Farrow Mine Inspection of May 4, 2012
Thom Edgerton, Roberto Scheller and me inspected Farrow Mine on Thursday, May 4, 2012. We met on
site with Mr. Farrow and Mr. George Wood (his consultant).
On August 30, 2010, Mr. Farrow proposed to expand large pit in southerly direction. The original
comment from me was that it is OK with us because we did not receive sufficient information. This call
was revised after conversation with DI_R and at that point we asked for all necessary permits to impact
wetlands to be secured.
Than Mr. Farrow revised his request on Novemebr 30, 2010. We (DWQ) did not receive this revised
request. I found it in DLR files after talking to Gary Novak. I made a copy of this revised submittal. The
new proposal was smaller in scale but still proposed to dig into the wetlands. I told Gary that we will still
require all necessary permit from USACOE and DWQ 401 group.
On April 7, 2011 letter was mailed to DWQ stating that the last request (of November 30, 2010) was
being withdrawn.
The new application for modification was submitted to us on April 2, 2012, with a proposal to mine a
small 0.99 acre upland area to the southwest of main pond. In preparation to do inspection of this site
and by looking at Google maps I discovered that proposed modification of Nov 30, 2010 (one that was
withdrawn) was actually already dug by Mr. Farrow.
During our meeting I pointed out to both Mr. Farrow and Mr. Wood this fact and they told me that they
will proceed to revise existing pit layout on plans to include this unpermitted dig, I also told them that
since no records in file exist for last 10 years or so, that we will not act upon this expansion.
Than we started discussing the new small pit proposal. The proposal did not include any buffers
between the excavation and the surrounding wetlands and it did not include any details about pumping
regime and details. I requested the information and Mr. Wood said that he will work on creating one.
He said he will submit something to me within a few days. His idea was to dig one settling basin in
vicinity of the new pit and than pump from there to dog leg shaped pond which will again bring water
around and recharge the surrounding wetlands. Robert agreed that this would acceptable from 401
standpoint. The point to discuss more is require or not buffer between the pit and the wetlands.
Mr. Farrow has on site an old dredge that he is not using for couple of years. He is in process of selling it
and he will be digging with an excavator.
At the place close to stockpile area, some sediment is leaving the uplands and being deposited in
wetlands. Mr. Farrow constructed a check dam to prevent this from happening.
He will also armor the approach road and crossing to prevent erosion. The erosion was happening
during last hurricanes. Mr. Farrow is not doing any analytical or qualitative monitoring. Mr. Wood told
me that he will start doing this.

Dare County
Dear Mr. Farrow:
As result of an expansion review process, on May 3, 2012, Mr. Samir Dumpor, Mr.
Thom Edgerton and Mr. Roberto Scheller with the Division of Water Quality inspected the
Farrow Mine located at along highway 12 between Water Association Road and Lassiter Lane in
Frisco, Dare County, NC. Mr. Dumpor and Mr. Edgerton and Mr. Scheller met on site with Mr.
Joseph Farrow, the owner of the Farrow Mine and his consultant Mr. George Wood and
conducted a site inspection of the subject site to discuss possible impacts to wetlands associated
with newest expansion request and to determine compliance with permit NCG020485.
On January 1, 2010, Mr. Joseph Farrow was issued a renewal permit number
NCG100182 according to G.S. 143-215.1 for the Farrow Mine facility to allow the discharge of
wastewater and stormwater to: the surface waters of North Carolina, namely to receiving waters
designated as an unnamed tributary to Pamlico Sound, a class SA, NSW water in Pasquotank
River Basin.
The following things were discussed and agreed upon:
In order not to impact adjoining wetlands some changes to current proposal for expansion are
necessary, namely to provide a settling basin for the new excavation and to develop the
Operation and Monitoring plan to explain in details pumping procedures and digging practices.
Since the current plans did not incorporate the most recent excavations, changes to said plans
were requested as well. Please be reminded to take extreme caution not to exceed limits of
excavation since the limits are set at wetlands line (with no buffer). Mr. George Wood expressed

Dear Ms. Wehner,

M AY - 7 2012
DWQ-WARD
This letter is with reference to the modification to the Mining Permit for the Farrow Mine, Permit Number 28-09 and
in response to your request of April 23, 2012 for additional information.
On May 3, 2012, Mr. Farrow and l met with Samir Dumpor, Roberto Schellar, and Tom Edgerton with the
North Carolina Division of Water Quality and discussed the existing dewatering practice at the mine and the
proposed plan for the expansion pit, Mr. Dumpor suggested that we reroute the discharge pipe to the
"Former Borrow Pit" as shown on the plan. This location, coupled with the pump schedule detailed in the
Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan and Dewatering Plan, will result in recharge to the adjacent wetlands
that will result in recovery of the temporary cone of depression and avoid impacts to adiacent wetlands.
This discharge location was preferred by DWQ representatives because of its proximity to the area being
dewatered and is an appropriate area for a settling basin of the pump discharge. The plan has also been
revised to provide a dewatering area where any water from the excavated material will flow back into the
pit. A stockpile area has been designated on the plat.
2. The Operational and Management Plan as described in the Dewatering Plan will avoid impacts to wetlands
that are closer than 50 feet to the mine expansion. This mine has been dewatered periodically since
approval in 2000 utilizing this technique with no adverse impacts to the adjoining wetlands. A silt fence
will be installed around the stockpile area that is adjacent to wetlands.
3. The off -site materials that were on the site have been removed and property disposed. The mine site will
not receive nor store off -site generated materials.
4. A check dam has been installed for the haul road.
5. The mine plat has been modified to accurately reflect the actual field conditions.
6. NCDWQ is currently reviewing the plan, and a copy of this letter along with attachments will be sent to
DWQ to allow them to conclude their review.
t trust this information is sufficient for continued processing of the application.
Sincerely,

STORMWATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN
(FARROW MINE)
DESCRIPTION OF SITE:
The Farrow Mine site is located south of SR 1269 (Water Plant Road) and south of Highway 12 between
the town of Buxton and Frisco North Carolina.
The Farrow Mine is an existing 100.52-acre permitted mine site which engages in the mining of sand for
use on the south end of Hatteras Island. Generally sand is mined by long reach excavator and either placed
in a dump truck for immediate use or stockpiled on an upland storage site for later use. The existing permit
authorizes dewatering 10 feet below existing ground level. In all options, sand is mined damp; therefore,
dust creation is minimal. The haul road utilized to take sand off site is monitored for dust and is watered
down by a water truck when needed. The only waste generated on site are trees and stumps from land
clearing for new mining areas. Marketable trees are cut and taken to the mill. Land clearing debris is
stockpiled and burned on site or hauled to the County Waste Disposal Facility. Stormwater runoff from
active mine areas flow back into the mining pit or to the check dam as shown on the plan.
SPILLS OR LEAKS OF POLLUTANTS:
No spills or leaks of pollutants have occurred at the facility in the history of the mine site, No pollutants,
fuels, or chemicals are stored on site.
MANAGEMENT PRACTICES:
The existing mine site can be put into two categories: 1) active mine areas and 2) undisturbed areas.
Active mine areas are the actual areas where sand is being mined and stockpiled and hauled off site. These
disturbed areas on this site would be of most importance for the management of stormwater. Undisturbed
areas are the heavily vegetated areas that have not been included in the active areas and will remain
undisturbed until the active areas need to expand or moved to another location. The management practice
in this situation is to, only clear land as necessary for the expansion of the sand mine.
All sand mining activities are within their permitted boundaries and have undisturbed vegetative buffer to
adjoining properties.
FEASIBILITY STUDY OF OPERATIONS AND/OR STORAGE PRACTICES:
Mining Options:
- Backhoe — Digging Sand from a Pit by Sackhoe: This option is preferred initially at the
surface; however, the reach of the backhoe limits where the sand can be stockpiled and the depth to
which sand can be excavated.
- Long Reach Excavator: Digging sand from a pit by long reach excavator is a more costly form of
mining but is the method used after the pit is temporarily dewatered.
- Dewatering: Digging sand from a pit by dewatering is a more efficient and less costly form of
mining. In this case, water is pumped out of the borrow pit into an adjacent area within the
permitted mine site. This process allows equipment to work within the pit to remove drier sand that
can be hauled off site eliminating the need to stockpile saturated sand for drying. This process also
eliminates the need for larger upland areas to be cleared for stockpiling sand.

DEWATERING PLAN:
The contractor operates the dewatering pump:
initially at 1,600 rpm at 2,000 gallons per minute until the pit is lowered to no more than 10 feet.
The water is discharged through a pipe along the haul road into an open water area that was
formerly a borrow pit. This water enters the shallow water table and hydrates the surrounding
wetland areas or sheet flows through the wetlands.
to maintain the mining level, the pump may be operated at 1,000 rpm at 1,250 gallons per
minute as needed, 8 hours a day or Monday, Wednesday, Friday, 12 hours each day,
by turning the pump off after the sand is excavated to allow the temporary cone of depression to
recover and avoid impacts to adjacent wetlands.
FUELING OPERATIONS:
Fuel is brought in by truck to fuel the equipment. The equipment fueling occurs in the stockpile areas. No
fuels or chemicals are stored on site, and any spills or leaks from equipment are confined to the existing
mining pit. If the pit was being dewatered at that time, the pump is shut off to keep any contamination that
might enter the pit contained within the pit until cleaned up.
SPCC AND SPRP PLAN.
There is no bulk storage of fuels or chemicals on site; however, spills or leaks from fueling may occur and
will be handled as follows:
1. Fueling is performed in the active mine areas — stockpile area.
2. Any spills or leaks will be contained within the mining site.
I Dick Farrow is notified of any spills or leaks.
4. Shut off any dewatering pumps.
5. Contain and clean up spill.
PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE AND GOOD HOUSEKEEPING PRACTICES:
1. Equipment is inspected daily before use and fueling, and any required maintenance is
performed.
2. If equipment is found defective, it is removed from the site for repair.
EMPLOYEE TRAINING:
I. Employees are trained of notification procedures should a leak or spill occur. They are to
contact Mr. Dick Farrow.
RESPONSIBLE PARTY.
1. The responsible party for this mine site is Mr. Dick Farrow. All employees report to
Mr. Farrow.

APPLICATION FOR A MINING PERMIT
5. a. A buffer will be required between any mining activity and any mining permit boundary or right-of-
way. It may be an unexcavated buffer (no excavation, but roadways, berms and erosion &
sedimentation control measures may be installed within it), an undisturbed buffer (no disturbance
within the buffer whatsoever), or a combination of the two, depending upon the site conditions. Note
that all buffers must be located within the mining permit boundaries.
How wide a buffer will be maintained between any mining activity and any mining permit boundary
or right-of-way at this site? A minimum buffer of 25 feet is recommended, although a wider buffer
may be needed depending on site conditions. Show all buffer locations and widths on the mine
map(s).
The total width of buffers is 25 ft. This includes a 10 ft. unexcavated buffer and a 15 ft. vegetated
buffer. The 25 ft. buffer, is also shown along NC 12 right-of-way,
b. A minimum 50 foot wide undisturbed buffer will be required between any land disturbing activities
within the mining permit boundaries and any natural watercourses and wetlands unless smaller
undisturbed buffers can be justified. Depending on site conditions, a buffer wider than 50 feet may
be needed.
How wide an undisturbed buffer will be maintained between any land disturbing activities within the
mining permit boundaries and any natural watercourses and wetlands at this site? Show all buffer
locations and widths on the mine map(s).
50 feet
6. a. Describe methods to prevent landslide or slope instability adjacent to adjoining permit boundaries
during mining. Minimum 2 horizontal to 1 vertical slopes or flatter for clayey material and

Please find enclosed is Mr. Farrow's pump and monitoring plan. He intends to mine pond #3which
is the most easterly pit. The pit is approximately one acre in size and is eight to ten feet deep. Mr.
Farrow plans on dewatering the pit to approximately fifteen feet below MSL and pump the water into
a rim ditch that is between the mine area and the wetlands and well fields. The rim ditch will be
approximately five feet deep and eight feet wide. Mr. Farrow plans on keeping the rim ditch full at
all times with the overflow going to the wetlands and into pond 92. With this, Mr. Farrow should
keep the hydrology fairly constant with minimal impacts to the wetlands. The mine is approximately
1,500 feet from the well field. Mr. Farrow has stated that Mr. Tom Walker, U.S. Corp of Engineers,
had been to the site and saw no problems with his dewatering proposal.
This office recommends approval of the pump and monitoring plan with the following conditions:
1. Monitoring of the well shall take place on a weekly basis.
2. The water from the rim ditch shall sheet flow into the wetlands.
If you should have any questions, please call.

§� QUAM `"'S4
I have no comments on the letter to Mr. Farrow dated January 6, 206 from Mr. Charles Gardner.
My inspection on January 6, 2000, revealed that Mr. Farrow had not dewaterred since October 1999.
He had recently purchased a dredge and is presently using it to mine the sand at his mine site. His
operation dredges sand from the southwest pit and stockpiles it to the south of his mine site. The
water from the dredge spills back into the northeast pit. At this time, Mr. Farrow has to pump water
from the north east pit to the southwest pit in -order to equalize the water levels. He plans to install
a culvert between the two pits in -order to equalize water levels. From my inspection it appeared that
Mr. Farrow was following his permits.

Charles/Coleen:
I called George Wood (Joseph Farrow's consultant) today at 2:15 pm. I
told him that I had received his fax on 12/23/1999, that indicated that
no more pumping/mine dewatering would take place onsite. I asked him to
explain his/his client's intentions in more detail.
Mr. Wood indicated that the approved dewatering schedule in the DWQ
permit was not feasible to allow mining of sand at the site. He
indicated that they tried to determine a schedule that would be
economical for Mr. Farrow and were unsuccessful. As a result, Mr.
Farrow had an opportunity shortly before Christmas to purchase a
hydraulic dredge and wanted Mr. Wood to check with DLR to make sure that
he could go back to dredging at the site ... that's the reason for the
fax.
I then asked Mr. Wood if the dewatering/pumping was ceased for good. He
said "yes", for all practical purposes... unless some method could be
found down the road (at which time they would approach both DLR and DWQ
to "reapply" for dewatering). I read Mr. Wood the attached letter I had
drafted for Charles last week and asked if it would be acceptable to Mr.
Farrow. Mr. Wood said it would be fine.
I told Mr. wood that I would hold the letter until I receive information
from DWQ on the results of its investigation of this issue (to be sure
that we are all on the same page). Mr. Wood concurred.
Coleen, can you let me/Charles Gardner know the results of DWQ's
investigation and how you plan to proceed with this matter. Any
feedback you may have on the attached letter would be welcome. Thanks.

Dear Mr. Farrow:
On December 23, 1999, this office received a memorandum submitted
on your behalf by your consultant, Mr. George Wood of Environmental
Professionals, Inc. The memorandum indicated that you have abandoned pit
dewatering activities at this site as approved by Mining Permit No. 28-09 and
the Division of Water Quality Certification No. 990388. In addition, the
memorandum indicated that you have returned to dredging sand from the
approved mine area per the conditions contained in the current mining permit.
As you no longer intend to dewater the mine excavation for sand
removal, this letter hereby rescinds any prior approval to allow such dewatering
under Mining Permit No. 28-09. Prior to initiating any future dewatering
activities at this site, you must apply for and obtain approval from both the
Division of Land Resources and the Division of Water Quality.
For clarification purposes, please be reminded that your mining; area
must be confined to the boundaries previously approved by this office.
Furthermore, no excavation shall extend beyond 20 feet below the natural
surrounding ground surface. Lastly, your permitted acreage at this site is
100.52 acres and the amount of land you are approved to disturb is 10 acres.

Mr. Farrow

Farrow Mine, Permit No. 28-09

In response to Stephen Webb's (DWR) memo this office has the following continents:
1. The monitoring wells are adequate to measure the water levels associated with the
surrounding wetlands. DWQ did not require specific installation requirements for the
monitoring wells when Mr. Farrow's pump and monitoring plan was approved. At this
time, we are not prepared to ask Mr. Farrow to install new wells.
2. Mr. Farrow can calculate water volume by pump times and should have no problems
doing this. However, pump times will not reflect the water that is discharged into the
surrounding wetlands and then is recharged back into the mine.
3. The hydrograph does shows impacts to groundwater levels. However, I do not see where
he can claim there are profound impacts on groundwater levels in a large area surrounding
the mane. There is not enough information or wefts on site to make this determination.
In summary, this information does not show what impacts may or may not occur with the
modification to Mr. Farrow's pumping plan. It also has not shown that his previous pumping has
caused an adverse impact to the surrounding wetlands since adverse impacts have yet to be defined_
Please prepare a response to Mr. Farrow's request for modification to his pump and monitoring plan.

SUBJECT: Request for Modification of Ground Water Pumping Plan at Farrow M1no,
Dare County (DWQ# 990388; DLR Permit #28-09)
With respect to Mr. Joseph D. Farrow's August 26, 1999 request for modification
to the ground water pumping plan for the Farrow Mine, the Division of Water Resourccs
(DWR) offers fallowing comments.
Mr. Farrow provided DWR with wafer level data from August 21, 1999 through.
A-cdw: 29, 1999 for the Farrow Mine's thrcc monitoring wells, A hydrograph prepared
from these data is attached to this memo. The hydrograph also contains a plot of the
WCOYcry curve for water levels in the mine pit after cessation of pumping. Based upon
review of these water level data, DWR draws the following conclusions.
First, the monitoring wells installed at the Farrow N[4nc are insufficient to monitor
water Ievel declines associated with the currem dewatering activities. Robert Tankard
(DWQ — Washington Regional Office) informed DWR that the wells are only five to six
feet dccp. Review of the hydrograph shows that Nvater levels declined below the bottom
of the screened intervals of the wells on August 24, 1999 and had not recovered to a level
above tho bottom of the screeds by August 29, 1999, According to Mr. Farrow's report,
he ceased dewatering the pit on August 24, 1999. With the existing wells, DWQ can not

obtain vital data concerning either the maximum drawdown associated with the currently
approved pumping plan, or the recovery curve in ground water levels xtl the wells after
pumping has ceased. Whether DWQ approves Mr, Farrow's modification request or not,
Mr_ Farrow should have to install new wells at the existing well locations. The new wells
should be constructed such that the bottom Of the screened intervals is located at the same
elevation as the bottom of the mine pit.
Secondly, in addition to his water level reports, Mr. Farrow should have to report
the volume of water pumped from the mine pit per day, and the exact times he begins and
—ping, each day, It is DWR's understanding that no one in DWQ knows even the
pumping capacity of the pumps Mr. Farrow is using to de:water the mine, much less the
actual discharge volume. It is possible to make a qualitative assessment of the pumping
impact based solely on water level data. However, DWR and DWQ could make much
more sound, quantitative znalyses of the impacts of current and proposed pumping if we
could equate the water level data with a daily withdrawal rate.
Third. DWR believes that the attached hydrograph provides ample justification to
deny Mr. Farrow's modification request. Over the period of record of the hydrograph,
water'levels dcclihed in the wells a minimum of two to five: feet. We will never know
what the actual maximum decline was due to the poor well construction described earlier.
Depending upon where the pumped water rwas being discharged, water levels in all three
wells show Some fluctuations. However, the overall trend of water levels in all three
wells -is downward.
Additionally, water levels dropped even further (to below the hottom of the
screens in all three wells) after pumping had ceased. This I ads DWR to the conclusion
thi.- ..- discharge of pumped water [o the swale and pond near the pit provide only
temporary, localized buffering to water levels against the effects of the pumping. This is
prO>ably due to the grosence of a loss permeable unit located between the level of
pumping and land surface. Such a unit would cause the water to drain horizontally
toward~ a discharge aroi due Lo its decreased vCrtical hydraulic; Conductivity.
Perhaps the most important thing to note about the hydrograph is that ground
water.levels had not recovered even to the bottom of the. screened intervals of the well;
after FIVE days of recovery. During this same time period. the water level in the mine

rase a reported eight feet. DWR believes that this indicates the tremendous size of the
cone of depression caused by even three days of dewatering the pit at the rate at which
Mr, Farrow is pumping. Even on the existing pumping schedule, DWR helieve's that
such long-term, large-scale water level deelincs could negatively impact the wetland
areas around the mine, especially given the fact that the discharged wetter i..s providing
only a temporary, localized buffer in the discharge areas. DWR believes the requested
two-day pumping cycle would have little benefit over non-stop dewatering of the mine
pit.
Additionally, a cone of depression of the magnitude indicated could cause
substantial doclinos of water gttality for those area residents, like Mr. Gary Dowdy, who
use private wells for their potable water supply. Mr. Dowdy reported having such
dc_'_- i - 3f n"atec quality during the period in which Mr. Farrow illegally dewatered the
sand pit late last year and earlier this year. Given the right condition,~, these water quality
declines could be severe enough to make the well water non -potable.
In conclusion, DWR reiterates its positions regarding the temporary dewatering
s-chedule at the Farrow Mine:
1. The monitoring wells at the mine are poorly constructed and inadequate for
monitoring impacts of dewatering on ground water levels, and subsequently
the hydrology, of the area_ DWQ should require Mr. Farrow to install new
monitoring wells at the existing locations. The new wells should have
screened intervals such that the bottom of the screens should be at the same
elevation as the bottom of the mine pit.
2. In addition to the water level reports required under the current pumping plan,
0WQ should require Mr. Farrow to also report the total daily withdrawal from
the pit and the exact tiYneti th"at the pumps are turned can and off.
3. The attached hydrographs provide ample evidence that dewatering activities
taking place at the mine are having a profound impact on ground water levels
in a large area surrounding the mine. Accordingly, Mr. Farrow's request to
increase the pumping frequency io a two-day cycle should be denied.
Approval of the modification would likely result in negative impacts to

Stormwater Pollution Prevention and Dewatering Plan (Farrow Mine)
Description of Site:
The Farrow Mine site is located south of SR 1269 (Water Plant Road) and south of Highway 12
between the towns of Buxton and Frisco North Carolina.
The Farrow mine is an existing 100.52 acre permitted mine site which engages in the mining of
sand for use on Hatteras Island. Generally sand is mined by backhoe, dragline, dredge, and either
placed in a dump truck for immediate use or stockpiled on an upland storage site for later use.
Mine dewatering is required for mining and is designed to meet the new NC Division of Water
Quality Guidelines. In all options sand is mined wet and thus dust is not created by this activity.
The haul road utilized to take sand off site is monitored for dust and is watered down by a water
truck if dust poses to be a problem. The only waste generated on site are trees and stumps from
land clearing for new mining areas. Marketable trees are cut, saved and taken to the mill. Land
clearing debris is stockpiled and burned on site. Stormwater runoff from active mine areas flow
back into the mining pit.
Spills or leaks of pollutants:
No spills or leaks of pollutants have occurred at the facility in the history of the mine site. No
pollutants, fuels or chemicals are stored onsite
Management Practices:
The existing mine site can be put into two categories; 1) active mine areas and 2) undisturbed
areas. Active mine areas are the actual areas where sand is being mined and stockpiled or hauled
offsite. These disturbed areas on this site would be of most importance for the management of
stormwater. Undisturbed areas are the heavily vegetated areas that have not been included in the
active areas and will remain undisturbed until the active areas need to expand or move to another
location. The management practice is to clear land as necessary for the expansion of the sand
mine.
All sand mining activities are within their permitted boundaries and have undisturbed vegetative
buffer requirements associated with the mining permits.
-No fuels or chemicals are stored onsite.
Feasibility Study of operations and or storage practices:
Mining options:
-backhoe- digging sand from a pit by backhoe. This option is preferred initially
at the surface however the reach of the backhoe limits where the sand can be
stockpiled and the depth to which it can dig.
-dragline- digging sand from a pit by dragline allows a greater reach by area and
depth. There is a stockpile staging area required for the sand to drain when it has
been dug below the water table. Sermed stockpile areas allow the sand to dry
before hauling off site. Runoff from these areas goes back into the sand pit.

July 16, 1999
-dredging- digging sand from a pit by dredging is a more costly form of mining
requiring larger upland spoil berms and areas to stockpile, however can be set up
as a "closed loop system' by allowing settled water to return to the pit.
-dewatcring- digging sand from a pit by dewatering is a more efficient less costly
form of mining. ,this case water can be pumped out of the borrow pit into the
adjacent wetland slough to rehydrate the wetland area This process allows
equipment to work within the pit to remove drier sand that can be hauled off site
eliminating the need to stockpile saturated sand for drying. This process also
eliminates the need for larger upland areas to be cleared for stockpiling sand.
The contractor would need to operate the dewatering pump:
1) initially run pump at 1,600 rpm at 2,000 gallon per minute until to a level to
maintain.
2) pump will be run to dewater the mine site for three days
3) pump will be turned off at end of three day cycle for seven days to allow the cone
of depression to recover and avoid impacts to adjacent wetlands.
Monitoring
Two shallow wells (10 feet below surface level at wetlands) will be installed at approximately the
locations shown on the attached plats. These wells will be surveyed for location and elevation
after installation to be included in the monitoring reports. The shallow wells will `connect' with
the surface water table and will be capped and grouted with bcntonite to minimize surface
infiltration. The wells will be monitored four times daily during the operation of the dewatering
pump and once daily during the subsequent recovery period. No monitoring will be
accomplished on weekends unless mining operations are active.
Reporting
Information from the monitoring wells will be reported to the NC Division of Water Quality on a
weekly basis (one week after 10 day cycle) until such time that the results either demonstrate a
need for a change in frequency of monitoring and/or reporting. Any change in protocol will be
submitted to DWQ and DLR for approval prior to modification.
With the exception of the dewatering option all stormwater is in sheet flow form and any runoff
from stockpiles and mining flows back into the existing pit being mined.
Fueling operations, -
Fuel is brought to the site by truck to fuel equipment. The equipment fueling occurs in the
stockpile areas or within the pit itself confining any spills to within the area of mining.
Stormwater is diverted/flows back into the existing mining pit. No fuels or chemicals are stored
onsite so any spills or leaks from equipment are confined to the existing mining pit. If the pit was
being dewatered at the time of an incidence the pump will be shut off to keep any contamination
contained within the pit until it is cleaned up.
SPCC and SPRP Plan:
There is no bulk storage of fuels or chemicals onsite however spills or leaks from fueling may
occur and will be handled as follows:

July 16, 1999
1) fueling is performed in the active mine areas -stockpile and mining pit.
2) any spills or leaks will be contained with in the pit as also with storm water
runoff.
3) notify Dick Farrow of the spill or leak
4) shut off any dewatering pumps
5) contain and clean up spill
Preventative maintenance and good housekeeping practices:
1) equipment is inspected daily before use and fueling and maintenance
2) if equipment is found defective it is removed from site for repair
Employee training:
1) Employees are trained of notification procedures should a leak or spill occur.
They are to contact Mr. Dick Farrow
Responsible Party:
F
1) The responsible party for this mine site is Mr. Dick Farrow. All employees
report to Mr. Farrow.

Modification of pumping plan
Attached please find a proposed modification of DWQ's previously approved
groundwater pumping plan for the Farrow Mine in Dare County. As you recall, the
previously approved plan allowed pumping for three days followed by seven days of non-
Fumliing as well as additional monitoring and performance criteria (see attached letter dated
18 tust 1999). Mr. Farrow has proposed to modify this schedule to have two days of
Pumping followed by two days of non -pumping. I have also attached a map that depicts the
location of the monitoring wells on the site as well as a recommendation from our
Washington Regional Office staff.
I would appreciate your comments by close of business on Thursday October 7"
sinceI plan to prepare a response to Mr. Farrow on Friday October 8`''. Please call Robert

1 visited the site on August 23 & 24, 1999. During my visit 1 saw no silplificant impacts while
they were'pumping. While on site, 1 took groundwater mcsasurements every two hours. Within
that time fume, the water levels in two wells had a net increase and one Mad a decrease of fifieca
inches. The reason for the increase in the two wells was that Mr. barrow was pumping, into a
Swale. The water did not exit this Swale via runoff but infiltrated into the ground. This water was
infiltrating into the ground about im fast as the pumps would pump the water. After the pumps
were shut 'off, this water took only minutes to soak into the ground.

While on•fite, Mr. Farrow took me to Mr. Gary Powdy's ponds. Mr. Farrow explained to rrte
that before they started pumping they measured the pond levels with a fixed point. This
measuremtnt was then duplicated daily while they pumped. While Mr_ barrow pumped, Mr.
Dowdy's F nds had an increase in water level from quarter of an inch to one inch. I believe the
main influence of these ponds is the wind tides. Adjacent to Mr_ Dowdy's ponds is a canal that is
eormectetl'to the sotmd. At my previous visit, the canal was somewhat dry and the ponds were
down a foot. The winds were from the southeast and Mr. Farrow was not pumping.
Mr. Farrow stopped pumping at twelve noon on August 21. Water levels were taken twice over
the next two hours. The water levels decreased approximately one to seven hundredths of a foot.
Mr. Faapw called the next day to say that the water levels had decreased significantly in all three
wells. He! also stated that the water levels in the mine had increased by two and a half feet. He
called the next day to say the water levels in the mine had uicreased five reel but the water levels
in the wells had not started to increase.

Memorandum
Farrow Mine Modification
August 31, 1999
Mr. Farrow has abked for a modification of his pump schedule for two nays on and two days o ff
because h6 cannot operate the mine on the three days on and seven days off pwnp schedule_ This
issue was'also mentioned in my previous memo to you rccommending approval. The Farrow mine
cannot operate regardless of the }pump schedule because of one of the conditions hi the approval
letter. The condition states that a drop in the water table of twelve inches may require the
immediate cessation oCpumping. With this condition is mind, this mine would not be able to
dewater in order to dry mine. It is also very probable that no axone within the State Could be able
to meet this condition and therefore the only way a mine could operate when it is located near
wetlands is by wet mining.
Please res nd to Mr. Farrow concerning his modification request.

Re: Farrow Mine

Dare County
This Is a request to modify temporary ground water pumping that was allowed
On August 18, 1999 by N.C.D.W-G?. fcr tine rarrow Mine, No, 28-M.
Refer back to the revised permission dated July 9,1999, sedtion 10:
T.MG regtOst Of madifiCatiW 18 to chango pumping from 3 days pumping and 7
days non -pumping to 2 days pumping and 2 days non -pumping. TW reason for the
request is that after the first 3 days pumping the vMt9r npWv" in 48 hrs, has been 5
feet, which makes It Impossible to work more than 1 to 1 V2 days. It would take
several iri0riths, at this rate, to comp[eta thin pf6ject which we were given only 2
mores to Complete. The cast for the oxtansled time would be 00 great wo would 0
unable to afford it. We are having to rant 1 additional pump at the cost of V2420.00
per week. Being only able to use the pump 3 days out of the week and with the rate of
the water return in 7 days we would nave to continue to rent this pump for every
pumping. With 2 days pumping and 2 days non -pumping we would no able to handle
the wat; .- with the 1 pump we alrea4y own.
We appreclate your immediate attention of this request for moddleavon_
Very truly ymrs,

Refer back to the revised permission dated July 9,1999, section 10:
The request of modification is to change pumping from 3 days pumping and 7
days non -pumping to 2 days pumping and 2 days non -pumping. The reason for the
request is that after the first 3 days pumping the water recovery in 48 hrs. has been 6
feet, which makes it impossible to work more than 7 to 1 112 days, it would take
several months, at this rate, to oomplete this project which we were given only 2
months to complete. The cost for the extonded time would be so great we would be
unable to afford it. We are having to rent 1 additional pump at the cost of $2120_00
per week. Being only able to use the pump 3 days out of the week and with the rate of
the water return in 7 days we would nave to continue to rent this pump fQr every

Farrow Mine expansion
Hi Mell,
Really, thanks for bringing this to our attention again. We appreciate it. I think this is a good example of inter -Division
cooperation, and I appreciate your key action in ensuring that result.
I've reviewed the DLR file for 28-09, the Farrow Mine expansion. Thanks for entrusting your files into my possession.
I'm always nervous about handing our files over to anyone outside the unit, so I appreciate your consideration.
I've spoken to Al Hodge and Samir Dumpor of the Washington Regional Office. Both have specific memories of previous
discussions and endpoints of those discussions related to the Farrow Mine expansion.
DWQ's response is that the excavation of 0.99 A of wetlands as proposed in Farrow's second expansion submittal of
November 30, 2010 (down from 3.05 A in the first expansion submittal) is a clear violation of NC Water Quality
Standards, and DLR should not permit the mine expansion into wetlands.
It appears that that the permittee's graphic representation of wetlands on the three submittals to DLR varied greatly in
their presentation of wetlands present. In the first original DLR permitting package, wetlands were clearly called out.
However, these original documents were not initially available to Samir, and he had to search for these maps in the DLR
files in WARD. In the August 20, 2010 expansion submittal for 3.05 A that Samir initially reviewed, the graphics were
presented with unclear, ambiguous delineation of the wetlands, and it was not apparent in our first review of the site
plan that Farrow was proposing to excavate wetlands. Subsequently Samir was able to review the original permitting
documents, and the existence of wetlands on site became apparent to us./_0_nN6v_emI5_e_r 30, 2010, the permittee then
resubmitted for only 0.99A , but still according to the site plan this expansion was to be accomplished by excavating
wetlands. The permittee's November 30, 2010 re -submittal does not address our key objection to the violation of NC
Water Quality Standards through the excavation of wetlands. It appears that the permittee is attempting to stay below
a federal threshold for wetlands impacts by staying below 1.0 A. However, that mechanism does not address the
authority of North Carolina's Water Quality Standards, which have no lower threshold of 1 A.

WETLANDS DRAINING POLICY
N. C. Division of Water Quality
Department of Environment and Natural Resources
Revised July 9,1999
BACKGRgMND
The N.C. Division of Water Quality (DWQ) in consultation with the N-C. Attorney
General's Office has determined that wetland water quality standards set forth at 15A NCAC
2B Q231(s+ee attachment) may be violated by activities that result in the draining of wetlands
such as ditching and groundwater pumping. For several years ditching of wetlands has
required 404 Permits and 401 Certifications which were conditioned to ensure that these
standards were met Recent federal court decisions have prevented the Corps of Engineers
from requiring 404 permits for draining of wetlands unless spoil is sidecast from the ditch into
wetlands. As a result, thousands of acres of wetlands have recently been drained in the coast<11
plain of North Carolina. This situation has forced DWQ to reexamine whether the
unregulated draining of wetlands is violating the state's wetland standards. DWQ ha.� adupted
the following policy to insure that activities that drain wetlands will not violate the writer
quality standards for wetlands.
DWQ intends to examine wetland drainage activities for compliance with the state's
wetland water quality standards, particularly those for hydrologic conditions necessary to
support wetlands function (I$A NCAC 2B .02310))(5) and biological integrity (15A NCAC 2li
.0231(b)(6)). `Drainage activities" include ditching and installation of groundwater purnping
systems that affect wetlands after March 1,1999.. If DWQ discovers any such "drainage
activities", DWQ staff will nodt' landowners in writing that their activity has violated or is
likely to violate tht ,-fate's wetland standards. The landowner will then be given a short time to
refute DWQ's findings. If these findings are not successfully refuted, DWQ will thitiaLC Oh
enforcement action and require that the natural hydrology be restored. The U.S. Army Corps
of Engineers has informed DWQ that in some instances, the filling of ditches may require the
issuance of a 404 Permit. The Corps anticipates that most such activities could be authorized
under Nationwide Permit 27. The Corps and DWQ will work to issue any require Permits
and Certifications in a timely manner in order to facilitate the expeditious restoration of the
natural wetland hydrology. Certification fees will not be required for wetland restoration
done as a result of an enforcement action ordered by DWQ although notification to DWQ is
required.

DIVISION OF WATER QUALITY:_ WETLANDS DRAINING POLICY, Revised July 7,
1. Any new or continued ditching after March 1"t' 19" is a violation of state wetland
standards unless as otherwise specified in this policy. Any ditches dug after March
1,1999 must be flied, using Nationwide Permit 27.
2. Ditches impacting wetlands that were installed prior to October 1,1998 are not
covered by this policy.
3. DWQ will not initiate a wetland standard enforcement action for drainage systems
installed before March 1,1999.
4. If the project is not in compliance with its Sediment and Erosion Control Plan
approved prior to March 1,1999, (i.e., the ditch sides were not appropriately sloped,
appropriate BMP's were not installed, ditching went beyond that which was
approved or was not installed as approved) and, os appropriate, the National
Pollutant Discharge Eliminsltlon System (NPDES) permit for stormwater discharge
associated with construction activities, then DWQ and DLR will examine the project
to determine which of the following actions may be appropriate:
a. bring the approved ditches into compliance without additional wetland fill,
except for sediment and erosion control measures approved by DLR, DWQ
and the US Army Corps of Engineers; or
b. fill in the ditch using Nationwide Permit 27.
c. DWQ and DLR will also determine whether to assess civil penalties.
5. Any ditch installed between October 1,1998 and March .1,1999 without an
approved Erosion and Sediment Control Plan, where required, is in violation of the;
Sedimentation and Pollution Control Act, NC General Statute 143.215.1, for failure
to obtain a NPDES st.ormwater permit, and may be in violation of water quality
standards. DWQ and DLR will examine the site and where appropriate the
,aadowner will be notified in writing and required to fill the ditch and restore the
natural hydrology. The landowner is also subject to possible civil penalties. If the
Division of Land Resources determines that any of these projects did not roquire a
Sediment and Erosion Control Plan, then these ditches are actable a5 ]Ong as
downstream water quality standards are protected.
6. Agricultural ditches that impact wetlands will be treated as any other ditches under
this polity. "Farmed wetlands" as designated by the Natural Resources
Conservation Service may be managed as desired by the owner without violating
wetland standards since these wetlands have severely altered wetland hydrology and
biological integrity.
7. Maintenance of ditches constructed before March 1,1999 is allowed if the original
dimensions of the ditch, when it was initially constructed are not exceeded.
Additions, including deepening, to any existing drainage system beyond

r ; JUL-09-1999 FRI 05.'12 PH DIV. WATER DUALITY FAX NO. 19197339959 P. 04
maintenance will be considered as a new activity if it drains wetlands. DWQ will
consult with the Division of Forest Resources in determining whether forestry
operations comply with this provisiolL
8. Ditches installed for silvicultural purposes after March 1, 19" must he part of a
)Forest Management Plan prepared or approved by a Registered forester and must
have water management structures in place that maintain the hydrology of the
wetland area. Thew structures may be managed to temporarily drain the wetland
during harvest, planting, and early tree growth for up to three years. If after the
threeryear period the wetland area is not reforested, the ditches shall be filled and
the wetland hydrology restored. Any significant alterations to the biological
integrity of the wetland are not allowed. For sites where ditching occurred between
October 1,1998 and March 1, 1999, and the landowner claims that the ditches were
installed for silvicultural purposes, the Division of Forest Resources and Division of
Land Resources will examine the sites to determine if they are eligible far a
silvicultural exemption from the Sediment Pollution Control Act,
9. ::..a istent with water quality regulations and DWQ policy, wetland draining
activities, which were allowed prior to March 1,1999, may be examined by DWQ
smff for compliance with downstream water quality standards including turbidity,
salinity, and dissolved oxygen. If the wetland draining causes violations of water
duality standards, DWQ will take appropriate enforcement action.
10. Temporary ground water pumping is allowed since it will not permanently alter
the wetland hydrology as long as the pumping is in compliance with the following
Best Management Practices. A maximuni of three days of pumping followed by
seven days of non -pumping is allowed. Following written approval from DWQ of a
monitoring plan, applicant shall also install monitoring wells along a transect or in
several directions of the pumping and supply data to DWQ for review in carder to
demonstrate the effect of the pumping. If these monitoring wells demonstrate the
adverse impacts of the pi roping on adjacent wetland hydrology or biological
integrity, the pumping regime shall be altered to rediuee the impact. The discharge
location for water shall be into adjacent, upslope wetlands as much as possible in
order to maintain their hydrology and must be shown on the applicant's plan. As
an alternative to this pumping and monitoring regime, DWQ may approve a site
specific plan which will protect wetland hydrology.

Please find enclosed Brad Shaver's and Groundwater' comments on the pump and monitoring plan
that is proposed at the above site. The plan as interpreted meets the criteria found in Water Quality's
policy on Wetland Draining, item 10.
In summary the plan proposes to discharge a small amount of water in an adjacent slough which
would create a water head between the mine and wetlands. This head may help to protect the
wetlands integrity to some degree. It may also serve to protect the integrity of the adjacent
landowner's pond. The plan also proposes to install two monitoring wells around the mine in order
to monitor the pump drawdown and recovery of the aquifer. The wells will be monitored four times
a day during drawdown and once a day during recovery. This plan meets the minimum BMPs that
are stipulated in Water Quality's policy.
This office also offers the following comments:
1. The dewatering of the mine will take approximately four days with a pump rated for
2000 gpm based on calculations of a 1.42 acre mine at a twenty feet depth. The pump
is large and would be operated 24 hours a day for four days at best.
2. The recovery of the water in the mine at seven days will be too fast for the mine to
operate. The mine would probably need to dewater after three to four days of
recovery. At this time the dewatering would be approximately a day. This would
allow the mine to operate and most likely minimize impacts to wetlands due to the
improvement of the cone of depression.

MEMORANDUM
Farrow Mine Pump and Monitoring Plan
3. Item 10 of th&policy talks about adverse impacts. These impacts are not clear and are
not defined. What are these impacts and when do we require altering the pumping
regime in order to protect the wetlands.
This office recommends the approval of the Farrow Mine Pump and Monitoring Plan for only the
1.42 acre pit which meets the BMPs per the Wetland Draining Policy. The mine operators
estimate that they will stop mining in this pit in approximately two months. At that time, the
pumping scheme and monitoring of this site could be evaluated.

Frisco, NC - Dare County
The Washington Regional Office Groundwater Section has reviewed the subject Pump and Monitoring
Plan for dewatering activities at the Farrow Mine. The plan appears to meet Water Qualities criteria set
out in the Wetlands Draining Policy, specifically item 10. A review of the information has produced the
following comments for your consideration:
1. The Farrow Mine has in the past dewatered the mine site 7 days per week, 24 hours per day to lower
the water table enough to extract sands from the permitted site.
2. The recently submitted "Stormwater Pollution Prevention and Mine Dewatering Plan" has proposed to
establish a modified dewatering operation of 2,000 gpm for approximately 3 days on and 7 days off, in
theory, minimize impacts to the surrounding wetlands and water resources. Additionally a surface pump
will be located along the north mine face to discharge water into the wetland area bordering to the north
and again in theory minimizing the impacts to the wetlands per recently revised Wetlands Draining
Policy.
3. Monitoring of groundwater levels around the mine is proposed by the installation of two wells. These
wells are situated such that one to the north is between the mine site and Mr. Gary Dowdy's property and
one to the south is between the mine and the Buxton Well field. The consultant will collect water level
monitoring data during dewatering, evaluate the drawdown ("3 days on") and recovery ("7 days off')
responses using the proposed monitoring wells and report the potential impacts to wetlands and water
resources during this temporary operation.
4. This current plan is for the short term and mining operations at this particular pit will be completed
within approximately 2 months. The Wetlands Draining Policy, revised July 7, 1999 (copy attached),
allows for "temporary groundwater pumping". Per the policy, if the monitoring wells at the site
demonstrate "adverse impacts" the pumping regime shall be altered to reduce the impact.
5. The plan was not signed and sealed by a Professional Engineer.

The following comments are offered concerning the proposed pumping and
monitoring plan:
1. Coastal Management should be notified concerning the mining activity in
order to evaluate any potential impacts to the Buxton Woods Reserve and the
well field AEC, which Iles adjacent to the mining activity.
2. According to condition #14 within DWQ's Wetland Draining Policy, if the
monitoring wells demonstrate adverse impacts on the adjacent wetland
hydrology or biological integrity, the pumping regime will be altered. The
present plan does not address how the biological integrity will be evaluated
during the drawdown period. The hydrology is being addressed with the
monitoring wells but the biological integrity is not monitored.
3. This mining activity could serve as an excellent opportunity to evaluate effects
within the coastal region. This information in turn would be helpful to evaluate
hydrological and biological effects for proposed future mines within the same
region.

DWQ staff has reviewed the plans for a revised mining permit for the Farrow Mine.
According to our wetland standards [(15A NCAC 2B .0231 (b) (5) and (6)],
the naturate hydrology of the wetland must be maintained. Based on available
information, we believe that ground water pumping to allow dry mining will result in a
cone of depression which will violate these standards. Therefore we believe that wet
mining should be required or alternatively the applicant could demonstrate that pumping
will not affect these wetlands.
Please call me at 919-733-1786 if you have any questions.

Deborah,
Answers to your mining questions:
1. Existing mines, built prior to March 1, 1999 would be "exempt" from
compliance with the wetland standards.
2. If a mine is expanded or modified after March 1 in a way that
impacts or drains additional wetlands, then the wetland standards would
apply and they would not be able to it.
3. New mines after March 1, would not be allowed to impact or drain
wetlands under the standards.
I think we need to be careful about about denying the NPDES because of
the wetland standard. There will need to be pretty convincing argument
that the additional pumping requireing the NPDES will drain additional
wetlands. The burden of proof may be put back on the applicant to
prove that they won't, but we need to be careful.
Also, from a conversation with Jill Hickey about the Jreisat project in
Craven County. DWQ may not be able to request Jreisat directly to fill
the ditches in, but you can recommend that to the Director that DLR
request restoration of the ditches. Its complicated I know, but that
is the way things are shaping up.

Pete and John,
This is a follow-up for the telephone conversation I had with Pete on
Monday 3/29/99. George Wood of Environmental Professionals
has inquired about the wetland draining policy as it pertains to
mining in wetlands. There are several parts to his question. They are
as follows:
1. Mining in a wetland with an existing mining permit with an
NPDES Permit to discharge groundwater from the mine,
2. Modification of an existing mining permit in wetlands which
will allow additional discharge of groundwater from the mine
via an NPDES Permit,
3. New mining permit in wetlands which will require an NPDES
permit.
This is in relation to 2 mining permits on the Outer Banks. The 2
mines are the Manns Harbor mine and the Farrow mine. The Farrow
mine does not have an NPDES Permit and is discharging into a
pond which is connected to a mosquito ditch. The WaRO office
recommended to the DLR that this activity would need an NPDES
Permit. It is my opinion that the DWQ should not issue NPDES
Permits after March 1, 1999 to discharge groundwater from a mine
in wetlands because it will drain the wetland being mined as well as
adjacent wetlands in the zone of impact unless special techniques
are used to prevent this. PCS Phosphate company puts perimeter
ditches around the mining activity with a maintained water level so as
not to drain the adjacent wetlands. Monitoring should also be
performed in the wetlands to assure that the biological and
hydrological integrity of the wetland is being protected.
Please let Jim, Roger or me know how to answer George Wood's
question. Thanks.

DWQ staff have reviewed the plans for a revised mining permit for the Spencer
Mine. According to our wetland standards [(15 NCAC 2B .0231 (b) (5) and (6)],
the natural hydrology of the wetland must be maintained. Based on available
information, we believe that ground water pumping to allow dry mining will result in a
cone of depression which will violate these standards. Therefore we believe that wet
mining should be required or alternatively the applicant could demonstrate that pumping
will not affect these wetlands.
Please call me at 919-733-1786 if you have any questions.

Deborah,
Answers to your mining questions:
1. Existing mines, built prior to March 1, 1999 would be "exempt" from
compliance with the wetland standards.
2_ If a mine is expanded or modified after March 1 in a way that
impacts or drains additional wetlands, then the wetland standards would
apply and they would not be able to it_
3. New mines after March 1, would not be allowed to impact or drain
wetlands under the standards.
I think we need to be careful about about denying the NPDES because of
the wetland standard. There will need to be pretty convincing argument
that the additional pumping requireing the NPDES will drain additional
wetlands. The burden of proof may be put back on the applicant to
prove that they won't, but we need to be careful.
Also, from a conversation with Jill Hickey about the Jreisat project in
Craven County. DWQ may not be able to request Jreisat directly to fill

The Farrow Mine plans to dewater and has applied for a NPDES permit. After visits to the site and
discussions with Coleen, this office cannot recommend issuance of the General NPDES permit. The
reason for this recommendation is that the mine is adjacent to wetlands and the dewatering could
cause impacts to these wetlands.
However, this mine has a outlet from their existing old borrow pits which are still withing their
permitted mine site. The borrow pits are acting as settling ponds. The site will require a NPDES
permit for the discharge of stormwater. If you should have any questions, please contact me.

Qoeratina Condition 5.
All affected area boundaries (10 acres) shall be
permanently marked at the site on 100 foot intervals
unless the line of sight allows for larger spacing
intervals.
Operating Condition 12. A.
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.
The inspection revealed the following:
1. Dewatering activities were taking place at the site in
violation of the Division of Water Quality's (DWQ) permit
requirements (see enclosed DWQ Notice of Violation dated
April 9, 1999). This is a direct violation of the mining
permit.
2. The wetlands adjacent to the pit area appear to be
adversely affected by the drawdown associated with the
illegal dewatering activities at the site.
3. All affected area boundaries were not permanently marked
at the site as required by the mining permit.
4. A canal has been excavated on the west side of the
property which appeared to be associated with the
proposed mine advance. This activity has commenced
without prior approval by this Department.
In order to bring this site into compliance, the following
corrective actions must be taken:

CERTIFIED MAIL
Mr. Joseph D. Farrow/Frisco Contracting

•A nonrefundable $50.00 permit application processing fee is inquired for minor permit modifications. Minor permit modifications include ownership transfers, name
changes, bond substitutions and permit renewals where the mint is inactive and fully stabilized. A minor permit modification also includes lands added to a permitted
area, outside of the minimum pcmut buffer zone requirements, where no plans for mining related disturbance of the added lands have been approved. All other
changes are considered major modifications.
**Acres for new permits and renewal permits means the total acreage at the site. Acres for major modification of permits meanie that art& of lend affected by the
modification within the pcniiitted mine area, or any additional land that is to be disturbed and added to an existing permitted area, or both.

Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (Farrow Mine)
Description of Site:
n
APR 2 G 1999
WASHINGTON REGIONAL OFFICE
DWO
The Farrow Mine site is located south of SR 1269 (Water Plant Road) and south of Highway 12
between the towns of Buxton and Frisco North Carolina.
The Farrow mine is an existing 100.52 acre permitted mine site which engages in the mining of
sand for use on the south end of Hatteras Island. Generally sand is mined by backhoe, dragline,
dredge, and either placed in a dump truck for immediate use or stockpiled on an upland storage
site for later use. (Mine dewatering may be an additional option for mining pending recent permit
modification requests and dewatering applications submitted). In all options sand is mined wet
and there is not much dust created by this activity. The haul road utilized to take sand off site is
monitored for dust and is watered down by a water truck if dust poses to be a problem. The only
waste generated on site are trees and stumps from land clearing for new mining areas.
Marketable trees are cut, saved and taken to the mill. Land clearing debris is stockpiled and
burned on site. Stormwater runoff from active mine areas flow back into the mining pit.
Spills or leaks of pollutants:
No spills or leaks of pollutants have occurred at the facility in the history of the mine site. No
pollutants, fuels or chemicals are stored onsite
Management Practices:
The existing mine site can be put into two categories; 1) active mine areas and 2) undisturbed
areas. Active mine areas are the actual areas where sand is being mined and stockpiled of hauled
offsite. These disturbed areas on this site would be of most importance for the management of
stormwater. Undisturbed areas are the heavily vegetated areas that have not been included in the
active areas and will remain undisturbed until the active areas need to expand or move to another
location. The management practice in this situation is to only clear land as necessary for the
expansion of the sand mine.
All sand mining activities are within their permitted boundaries and have undisturbed vegetative
buffer requirements associated with the mining permits.
-No fuels or chemicals are stored onsite.
Feasibility Study of operations and or storage practices:
Mining options:
-backhoe- digging sand from a pit by backhoe. This option is preferred initially
at the surface however the reach of the backhoe limits where the sand can be
stockpiled and the depth to which it can dig.
-dragline- digging sand from a pit by dragline allows a greater reach by area and
depth however both backhoe and dragline are considered "messy" when it comes
to swinging wet sand material to a stockpile area. There is a stockpile staging
area required for the sand to drain when it has been dug below the water table.
Bermed stockpile areas allow the sand to dry before hauling off site. Runoff
from these areas goes back into the sand pit.

Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (Farrow Mine)
April20, 1999
-dredging- digging sand from a pit by dredging is a more costly form of mining
requiring larger upland spoil berms and areas to stockpile, however can be set up
as a "closed loop system' by allowing settled water to return to the pit.
-dewatering- digging sand from a pit by dewatering is a more efficient less costly
form of mining. In this case water can be pumped out of one borrow pit into
another borrow pit allowing any sediments to settle out before the water leaves
the site. This process allows equipment to work within the pit to remove drier
sand that can be hauled off site eliminating the need to stockpile saturated sand
for drying. This process also eliminates the need for larger upland areas to be
cleared for stockpiling sand.
The contractor would need to operate the dewatering pump:
1} initially run pump at 1,600 rpm at 2,000 gallon per minute until to a level to
maintain. Approximately seven days.
2) maintenance dewatering to maintenance mining level can be done by two
options: 1,000 rpm at 1,250 gallons per minute.
1) Monday through Friday: S hours a day
2) Monday, Wednesday, Friday 12 hours each day Sunday 4 hours
With the exception of the dewatering option all stormwater is in sheet flow form and any runoff
from stockpiles and mining flows back into the existing pit being mined.
Fueling operations:
Fueling of equipment does occur onsite. Fuel is brought in by truck to fuel equipment. The
equipment fueling occurs in the stockpile areas or within the pit itself confining any spills to
within the area of mining. Stormwater is diverted/flows back into the existing mining pit. No
fuels or chemicals are stored onsite so any spells or leaks from equipment are confined to the
existing mining pit. If the pit was being dewatered at that time the pump can be shut off to keep
any contamination contained within the pit until it is cleaned up.
SPCC and SPRP Plan:
There is no bulk storage of fuels or chemicals onsite however spills or leaks from fueling may
occur and will be handled as follows:
1) fueling is performed in the active mine areas -stockpile and mining pit.
2) any spills or leaks will be contained with in the pit as also with storm water
runoff.
3) notify Dick Farrow of the spill or leak

Farrow Mine Inspection of May 4, 2012
Thom Edgerton, Roberto Scheller and me inspected Farrow Mine on Thursday, May 4, 2012. We met on
site with Mr. Farrow and Mr. George Wood (his consultant).
On August 30, 2010, Mr. Farrow proposed to expand large pit in southerly direction. The original
comment from me was that it is OK with us because we did not receive sufficient information. This call
was revised after conversation with DLR and at that point we asked for all necessary permits to impact
wetlands to be secured.
Than Mr. Farrow revised his request on Novemebr 30, 2010. We (DWQ) did not receive this revised
request. I found it in DLR•files after talking to Gary Novak. I made a copy of this revised submittal. The
new proposal was smaller in scale but still proposed to dig into the wetlands. I told Gary that we will still
require all necessary permit from USACOE and DWQ 401 group.
On April 7, 2011 letter was mailed to DWQ stating that the last request (of November 30, 2010) was
being withdrawn.
The new application for modification was submitted to us on April 2, 2012, with a proposal to mine a
small 0.99 acre upland area to the southwest of main pond. In preparation to do inspection of this site
and by looking at Google maps I discovered that proposed modification of Nov 30, 2010 (one that was
withdrawn) was actually already dug by Mr. Farrow.
During our meeting I pointed out to both Mr. Farrow and Mr. Wood this fact and they told me that they
will proceed to revise existing pit layout on plans to include this unpermitted dig. I also told them that
since no records in file exist for last 10 years or so, that we will not act upon this expansion.
Than we started discussing the new small pit proposal. The proposal did not include any buffers
between the excavation and the surrounding wetlands and it did not include any details about pumping
regime and details. I requested the information and Mr. Wood said that he will work on creating one.
He said he will submit something to me within a few days. His idea was to dig one settling basin in
vicinity of the new pit and than pump from there to dog leg shaped pond which will again bring water
around and recharge the surrounding wetlands. Robert agreed that this would acceptable from 401
standpoint. The point to discuss more is require or not buffer between the pit and the wetlands.
Mr. Farrow has on site an old dredge that he is not using for couple of years. He is in process of selling it
and he will be digging with an excavator.
At the place close to stockpile area, some sediment is leaving the uplands and being deposited in
wetlands. Mr. Farrow constructed a check dam to prevent this from happening.
He will also armor the approach road and crossing to prevent erosion. The erosion was happening
during last hurricanes. Mr. Farrow is not doing any analytical or qualitative monitoring. Mr. Wood told
me that he will start doing this.

Inspection Summary:
On May 3, 2012, Roberto Schelier, Thom Edgerton and Samir Dumpor with the DWQ visited the Farrow Mine site and
met with Mr. Farrow and Mr. George Wood to discuss possible impacts to wetlands associated with the newest expansion
request. After discussing this issue, plan of action was agreed upon and Mr. George Wood said that he will send us
revised plan and Operation and Monitoring plan to address the wetlands impact issue. During this inspection it was
discovered that no Analytical nor Qualittive monitoring was conducted on this site. We advised the owner and his
consultant that no monitoring is violation of the Part III, Scetions B and D of the NCG02 stormwater permit for mining
activities.
Verbal assurance that monitoring will be performed was given by the owner.

Enclosed you will find a modification to the Mining Permit for the Farrow Mine, Permit Number 28-09.
The modification associated with the permit is to allow expansion of the mine excavation 1.0 acre. The current mine
excavation permitted is 14.17 acres, and the proposed mine excavation is 15.17.
This refinement was made in order to avoid wetland impacts, and all new excavation will occur on highground.
With regards to comments of your September 21, 2010 letter, the stockpile located along the southern leg of the
existing haul road has been removed, and the map has been amended to show the new stream crossing which was
replaced in the same location as that before the recent storm damage
Thank you for your consideration of this request to modify Permit Number 28-09.
Sincerely,

STORMWATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN
(FARROW MINE)
DESCRIPTION OF SITE:
The Farrow Mine site is located south of SR 1269 ( Water Plant Road) and south of Highway 12 between
the town of Buxton and Frisco North Carolina.
The Farrow Mine is an existing 100.52-acre permitted mine site which engages in the mining of sand for
use on the south end of Hatteras Island_ Generally sand is mined by backhoe or hydraulic dredge and either
placed in a dump truck for immediate use or stockpiled on an upland storage site for later use. The existing
permit authorizes dewatering 10 feet below existing ground level. In all options, sand is mined wet;
therefore, dust creation is minimal. The haul road utilized to take sand off site is monitored for dust and is
watered down by a water truck when needed. The only waste generated on site are trees and stumps from
land clearing for new mining.areas. Marketable trees are cut and taken to the mill. Land clearing debris is
stockpiled and burned on site or hauled to the County Waste Disposal Facility. Stormwater runoff from
active mine areas flow back into the mining pit.
SPILLS OR LEAKS OF POLLUTANTS:
No spills or leaks of pollutants have occurred at the facility in the history of the mine site. No pollutants,
fuels, or chemicals are stored on site.
MANAGEMENT PRACTICES:
The existing mine site can be put into two categories: 1) active mine areas and 2) undisturbed areas.
Active mine areas are the actual areas where sand is being mined and stockpiled and hauled off site. These
disturbed areas on this site would be of most importance for the management of stormwater. Undisturbed
areas are the heavily vegetated areas that have not been included in the active areas and will remain
undisturbed until the active areas need to expand or moved to another location. The management practice
in this situation is to only clear land as necessary for the expansion of the sand mine.
All sand mining activities are within their permitted boundaries and have undisturbed vegetative buffer
requirements associated with the mining permits.
- No fuels or chemicals are stored on site.
FEASIBILITY STUDY OF OPERATIONS AND/OR STORAGE PRACTICES:
Mining Options:
- Backhoe — Digging Sand from a Pit by Backhoe: This option is preferred initially at the
surface; however, the reach of the backhoe limits where the sand can be stockpiled and the depth to
which sand can be excavated.
Hydraulic Dredging: Digging sand from a pit by dredging is a more costly form of mining
requiring larger upland spoil berms and areas to stockpile, however, can be set up as a "closed loop
system" by allowing settled water to return to the pit.
- Dewatering: Digging sand from a pit by dewatering is a more efficient and less costly form of
mining. In this case, water is pumped out of the borrow pit into an adjacent area within the
permitted mine site. This process allows equipment to work within the pit to remove drier sand that
can be hauled off site eliminating the need to stockpile saturated sand for drying. This process also
eliminates the need for larger upland areas to be cleared for stockpiling sand.

DEWATERING PLAN.
The contractor operates the dewatering pump:
initially at 1,600 rpm at 2,000 gallons per minute until the pit is lowered to 10 feet. The water is
discharged through a pipe under the haul road onto land adjacent to the active mining site yet
still within the mining boundary. This water enters the shallow water table and hydrates the
surrounding wetland areas.
to maintain the mining level by operating the pump at 1,000 rpm at 1,250 gallons per minute
Monday through Friday, B hours a day or Monday, Wednesday, Friday, 12 hours each day.
FUELING OPERATIONS:
Fuel is brought in by truck to fuel the equipment. The equipment fueling occurs in the stockpile areas or
within the pit itself confining any spills to within the area of mining. No fuels or chemicals are stored on
site, and any spills or leaks from equipment are confined to the existing mining pit. If the pit was being
dewatered at that time, the pump is shut off to keep any contamination contained within the pit until
cleaned up.
SPCC AND SPRP PLAN. -
There is no bulk storage of fuels or chemicals on site, however, spills or leaks from fueling may occur and
will be handled as follows:
I. Fueling is performed in the active mine areas — stockpile and mining pit.
2. Any spills or leaks will be contained within the pit.
3. Dick Farrow is notified of any spills or leaks.
4. Shut off any dewatering pumps.
5. Contain and clean up spill.
PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE AND GOOD HOUSEKEEPING PRACTICES.
1. Equipment is inspected daily before use and fueling, and any required maintenance is
performed.
2. If equipment is found defective, it is removed from the site for repair.
EMPLOYEE TRAINING:
1. Employees are trained of notification procedures should a leak or spill occur. They are to
contact Mr. Dick Farrow.
RESPONSIBLE PARTY:
1. The responsible party for this mine site is Mr. Dick Farrow. All employees report to
Mr. Farrow.
