RE: Peyton Mine

Dear Mr. Wade:
RECEIVED
Nov 10101E
STORMWq ER PERMITTING
This letter is in response to your email to Elijah Morton and per our discussion on
October 31, 2014, concerning the above referenced project.
The existing abandoned mine/pond that the Peyton Mine will be pumping to is
approximately 135'± wide and 1240'f long at the water surface, per the image on Google Earth.
At the southern end of the pond, it is about 10' to the top of the pond and at the northern end, it is
15'-20' to the top. Using 3:1 sideslopes, the volume for an 8' rise of water, would be
1,612,416 CF = 12,060,872 Gallons. Assuming using dewatering pumps with 1,000 GPM
capacity, this would allow 200 hours of pumping time.
Per site inspection, there does not appear to be a gravity overflow/discharge point in the
existing pond. It appears that the existing water level is the natural water table and that any
water entering the pond infiltrates into the sandy soils.
It is anticipated that as the new mine pumps water into the existing pond, the water level
may temporarily rise, then slowly infiltrate into the ground. It is anticipated that leaving a 2'
freeboard, the large available volume in the existing pond will be all that is needed to keep the
mine dewatered. If it becomes evident that this is not the case, then an alternate pumping plan
would be submitted to NC DEMLR for approval.
As shown on the plan, there are two proposed subdivisions that are adjacent to the
proposed mine. Both subdivisions, Peyton Lake and Peytons Ridge, Section Vl, have been
designed and have received Erosion Control and Stormwater Permits.
On the Mine Site Plan, we have shown the two wetland areas that are closest (100'-115')
to the mine. There is another wetland area near Lots 283 and 282 of Peyton Lake

Subdivision, that is approximately 280' from the mine, and another wetland area in Lot 300 of
Peyton Lake that is approximately 250' from the mine. Attached is an Exhibit Map showing
more of the adjacent wetlands and subdivisions for your use.
The Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) and Pump Dewatering O & M Plan for
Peyton Mine has been revised to discuss wetlands monitoring. See the attached revised SPPP.

.?ice .,G1N��••�?'� ,
SCOPE �'• Ilk M. SilF,
The intent of this plan is to provide a detailed plan/guide for the Operation and
Maintenance of the Peyton Mine so that it complies with Part III Section A of the NPDES
General Permit No. NCG020000 for Mine Dewatering. This plan has been prepared by
Parker & Associates, Inc.
1. SITE PLAN
A. See the attached Exhibit I — Color Portion of Hubert USGS map, and Exhibit
2 --- Portion of Onslow County D.O.T. Map, and Mine Site Plan.
B. The Peyton Mine is a proposed sand mining operation only. Sand shall be
excavated and loaded directly into trucks and hauled off site to other locations. Loading
shall be performed with an excavator. Other than normal daily maintenance, all
equipment service shall be performed off site. No fuels or lubricants shall be stored near
or in the mining area. Excavated material is normally wet so dust shall not be a problem
in Irvine. The haul road shall be monitored and periodically dampened utilizing a water
truck when necessary to control any dust created from hauling operations. There shall be
no waste generated from this operation, therefore, no disposal plan is needed. The
possible pollutants to be concerned with are small amounts of fuel or hydraulic oil
created by a ruptured hose or pipe on trucks or equipment. This should not be a normal
occurrence but in the unlikely event that it does happen there always shall be someone on
site to minimize and contain the spill before it reaches any water source. Any
contaminated soils shall be removed and disposed of at a facility certified to treat soils.
C. See the attached Mine Site Plan by Parker & Associates, Inc.
D. There have been no significant spills or leaks at this location, therefore, no
corrective actions have been needed.
E. The discharge pipe for the dewatering pump shall be inspected daily when
pumping. The discharge line is located in close proximity to power source for pump and

♦ ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING + STORMWATER, WATER AND WASTEWATER SYSTEMS
+ FEASIBILITY AND DEVELOPMENT CONSULTING + GLOBAL POSITIONING SURVEYS + SUBDIVISION AND CONSTRUCTION PLANS

immediately after starting, pump discharge shall be evaluated to determine if any turbid
non-stormwater discharge is present. Pumping shall be performed only as needed and
never immediately after or during a rain event. Water shall be drawn from just below the
surface (6"-12") of the water to pump the clearest water. Visual checks for clarity shall
be performed each time pump is operated. Any foam, discoloration or unusual odor shall
result in immediate shut down of pump and discharge.
Samples shall be collected and analyzed by a certified laboratory as required in the
General Permit — NCG020000 and results shall be kept on site. Results shall also be
forwarded to NC DEMLR annually as required by the General Permit. At any time
sampling results exceed acceptable levels, discharging shall cease until conditions
become more favorable and samples shall be taken monthly for a period of one year or as
outlined in the General Permit. After such time, if levels have been consistently lower
than acceptable levels, samples shall be drawn on a quarterly basis at minimum or as
deemed necessary. Daily records shall be maintained on site recording times and amounts
of pumping as well as recorded rainfall.
2. EROSION AND SEDIMENTATION CONTROL
There shall be no gravity discharge of stormwater to the adjacent wetlands or
creek; therefore, there are no special erosion and sedimentation control measures. The
dewatering discharge shall pump to an existing pond/abandoned mine. The facility shall
be operated and maintained in compliance with the mining permit issued by the Division
of Energy, Mineral and Land Resources.
3. STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PLAN
A. All excavation and land disturbance shall be confined to the mine area with
only one controlled discharge source (dewatering pump). Natural grade in the area
prohibits stormwater run-on as all areas sheet flow to wetlands away from mining area.
No discharge of stormwater (pumping) shall occur until all solids have settled and water
is clear.
B. An inspection of mine slopes, entrance/exit, and stormwater protection devices
(BMP's) shall be conducted weekly or within 24 hours of any storm event by the mine
operator or other competent person. No discharge shall take place during or immediately
after a storm event. A rain gauge shall be kept on site and monitored and all rainfall
recorded. A record of inspections, deficiencies and corrections shall be recorded and kept
on site.
C. There shall be no bulk storage of any kind on this site.
4. WETLANDS MONITORING
The adjacent wetlands shall be monitored annually by a Soil Scientist to
determine if the mine dewatering is having a detrimental effect on the wetlands. A yearly
SPPP - 2

report shall be filed and kept by the mine operator. If it is determined that the wetlands
are being affected, a mitigation plan shall be developed by the Soil Scientist and
presented to NC DEMLR for approval.
5. SPILL PREVENTION AND RESPONSE PLAN (SPRP)
There shall be no bulk storage of any kind on site; therefore, there is no potential
for spills.
6. PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE AND GOOD HOUSEKEEPING PROGRAM
All equipment and trucks shall be kept in good working order and kept on a
regular maintenance schedule. Operators shall be trained and required to inspect
equipment prior to starting work each day and periodically throughout each shift.
Operators shall look for fluid leaks as well as potential leaks and shall not use equipment
if any problems are found. All equipment with any type of leak shall be removed from
mine immediately and repaired. Equipment shall be removed from mine and washed
periodically to prevent rainwater from washing contaminants from machine onto ground.
All equipment shall be checked by mine operator or qualified mechanic weekly.
7. EMPLOYEE TRAINING
Training for all involved in mine operation shall be required semi-annually. This
training will include safety, things to look for that could possibly contaminate water,
equipment inspections, and instructions on what to do if a spill occurs. All new
employees and anyone working in mine area shall be required to receive training before
entering mine. Training shall be provided by mine operator. Mine operator shall stay up
to date on new references and resources pertaining to mining safety and stormwater
management.
8. RESPONSIBLE PARTY
The mine operator shall be responsible for all mine and dewatering practices. He
shall ensure that all requirements are met and all records are up to date. The operator
shall be also responsible for training of employees and personnel.
9. PLAN AMENDMENT
The SPPP shall be reviewed annually and amended as needed and all changes
incorporated into training and Best Management Practices.
10. PLAN IMPLEMENTATION
The SPPP shall be implemented immediately upon approval and a copy
maintained on site. Additional copies of the plan and recorded data shall be provided
upon request. Information shall be kept on site for a minimum period of five years.

STORMWATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN (SPP� %%11111
AND PUMPING DEWATERING O & M PLAN P-�H C •,,��
FOR PEYTON MINE -
OCTOBER 2014 - 14 75
SCOPE Y M. S��,•`.
The intent of this plan is to provide a detailed plan/guide for the Operation and
Maintenance of the Peyton Mine so that it complies with Part III Section A.of-the.NPDES
Ifni
General Permit No. NCG020000 for Mine Dewatering. This plan has beenprepared by
Parker & Associates, Inc.
OCT 0 3 2014
1. SITE PLAN
VVAI E-,j R,
A. See the attached Exhibit 1 — Color Portion of Hubert USGS
2 — Portion of Onslow County D.O.T. Map, and Mine Site Plan.
B. The Peyton Mine is a proposed sand [Wining operation only. Sand shall be
excavated and loaded directly into trucks and hauled off site to other locations. Loading
shall be performed with an excavator. Other than normal daily maintenance, all
equipment service shall be performed off site. No fuels or lubricants shall be stored near
or in the mining area. Excavated material is normally wet so dust shall not be a problem
in mine. The haul road shall be monitored and periodically dampened utilizing a water
truck when necessary to control any dust created from hauling operations. There shall be
no waste generated from this operation, therefore, no disposal plan is needed. The
possible pollutants to be concerned with are small amounts of fuel or hydraulic oil
created by a ruptured hose or pipe on trucks or equipment. This should not be a normal
occurrence but in the unlikely event that it does happen there always shall be someone on
site to minimize and contain the spill before it reaches any water source. Any
contaminated soils shall be removed and disposed of at a facility certified to treat soils.
C. See the attached Mine Site Plan by Parker & Associates, Inc.
D. There have been no significant spills or leaks at this location, therefore, no
corrective actions have been needed.
E. The discharge pipe for the dewatering pump shall be inspected daily when
pumping. The discharge line is located in close proximity to power source for pump and
immediately after starting, pump discharge shall be evaluated to determine if any turbid
non-stormwater discharge is present. Pumping shall be performed only as needed and
EMAIL ADDRESS: TEXT MESSAGES TO: [e-mail] MAPS and PLANS TO: [e-mail]
t ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING t STORNIWATER, WATER AND WASTEWATER SYSTEMS
♦ FEASIBILITY AND DEVELOPMENT CONSULTING * GLOBAL POSITIONING SURVEYS t SUBDIVISION AND CONSTRUCTION PLANS

never immediately after or during a rain event. Water shall be drawn from just below the
surface (6"-12") of the water to pump the clearest water. Visual checks for clarity shall
be performed each time pump is operated. Any foam, discoloration or unusual odor shall
result in immediate shut down of pump and discharge.
Samples shall be collected and analyzed by a certified laboratory as required in the
General Permit — NCG020000 and results shall be kept on site. Results shall also be
forwarded to NC DEMLR annually as required. At any time sampling results exceed
acceptable levels, discharging shall cease until conditions become more favorable and
samples shall be taken nionthily for a period of one year. After such time, if levels have
been consistently lower than acceptable levels, samples shall be drawn on a quarterly
basis at minimum or as deemed necessary. Daily records shall be maintained on site
recording times and amounts of pumping as well as recorded rainfall.
2. EROSION AND SEDIMENTATION CONTROL
There shall be no gravity discharge of stormwater to the adjacent wetlands or
creek; therefore, there are no special erosion and sedimentation control measures. The
dewatering discharge shall pump to an existing pond/abandoned mine. The facility shall
be operated and maintained in compliance with the mining permit issued by the Division
of Energy, Mineral and Land Resources.
3. STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PLAN
A. All excavation and land disturbance shall be confined to the mine area with
only one controlled discharge source (dewatering pump). Natural grade in the area
prohibits stormwater run-on as all areas sheet flow to wetlands away from mining area.
No discharge of stormwater (pumping) shall occur until all solids have settled and water
is clear.
B. An inspection of mine slopes, entrance/exit, and stormwater protection devices
(BMP's) shall be conducted weekly or within 24 hours of any storm event by the mine
operator or other competent person. No discharge shall take place during or immediately
after a storm event. A rain gauge shall be kept on site and monitored and all rainfall
recorded. A record of inspections, deficiencies and corrections shall be recorded and kept
on site.
C. There shall be no bulk storage of any kind on this site.
4. SPILL PREVENTION AND RESPONSE PLAN (SPRP)
There shall be no bulk storage of any kind on site; therefore, there is no potential
for spills.
SPPP - 2

5. PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE AND GOOD HOUSEKEEPING PROGRAM
All equipment and trucks shall be kept in good working order and kept on a
regular maintenance schedule. Operators shall be trained and required to inspect
equipment prior to starting work each day and periodically throughout each shift.
Operators shall look for fluid leaks as well as potential leaks and shall not use equipment
if any problems are found. All equipment with any type of leak shall be removed from
mine immediately and repaired. Equipment shall be removed from mine and washed
periodically to prevent rainwater from washing contaminants from machine onto ground.
All equipment shall be checked by mine operator or qualified mechanic weekly.
6. EMPLOYEE TRAINING
Training for all involved in mine operation shall be required semi-annually. This
training will include safety, things to look for that could possibly contaminate water,
equipment inspections, and instructions on what to do if a spill occurs. All new
employees and anyone working in mine area shall be required to receive training before
entering mine. Training shall be provided by mine operator. Mine operator shall stay up
to date on new references and resources pertaining to mining safety and stormwater
management.
7. RESPONSIBLE PARTY
The mine operator shall be responsible for all mine and dewatering practices. He
shall ensure that all requirements are met and all records are up to date. The operator
shall be also responsible for training of employees and personnel.
8. PLAN AMENDMENT
The SPPP shall be reviewed annually and amended as needed and all changes
incorporated into training and Best Management Practices.
9. PLAN IMPLEMENTATION
The SPPP shall be implemented immediately upon approval and a copy
maintained on site. Additional copies of the plan and recorded data shall be provided
upon request. Information shall be kept on site for a minimum period of five years.

Ref: Morton Mine located off Hwy 24 in Hubert
Dear Mr. Parker,
The NCDOT document "The Skaggs Method for Determining Lateral Effects of a
Borrow Pit on Adjacent Wetlands" was used to determine the appropriate setback from
the wetland line to the borrow pit.
Pittman Soil Consulting performed a soil study to make certain that the Onslow County
Soil Survey map was somewhat accurate. This evaluation determined that the listed soils
on the soil survey were concurrent with what was indentified in the field.
According to the soil survey Norfolk, Baymeade, Onslow, and Leon soils are present in
the proposed mine area.
The provided topographic data survey showed ground elevations of 33-40' above sea
level in the mine area.
-For this evaluation we used the average of the low and high ground elevations
which was calculated to be 36.5' above sea level
-Average published seasonally high water table for each soil series( Norfolk 5.0'
bgs, Baymeade 4.5' bgs, Onslow 2.25' bgs, and Leon 0.5' bgs)
-Water elevation in the pit once the mining operation has concluded will be
approximately T lower than the published seasonally high water table
Using this data and the topographic map provided by Parker and Associates the following
elevations were determined for water in the proposed mine per each soil series versus
ground surface elevations in the adjacent wetlands.

SOIL

ADJACENT WETLAND

30
32.1
ONSLOW
36.5'
32.25
31.1
LEON
36.5'
34
31.1
Based on these calculations the elevation of the water in the pit for the Norfolk and
Baymeade series would be lower than the wetland elevation, and for the Onslow and
Leon series the water in the pit elevation is higher than the wetland elevation. For the
Leon and Onslow soil series flow will be from the pit into the wetlands, so a minimum
setback of 50' would apply. For the Norfolk and Baymeade soil series the water flow will
be from the wetland to the pit therefore the Skaggs Method will be used to determine the
required setback from the wetlands.
The Norfolk soil series is not adjacent to the wetlands, but the calculations were
completed.
The published soil data was input into the Skaggs Method model and the following
setbacks were calculated.(Average conductivity values were used for the various
horizons)
Norfolk-81.4 ft
Baymeade- 89.7 ft
The proposed setback to the mine as currently designed is I I0' from the wetlands at the
closest point(Leon and Baymeade series). This setback is more than sufficient to assure
that the mining operation will not dewater the wetlands.
Copies of the Skaggs Method calculations have been attached to this report.
If you have any questions please feel free to contact me at 910-330-2784. Thank You.
Sincerely,
R. Aayvwoodttman 11
