Reviewed facility's Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) and monitoring records. The SPPP is complete with the exception of documentation of an annual review/update per the conditions of Part III, Section A, item 8 of the NCG020000 permit. The mine site has been inactive for several years, however there are plans to resume activity at the mine in order to obtain material for expansion projects at the Sampson County Landfill. Analytical monitoring is conducted quarterly per the requirements for wastewater discharges as the site has one outfall from a pond that receives stormwater flow that is commingled with passive mine dewatering of ground water through a perimeter ditch leading into the pond. Site currently has no stormwater only outfallsldischarge points. Quarterly monitoring records from 2013 to present were reviewed. There have been no exceedances of effluent limits with the exception of pH values below 6. However, facility has been sampling upstream and downstream, which show values between the pH limits of 6 to 9. Observations were made of the mine site including the pond and outfall. Pond was discharging clear water at the time of inspection.

Sullins Director February 11, 2010 Dee Freeman Secretary Subject: NPDES Stormwater Permit Coverage Renewal Sampson County Disposal Incorporated COG Number NCG020628 Sampson County In response to your renewal application for continued coverage under stormwater General Permit NCG020000 the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) is forwarding herewith the reissued stormwater General Permit. This permit is reissued 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 following information is included with your permit package: • A new Certificate of Coverage • A copy of stormwater General Permit NCG020000 • A copy of a Technical Bulletin for the General Permit • Two copies of the Tier 2 / Exceedence Discharge Monitoring Report (DMR) Form for Stormwater • One copy each of the Annual Summary DMR Forms for Stormwater and Wastewater • Two copies of the Limit Violation DMR Form for Wastewater • Two copies of the Qualitative Monitoring Report Form The General Permit authorizes discharges of stormwater and wastewater, and it specifies your obligations with respect to discharge controls, management, monitoring, and record keeping. Please review the new permit to familiarize yourself with all the changes in the reissued permit. If your Certificate of Coverage (COC) restricts authorization to discharge stormwater only (or other limited terms) based on your original application, or subsequent modifications to your COG, you must continue to meet these requirements or contact the Stormwater Permitting Unit to request a modification of this renewal COC. The more significant changes in the General Permit since your last Certificate of Coverage include the following: Part 11: • Section B — Language referencing PAMS has been changed. Flocculants may now be used if evaluated by the Division and administered in accordance with maximum application doses and other requirements. Part III: • Section A — The permit now requires a Stormwater Pollution and Prevention Plan (SPPP) tailored to the mining industry, in lieu of a Stormwater BMP Plan. • Section A - Inactive mines may be inspected on a reduced schedule: at least once per month and after 0.5" (or more) of rain. To qualify, inactive mines must possess an "Inactive Renewal" from DLR or certify to DWQ the site has been stabilized. The permittee must notify the DWQ Regional Office of inactive status. Discharges from inactive mines must still be monitored on the same schedule as active mines.

(The previous cut-off concentrations have been removed.) • Section B — Revised provisions require the permittee to execute Tier One, Tier Two & Tier Three response actions, based on the first benchmark exceedence (Tier One) and the second consecutive benchmark exceedence (Tier Two). Tier Two requires that the permittee institute monthly monitoring (reported to the appropriate Regional Offices) instead of twice -per -year monitoring. Monthly monitoring shall be done until three consecutive monitoring events show no benchmark exceedences. • Section B — This part contains a new provision that four exceedences of any benchmark will trigger increased DWQ involvement in the permittee's stormwater management and control actions. DWQ may direct the permittee to apply for an individual permit, institute specific monitoring, or may direct the implementation or installation of specific stormwater control measures. • Section B -- The definition of "Representative Storm Event" (RSE) now allows 48 hours (instead of 72 hours) of little or no precipitation to precede an RSE. • Section B — Stormwater discharges from a basin designed to contain the f 0-year storm must now be monitored. • Sections B & C — Failure to monitor according to permit terms triggers monthly monitoring for the remainder of the permit. • Section C — Analytical monitoring for Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons (TPH) has replaced the Oil & Grease parameter in the previous permit. • Section D — Qualitative monitoring must now be conducted during the same representative storm event as the analytical monitoring. • Section D — The permittee is required to keep a written record of his response to problems identified by his qualitative monitoring observations. • Section D — If the permittee fails to respond effectively to problems identified by qualitative monitoring, the permittee may be required by DWQ to perform corrective action. • Section D — Qualitative ROS: Representative Outfall Status may be granted for qualitative monitoring for some Stormwater Discharge Outfalls (SDOs). • Section D — If mines do not respond to problems seen in visual monitoring, DWQ may now require that mines change the monitoring frequency, apply for an individual permit, implement in -stream monitoring, install or modify structural stormwater controls, or implement other controls. • Sections B, C, & D — Inability to sample due to adverse weather must be reported in the SPPP and recorded in the Annual Summary DMR. + Section E — A lower TSS Wastewater limit for PNA waters is included in the permit. • Section E — All mining operations are now required to monitor TSS in wastewater effluent discharges (not only industrial sand mines). However, TSS limits only apply to industrial sand mining operations. • Section E — Turbidity limits on effluent discharges have been removed; however, turbidity standards still apply in the receiving waters. • Section E — Approval of a Pumping O&M Plan may be required prior to coverage (for sites with dewatering activities that have the potential to drain wetlands or other surface waters). • Section E — ATC Requirements have been changed for clarity. These requirements are now outlined for Mine Dewatering Wastewater, Process Wastewater, Overflow From Non -Closed -Loop Process Recycle Wastewater Systems, and Overflow From A Closed -Loop Process Recycle (CLPR). • Section E — Monitoring for Fecal coliforms in discharges to SA waters has been clarified. Fecal coliform monitoring is now required for all process and mine dewatering wastewater discharges to SA waters. Part IV: • Section E — Items 1. and 2. require submittal of a new reporting form: the Annual Summary DMR. This annual summary of the analyticamonitoring results should be submitted to the DWO Central Office by March 1 of each year. • Section E — Exceedences and violations must be sent to the appropriate DWQ Regional Office within 30 days of receipt from the lab. • Section E — Results of "No Flow" or "No Discharge" must be recorded within 30 days from the sampling period in the SPPP. "No flow" or "No Discharge" must also be reported on the Annual Summary DMR form.

Director Division of Water Quality June 22, 2004 Mr. Matthew S. Lamb Project Scientist G.N. Richardson & Associates, Inc 14 N. Boylan Avenue Raleigh, NC 27603 Subject: NPDES COC #NCG020628 SCD Mine Facility Sampson County Dear Mr, Lamb: The Division has reviewed your request for a variance to the pH limit for the Subject Stormwater/Wastewater Permit due to the naturally occurring low pH of the waters at the SCD Mine. These low pH waters are the result of waters in the mine pit being in contact with the high sulfur content soils that occur in the Black Creek geologic formation in this area of Sampson County. Your analytical work has shown that while pH of the discharges from the mine are lower than the General Permit requirement of between 6.0 and 9.0 (with designated swamp waters being allowed a pH as low as 4.3 if due to natural conditions) that stream water quality standards are not being contravened in the downstream waters. The discharge from the mine dewatering is regularly in the 3.0 to 3.5 range. Stream measurements have indicated that the downstream waters are not being caused to fall below the water quality standard of 4.3. Based upon your request and supplied stream data, we have determined that your request for variance is granted. The new limit for the permit (specifically for this facility) is that the pH of the upstream and downstream waters be measured on the same date that the effluent samples are taken with the pH in the downstream waters not being caused to fall below 4.3 and the pH limit on the effluent is suspended. This variance will continue for the future versions of NCG020000 without having to be renewed even though the general permit will have to be reissued every five years (the current NCG020000 will expire on November 30 this year).
