OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE PLAN
SAND MINE DEWATERING AND WATER LEVEL CONTROL STRUCTURE
Operator: David 0. Parks, Parks Land Development, Inc., 1252 Florida Road, Elizabeth City, NC 27909
Job Locati : Cartwright Swamp Sand Mine, 107 Cartwright Swamp Road, Hertford, NC 27944
County: P rquimans County
Prepared b : Ken Elliott, consulting
Date: Ma ch 13, 2014
This plan cl I
fines responsibilities for operating, inspecting, and maintaining equipment and structures
used for co I
structing and dewatering the Cartwright Swamp Sand Mine safely, and that dewatering will
not degrad or negatively impact any wetlands or waters of the state.
Description nd Operation of the Cartwright Swamp Sand Mine:
The Cartwri ht Swamp Sand Mine is a proposed 8.62-acre sand mine excavation operated by David O.
Parks, Parks and Development, Inc., in a 16.52 acre permit area located at the intersection of
Cartwright S amp Road and US 17 North approximately 4.5 miles north of Hertford, NC. The permit
area is on hi h sandy land currently under cultivation and owned by Mr. Robin E. Trueblood. At this
time Mr. Par s is submitting an application with the NCDENR Division of Energy, mineral and Land
Resources to construct the sand mine and begin operation in May 2014. Mr. Parks is also submitting an
application f r a Conditional Use Permit from the Perquimans County Planning and Zoning Department
for constructs n of this mine.
Sand Mine Dewatering:
It will be nece nary to dewater the excavation as it is being excavated to allow the excavating equipment
to enter the e cavated area and safely and efficiently remove the sand from the pond bottom. This will
allow for full pth excavation and proper reclamation of the edges of the pond. It is the intention of
Mr. Parks to o ly dewater the excavations as needed, which will not entail full-time dewatering.
For excavation purposes, dewatering will occur roughly every 30 days which will allow excavating
equipment to emove approximately 150 loads up to ground level where it will be stockpiled for later
use. When th stockpile is depleted from usage, the excavation area will again be dewatered, and
another quanti y of sand will be excavated.
The operator plans to construct a 1.04-acre above -ground sedimentation pond located 30 feet from the
southeast corn r of the main excavation. The 6 foot deep pond will be constructed with 7-ft tall by 30-ft
wide sand ber s surrounding it which will have full groundcover installed. The foot of the berm will be
located 100 fee from the Cartwright Swamp wetlands. Use of an above -ground sediment pond will
forcibly hydrate the Cartwright Swamp wetlands located 100 feet from the sediment pond and
excavation, and will minimize dehydration of the swamp.
The operator will install a 6-inch dewatering pump between the 2 ponds at the southeast corner of the
main excavationll Discharge from the dewatering pump will enter the sediment pond on its northwest

corner, and there will be a constructed water height control device (see attached diagram) discharge
point located on the southeast corner of the sediment pond. The discharge point will release clear
water to a 25 foot long constructed riprap-protected ditch, leading 7S feet to the Cartwright Swamp
wetlands, then 1.25 miles to Sutton Creek and 2.6 miles to the Perquimans River (see attached map for
outflow route and discharge point locations).
Water will be pumped from the main pond to the sediment pond by a 6in gasoline -powered transfer
pump operating at idle speed. Estimated maximum flow from the pump will be 10,000 gallons/hour. It
is the intention of Mr. Parks to drop the water level in the main pond approximately 20 - 25 feet below
natural ground level when needed.
The overflow from the sediment pond will be controlled by a water height control device constructed in
the southeast sediment pond berm, 2 feet below the top of the berm. This control structure will allow
water to flow through the baffle into a 25ft long x 15" wide buried PVC pipe leading south to a 6ft wide
drainage ditch running south 100 feet to the Cartwright Swamp wetlands, then to Sutton Creek and
Perquimans River. For erosion control, the overflow water will exit the water height control discharge
onto a 20ft long riprap-lined apron in the ditch.
Time and distance will allow all sedimentation to occur to acceptable levels before the overflow water
reaches outfall and then the waters of the State. Water will have to travel a minimum of 240 feet to
reach the overflow point which will give enough surface area to allow sufficient sedimentation to occur.
There will be a minimum 2 feet of freeboard between the water surface in the sediment pond and the
top of the sediment pond berm. Stormwater drainage will be unable to enter the sediment area due to
the height of the sediment pond berm and damaging sediment pond rates.
Sedimentation and Erosion Control
There is wetland swamp (Cartwright Swamp) on the east and south side of the proposed excavation,
located 80 —180 feet from the excavation edge, running along the eastern and southern permit
boundary. The operator will establish a 50ft undisturbed buffer (no disturbance of any kind) adjacent to
the east and south perimeter of the permit area. This buffer will be maintained by the operator as
pasture with grass and pine tree ground cover.
In addition there will be a 25ft unexcavated buffer (may contain roadways, stockpiles, and sediment &
erosion control devices) around the entire excavation area, between the excavation and the
undisturbed buffer.
Sediment pond overflow will drain into a constructed 100ft x 6ft wide feeder ditch that leads 100 feet to
Cartwright Swamp, then 1.25 miles to Sutton Creek and then 2.6 miles to Perquimans River. Overflow
into the feeder ditch will be stabilized by riprap installed in the feeder ditch at the overflow (see
diagram) to prevent erosion of the ditch.

All erosion nd sedimentation will remain inside of the permit area. The operator will construct and
maintain an 8ft wide x 2ft tall grass -covered sand berm around the perimeter of the current affected
area of the xcavation during all phases of operation. During mining operations and dewatering, the
majority of he water leaving the excavation will remain inside of the permit area and will only overflow
through the ediment pond occasionally. The sediment pond will be approximately 6 feet deep, and
there is a sal
d layer below the bottom of the area. The porosity of the soil under the sediment pond
will allow m st of the water pumped into the pond from dewatering to seep back into the ground
naturally. A y excess water overflowing from the sediment pond will flow downstream to Cartwright
Swamp, 1.25 miles to Sutton Creek, and then 2.6 miles to the Perquimans River.
Maintaining he Sediment Pond Overflow Control Structure, Settlement Pond and Ditches
Inspections a d maintenance are required to obtain the intended function of safely dewatering the sand
mine, and to aintain the life of any adjacent wetlands or waters of the State. Items to inspect and
maintain duri g the 10 year life of the mine dewatering permit are:
• Inspe t the water control structures regularly, especially following heavy rains and runoff, or
durin periods of operation of the structure.
• Remo e accumulated debris from the overflow control structure.
• Inspe the structure for excessive settlement or seepage.
• Inspec all components of the structure, including appurtenances, and repair or replace any
dama ed items as needed.
• Inspec embankments, berms and appurtenant structures, and repair as needed.
• Repair ny damage to vegetated areas or berms with compacted earth fill, reshaping, sodding,
reseed ng and mulching as needed.
• Inspec riprap outlet stabilization structures in ditches regularly, replace dislodged rock as
• Prompt I
y repair all leaks in delivery facilities by replacing valves, fittings, gaskets, and worn or
damag d parts.
• Maintai all screens, filters, valves, timers and other electrical and mechanical equipment in
good o erating condition, following manufacturer's recommendations
Monitoring the frecess and Effects of Dewatering
Analytical and q alitative monitoring of mine dewatering wastewater will be in accordance with the
NCG020000 per it, as follows:
• All pond in the Cartwright Swamp Sand Mine permit area will be inspected daily by the
operator to identify any abnormal conditions.
• All berm and erosion control and sedimentation control structures will be inspected following
significan (112-inch) rainfall.events for damages, and all structures will be repaired immediately.
• Special in pections will be conducted immediately following severe storms, vandalism, and
other sig ificant events.

• Dewatering process will be inspected daily during periods of dewatering the excavation.
• Overflow of wastewater process will be inspected daily during periods of dewatering the
excavation.
• Outflow of dewatering wastewater will be monitored quarterly at the overflow exit stabilization
structure for pH, settleable solids, turbidity, and total flow. Samples will be collected and tested
onsite for pH, and the remainder will be tested for the remaining parameters by a North
Carolina certified lab.
• Rain gauge data will be collected by monitoring rain gauge data monthly and after each rain
event.
Records
Data will be collected as follows:
• Data will be collected from samples taken from the wastewater point source discharge in
operation at the time.
• Point source discharge data: data from the site taken quarterly, date & time, general weather
conditions, pH of sample, status of process at point source, inlet or outlet, other DWQ required
data.
• Visual monitoring of adjacent farmland for potential dehydration during mining or dewatering
activities will take place weekly. Solutions to any degradation caused by any mining activity will
include alteration of dewatering process. DWQ will be consulted as needed; alterations to
process will be recorded.
• Elliott Consulting will maintain the following records in a permanent file at the Elliott Consulting
office at PO Box 112, 202 Elliott Road, Aydlett, NC 27916: a record of all significant actions
taken; as -built drawings; permits; analytical results from sampling; and related material. Copies
of all inspections, monitoring reports and lab analyses shall be provided to NCDWQ on a regular
basis and as requested.
BMP Conditions
The permittee will utilize best management practices to ensure that dewatering the Cartwright
Swamp Sand Mine will not degrade or negatively impact any wetlands or waters of the State.
The permittee shall obtain authorization from the Director of the NCDWQ prior to utilizing any
chemical flocculants at Cartwright Swamp Sand Mine.

APPLICATION FOR A MINING PERMIT
C. PROTECTION OF NATURAL RESOURCES
Describe in detail the sequence of events for the development and operation of the mine and
the sequence to the mine rnap(.). Attach additional sheets as needed.
Phase 1
1. Acquire proper permits from NC Department of Environment and Natural Resources and
Perquimans County Planning and Zoning Department.
2. First excavation area (2.61 acres) located at west end of proposed affected area and is pre-
existing farm field. Topsoil will be removed down to 2.5 feet below natural ground level, and
stockpiled for use in erosion control berms.
3. Operator will construct temporary 2ft tall x 8ft wide x 450ft long sand berm midway across the
proposed final excavation area, fronting US 17 (see Phase 1 mine map), for erosion control.
4. Operator will construct temporary 2ft tall x 8ft wide sand berm for erosion control around
north, south and west side of affected area.
5. Operator will construct stabilized 30ft wide sand & gravel access road across field from
affected area to existing 36ft wide driveway to Cartwright Swamp Road..
6. Operator will construct temporary gravel construction entrance at intersection of pond access
road and Cartwright Swamp Road.
7. Operator will install 2ft tall x 30ft long plastic culvert in field ditch (blue -line) crossing under
pond access road. Operator will install silt fence along perimeter of crossing (see mine map for
location).
8. Perimeter of excavation area will be excavated down to 10ft below seasonal water level. 3:1
cut slopes will be constructed around finished excavation edge down to water level.
9. 0.50 acre sediment pond will be constructed aboveground (1.04 acres including berm) 30 feet
from the southwest comer of the excavation area which will be utilized for both Phase 1 and
Phase 2 excavations. Overburden from the main excavation will be used as a berm around the
sediment pond, with the remainder stockpiled adjacent to the sediment pond. Sediment pond
berm will be 7' tall x 30'wide and will connect to the affected area ben» and pond access road.
10. Dewatcring pwnp will be established between the Phase 1 excavation area and the sediment
pond (see mine map for location).
11. An overflow device will be established at the east end of the sediment pond- minimum 150ft
from the inlet pipe at the west end. Overflow (clear) water will be directed by riprap-stabilized
ditch to wetland swamp on the southeast end of the permit area. Rip -rap will be established at
the outflow to prevent erosion (sec mine map for locations).
12. Operator will begin dewatering the Phase I excavation down approximately 25 feet below
natural ground level into the sediment pond. Clear overflow water will be allowed to flow
through Cartwright Swamp wetland 1.25 miles to Sutton Creek and then 2.6 miles to the
Perquimans River. Outflow water from the sediment pond will be monitored quarterly for
sediment until the end of excavation and de -watering.
13. Operator will continue Phase 1 excavation until complete, with 30 feet average depth and 35
maximum depth below natural ground level
14. 2:1 cut slopes will be constructed below natural water level around excavation edge.
Phase 2
15. "Temporary sand berm across middle of main excavation area will be removed.
