In -Stream Sand Mining Operation

Davie County
Dear Mr. Cassavaugh:
Donald R. van der Vaart
Secretary
This letter is just to confirm the recent conversation that Mike Mickey of this office had with
Jesse Cassavaugh on October 20, 2015, concerning the McMahan Site in -stream sand mining
operation located off Hartey Road near Cooleemee, NC. Based on the conversation, it is our
understanding that this site did not operate in 2014 and has not operated, to date, in 2015.
Please note that the General Permit expired on July 31, 2015. The Division is currently in
the process of renewing the permit. A new Certificate of Coverage will be mailed to you in the near
future. Additionally, our database shows that your annual fee payments are up to date.
Should this in -stream sand dredging operation be re -activated in the future, the permit will
require a semi-annual flow estimate as well as the installation of warning signs on each side of the
river upstream of the operation to warn canoeists and other recreational water users. No
standardized discharge monitoring forms have to be submitted. The records must simply be
maintained for the facility for a period of three years.
Should you have any questions concerning this letter, please contact Mike Mickey or me at
[phone].
