Dear Mr Parker
Dee Freeman
Secretary
In accordance with your complete application for a discharge permit received on
February 7 2012, we are forwarding herewith the subject certificate of coverage to discharge
under the subject state — NPDES general permmt This permit is issued pursuant to the
requirements of North Carolina General Statute 143-215 1 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 Water Quality The Division of Water Quality (DWQ) may require modification
or revocation and reissuance of the Certificate of Coverage
Please be aware that mine dewatering at your site has the potential to impact wetlands
adjacent to your mining pit areas You have indicated to DWQ at our meeting on February 7
2012, that you do not believe that your mine dewatering and mining expansion will affect
wetlands at this site Note that removal of use of jurisdictional wetlands is prohibited, removal
of hydrology of jurisdictional wetlands is a violation of wetland standards The water quality
standards for wetlands found in Title 15A North Carolina Administrative Code 213 0231 require
that `Hydrological conditions necessary to support the biological and physical characteristics
naturally present in wetlands shall be protected to prevent adverse impacts on C The chemical
nutrient and dissolved oxygen regime of the wetland D The movement of aquatic fauna and F
Water levels or elevations
The specific requirements for mine dewatering at facilities near wetlands can be found in the text
of the attached permit For new or expanding mine sites or modifications to existing permitted
mine sites, permittees need an approved Operation and Monitoring (O&M) Plan before mine
dewatering discharges occur, discharging mine dewatering wastewater from those sites without
Plan approval will be subject to enforcement action If your mining activities expand or
modifications are proposed, you must work with the Wilmington Regional Office to submit and
approve an Operation and Monitoring plan prior to these changes to your mine site Please note
that even if a permittee is not required to obtain an approved O&M Plan this does not relieve

permittees that dewater to submit an Operation and Monitoring Plan, and will review them on 121?
request
This site will discharge ninic dewatemig wastewater to a receiving stream (Gates
Creek) designated as Shellfishing Waters (SA), High Quality Waters (HQW), and a
Primary Nursery Area (PNA) Circle P- Styron Pit will discharge from the same location and
will be permitted under a transferred permit from the previous owner This permit was originally
permitted in 1996 and currently allows a discharge to these waters DWQ understands from our
meeting with you on February 7, 2012, that the discharge from Circle P- Styron Pit will be
approximately half the volumetric flow rate as the previous owner s at the same location DWQ
supports that reduction in discharge Please note that any neii, discharges to SA HQW PNA
waters will be subject to a wastewater discharge volume Any and all discharges to SA HWQ,
PNA waters are subject to more stringent I SS limits
Please note that mine dewatering wastewater includes wet pit overflows caused solely
by direct rainfall and groundwater seepage for this type of mining operation Any discharge of
this water (and any stormwater commingled with it) is subject to the effluent Itmitations in this
permit
This general perrrnt 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
Additionally new coastal stormwater management rules (SESSION LAW 2008-211)
were implemented October 1 2008 From DWQ s conversation with you in our meeting on
February 7 2011 DWQ understands that you do not intend to increase impervious surfaces at
your mine sites Please note that if you do increase or add additional impervious surfaces which
create stormwater runoff, you may be required to apply for an additional Coastal State
Stormwater Permit Please contact Kelly Johnson in the Wilmington Regional Office at 910-
796-7345 to determine if you will be required to submit an application for this additional permit

Subject RE fyi
It would be a 2 % hr commute But thanks for thinking about me By the way, you need to document the minutes of the
meeting the other day, date it, make a copy of it and forward one to me and keep one for your files I'm disappointed if
management has made the decision to let the permittee discharge above what our rules allow
We've pushed through another permit without getting proper O & M to ensure impacts to neighbors and/or
wetlands/surface waters are identified and addressed Remember Shelter Creek Quarry? Steve Holland, permittee, (ex
commissioner) called upon Carolyn Justice (Representative from the House) to get her to intervene on his behalf Of
course, it worked We received the word from Raleigh to issue the permit without an approvable O & M and before
getting the appropriate information to determine impacts, and from then on, we've had trouble getting an approvable O
& M We'll likely find ourselves in the middle of a law suit for that one It needs to be clear later to a judge and or the
public how and what happened that prompted us to conduct our business that way Rick Shiver tracked down the
political ties that allowed that to happen and reconstructed how we ended up where we did We are still struggling
with that mine pit and now a neighbor is complaining to the paper, has hired a structural engineer to evaluate damages
to their house and will likely take this situation to court You can believe I'll end up getting called to testify

Bradley, Cyndi and Jim,
Are we expecting an 0 & M plan from Mr Parker? We usually require O & Ms when there are issues that have to be
addressed I personally would prefer not having to draft an O & M that does not support our rule of no greater
discharge of wastewater than 50% of the 7Q10 If he is allowed to discharge more than 50% of the 7Q10, that puts our
compliance inspector (too) in a position to have to call the mine compliant when the discharge is not compliant with the
rule for High Quality Waters If we are requiring an O & M, I would prefer that management approve it rather than I, if
the 0 & M does not support our rules
Thank you
Linda

Jennifer,
Thank you for your request for clarification
I have NO INTENT to dewater the Circle P Farm(16-72) to the Styron Pit(16-21) and then
discharge to surface waters I DO NOT understand where that is coming from
Yes, I talked to DLR(Ms Ashley Rogers & Ms Judy Wehner) in Oct 2011 when I was
transferring the Styron pit(16-21) over if they wanted me to combine and they said to keep it
separate because Circle P FARM PIT(16-72) was not complete and approved They advised it
might be feasible down the road
Circle P Farm Permit(16-72) has nothing to do with the issue at hand that permit is
designed, approved, bonded, received and is acceptable to me and all approving agencies I
am wanting to continue the Styron Permit(16-21) which has been approved and bonded and
transferred to me in Oct 2011, told by Linda Lewis I would be grandfathered on two
occassions that I would be allowed to discharge 3ust as Mr Styron has done for FIFTEEN YEARS
PLUS
Now, after the Oct 2011 transfer without any other notification by any State Branch, I am
being ask to sample discharge, apply for a new dicharge with you and now you advise that I
may have to apply for another new State Stormwater Permit that was begun in 2008 Why was Mr
Styron not requested to do water sampling for DWQ, apply for a discharge permit with you
division and get the 2008 stormwater permit) When will this end and how many more "after the
fact" permits must I get)

Mr Bennett,
I would like to postpone the Styron Pit dewaterzng issue until the last week of this month
I have plans to be out of town and will be back around Feb 23, 2012
I appreciate you time this morning and look forward to meeting with Linda and others to
resolve this issue in a way that works for all
I will call Linda on Monday when she gets in the office and discuss a couple thoughts we
discussed today

RE Styron Pit
Thank you for the short and long of it let me explain the rest of the story if you will
Linda,
When I met with you and Joann about a new permit for Circle P Farm in early 2011, I did
discuss options of digging a borrow pit and the end result being a duck impoundment with some
shelves of less than two feet Never did I imply the entire borrow pit would only be two
feet in depth why would anyone go through what I have for the last year(time and money) to
do that? We all concluded that discharging into the creek was not an option and I redirected
my efforts in the design of the new borrow pit discharging into an existing partially
completed pond on the Styron farm next to me I have always stated that the new pit would be
approximately 15 feet in depth and that is what my application showed in May 2011 The new
borrow pit is not adjacent to any creek or wetlands what so ever, just like we discussed in
the field with Joann This permit O&M requires that I maintain a 7 25ft freeboard in the
Styron receiving pond in order not to overflow and allow for rain events Your first
paragraph talks about maintaining the Stryon pit no lower than 7 ft , not draining the
wetlands and monitoring by use of a overflow weir was not discussed and does not apply
because this is a closed loop system with no discharge this pond will be receiving water not
discharging My permit was approved(Permit No 16-72) along with the 0&M plan and there is no
issue with this permit at all I do not plan to start this borrow pit for several years and
I do not understand why you even brought it up Lastly, I was told to register my water
withdraw with DWR and the withdraw rate approved was 47,916 gpd which is the same as my
permit with DLR
After submitting my new pit application in May, 2011, I proceeded in purchasing the Styron
farm(90 acres) and closed on it in August, 2011 Part of the new permit process was showing
proof that I owned the Styron pond where I was potentially discharging my wastewater and that
it was in fact a closed loop system
Now to the issue at hand Before I purchased the Styron farm and before I had DLR transfer
the original Styron borrow pit permit(16-21), I conferred with you several times to make sure
that I would be able to continue pumping just as Styron had for 15+ years and you said yes I
would Based upon that, I had DLR transfer the permit effective Oct 3,2011 I emailed you
on Dec 14, 2011, as a courtesy and ask if there was anything else I needed to do because I
was ready to begin dewatering the Styron pit in order to complete it That is when you told
me to monitor the effluent and I would hear from Jennifer Jones about a discharge permit I
did hire a lab to do the monitoring even though Mr Styron was never required to do so Then
Ms Jones sends me 30+ pages of instructions and a 9 page application for a NCG020000 for a
National Pollutant Discharge Permit I applied for that permit on ]an 24, 2012 and
expressed my suprise & concern to Ms Jones, yourself and she shared them with Mr Bennett
As stated previously to all, if I was informed during the permit transfer or afterwards, I
would have been able to work on versus finding out after the fact and after the transfer
In your Dec 15, 2011 email response to me about other after the fact requirements needed for
the original Styron permit You stated that the Styron pat could only discharge 50% of the
7Q10 flow and you estimate based upon your site visit last Summer the creek had a flow of
40,000gpd leaving the Stryon pit to discharge 20,000gpd I did contact Mr Weaver of USGS amd
ask for his opinion based on USGS info for this site and he responded there was no data
available To comply with this requirement of 20,000gpd or 13 88gpm it will take 613 days to
1

dewater the 2 5 acre borrow pit 15ft deep not allowing for rain or groundwater infiltration
I sent you a picture of 1/6 hp basement pump that produces 12 00 gpm through a 3/4 garden
hose I know the 0&M is to protect the wetland and shellfish 2 miles away, but this is not
reasonable I agreed Monday to voluntarily do monthly water sampling for the first month
even though it is only required quartley and then adjust from there in order to protect the
environment from discharge, but I need the ability to pump at a higher rate in order to
develope the existing Styron pit
Mr Styron has been pumping for many years using a 12" vertical turbine pump discharging at a
very high rate, no water quality monitoring and no discharge permit I do not plan to use
that type pump and I will be willing to be reasonable on the discharge rate and do required
monitoring, but 20,000gpd will not work
I am forward our correspondence to Mr Bennett because you said you would out until Monday
and he is going to call me in the morning I felt like he needs to know both sides
Respectfully,
W F Parker

> I brought ]o with me on our site visit to ensure that there were no wetlands in close
proximity to your new proposed mine "Circle P" that we would be concerned about protecting
due to your dewatering If you will recall, you indicated you were mining to create a
wetland for a waterfowl impoundment and would not need to dig very deep So let me ask you
at this point, how deep did you indicate you would excavate on your permit from DLR? We
weren't expecting anything deeper than a couple feet Is this still the case? If it is
greater than 20 feet deep, we may have a concern for wetlands or the creek that is located
adjacent to this pit You also indicated to protect wetlands around the Styron Pit (because
there are wetlands within close proximity) that you would maintain a certain water level in
the Styron Pit at all times to protect the nearby wetlands from draining (which would work)
and that you could control the level using the elevation of the overflow weir from that pit
All that must be spelled out in writing in your 0 & M I would think maintaining the level
of water in the Styron pit no lower than 7 feet from the surface would protect wetlands in
the nearby vicinity, but 111 have ]o confirm If you decide to dig deeper say over 20 feet
in the Circle P pit, we may need you to put in monitoring wells in wetlands near that pat
> Now, concerning SA shellfishing waters
> You specified a discharge of 20000 gallons per day Please indicate in detail how you will
ensure this to be so and define how you will monitor that daily and document it The
submersible pump is better sized and appears to be the way to go, your calculations look
good You need to specify how you will insure the quality of the discharge will meet the
permit limits for SA waters Since you will pump to the Styron Pit, indicate where on the
map you will introduce that discharge (and logically it needs to be introduced the farthest
point from the outlet from the pit so you have adequate settling time) Revise your 0 & M for
monthly monitoring and state that if the fecal counts are below 14 FCC/100 mL, then you will
2

reduce monitoring to quarterly If any subsequent quarterly test is greater than 14, you
will immediately contact DWQ with the results and discuss any modification to the monitoring
plan in accordance with DWQ's instruction and implement more frequent monitoring at DWQs
request If this occurs, I'll visit with Shellfish Sanitation and determine whether the
levels you are discharging are a threat for closing the shellfish waters I'll find out at
that point too whether you will need more frequent monitoring Monthly may not be often
enough based on the fecal levels By law, we cannot permit a discharge that removes a use
for surface waters and certainly not the taking of shellfish This is why I was really
encouraging you to go non discharge I'll need some help from Shellfish to determine what
levels may be a problem I'm hoping maintaining a low discharge flow will help provide some
protection if the levels of bacteria are high although by law dilution is not supposed
to be used to control pollutant levels Tidal effects too in the creek can make a
difference Your discharge can have a greater effect during low tide than high Shellfish
Sanitation has some monitoring stations in that creek and we'll have to cross that bridge
when we get to it so I can't make any promises on what we may require when we get to
that point Let's hope we don't have a problem You'll need to follow up on the Fecal data

Linda,
This sounds good how about if I monitor the fecal coliform monthly for the first quarter and
see the results and then decide if monthly would be need or go to quarterly
Thanks,

need to check with Shellfish Sanitation concerning the receiving waters They informed me
that Gales Creek may be conditionally opened for shellfishing and that this discharge is of
concern due to the potential for discharging fecal coliform bacteria I originally did not
contact them because at first there was going to be no discharge, which would completely
eliminate any concerns for a discharge They asked me if you would be willing to monitor for
Fecal Bacteria on a monthly basis? They were interested also in the discharge volume I'm
glad to see you are going to limit the discharge to 20k per day, I think that may help reduce
some of the concern for bacteria I let them know you were proposing 20k per day

Somehow we had a disconnect with DLR and our review processes and Mr Parker wasn't notified
that he needed a mining permit until now Mr Parker had transferred ownership from the
previous owner, but during that process, there was no review time in there for the DWQ RO to
do a review I believe he started his mining permit application in October, and he has just

pretty disappointed that it has taken this long for him to know that he needed a DWQ permit

January 30, 2012
O & M Plan
The 0 & M Plan for 90 7 Acre Borrow Pit will consist of the following
criteria
1 Pump Dobbs-240V- 460 gal/min @ 30' head-6" dia discharge
2 Pump has fully automatic panel for start and stop based upon
20,000 gallday discharge requirement
Discharge from borrow pit will be monitored on daily basis even though
pump system is automated Discharge max vol per day will be set at
20,000 gallons and rainfall factor will be monitored in order to meet
overload downstream
Discharge will be reported annually as required by NCDENR Groundwater
Section
Discharge effluent will be monitored, tested, and reported quarterly as per
Table 8, page 14 of General Permit NCG020000
This plan will be implemented by operator on a best management practice in
order to comply with all requirements

3 NOTE Instead of pushing the start button the start
electrode must be in or touching the water There wil' be
no start electrode unless the pump was ordered
Fully automatic operation means that each time the water level rises
to the start electrode the pump will automatically start Then as the
pump reaches the bottom it will automatically shut off The pump will
restart if the water level rises back up to the start electrode unless the
HAND -OFF --AUTO switch (A fig 3 pg 3) has been turned to the OFF
position
If there is a mailunction in the automatic circuit and the pump fails to
operate on automatic fsem or tuily) the pump may be operated on the
HAND position Any time you wish to shut the pump off by hand simply
turn the HAND--OFF-AUTO snitch (A fig 3 pg 3) to the OFF position
IMPORTANT Any time the pump is not in use it is best to turn the
HAND -OFF -AUTO switch to the OFF position and the MAIN POWER
DISCONNECT to the OFF position This could prevent damage to the
electrical components and to the motor due to lightning striking the
power line or a surge of high voltage
MAINTENANCE
CAUTION At any time physical contact must be made with the
pump, motor, wire etc caution should be taken to kill the power by
turning the MAIN POWER DISCONNECT to the OFF posltlon While
the pump and its components have bean properly grounded at the
time of installation, at no time should any person be In the seater or
come in contact with the pump during its operation This company
