On 9/7/2010, the Division of Water Quality received your request to rescind your coverage under
Certificate of Coverage Number NCG020612. in accordance with your request, Certificate of Coverage
Number NCG020612 is rescinded effective immediately.
Operating a treatment facility, discharging wastewater or discharging specific tees of stormwater to
waters of the State without valid coverage under an NPDES permit will subject the responsible party to a
civil penalty of up to $25,000 per day. It is the intention of DWQ that enforcement proceedings will
occur for persons that have voluntarily relinquished permit coverage when, in fact, continuing permit
coverage was necessary. If; in retrospect, you feel the site still requires permit coverage, you should
notify this office immediately. Furthermore, if in the future you wish to again discharge to the State's
surface waters, you must first apply for and receive a new NPDES permit.

Dear Mr. Dixon,

Subject: NPDES General Stormwater Inspections and Compliance
Dixon Pit
Certificate of Coverage No. NCG020612
Carteret County
A site inspection at the Dixon Mine Pit facility was conducted on August 18, 2010. This mine pit discharges to Broad Creek a class
SA, HQW (high quality water) water of the State. A file review indicates that the certificate of coverage (NCG020612) is active.
During our phone conversation on August 18, 2010, you indicated this pit has been inactive due to the slow down in construction
activities. You indicated an interest in having the NPDES permit rescinded. Enclosed is a Rescission Request Form for your
convenience. if you are interested in discontinuing mining at this location, please fill in the date the mine pit was closed. Sign and
date the form and send it to the address highlighted at the bottom of the form. The Wilmington Regional Office will support your
rescission request based upon the fact that no current mining has been conducted. If you decide to pursue rescission and later intend to
resume mining, you may reapply for the NPDES Permit; however dewatering will he restricted to discharges to the wetlands rather
than directly to class SA/HQW waters of the State.
Should you wish to maintain an active NPDES Permit, please ensure the appropriate reporting is conducted and that any discharges
from the mine pit are properly monitored in accordance with the NPDES Permit language (see enclosed permit text). Currently, you
are not in compliance with your permit. An operation and monitoring plan will be required for the dewatering activities to ensure that
the discharges will not adversely affect the ability of the receiving waters to properly function as a Primary Nursery Area. Please note
that on January I, 2011, a written Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan will be required for this mine site.
I thank you for your time and attention to this matter. You can reach me at 910-796-7343. Should you have any questions concerning
this correspondence, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Sincerely,
Linda Willis

Inspection Summary:
This mine pit could be a pit that eliminates discharges to SA/PNA/HQW classified receiving stream. The site has a large
poccosin wetland located to the west of the pit. Pump rates and frequencies could be managed such that no discharge
would occur to the receiving stream, but this will have to be managed and identified in accordance with an approved
operation and monitoring plan.

Since discharges of wastewater (Mine dewatering) from this mine are into waters that have been
designated as High Quality Waters (HQW) there are more stringent effluent limitations on Total Suspended
Solids than provided for in the General Permit. Attached to this copy of the General Permit NCG02000O.are
supplemental effluent limitations, these replace Table 9 from the General
Permit and are applicable to this facility.
If any parts, measurement frequencies or sampling requirements contained in this permit are unacceptable to you,
you have the right to request an individual permit by submitting an individual permit application. Unless such demand is
made, this certificate of coverage shall be final and binding.
Please take notice that this certificate of coverage is not transferable except after notice to the Division of Water
Quality. The Division of Water Quality may require modification or revocation and reissuance of the certificate of
coverage.
This permit does not affect the legal requirements to obtain other permits which may be required by the Division

Federal or Local governmental permit that may be required -
