You're lucky day: 10-77 was issued 6/2/08. The other one has not.
MP No. 56-35 has an original issue date as 9/12/1986, but that's it.

Robert,
I got their updated o & m and requested they modify their o & m plan to monitor the
monitoring wells weekly (not just quarterly) and that they flag the wetlands
boundaries as well as their 50 foot boundary lines to ensure no digging is in the
undisturbed buffer. DLR likely has issued the mining permit last Monday.
Please issue the COC
Thx

Linda,
You talked a bit about this one yesterday. I just wanted you to know that I have
their application and have been waiting for DLR to issue the mining permit before
issuing. Did they ever address the add info you sent on 12/31/07 regarding the
O&M plan?
Thanks.

The Division of Water Quality (DWQ) in the Wilmington Regional Office received the O & M p—T—an—s-76rTlIe
following projects; NKT Projects No. 07144 (Old New Britton Road Mine, received December 20), 06148 (Henry
Bryant Mine, received December 20), and 06188 (Hardee Sand Mine, received November 30). Each of the O &
M plans have been reviewed and the following comments are provided for your consideration:
NKT Project No.'07144: K NCtaoa 0"703
1. - Please provide a USGS quadrant map with an overlay of the mine site. The USGS map is helpful in
identifying any blue line streams or potential wetlands outside the boundary of the mine site. The map
should be large enough to accommodate the identification of the access roads, excavation area, settling
basins, spoil piles, undisturbed buffers, and level spreader locations. The map provided showed
wetlands mostly within the mine site (proper) but left some uncertainty that wetlands had been identified
outside the mine site (specifically to the north of the mine site). ,DWQ is interested in the protection of all
wetlands, including those located.outside the mine site boundaries. .
2. Provide a copy of the delineation certified by the US Army Corp of Engineers or a letter from the
USACOE indicating concurrence with the wetland boundaries identified on the map provided.
3. Monitoring wells should be of sufficient number to provide data on hydrology of each wetland that has the
potential to be impacted by dewatering activities. The monitoring wells should be of sufficient depth to
demonstrate wetland hydrology. Use of existing wells that are 40-50 feet deep are too deep to
demonstrate wetland hydrology and should not be used to demonstrate whether wetland impacts are
occurring. Placement of the monitoring wells should be in the wetlands, just outside the undisturbed
buffer. The two monitoring wells identified on the map are located outside the wetland boundaries and
are not shallow monitoring wells.
4. Mining roads or -berms should not be built within the 50' undisturbed buffer, since an undisturbed buffer
refers to an area that has not been disturbed. Building a road or berm is a disturbance.
5. The number of level spreaders and their locations should provide recharge to all wetlands that have the
potential of being impacted by dewatering activities.
6. Include in the O & M plan a statement that requires the permittee to discontinue dewatering activities
immediately and contact DWQ upon noticing any impacts to surface waters or significant changes in
wetland hydrology and vegetation due to dewatering and will not resume dewatering until DWQ has
conducted an inspection of the mine site. DWQ will be notified if the daily flow exceeds the projected flow
or pump rates are increased to any level spreader exceeding those, identified in the.plans.
7. Please provide the calculations (including -any assumptions made) that demonstrate the accuracy of the
projected daily discharge of water that will need to be removed from the mine excavation pit. Please
account as well for the contribution to flow from stormwater. Explain how adequate settling will be
achieved during the early stages of digging (and dewatering) when the size of the pit is too small to
provide adequate settling.
8. The flow and pump rates and dimensions of level spreader and stilling basin need to be identified in
writing in the text of the O & M plan.

2. Provide a copy of the delineation certified by the US Army Corp of Engineers or a letter from the
USACOE indicating concurrence with the wetland boundaries identified on the map provided.
3. Monitoring wells should be of sufficient number to provide data on hydrology of each wetland that has the
potential to be impacted by dewatering activities. The monitoring wells should be of sufficient depth to be
able to demonstrate wetland hydrology. Use of existing wells that are 40-50 feet deep are too deep to
demonstrate wetland hydrology and should not be used to demonstrate whether wetland impacts are
occurring. The existing plan proposes two new monitoring wells. Monitoring wells should be located in
the wetlands, not outside the wetland boundaries or in the undisturbed buffer.
4. Mining roads or berms should not be built within the 50' undisturbed buffer, since an undisturbed buffer
refers to an area that has not been disturbed. Building a road or a berm is considered a disturbance.
5. The number of level spreaders and their locations should provide recharge to all wetlands that have the
potential of being impacted by dewatering activities. The slope 50' down gradient of the level spreader
located on the east side of the mine site exceeds 8% (calculated to be 16%). Please identify an alternate
location for this level spreader where the down gradient slope (50' from level spreader) does not exceed
8%.
6. Any mining roads or berms should not be built within the 50' undisturbed buffer, since an undisturbed
buffer refers to an area that has not been disturbed. Bui#ding a road or berm is a disturbance.
7. Please provide the calculations (including any assumptions made) that demonstrate the accuracy of the
projected daily discharge of water that will need to be removed from the mine excavation pit. Please
account as well for the contribution to flow from stormwater. Explain haw adequate settling will be
achieved during the early stages of digging (and dewatering) when the size of the pit is too small to
provide adequate settling.

immediately and contact DWQ upon noticing any impacts to surface waters or significant changes in
wetland hydrology and vegetation due to dewatering and will not resume dewatering until DWQ has
conducted an inspection of the mine site. DWQ will be notified if the daily flow exceeds the projected flow

3. Monitoring wells should be of sufficient number to provide data on hydrology of each wetland that has the.
potential to be impacted by dewatering activities. The monitoring wells should be of sufficient depth to be
able to demonstrate wetland hydrology (shallow wells required). Five new monitoring wells are proposed
in the plan. Please be sure monitoring wells are within the wetlands in as close a proximity to the
undisturbed buffer as possible, but not in the buffer.
4. Mining roads or berms should not be built within the 50' undisturbed buffer, since an undisturbed buffer
refers to an area that has not been disturbed. Building a road or a berm is considered a disturbance.
5. Please provide a minimum length of 13' for each level spreader. The plan does not identify the length of
the level spreader in the design (attachment C2). The number of level spreaders and their locations
should provide recharge to all wetlands that have the potential of being impacted by dewatering activities.
6. Any mining roads or berms should not be built within the 50' undisturbed buffer, since an undisturbed

Dear Mr: Cox:
Coleen H Sullins, Director
Division of Water Quality
The Division of Water Quality's Stormwater Permitting Unit received a National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System (NPDES) permit application for Old New Britton Road Mine on October 16, 2007. The
application included a copy of an associated application for a mining permit submitted to the Division of Land
Resources (DLR). Please be aware that the issuance of an NPDES permit is contingent upon the issuance of an
associated mining permit from DLR. Our office will process your stormwater permit application once a DLR
mining permit has been issued for your project.
We received one set of plans for the proposed mine. Please also provide two additional sets of the plans
previously submitted.
Please also be aware that if your project is located near wetlands, your NPDES permit will require
dewatering operations without wetland impacts. The specific requirements for mine dewatering at facilities
near wetlands can be found in the text of the general NPDES mining permit number NCG 020000 available on
our website, http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/su/Forms_Documents.htm. See Section C, Part I of the permit on the
page labeled, "Part III Page 5 of 9".. An approved Operation and Monitoring Plan is required for NPDES-
permitted mining facilities. Discharging mine dewatering wastewater without Plan approval will be subject to
enforcement action. A Plan for your facility must be submitted to the Wilmington Regional Office within 60
days of your receipt of an NPDES permit. We encourage you to contact Linda Willis at the Wilmington
Regional Office at [phone] to address any wetland concerns for your facility in order to ensure a
successful NPDES application review.
If you have any questions concerning the NPDES permit approval process, please contact me at
telephone number [phone] ext. 360:
