Re: Mining Activity Permit No. 30-08 (Davie County)

Dear Mr. Conrad:

I am writing you about the .meeting in Salisbury
between representatives of the City of SalisbUry, Mr. Thomas E.
Carroll, Mr. Wallace E. Venrick, and several professional staff
members of the Winston-Salem Regional Office of the North
Carolina Department of Natural Resources and Community
Development.

It is the position of the City of Salisbury that the
mining activities contained in Mining Activity Permit No. 30-08
(Davie County) could well endanger the public drinking water
supply of the City. It is also the position of the city that,
if the City of Salisbury had been rightfully included in the
notification process, that a public hearing, in accordance with
North Carolina General Statute No. 74-51, would have concluded
that a "significant public interest" existed and that their
permit would either have been delayed, pending further study, or
denied. The fact that the permit has been issued is of small
consequence considering the significant health and environmental
question now raised by the city.

When Mr. springer purchased his "Point Farm" in Davie
county, it was conveyed to him subject to an easement for the
City of Salisbury to cross his farm with pipes and draw drinking
water from the Yadkin River. Also, the City of Salisbury'S
pumping station is located opposite Mr. Springer's border on the
South Yadkin River. Mr. Springer apparently did not inform the
Commission that his proposed dredging operations were
immediately upstream from a drinking water supply intake
structure. Furthermore, we feel Salisbury qualifies as an
adjoining land owner within the meaning of Rule .0004 relating
to information required in permit applications. Mr. springer
did not notify the city of Salisbury of his pending application.

These omissions went undetected probably because the
winston-Salem Regional Office of the NRCD does not supervise the
Salisbury drinking water operations (Salisbury is under the -
Mooresville Regional Office). The county and municipal
officials notified were probably Mocksville and Davie County.
If they were notified, they did not inform the city of
Salisbury.. A permit was eventually issued without any public
hearing or any findings. of fact as to whether or not the
dredging activities could pose any danger to a public drinking
water supply.

At our meeting in Salisbury, Mr. venrick stated he
would have had serious reservations about issuing a dredging
permit for an area close to a public drinking water intake
structure. Mr. Carroll stated that Mr. Venrick's department
would have been consulted prior to issuing a permit if it was
knowledgeable about the fact that the area was near a public
drinking water supply intake.

We feel Mr. Venrick's concerns about issuing the
permit would have clearly led to a determination that
"significant public interest" existed. Therefore, a public
hearing would have been conducted pursuant to section 74-51. We
again request that the Mining Permit be either revoked or
suspended until appropriate findings of fact can be made. We
appreciate Mr. Springer's "rights" to pursue legal business
activities, but he should not be allowed by the State of North
Carolina to embark on a venture that might endanger a public
drinking water supply. When he bought his farm, he knew one of
the bordering rivers was used for a drinking water supply. He
should have the absolute duty to prove beyond a reasonable doubt
that his proposed mining activities will not in any way pose any
threat to the drinking water supply of citizens of North
Carolina.

We thank you for your consideration in this matter.

Sincerely,

Re: Mining Activity Permit No. 30-08 (Davie County)

Dear Mr. Conrad:

The Mayor has requested that I provide additional
technical information for your review concerning the subject
mining permit. As he has stated, our position is that the
permit should be revoked or suspended. However, the state
representative present requested more information. I am
outlining our technical concerns and enclosing a copy of all
correspondence.

The City staff and our consultants expressed serious
concerns about the impact of the dredging operation on our water
supply. In addition to those concerns outlined in our previous
letter, we are especially concerned about the possible impact of
manganese and iron found in the sand deposits on the river bed.
Taste and odor problems may be caused by the dredging operation.
The presence of organic matter in the sand deposits create the
potential to produce chlorinated organic compounds or
trihalomethanes which are suspected carcinogens. All of these
concerns translate into increased treatment costs and difficulty
in maintaining water quality and meeting federal and state
standards.

Who will monitor the operation and guarantee
compliance if our water quality concerns are proven to be
unfounded? Additional concerns must be addressed concerning the
operation of the site itself. The holding pond could rupture
and create a discharge that would seriously impact our treatment
plant. Spills of fuel or improper disposal of sewage for the
operators have not been adequately addressed. The close
proximity of our intake allows us no room for error and no time
to compensate for a spill.

We appreciate the spirit of cooperation and

We request that a thorough review be made of the impact and that
until a final determination can be made, that the permit be
suspended. The City of salisbury will continue to take all
remedies available to us to protect the health, safety, and
welfare of our citizens.

If you have any technical questions, please do not

Re: Proposed Dredging in Yadkin River
P&W Project 0330

Dear Mr. Vest:

In reference to the meeting in Salisbury on February 28, 1989, I am of
the opinion that the list of potential problems as provided by Lee S.
D.1kes was excellent. '!he point that he nade concerning the potential
for water quality problems occurring during the low flow in the Yadkin
River am at the time of peak water demarrl, Le., the hot surraner
months, was excellent.

I concur that potential problems caused by odor, taste, Manganese,
Iron, organics and turbidity are.exce€d.ingly serious, and should not
be pennitted. I also believe the potential for an increase in
Trihalamethanes will naturally follow an increase in organics. It
appears to me the meeting concluded, the best way to keep from having
these potential problems is to prevent the cause of their creation.

I discussed the classification of the segment of the Yadkin River that
serves as a source of raw water for the City of Salisbury with a
representative of the Division of Envirornnental Managemant today. I
am infonned that the Yadkin River is classified WS III from the
confluence of the Ararat River and Yadkin River to an imaginary line
crossing the Yadkin River connecting the mouths of SWearing creek and
Crane Creek. You nay already have this infonnation.

I enjoyed participating in the meeting on March 28, 1989 and will be
pleased to assist the city of Salisbury in any way reasonable to get
this problem solved in the best inte...-rest of the city; therefore, let
me know if and when I nay be of help.

Very truly yours,

MEMO FOR MEETING OF FEBRUARY 28TH WITH SALISBURY &

RE: SALISBURY WATER INTAKE

1. By letter
that the sand pumping

undated
operation
turbidity

City of Salisbury suggests
in the Yadkin River "would
levels in the river water

2. We suggest that to determine if there is a
"significant increse" that it would be constructively helpful
if Salisbury would furnish a quantification of the historical
turbidity levels of the river water entering the intake. We
have suggested that we operate our pump with the City
observing so that an estimate of the quantification of the
increasp in turbidity resulting can be estimated. From these
quantifications a conclusion as to whether our pump
"significantly increase tubidity levels in tile river water
entering" Salisbury's intake can be made.

3. Our sand pump sucks in water, sand and all other
turbid material at the rate of 2,000 gallons per minute
through an eight inch pipe. The base of our operations is
approximately 1600 feet above the intake with a maximum
operating radius of approximately 750 feet. The river is
approximately 400 feet wide in this area. Salisbury's intake
located very close to the bank. Their intake it is premised
is say not more than ten feet by six feet - although this is
only an estimate Salisbury can furnish the exact
measurements.

4. We sugge~t that it is highly improbable that
there is a significant "increase turbidity levels in the
river water entering the intake" The facts appear to
Indicate that there is no increase and possible a dec.rease_~_

February 23, 1989

City of Salisbury, N. C.

PROBLEM: Proposed sand mining operation directly above the raw
water intake for the City of Salisbury's public
drinking water supply. The operation of such a
facility, whether intermittently or continuously,
could have detrimental effects on river water quality.

SOME POSSIBILITIES

1. Water quality in the river will change.

2. Changes in water quality affect its treatability.

3. Changes in water quality affect the chemical requirement for
treatment.

4. Intermittent changes in water quality require more frequent
laboratory monitoring to. prescribe proper chemical feed
dosages.

5. Stirring water,will do little to change its quality, but
stirring the river bottom benthic deposits continuously or
intermittently will affect water characteristics chemically,
physically, and biologically.

6. Some of the most aggravating drinking water problems have
been caused by turnover in lake bottoms caused by
temperature changes. (Manganese, iron, taste, odor,
dissolved oxygen, etc.)

7. The normal seasonal changes in river flow will cause mining
operations to produce differing effects. stirring a drought
flow will result in a greater change in quality rather than
stirring a flood flow. This will be occurring at the same
time of maximum water use demand.

8. Should mining operations become successful as would be
expected, increased activity would follow. Truck traffic,
road building, lubricant and fuel oil handling, sanitary
facilities, accidents spills and similar activities would
increase. All of these could cause problems.

.'

/

--- ./~~
/

9. Once this operation is started, who will monitor its growth
change requirements to insure continuing protection to the
Salisbury public water supply?

10. Increased laboratory monitoring, increased wear on pumping
equipment caused by stirred up grit, increased chemical
treatment costs caused by quality changes, increased
complaint handling caused by manganese, iron, taste, and
odor will be paid for by which responsible party?

11. will the Environmental Protection Agency, the N.C. State
Board of Health watershed regulations, and other controlling
authorities, who have an interest and responsibility in this
activity, approve such operations - unless much, much, more
detail about the scope of proposed operations is given. For
example: What will the on site equipment do? What are
pumping rates, hours of operation per day, fuel requirement?
How will it be stored and dispensed? How will sand be
transported? How will the sand be stored? What are the
protections for the future? What system of handling fuel or
other spills is proposed?

12. If a problem should develop that cannot be handled by
Salisbury water treatment personnel, who can order the
mining operation to cease operations? Who can issue the
order to resume operations?

13. Who is the immediate controlling authority?

14. What shall be sufficient treatment interference to stop
operations? suspect? Fact? will it be justifiable to stop
operations of the mining operation and observe if the
problem stops? If it does, is this reason enough to keep
the operation shut down?

15. Removing sand, sludge, and other debris from a lake or
stream is desirable because it renders structures and
channels free of obstructions. This kind of mining, if
controlled completely by the public water supplier so as to
not interfere with optimum operation of the public water
supply to obtain optimum water quality at the least cost to
the water customer, is highly desirable. The proposal has
not stated this as its objective.

16. Careful and seemingly endless recitation of possibilities,
that may create problems in the future, is not done to
negate but to properly consider all factors so that we do
not blindly go into something filled with bad surprises. As
responsible people, public workers dislike all bad

"

surprises because there is a possibility that the public
may be hurt. In addition, action may be taken initially to
minimize, avoid, or prevent some of the possibilities from
happening. Finally, there may be instances that the cost
and benefit does not justify carrying out a proposal or.
plan. Careful evaluation of all possibilities can lead to
the best action to take.

Dear Dr Wear:
I spoke on the phone the other day with your staff
and furnished the information requested. Unfortunately the
sand pmmp is custom built so that there is no published data.
However, am advised the pump will pump 2,000 gallons per
minute. Your staff and the State people will be here monday
and will be able to examine the plate on the pump and the
engine driving it and arrive at the facts.

I suggest that perhaps our difficulties are sematic
Dredging is a horrid word as far as turbidity is
concerned. There are drag line, endless chain bucket and
clam shell dredges, amongst others. These, of course, create
massive turbidity. Ours is not a dredge. It is a sand pump
and sucks water and tubidity in at the rate of 2,000. gallons
a minute leaving little, if any, turbidity to get past the
pump.

I am hopeful you will accompany your staff on their
visit to the farm on monday.

With best personal regards,

Sincerely,

Dear Mayor Wear: . -

This is in response to your letter concerning the Sand Resources,
Incorporated dredging activity upstream fran Salisbury's drinking
water intake. On receiving your letter, we asked our Regional Office
personnel in Winston-Salem to coordinate with Mr. Ernest Ca.iri'of the
Water Supply Branch of the Departrrent of Human Resources arrl ~lith the
Division of Environmental Management, and to assess the problem. Mr.
Lindy Leonard of our staff inspected the site on January 9, but the
mine was not operating that day. Mr. Leonard also contacted Human
Resources and Environmental Management personnel.

The mine operator, Mr. David Springer, has indicated his
willingness to cooperate with Salisbury and the state in alleviating
the concerns. It is suggested that you call a meeting of the key
people involved, including Mr. Springer and representatives fran
Human Resources, Environmental Management, and our staff. Perhaps an
agreement can be reached at the meeting that will result in a solution
to the problem.

We regret that you were not aware of the application for the
mining permit last fall. The applicant notified adjoining property
owners am the Davie County manager of his application, as is required
by the Mining Act of 1971. We received no requests for a hearing and,
unfortunately, we were not aware of your interest.

Dr. John E. Wear, M. D.

Salisbury, N. C.

Dear Dr. Wear:

Thank you for you

and your Staff meeting with

me yesterday.

I believe that we were in agreement that the
if the dredging operation was detrimental to your water
supply we would take .whatever action necessary to remedy the
problem.

We did not resolve the question of whether or
not the operation increases the turbidity of the water that
would enter your intake. I think we agree that this is the
factual question that must be decided. I do not believe we
arrived at a method of resolving this question. There are
various options one of which is to actually operate the
dredge for your observers for them to decide for themselves
if as your Staff suggests turbidity is increased or as we
contend turbidity is in fact decreased. However, we are open
to whatever suggestions you may have.

Some facts we did not present fully yesterday
you might consider:

1. The dredge sucks up water and sand
through an eight inch pipe at the rate of 2,000 gallons per
minute. We believe the suction is so great that all water
within a considerable radius is sucked in and none which
might contain turbidity escapes downstream.

2. Our operation is some 1600 feet
upstream from your intake. The river is some 400 feet wide
at the intake and, of course, all water flowing in the river
does not go through or around the intake which is I estimate
only twelve feet wide. Since our suction pipe is only eight
inches wide and sucks in all water within a considerable
radius of it (and we suggest for factual verification none of
which escapes downstream) the probability of any water
containing increased turbidity entering the intake would

Dp.ar Dr. Wear:

Your letter to Stephen Conrad of Land
Resources has just come to hand. Sand Resources and my wife
and I were applicants for both a Mining Permit and a Water
Quality Permit under the NPDES program administered by the
State. My wife and I have several miles on the Yadkin and
South Yadkin River up from the pump station.

We shar.e your concern over the integrity iof
the water supply for the City of Salisbury and Rowan County
and you may be assured that we will cooperate with you in
every way to sp.e that our operation does not adversely affect
it. As you may know we have been very active over the last
twenty years or more in protection of the quality and
quantity of water in the Yadkin River.

We have more in common than diversity. Our
operation can surely be far enough up stream so as not to
affect your water supply. I understand that you are
considering building what will be your third water intake
structure in the Yadkin River. As your water supply lines
cross our land I note your first intake is completely silted
up and your second one well on its way. From a position up
stream far enough so as not to affect your intake we can
bring our dredge down and clear your present intake and in
the future keep it clear and thus avoid building your second
intake - if indeed such an intake is under consideration.

Dear Mr. Conrad:

The undated letter of Dr. Wear, Mayor of
Salisbury has just c9me to hand. I enclose a copy of my
letter to him of even date. I am hopeful that we will be
able to sit down and sort this problem out.

Factually our present location is nearly a
half mile up stream from Salisbury's intake and our discharge
water is fed into the South Yadkin River in order to avoid
any problems with Salisbury's intake. If this is found not
to be satisfactory we have other options for other sites that
will meet the most stringent requirements.

Re: Mining Activity Permit No. 30-08 (Davie County)

Dear Mr. Conrad:

I am writing concerning the above referenced permit which was
recently granted by the Department of Natural Resources and
Community Development. The sand dredging operation approved
by said permit is scheduled to be operated immediately upstream
from the City of Salisbury drinking water intake structure on
the Yadkin River.

The only way the City of Salisbury became aware of this situation
was that its employees noticed an apparent dredging operation was
being established immediately upstream from the water intake
structure on the Yadkin River. We started investigating this
matter and have now been furnished a copy of Permit No. 30-08.
The City received no notification that an application for such
a permit was under consideration. Our attorneys have informed us
that North Carolina General Statute Section 74-51 allows an appli-
cation for a permit to be denied if the proposed mining activity
would have certain enumerated adverse effects. The statute section
also provides that if significant public interest exists, the
Department shall conduct a public hearing on the application for
a new mining permit. While the determination of whether or not
a significant public interest exists is up to the Department, I
cannot imagine many things more significant to the public interest
than the protection of a water supply to more than 30,000 residents
in an adjoining county. We feel your office must not have been
furnished with all the necessary facts in this matter. We believe
Permit No. 30-08 was granted prematurely in that it was granted
without the benefit of a public hearing.

We have been informed that a dredging operation at the proposed
location would have adverse effects on a public drinking water
supply as follows:

Mr. Stephen G. Conrad, Director

(1) The dredging operation would significantly increase
turbidity levels in the river water entering the intake.
The more stringent finished water turbidity requirements
recently proposed by the Federal Government may not be
able to be met.

(2) Introduction of bottom sediments and silt not pre-
viously a problem would cause increased levels of iron and
manganese in both the river water and the finished treated
water from the water treatment plant.

(3) The increased turbidity and silt would require increased
levels of pre-disinfectant (chlorine) due to the lowered
effectiveness of chlorization for disinfection of turbid water.

(4) Increased levels of sand and silt in the raw water supply
would increase abrasion wear of raw \vater pumps and piping.

(5) Increased raw water turbidity \vou1d significantly increase
water treatment costs due to the costs of additional coagulant,
disinfectant; and the activated carbon dosages necessary to
produce a potable product. Additionally, increased silt and
turbidity would adversely affect routine physical operations
of reservoirs, water treatment plant, and residuals management
units due to the increased amounts of sludge resulting from
increased chemical dosages.

We respectfully request that Mining Permit No. 30-08 be suspended until
a public hearing is held. At the public hearing, all interested parties
will be able to furnish your Department with the information necessary
to make an informed decision on whether or not the suspension should be
lifted or the Permit revoked.

Dear Representative Brown:

This letter is in response to your recent inquiry concerning
the requirements of this Division as related to The Point Sand
Company. There are currently two specific matters that relate to
our program which have not been resolved with The Point Sand
Company. One matter involves the Division's .Section 401 Water
Quality Certification required for the Army Corps of Engineers'
Section 404 Permit because the darn and the settling pond for the
sand mining activity were built in a wetland without first
obtaining the Army Corps of Engineers' 404 permit. The other
matter involves NPDES Permit No. NC0075019 issued to the Point
Sand Company on January 3, 1989, which requires the permittee to
obtain an Authorization to Construct from the Division prior to
construction of the treatment facilities, i.e. the settling pond.
The Company failed to follow the correct procedure which was to
apply for the 401 and the Authorization to Construct prior to
constructing the settling pond.

Our Water Quality staff members reviewed the application and
inspected the site on May 26 to determine whether the fill in
wetlands should be issued a Water Quality Certification. Our
conclusion was that the wetlands lost by creation of the darn and
wetlands affected by inundation by the settling pond do not
represent a water quality problem. Therefore, we issued a Water
Quality Certification on ~lay 30, 1989, for the wetland fill. The
Corps of Engineers vlill hopefully make a decision on the
after-the-fact permit at an early date.

Under Title 15, North Carolina Administrative Code (NCAC) 2H
.0318 and NPDES Permit No. NC0075019, submission of final plans
and specifications signed and sealed by a Registered Engineer and
approval 0:: these plans (Authorization ~.o CorLstruct) are

advised in a letter of April 7, 1989 that the pond was built In
violation of the permit requirements. Plans for the settling pond
have now been submitted by Mr. springer (May 1, 1989). However,
the submitted plans have not been signed and sealed by a
Registered Engineer and thus are not approvable, as submitted.
Mr. Springer contends that the water from the sand mining
activity is not a wastewater and that the settling pond is not a
wastewater treatment facility. We do not agree with this opinion
and have required permits on all similar operations in the state.
Once the plans and specifications have been submitted with the
required signature and seal of a Registered Engineer, we will
expeditiously review the plans to determine their adequacy. We
have advised Mr. Springer of the need to promptly address this
matter.

Dear Mr. Springer:

This letter is in response to your letters of April 24 and
27, 1989 concerning the requirements of this Division as related
-to The Point Sand Company. There are currently two specific
matters that relate to our program which have not been resolved
with The Point Sand Company. One matter involves the Division's
Section 401 Water Quality Certification (33 USCA 1341) required
for the Army Corps of Engineers' Section 404 Permit (33 USCA
1344) because the dam and the settling pond for the sand mining
activity were built in a wetland without first obtaining the Army
Corps of Engineers' 404 permit. The other matter involves NPDES
Permit No. NC0075019 issued to the Point Sand Company on January
3, 1989, which requires the permittee to obtain an Authorization
to Construct from the Division prior to construction of the
treatment facilities, i.e. the settling pond. The Company failed
to follow the correct procedure which was to apply for the 401
and the Authorization to Construct prior to constructing the
settling pond.

At the present time, the Point Sand Company has not yet
received a Section 404 permit from the Army Corps or Engineers.
A prerequisite for the Corps permit is that DEM issue a 401 Water
Quality Certification that the fill activity in the wetlands will
not violate water quality and other water pollution standards.

The DEM Certification and the Corps' permit are processed
jointly through public notice issued by the Corps on March 30,
1989 (a copy attached). The Corps' permit is required for this
project only bec~use the dam for the settling pon~ was built in a
wetland area. The discharge from the settling pond to the river
is regulated under the NPDES program. This discharge is
regulated differently from discharges of effluent from diked
settling basins from hydraulic dredging projects such as those
common in coastal areas. It is the nature of the act, sand
mining versus hydraulic dredging, that ,determines which permit
jurisdictions apply to the discharge to the river. The effluent
from the disposal of dredged material is specifically regulated
under Section 404 of the Clean Water. Act (Corps of Engineer's
permits for dredge and fill materials) whereas the discharge from
a sand mining activity is regulated under Section 402 (33 USCA
1342) of the Clean Water Act (NPDES permits for discharge). The
404 implementing regulations in 33 CFR 323.2(d) states that
"Discharges of pollutants into waters of the United States
resulting from the onshore subsequent processing of dredged
material that is extracted for any commercial use (other than
fill) are not included within this term (discharge of dredged
material) and are subject to Section 402 of the Clean Water Act
even though the extraction or deposit of such material may
rcquil-e a permit from the Corps of Engineers."

Our Water Quality staff members inspected the site on May 26
to determine whether the fill. in wetlands should be issued a
Water Quality Certification. Our conclusion was that the
wetlands lost by creation of the dam and wetlands affected by
inundation by the settling pond do not represent a problem either
for specific water quality standards nor result in the loss of
existing uses as protected by the Antidegradation Policy.
Therefore, we issued a Water Quality Certification on May 30,
1989, for the wetland fill. The Corps of Engineers will
hopefully make a decision on the after-the-fact permit at an
early date.

Wastewater discharges from sand mining activities are
regulated under the NPDES permit process (Section 402 of the
Clean Water Act). The U.S. EPA has established effluent
guidelines for discharges from sand mining which specifically
apply to the type of activity which the Point Sand Company is
conducting. (See Title 40, code of Federal Regulations [CFR]
436.30.). The Company was issued NPDES Permit No. NC0075019 in
accordance with the federal regulations and state law at G.S.
143-215.1. The EPA effluent guidelines at 40 CFR 436.32 along
with the N.C. Water Quality Standards are used in establishing
effluent limitations and requirements for the NPDES permit to
discharge. The term "Pollutant" as defined in 40 CFR 122.2 does
include dredged spoil, rock, sand, as well as municipal,

industrial and agricultural waste and other types of pollutants.

While North Carolina's NPDES program must satisfy Federal Law
and Regulations, the program must be implemented on the basis of
State Law and state Administrative Code. These State
requirements may be more stringent than or require additional
measures to be taken beyond the Federal Law. Specifically,
G.S. 143-215.1(a)(2) requires a permit to "construct. or operate
any sewer system, treatment works, or disposal system within the
State." The term "treatment works" is defined in G.S. 143-213
(17) as any plant, septic tank disposal field, lagoon, .... or
other works not specifically mentioned herein, installed for the
purpose of treating, equalizing, neutralizing, stabilizing, or
disposing of waste. The term "waste", G.S. 143-213 (18) means
'industrial waste' among others which means "any liquid, solid,
gaseous, or other waste substance, or combination thereof
resulting from any process of industry, ... or from the
development of any natural resource." Therefore, the wastewater
from the mining of the sand (a natural resource) is an industrial
waste and. the settling pond, to remove clays, silts, sand too
fine to be removed in the sand removal stage, organics and other
substances present in the material pumped from the river bottom,
is clearly a treatment works. Under Title 15, North Carolina
Administrative Code (NCAC) 2H .0318 and NPDES Permit No.
NC0075019, submission of final plans and specifications signed
and sealed by a Registered Engineer and approval of these plans
(Authorization to Construct) are required prior to constructing
the facilities. Although these initial steps were followed for
the permit issued to The Point Sand Company (January 3, 1989), as
stated above, the required prior approvals were not obtained. At
a recent site visit to this facility, this was documented and a
letter was sent from our Regional Supervisor, Mr. Larry Coble,
advising that the construction was in violation of the terms of
the permit and outlining the actions' required to resolve the
violation. A copy of Mr. Coble's April 7, 1989 letter is
attached.

The plans for the settling pond which were received May 1,
1989, have not been signed and sealed by a Registered Engineer
and thus are not approvable as submitted. You contend that the
water from the sand mining activity is not a wastewater and that
the settling pond is not a wastewater treatment facility. We do
not agree with this opinion and have required permits on all
similar operations in the State. The mining activity proposed
will hydraulically remove deposits (sand, silts, clays, organic
material and other deposits) from the river bottom. The sand
will be mostly removed from the water and other materials. The
remaining materials which have now been resuspended in water will

...

be returned to the river. The settling pond must be properly
designed to remove most of the clay and silt so that the
discharge will not violate the NPDES permit requirements for
turbidity and suspended solids. "rhe Company should submit a
properly signed and sealed set of plans and specification for
these treatment facilities for our review and approval.

In summary, the Water Quality Certification which must be
obtained before the Corps of Engineers may issue the permit for
the wetland fill has new been issued. The Authorization to
Construct required by the NPDES permit cannot be issued until
satisfactory plans and specifications for the settling pond have
been submitted, reviewed, and approved. Without such an
Authorization to Construct, the Company remains in violation of
the conditions of the NPDES permit. Once the plans and
specifications have been submitted with the required signature
and seal of a Registered Engineer, we will expeditiously review
the plans to determine their adequacy. You should promptly
address this matter.

If you have any questions or if I can be of any assistance,
please let me know. I can be reached at 919-733-7015.

Dear Mr. Speaks:

NPDES Permit No. NC0075019 that was issued to Sand Resources
and to David and Diana Springer for the discharge of wastewater
to the South Yadkin River became effective on January 3, 1989.
The Supplement to Permit Cover Sheet states that Sand
Resources, Inc., and David and Diana Springer are hereby
authorized to:

1. After receiving an Authorization to Construct from the
Division of Environmental Management, construct and
operate wastewater treatment facilities located at the
end of NCSR 1822 in southeastern Davie County (See part
III of this Permit).

Part III, (B) states that "No construction of wastewater
treatment facilities or additions thereto shall be begun until
Final Plans and Specifications have been submitted to the
Division of Environmental Management and written approval and
Authorization to Construct has been issued."

Our ;records show that a request for Authorization to
Construct has not been received and a site visit revealed that
the dam has been constructed.

A request for Authorization to Construct must be accompanied
by three (3) sets of plans and specifications which have been
prepared by a Registered Engineer. The Engineer must then
certify that the project was installed in accordance with the
approved plans and specifications.

March 30, 1989

PUBLIC NOTICE

MR. DAVID SPRINGER, THE POINT SAND COMPANY, ROUTE 4, BOX 267, MOCKSVILLE,
NORTH CAROLINA, 27028, has applied for a Department of the Army after-the-fact
permit TO AUTHORIZE THE PLACEMENT OF FILL MATERIAL IN WETLANDS ON THE POINT
ADJACENT TO THE CONFLUENCE OF THE YADKIN AND SOUTH FOR~ YADKIN RIVERS, AT THE
END OF S.R. 1822, NEAR COOLEEMEE, Davie County, North Carolina.

This public notice does not imply, on the parts of the Corps of Engineers
or other agencies, either favorable or unfavorable opinion of the work
performed; but it is issued to solicit comments on the factors listed above on
which a final decision will be based. Legal action has been suspended pending
the outcome of this consideration. The reference file No. for this
enforcement action is CESAW-C089-E-030-0202.

The following description of the work is taken from data provided by the
applicant and from observations made during onsite visits by representatives
of the Corps of Engineers. Plans submitted with the application show
construction of an earthen dam within wetlands to create a settling pond in
conjunction with sand mining activity on Mr. Springer's property. Overflow
from the settling pond flows via pipe into the South Fork Yadkin River.
Approximately 6,600 square feet of wetlands have been filled to construct the
dam. Impounded waters will impact approximately 1.66 acres of wetlands
primarily vegetated with black willow, button bush, rushes and sedges. These
wetlands were cleared for pasture a number of years ago. Plans showing the
work are included with this public notice.

The State of North Carolina will review this public notice to determine
the need for the applicant to obtain any required State authorization. No
Department of the Army permit will be issued until the coordinated State
viewpoint on the proposal has been received and reviewed by this agency, nor
will a Department of the Army permit be issued until the North Carolina
Division of Environmental Management has determined the applicability of a
Water Quality Certificate as required by PL 92-500.

The requested Department of the Army permit will be denied if any required
State or local authorization and/or certification is denied. No Department of
the Army permit will be issued until a State coordinated viewpoint is received
and reviewed by this agency. Re~~o~ this notice are encouraged to

furnish comments on factors of concern represented by the above agencies
directly to the respective agency, with a copy furnished to the Corps of
Engineers.

This application is being considered pursuant to Section 404(b) of the
Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C. 1344). Any person may request, in writing within
the comment period specified in the notice, that a public hearing be held to
consider this application. Requests for public hearing shall state, with
particularity, the reasons for holding a public hearing.

The District Engineer has consulted the latest published version of the
National Register of Historic Places for the presence or absence of registered
properties, or properties listed as being eligible for ~nclusion therein.
Past archaeological studies of the property indicate that this work site may
be eligible for inclusion in the Register, and further investigations may be
necessary. Presently, unknown archeological, scientific, prehistorical, or
historical data may be lost or destroyed by work under the requested permit.

The District Engineer has determined, based on a review of data furnished
by the applicant and onsite observations, that the activity will not affect
species, or their critical habitat, designated as endangered or threatened
pursuant to the Endangered Species Act of 1973.

The decision whether to issue a permit will be based on an evaluation of
the probable impacts, including cumulative impacts, of the proposed activity
and its intended use on the public interest. Evaluation of the probable
impacts which the proposed activity may have on the public interest requires a
careful weighing of all those factors which become relevant in each particular
case. The benefits which reasonably may be expected to accrue from the
proposal must be balanced against its reasonably foreseeable detriments. The
decision whether to authorize a proposal, and if so the conditions under which
it will be allowed to occur, are therefore determined by the outcome of the
general balancing process. That decision should reflect the national concern
for both protection and utilization of important resources. All factors which
may be relevant to the proposal must be considered including the cumulative
effects thereof. Among those are conservation, economics, aesthetics, general
environmental concerns, wetlands, cultural values, fish and wildlife values,
flood hazards, flood plain values, land use, navigation, shore erosion and
accretion, recreation, water supply and conservation, water quality, energy
needs, safety, food and fiber production, mineral needs, considerations of
property ownership, and, in general, the needs and welfare of the people. For
activities involving the placement of dredged or fill materials in waters of
the United States, a permit will be denied if the discharge that would be
authorized by such permit would not comply with the Environmental Protection
Agencies' 404(b)(1) guidelines. Subject to the preceding sentence and any
other applicable guidelines or criteria, a permit will be granted unless the
District Engineer determines that it would be contrary to the public interest.

~

-3-

Generally, the decision whether to issue this Department of the Army
permit will not be made until the North Carolina Division of Environmental
Management (OEM) issues, denies, or waives State certification required by
Section 401 of the Clean Water Act. The DEM considers whether or not the
proposed activity will comply with Sections 301, 302, 306, and 307 of the
Clean Water Act. The application and this public notice for the Department of
the Army permit serves as application to the OEM for certification.

Additional information regarding the Clean Water Act certification may be
reviewed at the offices of the Environmental Operations Section, North
Carolina Division of Environmental Management, Salisbury Street, Archdale
Building, Raleigh, North Carolina. Copies of such materials will be furnished
to any person requesting copies upon payment of reproduction costs.

The North Carolina Division of Environmental Management plans to take
final action in the issuance of the Clean Water Act certification on or after
April 22, 1989.

All persons desiring to make comments regarding the application for Clean
Water Act certification should do so in writing delivered to the North
Carolina Division of Environmental Management, Post Office Box 27687, Raleigh,
North Carolina 27611-7687, on or before April 17, 1989, Attention:
Mr. William Mills.

Written comments pertinent to the proposed work, as outlined above, will
be received in this office, Attention: Mr. David Lekson, until 4:15 p.m.,
May 1, 1989, or telephone [phone].

MEMORANDUM

TO: John Parker, Jr., Chief
Major Permits Processing Section

FROM: Don Baker, Program Manager ~~,
Division of Boating and I~heries

DATE: April 18, 1989

SUBJECT: 404 Permit, Mr. David Springer, The Point Sand
Company,-Davie County, North Carolina, PN No. 0233

The Wildlife Resources Commission's biological field
staff conducted an on-site inspection of the Point Sand
Company operation located in Davie County. The purpose of
the site visit was to determine if a COE 404 permit should
be issued after-the-fact since the applicant had placed fill
materials in wetlands on the point adjacent to the
confluence of the Yadkin and South Yadkin Rivers.

Impounded waters will impact approximately 1.66 acres
of previously intermittent wetlands (contains standing water
only after rains and river floods) primarily vegetated with
button bush, rushes, sedges and a few black willow trees.
These wetlands were cleared for pasture a number of years
ago. Impacts to fish and wildlife resources from this
proj ect can be minimized by implementing mitigation
measures. The creation of a permanent 1.66 acre wetland?
with a maximum depth of 3 1/2 feet could actually improve
waterfowl habitat in this area. The applicant plans to
maintain the 1.66 acre impoundment as a refuge for geese and
ducks. Mi tigation measures should include planting
waterfowl food plots in and around the impoundment and
erec~ing several wood duck nest boxes on the pond.

We have no objection to the approval of an after-the-

paqe 2

,
fact 404 permit to the applicant as long as the a . 'cant ..'
follows through with the above mitigation measu~e~~~to
improve waterfowl habitat around the wetland. ' ,1.\

,,.', .

We appreciate the opportunity to review and comment on
this permit. If we can be of any further assistance, please
advise.

Dear Mr. Mills:

SUBJECT: CLEAN WATER ACT CERTIFICATION - MR. DAVID SPRINGER (THE
POINT SAND COMPANY, DAVIE COUNTY)

As owner and operator of High Rock Reservoir under Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission License #2197, Yadkin, Inc. has serious
concerns about the captioned above. The proposed area to be
mined for sand is owned by Yadkin, Inc. in fee simple ownership
and is part of FERC Project #2197. Yadkin, Inc. has not
negotiated nor does it plan any lease arrangement with The Point
Sand Company and will not seek FERC approval for this project.

Yadkin, Inc. received FERC authorization to execute a lease with
statesville Concrete Company to mine sand from High Rock
Reservoir's North Yadkin River section in July of 1988. This
site is down stream and adjacent to the area being reviewed by
your office. Yadkin, Inc. is concerned about the total combined
impact caused by two mining operations within such close
proximity of one another on water quality, fish, wildlife
habitat, and recreation.

Yadkin, Inc. is concerned that the additional turbidity in the
reservoir's water caused by another operation may result in an
unacceptable condition for fisheries and downstream drinking
water intakes -- specifically the city of Salisbury and N.C.
Finishing Company. Yadkin, Inc. owns a 25-foot flood easement
which becomes inundated during flooding over the area planned for
a settling pond and sand storage by The Point Sand Company.
Obviously, any material in that area at the time of flooding will
immediately wash into Yadkin's reservoir. Since the City of
Salisbury's water intake and pump station are immediately
downstream of this area, Yadkin, Inc. is concerned about the
washing of materials into and covering their facilities.
Additionally, any onsite spills of fuels, oils and other
chemicals used by the operator during mining operations would
assuredly adversely affect the city's water supply. Some
destruction of a wetlands area has already taken place and that
destruction will undoubtedly be expanded if mining operations are
permitted. The South Yadkin River is relatively narrow at the

proposed site, and recreation in the area would be impaired by
the addition of mining equipment in the reservoir. The County of
Rowan maintains a boat and canoe access directly across from the
proposed mining area. This access site is part of the Yadkin
River Trail and is part of the N.C. state Trails System. Yadkin,
Inc. maintains a public boating and fishing access area four (4)
miles downstream at York Hill in Davidson County and Davie County
and maintains a similar access area six (6) miles upstream from
the proposed mining site. These areas receive considerable use
by canoeing and boating enthusiasts.

We have enclosed, for your reference, a Yadkin, Inc. FERC Project
Map of the above captioned area and a Yadkin River Map showing
public access areas.

Thank you for your attention regarding this matter, and if you

Administrator
Aluminum Company of America

Badin, North Carolina 28009

Dear Ed:

The public records of Davie County have been searched
with regard to the tract of land owned by David Springer
lying at the confluence to the Yadkin River and the South
Yadkin River.

A memorandum of the conveyances in the Springer chain
of title is attached.

The following observations about the conveyances are
noted as follows:

1. The Springer tract is a part of a greater tract
formerly owned by Carolina Aluminum Company (now Yadkin,
Inc.). The greater tract included the entire bed of the
Yadkin and the South Yadkin rivers.

2. In 1947, Carolina Aluminum Company conveyed all
of the greater tract to Springer's predecessors in title
excepting that portion thereof lying at and below the contour
at elevation 655 feet Carolina Aluminum Company datum.
The retained portion of the land included the beds of the
two rivers and is a part of High Rock Reservoir.

3. Springer acquired an interest in the land in 1966.
(Memorandum, paragraph 14). Thereafter, several maps of
the tract were placed on the public records by Springer
which apparently encroached upon the boundary of the portion
of the greater tract retained by Carolina Aluminum Company,
(Memorandum, paragraph 15).

4. In 1973, Springer placed a deed on record in which
he purportedly conveyed an interest in the bed of the river.
(Memorandum, paragraphs 16 and 17). Apparently he bases
his claim to mine the river upon this deed.

The activity of Mr. Springer .adversely affects the
title of Yadkin, Inc. to a portion of High Rock Reservoir
lying adjacent to Mr. SpLinger's tracL. It is a matter
that should be investigated further and appropriate court
proceedings instituted to remove any cloud upon title to
the resevoir.

Yourf:! truly, . I

DEPARTMENT OF THE ARMY
Wilmington District, Corps of Engineers
Post Office Box 1890
Wilmington, North Carolina 28402-1890

CESAW-C089-N-030-0233

March 30, 1989

PUBLIC NOTICE

MR. DAVID SPRINGER, THE POINT SAND COMPANY, ROUTE 4, BOX 267, MOCKSVILLE,
NORTH CAROLINA, 27028, has applied for a Department of the Army after-the-fact
permit TO AUTHORIZE THE PLACEMENT OF FILL MATERIAL IN WETLANDS ON THE POINT
ADJACENT TO THE CONFLUENCE OF THE YADKIN AND SOUTH FORK YADKIN RIVERS, AT THE
END OF S.R. 1822, NEAR COOLEEMEE, Davie County, North Carolina.

This public notice does not imply, on the parts of the Corps of Engineers
or other agencies, either favorable or unfavorable opinion of the work
performed; but it is issued to solicit comments on the factors listed above on
which a final decision will be based. Legal action has been suspended pending
the outcome of this consideration. The reference file No. for this
enforcement action is CESAW-C089-E-030-0202.

The following description of the work is taken from data provided by the
applicant and from observations made during onsite visits by representatives
of the Corps of Engineers. Plans submitted with the application show
construction of an earthen dam within wetlands to create a settling pond in
conjunction with sand mining activity on Mr. Springer's property. Overflow
from the settling pond flows via pipe into the South Fork Yadkin River.
Approximately 6,600 square feet of wetlands have been filled to construct the
dam. Impounded waters will impact approximately 1.66 acres of wetlands
primarily vegetated with black willow, button bush, rushes and sedges. These
wetlands were cleared for pasture a number of years ago. Plans showing the
work are included with this public notice.

The State of North Carolina will review this public notice to determine
the need for the applicant ,to obtain any required State authorization. No
Department of the Army permit will be issued until the coordinated State
viewpoint on the proposal has been received and reviewed by this agency, nor
will a Department of the Army permit be issued until the North Carolina
Division of Environmental Management has determined the applicability of a
Water Quality Certificate as required by PL 92-500.

The requested Department of the Army permit will be denied if any required
State or local authorization and/or certification is denied. No Department of
the Army permit will be issued until a State coordinated viewpoint is received
and reviewed by this agency. Recipients of this notice are encouraged to

furnish comments on factors of concern represented by the above agencies
directly to the respective agency, with a copy furnished to the Corps of
Engineers.

This application is being considered pursuant to Section 404(b) of the
Clean \~ater Act (33 U.S.C. 1344). Any person may request, in writing within
the comment period specified in the notice, that a public hearing be held to
consider this application. Requests for public hearing shall state, with
particularity, the reasons for holding a public hearing.

The District Engineer has consulted the latest published version of the
National Register of Historic Places for the presence or absence of registered
properties, or properties listed as being eligible for ~nclusion therein.
Past archaeological studies of the property indicate that this work site may
be eligible for inclusion, in the Register, and further investigations may be
necessary. Presently, unknown archeological, scientific, prehistorical, or
historical data may, be lost or destroyed by work under the requested permit.

The District Engineer has determined, based on a review of data furnished
by the applicant and onsite observations, that the activity will not affect
species, or their critical habitat, designated as endangered or threatened
pursuant to the Endangered Species Act of 1973.

The decision whether to issue a permit will be based on an evaluation of
the probable impacts, including cumulative impacts, of the proposed activity
and its intended use on the public interest. Evaluation of the probable
impacts which the proposed activity may have on the public interest requires a
careful weighing of all those factors which become relevant in each particular
case. The benefits which reasonably may be expected to accrue from the
proposal must be balanced against its reasonably foreseeable detriments. The
decision whether to authorize a proposal, and if so the conditions under which
it will be allowed to occur, are therefore determined by the outcome of the
general balancing process. That decision should reflect the national concern
for both protection and utilization of important resources. All factors which
may be relevant to the proposal must be considered including the cumulative
effects thereof. Among those are conservation, economics, aesthetics, general
environmental concerns, wetlands, cultural values, fish and wildlife values,
flood hazards, flood plain values, land use, navigation, shore erosion and
accretion, recreation, water supply and conservation, water quality, energy
needs, safety, food and fiber production, mineral needs, considerations of
property ownership, and, in general, the needs and welfare of the people. For
activities involving the placement of dredged or fill materials in waters of
the United States, a permit will be denied if the discharge that would be
authorized by such permit would not comply with the Environmental Protection
Agencies' 404(b)(1) guidelines. Subject to the preceding sentence and any
other applicable guidelines or criteria, a permit will be granted unless the
District Engineer determines that it would be contrary to the public interest.

-3-

Generally, the decision whether to issue this Department of the Army
permit will not be made until the North Carolina Division of Environmental
Management (DEM) issues, denies, or waives State certification required by
Section 401 of the Clean Water Act. The DEM considers whether or not the
proposed activity will comply with Sections 301, 302, 306, and 307 of the
Clean Water Act. The application and this public notice for the Department of
the Army permit serves as application to the DEM for certification.

Additional information regarding the Clean Water Act certification may be
reviewed at the offices of the Environmental Operations Section, North
Carolina Division of Environmental Management, Salisbury Street, Archdale
Building, Raleigh, North Carolina. Copies of such materials will be furnished
to any person requesting copies upon payment of reprod~ction costs.

The North Carolina Division of Environmental Management plans to take
final action in the issuance of the Clean Water Act certification on or after
April 22, 1989.

All persons desiring to make comments regarding the application for Clean
Water Act certification should do so in writing delivered to the North
Carolina Division of Environmental Management, Post Office Box 27687, Raleigh,
North Carolina 27611-7687, on or before April 17, 1989, Attention:
Mr. William Mills.

Written comments pertinent to the proposed work, as outlined above, will
be received in this office, Attention: Mr. David Lekson, until 4:15 p.m.,
May 1, 1989, or telephone [phone].

Rising from a spring at Blowing Rock in
the Blue Ridge Mountains of North
Carolina, the Yadkin River flows for 100
miles in a northeasterly direction to a
point near Winston-Salem. From this
point it turns to the southeast and emp-
ties into the Atlantic Ocean through
Winyah Bay near Georgetown, South
Carolina. The Yadkin's basin extends
In a northwest-southwest direction
across the central and Piedmont re-
gions of North Carolina. The portion of
the river below the Uwharrie River is
known as the Pee Dee.
The four impoundments shown here
produce electricity for the Badin Works
of Aluminum Company of America. The
power is used to produce aluminum
from refined bauxite [alumina] through
an electrolytic process. The dams and
reservoirs are owned by Yadkin, Inc.,
a wholly-owned subsidiary of Alcoa.
Although the primary purpose of the
reservoirs is to produce power for the
production of aluminum, the impound-
ments also provide raw water supplies
for a number of Tarheel communities,
and attractive, accessable and free

Rising from a spring at Blowing Rock in
the Blue Ridge Mountains of North
Carolina, the Yadkin River flows for 100
miles in a northeasterly direction to a
point near Winston-Salem. From this
point it turns to the southeast and emp-
ties into the Atlantic Ocean through
Winyah Bay near Georgetown, South
Carolina. The Yadkin's basin extends
In a northwest-southwest direction
across the central and Piedmont re-
gions of North Carolina. The portion of
the river below the Uwharrie River is
known as the Pee Dee.
The four impoundments shown here
produce electricity for the Badin Works
of Aluminum Company of America. The
power is used to produce aluminum
from refined bauxite [alumina] through
an electrolytic process. The dams and
reservoirs are owned by Yadkin, Inc.,
a wholly-owned subsidiary of Alcoa.
Although the primary purpose of the
reservoirs is to produce power for the
production of aluminum, the impound-
ments also provide raw water supplies
for a number of Tarheel communities,
