As of August 1, 2013, the Division of Energy, Mineral and Land Resources (DEMLR) manages the implementation of this program for NCDENR. The NPDES permitting program for stormwater discharges was established in 1990. Phase I focuses on site and operations planning to reduce pollutant sources. Through the NPDES permitting program, industrial facilities that fall into one of the subject ten categories are required to obtain permit coverage under a general permit or an individual permit, depending upon the facilities SIC code and the industrial activity occurring at the facility. There are currently 19 active general stormwater permits in North Carolina. One condition that is applicable to both the general permits and individual stormwater permits is the requirement to develop and implement site -specific comprehensive stormwater pollution prevention plans (SPPP). These plans are required to include a comprehensive evaluation of the site and operations to reduce pollutant sources and prevent pollutant discharge. Copies of the general permits and accompanying documents can be accessed from the following webpage: httn://portal.ncdenr.org/web/Ir/npdes-stormwater#tab- Permit text, technical bulletins, discharge monitoring forms, and a Notice of Intent [which is the application of for coverage under a NPDES General Stormwater Permit] can be found at this web site. The following items are a subset of permit requirements and are listed to assist you and help bring your attention to certain permitting issues, process and condition requirements of your permit. Please see the above mentioned web site in order to obtain a copy of the permit such that you may fully comply with all the conditions therein. Failure to properly comply with conditions of the permit, like those bulleted below, constitutes violations and are subject civil penalty assessment of up to $25,000.00 per day. • Industrial facilities that fall into one of the subject ten categories are required to obtain permit coverage under a general NPDES stormwater permit or an individual NPDES stormwater permit • All persons desiring to have facilities covered by a General Permit must register with the Division of Energy, Mineral and Land Resources (DEMLR) by the filing of a Notice of Intent (NOI) and Applicable Fees. • This Notice of Intent (NOI) must be submitted and a Certificate of Coverage issued prior to any discharge of stormwater associated with the industrial activity, process wastewater, and/or mine dewatering. • Once the Notice of Intent is received, DEMLR will review and determine whether a Certificate of Coverage (COC) may be issued. If this Certificate of Coverage is issued the facility is covered by the General Permit. That -is, the pennittee is authorized to discharge stormwater, process wastewater, and/or mine dewatering pursuant to the type of General Permit until the permit expires or is modified or revoked. . Page 3 Any other point source discharge to surface water of the state is prohibited unless it is an allowable non-stormwater discharge or is covered by another permit, authorization or approval. There are currently 19 active general permits. Permit conditions vary accordingly; however, most of the permits have following condition requirements (you must read your entire permit to ensure full compliance): o Development and compliance with the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan o Collection, reporting, and recording of Analytical Monitoring o Collection, reporting and recording of Qualitative Monitoring o Collection, reporting and recording of Vehicle Maintenance Monitoring o Records — Visual monitoring shall be documented and records maintained at the facility along with the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan. Copies of the analytical monitoring results shall also be maintained on -site. The Permittee shall retain records of all monitoring information, including all calibration and maintenance records and all original strip chart recordings for continuous monitoring instrumentation, and copies of all reports required by this general permit for a period of least 5 years for the date of the sample measurement, report or application. o Expiration — The permittee is not authorized to discharge after the expiration date of the general permit. In order to receive automatic authorization to discharge beyond the expiration date, the permittee shall submit forms and fees as are required by the agency authorized to issue permits no later than l 80-days prior to expiration date. Any permittee that has not requested renewal at least 180 days prior to expiration, or any permittee that does not have a permit after the expiration and has not requested renewal at least 180 days prior to expiration, will be subject to enforcement. Failure to renew your permit is a violation. o Transfer-- The Certificate of Coverage (COC) issued pursuant to this general permit is not transferable to any person expect after notice to and approval by the Director. The Director may require modification or revocation and reissuance of the Certificate of Coverage to change the name and incorporate such other requirements as may be necessary under the Clean Water Act. The Permit is NOT transferable. o Name Change, Closure or Facility Ownership change — Permittee is required to notify the Division in writing in the event the permitted facility is sold or closed. The Division of Energy, Mineral and Land Resources views changes of name or ownership as a modification that requires the Director's approval and reissuance of the permit. Name and ownership changes required you to complete a Name/ownership Change Form from the Division and mail it back to the along Page 4 with all appropriate information to the Division of Energy, Mineral and Land Resources. o Proper Operation and Maintenance is a requirement of the permit.

The buffer areas around the settling pond will be maintained so that rainwater and runoff water from the stockpiles will flow into the mine pit. When mining is completed in the current pit, the entire mine area will form a pond per the reclamation plan in the State Mining Permit Application. Upon.completion of Phase I, mining will begin on Phase 11 and the same procedures will be followed as in Phase I. Pumpiny, Fre uenc The mine in Phase I of the mining process will be pumped as needed to keep the area dry for mining. Pump periods will be monitored by hour meters attached to the pumps. For pumps with no hour meters a pump log will be maintained . These records will be used to determine the Total Flow per the monitoring requirements in Table 1. If there is a negative effect found on the hydrology in the area, the pumping frequency will be modified accordingly. Hydrology Monitoring There will be 4 monitoring wells installed around the proposed mine area to monitor the effects on the hydrology in the area. There will one installed along the southeast side, southwest side, and northwest side where the undisturbed buffer abuts the wetlands. The wells will be 2' in diameter at a depth of 10' b.g.s. (below ground surface) using standard well screen. The well riser will be approximately 3' — 4' a.g.s. (above ground surface) so that the wells will be easy to see when sampling. One monitoring well MW-5) will be installed between the active mine area and the reclaimed min it on. his well will be monitored quarterly until the current mine is closed out. The wells will be checked on a biweekly basis for the duration of dewatering. The monitoring will continue to be biweekly after dewatering until the groundwater levels are up to previous levels pre-dewatering. Maintenance The settling pond will be checked regularly and sediment will be removed as needed. The pond will be maintained at a minimum depth of 4' below the spillway outlet and a maximum depth of 10'. The sediment basin and outlet pipe will be monitored accordingly and sediment will be removed as needed: The spillway will be checked on a regular basis and maintained as needed. Discharge Monitorin Discharge monitoring and reporting will be performed as specified in Table 1. If the effluent limitations are greater than specified in Table 2 the monitoring frequency will be modified to monthly monitoring of the effluents. Monitoring Reports Discharge monitoring results in accordance with the terms of this permit, NCG020000, shall be submitted no later than 30 days from the end of the monitoring period. Duplicate signed copies of all reports required shall be submitted to the NC DENR Division of Water Quality, Water Quality Section, ATTENTION: Central Files, 1617 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617. The mine operator will report orally any noncompliance within 24 hours after becoming aware of the noncompliance. Table t.

A file review reveals there has been no application received by DWQ and there has been no permit issued for this mine. The National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) program was established by the federal Clean Water Act (1972) and then delegated to the Division of Water Quality for implementation in North Carolina. The NPDES Phase I permitting program for stormwater discharges was established in 1990. Phase I focused on site and operation planning to reduce pollutant sources: One of the industries regulated through NPDES permits is mining activities under the standard industrial code 1442: As a result of the site inspection and file review, the following violation, detailed below, is noted: (1) Operating this facility without a stormwater permit Item I. Operating a facility without a stormwater permit It is illegal to operate certain industrial plants without a permit under North Carolina General Statute ',(NCGS) 143-215.1(a). Illegal operation is subject to civil penalties of up to $25,000 per day according to NCGS 143-215.6A(a)(2). NPDES general permit NCG020000 has been established pursuant to NCGS 143-215.1(b) for discharges of stormwater to surface waters. This general permit is applicable to owners or operators of stormwater point source discharges associated with activities classified as establishments primarily engaged in mining. The Onslow Sand Mine was operating at the time of inspection. N. C.

The NO] shall be submitted and a certificate of coverage issued prior to any discharge of stormwater associated with industrial activity, mine dewatering wastewater, or process wastewater that has a point source discharge to the surface waters of the state. This General Permit covers mining and quarrying of nonmetallic minerals (except fuels) including borrow pits (that would not be covered under the statewide DOT stormwater permit) and active or inactive mines that discharge stormwater contaminated with, or that has come in contact with, any overburden, raw material, intermediate products, finished products, byproducts or waste products located at the site of such operations and stormwater runoff from vehicle maintenance areas. This General Permit also covers discharge of wastewater from processing mined materials and mine dewatering wastewater from the groundwater and/or stormwater that accumulates in the mine pit. ' Any owner or operator not wishing to be covered or limited by this General Permit may make application for an individual NPDES permit in accordance with NPDES procedures in 15A NCAC 2H .0100, stating the reasons supporting the request. Any application for an individual permit should be made at least 180 days prior to commencement of discharge. This General Permit does not cover activities or discharges covered by an individual NPDES permit until the individual permit has expired or has been revoked. Any person conducting an activity covered by an individual permit but which could be covered by this General Permit may request that the individual permit be revoked and coverage under this General Permit be provided. Any facility may apply for new or continued coverage under this permit until a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) for pollutants for stormwater or wastewater discharges is established. A TMDL sets a pollutant -loading limit that affects a watershed, or portion of a watershed, draining to an impaired water. For discharges to watersheds affected by a TMDL, coverage under this permit may depend on the facility demonstrating it does not have reasonable potential to violate applicable water quality standards for those pollutants as a result of discharges. If the Division determines that discharges have reasonable potential to cause water quality standard violations, the facility shall apply for an individual permit 180 days prior to the expiration date of this general permit Once that individual permit is effective, the facility will no longer have coverage under this general permit. [Note the permittee must identify impaired waters (scheduled for TMDL development) and waters already subject to a TMDL in the Site Plan, as outlined in the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP), Part III, Section A. Parts I-11 Page 1 of 4 Permit No. NCG020000 SECTION B: PERMITTED ACTIVITIES Until this permit expires or is modified or revoked, the permittee is authorized to discharge stormwater, mine dewatering, and/or process wastewater to the surface waters of North Carolina or a separate storm sewer system which has been adequately treated and managed in accordance with the terms and conditions of this General Permit. Types of approved discharges are dependent upon approval and are detailed in the permittee's individual Certificate of Coverage (COC). All discharges shall be in accordance with the conditions of this permit Any other point source discharge to surface waters of the state is prohibited unless it is an allowable non-stormwater discharge or is covered by another permit, authorization, or approval. If mining activities will expand or change such that the types of discharges are affected, the permittee is to contact DWQ to determine if modifications to the COC are necessary first. The permittee is also responsible for contacting the Division of Land Resources (DLR) if modifications to the Mining Permit are necessary, as compliance with the Mining Permit is a stipulation of this permit. The discharges allowed by this General Permit shall not cause or contribute to violations of Water Quality Standards. Discharges allowed by this permit must meet applicable wetland standards as outlined in 15A NCAC 2B .0230 and .0231 and water quality certification requirements as outlined in 15A NCAC 2H .0500. This permit does not relieve the permittee's responsibility for compliance with any other applicable federal, state or local law, rule, standard, ordinance, order or decree. PART II — AUTHORIZATION TO CONSTRUCT AND OPERATE A TREATMENT FACILITY Mining operations involving construction and operation of wastewater treatment facilities for mine dewatering or process wastewater (such as saw water, wash water, etc.) are subject to construction and operation requirements for treatment facilities as outlined in Sections A and B below. SECTION A: REQUIREMENTS FOR CONSTRUCTING NEW OR EXPANDING WASTEWATER TREATMENT FACILITIES 1. All new or expanding wastewater treatment facilities must receive an Authorization to Construct (AtC) from DWQ, unless specifically excluded in Part 111, Section E in this permit. Treatment facility arrangements excluded from the AtC requirement are as follows: ♦ Dewatering wastewater directly pumped from the pit through erosion and sedimentation control facilities and that does not require additional treatment other than those structures to meet effluent limits prior to discharge. ♦ Water conveyed from mined sand and/or gravel through erosion and sedimentation control facilities and that does not require additional treatment other than those structures to meet effluent limits prior to discharge. ♦ Closed -loop process recycle wastewater systems that are designed to operate with a minimum of two feet (2') of freeboard and that limit the water entering the system to makeup water and/or precipitation that falls directly into the system (i.e., exclude stormwater runoff from draining into the system). ♦ Facilities designed to administer polyacrylamides (PAMS) or other chemical flocculant materials, as long as administered in accordance with Division requirements and that do not require additional treatment other than those structures to meet effluent limits prior to discharge. Parts I-11 Page 2 of 4 Permit No. NCG020000 Treatment facility arrangements that are subject to AtC requirement include, but are not limited to: ♦ Dewatering wastewater treatment facilities for discharges that do not meet effluent limits and do not protect water quality standards. ♦ Process recycle wastewater systems that are not designed to operate with a minimum of two feet (2') of freeboard and/or do not otherwise meet criteria to be considered closed -loop recycle system (i.e., Non -closed -loop recycle systems). Application for the AtC requires that plans and specifications be submitted to the Division of Water Quality, Stormwater Permitting Unit, 1617 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC 27699- 1617 for approval. Upon approval of the plans and specifications by the Division, a set of approved plans and specifications for the subject project will be returned to the permittee. These plans must be retained by the permittee for the life of the treatment facility. 4. Upon receipt of an approved AtC, approved treatment facilities shall be constructed and implemented in accordance with the conditions of this permit, approved plans and specifications, and other supporting data. Treatment facilities shall be constructed to meet the effluent limitations in Part II1, Section E of this General Permit. All such inspections must be documented with printed name, date, and signature of individual performing the inspection(s). Upon completion of construction and prior to operation of a permitted facility, a certification of plans and specifications must be received from a professional engineer in accordance with G.S. 89-25 certifying that the permitted facility has been installed in accordance with this permit, the approved plans and specifications, and other supporting materials. Mail the Certification of plans and specifications to the Division of Water Quality, Stormwater Permitting Unit, 1617 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC 27699-1617. The permittee shall notify the DWQ Regional Office at least seventy-two (72) hours in advance of operation 6f the installed facilities so that an in -place inspection can be made if the Regional Office so desires. Such notification to the Regional Supervisor shall be made during normal business hours from 8:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. on Monday through Friday, excluding State Holidays. Parts 1-II Page 3 of 4 Permit No. NCG020000 SECTION B: REQUIREMENTS FOR OPERATION OF A WASTEWATER TREATMENT FACILITY Existing, new and expanding wastewater treatment facilities shall be subject to the following operational requirements. 1. Operation and maintenance of treatment facilities must be in accordance with the requirements in this General Permit. For the purposes of this permit no documentation other than a signed Certificate of Coverage is required to operate an existing treatment facility. New treatment facilities must also have an Authorization to Construct (AtC) permit, with the exceptions noted in Section A above. 2. Diversion or bypass of untreated wastewater from a treatment facility is prohibited except under provisions of this permit in Part IV, Section C.3 and Part IV, Section E.7 3. In the event that a facility fails to perform satisfactorily, including the creation of nuisance conditions, the permittee shall take immediate corrective action, including those actions that may be required by this Division, such as the construction of additional or replacement treatment or disposal facilities. 4. The issuance of this permit shall not relieve the permittee of the responsibility for damages to surface waters of the State resulting from the operation of a treatment facility. 5. Any discharge from a treatment system to groundwater must protect the groundwater standards specified in 15A NCAC 2L, Groundwater Classification and Standards. 6. - Any groundwater quality monitoring, as deemed reasonably necessary by the Division, shall be provided. Flocculants evaluated by the Division may be used if administered in accordance with maximum application doses and any other current requirements. No other chemical flocculants shall be used in the treatment facility without written authorization from the Division. Evaluated Polyacrylamide (PAMS) information can be found via the Stormwater Permitting Unit website. 8. All discharges of mine dewatering wastewater and process wastewater will be monitored in accordance with Part III, Section E of this permit. Parts 1-11 Page 4 of 4 Permit No. NCG020000 PART III — MONITORING, CONTROLS, AND LIMITATIONS FOR PERMITTED DISCHARGES SECTION A: STORMWATER POLLUTION AND PREVENTION PLAN (SPPP) All permittees shall develop and implement a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP), herein after referred to as the Plan. This Plan shall be considered public information in accordance with Part IV, Standard Conditions, Section E, Paragraph 3 of this General Permit. The Plan shall include, at a minimum, the following items: Site Plan. The site plan shall provide a description of the physical facility and the potential pollutant sources that may be expected to contribute to contamination of stormwater discharges. The site plan shall contain the following: (a) A general location map (USGS quadrangle map or appropriately drafted equivalent map), showing the facility's location in relation to transportation routes and surface waters, the name of the receiving water(s) to which the stormwater outfall(s) discharges, or if the discharge is to a municipal separate storm sewer system, the name of the municipality and the ultimate receiving waters, and accurate latitude and longitude of the point(s) of discharge. The general location map (or alternatively the site map) shall identify whether each receiving water is impaired (on the state's 303(d) list of impaired waters) or is located in a watershed for which a TMDL has been established, and what the parameter(s) of concern are. (b) A narrative description of storage practices, loading and unloading activities, outdoor process areas, dust or particulate generating or control processes, and waste disposal practices. A narrative description of the potential pollutants that could be expected to be present in the stormwater discharge from each outfall. (c) A site map drawn at a scale sufficient to clearly depict: the site property boundary, the stormwater discharge outfalls, all on -site and adjacent surface waters and wetlands, industrial activity areas (including storage of materials, disposal areas, process areas, loading and unloading areas, and haul roads), site topography, all drainage features and structures, drainage areas for each outfall, direction of flow in each drainage area, industrial activities occurring in each drainage area, buildings, existing BMPs (with design capacities), and permanent impervious surfaces, such as roads or process areas that are unlikely to change frequently. The site map shall include a distance legend. In addition, the following industrial activity areas must also be identified on the site map: fueling, engine maintenance and repair, vessel maintenance and repair, washing, painting, sanding, blasting, welding, and metal fabrication. (d) A list of significant spills or leaks of pollutants that have occurred during the previous three (3) years and any corrective actions taken to mitigate spill impacts. (e) Certification that the stormwater outfalls have been evaluated for the presence of non-stormwater discharges. The certification statement will be signed in accordance with the requirements found in Part IV, Standard Conditions, Section B, Paragraph S. The permittee shall re -certify annually that the stormwater outfalls have been evaluated for the presence of non-stormwater discharges. Part III Page 1 of 16 Pages Permit No. NCGO2O000 2. Erosion and Sedimentation Control. The permittee shall implement the management practices and the erosion and sedimentation control measures that are included in the mining permit or erosion and sedimentation control permit issued by the Division of Land Resources (DLR). Compliance with the DLR issued permit is considered a requirement of this general permit. Any deviation from the DLR issued permit, or amendments to the issued permit, that impacts water quality shall constitute a violation of the terms and conditions of this general permit. All erosion and sediment controls shall be inspected, and a respective written record of repairs and maintenance shall be available to DWQ inspectors. A signed copy of the issued permit including the approved erosion and sedimentation control measures and the reclamation plan shall be maintained on the site at all times. Once an area is released by the Division of Land Resources in accordance with NC G.S. Chapter 74, Article 7, it shall no longer be subject to this general permit. 3. Stormwater Management Plan. The stormwater management plan shall contain a narrative description of the materials management practices employed which control or minimize the exposure of significant materials to stormwater, including structural and nonstructural measures. The stormwater management plan, at a minimum, shall incorporate the following: (a) Management of Stormwater Runoff and Runon. The permittee shall maintain stormwater BMPs for mine excavation and disturbance areas, process areas, and any other areas associated with mining or vehicle maintenance activities. In addition, controls should be used to limit or isolate selected land disturbance and process areas and limit the amount of off site stormwater runon to those areas. Appropriate Best Management Practices (BMus) should be used to divert, infiltrate, reuse or otherwise manage stormwater runoff and runon in a manner that reduces pollutants in stormwater discharges leaving the site. Appropriate BMPs may include but are not limited to: vegetative swales, berms, use of reclaimed mine areas, and reuse of collected stormwater (such as for an industrial process or as an irrigation source). (b) BMP Controls Inspection and Maintenance. All stormwater controls shall be inspected. All inspections are to be documented with a written record of repairs. BMPs shall be inspected by or under the direction of the permittee at least once every seven calendar days and within 24 hours after any storm event that results in a discharge, unless the site is inactive. Reduced Inspections for inactive mines. For inactive mines that have obtained an "Inactive Renewal" Mining Permit from DLR, BMPs must be inspected at least once every month, and within 24 hours of any storm event of 0.5 inches or more. For mines where active mining has suspended temporarily, but the mine maintains an active Mining Permit from DLR, the permittee must certify to DWQ that all portions of the site where clearing, grading, and/or excavation activities have temporarily ceased have been stabilized with vegetation, and may then conduct BMP inspections within 24 hours of any storm event that results in a discharge (no weekly minimum). The permittee must send certification to the DWQ Regional Office of "inactive" status and may be subject to an inspection for verification. The permittee must also notify the Regional Office upon resuming mining activities. A rain gauge and monitoring records are to be kept on site. BMPs shall be operated and maintained. BMPs must be cleaned out when sediment storage capacity is at 50% permitted volume. If visible sedimentation is leaving the property, corrective Part III Page 2 of 16 Pages Permit No. NCG020000 action shall be taken to reduce the discharge of sediments. Visible sedimentation shall be recorded with a brief explanation of measures taken to prevent future releases, as well as any measures taken to remove the sediment that has left the site. Visible sedimentation records shall be kept onsite. All other stormwater specific controls (e.g. oil/water separators) shall be inspected and qualitatively monitored (as per Part Ill. D) on a semi-annual schedule. A log of all sampling data, including activities taken to implement BMPs associated with vehicle maintenance activities, shall be maintained and incorporated into the SPPP and kept onsite and available for inspection purposes. These items shall be available for the duration of the permit term and made available to the Director upon request. These data shall be sent to the Regional Office upon request. (c) Secondary Containment Requirements and Records. Secondary containment is required for: bulk storage of liquid materials; storage in any amount of Section 313 of Title III of the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA) water priority chemicals; and storage in any amount of hazardous substances, in order to prevent leaks and spills from contaminating stormwater runoff. A table or summary of all such tanks and stored materials and their associated secondary containment areas shall be maintained. If the secondary containment devices are connected to stormwater conveyance systems, the connection shall be controlled by manually activated valves or other similar devices (which shall be secured closed with a locking mechanism), and any stormwater that accumulates in the containment area shall be at a minimum visually observed for color, foam, outfall staining, visible sheens and dry weather flow, prior to release of the accumulated stormwater. Accumulated stormwater shall be released if found to be uncontaminated by any material. Records documenting the individual making the observation, the description of the accumulated stormwater, and the date and time of the release shall be kept for a period of five (5) years. 4. Spill Prevention and Response Plan. The Spill Prevention and Response Plan (SPRP) shall incorporate an assessment of potential pollutant sources based on a materials inventory of the facility. Facility personnel (or the team) responsible for implementing the SPRP shall be identified in a written list incorporated into the SPRP and signed and dated by each individual acknowledging their responsibilities for the plan. A responsible person shall be on -site at all times during facility operations that have the potential to contaminate stormwater runoff through spills or exposure of materials associated with the facility operations. The SPRP must be site stormwater specific. Therefore, an oil Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure plan (SPCC) may be a component of the SPRP, but may not be sufficient to completely address the stormwater aspects of the SPRP. The common elements of the SPCC with the SPRP may be incorporated by reference into the SPRP. S. Preventative Maintenance and Good Housekeeping Program. A preventative maintenance and good housekeeping program shall be developed and implemented. The program shall ensure equipment used during mining activity on a site must be operated and maintained to prevent potential pollution of the surface water or groundwaters of the state. Fuels, lubricants, coolants, hydraulic fluids, or any other petroleum products -shall not be discharged on the ground or into surface waters. Spent lubricants and fuels shall be disposed of properly and in accordance with applicable federal disposal regulations. Spilled fluids shall be cleaned up to the maximum extent practicable and properly disposed of to prevent entry to surface waters or groundwaters of the state. The program shall establish schedules of inspections, maintenance, and housekeeping measures for vehicle maintenance and industrial activity areas (including material storage and handling areas, Part Ill Page 3 of 16 Pages Permit No. NCG020000 disposal areas, process areas, loading and unloading areas, and haul roads), where not already addressed under another element of this Plan. Schedules for inspections, maintenance, and housekeeping, and documentation that these program elements are being implemented, shall be recorded and maintained in the SPPP. 6. Employee Training. Training programs shall be developed and training provided at a minimum on an annual basis for facility personnel with responsibilities for: spill response and cleanup, preventative maintenance activities, and for any of the facility's operations that have the potential to contaminate stormwater runoff. Facility personnel (or team) responsible for implementing the training shall be identified, and their annual training shall be documented by the signature of each employee trained. Additional required training items include: used oil management, spent solvent management, disposal of spent abrasives, disposal of vessel wastewaters, fueling procedures, sanding, painting and blasting procedures, and used battery management. 7. Responsible Party. The Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan shall identify a specific position(s) responsible for the overall coordination, development, implementation, and revision to the Plan. Responsibilities for all components of the Plan shall be documented and position assignments provided. 8. Plan Amendment. The permittee shall amend the Plan whenever there is a change in design, construction, operation, or maintenance that has a significant effect on the potential for the discharge of pollutants to surface waters. All aspects of the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan shall be reviewed and updated on an annual basis. The annual update shall include an updated list of significant spills or leaks of pollutants for the previous three (3) years, or the notation that no spills have occurred. The annual update shall include written re -certification that the stormwater outfalls have been evaluated for the presence of non-stormwater discharges. Each annual update shall include a documented re-evaluation of the effectiveness of the BMPs listed in the BMP Summary of the Stormwater Management Plan. The Director may notify the permittee when the Plan does not meet one or more of the minimum requirements of the permit. Within 30 days of such notice, the permittee shall submit a time schedule to the Director for modifying the Plan to meet minimum requirements. The permittee shall provide certification in writing (in accordance with Part VI, Standard Conditions, Section B, Paragraph 5) to the Director that the changes have been made. 9. Plan Implementation. The permittee shall implement the Plan and all appropriate BMPs to ensure that contaminants do not enter surface waters via stormwater that comes in contact with any unstabilized overburden, raw materials, intermediate products, finished products, byproducts or waste products located on the site covered by this permit. Implementation of the Plan shall include documentation of all monitoring, measurements, inspections, maintenance activities, and training provided to employees, including the log of the sampling data and of actions taken to implement BMPs associated with the industrial activities, including vehicle maintenance activities. Such documentation shall be kept on - site for a period of five years and made available to the Director or the Director's authorized representative immediately upon request. SECTION B: STORMWATER DISCHARGES: ANALYTICAL MONITORING REQUIREMENTS Stormwater discharges are defined as stormwater from mining activity areas, including (but not limited to) areas of mine excavation, other land disturbance, process areas, and vehicle maintenance. This section does not apply to wastewater discharges from mine dewatering Part III Page 4 of 16 Pages Permit No. NCG020000 and process areas. Analytical monitoring for stormwater discharges shall be performed for parameters as specified in Tables 1 through 3. All analytical monitoring shall be performed during a representative storm event as defined below. Monitoring Exemption Analytical monitoring is not required for any basin or pond designed to contain the 25-year, 24- hour storm (see Part VII, Definitions] without discharging, and that can regain capacity to hold such an event within five (5) days' time through means other than discharge to surface waters. A basin or pond that meets this provision is considered a non -discharging stormwater control. Table 1.

Measurement Frequency: Twice per year during a representative storm event, as defined for this permit. Failure to comply with semi-annual monitoring in accordance with permit terms for any six-month monitoring period immediately triggers monthly monitoring for the remaining permit term. 2. Grab samples shall be collected within the first 30 minutes of discharge. For sites where multiple outfalls are separated by distances that preclude collection within 30 minutes of each discharge event is not feasible, begin collection procedures within 30 minutes and continue until all outfalls with discharges are sampled. Documentation explaining why it was not possible to take samples within the first 30 minutes must be kept in the SPPP. 3. Sample Location: Samples shall be collected at each Stormwater discharge outfall (SDO) unless representative outfall status (ROS) has been granted and documented by the Division of Water Quality. A copy of the letter granting ROS shall be kept on site. 4. 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 Stormwater discharge outfall(s). 5. For each sampled representative storm event the total precipitation must be recorded. An on -site rain gauge or local rain gauge reading must be recorded. 6. Total flow shall be: (a) measured continuously, or (b) calculated based on the amount of area draining to the outfall, the amount of impervious area, and the total amount of rainfall, or (c) estimated by the, measurement of flow at 20 minute intervals during the rainfall event. Total rainfall precipitation and duration of the rainfall event refers to the representative storm event sampled. All analytical monitoring shall be performed during a representative storm event at each stormwater discharge outfall (SDO). The permit allows the permittee to monitor turbidity at the SDO or up- and downstream of the SDO; however, the permittee should consider regular turbidity sampling up- and downstream of the discharge(s) when feasible to ensure compliance with water quality standards. Part III Page 5 of 16 Pages Permit No. NCG020000 A representative storm event for the purposes of this General Permit is a storm event that measures greater than 0.1 inches of rainfall. The time between this storm event and the previous storm event measuring greater than 0.1 inches must be at least 48 hours. One storm event may have a time period within it that has no precipitation. This time period may last up to 10 hours. For example, if it rains but stops before producing any collectable discharge, a sample may be collected if the next rain producing a discharge begins within 10 hours. The permittee shall complete the analytical samplings in accordance with the schedule specified in Table 2. A minimum of 60 days must separate each sample event unless monthly monitoring has been instituted under a Tier 2 response. Failure to comply with semi-annual monitoring in accordance with permit terms for any six-month monitoring period immediately triggers month) monitoring for the remaining permit term, unless adverse weather conditions prevent sample collection during the sample collection period. Inability to sample due to adverse weather conditions must be documented in the SPPP with date, time and written narrative (see Adverse Weather in Definitions) and reported on the Annual Summary DMR. Table Z. Monitoring Schedule Semi-annual Monitoring Eventsl.Z Start Date (All Years)3 'End Date (All Years).3 1januaa 1 June 30 2July 1 December 31 Footnotes; 1. Maintain semi-annual monitoring during permit renewal process (unless tiers prompt monthly). If at the expiration of the General Permit, the permittee has submitted an application for renewal of coverage before the submittal deadline, the permittee will be considered for renewed coverage. The applicant must continue monitoring until the renewed Certificate of Coverage is issued. 2. If no discharge occurs during the sampling period, the permittee must record "No Flow" or "No Discharge" within 30 days of the end of the six-month sampling period in the SPPP. "No Flow" or "No Discharge" shall be reported on the Annual Summary Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMR). This DMR is to be submitted to the Division's Central Office by March 1 of each year. 3. Monitoring periods remain constant throughout the five-year permit term (from January 1, 2010 to December 31, 2014). In all cases, the permittee shall report (as required in Part IV, Section E.) the analytical results from each sample within the monitoring period. The permittee shall compare those results to the benchmark values in Table 3. Exceedences of benchmark values require the permittee to increase monitoring, increase management actions, increase record keeping, send the monthly monitoring results to the appropriate Regional Office, and/or install stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs) in a tiered program. See below the descriptions of tiered response actions. Table 3. Benchmark Values for Stormwater Discharges Discharge Characteristics Berichmai•k Values,.

If the turbidity exceeds these levels as a result of stormwater discharges, the permittee must immediately institute Tier 2 response actions, including monthly monitoring of all stormwater discharge outfalls to the receiving waters. The permit allows the permittee to monitor turbidity in the effluent or up- and downstream of the discharge point; however, the permittee should consider regular turbidity sampling up- and downstream of the discharge(s) when feasible to ensure compliance with water quality standards. If: The first valid sampling results are above a benchmark value, or outside of the benchmark range, for any parameter at any outfall; Then: The permittee shall 1. Conduct a stormwater management inspection of the facility within two weeks of receiving sampling results. 2. Identify and evaluate possible causes of the benchmark value exceedence. 3. Identify potential and select the specific: source controls, operational controls, or physical improvements to reduce concentrations of the parameters of concern, or to bring concentrations within the benchmark range. 4. Implement the selected actions within two months of the inspection. 5. Record each instance of a Tier One response in the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan. Include the date and value of the benchmark exceedence, the inspection date, the personnel conducting the inspection, the selected actions, and the date the selected actions were implemented. 6. Send all monitoring results for that sample period to the appropriate DWQ Regional Office. Part III Page 7 of 16 Pages Permit No. NCG020000 If: During the term of this permit, the first valid sampling results from two (2) consecutive monitoring periods are above the benchmark values, or outside of the benchmark range, for any specific parameter at a specific discharge outfall; Then: The permittee shall 1. Repeat all the required actions outlined above in Tier One. 2. Immediately institute monthly monitoring for all parameters at every outfall where a sampling result exceeded the benchmark value for two (2) consecutive samples. Monthly (analytical and qualitative) monitoring shall continue until three (3) consecutive samples are below the benchmark values or within the benchmark range. 3. Send all monthly monitoring to the appropriate DWQ Regional Office. 4. If no discharge occurs during the sampling period, the permittee is required to record "No Flow" or "No Discharge" in the SPPP for the sampling the period to comply with monthly monitoring requirements and must submit reports in accordance with this permit. 5. Maintain a record of Tier Two responses in the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan. Tier..--T- e. During the term of this permit, if the valid sampling results required for the permit monitoring periods exceed the benchmark value, or are outside the benchmark range, for any specific parameter at any specific outfall on four (4) occasions, the permittee shall notify the DWQ Regional Office Supervisor in writing within 30 days of receipt of the fourth analytical results. DWQ may but is not limited to: • Require that the permittee revise, increase, or decrease the monitoring frequency for the remainder of the permit; • Rescind coverage under the General Permit, and require that the permittee to apply for an individual stormwater discharge permit; • Require the permittee to implement in -stream Turbidity Monitoring (U,D) • Require the permittee to install or modify structural stormwater controls; or • Require the permittee to implement other stormwater control measures SECTION C: ON -SITE VEHICLE MAINTENANCE MONITORING REQUIREMENTS (STORMWATER DISCHARGES) Facilities which have any on -site vehicle maintenance activity that uses more than 55 gallons of new motor oil per month when averaged over the calendar year shall perform analytical monitoring as specified below in Table 4. This monitoring shall be performed at all outfalls discharging stormwater runoff from vehicle maintenance areas, and in accordance with the Part III Page 8 of 16 Pages Permit No. NCG020000 schedule presented in below. All analytical monitoring shall be performed during a representative storm event as defined for this General Permit, unless adverse weather conditions prevent sample collection during the sample collection period. Inability to sample due to adverse weather conditions must be documented in the SPPP with date, time and written narrative (see Adverse Weather in Definitions) and reported on the Annual Summary DMR.

Grab samples shall be collected within the first 30 minutes of discharge. 3. Sample Location: Samples shall be collected at each stormwater discharge outfall (SDO) that discharges stormwater runoff from area(s) where vehicle maintenance activities occur. 4. For each sampled representative storm event the total precipitation must be recorded. An on -site or local rain gauge reading must he recorded. 5. Total flow shall be: (a) measured continuously, or (b) calculated based on the amount of area draining to the outfall, the amount of impervious area, and the total amount of rainfall, or (c) estimated by the measurement of flow at 20 minute intervals during the rainfall event. Total rainfall precipitation and duration of the rainfall event refers to the representative storm event sampled. In all cases, the permittee shall report (as required in Part IV, Section E.) the analytical results from each sample within the monitoring period. The permittee shall compare those results to the benchmark values in Table 5. Exceedences of benchmark values require the permittee to increase monitoring, increase management actions, increase record keeping, send the monthly monitoring results to the appropriate Regional Office, and/or install stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs) in a tiered program. The permittee shall comply with the required tiered response actions identified above. Table 5.

A copy of any letter granting ROS shall be kept on site. 2. For any outfalls represented by SDOs with representative status for qualitative monitoring, qualitative monitoring is only required annually instead of semi-annually. Representative outfall status (ROS) specifically for qualitative monitoring may be granted for some stormwater outfalls and must be documented by the Division of Water Quality. Qualitative monitoring for all outfalls represented must still be performed annually at a minimum. Qualitative monitoring records shall not be turned into the Division except when requested. Qualitative monitoring records shall be maintained on site as part of the SPPP. Part III Page 10 of 16 Pages Permit No. NCG020000 Qualitative monitoring is for the purposes of evaluating the effectiveness of the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP), assessing new sources of stormwater pollution, and prompting the permittee's response actions to pollution. If the permittee repeatedly fails to respond effectively to correct problems identified by qualitative monitoring, or if the discharge causes or contributes to a water quality standard violation, DWQ may but is not limited to: • Require that the permittee revise, increase, or decrease the monitoring frequency for the remainder of the permit; • Rescind coverage under the General Permit, and require that the permittee to apply for an individual stormwater discharge permit; • Require the permittee to implement in -stream Turbidity Monitoring (U,D) • Require the permittee to install or modify structural stormwater controls; or • Require the permittee to implement other stormwater control measures SECTION E: WASTEWATER DISCHARGES: EFFLUENT LIMITATIONS AND MONITORING REQUIREMENTS FOR MINE DEWATERING WASTEWATER & PROCESS WASTEWATER 1. MINE DEWATERING WASTEWATER Mine dewatering requirements apply to all mines that dewater from pits including quarries, clay brick, sand & gravel, borrow pits, and refractory mining, as well as mines with similar discharges. Note that for Construction Sand and Gravel or Industrial Sand mines, "mine dewatering" wastewater includes wet pit overflows caused solely by direct rainfall and groundwater seepage. During the period beginning on the effective date of the permit and lasting until expiration, the permittee is authorized to discharge mine dewatering wastewater controlled in accordance with the conditions of this permit. Mine dewatering activities that have the potential to drain wetlands or other surface waters must have secured and implemented a Pumping Operation and Monitoring (O&M) Plan approved by the Division. Pumping 0&M Plans shall include, but are not limited to; • Groundwater monitoring strategies to demonstrate the effect of pumping. • Detailed plans to maintain the surrounding hydrology that protects the affected streams and wetlands and the respective monitoring to demonstrate compliance. • The pumping regime deemed necessary to protect affected streams and wetlands. Alternative site specific pumping and monitoring regimes may be approved by the Division on a case -by -case basis. At the Division's discretion, approval of the Pumping O&M Plan may be required prior to coverage under this general permit. Analytical monitoring of mine dewatering wastewater shall be performed as specified below in Table 7. For each parameter, an effluent limitation is contained in Table B. An exceedence of any of these limitations is a violation of the permit conditions and may be subject to enforcement action as specified in Part 1V, Section A.2 of this permit. Part III Page 11 of 16 Pages Permit No. NCG020000 Mine Dewatering Treatment System ATC Requirement: Engineered erosion and sedimentation control (E&SC) structures that sufficiently treat mine dewatering wastewater so that permit effluent limits are met and water quality is protected, do not require an Authorization to Construct (AtC) and may operate in accordance with Part 11, Sections A and B. Any additional treatment devices (other than erosion and sediment control structures) needed to meet permit limits and conditions are subject to Authorization to Construct (AtC) requirements. 2. PROCESS WASTEWATER Process wastewater includes, but may not be limited to, the water involved in the slurry transport, washing, sawing of mined material, air emissions control or processing exclusive of mining of sand, gravel and stone washing operations, dimension stone cutting operations, and air scrubbing and dust control operations. A) Overflow FromNon-Closed Loop Recycle Systems A "closed -loop" system is a wastewater recycle system where the only other water that may be added is either make-up water or precipitation that falls directly into the system. "Closed -loop" systems must operate at or below two feet of freeboard and must be designed to exclude stormwater runoff from draining into it. Non -closed -loop recycle systems may recycle water, but do not meet the above design criteria. During the period beginning on the effective date of the permit and lasting until expiration, the permittee is authorized to discharge overflow from the process recycle wastewater systems that are not designed as closed -loop recycle systems. Analytical monitoring of overflow from process recycle wastewater systems that are not designed as closed -loop recycle systems shall be performed as specified below in Table 7. For each parameter, an effluent limitation is contained in Table B. For the purposes of this permit, overflow refers to a discharge of process wastewater as a result of a precipitation event. Non -Closed -Loop Recycle System ATC Requirement: Non -closed loop recycle systems do not meet the requirements for closed -loop recycle systems and are not designed and operated with two feet of freeboard. Authorization to construct and operate requirements (Part 11, Sections A and B) are applicable to non -closed -loop recycle systems. B) Other Treated Process Wastewater Discharges During the period beginning on the effective date of the permit and lasting until expiration, the permittee is authorized to discharge treated process wastewater from mining operations. Treatment may involve conveyance through erosion and sedimentation control (E&SC) structures and/or other engineered treatment systems. Analytical monitoring of process wastewater shall be performed as specified below in Table 7. For each parameter, an effluent limitation is contained in Table B. An exceedence of any of these limitations will result in a violation of the permit conditions and may be subject to enforcement action as specified in Part IV, Section A.2 of this permit. Part III Page 12 of 16 Pages Permit No. NCG020000 Process Wastewater Treatment System ATC Requirement: Engineered Erosion and Sedimentation control (E&SC) structures that sufficiently treat process wastewater so that permit effluent limits are met and water quality is protected, do not require an authorization to construct (AtC) and may operate in accordance with Part I1, Sections A and B. Any additional treatment devices (other than erosion and sediment control structures) needed to meet permit limits and conditions are subject to Authorization to Construct (AtC) requirements.

Designated swamp waters can have a pH as low as 4.3 if due to natural conditions. 3. No limit in the effluent discharge applies, but turbidity in the receiving waters shall not exceed levels described below as a result of wastewater discharges. 4. The total volume of treated wastewater for all discharges combined shall not exceed 50 percent of the total in -stream flow of the receiving waters under 7Q10 conditions in HQW waters, including trout and PNA waters. The discharge shall not cause the turbidity of the receiving water to exceed. Water Quality Standards: 10 NTU freshwater streams, lakes, and reservoirs designated as trout waters 25 NTU all lakes and reservoirs, and all salt waters 50 NTU all other streams and surface waters If turbidity of the receiving stream exceeds these levels due to natural background conditions, the existing turbidity level shall not be increased. If the turbidity exceeds these levels as a result of wastewater discharges, the permittee must immediately institute monthly monitoring for all parameters. The permit allows the permittee to monitor turbidity in the effluent or up- and downstream of the discharge point; however, the permittee should consider regular turbidity sampling up- and downstream of the discharge(s) when feasible to ensure compliance with water quality standards. The permittee shall complete the analytical samplings of wastewater discharges in accordance with the schedule specified in Table 9. Failure to comply with quarterly m-onitoring in accordance with permit terms for any one calendar quarter immediately triggers monthly monitoring for all parameters for the remaining permit term.

Maintain quarterly monitoring during permit renewal process (unless an exceedence or failure to monitor prompts monthly monitoring). If at the expiration of the General Permit, the permittee has submitted an application for renewal of coverage before the submittal deadline, the permittee will be considered for renewed coverage. The applicant must continue monitoring until the renewed Certificate of Coverage is issued. 2. If no discharge occurs during the sampling period, the permittee must record "No Flow" or "No Discharge" within 30 days of the end of the three-month sampling period in their SPPP. No Flow" or "No Discharge" shall be reported on the Annual Summary Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMR). This DMR is to be submitted to the Division's Central Office by March 1 of each year. 3.' Monitoring periods remain constant throughout the five-year permit term (from January 1, 2010 to December 31, 2014). 3. OVERFLOW FROM A CLOSED -LOOP PROCESS RECYCLE (CLPR) WASTEWATER SYSTEM DESIGNED TO OPERATE WITH MINIMUM OF TWO FEET (2') OF FREEBOARD A "closed -loop" system is a system where the only water that can be added must be either make- up water or precipitation that falls directly into the system. The system must operate at or below two feet of freeboard. The system must be designed to exclude stormwater runoff from draining into it. During the period beginning on the effective date of the permit and lasting until expiration, the permittee is authorized to discharge overflow from closed -loop process wastewater recycle systems designed and operated with two feet of freeboard during normal operation. For the purposes of this permit, overflow refers to a discharge that occurs as a result of a precipitation event that over -tops the two feet of freeboard and is associated with any of the following: a) Sand, Gravel, and Stone Washing Operations b) Dimension Stone Cutting Operations c) Crusher Dust Control Operations No analytical monitoring is required for overflow from_closed-la_og1 rocess recycle (CLPR) wastewater systems designed to operate with two feet of freeboard. Closed -Loop Process Recycle Wastewater System ATC Requirement: Authorization to construct and operate requirements (Part II, Sections A and B) are not applicable to a closed -loop process recycle wastewater systems that satisfy these design criteria.

Authorized Facility Representative: Jeffrey Brown A. ' Date: / 4 - /!� - 16/ Z _- PART I -GENERAL FACILITY INFORMATION 1.1 Company Information Name of Facility: Type: Date of Initial Operation: Onslow Sands, Inc. Sand Mine 5/25/1995 Location: Accessed from the end of Three Bridges Estate Circle of Blue Creek Road, Onslow County, NC Name and Address of Owner: Jeffrey Brown 115 Atlas Brown Drive Jacksonville, NC 28540 1.2 Contact Information The designated person accountable for overall spill prevention and response at the facility, also referred to as the facility's "Response Coordinator" (RC), is the Plant Operator and Manager, John Mathews. Name Title Telephone Jeffrey Brown Owner Office (910) 346-8266 John Mathews Plant Operator, Mobile (910) 340-3087 Manager Office (910) 346-8266 1.3 Facility Layout Diagram Figure 1, at the end of this plan, shows the general site location for the facility. The site location map shows the area's topography and the location of the facility relative to waterways, roads, and inhabited areas. Figure 2 includes a detailed facility diagram that shows the mine layout, haul roads, stock pile areas and sediment traps. 1.4 Facility Location and Operations The sand mine is located on a 46-acre tract owned by Onslow Sands, Inc. The location of the facility is approximately 5 miles west of Jacksonville. The site is accessed from the end of Three Bridges Estate Circle of Blue Creek Road. Figure 1, at the end of this 4 plan, shows the general site location for the facility. The site location map shows the area's topography and the location of the facility relative to waterways, roads, and inhabited areas. Creeks to the North, East and West that eventually drain into the New River surround the property. The function of the facility is to mine sand. This process includes digging the sand up with an excavator piling it in stock piles. When dump trucks arrive a rubber tire loader is used to load sand into the dump truck. The facility does not have set business hours as it is used as needed. 1.5 Production Equipment No AST's or petroleum products of any kind are stored on -site. Fuel is delivered to equipment on site as needed. In the case that a spill would occur while fueling equipment, Onslow Sands will dig up the area of the spill and dispose of it properly. All equipment maintenance and service is done off -site at the shop located on 115 Atlas Brown Drive. Therefore spilling of oil or hydraulic fluid is not a hazard. 1.6 Proximity to Navigable Waters The facility is located within the New River watershed. All mine areas are sloped inward to catch any runoff so that it must flow into sediment traps before leaving the mine area. Four sediment traps are located around the perimeter of the mine area, therefore sediment will settle before water will leave the mine area and flow into surrounding wetlands. PART 2 - EROSION AND SEDIMENT CONTROL All mine areas are sloped inward to catch any runoff so that is must flow into sediment traps before Ieaving the mine area. Four sediment traps are located around the perimeter of the mine area, therefore sediment will settle before water will leave the mine area and flow into surrounding wetlands. Inspections Sediment traps are visually inspected weekly to make sure that they are functioning properly. Water being discharged should be clear and free of sediment. Sediment traps are also inspected, within 24 hours of any major storm event that results in a discharge. PART 3 - STORMWATER MANAGEMENT Significant Spill or leaks of Pollutants during the past 3 years: According to the mine operator, Onslow Sands, Inc has not had any leaks of pollutants in the past 3 years. Secondary Containment Secondary Containment is not necessary since no fuels or chemicals are stored on site. No AST's or petroleum products of any kind are stored on -site. Fuel is delivered to equipment on site as needed. Best Management Practices (BMPs) The mine sides are sloped so that stormwater will run back into the mine. Four sediment traps are located around the perimeter of the mine area, therefore sediment will settle before water will leave the mine area and flowinto surrounding wetlands. A rain gauge is kept on site. Benchmark Values for Analytical Monitoring Discharge monitoring shall be performed in accordance with the terms of the NPDES General Permit, NCG020000. Monitoring results shall be submitted no later than 30 days from the end of the monitoring period. Duplicate signed copies of all reports required shall be submitted to the NC DENR Division of Water Quality, Water Quality Section, ATTENTION: Central Files, 1617 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699- 1617. Cape Fear Sand Mine personnel will report orally any noncompliance within 24 hours after becoming aware of the noncompliance. Table 1.

PART 4 - SPILL PREVENTION AND RESPONSE PLAN The designated person responsible for spill prevention at Onslow Sands, Inc. is: John Mathews, Plant Manager Security A lockable steel gate with a padlock is used used to prevent access via the entrance road when the mine is not in operation. Equipment on site that could be used to control a spill + One Excavator • One Rubber Tire Loader Procedures for Handling and Reporting Incidents Person or persons responsible for observing the occurrence of a spill shall notify the proper personnel immediately as follows: It is the immediate responsibility of operating personnel to take immediate steps to safeguard persons, to secure operations, to protect property, and to avoid water pollution. Help should be requested as needed. In. case of fire, explosion, or release of hazardous waste or hazardous waste constituents that could threaten human health or the environment, the provisions of this section will be carried out immediately. Verbal Notification Requirements (Local, State, and Federal (40 CFR part110)) Any unauthorized discharge into air, land or water must be reported immediately to the State Police and the Emergency Planning Commission (1-800-858-0368) as soon as the discharge is detected. For any discharge that reaches navigable waters, or threatens to reach navigable waters, immediate notification must be made to the National Response Center Hotline (800-424- 8802) and the Environmental Protection Agency (1-800) 241-1754). Within 24 hours, facility field personnel must immediately verbally notify NCDENR's regional office 910-796-7215 during the normal workday - Monday - Friday, 8 a.m. - through 5 p.m. Outside of normal business hours, call the emergency hotline 1-800-858- 0368. This notification must be made regardless of the amount of the discharge. Spill Mitigation Procedures The following is a summary of actions that must be taken in the event of a discharge. It summarizes the distribution of responsibilities among individuals and describes procedures to follow in the event of a discharge. 1) Stop Flow Field personnel must determine the source of the discharge, and if safe to do so, immediately shut off the source of the discharge. 3) Stop the. Spread of Material Field personnel must determine the source of the discharge, and if safe to do so, immediately shut off the source of the discharge. This effort may involve dirt to dam up an area, or if feasible, immediately dig up any contaminated soil and store on plastic until disposal. Disposal Plan Any contaminated soil will be disposed of properly. Facility Drainage All mine areas are sloped inward to catch any runoff so that is must flow into sediment traps before leaving the mine area. Four sediment traps are located around the perimeter of the mine area, therefore sediment will settle before water will leave the mine area and flow into surrounding wetlands. Inspections Sediment traps are visually inspected weekly to make sure that they are functioning properly. Water being discharged should be clear and free of sediment. Sediment traps are also inspected, within 24 hours of any major storm event that results in a discharge. PART 5 - PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE AND GOOD HOUSEKEEPING PROGRAM No AST's or petroleum products of any kind are stored on -site. Fuel is delivered to equipment on site as needed. In the case that a spill would occur while fueling equipment, Onslow Sands will dig up the area of the spill and dispose of it properly. All equipment maintenance and service is done off -site at the shop located on 115 Atlas Brown Drive. Therefore spilling of oil or hydraulic fluid is not a hazard. Preventative Maintenance will consist of routine inspection of sediment traps and any silt fence used on site. PART 6 - EMPLOYEE TRAINING The mine employs only the mine manager who is familiar with this document, permit conditions and all mine operations. Any other employees who work at the site will be required to read this document. PART 7 - RESPONSIBLE PARTY The designated person accountable for overall spill prevention and response at the facility, also referred to as the facility's "Response Coordinator" (RC), is the Plant Operator and Manager, John Mathews. 9 PART S -PLAN AMENDMENT The permittee will amend the Plan whenever there is a change in design, construction, operation, or maintenance that has a significant effect on the potential for the discharge of pollutants to surface waters. The plan will be reviewed yearly to determine if any updates are necessary. PART 9 - PLAN IMPLEMENTATION The permittee shall implement the Plan and all appropriate BMPs the ensure that contaminants do no enter surface waters via stormwater that comes in contact with any unstabil1zed -overburden, raw materials, intermediate products, finished products, byproducts or waste products located on the site covered by this permit. Implementation of the Plan shall include documentation of all monitoring, measurements, inspections, maintenance activities, and training provided to employees, includuing log of the sampling data and of actions taken to implement BMPs.
