Adams, Owner 1108 Tuckda Way Hamptonville, NC 27020 PAT MCCRORY Gavemor DONALD R. VAN DER VAART Secretary S. JAY ZIMMERMAN March 24, 2016 Dtrealor SUBJECT: Compliance Evaluation Inspection Tarheel Sand Mine #68 - NCG520013 & Tarheel Sand Mine #53 — NCG520052 Yadkin County Dear Mr. Adams: Ron Boone, of the NC Division of Water Resources (DWR or the Division), Winston-Salem Regional Office (WSRO), conducted compliance evaluation inspections (CEI) of the subject facilities on March 23, 2016. Your assistance and cooperation during the inspections was greatly appreciated. Inspection checklists are attached for your records and results of the inspections are summarized below. The #68 mine has recently been in operation and you stated during the inspection that it operates approximately 45 — 50 days per year. However, no effluent monitoring or documentation of operations has been done and none was available during the inspection. Also, there are no warning signs on the river upstream of the dredge to warn people of the mining activity ahead. Please read the NCG520000 permit in detail, especially Part I, to ensure you fully comply with all operational requirements of the permit. Part II is also important to understand and fully comply with. Mr. Boone can help to answer any questions you may have. The #53 mine has not been in operation or had a discharge for approximately 20 years. You're reminded that if and when the company decides to put this sand mine back into operation and a wastewater discharge is produced at the site, the company must be in immediate compliance with all conditions of the NCG520000 permit. Please note that violations of the NCG520000 permit at either of these sites, are subject to civil penalties of not more than $25,000 per day per violation. Please correct the violations at the #68 mine as soon as possible and if you have compliance related questions, feel free to contact us at any time.
