Case No. NOV-2009-PC-0753
Non -Compliance with Stormwater Permits NCG020403 and NCG020516
Garysburg, NC Mine
Northampton County
Dear Mr. Long:
A stormwater inspection was carried out on August 28, 2009 by Myrl Niseiy of the Raleigh Regional
Office (RRO) to determine compliance with the above permits and to gain an understanding of plans for
the future of the mine site. Your help during the inspection was appreciated.
The older of the two permits, NCG020403 expired in 1997, but was never rescinded nor renewed.
Annual fees were no longer paid after 2003. It appears that a more recent permit, NCG020516, may
have been issued 3/31/2003 to supersede or replace the first one. It, too, expired in 2004 without being
renewed, although annual fees continued to be paid through May of this year. As long as the Land
Quality (LQ) permit for this site remains open, these stormwater permits will also be kept in force.
During this inspection you stated that you intend to let the LQ mining permit lapse when it expires on
December 31, 2009. That being the case, both of the stormwater permits, are eligible for rescission,
based upon the site conditions observed during this inspection, as described below. Provided you
intend to cease mining, you may request rescission of the stormwater permits. Therefore, soon after
December 31, you must submit a letter requesting rescission of NCG020403 and NCG020516 to this
office (address in footnote) to begin the rescission process.
There were no previous inspections by DWQ at this site. Mining activity was terminated late in 2004.
When active, mine dewatering was taking place, an activity that required quarterly monitoring along
with semi-annual qualitative monitoring of the stormwater discharge point. No records exist to show
that monitoring took place. That is the reason this is a Notice of Violation letter. Enforcement for
failure to follow the permit would be in order if the LQ permit were remaining open. However, with
closure about to occur, this course of action will not be pursued.
The site topography is such that stormwater runs into the ponds created from the mining. Anyo�jscharge
would occur after the water travels through a long series of ponds and vegetated channels to NorthCarolrna

a release point at the northwest corner of the site. Self vegetation has occurred except on many of the
banks around ponds. However, any bank erosion would enter the pond and would not be an
environmental threat to Arthur's Creek, the ultimate receiving stream.
Again, please submit a request for rescission of these two permits once the LQ permit ends. If you have
any questions or comments on this inspection, please contact Myrl Nisely or meat 919-791-4200.

Permit: NCG020516 Owner -Facility: Henry B Long Inc
Inspection Date: 08l28/2009 Inspection Type: Compliance Evaluation Reason for Visit: Routine
Inspection Summary:
Stormwater permits NCG020403 and NCG020516
This 239 acre sprawling mine site has been worked by a series of owners since at least the 1920s. Henry Long has a
Land Quality permit for 19.4 acres that expires Dec. 31, 2009. He plans to allow that expiration without any renewal
effort. Much of the gravel taken was for construction of 1-85 and 1-95. The last active mining occurred in late 2004.
The site is a series of holes dug randomly in the search for acceptable material. The result is a great many ponds, large
and small. Some are connected, but many are not. The site has largely self vegetated except for the banks of many
ponds. Any bank erosion will simply go into the pond. There is no chance of sediment being carried offsite, as explained
further below. Learning of Mr. Long's decision to let the permit expire, Land Quality will make a return visit to determine
what reclamation activities will be required before the site is returned to the land owners Sand Ridge Development Corp.,
Inc, for leasing as a hunting and fishing site.
Rainfall is captured by the ponds, and if there is ever enough to leave the site, it travels through the ponds to the
Northwest end of the property to Arthur's Creek. There is considerable time and distance for settling of solids, and the
water travels through wetlands and other vegetation that further removes solids. There is no negative environmental
impact by stormwater discharging at this time. Once the LQ permit expires, these stormwater permits should be
rescinded.
Mr. Long mistakenly thought that sending in a stormwater tee every year kept the permits active. He relied on
consultants to handle permit details, but there are no records of monitoring. A Notice of Violation letter will be issued with
instructions for him to request rescission of both stormwater permits after the Land Quality permit expires.
