Engineering
Services, PLLC. Submittal and approval of the O&M Plan is a requirement under Certificate of Coverage NCG020757
issued on April 30, 2010 prior to mining activities at the subject facility. Upon review of the O&M Plan by regional office
staff as well as staff with the Stormwater Permitting Unit, a discussion was held with Mr. Smith regarding necessary
revisions. prior to approval. A copy of the revised O&M Plan was received via e-mail on July 8, 2010. While the overall
plan appears adequate in monitoring the hydrology of the surrounding wetlands and surface waters, we would like to
stress the importance of gathering data from the proposed piezometers for a full twelve month period prior to any
excavation in order to obtain appropriate background information. Should any of the proposed piezometers malfunction
during the background monitoring period, repairs or replacements should occur immediately upon first knowledge in order
to avoid delays in commencing active mining operations. Otherwise, we have no objections with the proposed plan and
hereby grant our approval of the revised O&M Plan received on July 8, 2010.
Should you or your staff have any questions, concerns, or require further assistance in this or other matters,

Just wanted to send both of you the revised O&M Plan. I think Mike said that both of you would want to look it over before
giving the approval. We will try to get Barnhill to go ahead and perform the 12 month baseline condition monitoring now,
so that the site can be mined within a year (if they decide to mine it).
Thanks

This Operations and Monitoring Plan (O&M) has been reviewed by the
management of Barnhill Contracting Co. and we hereby adopt this O&M into the
operation of our mining facility, the Burney Pit, located on Gainey Road in
Fayetteville, North Carolina.
Mr. Steve Waters, Office Manager Date
Southeast Division
Barnhill Contracting Company

OPERATIONS AND MONITORING PLAN
INTRODUCTION
The Barnhill Contracting Burney Pit Operations and Monitoring Plan is
prepared to satisfy the requirements of Section E listed in the NPDES General
Permit NCG020000.
Currently, the Burney Pit is an undisturbed pasture and has not been
excavated in the past. The Division of Land Resources — Land Quality Mining
Permit (#26-45) has just been renewed for a 10-yr period.
The O&M for this mine does not allow for pumping or dewatering to occur.
There will be no stormwater or groundwater discharged from the mine
activities to adjacent wetlands and/or streams. In the approval letter sent by
NCDENR on April 30, 2010 for the NPDES permit, it states, "discharge of this
water from the mine boundary (and any stormwater commingled with it) is not
authorized under this certificate of coverage." Therefore, this O&M details the
mining techniques that will be implemented and details a comprehensive
monitoring plan for the adjacent wetlands.
2 OBJECTIVES
The objective is to monitor.adjacent wetlands on both the east and west sides
of the mine boundary in order to determine impacts on the wetlands during
excavation.
In order to determine wetland impacts, the baseline (or existing conditions) of
the wetlands will ,be monitored for a seasonal year (12 months) prior to
excavation, and then analyzed with the wetland conditions during excavation.

3 OPERATIONS PLAN
This future mining facility will follow this general mining sequence as submitted
to the Land Quality Mining Program.
1. Obtain NCDENR mine renewal permit and all other applicable permits.
2. Construct gravel construction entrance along farm path at Gainey Rd.
3. Install locking steel gate at mine excavation area entrance.
4. Survey and locate mine permit boundary corners and stake every 100-ft or
as necessary to mark boundary.
5. Construct swales and farm path/haul road into the site. Vegetate swales
and roadside disturbance in accordance with seeding and mulching
specifications.
6. Construct perimeter berms as shown on plans and vegetate in accordance
with seeding and mulching specifications.
7. Add perimeter silt -fence as shown on plans and additional fencing if
necessary to prevent off -site sedimentation.
8. Install "Open Pit" warning signs around perimeter of pit.
9. Maintain all sormwater runoff to flow into excavation pit. No dewatering is
permitted or off -site discharge unless approved by NCDENR-DWQ.
10.After excavation is complete, remove all temporary measures, re -grade
side slopes per Reclamation Plan, prepare seedbeds, and re -vegetate per
the permanent seeding specifications.
In addition to this general sequence, the wetland line setbacks and other
buffers will be marked on site before excavation begins.
The general excavation procedures will start with stripping topsoil and
stockpiling on -site in the designated areas at the front of the mine boundary.
Excavation will be with 3.1 side slopes and to a maximum depth of 16-18 feet.
Average excavation depths will be approximately 10-12 feet. There may be
encounters of groundwater at these 10-12 feet depths but most likely at 15
feet. Wet mining techniques will be employed while excavating material within
groundwater. This wet material will not be discharged or left to drain offsite.
There may be a temporary office and scales, but it is unknown at this time.
There will be no vehicle maintenance activities or fuel storage tanks at this
facility. If an office or other temporary structures are installed, Barnhill shall be
responsible for making sure any pollutants or other chemicals will be
addressed within their Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) and other
NPDES permit requirement. The permit's goal is to ensure no contaminated
stormwater is drained off -site.

4 BASELINE CONDITIONS MONITORING PLAN
(a) Piezometers Installation & Vegetative Observations
Two piezometers (monitoring wells) will be installed on both the east
and west sides of the mine boundary (4 wells total). They will be
located just inside the wetland line as shown on the mine maps.
The piezometers will be approximately 5-6 feet in depth with a
pressure transducer data logger inside each piezometer.
Approximately 30-foot radius plots will be marked around each
piezometer and plant species within each vegetative stratum will be
identified and documented. During installation, soil colors and
texture will be documented. The rim elevations will be surveyed and
documented as well.
(b) Bi-Monthly Data Collection
Each piezometer will have a pressure transducer with a data logger
to record water levels daily. Every two months, personnel will travel
to the four wells and download the data for documentation and
analysis. Also, site conditions around the piezometers will be
documented including inspecting the piezometers for damages or
data logger malfunctions.
Rainfall will be collected bi-monthly using a combination of the State
Climate Office of North Carolina and on -site rain gauges.
(c) Quarterly Site Evaluation
A quarterly site evaluation will include a qualitative description of site
conditions and photographs in order to document physical changes
and monitoring. This evaluation will encompass the area within the
30-foot radius already marked around each piezometer. Within this
area, the land surface will be observed to identify evidence of soil
instability, erosion, sloughing, subsidence, collapse and/or absence
of hydration, and vegetation changes. Soil colors and textures will
also be documented.
(d) Annual Monitoring Report
Once the wetland baseline conditions are obtained, an annual
report will be prepared and submitted to the Fayetteville Regional
and Raleigh Central NCDENR-DWQ offices for approval before any
excavation occurs.
BURNEY PIT O&M Page 3 of 5
BARNHILL CONTRACTING CO.
Fayetteville, NC

5 ACTIVE CONDITIONS MONITORING PLAN
(a) Piezometers
The four existing piezometers (monitoring wells) will be used if
possible from the baseline conditions monitoring. Piezometers may
need to be replaced to ensure quality data. The rim elevations will
need to be re -surveyed to check elevations and documented.
If not clearly seen, the 30-foot radius plots will need to be re -marked
around each piezometer. Plant species within each vegetative
stratum will be identified and documented. The rim elevations will
be re -surveyed and documented as well.
(b) Monthly Data Collection
The piezometers' data loggers will be replaced if removed from
previous monitoring. Every month, personnel will travel to the
piezometers and download the data for documentation and
analysis. Also, site conditions around the piezometers will be
documented including inspecting the piezometers for damages or
data logger malfunctions.
Rainfall will be collected bi-monthly using a combination of the State
Climate Office of North Carolina and on -site rain gauges.
Monthly reports shall be submitted to the Fayetteville Regional and
Raleigh Central NCDENR-DWQ offices to ensure that mining has
not impacted adjacent wetlands.
(c) Quarterly Site Evaluation
A quarterly site evaluation will include a qualitative description of site
conditions and photographs in order to document physical changes
and monitoring. This evaluation will encompass the area within the
30-foot radius already marked around each piezometer. Within this
area, the land surface will be observed to identify evidence of soil
instability, erosion, sloughing, subsidence, collapse and/or absence
of hydration, and vegetation changes. Soil colors and textures will
also be documented.
BURNEY PIT O&M Page 4 of 5
BARNHILL CONTRACTING CO.
Fayetteville, NC

(d) Annual Monitoring Report
During active mining conditions, an annual report will be prepared
and submitted to the Fayetteville Regional and Raleigh Central
NCDENR-DWQ office to shown no impacts to adjacent wetlands.
The annual reports shall be submitted for a period of 3-5 years
(subject to NCDENR-DWQ's requirement). If no wetland impacts
are evidenced from the annual monitoring reports, then the
Operations and Monitoring Plan will not be required as part of the
NPDES General Permit NCG020000.
(e) Corrective Actions
At any time, if monitoring data indicates wetland impacts for a period
of at least 1 month due to mining excavations, then mining shall
terminate immediately.
After consulting with the Fayetteville Regional and Raleigh Central
NCDENR-DWQ offices, a decision shall be made to correct the
wetland impacts.
The recommended action shall be to offset 50-feet from current
excavation and replace existing excavation back to existing ground
grade.

This Operations and Monitoring Plan (O&M) has been reviewed by the
management of Barnhill Contracting Co. and we hereby adopt this O&M into the
operation of our mining facility, the Burney Pit, located on Gainey Road in
Fayetteville, North Carolina.
Mr. Steve Waters, Office Manager Date
Southeast Division
Barnhill Contracting Company

®IPERAUGOMS aa© (o&cq) [PRAM
INTRODUCTION
The Barnhill Contracting Burney Pit Operations and Monitoring Plan is
prepared to satisfy the requirements of Section E listed in the NPDES General
Permit NCG020000, which deals with mines near wetlands.
Currently, the Burney Pit is an undisturbed pasture and has not been
excavated in the past. The Division of Land Resources — Land Quality Mining
Permit (#26-45) has just been renewed for a 10-yr period.
The O&M for this mine does not allow for pumping or dewatering to occur.
There will be no stormwater or groundwater discharged from the mine
activities to adjacent wetlands and/or streams. In the approval letter sent by
NCDENR on April 30, 2010 for the NPDES permit, it states, "discharge of this
water from the mine boundary (and any stormwater commingled with it) is not
authorized under this certificate of coverage." Therefore, this O&M details a
few mining techniques that will be implemented and details a comprehensive
monitoring plan for the adjacent wetlands.
2 OBJECTIVES
The main objective is to monitor adjacent wetlands on both the east and west
sides of the mine boundary in order to determine impacts on the wetlands. In
order to determine impacts, the baseline (or existing conditions) of the
wetlands needs to be monitored for a seasonal year prior to mining.

3 OPERATIONS PLAN
This future mining facility will follow this general mining sequence as submitted
to the Land Quality Mining Program.
1. Obtain NCDENR mine renewal permit and all other applicable permits.
2. Construct gravel construction entrance along farm path at Gainey Rd.
3. Install locking steel gate at mine excavation area entrance.
4. Survey and locate mine permit boundary corners and stake every 100-ft or
as necessary to marls boundary.
5. Construct swales and farm path/haul road into the site. Vegetate swales
and roadside disturbance in accordance with seeding and mulching
specifications.
6. Construct perimeter berms as shown on plans and vegetate in accordance
with seeding and mulching specifications.
7. Add perimeter silt -fence as shown on plans and additional fencing if
necessary to prevent off -site sedimentation.
8. Install "Open Pit" warning signs around perimeter of pit.
9. Maintain all stormwater runoff to flow into excavation pit. No dewatering is
permitted or off -site discharge unless approved by NCDENR-DWQ.
10. After excavation is complete, remove all temporary measures, re -grade
side slopes per Reclamation Plan, prepare seedbeds, and re -vegetate per
the permanent seeding specifications.
In addition to this general sequence, the wetland line setbacks and other
buffers will be marked on site before excavation begins.
The general excavation procedures will start with stripping topsoil and
stockpiling on -site in the designated areas at the front of the mine boundary.
Excavation will occur on 3:1 side slopes to a maximum depth of 16-18 ft. Most
likely, excavation depths of 10-12 ft will occur.
There may be a temporary office and scales, but it is unknown at this time.
There will be no vehicle maintenance activities or fuel storage tanks at this
facility. If an office or other temporary structures are installed, Barnhill shall be
responsible for making sure any pollutants or other chemicals will be
addressed within their Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) and other
NPDES permit requirement. The permit's goal is to ensure no contaminated
stormwater is drained off -site.

4 MONITORING PLAN
(a) Piezometers Installation
Two piezometers (monitoring wells) will be installed on both the east
and west sides of the mine boundary just outside the wetland line
inside the 50-ft undisturbed buffer.
Two shallow piezometers (approx. 3-4 feet in depth) with data
loggers will be installed on each side. The locations of the
piezometers are shown on the mine maps and will be marked on
site. The rim elevations will be surveyed and documented once
installation is complete.
(b) Bi-Monthly Data Collection
Each piezometers data logger will record water levels each month.
Every two months, data will be downloaded and documented. Also,
site conditions will be documented and the data logger will be
checked and maintained for long-term performance.
Rainfall will be measured bi-monthly using a combination of the
State Climate Office of North Carolina and on -site rain gauges.
(c) Quarterly Site Evaluation
A quarterly site evaluation will include a qualitative description of site
conditions and photographs in order to document physical changes
and monitoring. This evaluation will encompass an area within a
100-foot radius around the piezometers. Within this area, the land
surface will be observed to identify evidence of soil instability,
erosion, sloughing, subsidence, collapse and/or absence of
hydration. The standard US Army Corp of Engineers Wetland
Delineation Manual, latest edition, will be used to record soils,
vegetation, and hydrology during this quarterly evaluation.

Subject: General Permit No. NCG020000
Burney Pit
COC NCG020757
Cumberland County
In accordance with your application for a discharge permit received on August 12, 2010 and
subsequent plan revisions, we are forwarding herewith the subject certificate of coverage to discharge
under the subject state - NPDES general permit. This permit is issued pursuant to the requirements of
North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and the Memorandum of Agreement between North Carolina
and the US Environmental Protection Agency dated October 15, 2007 (or as subsequently amended).
As you are aware, mining activities at your site have the potential to impact adjacent wetlands.
In order to mitigate this potential, undisturbed buffers, excavation setbacks, and wet mining
techniques have been established along with wetland observation wells to monitor wetland hydrology
as per the approved plans received by DWQ on April 28, 2010. As part of the specific requirements for
facilities near wetlands, found in Part III, Section E of your permit, an Operation and Monitoring Plan
must be submitted and approved by the Fayetteville Regional Office before mining activities occur at
your facility. Mining at this site without Plan approval will be subject to enforcement action. Please
submit the Operation and Monitoring Plan for your facility to Mr. Michael Lawyer of the Fayetteville
Regional Office within 60 days of your receipt of this permit.
Please note that mine dewatering wastewater includes wet pit overflows caused solely by
direct rainfall and groundwater seepage for this type of mining operation. Discharge of this water from
the mine boundary (and any stormwater commingled with it) is not authorized under this certificate of
coverage.
Please take notice that this certificate of coverage is not transferable except after notice to the
Division of Water Quality. The Division of Water Quality may require modification or revocation and
reissuance of the certificate of coverage.
This permit does not affect the legal requirements to obtain other permits which may be required by
the Division of Water Quality or permits required by the Division of Land Resources, Coastal Area
Management Act or any other federal or local governmental permit that may be required.
If you have any questions concerning this permit, please contact Cory Larsen at (919) 807-
6365 or cony-.'arsen(a)ncdenr.gov.

Dear Mr. Waters:
Dee Freeman
Secretary
In accordance with your application for a discharge permit received on August 12, 2010 and
subsequent plan revisions, we are forwarding herewith the subject certificate of coverage to discharge
under the subject state - NPDES general permit. This permit is issued pursuant to the requirements of
North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and the Memorandum of Agreement between North Carolina
and the US Environmental Protection Agency dated October 15, 2007 (or as subsequently amended).
As you are aware, mining activities at your site have the potential to impact adjacent wetlands.
In order to mitigate this potential, undisturbed buffers, excavation setbacks, and wet mining
techniques have been established along with wetland observation wells to monitor wetland hydrology
as per the approved plans received by DWQ on April 28, 2010. As part of the specific requirements for
facilities near wetlands, found in Part III, Section E of your permit, an Operation and Monitoring Plan
must be submitted and approved by the Fayetteville Regional Office before mining activities occur at
your facility, Mining at this site without Plan approval will be subject to enforcement action. Please
submit the Operation and Monitoring Plan for your facility to Mr. Michael Lawyer of the Fayetteville
Regional Office within 60 days of your receipt of this permit.
Please note that mine dewatering wastewater includes wet pit overflows caused solely by
direct rainfall and groundwater seepage for this type of mining operation. Discharge of this water from
the mine boundary (and any stormwater commingled with it) is not authorized under this certificate of
coverage.
Please take notice that this certificate of coverage is not transferable except after notice to the
Division of Water Quality. The Division of Water Quality may require modification or revocation and
reissuance of the certificate of coverage.
This permit does not affect the legal requirements to obtain other permits which may be required by
the Division of Water Quality or permits required by the Division of Land Resources, Coastal Area
Management Act or any other federal or local governmental permit that may be required.
If you have any questions concerning this permit, please contact Cory Larsen at (919) 807-
63';�5 or cory.larsenpncdenr.aov.

RE: COC No. NCG020757
Final Revised Permit and Plan
Barnhill Contracting Co. Burney Pit Mine
Cumberland County, North Carolina
Dear Mr. Larsen.
Please find enclosed revised mine maps, revised Skaggs Model report, and updated NPDES NOI
application pages for the above referenced mine. Barnhill Contracting is aware that the issued permit will
require an Operations and Monitoring Plan that will be approved by the Fayetteville Regional DWQ
office once mining commences. As Barnhill has stated before, there are no plans to mine this site, but
would like to keep the mining permit active. The proposed mine permit boundary changed to 74.50 acres
from 97.02 acres due to setbacks and updated property lines. The proposed mine affected acreage will be
53.0 acres. Barnhill is also aware that the mine will not be allowed to discharge water from the mine
off -site or outside mining areas.
On behalf of Steve Waters with Barnhill Construction, please accept these revisions to approve the COC
No. NCG020757 for the Burney Pit Mine,
Sincerely,
GS Engineering Services, PLLC

Branch,
I think we would be amenable to the 137/191 ft setbacks (NO stepdown excavation) in conjunction with a couple
wetland monitoring wells on each side of the mine with frequent monitoring to ensure that mining activities are not
impacting wetland water levels. The wells and monitoring would then be part of your O&M plan that would be due to
the Fayetteville Regional Office shortly after the COC is issued.
Just want to make it clear that the health of the wetlands must be maintained regardless of the setback distance agreed
upon. If the Regional office stops by and observes impacts from the operation on the wetlands, the permittee will be in
violation and subject to enforcement penalties.
Let me know what you decide and please send revised plans by April 26, 2010. I'd like to wrap this one up soon.

Cory -
Barnhill does not want to give up that much potential mining area for the Burney Pit. One argument is the 20% factor of
safety is being counted twice. We already have to stay 50' minimum from the wetland due to DLR Mining rules. What
they would like to see is the setbacks remain at 137-ft and 191-ft based on Skaggs model. As far as stepping down to
excavate within the pit, they do not intend to step down as long as DWQ will be satisfied with the 137 and 191-ft
setbacks. Would you please re -consider your earlier response and remove the 20% factor of safety?
Thanks

RE: Request for Additional Information 2n1 Request Letter (March19, 2010)
General Permit COC No. NCG020757
Barnhill Contracting Co. - BURNEY PIT
Cumberland County, NC
Dear Mr. Larsen:
Please find enclosed information regarding the proposed Burney Pit Sand Mine. The request for
additional information Ietter dated September 9, 2009 requested that we provide further information
regarding dewatering and impacts to adjacent surface waters. In this case, surface waters represent the
wetland and stream riparian areas that were delineated and signed off by the US Army Corp of
Engineers. The letter specifically requested soil boring logs, seasonal high water table measurements, and
engineering analysis to prove that mining operations would not require dewatering and would not
impact adjacent surface waters. The letter also stated that, if it was determined that mining would impact
adjacent surface waters, an Operations and Maintenance Plan (0&M) would have to be developed and
implemented before mining could take place.
We have collected the necessary data to perform engineering analysis to determine the impacts to
adjacent surface waters. If you will recall, we eliminated the sediment basin that was cutting across the
Rockfish Creek Bluffs and discharging into the creek. The proposed mining methods for this pit will
work within and around groundwater present within the pit. These methods are defined as cell mining
and wet mining. Either method may be implemented, based upon the excavation conditions. No
groundwater will be pumped outside the mining boundary or pumped into an area that drains off -site
into adjacent surface waters.
We initially proposed a perimeter trench system surrounding the pit to help stabilize any groundwater
movement from the adjacent surface waters. After discussing this option with you, we decided to collect
additional data and perform an engineering analysis to determine the practicality and feasibility of the
trench system. We concluded from the analysis, a trench system may not stabilize the wetlands once
mining operations have been completed. Cell mining and wet mining involves excavating the sand down
to a stabilized level above the groundwater IeveI, then stepping the excavator or trackhoe down to that
IeveI and excavating sand that is below the groundwater Ievel to the depth that the excavator is capable of
reaching. Nd mine dewatering is performed in this method. The wet sands are stockpiled, allowed to
drain back into the pit and dry until ready for transport.

SUMMARY OF RESULTS
West Side of Burney Pit — Skaggs Model Results
Required Setback Distance from Wetland Line (Lateral Effect): 137.0 ft
Provided Setback Distance from Wetland Line: 137.0 ft
East Side of Burney Pit - Skaggs Model Results
Required Setback Distance from Wetland Line (Lateral Effect): 191.0 ft
Provided Setback Distance from Wetland Line: 1.91.0 ft
DATA COLLECTION AND MODELING
In November and December of 2009, Land Management Group (LMG) obtained soil borings and verified
soil classifications in the proposed excavation pit, between the pit and wetlands, and within the
delineated wetlands. They also determined infiltration rates at two of the borings for the modeling
analysis. We then identified, surveyed and staked the location of two deep borings in the pit area close to
these infiltration tests, in order to gather the correct parameters for the model. We used NCDOT's
borrow pit methods for determining lateral effects on adjacent wetlands. R.W. Skaggs, G.M Chescheir,
and B.D. Phillips developed this model, called the "Skaggs Method", for determining lateral effects of a
borrow pit or a drainage ditch on adjacent wetland hydrology. The model can be downloaded at
www,bae.ncsu.edu/soil water) romectsllateral effect.html.
The Skaggs Method determines the minimum distance a borrow pit can be excavated and still sustain the
adjacent wetland within 25 cm (0.83 ft) of the soil surface for 5% (continuous critical duration) of the
growing season. That setback distance is called the lateral effect. Once the soil and groundwater data
were collected, the parameters were determined for the Skaggs Method. The input data and computation
is simplified by the software. The necessary parameters for the Burney Pit were depth to water surface,
depth to restrictive layer, and lateral hydraulic conductivity. Other inputs include selecting Cumberland
County in North Carolina, selecting 1.0-inch as the depression storage of wetlands rather than 2 inches,
and entering 0.035 as the drainable porosity. The depression storage value represents the current wetland
conditions, and the drainable porosity is a conservative value for soil water relationships for hydric soils.
There is a T25 variable, which is computed in the software, that determines the 25 cm location to calculate
the lateral effect.
The Skaggs Method model input and results are shown below for the West and East sides of the Burney
Pit:

CONCLUSION
April 21, 2010
We are requesting an approval or a rescission of NPDES Stormwater Permit COC NCG020757, based on
these results, and that no groundwater will be pumped outside the mining boundary or pumped into an
area that drains off -site into adjacent surface waters. After DWQ has determined this permit to be in
compliance or not necessary, we will submit the renewal application for Mine Permit 26-45 to the
Division of Land Resources — Land Quality Section. We believe that mining excavation can be permitted
without impacting adjacent surface waters (wetland and stream riparian areas) if the minimum setbacks
listed below are established and maintained.
West Side of Burney Pit — Skaggs Model Results
Required Setback Distance From Wetland Lime (Lateral Effect): 137.0 ft
Provided Setback Distance from Wetland Line: 137.0 ft
East Side of Burney Pit - Skaggs Model Results
Required Setback Distance from Wetland Line (Lateral Effect): 191.0 ft
Provided Setback Distance from Wetland Line: 191.0 ft

Mr. Larsen -
Thanks for the quick response on the above referenced project. I have re -drawn the profiles according to your letter and
revised setbacks. We show a stepped excavation where the sand material above the groundwater level will be
disturbed. Once the lateral setback distance is reached a full excavation below groundwater levels will occur if necessary
during mining. We wanted to be sure this will be approved for mining and not impact the wetlands. It is our assumption
that this would be work because the groundwater hydrology still remains as it is.
Thanks
Branch

following information is needed to continue the stormwater review:
1i, The wetland setback requirements calculated utilizing the Skaggs Model for borrow pits was not
j determined correctly. On the west side, depth to water surface is 76.20 - 73.44 = 2.76 FT, On the east
side, depth to water surface is 75.50 - 68.87 = 6.63 FT. Note that this model input calls for the depth
from wetland soil surface, not groundwater elevation, to the water elevation in the pit.
i The resultant setback on the west side using 3 FT depth is 137 FT, and on the east side using the model
maximum of 6 FT depth is 191 FT. Since these values are estimates based on a number of variables, an
engineering factor of safety (FOS) should be utilized to increase confidence that adjacent wetlands will
not be impacted. Assuming a FOS of 20%, the appropriate minimum setbacks would be approximately
165 FT and 230 FT, respectively.
Please modify the alining plan to incorporate these setback distances and submit copies to DLR and

RE: Request for Additional Information Letter dated September 9,
General Permit COC No. NCG020757
Barnhill Contracting Co. — BURNEY PIT
Cumberland County, NC
Dear Mr. Larsen:
Z M

Please find enclosed information regarding the proposed Burney Pit Sand Mine. The request for
additional information letter dated September 9, 2009 requested that we provide further information
regarding dewatering and impacts to adjacent surface waters. In this case, surface waters represent the
wetland and stream riparian areas that were delineated and signed off by the US Army Corp of
Engineers. The letter specifically requested soil boring logs, seasonal high water table measurements, and
engineering analysis to prove that mining operations would not require dewatering and would not
impact adjacent surface waters. The letter also stated that, if it was determined that mining would impact
adjacent surface waters, an Operations and Maintenance Plan (O&M) would have to be developed and
implemented before mining could take place.
We have collected the necessary data to perform engineering analysis to determine the impacts to
adjacent surface waters. If you will recall, we eliminated the sediment basin that was cutting across the
Rockfish Creek Bluffs and discharging into the creek. The proposed mining methods for this pit will
work within and around groundwater present within the pit. These methods are defined as cell mining
and wet mining. Either method may be implemented, based upon the excavation conditions. No
groundwater will be pumped outside the mining boundary or pumped into an area that drains off -site
into adjacent surface waters.
We initially proposed a perimeter trench system surrounding the pit to help stabilize any groundwater
movement from the adjacent surface waters. After discussing this option with you, we decided to collect
additional data and perform an engineering analysis to determine the practicality and feasibility of die
trench system. We concluded from the analysis, a trench system may not stabilize the wetlands once
mining operations have been completed. Cell mining and wet mining involves excavating the sand down
to a stabilized level above the groundwater level, then stepping the excavator or trackhoe down to that
level and excavating sand that is below the groundwater level to the depth that the excavator is capable of
reaching. No mine dewatering is performed in this method. The wet sands are stockpiled, allowed to
drain back into the pit and dry until ready for transport.

SUMMARY OF RESULTS
West Side of Burney Pit — Skaggs. Model Results
Required Setback Distance from Wetland Line (Lateral Effect): 27.0 ft
Provided Setback Distance from Wetland Line: 50 --100 ft
East Side of Burney Pit - Skaggs Model Results
Required Setback Distance from Wetland Line (Lateral Effect): 175.0 ft
Provided Setback Distance from Wetland Line: 180.0 ft
DATA COLLECTION AND MODELING
In November and December of 2009, Land Management Group (LMG) obtained soil borings and verified
soil classifications in the proposed excavation pit, between the pit and wetlands, and within the
delineated wetlands. They also determined infiltration rates at two of the borings for the modeling
analysis. We then identified, surveyed and staked the location of two deep borings in the pit area close to
these infiltration tests, in order to gather the correct parameters for the model. We used NCDOT°s
borrow pit methods for determining lateral effects on adjacent wetlands. R.W. Skaggs, G.M Chescheir,
and B.D. Phillips developed this model, called the "Skaggs Method", for determining lateral effects of a
borrow pit or a drainage ditch on adjacent wetland hydrology. The model can be downloaded at
www.bae.nesu.edu/soil water/projects/lateral etfecthtml.
The Skaggs Method determines the minimum distance a borrow pit can be excavated and still sustain the
adjacent wetland within 25 cm (0.83 ft) of the soil surface for 5% (continuous critical duration) of the
growing season. That setback distance is called the lateral effect. Once the soil and groundwater data
were collected, the parameters were determined for the Skaggs Method. The input data and computation
is simplified by the software. The necessary parameters for the Burney Pit were depth to water surface,
depth to restrictive layer, and lateral hydraulic conductivity. Other inputs include selecting Cumberland
County in North Carolina, selecting 1.0-inch as the depression storage of wetlands rather than 2 inches,
and entering 0.035 as the drainable porosity. The depression storage value represents the current wetland
conditions, and the drainable porosity is a conservative value for soil water relationships for hydric soils.
There is a Tzs variable, which is computed in the software, that determines the 25 cm location to calculate
the lateral effect.
The Skaggs Method model input and results are shown below for the West and East sides of the Burney
Pit:

CONCLUSION
February 19, 2010
We are requesting an approval or a rescission of NPDES Stormwater Permit COC NCG020757, based on
these results, and that no groundwater will be pumped outside the mining boundary or pumped into an
area that drains off -site into adjacent surface waters. After DWQ has determined this permit to be in
compliance or not necessary, we will submit the renewal application for Mine Permit 2645 to the
Division of Land Resources - Land Quality Section. We believe that mining excavation can be permitted
without impacting adjacent surface waters (wetland and stream riparian areas) if the minimum setbacks
listed below are established and maintained.
West Side of Burney Pit - Skaggs Model Results

Branch,
I've attached a couple documents to help you with the specific requirements of an O&M plan. Check out the O&M
components for greater detail of what is expected by DWQ. Then review a sample monitoring plan submitted by a
permittee for their quarry. It is a larger mine than Burney pit but the strategy is essentially the same. Hope this helps.

Branch,
Burney Pit will still require an NPDES permit even if the sediment basin is eliminated based on the mine's potential to
discharge stormwater and/or wastewater (via dewatering).
Additionally, it is unclear how the perimeter trench will prevent impacts to adjacent wetlands and streams. Further
information is needed to verify this system actually works. Has Barnhill installed something like this at another mine
site?
Right now, we would not issue an NPDES without more information for either design that you have presented. You will
need an 0&M plan as stated in the Sept 9 letter.

Mr. Larsen,
After speaking with Mr. Moser and Mr. Steve Waters with Barnhill Contracting, we are requesting to cancel the NPDES
General Permit coverage for the Burney Pit mine located in Cumberland County.
We are going to eliminate the sediment basin that discharges into Rockfish Creek. The mine will not discharge any
stormwater or groundwater that enters the pit. We have designed a perimeter trench around the mine excavation
adjacent to the streams that will balance any groundwater that infiltrates into the trench with respect to the
adjacent streams
See attached pdfs for design. We will modify the mine permit with DLQ.
Thanks and call me with any questions,

The Division of Water Quality's Stormwater Permitting Unit is currently reviewing your application for coverage under NPDES
General Permit NCG020000. A preliminary review has determined that the application is not complete. The following
information is needed to continue the stormwater review:
1. The application states that no dewatering will occur near wetlands or impact any stream, groundwater, or wetlands.
However, the mine site is surrounded by Rockfish Creek to the north, and intermittent streams and wetlands on the
east and west sides. Aerial photography also indicates the presence of groundwater or other surface water features
at the existing ground surface. Further information is required to ensure that dewatering will not be required nor will
dewatering impact these surface waters.
Please submit the following items:
1. Soil boring logs including an estimate of the seasonal high water table (SHWT) elevation;
2. Engineering analysis or equivalent to show that mining operations to a depth 25-30 feet below ground
surface (bgs), as indicated by the submitted plans, will not require dewatering and will not impact
adjacent wetlands or streams.
If it determined that this project has potential to impact surface water and groundwater, an Operation and Monitoring (0&M)
Plan must be developed for the site. Please refer to the O&M checklist on page 6 of 6 on your NCG020000 application for 0&M
requirements. Note that the 0&M plan applies to not only wetlands on or adjacent to the site but to all surface waters of the
State including intermittent streams bordering the property.
Please note that this request for additional information is in response to a preliminary review. The requested information
should be received by this Office prior to October 12, 2009, or the application may be returned as incomplete. The return of a
project will necessitate resubmittal of all required items, including the application fee.
If you need additional time to submit the information, please mail or fax your request for a time extension to the Division at
the address and fax number at the bottom of this letter. The request must indicate the date by which you expect to submit the
required information. The Division is allowed 90 days from the receipt of a completed application to issue the permit.
Please reference COC No. NCG020757 on all correspondence. If you have any questions concerning this matter feel free to

Subject: RE: Burney Pit NCG020757
Hey Cory. As it turns out, I received the review sheet from LQfor this site last week and noted that an NPDES permit is
required based on the site plan showing a basin with an outlet.
Something I'd like to pass on to you and the SPU as a whole is that the questions on the mining permit application
regarding discharges are vague and typically checked off by the applicant as 'No'. For example, one of the questions
asks: "Will the operation involve discharging fresh or waste water from the mine or plant as.a point discharge to the
waters of the State?" I'm left wondering, and I'll bet the applicant is as well, what "fresh" means in that question. Its
marked 'No' even in the subject facility's application, although they recognized that stormwater will likely discharge
from the proposed basin and subsequently submitted an NOI for coverage under NCG020000. Would it be possible to sit
down with LQ staff to discuss this and possibly revise the language in their mining permit application? I think it would
not only help the applicant and/or their engineer when filling out these forms, but also help us in determining the need
for permit coverage. Just food for thought.
Anyway, the NOI and site plans for the subject facility seem pretty straight -forward. Plus, I got a chance to review the
plans that were included with the LQ package. So, no need to send hard copy and I recommend proceeding with permit
coverage issuance.
Thanks,
Mike

National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System application for coverage under General Permit
NCG020000:
STORMWATER DISCHARGES associated with activities classified as:
SIC (Standard Industrial Classification) Code -14XX Mineral Mining Industry (except as specified below)
The following activities are also included:
• Active or inactive mining operations (including borrow pits —except for NCOOT borrow pits) that discharge
stormwater contaminated with or that has come in contact with, any overburden, raw material, intermediate
products, finished products, byproducts or waste products located on the site of such operations;
• Stormwater from vehicle maintenance activities at mining operations;
• Overflow from facilities that recycle process wastewater; and/or
• Mine dewatering (wastewater)
The following activities are specifically excluded from coverage under this General Permit:
• Stormwater discharges associated with peat mining, coal mining, and metal mining;
• Stormwater discharges from mining operations which are intermixed on site with stormwater from asphalt
operations and/or concrete operations;
• Stormwater discharges associated with oil and gas extraction operations; and
• Stormwater discharges associated with tourist gem mines
• NCDOT borrow pits are covered under NCS000150
The following discharges are covered by NPDES general hermit NCG520000 instead of NCG020000:
• Point source discharges of stormwater and wastewater from in -stream sand mining operations (i.e., sand
dredging or dipping operations)
For new mining sites that require an authorization to construct (ATC) wastewater treatment facilities: This
NOI is also an APPLICATION FOR an ATC for new wastewater treatment facilities. ATC requests must be
submitted at least 90 days prior to construction'.
For exi_ sting mining sites that require an Authorization to Operate (ATO) wastewater treatment facilities:
This NOI is also an APPLICATION FOR an ATO for wastewater treatment facilities in place.
Construction, modification_, or installation of any new treatment components at an existing site requires
an ATC. (If the site is already covered by NCG020000, the ATC request may be submitted without an NOI).
Some wastewater treatment facilities used to treat or recycle process wastewater (even if commingled
with stormwater) at mining sites will require an ATC ,prior to construction per 15A NCAC 2H .0138.
Please see the NCG020000 General Permit for details about which treatment facilities require an
ATC (summarized in Table 1 at the end of this form). For example, an ATC is required for treatment
of mine dewatering discharge from clay pits and non -closed -loop wastewater recycle systems. The
authorization to construct or continue to operate will be issued at the same time as the Certificate of
Coverage (COC) for the NCG02 permit. Design of treatment facilities must comply with requirements
of 15A NCAC 2H .0138 & .Ot39.
tAs per 15A NCAC 2H .0106 Pagel of 7
2Unless treatment facilities are designed, constructed, and put into operation by employees internal to the company who are qualified to
perform such work for their respective companies in accordance with General Statutes, 89C-25 (7), plans and specifications must be signed

National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System application for coverage under General Permit
NCG020000:
STORMWATER DISCHARGES associated with activities classified as:
SIC (Standard Industrial Classification) Code - 14XX Mineral Mining Industry (except as specified below)
The following activities are also included:
• Active or inactive mining operations (including borrow pits —except for NCDOT borrow pits) that discharge
stormwater contaminated with or that has come in contact with, any overburden, raw material, intermediate
products, finished products, byproducts or waste products located on the site of such operations;
• Stormwater from vehicle maintenance activities at mining operations;
• Overflow from facilities that recycle process wastewater; and/or
• Mine dewatering (wastewater)
The following activities are specifically excluded from coverage under this General Permit:
• Stormwater discharges associated with peat mining, coal mining, and metal mining;
• Stormwater discharges from mining operations which are intermixed on site with stormwater from asphalt
operations and/or concrete operations;
• Stormwater discharges associated with oil and gas extraction operations; and
• Stormwater discharges associated with tourist gem mines
• NCDOT borrow pits are covered under NCS000150
The following discharges are covered by NPDES general permit NCG520000 instead of NCG020000:
• Point source discharges of stormwater and wastewater from in -stream sand mining operations (i.e., sand
dredging or dipping operations)
For new mining sites that require an authorization to construct (ATC) wastewater treatment facilities: This
NOI is also an APPLICATION FOR an ATC for new wastewater treatment facilities. ATC requests must be
submitted at least 90 days prior to construction'.
For existing mining sites that require an Authorization to Operate (ATO) wastewater treatment facilities:
This NOI is also an APPLICATION FOR an ATO for wastewater treatment facilities in place.
Construction modification or installation of any new treatment components at an existiM site requires an
ATC. (If the site is already covered by NCG020000, the ATC request may be submitted without an NOI).
Some wastewater treatment facilities used to treat or recycle wastewater at mining sites will require an ATC prior
to construction per 15A NCAC 2H .0138. Please seethe NCG020000 General Permit for details about which
treatment facilities require an ATC (summarized in Table 1 below). The authorization to construct or continue
to operate will be issued at the same time as the Certificate of Coverage (COC) for the NCG02 permit. Design of
treatment facilities must comply with requirements of 15A NCAC 2H .0138 & .0139.
Construction of wastewater treatment facilities subject to the ATCIATO requirements in the NCG02 permit
at new or existing mining sites requires submission of three (3) sets of plans and specifications signed
Page 1 of 9
`As per 15A NCAC 2H .0106
2Unless treatment facilities are designed, constructed, and put into operation by employees internal to the company who are qualified to perform
such work for their respective companies in accordance with General Statutes, 89C-25 (7), plans and specifications must be signed and sealed
by a P.E.

Fdr new miming sites that require an authorization to construct (ATC) wastewater treatment facilities: This
NOI is also an APPLICATION FOR an ATC for new wastewater treatment facilities. ATC requests must be
submitted at least 90 days prior to construction'.
For existino mining sites thatrequire an Authorization to Operate (A TO) wastewater treatment facilities:
This N01 is also an APPLICATION FOR an ATO for wastewater treatment facilities in place.
_Construction, modification, or installation of any new.treatment gompangnts at an existino site requires
an ATC. (If the site is already covered by NCG020000,1 the ATC request may be submitted without an NOI).
Some wastewater treatment facilities used to treat or recycle process wastewater (even if commingled
with stormwater) at mining sites will require an ATC prior to const.rtiction per 15A NCAC 2H .0138.
Please see the NCG020000 General Permit for details about which treatment facilities require an
ATC (summarized in Table 1 at the end of this form). For example, an ATC is required for treatment
of mine dewatering discharge from clay pins and non-clo,sad-loop wa:siewafer recycle systems. The
authorization to construct or coati nue to operate willbe issued at the!same time as the Certificate of
Coverage (COC) for the NCG02 permit. Design of treatment facilities must comply with requirements
of 15A NCAC 2H .0138 & .0139.
'As per 15A NCAC 2H .0106 Page 1 of 7
2Unless treatment facilities are designed, constructed, and put into operation by employees internal to the company who are qualified to
perform such work for their respective companies in accordance with General Statutes, 89G25 (7), plans and specifications must be signed
