Rogers Nursery & Landscaping - Rogers Nursery &

On 1011812010, the Division of Water Quality received your request to rescind your coverage under
Certificate of Coverage Number NCG020639, In accordance with your request, Certificate of Coverage
Number NCG020639 is rescinded effective immediately.
Operating a treatment facility, discharging wastewater or discharging specific types 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.
If the facility is in the process of being sold, you will be performing a public service if you would infonn
the new or prospective owners of their potential need for NPDES permit coverage.
If you have questions about this matter, please contact Brian Lowther at [phone], or the Water
Quality staff in our Washington Regional Office at NPDES SW.

Dear Mr. Rogers:
Reference is made to your recent request for rescission of the subject NPDES General Permit. In your
letter received 2/1/2006, you stated that you have ceased mining and pumping water at this location. In
accordance with your request, NPDES General Permit NCG020341 is rescinded, effective immediately.
Operating a treatment facility, discharging wastewater or discharging specific types of stormwater to waters
of the State without a valid NPDES permit will subject the responsible party to a civil penalty of up to
$25,000 per day. Enforcement action will be certain 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.
If the facility is in the process of being sold, you will be performing a public service if you would inform

may cause off -site damage because of siltation, shall be planted or otherwise provided
with ground cover, devices or structures sufficient to restrain such erosion.
7. The affected land shall be graded so as to prevent collection of pools of water that are,
or likely to become, noxious or foul. Necessary structures such as drainage ditches or
conduits shalt be constructed or installed when required to prevent such conditions.
B. Existing vegetation or vegetated earthen berms shall be maintained between the mine
and public thoroughfares whenever practical to screen the operation from the public.
9. Sufficient buffer (minimum 20 foot undisturbed except for the placement of any
necessary screening berms or tree planting) shall be maintained between any
excavation and any mining permit boundary to protect adjacent property.
10. A. No on -site disposal of refuse or other solid waste that is generated outside of the
mining permit area shall be allowed within the boundaries of the mining permit
area unless authorization to conduct said disposal has first been obtained from
both the Division of Waste Management and the Land Quality Section,
Department of Environment and Natural Resources. The method of disposal
shall be consistent with the approved reclamation plan.
B. Mining refuse as defined by G.S. 74-49 (14) of The Mining Act of 1971
generated on -site and directly associated with the mining activity may be
disposed of in a designated refuse area. All other waste products must be
disposed of in a disposal facility approved by the Division of Waste
Management. No petroleum products, acids, solvents or their storage containers
or any other material that may be considered hazardous shall be disposed of
within the permitted area.
C. For the purposes of this permit, the Division of Land Resources considers the
following materials to be "mining refuse" (in addition to those specifically listed
under G.S. 74-49 (14) of the N.C. Mining Act of 1971):
1. on -site generated land clearing debris
2. conveyor belts
3. wire cables
4. v-belts

page 5
5. steel reinforced air hoses
6. drill steel
D. If mining refuse is to be permanently disposed within the mining permit
boundary, the following information must be provided to and approved by the
Division of Land Resources prior to'commencement of such disposal:
1. the approximate boundaries and size of the refuse disposal area,
2. a list of refuse items to be disposed;
3. verification that a minimum of 4 feet of cover will be provided over the
refuse;
4. verification that the refuse will be disposed at least 4 feet above the
seasonally high water table; and,
5. verification that a permanent vegetative groundcover will be established.
11. An Annual Reclamation Report shall be submitted on a form supplied by the
Department by February 1 of each year until reclarnation is completed and approved.
12. The operator shall notify the Department in writing of the desire to delete, modify or
otherwise change any part of the mining, reclamation, or erosion/sediment control plan
contained in the approved application for a mining permit or any approved revision to it.
Approval to implement such changes must be obtained from the Department prior to
on -site implementation of the revisions.
13. The security, which was posted pursuant to N.C.G.S. 74-54 in the form of a $12,400.00
Assignment of Saving Account, is sufficient to cover the operation as indicated in the
approved application. This security must remain in force for this permit to be valid. The
total affected land shall not exceed the bonded acreage.
14. A. Authorized representatives of the Division of Archives and History shall be
granted access to the site to determine the presence of significant
archaeological resources.
B. Pursuant to N. C. G. S. 70 Article 3, "The Unmarked Human Burial and Human
Skeletal Remains Protection Act," should the operator or any person in his
employ encounter human skeletal remains, immediate notification shall be
provided to the county medical examiner and the chief archaeologist, North
Carolina Division of Archives and History.

APPROVED RECLAMATION PLAN
The Mining Permit incorporates this Reclamation Plan, the performance of which is a condition
on the continuing validity of that Mining Permit. Additionally, the Reclamation Plan is a
separable obligation of the permittee, which continues beyond the terms of the Mining Permit.
The approved plan provides:
Minimum Standards As Provided By-G.S. 74-53
1. The final slopes in all excavations in soil, sand, gravel and other unconsolidated
materials shall be at such an angle as to minimize the possibility of slides and be
consistent with the future use of the land.
2. Provisions for safety to persons and to adjoining property must be provided in all
excavations in rock.
3. All overburden and spoil shall be left in a configuration which is in accordance with
accepted conservation practices and which is suitable for the proposed subsequent use
of the land.
4. No small pools of water shall be allowed to collect or remain on the mined area that are,
or are likely to become noxious, odious or foul.
5. The revegetation plan shall conform to accepted and recommended agronomic and
reforestation practices as established by the North Carolina Agricultural Experiment
Station and the North Carolina Forest Service.
6. Permittee shall conduct reclamation activities pursuant to the Reclamation Plan herein
incorporated. These activities shall be conducted according to the time schedule
included in the plan, which shall to the extent feasible provide reclamation simultaneous
with mining operations and in any event, provide reclamation at the earliest practicable
time after completion or termination of mining on any segment of the permit area and
shall be completed within two years after completion or termination of mining.
RECLAMATION CONDITIONS:
1. Provided further, and subject to the Reclamation schedule, the planned reclamation
shall be to restore the mine excavation to a lake area and to grade and revegetate the
adjacent disturbed areas.
2. The specifications for surface gradient restoration to a surface suitable for the planned
future use are as follows:
A. The lake area shall be excavated to maintain a minimum water depth of four feet
measured from the low water table elevation.
