Dear Mr. LaBounty, t September 4, 2018
flEQ-FAYETEVI�I_E REilOiy�-,LOFFICt
On September 4, 2018, we received your letter via certified mail containing the notice of
deficiency concerning our plant, Southern Products & Silica Company Inc., which will be
referred to as SP&S throughout the rest of this letter. Since the inspection by Mike Lawyer on
August 22, 2018, we have taken several steps to ensure our Water Quality Program, which
encompasses the discharge of stormwater, mine dewatering, and/or the process of waste water
from the facility to receiving waters, meets the requirements outlined in our permit. Per your
letter, here is our detailed response to the actions we have taken to ensure compliance:
Analytical Monitoring
Previously, SP&S Program Manager, Steve Mills, only collected quarterly samples from the
Upstream, Downstream, and Discharge points to be sent to Microbac Testing Laboratory for
testing only if he could collect samples from all three locations, but Mr. Mills was unable to
obtain the Upstream sample due to a closed bridge, so he did not collect samples during the
first half of 2018. Mr. Mills was taught this by the previous Program Manager, which is not
regulatory guidance according to NPDES Permit NCG020000 under Certificate of Coverage
MCG020279, which states that the stormwater discharge outfall (SDO) shall be tested
semiannually during a measurable storm event if the discharge characteristics remain in
operable limits.
Way Ahead — After meeting with Mr. Laywer and going over the NPDES Permit NCG020000
under Certificate of Coverage MCG020279, SP&S will conduct testing of the SDO semiannually,
maintain all testing records in an orderly manner, and ensure all reports are submitted on time to
the proper receiving agency. Of note, SP&S also reviewed, reorganized, revived their Water
Quality program as well as changed the Program Manager to Eric Hartman.
We would like to thank Mr. Lawyer for his guidance and assistance. If you have any
questions regarding our response, please contact Scott Bradsher, Vice President / Operations
Officer, or Eric Hartman, Assistant Operations Officer at 910-281-3189.
Sincerely,
Robert L. Bradsher

Inspection Oate: 08122/2018 Inspection Type : Compliance Evaluation Reason for Visit: Routine
Inspection Summary:
Facility's Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan contains ail permit -required components and there is documentation of an
annual review and update. Monitoring records for 2016 and 2017 were not available at the time of inspection, but were
provided by e-mail on August 29, 2018. Based on the monitoring records for 2016 and 2017, monitoring was not conducted
in the third quarter of 2016. Records for fourth quarter 2015 and first and second quarter 2016 were reviewed during the
previous inspection on July 26, 2016. Third quarter 2016 would have been the fourth quarterly sampling event for the first year
of coverage under the current permit. For 2017, monitoring was conducted in the first, third and fourth quarters. Monitoring
has thus far not been conducted in 2018 due to a misunderstanding of the permit conditions related to upstream and
downstream monitoring where the upstream and downstream sampling locations were reportedly inaccessible. Specific
monitoring requirements of the NCG020000 permit were reviewed and discussed during the inspection. Facility personnel
were informed that a Notice of Deficiency would be issued for failing to adhere to the monitoring requirements of the permit.
All available monitoring results are below the applicable effluent limitations contained in the permit. Therefore, the facility
may reduce their monitoring frequency from quarterly to semi-annually per Footnote 1 under Table 7 in the NCG020000
permit beginning with the second half of 2018.

Subject:
Confirmation for Renewal of DEMLR Stormwater NPDES General Permit
** Do not reply to this e-mail as it is from an unmonitored mailbox. **
Thanks for renewing your permit using our online option. No further action is necessary. The new General
Permit is available for printing from our website at http://portal.ncdenr.org/web/Ir/stormwater. If you have
questions, please contact Bethany Georgoulias at [e-mail] phone [phone] or
Bradley Bennett at [e-mail] phone [phone]. If you forgot to print your Certificate of
Coverage (COC), you can resubmit the data and print another copy.
This COC is issued pursuant to the requirements of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and the
memorandum of Agreement between the state of North Carolina and the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency, dated October 15, 2007 (or as subsequently amended.)
The General Permit authorizes discharges of stormwater/wastewater and specifies your obligations for
discharge controls, management, monitoring, reporting, and record keeping. Please review the new permit to
familiarize yourself with all of the changes. Parts V and V1 contain the Standard Conditions, including
Compliance and Liability; Reporting, Monitoring and Records requirements; Operation and Maintenance
obligations; and Definitions.
Your facility has six months from receipt of the COC to update its Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan
(SPPP) to comply with changes in SPPP requirements. Other changes are effective immediately. Please note
that Tier 3 Actions (if applicable) are triggered by four benchmark exceedances beginning on the effective

Dear Mr. Bradsher:
John E. Skvarla, III
Secretary
On April 11, 2014, a site inspection was conducted for the Drowning Creek Deposit Mine facility located off
US Highway 1 in Richmond County, North Carolina. A copy of the Compliance Inspection Report is enclosed
for your review. Mr. Bill Price, Plant Superintendent, was also present during the inspection and his time and
assistance is greatly appreciated. Permit coverage authorizes the discharge of stormwater and/or
wastewater from the facility to receiving waters designated as Drowning Creek, a Class WS-II;Sw,HQW
waterbody in the Lumber River Basin. The site visit and file review revealed that the subject facility is
covered by NPDES General Permit-NCG020000, Certificate of Coverage-NCG020279.
As a result of the inspection, the facility was found to be in compliance with the conditions of the NCG020000
permit. Please refer to the enclosed Compliance Inspection Report for additional comments and
observations made during the inspection.
Please be advised that violations of the NPDES General Permit are subject to a civil penalty
assessment of up to $25,000 per day for each violation. If you or your staff has any questions,
comments, or needs assistance with understanding any aspect of your permit, please contact me at (910)
433-3394 or by e-mail at mike. [e-mail].
Sincerely,

Permit: NCG020279 Owner - Facility: Southern Products & Silica Co
Inspection Date: 04/1112014 Inspection Type: Compliance Evaluation Reason for Visit: Routine
Inspection Summary:
Met with Bill Price, Plant Superintendent. Reviewed site's current Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP), which
was developed in 2011, The SWPPP contains all permit -required components with the exception of documentation of an
annual review/update and current list of significant spills over the previous three years or the notation that none have
occurred_ Site has no stormwater outfalls as all stormwater from the plant and surrounding areas enters the site's tailings
ponds where it is commingled with process wastewater. Monitoring records were not available for review at the time of
inspection, however copies of lab reports for the quarterly process wastewater monitoring were received by e-mail from
the site's consultant on 4/15/14 and by fax from Mr. Price on 4/16/14. Monitoring data needs to be entered on the
appropriate discharge monitoring report form for submission to the central and/or regional office.
An inspection regarding the site's mining permit (77-04) was also conducted. Mine was determined to be in compliance
with their Operating and Reclamation Conditions. No off -site damage was observed.

'All mines must monitor WW discharges for TSS. Only industrial sand mine discharges are subject to'TSS limits.
2 If an effluent limit is exceeded, the permittee is required to institute monthly monitoring for that parameter for the remaining permit term.
3 The discharge shall not cause an instantaneous measurement of the turbidity of the receiving water to exceed: 10 NTU for freshwater streams, lakes, and reservoirs
designated as trout waters; 25 NTU for all lakes and reservoirs, and all salt waters; 50 NTU for all other streams and surface waters. Turbidity may be monitored at the
Stormwater Discharge Outfall. Alternatively, the permittee may choose to monitor turbidity in the receiving water, directly upstream and downstream of the discharge.
4 Only facilities discharging to SA waters are required to monitor for Fecal coliforms.

Mr. Lawyer,
I was away in the field in Tyrell county last week and it was brought to my attention this morning that you needed
the water quality data for Southern Products Silica mine for 2011-2014. 1 will send 2 PDfs that contain the sampling data
results in 2 separate emails. If you have any questions or need any other information please let me know. Thank you' —
Bill Mullin.

STORMWATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN
FOR
SOUTHERN PRODUCTS AND SILICA COMPANY, tNC.
PLANT SITE
Hoffman, Richmond County, North Carolina
Introduction
The purpose of this Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan is to address the potential
sources of rainwater runoff contamination that may exist at the Southern Products and Silica
Mine (Southern Products) property located on US Highway I north of Hoffman, Richmond
County, North Carolina (NC). The Southern Products facility processes mined sand and gravel
products. These materials arc no longer mined onsite. Materials processed at the plant site
consist of previously mined onsite sand and gravel deposits and sand and gravel from offsite
deposits owned and operated by other entities. The Southern Product facility is composed of
11.5 acre plant site which is a portion of the total 367 acre property: the remaining property is
reclaimed mining areas, tailings ponds and undisturbed buffers. There are 6 tailings ponds,
Tyner Pond East, Tyner Pond West, Rosey, Mushroom, Rankin and Rankin West. The plant site
consists of 2 small office buildings, 3 elevators/washers, a roofed warehouse that also houses a
maintenance area for vehicles and equipment, a break -room trailer and a storage out -building
adjacent to the warehouse. Two oil sheds are located near the maintenance building. One shed
is a 40 x 8-foot enclosed steel cargo trailer. The other, smaller shed, is located on the west side
of the packing building and is an enclosed steel cargo box removed from a refrigeration truck
chassis. This Plan was written to the specifications contained in the North Carolina Division of
Water Quality's guide entitled: 2008 Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plans for Stormwater
Runoff at Industrial Activities.
Any industrial site holds some potential for stormwater pollution, especially large plant
sites with many acres of impervious surface (paved, roofed). Impervious acreage necessitates
stormwater channeling structures, treatment areas and other runoff management practices.
Southern Products is, however, somewhat atypical of many industrial enterprises that incorporate
similar sized -areas in their operations. The relative simplicity of operations, the soil types that
underlay the Plant Site and the lack of impervious surfaces make this enterprise appreciably
2

different from most heavy industries of comparable scale. These differences are described
below.
The Plant Site has little impervious surface. The only pavement on the property is a
parking lot (used as a packed -product staging area) of about one acre at the entrance to the Plant
Site. Additionally, roofed areas comprise only a small fraction of the Plant Site (10,059 square
feet). The Plant Site is located on Wakulla/Candor soils, which are characterized as "somewhat
excessively well -drained" and by having "rapid" and "rapid to moderate" permeability (Soil
Survey of Richmond County, NRCS 1999). In addition to its placement on these sandy
substrates, the Plant Site is surrounded by sand and gravel stockpiles. Also, incidental spillage
and dispersal of various grades of sand and gravel products over the years form a large
proportion of the ground surface (much of the pavement is covered with sand). The
abovementioned conditions combine to make the Plant Site particularly resistant to concentrated
stormwater runoff. With the exception of some more compacted areas in the major traffic
patterns on the Plant Site, surface conditions in this area are generally permeable. As such, the
Plant Site holds no channeled discharge structures, conveyances or containment areas that are
strictly dedicated to stormwater (apart from settling ponds, treated below).
Description of facility/operations
Most of the processing activity occurs on the 11.5-acre Plant Site. The operations at
Southern Products involve the use of water at various stages of processing for washing sand and
gravel products. There are a number of discharge points that contribute water to the
settling/tailings ponds. These sources are enumerated below:
1. Classifier: Water used to rinse and sort materials that have been previously stockpiled
from onsite mining and also for products brought to the facility from offsite sources is
discharged via a canal into settling/tailings ponds.
2. Gravel Washers: Two gravel washers near the central processing area discharge
wastewater via a canal into primary and secondary settling/tailings ponds (Tyner Ponds
West and East, respectively).
3. Sand Wet -Washer: A sand washer located within the central processing area discharges
wastewater via an underground 10-inch pipe into the gravel washwater canal.
3

4. Dust Abatement Filter Washout: A cartridge -filter dust abatement system is washed
periodically and the wastewater from this process joins the sand wet -washer's 10-inch
pipe to flow by gravity into the washwater canal that leads to the settling/tailings ponds.
5. Final Process and Bagging Area: The bagging or packaging area is housed in the large
warehouse building. The building is closed to outside elements and contains the baggers
and final packaging equipment that readies the materials for shipping.
Potential Pollution Sources
There are few potential pollution sources on the plant site. Processing operations involve
no chemicals or solutions and use only water to wash the raw materials. Those potential
pollution areas that do exist pertain to vehicle and equipment maintenance and fueling and are all
located in a small area adjacent to the processing/packing facility. These potential pollution
sources, and the associated materials inventory, include the following:
Oil Shed 1
• HD-46 hydraulic fluid, stored in 500-gallon tank.
• 40W, 10W, 90W —grade gear oils, stored in 5-gallon buckets with sealable tops.
• 15W-40 motor oil, stored in 5 and 1 gallon containers.
• Lubrication grease, stored in 35 pound kegs.
• "Purple Stuff", a biodegradable degreasing agent used in the maintenance building.
Maintenance Building
• Contains a parts washing facility and biodegradable
solvent ("Ozziejuice").
Maintenance Building
4

Fueling Area
Consists of 2 aboveground storage tanks for liquid
petroleum and diesel fuel:
• 30,000-gallon capacity liquid petroleum tank , . r_ : _ Fuel Area/Oil Sued t
• 2,000-gallon diesel tank (No. 2 off -road) housed in a concrete containment area N\ ith no
drain.
Waste Oil Recycling Tank
• One 500-gallon aboveground storage tank holding used oil for recycling.
Description of Storage Practices, Loading/Unloading of Materials
Fuels, hydraulic oil and other petroleum -based products are the only potentially polluting
materials that are stored at the Plant Site. All potentially pollutanting materials brought onto the
site are contained within drums, sealed buckets or within tank -trucks. Fuels and hydraulic oil are
transferred by way of direct couplings from the delivery truck to the respective storage tanks (the
fuels are transferred within a secondary containment structure; the hydraulic oil within Oil Shed
1). Drums of lubricants are delivered and stored in either Oil Shed 1 or 2. Drums are lifted from
the delivery truck on pallets with a forklift, placed in front of the oil shed, then "walked" into the
shed by 2 men. Most of the motor oil used on the Plant Site is unloaded in a similar manner, but
arrive in 5-gallon buckets, which are unloaded by hand.
List of Significant Spills During Last 3 Years
According to the General Manager, Mr. C. K. Smith, one spill has occurred within the
last 10 years. In November 2010, a valve on a diesel fuel tank was opened by vandals and 7,549
gallons of 42 diesel fuel were discharged. An immediate spill response was executed and the
spill was immediately contained and mitigated. All contaminated soils and materials were
removed from the site and disposed of at a licensed offsite facility. The NC Division of
Environment and Natural Resources (NCDENR) was contacted and agreed the spill had been
adequately remediated by December 2010.
In December 1999, S&ME, Inc., a testing and remediation firm based in Charlotte,

NC, performed a comprehensive sampling and analysis of the soils around the Plant Site after
more than 10 years of operation. Soil was tested at the sites of the waste oil tank, Oil Shed I (the
main oil storage area) and the maintenance building. The report states that "data from the soil
samples collected at the oil house, waste oil above ground storage tank and the maintenance
building do not indicate the presence of significant environmental impacts from petroleum
release". The report concluded that, "Based on the soil sample analytical data, an impact to
shallow groundwater does not appear to be probable". These findings bolster our belief that the
plant site is not contributing pollutants to surface waters.
Non-stormwater Certification
Since the plant site is a mining operation, it is exempt from non-stormwater discharge
prohibitions (Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plans for Stormwater Runoff at Industrial
Activities, North Carolina Division of Water Quality, Water Quality Section. Stormwater and
General Permits Unit, February 1994, reprinted November 1998, page 6). Investigation of the
Plant Site showed that there were no other discharges, other than raw surface water that is
pumped to wash mining materials. This water is directed into settling ponds before discharging
into the floodplain of Drowning Creek and the creek itself.
STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PLAN
Materials that may present the potential for stormwater pollution are stored in areas or
containcrs that minimize the possibility of stormwater coming into contact with these materials.
The oil sheds are entirely enclosed and weather -tight. Stormwater cannot enter the trailer
and thus cannot disperse residual oil or other petrochemical materials that might contaminate
stormwatcr runoff. The maintenance building is likewise entirely enclosed and protected from
elemental exposure.
The aboveground storage tank in the fueling area is for diesel No. 2 off road fuel oil
(2,000 gallons). The tank is impervious to weather and is surrounded by a concrete secondary
containment wall. The containment wall is approximately 4 feet high and 8 inches thick. This
structure's containment volume (approximately 2,300 gallons) exceeds the volume of the fuel
tank that is installed within it.
2

The waste oil tank is adjacent to the oil shed. It holds a maximum of 500 gallons of
waste oil until a recycling vendor picks it up for recycling off -site. The capacity threshold at
which an aboveground storage tank is required to have a secondary containment structure is 600
gallons. Thus the waste oil tank's maximum capacity of 500 gallons exempts it from secondary
containment requirements. A site visit during a rain event on 29 September 2003 revealed that
the site of the waste oil tank is slightly depressional and does not feed into stormwater discharge
patterns that run off the site.
Inspection Scheduling
Mr. Bill Price, Plant Manager, personally conducts visual inspections of the secondary
containment structures in regards to their continued integrity and condition. He conducts these
visual surveys on a monthly basis. Tanks are searched for leaks, concrete containment structures
are inspected for cracks and oil sheds are checked for leaks or breaches.
In addition, as described in the General Permit from the Department of Water Quality,
sand -mining operations are required to analytically monitor operational wastewater on a
quarterly basis. Dr. J.H. Carter III & Associates, Inc., provides this monitoring service to
Southern Products. Samples are gathered every 3 months and analyzed for pH, settleable solids,
total suspended solids and turbidity. Sampling points are located where the easternmost settling
pond discharges into the floodplain of Drowning Creek and within Drowning Creek itself.
Storm Event Observation
The site was visited during or after 2 storm events in preparation for the writing of this
Plan (these storm events were the snow/rain storms at the end of December 2010 and a smaller
sleet/rain storm in February 2011). Similar to earlier observations in 2003 and 2004 no
concentrated, high -volume runoff was observed. Two low -volume drainage patterns were
observed.
One of these runoff streams ("Runoff Pattern A" in Figure 2) drains part of the paved
staging area and an adjacent stockpile area where traffic patterns have compacted the surface.
The second runoff stream ("Runoff Pattern B" in Figure 2) drains the northern side of the
processing/packing area. The water running off the roofs of the bagging room/maintenance
building, as well as the compacted traffic areas around this area, passes over 100 feet of sand and

gravel spillage on the ground and passes directly through a large pile of gravel before emerging
from the other side and leaving the plant site. After leaving the site, both drainage patterns flow
north over more sand and gravel before emptying into the large tailings/settling pond (Tyner
Pond West) due north of the plant site. Here the stormwater runoff is diluted by water within
this approximately l 8-acre pond.
The southern side of the central processing area (the packing/maintenance/oil shed area),
by virtue of microtopography, does not contribute runoff waters to the 2 discharge patterns that
flow from the north side of the central processing area. This processing area is slightly raised
and blocks the southern side from immediate drainage. Stormwater can be observed standing
after a rain event for many hours before percolating into the gravel or evaporating. Given that
roughly one half of the potential pollution sources are stored in this non -draining area, is
beneficial that stormwater does not immediately run off. A spill it that coincides with a rain
event would not become an immediate runoff -pollution problem.
On 8 October 2004, stormwater runoff was collected during a rain event and sent for
analysis to Research & Analytical Laboratories, Inc. These samples were tested for
hydrocarbons such as diesel, gasoline, oil and grease. The results were that hydrocarbon levels
were found to be below EPA quantization limits (<0.05 milligrams per liter (mg/L). The General
Permit for stormwater and process wastewater discharges allows concentrations up to 30 mg/L.
Due to the nature of the enterprise, few alterations to the land surface at the site have
been done and few potentially polluting materials are used. Therefore, pollution sources and
venues by which pollutants can concentrate and transport off site are limited. "Phis being said,
there remain some potential sources of pollution. Their control and management are described
below.
SPILL PREVENTION AND RESPONSE PLAN
Areas that present the most likely potential for spill occurrences are the oil shed, the
maintenance building and to a lesser extent the fueling area. The fueling area is protected by
secondary containment and a spill there is not likely to come from the storage tanks, but from the
delivery truck that parks in front of the tanks. A spill in this area is nearest to Discharge Pattern
A, on the west side of the central processing area, and it is here that abatement efforts would be
most effective.
8

Response Team_
Southern Products has a Spill Response Team made up of 3 employees who are
intimately familiar with the premises and potential pollution sources. Mr. Bill Price, Plant
Manager, leads the team composed of Mr. Gary Duty and Mr. Ockuse Norton. All team
members are knowledgeable about the location and deployment of spill -abatement materials and
equipment kept onsite. Mr. Price is responsible for keeping records of equipment/site
inspections and for recording information on spills and clean-up activities.
Response Protocol
Clcan-up and safety equipment are located in the maintenance building. In the event of a
spill, the spill response team is notified and reports to the maintenance building to begin staging
spill response and abatement actions. The team leader reports directly to the spill site with the
person who witnessed or reported the spill. The team leader will assess the extent of the spill,
resolve a course of action and proceed to the maintenance building to brief the response team and
mobilize them for action.
Good Housekeeping
Southern Products acknowledges that potential spills can be best avoided by maintaining
good housekeeping practices that minimize the risk of accidents, collisions or other mishaps. A
series of operations policies have been adopted in order to keep risks at minimal levels.
Materials with pollution potential are not kept outside. Workers and delivery personnel
are not allowed to stage or stack newly delivered drums, barrels, buckets or pallets outside.
Newly delivered materials with pollution potential must be moved directly from delivery trucks
into storage buildings or oil sheds upon unloading. No materials are unloaded in traffic areas.
In addition, heavy equipment and vehicle operators are notified when delivery trucks will
be arriving and unloading potentially polluting materials. This also minimizes the likelihood of
collisions with delivery vehicles or unloading operations.
9

Employee Training
Southern Products holds an annual pollution prevention meeting for all of its employees
that work on the site. Additionally, all new employees are given a condensed version of this
seminar before they begin work. During this meeting personnel are informed or reminded of the
location of materials with pollution potential, as well as of the measures for responding to spills.
The locations of safety and response equipment are reiterated and any changes in equipment
locations are announced so that all personnel are aware of the current location of safety and
response equipment at all times.
Summary
In summary there are 5 sources of rainwater runoff from terrestrial surfaces on the plant
site into the settling ponds, which in turn discharge into the Drowning Creek floodplain. Three
of these are process wastewater sources the pipe from the central processing area that carries
wastewater from the sand washer, the dust abatement filter wash -out and the gravel washers (see
Figure 3). The last 2 points are stormwater runoff coming out of the plant site's central
processing area. All of these waters are subject to settling before discharging to the receiving
waters of Drowning Creek.
Provisions in the mining permit for Southern Products stipulate that tailings/settling
ponds must be reclaimed promptly after mining operations have moved to an adjacent tract. To
date, this has not been accomplished because leveling of the outermost freeboard dikes would
introduce high volumes of turbid process wastewater directly into the receiving waters of
Drowning Creek. Some of the internal dikes have been reclaimed and maintained at permitted
grades. Consultations with agency officials have produced agreement that reclamation of the
perimeter dike at this time would produce results contrary to the public interests of water quality.

would construct a rock check dam at the end of the existing drainage channel to facilitate
additional diffuse flow into the receiving pond. The design plan for the rock check dam
is attached.
The Hydraulics Unit has completed an assessment of the channel as constructed and
determined that existing velocities in the channel for the 2-year event are 1.4 feet -per -
second and are non -erosive for the 10-year storm event at 1.6 feet -per -second per the
requirements of the NCDOT Stormwater Best Management Practices Toolbox. The rock
check darn will further reduce velocities into the pond and attenuate flows.
In addition, the Hydraulics Unit has contacted the Division of Water quality and
determined that the proposed change will not require a permit modification and that the
discharge point meets the requirements of the Department's NPDES Stormwater Permit.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me at mslauffer&cdot.gov or 250-

Dear Mr. Smith:
Dee Freeman
Secretary
On December 7, 2010, I, Michael Lawyer from the Fayetteville Regional Office of the Division
of Water Quality, conducted a site inspection for the Southern Products & Silica Company, Inc.
facility located along US Highway 1 in Richmond County, North Carolina. A copy of the Compliance
Inspection Report is enclosed for your review. Mr. Bill Price, Plant Manager, and Dr. J. H. Carter, III
were also present during the inspection and their time and assistance is greatly appreciated. Permit
coverage authorizes the discharge of stormwater, mine dewatering wastewater and/or process
wastewater from the facility to receiving waters designated as Drowning Creek, a Class WS-I[;Sw,HQW
stream in the Lumber River Basin. The site visit and file review revealed that the subject facility is
covered by NPDES General Pernit-NCG020000, Certificate of Coverage-NCG020279.
Accordingly, the following observations were noted during the Division of Water Quality
inspection:

Inspection Summary:
Met with Mr. C. K. Smith, General Manager, Mr. Bill Price, Plant Manager, and Dr. J. H. Carter Ili (consultant). Reviewed
overall layout of facility and operational activities. A discussion was held regarding a ditch that has recently been
constructed leading from work on the widening of Highway 1 to the site's last tailings pond. There are concerns that
additional flow from this ditch could cause a re -suspension of any settled solids in the tailings pond and potentially lead to
exceedances of monitoring limits. Due to the layout of the site, there are no stormwater-only discharges as storm flows
enter the tailings ponds and commingle with process wastewater. Since there are no stormwater outfalls, monitoring
requirements under the stormwater conditions of the general permit are not applicable. Quarterly analytical monitoring
records for wastewater discharges from 2010 were available for review. An exceedance of the monthly average limit for
TSS was recorded during the January 2010 sampling. All subsequent sampling results were below applicable limits.
Observations of the site were made including the tailings ponds and discharge location as well as the new DOT ditch. A
request was made at the time of inspection to provide additional analytical monitoring records from previous years, which
were received on December 28, 2010.

Memorandum for the Record
Subject: Dike Failure at Southern Products and Silica Co., Inc. January 26, 2005.
All lake dikes are inspected daily by plant superintendent, William E. Price. Dikes
were inspected approximately 3:00 p.m. on January 25, 2005 by Mr. Price and no
defects were apparent. On January 26, 2005, however, Mr. Price discovered a break
in the dike'at-approximately 12:00 p.m. He estimated the break had been open 3-5
hours according to the distance between the original dike mud line and the lake level
at the time the break was discovered.
2. The break was immediately repaired with sand and gravel material as required by
permit.
3. It was Mr. Price's opinion that water in the root mat of a nearby tree caused the dike
to soften, resulting in a dike failure.

Alan W. Klimek, P.E., Director
Division of Water Quality
On January 26, 2005 around 11:30am our office received an anonymous call that Drowning Creek at the
Highway I Bridge appeared to be `gray and thick.' In responding to this call, the condition of the creek was
confirmed to be gray in color and thick with sediment. Pictures were taken at this location as well as a sample
to be tested for turbidity. Further investigation at two upstream locations of Drowning Creek, Thunder Road
Bridge and Hoffman Road Bridge, showed the creek to be normal in color and free from sediment. Pictures and
samples were also taken at these locations. Copies of the pictures taken and the results of the lab testing are
enclosed for your review. As you are aware a site visit was conducted by myself at the mining site of Southern
Products and Silica, which is located between the upstream locations and the Highway 1 Bridge- In my
discussions with you and [vlr. Bill Price, it was confirmed that a section of the dike around Rankin Pond had
blown -out causing a release of water and sediment into Drowning Creek.
Due to the accidental nature of the release and the subsequent response of your personnel to repair the dike, a
decision was made not to proceed with Enforcement or a Notice of Violation at this time- However, I would
like to direct your attention to Section E, Item 8 of your NCG020000 General Storrnwater Discharge Permit
which states in part: The permittee shall report to the central office or the appropriate regional office any
noncompliance which may endanger health or the environment. Any information shall be provided
orally within 24 hours from the time the permittee became aware of the circumstances. A written
submission shall also be provided within 5 days of the time the permittee becomes aware of the
circumstances. Based on this permit condition, you are asked to submit a written explanation of the event to be
received by this office on or before February 4, 2005. Included in your letter should be the date and time the
event occurred, the cause of the event and any and all repairs done.

STORMWATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN
FOR
SOUTHERN PRODUCTS AND SILICA COMPANY, INC.
._ PLANT SITE
Hoffman, Richmond County, North Carolina
Introduction
The purpose of this Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan is to address the potential
sources of rainwater runoff contamination that may exist on the property. This Plan was written
to the specifications contained in the North Carolina Division of Water Quality's guide entitled:
Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plans for Stormwater Runoff at Industrial Activities.
Any industrial site holds some potential for stormwater pollution, especially large plant
sites with many acres of impervious surface (paved, roofed). Impervious acreage necessitates
stormwater channeling structures, treatment areas and other runoff management practices.
Southern Products is, however, somewhat atypical of many industrial enterprises that incorporate
similar sized -areas in their operations. The relative simplicity of operations, the soil types that
underlay the Plant Site and the lack of impervious surfaces make this enterprise appreciably
different from most heavy industries of comparable scale. These differences are described
below.
The Plant Site has little impervious surface. The only pavement on the property is a
parking lot (used as a packed -product staging area) of about one acre at the entrance to the Plant
Site. Additionally, roofed areas comprise only a small fraction of the Plant Site (10,059 square
feet). The Plant Site is located on Wakulla1Candor soils, which are characterized as "somewhat
excessively well -drained", and by having "rapid" and "rapid to moderate" permeability (Soil
Survey of Richmond County, NRCS 1999). In addition to its placement on these sandy
substrates, the Plant Site is surrounded by sand and gravel product stockpiles. Also, incidental
spillage and dispersal over the years of these various grades of product sand and gravel form a
large proportion of the ground surface in the Plant Area (much of the pavement is, in fact,
covered with sand). The abovementioned conditions combine to make the Plant Site particularly
resistant to concentrated stormwater runoff. With the exception of some more compacted areas
2

in the major traffic patterns on the Plant Site, surface conditions in this area are generally
permeable. As such, the Plant Site holds no channeled discharge structures, conveyances or
containment areas that are strictly dedicated to stormwater (apart from settling ponds, treated
below).
Description of facility/o erations
Most of the processing activity occurs on an 1 1.5-acre Plant Site. The Plant Site consists
of 2 small office buildings, 3 elevator/washers, a roofed warehouse that also houses a
maintenance area for vehicles and equipment, a break -room trailer, and a storage out -building
adjacent to the warehouse. Two oil sheds are located near the maintenance building. One shed
is a 40 x 8-foot enclosed steel cargo trailer. The other, smaller shed, is located on the west side
of the packing building and is an enclosed steel cargo box removed from a refrigeration truck
chassis.
The operations at Southern Products involve the use of water at various stages of
processing for washing product sand and gravel. There are a number of discharge points that
contribute water to the settling/tailings ponds. These sources are enumerated below:
1. Classifier: Water used to wash extracted dredge slurry is discharged via canal into
settling/tailings ponds.
2. Gravel Washers: Two gravel washers near the central processing area discharge
wastewater via a canal into settling/tailings ponds.
3. Sand Wet -Washer: A sand washer located within the central processing area
discharges wastewater via underground 10-inch pipe to the gravel washer canal.
4. Dust Abatement Filter Washout: A cartridge -filter dust abatement system is washed
periodically and the wastewater from this process joins the sand wet -washer's 10-inch
pipe to flow by gravity into the canal that leads to the settling/tailings ponds.
Current extraction operations take place on the westernmost end of the property. A
dredge powered by a 760-horsepower diesel engine breaks up substrate and pumps it as slurry
through a 10-inch pipe to a classifier, a machine that washes and separates the slurry into raw

product classes for further processing. Groundwater that fills the mining pit is pumped to the
classifier and is used to wash the slurry. Wastewater from the classifier is pumped to a discharge
canal leading to a settling/tailings pond of about 45 acres. This pond also receives wastewater
via canal from the gravel washers on the cast side of the plant. The four easternmost ponds are
currently all isolated to maximize the settling of suspended solids in preparation for reclamation.
Potential pollution sources
There are few potential pollution sources on the Plant Site. Processing operations involve
no chemicals or solutions and use only water to wash the raw materials dredged from the mining
areas. Those potential pollution areas that do exist pertain to vehicle and equipment upkeep and
fueling and are all located in a small area adjacent to the processing/packing facility. These
potential pollution areas, and the current materials inventory of these areas, include the
following:
Oil Shed 1
• HD-46 Hydraulic Fluid, stored in 500-gallon tank
• 40W, 1 OW, 90W —grade gear oils, stored in 5-
gallon buckets with sealable tops
• 15W-40 motor oil, stored in 5-andl-gallon
containers
• Lubrication grease, stored in 35-lb. kegs
Oil Shed 2
• "Preven", a petroleum -based dust abatement compound
• "Purple Stuff', a biodegradable degreasing agent used in the maintenance building
Maintenance Building
• Contains a parts washing facility and biodegradable
solvent ("Ozziejuice")
4

Fueling Area
Consists of 2 aboveground storage tanks for gasoline and diesel fuels:
• 15,000-gallon capacity diesel tank
• 2,000-gallon gasoline tank
Waste Oil Recvclin2 Tank
• One 500-gallon aboveground storage tank
holding used oil for recycling.
Description of Storage Practices, Loading/Unloading of Materials
Fuels, hydraulic oil and other petroleum -based products are the only potentially polluting
materials that are stored at the Plant Site. All potential pollutant materials brought onto the Plant
Site are contained within drums, sealed buckets or within tank -trucks. Fuels and hydraulic oil
are transferred by way of direct couplings from the delivery truck to the respective storage tanks
(the fuels are transferred within their secondary containment structure, the hydraulic oil within
Oil Shed 1). Drums of lubricants are delivered and stored in either Oil Shed 1 or 2. Drums are
lifted from the delivery truck on pallets with a forklift, placed in front of the oil shed, then
"walked" into the shed by 2 men. Most of the motor oil used on the Plant Site is unloaded in a
similar manner, but arrives in 5-gallon buckets, which are unloaded by hand.
List of Significant Spills During Last 3 Years
According to the General Manager of the Site, Mr. C. K. Smith, no spills have occurred
within the last 3 years.
In December of 1999, S&ME, INC., a testing and remediation firm based in Charlotte,
N. C. performed a comprehensive sampling and analysis of the soils around the Plant Site. Soil
was tested at the sites of the waste oil tank, Oil Shed 1 (the main oil storage area) and the
maintenance building. The report states that "data from the soil samples collected at the oil
house, waste oil AST and the maintenance building do not indicate the presence of significant
environmental impacts from petroleum release". The report concluded that, "Based on the soil
5

sample analytical data, an impact to shallow groundwater does not appear to be probable".
These findings bolster our belief that the Plant Site is not contributing pollutants to surface
waters.
Non-stormwater Certification
As this Plant Site is a mining operation, it is exempt from non-stormwater discharge
prohibitions (Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plans for Stormwater Runoff at Industrial
Activities, North Carolina Division of Water Quality, Water Quality Section, Stormwater and
General Permits Unit, February 1994, reprinted November 1998, page 6). Investigation of the
PIant Site showed that there were no other discharge sources, other than raw surface water that is
pumped to wash mining dredge materials. This water is directed into settling ponds before
discharging to receiving waters.
STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PLAN
Materials that may present the potential of stormwater pollution are stored in areas or
containers that minimize the possibility of stormwater coming into contact with these materials.
The oil sheds are entirely enclosed and weather -tight. Stormwater cannot enter the trailer
and thus cannot carry off residual oil or other petrochemical materials that might contaminate
stormwater runoff. The maintenance building is likewise entirely enclosed and protected from
elemental exposure.
The 2 aboveground storage tanks in the fueling area are for diesel (15,000 gallons) and
gasoline (2,000 gallons). The tanks are impervious to weather and are surrounded by a concrete
secondary containment wall. The containment wall is approximately 3 feet high and 6 inches
thick. This structure's containment volume (18,843 gallons) exceeds the total combined volumes
of the 2 fuel tanks that are installed within it.
The waste oil tank is adjacent to the oil shed. It holds a maximum of 500 gallons of
waste oil until a recycling vendor picks it up for recycling off -site. The capacity threshold at
which an aboveground storage tank is required to have a secondary containment structure around
it is 600 gallons. The waste oil tank's maximum capacity of 500 gallons exempts it from
secondary containment requirements. A site visit during a rain event on 9/29/03 revealed that the

site of the waste oil tank is slightly depressional and does not feed into discharge patterns that
run off of the Plant Site.
Inspection Scheduling
Mr. Bill Price, Plant Manager, personally conducts visual inspections of the secondary
containment structures in regards to their continued integrity and condition. He conducts these
visual surveys on a monthly basis. Tanks are searched for leaks, concrete containment structures
are inspected for cracks and oil sheds are checked for leaks or breaches.
In addition, as described in the General Permit from the Department of Water Quality,
sand -mining operations are required to analytically monitor operational wastewater on a
quarterly basis. Dr. J.H. Carter III & Associates, Inc. provides this monitoring service to
Southern Products. Samples are gathered every 3 months and analyzed for pH, settleable solids,
total suspended solids and turbidity. Sampling points are located where the easternmost settling
pond discharges into the floodplain of Drowning Creek and within Drowning Creek itself.
Storm Event Observation
The site was visited during or after 2 storm events in preparation for the writing of this
Plan (these storm events were hurricane Isabelle and a smaller storm one week later). During
this observation concentrated, high -volume runoff was not observed. Two relatively low -volume
drainage patterns were observed.
One of these runoff streams ("Runoff Pattern A" in Figure 2) drains part of the paved
staging area and an adjacent stockpile area where traffic patterns have compacted the surface.
The second runoff stream ("Runoff Pattern B" in Figure 2) drains the northern side of the
processing/packing area. The water running off of the roofs of the packing room/maintenance
building, as well as the compacted traffic areas around this area, passes over 100 feet of sand and
gravel product spillage on the ground, and actually passes directly through a large pile of product
gravel before emerging from the other side and leaving the Plant Site. After leaving the Plant
Site, both drainage patterns flow north over more sand and gravel before falling into the large
7

tailings/settling pond due north of the Plant Site. Here the stormwater runoff is diluted by water
in this 18-acre pond.
The southern side of the central processing area (the packing/maintenance/oil shed area),
by virtue of the microtopography of the area, does not contribute runoff waters to the 2 discharge
patterns that flow from the north side of the central processing area. This processing area is in
fact raised to some degree and blocks the southern side from immediate drainage. Stormwater
can be observed standing after a rain event for many hours before permeating or evaporating, a
function of the slightly depressional aspect of this south -side area. Given that roughly half of the
potential pollution sources are stored in this non -draining area, it may be considered beneficial
that stormwaters are not inclined to run immediately off of the site from this area. A spill in this
area that coincides with a rain event would not become an immediate runoff -pollution problem.
On 8 October 2003, stormwater runoff was collected during a rain event and sent for
analysis by Research & Analytical Laboratories, Inc. These samples were tested for
hydrocarbons as diesel, gasoline, oil and grease. The results were that hydrocarbon levels were
found to be below EPA quantitation limits (<0.05 mg/L). The General Permit for stormwater
and process wastewater discharges allows concentrations up to 30 mg/L.
Due to the nature of the enterprise, relatively few improvements to the land surface at the
Plant Site have been affected and few potentially polluting materials are used. Therefore, there
are few pollution sources and few venues by which pollutants can concentrate and transport off
of the Plant Site. This being said, there remain some potential sources of pollution and their
control and management are described below.
SPILL PREVENTION AND RESPONSE PLAN
Areas that present the most likely potential for spill occurrences are the fueling area, oil
sheds and the maintenance building. The fueling area is protected by secondary containment,
and a spill there is not likely to come from the storage tanks, but from the delivery truck that
parks in front of the tanks. A spill in this area is nearest to Discharge Pattern A, on the west side
of the central processing area, and it is here that abatement efforts would be most effective.
Other potential spill areas are at the oil sheds or the maintenance building. These areas
are all also closest to Discharge Pattern A, although the maintenance building and oil shed 1 are
H

actually on the southern side of the central processing area in the somewhat depressional area
that does not contribute directly to stormwater runoff.
Response Team
Southern Products has a Spill Response Team made up of 4 employees who are
intimately familiar with the premises and potential pollution sources. Mr. Bill Price, Plant
Manager, leads the team composed of Mr. Gary Duty, Mr. Jose Garcia and Mr. Ockuse Norton.
All team members are knowledgeable about the location and deployment of spill -abatement
materials and equipment kept on the Plant Site. Bill Price is responsible for keeping records of
control structures inspections and for recording infonnation on spills and clean-up activities.
Response Protocol
A compliment of spill abatement, clean up and safety equipment is located in the
maintenance building. In the event of a spill, the spill response team is notified and reports to the
maintenance building to begin staging spill response and abatement actions. The team leader is
to report directly to the spill site with the person who witnessed or reports the spill. The team
leader will assess the extent of the spill, resolve a course of action, and proceed to the
maintenance building to brief the response team and mobilize them for responsive action.
Good HousekeMin
Southern Products acknowledges the fact that potential spill areas can be kept free of
actual spills by maintaining good housekeeping practices that minimize the risk of accidents,
collisions or other mishaps. A series of operations policies have been adopted to see that risks
are kept at minimal levels.
Potentially polluting materials are not kept outside. Workers and delivery personnel are
not allowed to stage or stack newly delivered drums, barrels, buckets or pallets outside. Newly
delivered materials must be moved directly from delivery trucks into storage buildings or oil
sheds immediately upon unloading. No materials are kept in traffic areas. This minimizes the
WE

risk that a vehicle operator, perhaps unaware that unloading is occurring, might drive into
stacked or staged materials while driving vehicles on normal operation routes.
In addition, heavy equipment and vehicle operators are notified whenever delivery trucks
will be arriving and unloading potentially polluting materials. This also can help to ensure that
collisions with delivery vehicles or unloading operations are unlikely.
Employee_ Training
Southern Products holds an annual pollution prevention meeting for all of its employees
that work on the Plant Site. Additionally, all new employees are given a condensed version of
this seminar before they begin work at the plant. During this meeting personnel are informed or
reminded of the location of potentially polluting materials, as well as of the measures for
responding to spills. The locations of safety and response equipment are reiterated and any
changes in equipment locations are announced so that all personnel are aware of the current
location of safety and response equipment at all times.
Summary
In summary there are 5 sources of water discharge from terrestrial surfaces on the Plant
Site into the settling ponds, which in turn discharge into the Drowning Creek floodplain. Three
of these are process wastewater sources. These are the Classifier site, the pipe from the central
processing Plant Site that carries wastewater from both the sand washer and the dust abatement
filter wash -out and the gravel washers (see Figure 3). The last 2 discharge sources are
stormwater runoff patterns coming out of the Plant Site's central processing area. All of these
waters are subject to settling before discharging to the receiving waters of Drowning Creek.
Provisions in the Mining Permit for Southern Products stipulate that tailings/settling
ponds be reclaimed promptly after mining operations have moved to an adjacent tract. To date,
this has not been accomplished because leveling of the freeboard dikes would introduce high
volumes of turbid process wastewater directly into the receiving waters of Drowning Creek.
Consultations with agency officials have produced agreement that reclamation at this time would
produce results contrary to the public interests of water quality. It was decided that time would

SUBJECT: Breach of Containment Dike
Tyner Pond (Northernmost Pond)
Southern Products and Silica,
Drowning Creek Mine
Richmond County
Dear Mr. Smith:
On or about November 8, 1993, Mr. Steve Cook of the Fayetteville Regional
Office of the Division of Land Resources contacted the staff of our Water
Quality Section concerning a breach of the subject containment dike. Our
original opinion opposing the breach was based on the assumption that the
Tyner Pond was physically connected to the plant's washwater settling pond via
an open channel. In your November 9 telephone conversation with Mr. Ken
Averitte of the Fayetteville Water Quality staff, you indicated that this open
water connection no longer existed, having been filled approximately two years
prior. This was confirmed during a site visit by Mr. Averitte on November 10,
1993, when he met with yourself and the mine superintendent, Mr. Bill Price.
In accordance with requirements of the DLR, Land Quality Section, the
area around what we now designate as the Tyner Pond has been regraded and is
to be planted as part of the reclamation process. The breach in question was
installed in order to aid in the transfer of water to and from the adjacent
swamp without damage to the newly reshaped remnant of the dike. Since it is
now segregated from all other aspects of this operation, this section of the
property can be treated as any other pond excavation which could normally
require such an outlet. This opening should be of significant benefit inthe
shoreline planting soon to begin.

However, as Mr. Averitte pointed out, this latest opinion is based on the
fact that the Tyner Pond is completely isolated from any other surface waters
which remain as part of the Southern Products and Silica, Inc. mining or
washing operation. Should process or pit water from that facility be
discharged into Tyner Pond for any reason, this would be treated as a
discharge of wastewater to surface waters of the State and therefore subject
the Company to significant liability. We cannot overemphasize the importance
of ensuring the integrity of the dike separating Tyner Pond from the balance
of the operation. Should you at any time wish to alter or remove this dike, we
strongly recommend that you provide advance notice to this office, as well as
the Division of Land Resources, Land Quality Section.
If you have questions concerning this matter, or if this office can be of
assistance, please contact Mr. Michael wicker, Water Quality Regional
Supervisor, or Mr. Ken Averitte at [phone].

Kerr T. Stevens

Staff Report and Recommendation
Page 2
PART II - DESCRIPTION OF EXISTING TREATMENT WORKS
1. Type of wastewater: Wastewater is generated as a result of a sand and
gravel dredging operation. Sand is graded and
separated using the water pumped in by the dredge.
2. Type Treatment: Settling of suspended sands and silts takes place as the
plant water is returned to the pit in which the dredge
operates. This process is unchanged from the operation
as it existed when permitted in 1982. The lagoon
increases in size at the rate of approximately 2
acre/year and is still within the 67 acre size as
permitted.
No evidence of any discharge was found. The dike
surrounding the perimeter of the lagoon appears to be
stable and in good repair.
PART III - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATION
It is the recommendation of this office that Permit No.
6173-R be reissued to Southern Products and Silica, Inc. for an additional
five year period.

PART III - OTHER PERTINENT INFORMATION
1. The existence of this facility was originally brought to the attention
of the Fayetteville Regional Office by way of a complaint that muddy
water was getting into Drowning Creek. Additional concern was raised
when It was decided to designate Drowning Creek Class "A-II"waters for
use as a source of drinking water supply for Moore County..
The majority of the time this facility did not dhcharge turbid water
until wet weather when lows portions of the dike allowed overflown to
leave the site. Th3e- tow portions were raised and application was made.
to permit the facility with a non -discharge permit.
Permit No. 6173 was issued to Southern Products & Silica Co. on September
23,1980 for'the construction and operation of a 26 acre holding lagoon.
with no discharge to surface waters of'the.state.
2. .Engineers for the project. Bethea Engineering', Inc., have submitted, on
behalf of Southern Products & Silica, a proposal for the enlargement of
the existing 26 acre facility to a total of approximately 67 acres�,;2 This
will include two new dredging areas, one approximately 26 acreain size,
and one approximately 15 acres. The dikes will be constructed in the same
manner as the original lagoon, with the surrounding dike being a minimum
of 1.78 ft. &bout the 25 year, 24 hour flood stage. These lagoons will be
A minimum of 300 feet from Drowning Creek.
3. In the.last 10 years that this.company has,been.operating at this site,
which is located in wetlands adjacent to Drowning Creek, they have been
progressively removing (by dredging) desireable sands and gravels
located underneath approximately five feet of overburden. These sand and
gravel deposits are approximately ten feet deep and overburden is placed
back into -dredged out areas (as well as utilized for dike construction)
giving an approximate depth of ten feet in the pond. This pond is
essentially a hole in the ground with a low dike around it. This dike was
(in the past) primarily used to provide.vehicle access. This type of
operation has progressively enlarged the pond to its current 26 acre size.
4. The Army Corps of Engineers has authorized this discharge (which consists
of the dike formation) of dredged materials into wetlands bordering
Drowning Creek. This authorization was granted in Corps Permit No.
SAWCO81-N-077-000252, dated October 30, 1981.. This Permit was required
due to the proposed expansion.
5. Due to the.location of the site in the wetlands, the water level in the
pond is influenced by the water level In Drowning Creek. This is
particularly true when considering the sand and gravel deposits which
underlie the wetlands.and provide a path cP relatively low resistance for
groundwater. It is for this reason that the pond can exist as a non -
discharge facility with only a 3 to.4 foot high dike surrounding it.

As long as•the dike is high enough to keep the pond separated from the
creek when the creek is'at the-25 year flood level, there should be,no;
discharge.As'the creek -rises, the level in the lagoon Mill rise -also
(due.to interconnection by way of.sand and gravel veins).so that there
will be little concern for blowing out the dike wall. Also, the dike
wall itself consists of material containing large percentages of -sand and
gravel which should help act as a filtering dedia should the water level
in, -the dike seep through the dike wall.
PART IT-- REC"ENDATION-
It is the recommendation of this office that Permit No. 6173, originally
issued'in September 1988 to Southern,Products and Silica Company, Inc., be
revised to reflect the previously mentloned changes•and reissued for the
operation of a 67 acre non -discharge facility to serve Southern Products
..and Silica.`

solved, should this be necessary, prior to the issuance of a permit. The submitted
project documents will be reviewed with respect to the proposed wastewater facilities
and does not commit this Division to approving any expansion of these treatment facili-
ties or increase flows from such facilities at any future time.
If any of the items listed below are checked, with the exception of recommendations

4�Attachment to acknowledgement letter to Mr. Marshall B. Gilchrist dated March 25, 1982.
The following items must be resolved or explained before a nondischargepermit
can be issued;
1. Permit No. 6173 currently in effect allows a 26 acre lagoon for your
Company's operations. How large will the lagoon be for the proposed
new operation?
2. We may reissue the existing permit with new requirements, revisions, or
amendments if possible rather than generate a new permit for the same
site.
3. In reviewing the Engineering Report furnished, there appears to be a
strong probability that thy? facility will regularly discharge through
the permeable dikes. If this is the case, you will need a NPDES Discharge
Permit. If your operations will not make any surface or direct pipe,
trench, etc., discharges to the surface waters of the State (such as is
currently done), you can continue to be covered by a nondischarge State
Permit.
4. Please -provide an explanation of the. average 215.1 R 106 GPD waste flow
shown on the permit application. Provide calculations.
5. What State and Federal Permits already are in effect or have been applied
for this site? Corps of Engineers, 401, etc.
6. When the hydraulic mining operations are completed, what are the plans for
the property?

SUBJECT:, 401 ' Certi fi cation ,
Southern4Products and Silica Compa4. Inc,
Proposed Metland Fill
' .. 1#offtan. Richmond County
As -requested, subject document has been reviewed by the Water Quality
Section of the: -Fayetteville Regional ..Office:. This review was conducted.
concerning the proposal by Southern Products and Silica Company. Inc. to place
dredged material onto the wetlands of Drowning Creek. which it -this point.is
classified class."A-II" asters In -the lumber River'Basin.
.-Specifically.-the proposal concerns the removal of .sand and .gravel cleft
posits that are located in wetlands -just upstream from the E.S. Hwy 1 Bridge
over Drowning `Creek near Hoffman,' Richmond County.
t For the past 10 years, Southern Products has been conducting hydraulic
. dredge mining in this -area until, recently. when the operation came -to the
attention_ of the Army, Corps of Engineers.:On July 23, 1980 the Carps advised .
Southern -Products- that before any additional wetland could bd 'disturbed, a
1.. dredge and',fi11.' permit would have to' be obtained. At that `time a decision
was made,to continue mining the previously disturbed area which consists' -of
an'approximate)y 26 acne lake (surrounded by a--dike).but-not to.expand the .
:.operation. Since -Southern Products has decided to ance again actively mine
undistrubed wetlands, a dredge acid f I I I perm t has =become necessary.
It is "estimated.. that the unminad area,-, (consisting 'of a total of
Y-, appr6ximately-.32 acres) will -take approximately 9 years.to mine since that .
is.when'the`lease runs out. It is estimated that a'total of 85,00Q'cubic,
yards;of.material mill•be disturbed. —Of this total, approximately 77,500
cubic yar4ds is expected to be.useabte sand and .gravel with.the remaining
10,500•cubic yards being• unuseable over burden.
t
The 'wastewater generated from dredging. and washing_oi• the. sand and. •
` °' gravel 'is .directed -back into the existing 26 acre- lake 'and,reused with no'
W discharge to surface craters of the State. This non discharge facIffty-is
parmi tted. under Permit No. 6173,. whi ch was ,issued September 23, 1980 'and •i s
in -,effect 'until "recind6d.

-The proposed mining method is to construct,a-nets,dikn parallel to. and,
approximately. 40 :ft. ,from the existing dike; remove -vegetation,, ,,excavate,-
overburden" (approximately 4 feet) by�dragline and deptis.lt the overburden; ~`..
in.,the exis.ting'lake. The existing -dike is then - removed and the dredge
brought in. -to.remove the useable 'sand and .gravel vein'- which is .approximately
25. feet thick., This "procedure. i s - _to: be repeated'. until the- entire. area has
been mined •
By increasinq.the mining `area,�the. size'of-the' lake is increased .which
means that the; settling -area for. the recycle,water is increased. -•For this -
reason, Permit N0.';8173`will have to be modified to -'reflect the Increased
acreage. of the settling.pond.• This modification: to the Permit wo,uld..have -to.
tttke place before any additional ' "etl ands' 'are disturbed. 9
Southern Products has also iridi'cated that once mining has been completed,
the'tirater contained in the lake-wi11: be allowed to settle, and then. -the dike'
breached .to,aIlow the.`clarlf#ed.water to escape, :Prior .to doing this.'an'

SUBJECT: Application for 401 Certification
Proposed Wetland Fill
Richmond County
Dear Mr. Smith:
Our Office has reviewed your application to the U. S. Army Corps of
Engineers for Federal Permits to conduct a sand and gravel mining operation..
Since the proposed project will involve the.discharge (placeinert) of
dredged material onto a wetlands area adjacent to Drowning Creek, a Water
Quality Certification will be required from this Agency in accordance with
Sections 401 and 404, Public Laws 92-500 and 95-217. Sections 401 and.404
require any applicant for a Federal Permit to conduct any activity which may
result in a discharge to navigable waters or adjacent wetlands to obtain
certification from the North Carolina Division of Environmental Management
that the discharge will not violate applicable Water Quality Standards.
Certification is required before the Federal Permit may be issued.
In accordance with an agreement with the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers,
applications submitted for Federal Permits will be considered.as=formal
applications for Water Quality Certification. For this reason, your application
.is presently being processed by our staff and a public notice of the application
will be issued in the near future. The public notice will be published one time
in a newspaper having general circulation in the county in which the project is
located. A thirty -day public comment period follows the publishing of the legal
notice. Our Agency cannot take final action concerning your application until
after the close of the public comment period.
If you have any questions regarding this matter, do not hesitate to con-

PUBLIC NOTICE
NORTH CAROLINA
RICHMOND COUNTY
APPLICATION FOR
401 CERTIFICATION
TAKE NOTICE that Southern Products and Silica Company, Incorporated,
P.O. Drawer 189, Hoffman, North Carolina 28347 has made application to
the North Carolina Division of Environmental Management for certification
that the discharge of dredged material onto the adjacent wetlands of
Drowning Creek will not violate applicable Water Quality Standards.
The applicant proposes to continue a sand and gravel.mining operation
located on the edge of Drowning Creek Swamp. The washing and sorting operation
takes place on high ground adjoining a lake created by past mining while the
actual excavation takes place in the bordering wetlands. During the mining
operation, temporary dikes are constructed in the swamp to serve as a work
platform to protect the mine site from floodwaters and to prevent the discharge
of mine process water into Drowning Creek. Ultimately the mining operation
will involve the excavation of approximately 88,000 cubic yards, of which
approximately 77,500 cubic yards is expected to be usable sand and gravel.
The remainder, primarily overburden, will be disposed of within the mined
out area. The current mine plan and lease agreement requires mining of 32
acres of -wetlands over the next nine years. A Section 401 Water Quality
Certification was not requested for at the initial time of the mining
operation start-up.
Additional information concerning this project may be'.reviewed at
the offices of Environmental Operations Section, Division of Environmental
Management, 512 North 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 Division of Environmental Management proposes to take final action
in the issuance of the certification on or after the 19th day of

a Denrrtnsnt of . the Army permit TO DISCHARGE DREDGED MATERIALS INTO WETLANDS BORDERING DROWNING CREEK NEAR
HOFFVAN, RICHMOND COUNTY, tV'ORTH CAROLINA.
The following description of the proposed work Is taken from data submitted by the applicant and from
o:servatlons made during an onsite visit by a representative of the Corps of Engineers. Plans submitted with
the application show a sand and gavel mining operation located on the edge of Drowning Creek Swamp. The washing
and sorting operation takes place on high ground adjoining a lake created by past mining while tha actual
excavation takes place In,the bcrdering wetlands: During the mining operation, temporary dikes are constructed
In tha swamp to serve as a work platform to protect the mine site from floodwaters and to prevent the discharge
of mine p-ocess water Into Drowning Creek. Ultimately the mining operation wlII Involve the excavation of
approximately 88,000pp cubic yards, of which approximately 77,500 cubic yards Is expected to be usable sand and

description provided by the applicant outlining their operation and giving soms detali of their mining procedure
and tha valua and scarcity of the deposit they seek.
Sovthe;'n Products & Silica Company, inc., is a surface m{ntng operation located next to Drowning Crook Jn
Richmond' County, North Carolina. Material. is dredged from an area that was once, a creak bed. The creek
presently Ices approximately 3,000 feet north of, the mining operation. .The cgmpany has been dredging the area
mina (9h y er_i_a.rLd_.has- pr_oduced a twenty-three (23) acre lake. A dike has been constructed around the Iznke
to ccn'tain turbid water. The dike also serves as sa vice road to the dredge and as a platform from which a
dragl ina can -rerrovs approximately fo '(4 —f, 7ot_:of overburden} prlrr to dredging. Overburden and 'lino matLy-ial
ganerated from dredging are returned to the lake. The combination of this material has in rrnny areas returned
th4 lake bottom to its original Tound level prior to mining and vegetation has begun to revert to Its original
stzte+.
The'Drowning Creak daposlt provides a hard, unweathered civartzite material lying below watcr. The water- has
naturally washed the material free of Iron and prevented weathering which would have occurred at higher, more
exposed elevations.
Southern Products & Si I Ica has n{ng(`._)_v,ears remaining on lts roser.# lease which eel 11 a1 hog+ the mining of�
apoxlma#old thirty-txo (32) add Et[onat acsos. The area desired fie he mined is covered with overburden varying
in dapth i; ern two (2) to four (4) feet. Overburden consists of vegstatlon and some timber which Is di"ficult to
romove. Removed overburden is simply transterrecl to within sixty (60)` feat of its original location, being
deposited in a dredged --out area. This procedure necassarlly reduces the depth of -the lake fcr'med during
dredging. As ment!oned earlier, fine material returned to the la'Xe (which also servos as a closed circuit
sailing pond) In commbination with redepositod overburden, have In sor.!!� places caused thy lake bottom to brsiid up

much of the previously mined area where settling of fine material and placement of overburden have raised the
lake bottom to water level a' above. Future breaching of the dike w! El accelerate this process by lower €ng the
water level. Trr rr,,,ar- -S� ftc,
F
Although twenty-three (23) acres has been mined, Southern Products E Sl l Ica estimates that u Kira the3 f
exi,ting dike only thirteen (13) acres of lake will remain. since lowering the rater level will expose 7o r

Southern Products d Silica Company, Inc., believes that the gc=ratest single beneficiary of Its filter material
products is the general public cr taxpayer. Almost 100% of all filter material ps-ocessed by the company is
utilized in the public sector; various city, county, state and Federal government entities utilize the company's
filter- material products In their potable water and waste treatment filtration systems. •Filter material mined
from the Drowning Creek site offers a unique and significantly cost-beneflclal public benefit in that the
material Is of the highest, most desirables and preferred quality for water fIItrntlon systems; -preferred because
the material, through the natural washing occurring �in an al l_uvia_l deposit is elat 1y iron_-ae, not
requiring add Itona son removal processing costs ultimately to be barns by the taxpayer; preferred because the
material removed is characteristically harder and therefore less likely to spell and clog a filter than nrre
weathered, softer LMater Jai mined nearer the surface; preferred because the natural ly washed rooter Jai is ire
rounded, providing a rare desirable filtering quality than mare angular cr flat shaped material. finally, one of
tho host significant public benefits occurs in.tho area of freight expense. Characteristically, the cost of
shipping filter material over great distances can and Inevitably results in being greater than the cost of the
material itself. Should the company be prevented fran mining, the majority of local state and regional
governmental customers would be obliged to seek a mere distant supplier of less desirable filter media, resulting
In higher freight costs being ultimately passed along to the taxpayer. Indeed, it cannot be overemphasized from
the freight standpoint that Southern Products d Silica Is the only producer of high quality water flltkN• material
In the State of North Carolina. As the company's prices for filter material are quite competitive, mretary
savings In freight costs far all governmental customers in North Carolina alone can be substantial. Finally,
other- governmental customers throughout the United States and the world derive the benefit of high quality filter
material. Southern Products E Silica provides filter material for government and industry stretching from Canada
to FicrIda, and from California to the East Coast. Recent export shipments have been delivered In Mexico,
Israel, and the Panama Canal Zone. The company's f l Eter media products are vary much In demand because of their
unique qualities.
{� The company's continued survival Is of direct public benefIt'in another very real way: It provides a live[IhooT)
,10F�. fa' approximately twenty-four (24) employees, many of whom reside in Anson County, one of North Carolina's .
poorest counties based on annual per capita Income.
In summary, there are many reasons the company believes a permit should be granted. First, there are no other
knoun•natural, alluvial deposits which provide hard, rounded, Iron -free material of the high quality most desired
by its filter material customers; the desirability of being able to provide this material to governmental
customers and public benefit derlvcd was examined above. Second, Southern Products d Silicz currently mines the
only deposit In the State of North Carolina containing the material most desired by governmental custcNners;
denial of a permit would farce many governmental customers to seek alternative, (and most likely Inferior)
sources of supply at more distant locations, a situation r—cessarily resulting In higher freight costs to be
absorbed by taxpayers supporting these customers. Third, Tnd company's very survival as a business depends upon
maintaining its market as a produce of specialty flltor material products; denial of a permit will Inevitably
result in business failure.-

Toe following description of minimum procedures refers to the attached plans for greater clarlflcation.
Sheet I: Provides a detailed, close-up view of the areas to be mined (Area A and Arc» 8) and depicts these areas
In relnt€on to,the previously mined area (Area C, the oxi'sting lake), Area D, a settlement area, the plant, a
smalt section of Drowning Creek, and an adjacent field.
Sheet 2: Provides a cross section of the mine c'ea.
Shoat 3: Provides a detai led overview of a single mine str ip.
Sheet 4: Provides an enlarged, surveyed overv.lew of how the area in Sheet I Is situated geographically In
relation to Drowning Creek and surrounding lands.
Refer to Sheet 1: Areas A and 6 remain to be mined over the period of approximately nine (9) years remaining on
the lease. Each strip In Area A will be approximately 6001 in length, in Area B approximately 1300r. In both
areas, each stip will be 401 in width and will require six (6) months to mine in Area A, one (1) year In Area B.
The depth of each layer In a strip In both areas Is depicted In the cross section of the mine area (Sheet 2).
Many variables render It impractical to submit a credible mine advance plan; variables affecting mine adv-cnce
include weather conditions, economic demand fcr products, manpower availability, and quality and volume of usable
material recovered from each area. Considering these variables, maximum flexibility In mining either area at
random times at vtrylnq rates of speed is requlred. It is emphasized that the controlling factor in mining both
areas Is expiration of the lease which will occur in approximately nine (9) years.
ry 3a A. contaIris _approximately sevente;n { 1.7) acrc yof unmined land, f+i r's, B apprpximat.c+ly, fifteen (15) rcrtis. '
Approximately nine (9) strips wi ! I be mined In Area B, approximately twenty strips in Area A.
Area D, the area depicted as filled by settle",oit of solids, Is the area Into which the water discharge pipe
carrying turbid water from the plant site, empties. Heavier material is natural Iy settled out closer to the lake
shore with finer material being deposited further out.
Area C is the lake formed from previously dredged strips.
Refer to Sheet 3:
1. Standing timber and underbrush are removed from the designated 40' strip to be mined (Area C) by manual labor
utilizing chain saws and bush axes. Access to the area (Area C) Is provided by the existing road (dike) cr
(Area B).
2. A new road (Area D) Is then constructed next to the nearly formed treel ine at 'the cdge of Area E, the unmined
area, utilizing fill material from the plant site. This new road (Ares, D) wi11 serve as the new dike and Impound
the lake water once the existing road is drudged out. This dike In conjunction with the permanent dike (Aroa F)
and high ground areas Isolates the mine area and allows fine material to settle out of tha turbid lake water.
This new road (dike) cr (Area D) also replaces the existing road (Area B) as a service road for mine vehicles
sere Ic ing -:-he dredge and pipet 1 no.
3. Utl I [zing the existing road (Area B) as a platform, a dragl Ins removes approximately 2 •- 4 test of ovst-burden
from the cleared 40' strip (Area C) and 'transfers this material to the opposite side of the existing road (Area
B) into the lake (Area A). This material fills In the previously c:rodged strip and servos to raise the boi-tom of
that strip ta:rard laka level. In addition, tho dragl Ins simultaneously removes the existing road (Aroa 7) as It
moves along and transfers this material also to the lake bottom in the previously mined strip.

After completing its work on the strip, the dragline returns to the beginning of the strip via the permanent rc d
(dike) or (Area E) - and the new road (dike) cr (Area 0).
4. As water has filled the 401 strip (Area C) where the dragline removed the overburden and part of the existing
road (Area B), a dredge, sweeping laterally from side to side across the 401.strip (Area C), breaks up th-:; bottom
with a cutter head. As It follows a pathway (G) down the strip, the loosened sand and gavel are pumped in a
slurry through a pipeilno mounted on pontoons on the lake surfaeo to the plant site fcr separating, screening,
and washing. Turbid water separated from usable material Is returned to the Impounded take through the water
discharge pipe coming from the main plant.
The State of Forth Carolina will review -thls public notice to determine the need for the applicant to obtain
any required Stato authorization. No Department of the Army permit will be issued until the coordinated State
viewpoint on the proposal has bean received and reviewed by this agency, nor wilt a Department of the A; -my
permit be Issued until the N.C. Office of Environmental Management has determined the applicablllty of a Water
Quality Certificate as required by PL 92-500.
The District Engineer has made a prol Iminary determination that an Environmental Impact Statement undo
Section t02(2)(c) of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 is not required. This determination rill
be reviewed considering facts submitted In response to this public notice.
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 tho oommant 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 Englnew has consulted tho latest published version of the National Register of Historic Places
for the prvsenco cr absence of registered properties, or propertles listed as being el iglbla fc- inclusion
therein, and this wcrksite is not included as registered property or property listed as being eligible for
Inclusion in the Register. Consultation of the National Register constitutes the extent of cultural resoirca
Invostlgatlons by the District Englneer, and he Is otherwise unaware of the presence of such resources.
Presently unknown archaeological, scientific, prehistcrical, or historical data may be lost cr destroyed by work
to be accomplished under the requested permit.
The District Engineer has determined, based on a review of data furnished by the applicant and onsite
observations,' that the proposed activity will nat affect species, or their critical habitat, designated as

1.
The existence'of this facility was originally brought -to -the attention
of the -Fayetteville Regional -Office hy-way of a.cdwlaint that muddy'
water was getting into Drowning -Creek. Additional concern was•raised'
when it was 'decided to designate Drowning Creek Class."A-II" watere
for use .as a " source cif. - drinking water .supply for Moore County. -
The majority of the time this facility did not discharge turbid water
J
until. -wet weather•when..low.'portions of the dike allowed overflow
to,.leave-the site:•"Theme low portions were raised and application
has been [wade to permit ,the facility .kith a .non -discharge permit.
2.
In the last S to 101years that this company. has been operating at this
site, which is•l'ocate:d„in wetlands adjacent to Drowning Crebk,'th�y
have been progressively removing (by dredging). desireable sands and
- -
gravels located underneath.approrimately five feet of overburden.
These sand and ,gravel daposito are approximately teen feet deep 'and
'
overburden is placed beak into dredged out area*' -(as well as.-
itilized for. dike"construction)'giviny an approximate depth of tan
feet ",the pond. This pond is essentially'a.hole in the ground
withlow diko'.around it. This dike was (in the past) primarilly
.,a
used' to -provide vehicle access. This` type' of operation has' • �. -
,.,
progressively enlarged the pond to its -current 26 acre sire.
j.
The Army Corps of Eninears was made aware of this facility. and in.
a -meeting of July 23, 1980 with Corps personnel,-14k. Gilchrist and
Mr. _ Noland,' the status of the facility, was discussed as regards
dredge and fill (404) permits. Mr. G. Wayne Wright, Assistant
✓
Chief, Regulatory Functions Branch; U.S. Army.'Engineer District,,
Wilmington, indicated that additional mining of the wetlands would-
,-
require a 404 permit. 'i4r. Wright went on to say that the probability
of obtaining this permit was not favorable. If a permit application
were made, Mr. Wright indicated that 'dues to "the ' nature of the operation
='(whichAncluded destruction of wetlands) it was likely the processing
could ' take several years. How ever, Mr. Wright indicated that if no
more c�xpanr�ion of -the pond took place, no 4f)4 permit`Would be
raquired.
Mr. Gilchrist has since the time of this neeting indicated that the,. ;
.
company will not expand their -pond and that in the future the operations
will consist of processing -sands and gravels brought in from outside
.
mined: .. •- -
4.
Dues to the location"of the site in the wetlands, the water level'in
the pond -is: influenced iffy 'tl-ie Water lev&l in l ruwning Creek.. This is.
particularly true. when considering the sand and gravel deposits tahich
underlie .the wetlands and provide a path'of relatively'low'resistance'
•
for groundwater. it is for this,reason.that the pond can exist as a
non -discharges facility with only a 3 to 4 foot high dike durrounding it.

INTRODUCTION
Southern Products and Silica Company, Inc. of Hoffman,
North Carolina dredges and processes sand and gravel at it's
plant site on U.S. Highway l between Hoffman and Southern Pines,
North Carolina. The plant is located approximately 0.7 miles
from the intersection of Drowning Creek and U.S. Highway.l.
Processessing consists of washing, drying, storing and
bulk or bag loading of various sizes of sand and gravel obtained
from a dredged area and purchased from other sources.
Both the dredging and washing operations use water from
the dredging basin. Water returns to the basin carrying small
amounts of clay, sand, silt and debris where is mixes with the
basin water causing a turbid condition.. Dredging also causes
turbidity.
To prevent turbid water from entering Drowning Creek, a
series of low dikes are to be built around the dredging basin
to elevations higher than the 25 year flood stage. The dikes
will be constructed of sand and gravels They will allow water
to slowly filter to Drowning Creek while trapping any suspended
particles in the water.

1�.
PROCESS A'ESCR>rPTION
Sand and Gravel mined and processed at Southern Products and
Silica Company, Inc. near Hoffman, North Carolina is dredged from
an area which has had three to five -feet of overburden and trees
removed for access to the sand and gravel. deposits. (see Graving
H-1 for Plot Plan showing dredging area and location of processing
equipment) A barge mounted, self powered dredge with rotary
cutting head and suction pipe removes sand and gravel deposits
to a depth of 10 to 12 feet below the overburden. The mixed
dredge deposits and water are pumped to shore through a floating
pipelims where the pressure is increased by a shore mounted booster
PUMP •
The sand and gravel mixture then floras to a grizzley and
screening operation which separates the gravel into sizes and
thence to a sand classifier and washer. Washed sand is stock-
piled before being dried and conveyed to a screening operation
over the silos. Screened and sired sand is stored below in the
silos. Washed, sized and processed sand is bulk loaded or bagged
for customers.
Gravel from the screening operation is stockpiled and later
transported to the pebble mill or rewash plant for further
processing and sizing. Washed, sized and processed gravel is
bulk loaded or bagged for shipment to customers requiring the
product.

s.
Water for washing is pumped from the dredging area to the
various operations and returns to the same area at a different
location as shown on the Plot Plan. Water from the dredging
operation also flows to the water discharge point to mix with
the wash water. Small particles of sand, silt, clay and debris
are allowed to settle in the discharge area as the water flows
back into the dredging basin.
DISCHARGE CONTAINMENT
In order to prevent discharge water from the sand and gravel
dredging and processing operations from flowing directly into
Drowning Creek which ajoin,s the property,.a low dike will be
constructed around the entire dredging area. The dike elevation
will exceed the 25 year flood stage elevation by a minimum of
1.78 feet shown as BM #2 on Drawing H-1 and H-2.
The dike will be constructed as shown in Plan and Elevation
Drawings H-2-6 and Elevation Section A -A on Drawing H-1. It will
consist of a mixed sand and gravel core covered with a gravel
riprap. The dike is not intended to permanently impound the
Waters of the dredgingbasin. instead the permeable core and
cover of the dike will permit water collected behind the dike to
gradually filter through to the Drowning Creek wet lands area.
The filtering action will effe-tively remove suspended solids of
silt, clay, etc. and require no additional treatment.

r.I
Since the discharge water from the sand and gravel washing
and sizing operations contains no additives, chemicals or
bio-degradable waste materials, the dredging basin allows the
heavier suspended solids of sand, clay, silt and organic matter
such as roots acid humus from the overburden to settle out.
Those particles which remain suspended and/or stirred up by
the dredging operation are then filtered out by the permeable
dikes as the water returns to wet lands areas adjacent to Drowning
Creek.
No additional water from wells or 'other sources is used in
the washing and processing operations. Water pumped out by the
dredge or by the pumping station returns to the dredging area
and is used over again as required for processing the sand and
gravel.
To prevent errosion of the dike due to heavy rains or
runoff, a gravel riprap cover is added to protect the sand and
gravel core. With the specified minimum 81-011 width and a
1:3 slope, the mini -mum width of the base of the dike would be at
least 10.5 feet based on the 98 foot wetlands elevation and a
101.78 feet minimum dike height.
Elevations for the 25 year flood stage -were obtained
from the U. S. Army -Corps of Engineers as 9.3 feet on the
U.S.G.S. Station at the crossing of U.S. Highway 1 and Drowning
Creek (letter attached). This gaging station is approximately
0.7 miles from the corner of the plant site as shown on the
Drawing H-1P A survey from the 9.3- elevation at the gaging

7
station to the plant site and letting this elevation equal
100'-010 establishes the minimum elevation for 25 year flood
stage for the dredging area. To assure compliance with the
25 year flood stage requirement and permit a sufficient margin
of safety, a 101.78 foot elevation Was selected for the minimum
allowable height of the dikes. Complete elevation and plan
details are shown on Drawings H-2-6.

N.
SUMMARY
Southern Products and Silica Company, Inc. near Hoffman,
North Carolina on U.S. Highway 1 dredges sand and gravel and
processes it by washing, sizing, drying, storage, bagging and
bulk loading. Water for the dredging and washing operations
is obtained from the dredging area and returns to the area after
use. No other use is made of the water and it contains sand,
clay, silt and debris when it is discharge, into the dredging
area.
A permeable dike is proposed to finer this discharge water
and allow sufficient retention time for heavier particles to
settle out. Particles stirred up by the dredge would also behave
in the same manner. The dike would be constructed at least
1.7a feet above the 25 year flood stage as determined from
U.S.G.S. records at Drowning Creek and U.S. Highway 1 near the
plant site and from the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers.
A Plot Plan of the plant site and elevations and sections
of the proposed dike are shown on Drawing No. 8005, sheets H-1
through H-5.

Dear Mr. Bethea:
13 May 1980
This is in response to your request of 7 May 1980 for flood hazard information
at Southern Products Company on U.S. 1 north of Hoffman.
The U. S. Geological Survey has operated a stream gaging station (No. 02133500)
on the downstream side of the U.S. 1 bridge at Drowning Creek since 1939. A
gage analysis shows a 25-year flood stage of 9.3.feet and a 100-year flood stage
of 10.5 feet. The U.S.G.S. gives the altitude of the gage (zero stage) as 270
feet as established from a topographic map. However, a precise gage datum should
be determined in the field before establishing flood elevations.
If you have any questions about this information, please call on us.

Dear Mr.,,Betheas _
'This letter is being 'written to hopefully clarifY.'Aeveral points raised`
iu ;your letter to our -office dated April 23, . '1980.
The first item.requiring cl.arification.concerned the skin -discharge permit
application'. This form•vas designed for use'by applicants.seeking permits for '
sewei. line' exteu alone (ithich discharge to treatment facilities arid- not`'airectly
to`surfice waters, hence non-diacharge),•apray irrigation system-, large"septic
tank `systems,'•pretreatment facilities, or any•other,treatment system radish does .
not discharge directly to surface 'raters of'the State. .3ince this application ,
• covers `such a vide. variety. of systems it is somewhat vague' and contains
sectione.which ,probably do not apply to the Southern Pioducts3 and Silica project.,
H*wetver,•it is the correct form because it Applies to discharges -not to surface
waters of .the State. Enclosed is "a marked, up .form which should -be helpful in
completing.the appllcation..
Information concerning the 25 year 24 hour storm 'for that area may,be
obtained''frota the Army Carps oP.Engineers is Nilmirigtan'. N.C. _ Tire swiidh
board 'number is [phone]. They should also be able to provide: assistance
as to what level DrowningCreeks rises to during this storm event:.-r • On the
possibility that this information is not available, please find euclosed a
copy rof a portion of a floodplain- ,map' iahich gives the elevation (if' the ' 100 year' t
flood.' Unfortunately our office does not have a 25 year flood'plain map and
hopefully the 100 year reap will be of some help. _-
If you have any further yuesfiond concerning.the design stores; or other-
desigu-para6aters,.it would probibl" be beat.. -to contact Mr. Lee Filming, Uuit

Re: Southern Products and Silica, Hoffman, N.C.
Dear Mr. Noland,
Mr. Marshall B. Gilchrist, President of Southern Pro-
ducts and Silica, Company, Inc., has retained my firm to
prepare the necessary documents and designs and perform
construction supervision for containment of the mining/
process water recycle pond at their facility near Hoffman,
North Carolina.
I inspected the facility on April 4th and advised Mr.
Gilchrist that as a temporary measure he should increase
the heights of the dike where runoff to the adjacent swamp
was occurring. In the meantime, I would proceed with pre--
peration of the application for a Non --Discharge Permit as
outlined in Mr. Ramsey's letter to him Ltd 3/21/80.
I would like you to please clarify two items for me
before we make an application. (1) The permit form is ob-
viously for discharge. In fact, it specifically states ...
"Permit" for the discharge. . .etc. Is this form still
valid for application of a Non -Discharge Permit, and if so,
would the placement of "N/A" (,for not applicable) in the
several of the spaces be satisfactory? (2) Where may I
obtain information on the 25 year, 24 hour storm dates for
the Hoffman area?
We are proceeding with the additional requirement for

a Plot plan for the facility so that no time will be lost
and we can expediciously make application for the Non -Dis-

Surveyor in North Carolina. My North Carolina Engineer's
License number is 5884 and my North Carolina Surveyor's
License number is L-2109.

April 9th., 1980.
As a result of your letter requesting that Southern Products
& Silica apply for a non -permit, I have contacted Tom Bethea with
Bethea Engineering Company, Inc., P.O. Box 10786, Rock Hill, S.C.
29730. Mr. Bethea is a Registered Engineer in both North & South
Carolina.
Mr. Bethea visited Southern Products & Silica on April 4th.,
1980, when I physically showed him the correspondence which I had
received from you as well as the mining site.
Southern Products & Silica has begun to increase the height
of the dike in low areas. As evidence of this I am attaching a copy
of a letter from Mr. Joseph E. Class which references his visit on
March 26th., 1980.
Mr. Tom Bethea indicated to me that he would begin his study
of the site immediately and that he would be in touch with you to
obtain clarification on several points which you had raised.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
SOUTHERN PRODUCTS & SILICA CO. INC.,

Dear Mr. Gilchrist:
In your letter dated March 12, 1980. you indicated that Southern Products
and Silica proposed to increase -the height of the dike around the mining/process .
water recycle pond and thereby eliminate ;any discharge from the facility. You
'are correct in -determining that an NPDES Discharge Permit will no longer be
necessary, however, it will be necessary to obtain a Non -Discharge Permit. The
requirement --for this Permit is found in N.C. General Statute 143-215.1 d and.
H.C.A.C. Title 15 Chapter 2H.0200.
Please complete the enclosed applications in triplicate and submit the
following additional information in triplicate at the earliest possible date:
1. Plot plan showing locations of buildings, roads, streams,
mining/recycle-pond, procesaing equipment, etc.;
2. Typical cross section of dikes showing side slopes, stabiliza-
tion of slopes, dimensions', material of dike, freeboard,
emergency spillway, surface water diversion, etc.
3. Justification for predicting that.the facility will not discharge
except during the 25 year, 24 hour storm.
This information must be sealed by an engineer licensed by the -State of
North'Caroiiva before our Department can begin -its review.
If you have any questions concerning,this matter, please contact
Mr. M. J. Noland with our office at 486-1541.
