Mr humphrey needs to make sure that ALL the areas described in the NPDES 020833 permit is addressed in the plan and the plan needs to be availalble for the inspection of the Wilmington Regional Office staff for compliance and needs to include accumulated data as required by the permit. The plan needs to address the temporary on -site fuel storage once the site starts up again. It needs to include a temporary containment system(s) if any hydrocarbons are to be located on -site for 3 months or more. The plan needs to have a page indicating the mine owner's name and/or responsible party's name and information and contact information and any emergency contact information. This needs to be updated yearly. Preventative maintenance needs to be more descriptive as to what the operators are trained and required to inspect. it also needs to include what protocols will be used to remove the "leaks" if/when any are found and what clean-up protocols will be implemented to clean up the spills/leaks. Page(s) with the signatures and dates of training provided need to be included as well as page(s) for the Qualitative and Analytical monitoring.

Has the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan been implemented? Comment: The region had a copy of the SPPP, but the owner did not have a copy available at the time of the meeting to review the paperwork. Mr. Humphrey did have a copy of the site plan and topo map but, the outfall locations were not numbered. Mr. Humphrey needs to include pages in his plan for the significant spills, training and discharges. The SPPP is rather bleak and Mr. Humphrey needs to make sure that each section covered in the permit has a section in his plan to cover the requirement. See summary. Qualitative Monitor Has the facility conducted its Qualitative Monitoring semi-annually? Comment: The permit has only been active for a short period of time (November of 2013). There needs to be pages in the plan to record the qualitative monitoring if there is a discharge and a date and to also record "no discharge" if no discharge occurred with the 6 months.

Director November 16, 2012 sm Ei iv Nov 2 0 2012 BY: Subject: General Permit No. NCG020000 Halltown Road Mine COC NCG020833 Onslow County Dee Freeman Secretary In accordance with your application for a discharge permit received on October 15, 2012, 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). 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. Please be aware that mine dewatering at your site has the potential to impact adjacent wetlands. The specific requirements for mine dewatering at facilities near wetlands can be found in Part III, Section E of your permit. You must have an approved Pumping Operation and Monitoring (O&M) Plan before mine dewatering'discharges occur at your facility. Discharging mine dewatering wastewater without Plan approval will be subject to enforcement action. A draft Pumping 0&M Plan for your facility was received with the Notice of Intent (NOI) application and forwarded to the Wilmington Regional Office; however, you must contact Linda Willis at the Wilmington Regional Office at (910) 796-7215 to verify if that 0&M Plan is adequate or if it requires additional information or changes. The regional office will assist you in the approval process. Again, no mine dewatering discharges are allowed under this permit until that Pumping 0&M Plan has been approved.

Ronnie Humphrey HCI, Inc.—NCG020833 November 16, 2012 t Please note that mine dewatering wastewater includes wet pit overflows caused solel4bdirect rainfall and groundwater seepage for this type of mining operation (sand mining). Any discharge of this water (and any stormwater commingled with it) is subject to the effluent limitations in this permit. This general permit allows the discharge of stormwater and certain types of wastewater from your facility. In your NOI application, you specified that only mine dewatering water would. be discharged from this facility. If separate point -source discharges of stormwater occur (i.e., stormwater not combined with mine dewatering water], you must adhere to the conditions in this permit for stormwater discharges. Coastal'stormawater management rules apply to this county. You may be required to apply for an additional coastal State Stormwater Permit for any buildings or other impervious area that are added to this mine site. If you are unsure about whether these rules affect you, please contact Kelly Johnson in the Wilmington Regional Office at (910) 796-7345 to determine if you need to apply for a State Stormwater Permit. 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.

We could use the large scale map. I'm assuming they had a wetland delineation done? I'm not concerned for the wetlands to which they are discharging but am curious if there are other wetlands adjacent to the pit that could be drained by their dewatering activities. Please go ahead and issue the permit, we'll try to get them on the list for inspection to see what we have out there. Linda From: Georgoulias, Bethany Sent: Friday, October 26, 2012 12:47 PM To: Willis, Linda Subject: NOI Approval for NCG02 Coverage - Halltown Road Mine Hi Linda, Please see the attached NOI we received from HCI, Inc. for this mine in Onslow County, near Jacksonvilie. It looks like they've been in touch with you already. It's an existing operation that got its mining permit (#67-68) back in April 2010. They discharge through wetlands to Northeast Creek. They submitted a Pumping 0&M Plan (included in the scan), but it doesn't appear to be very thorough. There's no information about pumping specifications (they also did not check those items off the checklist of the NOI). It's a sand mine and may not be a big concern (they discharge to wetlands from a sediment -pond), but then again this 0&M Plan might need some major work. They did include an evaluation using the Skaggs Method to show a necessary set -back from Wetlands of just over 45'. I have two copies of a larger Mine Site Plan, so if you weren't provided with one when the applicant consulted with you, please let me know so I can send it. Please let me know if you have any concerns with this mine obtaining coverage under NCG02. Thanks, and have a great weekend!

This plan has been prepared by Parker & Associates, Inc. with input from the owner. 1. SITE PLAN' A. See the attached Exhibit 1 — Portion of USGS map, and Exhibit 2 — Portion of Onslow County D.O.T. Map. B. The HCI Halltown Road Mine is a sand mining operation only. Sand is excavated and loaded directly into trucks and hauled offsite to other locations. Loading is performed with an excavator and other than normal daily maintenance, all equipment service is performed off site. No fuels or lubricants are stored near or in the mining area. Excavated material is normally wet so dust is not a problem in mine. The haul road is monitored and dampened utilizing a water truck when necessary to control any dust created from hauling operations. There is no waste generated from this operation, therefore, no disposal plan is needed. The possible pollutants to be concerned with are small amounts of fuel or hydraulic oil created by a ruptured hose or pipe on trucks or equipment. This is not a normal occurrence but in the unlikely event that it does happen there is always someone on site to minimize and contain the spill before it reaches any water source. Any contaminated soils will be removed and disposed of at a facility certified to treat soils. C. See the attached Mine Site Plan by Parker & Associates, Inc. dated 9-04-07 and last revised 02-12-10. D. There have been no significant spills or leaks at this location, therefore, no corrective actions have been needed. EMAIL ADDRESS: TEXT MESSAGES TO: ex izec.r .c MAPS AND PLANS TO: Rxidraftabinexrcom • ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING • S%BRRW&ER, WATER & WASTEWATER SYSTEMS FEASIBILITY & DEVELOPMENT CONSULTING • GLOBAL POSITIONING SURVEYS • SUBDIVISION & CONSTRUCTION PLANS E. A floating pump will be utilized to dewater the Mine when needed. The floating pump will be configured to pump water from 6"-12" below the surface of the ponded water, therefore, pump off the clearer accumulated water.The discharge pipe for the dewatering pump will be inspected daily when pumping. The discharge line is located in close proximity to power source for pump and immediately after starting, pump discharge will be evaluated to determine if any non-stormwater discharge is present. Pumping is only performed as needed and never immediately after or during a rain event. Visual checks for clarity are performed each time pump is operated. Any foam, discoloration or unusual odor would result in immediate shut down of pump and discharge. Samples will be collected quarterly and analyzed by a certified laboratory and results will be kept on site. Results will also be forwarded to NC Division of Water Quality annually as required. At any time sampling results exceed acceptable levels, discharging will cease until conditions become more favorable and samples would be taken monthly for a period of one year. After such time, if levels have been consistently lower than acceptable levels, samples would be drawn on a quarterly basis at minimum or as deemed necessary. Daily records will be maintained on site recording times and amounts of pumping as well as, recorded rain fall. 2. EROSION AND SEDIMENTATION CONTROL AND DEWATERING There is no gravity discharge of stormwater to the adjacent wetlands or creek, therefore, there are no special erosion and sedimentation control measures. The dewatcring discharge will pump into a rip rap basin, then flow through the sediment basin and through a couple rock check dams prior to discharging into the 50' undisturbed buffer, prior to flowing into the wetlands, then flowing through the approximately 550' of wetlands prior to reaching Northeast Creek. The facility shall be operated and maintained in compliance with the mining permit issued by the Division of Land Resources. 3. STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PLAN A. All excavation and land disturbance is confined to the mine area with only one controlled discharge source (dewatering pump). A diversion berm is maintained around the mine perimeter to eliminate stormwater run-on. No discharge of stormwater (pumping) will occur until all solids have settled and water is clear. B. An inspection of mine slopes, entrance/exit, and stormwater protection devices (BMP's) will be conducted weekly or within 24 hours of any storm event by the mine operator or other competent person. No pumping discharge will take place during or immediately after a storm event. A rain gauge will be kept on site and monitored and all rainfall recorded. A record of inspections, deficiencies land corrections will be recorded and kept on site. C. There is no bulk storage of any kind on this site. SPPP - 2 4. SPILL PREVENTION AND RESPONSE PLAN (SPRP) There is no bulk storage of any kind on site, therefore, there is no potential for spills. 5. PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE AND GOOD HOUSEKEEPING PROGRAM All cNi4ipmcht-and trueks•will be kept in land working order and kept on a regular. maintenance scllMule..Operators- a trai�ied.arid rcguireci tb inspect eggipinent prior to,starting work each day and periodicaI1j,throughout each shitl..Operittors.wili be looking for fluid leaks as well as potential leaks and wvill.not usc.'equipment if 'any problems are lbund.

This training will include safety, things to look for that could possibly contaminate water, equipment inspections, and.iris1ructio1WQn what to do if spill occurs. -All now employees and anyone working in mine area will be required to receive training before entering mine. Training will be provided by mine operator. Mine operator will stay up to date on new references and resources pertaining to mining safety and stormwater management. 7. RESPONSIBLE PARTY The mine operator will be responsible for all mine and dewatering practices. He will ensure that all requirements are met and all records are up to date. The operator is also responsible for training of employees and personnel. 8. PLAN AMENDMENT The SPPP will be reviewed annually and amended as needed and all changes incorporated into training and Best Management Practices. SPPP - 3 9. PLAN IMPLEMENTATION The SPPP will be implemented immediately upon approval and a copy maintained on site. Additional copies of the plan and recorded data can be provided upon request. Information will be kept on site for a minimum period of five years.

During the site visit, DWQ staff observed that the pump had been removed, and no dewatering was being conducted at that time. You stated that the mining activity has been suspended that the site is in the process of being sold to the adjacent property owner to be included as part of a DOT borrow pit. As a result, staff concluded that an NPDES Stormwater General Permit NCG020000 will not be required for,this facility as long as the site is operated without discharging stormwater, mine dewatering watewater or process watewater to surface waters or wetlands from active or inactive mining. if you find that dewatering may be necessary in the future, you will be required to obtain coverage for the NPDES Stormwater General Permit NCG020000. Thank you for your assistance and cooperation during this inspection. Please be advised that violations of the NPDES Stormwater General Permit may be subject to a civil penalty assessment of up to $25,000.00 per day for each violation. If you have any questions, comments, or need assistance with understanding any aspect of your permit, please do not hesitate to contact me at 910) 796-7215. cerely, J e H.

The original Mine Plan provided for the construction of a temporary sediment pond along the Western perimeter of the Mine. We noted that when water entered this sediment pond it did not overflow, but rather went into the ground. Based on that, we tested the area to see what happened if we pumped water into the pond. We found that the water continued to move into the ground without overflowing this sediment pond. We would be happy to meet with you or your staff on site to show them how this has been operating. We do not believe that anything we have done is a violation of our permit or any of the rules. Please advise if any additional information is needed from us at this time.

A file review reveals there has been no application received by DWQ and there has been no permit issued for this mine. The National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) program was established by the federal Clean Water Act (1972) and then delegated to the Division of Water Quality for implementation in North Carolina. The NPDES Phase I permitting program for stormwater discharges was established in 1990. Phase I focused on site and operation planning to reduce pollutant sources. One of the industries regulated through NPDES permits is mining activities under the standard industrial code I442. As a result of the site inspection and file review, the following violation, detailed below, is noted: (1) Operating this facility without an NPDES stormwater permit Item 1. Operating a facility without a stormwater permit (1) It is illegal to operate certain industrial plants without a permit under North Carolina General Statute i t (NCGS) 143-215.1(a). Illegal operation is subject to civil penalties of up to $25,600 per day according to NCGS 143-215.6A(a)(2). NPDES general permit NCG020000 has been established pursuant to #� NCGS 143-215.1(b) for discharges of stormwater to surface waters. This general permit is applicable to owners or operators of stormwater point source discharges associated with activities classified as establishments primarily engaged in mining. The Halltown Road Mine was operating at the time of inspection and a pump was observed actively dewatering the mine pit. DLR Mine Inspection Report dated 2/7/2012 requested the pump be removed from site and DWQ be notified. 1?7 Cardinal Drive Extension, Wilmington, Norih Car01ina?8405-3845 Phone: 910-796.7215I Fax: 910-350-20041 Customer Service 1-877-b23-6748 Internet: wNvw.newateryuality.org One NorthCafolina An Eclual Opportunity 1 Affirmative Action Fmployer Mr. Ronnie Humphrey May 9, 2012 Page 2 of 2 Requested Response This Office requests that you respond to this letter in writing within 10 days of receipt of this Notice.

E. Dee Freeman Director Secretary May 9, 2012 CERTIFIED MAIL #7008 1140 0002 9562 0643 RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED Subject: NOTICE OF VIOLATION and RECOMMENDATION FOR ENFORCEMENT NOV-2012-PC-0170 Halltown Road Mine Operating without a Stormwater Permit Onslow County On May 3, Jean Conway and Joanne Steenhuis of the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) Wilmington Regional Office conducted a site inspection at the Halltown Road Mine (Division of Land Resources (DLR) Mining Permit 967-68) and observed a discharge to wetlands without the approved General Stormwater Permit NCG020000 for mining operations. A file review reveals there has been no application received by DWQ and there has been no permit issued for this mine. The National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) program was established by the federal Clean Water Act (1972) and then delegated to the Division of Water Quality for implementation in North Carolina. The NPDES Phase I permitting program for stormwater discharges was established in 1990. Phase I focused on site and operation planning to reduce pollutant sources. One of the industries regulated through NPDES permits is mining activities under the standard industrial code 1442. As a result of the site inspection and file review, the following violation, detailed below, is noted: (1) Operating this facility without an NPDES Stormwater permit Item 1. Operating a facility without a stormwater permit (1) It is illegal to operate certain industrial plants without a permit under North Carolina General Statute (NCGS) 143-2 15, 1 (a). Illegal operation is subject to civil penalties of up to $25,000 per day according to NCGS 143-215.6A(a)(2). NPDES general permit NCG020000 has been established pursuant to NCGS 143-215.1(b) for discharges of stormwater to surface waters. This general permit is applicable to owners or operators of stormwater point source discharges associated with activities classified as establishments primarily engaged in mining. The Halltown Road Mine was operating at the time of inspection and a pump was observed actively dewatering the mine pit. DLR Mine Inspection Report dated 2/7/2012 requested the pump be removed from site and DWQ be notified. 7 127 Cardinal Drive Extension, Wilmington, North Carolina 28405-3845 Phone: 910-796-72151 Fax: 910-350-20041 Customer Service: 1-877-623-6748 Internet: www.newaterqualitv.org An Equal Opportunity 1 Affirmative Action Employer NorthCarolina Naturally Mr. Ronnie Humphrey May 9, 2012 Page 2 of 2 Requested Response This Office requests that you respond to this letter in writing within 10 days of receipt of this Notice.
