RE: Willis Pit
Mining Permit No. 67-26
NOV-2009-PC-0765
Onslow County, NC
Dear Mr. Shiver.
°
This letter is in response to your letter dated September 8, 2009. As you have stated, we have not
been monitoring our mine dewatering discharge. We have always been unsure exactly what we were
supposed to do, and we have not been able to find a copy of our permit. We dewater using a floating
pump located in the existing settling basin/pond in the rear of the mine. We are not actively mining in that
area. We currently mine in another area of the mine. We typically let the water under the pump rise to a
depth of about 8 feet deep, then dewater down to a depth of about 5 feet deep. Therefore, we feel that we
are pumping off the cleaner liquid from the higher portions of the settling basin/pond.
Per our and our consultant's (Tim Stewart of Parker & Associates, Inc.) discussions with Linda
Willis, of your staff, we will begin immediately to monitor our dewatering discharge per the requirements
in the permit once Ms. Willis sends us a copy of the permit.
In addition, Parker & Associates, Inc. and their wetlands consultant will study the adjacent
wetlands to determine if they are being impacted by our dewatering. Since we don't use wells to dewater,
and only dewater after rain events, we don't think that we are impacting the wetlands. A recent inspection
of the adjacent wetlands showed standing water in the wetlands areas, which indicates to us that we are
not dewatering deep enough to impact the wetlands.
We anticipate that it will take a month or two to study the wetlands and come up with an
Operation and Maintenance Plan for the mine, since we will have to get the wetlands delineated, then
surveyed, then analyze all the data and come up with a plan. We will have the plan sent to Linda Willis
for her approval once it is complete.
Thank you for your understanding in this matter. We are trying to follow all the rules of our
mining permit as we know them. Please call me or Tim Stewart if you have any questions or need any
additional information.
Very
e truly yours,
J✓- L��

Hi Mrs. Willis,
Attached is a copy of the comments provided to me from NCDENR DLQ regarding a submitted mining application.
Discussing these comments with Mrs. Rodgers; she indicated that you provided items 2-4. 1 wanted to discuss those
comments with you and tried to contact you on the afternoon of Thursday October 1 in hopes of doing so. Since Mr. Smith
uses this pit for beach renourishment projects; it is imperative that his mining permit be complete on early November
therefore in an effort to streamline the permitting process I wanted to discuss your comments with you directly. Please see
my response/ clarification below.
2. Please see the response letter from 2002 which indicates that the Land Management group had identified 2 potential
wetland areas prior to the permit modification in 2002. They have been flagged and surveyed and identified on the mining
plan. Our new permit modification maintains the required 50' buffer from those areas and no other wetland areas were
originally identified within the upland area. Therefore is the ACOE approval required based on the information provided
above? Our concern is the timing of the approval based on the aforementioned schedule above.
3. A copy of Mr. Smith's General Permit is attached for your records.
4. When it is necessary to dewater Mr. Smith pumps through the stilling basin and any discharge sheet flows to the
identified isolated wetlands. Which in fact is a small cypress pond with no outlet therefore it holds any collected water;
either rainfall or dewatering discharge; and allows it to infiltrate. If additional dewatering locations are necessary then we
have instructed to install the stilling basin — level spreader BMPs prior to any discharge. Also we have instructed him to
maintain and abide by the sampling and effluent limitations set forth within the aforementioned permit.
Your input on these items would be greatly appreciated. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions or would like to
discuss these items further.
Thanks,
Jody Bland
