DWQ folks:
Gary and I are working on a partial release for Plums Pit (07-37) in Beaufort County. The release area isn't an issue,
however, there are a couple places where they have disturbed buffer that should not have been touched. One of these
areas was previousi determined to be an isolated wetland (in 2007). As such, they had the wetland delineated and
were supposed to keep a 50 foot undisturbed buffer around it. This isolated wetiand was surrounded by mine
excavation area.
Long story short, they have disturbed the area and were issued a notice on noncompliance. They have since had the
Corps out (see attached) and the Corps has determined that the area is not a wetland. I need to know whether DWQ
agrees that this isn't a wetland and how you want to handle this. Your call will probably affect how we handle things on
our end (whether they can modify to mine the area or whether they need to back off again).
I need to give them an answer by mid -November (say November 14).
I've attached the Corps determination, plus a couple of pictures Gary took of the area in question. If you need location
maps, etc. for the site or directions, please see Gary Novak.
Thanks,

Ashley,
The area shown on the map as .33 ac undisturbed area, the area shown was supposed to be undisturbed on
the mine map. But the operator did not stay away from that buffer and removed all of the groundcover and

began filling the area with spoil. That was one of the reasons we issued a Notice of Noncompliance on June 2,
2011.
Please call if you have any questions

NOI application is being returned to you. A copy of the renewal letter and COC for this mine from
February 7, 2005 is included with this letter.

continued compliance with NPDES general permit NCG020000, please update the mine's Stormwater
Best Management Practices (BMP) Plan to reflect changes resulting from this modification and be sure
to meet all other permit conditions. For example, the site may need to expand monitoring if additional
