Dear Mr. Spruill:
In accordance with your application for a discharge permit received on April 01, 2016, 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. l 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
Energy, Mineral, and Land Resources. The Division may require modification or revocation and
reissuance of the certificate of coverage.
This general permit allows the discharge of stormwater and certain types of wastewater from your facility.
In your 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 will be required to adhere to the conditions in this permit for stormwater
discharges.
This project is located in one of North Carolina's 20 coastal counties. Coastal stormwater management
rules (15A NCAC 2H .1000) may require an additional State Stormwater Permit (different from the
NPDES mining activities discharge permit). Please contact the Washington Regional Office at
[phone] to determine if you will be required to submit an application 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 Energy, Mining, and Land Resources, or permits required by the Division of Water

Subject: Guinea Mine Stormwater Application
Return. of Check
Mr. Leary:
On April 7, 2016 our office received a $100 check to cover application fees for a NPDES Stormwater
permit application for the Guinea Mine. This facility had previously submitted a permit application to the Division
of Water Resources for coverage under a sand dredging general permit. DWR alerted you to the need to apply for
our permit coverage instead. The original fee was applied to the DWR permit application and you provided a
check to allow us to move forward with the stormwater permit application. We were able to work with the DWR
to get the original application fee transferred to our Division so we are returning your check # 10049 in the
amount of $100.
If you have any further questions please feel free to contact me at bradle .bennett ncdenr. ov or by
phone at [phone].

RE: Guinea Mine NPDES Permit Application Fee
Dear Mr. Bennett:
As my emails sent to you in response to your email notifying me that the application fee
for NCG020000 permit application for Guinea Mine is due prior to it being reviewed by
your department. As I indicated I was of the opinion that the $100 fee we submitted with
the NCG 0520000 application would apply since the NCG020000 application was
submitted at the request of DENR. I have enclosed a check for $100 for the
NCG020000 to avoid a delay in your review. I do expect that the original $100
application fee to be returned if it is not accepted for the NCG020000 — if that is the
case please return my check #10049.
Thank you for your consideration

NCG020000 General Permit Application
Dear Mr. Sledge:
Please find enclosed the above referenced application to replace an earlier application
that was submitted last year as a NCC0520000. I am making this re -application at the
request of Roger Thorpe, Environment Engineer in the Washington office. [See copy of
his email.]
The owner/operator of the Guinea Mine was approached about a land transaction that
would result in his acquiring property which would resulted in joining his Guinea Mine
property with his nearby Spruill Mine property. Had that occurred, Mr. Spruill would have
pursued combining his mining and NPDES permits. That transaction has not
materialized and rather than waiting any longer, Mr. Spruill is submitting this application.
If additional information is needed, please feel free to call or email me.
Sincerely,
Wayne Lea Con l Itant

Mr. Leary, thanks for talking to me this morning. The NCG520000 that you applied for is not the permit that you
need. Please ask for the permit application to be returned and then reapply for the NCG020000 permit. Send your
request to remove the permit to [e-mail]. The link for the NCG020000 permit is

to verify that all mining operations on the site have been stopped. Mr. Spruill assured them that he would not resume
any mine related activities on the property prior to being authorized.
Robert, I left a voice mail for you after learning you are out of the office. Roger, it has been a long time, I hope things are

We have a stormwater general permit application that just came in without a fee attached. As it turns out, they
originally came in for coverage under a wastewater general permit and were told they instead needed to apply for
stormwater. The wastewater application got entered and the fee processed. They want to utilize the fee they sent
before knowing they needed to apply instead to stormwater. How can we go about getting the fee transferred over to
us so we can get the application into BIMS and start our review. I checked with the wastewater staff and they are okay
with the transfer of the $100 fee. It is currently tied to NCG520117.

hi) What is the feasibility of employing a subsurface or surface discharge as compared to a direct
discharge to surface waters?" Discharge waters will be used to subsurface irrigate cropland to the
extent Rossible using a network of extisting drainage ditches for the cropland. Use beyond this level
will not be economically practical for the proposed 15 acre sandpit. See supplemental information abo
the sediment control system. Fresh water discharge into the increasing saline Currituck Sound is helpful.
e) Direct Discharge to Surface Waters: Is discharge to surface waters the most environmentally sound
alternative of all reasonably cost-effective options for the wastewaters being considered?"
® Yes ❑ No
f) If this review included all wastewater discharge types, would excluding some types (e.g. mine
dewatering) make any of the above non -discharge options feasible for some of the wastewaters?
W Yes ❑ No To the extent described above for subsurface irrigation of cropland.
Feasibility should take into account initial and recurring costs. You may be asked to provide
further information to support your answers to these questions after the initial review.

SETTLING POND SIZING INFORMATION
The sediment pond is an existing <1 acre pond that will be used to help control
sediment in the dewatering operations of the sandpit. Should the ❑ivision of Water
Resources determine that this pond needs to be enlarged, it can be done.

DETAILS ABOUT DEWATERING METHOD
ON SITE
1. Swales will be constructed in the bottom of the mine to drain water to the dewatering
pump, or backup pump in the event of a failure of the primary pump. Since pumping
occurs only 2 daystweek. Sediment has an opportunity to settle in the swales.
2. Pump intakes are mounted on floats in attempt to pump as clean of water as possible.
3. Once operational, water will pumped into the sediment pond for that purpose.
4. When the water in the sediment pond reaches ground level, it will gravity flow through
a pipe buried in the berm surrounding the sediment pond and into a wooded retention
buffer`, some may seep into the dick along the access road and off the property.
5. Water will also be able to flow into a larger retention area covered with crops or other
low vegetative growth for sediment to settle out before leaving the property and into
ditches leaving the mine property*.
OFF SITE
1. Once the water enters the farm ditches it provides a source of subsurface irrigation
water for the neighboring fields.
2. After reaches Guinea Road, the water continues in a ditch along the road before
entering a swamp*.
3. From the swamp, the water into the upper section of Rowland Creek that is blocked
with downed trees and limbs*.
4. Water then enters a wider, more open section of the Rowland Creek.
5. From Rowland Creek, the discharge water enters into Tulls Bay.
6. After flowing through Tulls gay, the water enters the Currituck Sound, which has
become more saline over a number of decades and will not be harmed by the freshwater
from the Guinea Mine.
* A number of studies including the extensive Albemarle Pamlico Estuarine Study and
numerous Sea Grant Research Studies developed at NC State University with assistance
from other state universities have shown these areas are very effective in removing
sediment as well as nutrients from discharge waters.
NOTE: With the slight difference in elevation from the Guinea Mine area to the receiving
waters of the Currituck Sound, it slows the flow rate of the water flow and promotes the
settling of sediment out of the water.

Wetlands [swamplands] protect water quality by trapping sediments ... The slow velocity of
water in wetlands allows the sediments to settle to the bottom where wetland plants hold the
accumulated sediments in place.

What Do They Do and Flow Do They Work?: Reduce Sediment and Phosphorus
Riparian buffers, both the grassed and forested portions, serve to slow water velocity, thus
allowing sediment to settle out of the surface runoff water. The grassed portion of the buffer
functions as a grass vegetated filter strip. There is extensive research demonstrating the
effectiveness of vegetated filter strips for sediment removal (Lowrance et al., 1995).
The effectiveness of well -maintained grass riparian buffers for sediment may be as high as high
as 90-95%. Likewise, nitrogen and phosphorus attached to the sediment and, to a lesser
extent, dissolved nitrogen and phosphorus are abated. Frequently, the concentration of
dissolved nutrients in the runoff passing over a grass filter does not change or may slightly
increase. However, because some of the runoff water infiltrates in the buffer, less runoff water
leaves the buffer than enters it. For example, we have observed that approximately half of field
runoff events have no runoff that passes through a 24-foot grass filter. Thus, there is a reduction
in total amount of dissolved nutrients that leaves the filters even though nutrient concentration
may not change. These filter strips are not designed for high velocity flow but, rather, are used
to slow flows so that sediment drops out.
In experiments conducted to determine optimum width of a grass riparian buffer adjacent to a
forested riparian buffer, Parsons (personal communication, 1997) determined sediment
reduction for different grass riparian buffer widths. Approximately 100 data points were collected
for storms that produced >1000 g of sediment loss at the edge of the field. The percent
sediment reduction is calculated as 1.0 — [(grass buffer loss)1(field edge loss)]. In the Piedmont,
28 feet of buffer width retarded sediment such that there was 86---90% reduction (Table 2),
whereas the narrower buffer width of 14 feet reduced sediment loss by 70%. By contrast, the
difference in sediment reduction between grass buffer widths of 14 and 28 feet was not as
marked at a Coastal Plain location: 86% reduction for buffer widths of 28 feet and 76.5%
reduction for 14-foot grass riparian buffers.

the Science Behind Riparian Forest
on Water Quality
Studies indicate that both forest and grass riparian buffers can effectively trap sediment. For
example:
o Researchers in Blacksburg, Virginia, Found that orchard grass filter strips 30 feet wide
removed 84 percent of the sediment and soluble solids from surface runoff, while grass strips
15 feet wide reduced sediment loads by 70 percent (Dillaha and others 1989).
o In the Coastal Plain of Maryland, KY31 tall fescue filter strips 15 feet wide reduced sediment
losses from croplands by 66 percent (Magette and others 1989).
o In North Carolina, scientists estimated that 84 percent to 90 percent of the sediment from
cultivated agricultural fields was trapped in an adjoining deciduous hardwood riparian area
(Cooper and others 1987). Sand was deposited along the edge of the riparian forest, while
sift and clay were deposited further in the forest.
o Along the Little River in Georgia, scientists found that a riparian forest had accumulated
311,600 to 471,900 pounds per acre of sediment annually over the last 100 years (Lowrance
and others 1986).
o Researchers in the Piedmont of North Carolina found that grass and grass -forest filter strips
were equally effective in removing sediments, reducing loads from 60 percent to 90 percent
(Daniels and Gilliam 1996).
Filter Sediments
Riparian buffers filter sediment from stormwater runoff, reducing the amount of
sediment in streams and rivers. Tree roots and downed trees slow the flow of surface
water and form a physical barrier, which allows sediment to settle out and be trapped.

Several studies have shown the effectiveness of riparian buffers in filtering sediment,
including:
In Blacksburg, VA, when 9.1m and 4.6m wide orchard grass buffers were exposed
to shallow, uniform waterflow, they removed an average of 84% and 70% of
incoming suspended solids respectively (Dillaha, Renea, Nlostaghimi, & Lee,
1989).
Over a 100-year period (1880-1979), a riparian zone of a coastal plain agricultural
watershed in Georgia accumulated an estimated 190,667 to 283,276 pounds of
sediment per acre per year (Lowrance, Sharpe, & Sheridan, 1986).
In North Carolina, the movement of runoff was measured through two types of
riparian buffers: a grass buffer and a buffer composed of grass, weeds and small
shrubs that became an area with hardwood trees. The buffers reduced sediment
load in the runoff by 60% to 90%, The effectiveness of the filters varied with the
erosiveness of the watershed and storm intensity (Daniels, 1996).

DESCRIPTIONS OF MEASURES TO PREVENT
EROSION AND FLOODING
The Guinea Mine property is essentially cropland with the exception of approximately
small area of approximately a half acre of woodland. Best Management Farm Practices
are used for grain production of corn, soybeans and wheat. A typical rotation of these
crops is the land is tilled to incorporate lime and fertilizer for planting corn in April or May
and the corn residues are tilled into the soil for planting wheat in October or November
which is followed by soybeans planted the next June or July_ Then the cycle is
repeated. This minimum tillage practice is employed to minimize erosion.
The Guinea Mine dewatering will be conducted to avoid flooding issues of the
surrounding cropland during large rain events.

CONE OF INFLUENCE CALCULATIONS
Based on owner/operator experience operating the nearby Spruill Mine for 15 years
without having a negative impact of drawing down the water level in the reclaimed lake
of the adjacent Flora Pit approximately 300 feet from the Spruill Mine excavation, we
have determined that the cone of influence for the Guinea Mine will not negatively
impact area wetlands or structures that are greater distances from the planned Guinea
Mine excavation.
