Division of water Quality
The Division of Water Quality (DWQ) in the Wilmington Regional Office received the 0 & M plans for the
following projects; NKT Projects No. 07144 (Old New Britton Road Mine, received December 20), 06148 (Henry
Bryant Mine, received December 20), and 06188 (Hardee Sand Mine, received November 30), Each of the O &
M plans have been reviewed and the following comments are provided for your consideration:
NKT Project No. 07144:
1.
Please provide a USGS quadrant map with an overlay of the mine site. The USGS map is helpful in
identifying any blue line streams or potential wetlands outside the boundary of the mine site. The map
should be large enough to accommodate the identification of the access roads, excavation area, settling
basins, spoil piles, undisturbed buffers, and level spreader locations. The map provided showed
wetlands mostly within the mine site (proper) but left some uncertainty that wetlands had been identified
outside the mine site (specifically to the north of the mine site). DWQ is interested in the protection of all
wetlands, including those located outside the mine site boundaries.
2.
Provide a copy of the delineation certified by the US Army Corp of Engineers or a letter from the
l �.r
USACOE indicating concurrence with the wetland boundaries identified on the m p provided.
3.
j
Monitoring wells should be of sufficient number to provide data on hydrology of each wetland that has the
iy0
potential to be impacted by dewatering activities. The monitoring wells should be of sufficient depth to
demonstrate wetland hydrology. Use of existing wells that are 40-50 feet deep are too deep to
demonstrate wetland hydrology and should not be used to demonstrate whether wetland impacts are
occurring, Ptacement of the monitoring wells should be in the wetlands, just outside the undisturbed
buffer. The two monitoring wells identified on the map are located outside the wetland boundaries and
are not shallow monitoring wells.
4.
Mining roads or berms should not be built within the 50' undisturbed buffer, since an undisturbed buffer
refers to an area that has not been disturbed. Building a road or berm is a disturbance.
5.
The number of level spreaders and their locations should provide recharge to all wetlands that have the
potential of being impacted by dewatering activities.
6.
Include in the O & M plan a statement that requires the permittee to discontinue dewatering activities
immediately and contact DWQ upon noticing any impacts to surface waters or significant changes in
wetland hydrology and vegetation due to dewatering and will not resume dewatering until DWQ has
conducted an inspection of the mine site. DWQ will be notified if the daily flow exceeds the projected flow
or pump rates are increased to any level spreader exceeding those identified in the plans.
7.
Please provide the calculations (including any assumptions made) that demonstrate the accuracy of the
projected daily discharge of water that will need to be removed from the mine excavation pit. Please
account as well for the contribution to flow from stormwater. Explain how adequate settling will be
achieved during the early stages of digging (and dewatering) when the size of the pit is too small to
provide adequate settling.
8.
The flow and pump rates and dimensions of level spreader and stilling basin need to be identified in
writing in the text of the O & M plan.
NKT Project No. 006148:
1 , Please provide a USGS quadrant map with an overlay of the mine site. Please see justification above.
The map provided showed wetlands mostly within the mine site (proper) but left some uncertainty that
wetlands had been identified outside the mine site (specifically to the south, southeast and southwest of
the mine site). DWQ is interested in the protection of all wetlands, including those located outside th@lonsthCwolina
mine site boundaries. Aalurallf

5. The number of level spreaders and their locations should provide recharge to all wetlands that have the
potential of being impacted by dewatering activities. The slope 50' down gradient of the level spreader
located on the east side of the mine site exceeds 8% (calculated to be 16%). Please identify an alternate
location for this level spreader where the down gradient slope (50' from level spreader) does not exceed
8 %.
6. Any mining roads or berms should not be built within the 50' undisturbed buffer, since an undisturbed

In reference to your November 16, 2007 comment letter, the following response is
offered:
1. A copy of the approved mining plan has been submitted for review. All
necessary information is included.
2. Silt fencing will be installed at the pit excavation perimeter to ensure protection of
the buffers.
3. Details of the level spreader can be found on Sheet C2 and discharge
calculations have been performed.
4. Calculations have been provided for the level spreader / stilling basin BMP. All
discharge will be from the pit/ excavation area. Only Type I sediment (sand and
grit) is anticipated since the accumulation within the pit area will allow for
sedimentation and all discharge will be drawn off the top be the use of float
strainers.
5. All proposed monitoring wells will be a minimum diameter of 4 inches and shall
be at a depth of 45-50 feet. No shallow wells will exist on site. Well inspection
will take place a minimum of once a month. During each inspection a water level
measurement shall be taken. The well shall remain capped and locked at all
other times. Rain gauge measurements shall be taken after any significant
rainfall. All well data records will be kept in the mining office.
6. The wetlands will be inspected quarterly to ensure that there are no adverse
effects due to pit discharge. A grab sample of the discharge water which is
routed through the level spreader BMP must be submitted for testing in

The Division is in receipt of your O & M plan for the above project. As requested, a review of
the plan was conducted. The following items should be addressed in the O & M plan:
1. A map of the mining site should be provided with the following details; landscape
and position of wetlands (based on the Army Corps of Engineers delineation), ditches,
proposed monitoring well placement, borrow areas, overburden storage, vehicle
maintenance areas (if conducted on site), mining roads, buffers, rain gauge locations,
fuel and bulk storage areas, buildings and other impervious surfaces (if present),
stornnvater controls, location of level spreader, and erosion and sediment control
facilities (silt fencing).
2. Identify how the buffer around the mine will be marked to ensure the activities on site
will not encroach the buffer.
3. Provide the design specifications for the level spreader and identify the amount of
water to be discharged (worse case scenario). Level spreader should be able to handle
the maximum discharge rate without exceeding velocities that would cause erosion of
the vegetated buffer.
4. Provide the design specifications of the settling, detention or stilling basin and all
calculations showing what size storm event the stilling pond was designed for in order
to provide adequate settling time before discharge. Identify the frequency for which
sediment build up will be monitored in the stilling basin. Provide the method used for
conveving water from the stilling basin to the level spreader.
5. Provide details on the installation, data loggers, well maintenance schedule and
depths of wells located in the wetlands. Provide the design of the shallow wells.
Provide the frequency for inspecting the water levels in the monitoring wells and rain
gauges on site.
6. Include an inspection schedule for the health of the vegetation in the wetland as a
precautionary measure for protection. Provide an explanation of how monitoring well
data will be analyzed to detennine wetland hydrology.
7. BMP plan should include all good housekeeping practices that will be implemented
on site including clean up procedures for oil or fuel spills.
Please evaluate these comments versus the O & M plan and modify the plan accordingly.

The operation and monitoring of wastewater from the Hardee Sand Mine shall
adhere to the following limitations. All wastewater that collects within the pit area
through groundwater seepage and/or direct rainfall shall be extracted out of the
pit area on an as need basis. All wastewater that is extracted will be routed
through the stilling basin / level spreader BMP.
The level spreader diffuses discharged wastewater through the required fifty (50)
foot vegetated buffer. The diffusion of flow through the vegetated buffer will allow
for both infiltration and pollutant removal. The infiltration process will continually
recharge the water table and also protect the wetland areas from any impacts
associated with the mining operations.
Monitoring wells have been indicated along the project perimeter in various
locations. These wells have been placed in proximity of the wetland areas and/or
with proximity of wells that exist to the west and north of the project site. These
monitoring wells will provide both water table elevation and chemical data.
Quarterly testing and reports; as specified in Section CA Table 6 of the NPDES
General Permit-, are required to be submitted to NCDENR and records shall be
retained in the mining office. All tested parameters shall be in accordance with
Section C.3 Table 9 of the NPDES General Permit.
The stilling basin / level spreader BMP will be required to be inspected either
quarterly and after any discharge operation or on a monthly basis. The stilling
basin should be inspected for sediment accumulation. If sediment is found to be
25% or more of the original design depth then all sediment shall be removed and
the basin will be returned to original design conditions. An inspection of the level
spreader should verify that the spreader lip has not been bypassed and that the
filter strip remains vegetated and channelized flow does not occur during
operation. If needed, the vegetated buffer should be reestablished and
channelization should be removed. Vegetation should remain; at all times-, a
minimum six (6) inches in height. All silt fencing shall remain at the excavation
limits as specified by site plans- Any accumulated sediment should be removed
from the base when the depth reaches one (1) foot.

RE: Nationwide Permit 44 Application; Hardee Sand Mine; Mr. Randy Hardee
Brunswick County, NC
Dear Kim:
Enclosed is a NWP 44 application for your review. This application is submitted on
behalf of Mr. Randy Hardee for a 24-acre tract located off of Winding Way Road in Brunswick
County, NC. The applicant is proposing to mine sand from the site. Although be has attempted to
minimize impacts through careful site design, the proposed site plan shows impacts to 0.042 acre
of 404 wetlands. These impacts are needed to provide.access to uplands within the tract and to
provide a larger mining area.
The Pre -Construction Notification form, associated maps, and site plan are enclosed for
your review. Please contact me if you have any questions. Thank you for your assistance with
this project.
Sincerely,( ] ,

local stormwater requirement, etc.):
Current land use in the vicinity of the pond:
Size of watershed draining to pond: Expected pond surface area:
VU. Impact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization)
Specifically describe measures taken to avoid the proposed impacts. It may be useful to provide
information related to site constraints such as topography, building ordinances, accessibility, and
financial viability of the project. The applicant may attach drawings of alternative, lower -impact
site layouts, and explain why these design options were not feasible_ Also discuss how impacts
were minimized once the desired site plan was developed. If applicable, discuss construction
techniques to be followed during construction to reduce impacts.
The applicant attempted to minimize wetland impacts to the P-reatest extent possible. Impact #1
is needed to gain access to uplands within the site. This crossing has been -positioned at an
existing road crossing to minimize impacts. Impact #2 is needed at a small wetland finger that
extends into the site. It would be difficult to avoid this finger and still maximize the amount of
valuable gpland sand material_ to be mined around_ it.
VIII. Mitigation
DWQ - In accordance with 15A NCAC 2.H .0500, mitigation may be required by the NC
Division of Water Quality for projects involving greater than or equal to one acre of impacts to
freshwater wetlands or greater than or equal to 150 linear feet of total impacts to perennial
streams.
Updated 11/12005
Page 5 of 8

USACE -- In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide
Permits, published in the Federal Register on January 15, 2002, mitigation will be required when
necessary to ensure that adverse effects to the aquatic environment are minimal. Factors
including size and type of proposed impact and function and relative value of the impacted
aquatic resource will be considered in determining acceptability of appropriate and practicable
mitigation as proposed. Examples of mitigation that may be appropriate and practicable include,
but are not limited to: reducing the size of the project; establishing and maintaining wetland
and/or upland vegetated buffers to protect open waters such as streams; and replacing losses of
aquatic resource functions and values by creating, restoring, enhancing, or preserving similar
functions and values, preferable in the same watershed.
If mitigation is required .for this project, a copy of the mitigation plan must be attached in order
for USACE or DWQ to consider the application complete for processing. Any application
lacking a required mitigation plan or NCEEP concurrence shall be placed on hold as incomplete.
An applicant may also choose to review the current guidelines for stream restoration in DWQ's
Draft Technical Guide for Stream Work in North Carolina, available at
httl2://h2o-enr-state.ne.us/newetiands/strmgide,html.
1. Provide a brief description of the proposed mitigation plan. The description should provide
as much information as possible, including, but not limited to: site location (attach directions
and/or map, if offsite), affected stream and river basin, type and amount (acreage/linear feet)
of mitigation proposed (restoration, enhancement, creation, or preservation), a plan view,
preservation mechanism (e.g., deed restrictions, conservation easement, etc.), and a
description of the current site conditions and proposed method of construction. Please attach
a separate sheet if more space is needed.
The a licant will plant the edges of the mined areas with native herbaceous and wood
vegetation as requested by the WRC._A 50' upland buffer will be maintained around a
maiority of the wetlands (see site plan). Because total wetland impacts have been minimized,
no further mitigation is proposed. _
2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement
Program (NCEEP). Please note it is the applicant's responsibility to contact the NCEEP at
(919) 71510476 to determine availability, and written approval from the NCEEP indicating
that they are will to accept payment for the mitigation must be attached to this form. For
additional information regarding the application process for the NCEEP, check the NCEEP
website at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/wrp/index.htm. If use of the NCEEP is proposed, please
check the appropriate box on page five and provide the following information:

Dear Ms. Willis:

CEIVED
JA N 2 3 2008
In regards to your December 31, 2007 comment letter, the following are the responses:
1. An 11X17 Color Quad sheet with the approximate mine location has been
provided. Due to scaling issues a true overlay is unattainable. Please contact
me if you have any questions regarding this matter.
2. A copy of a letter from the US Army Corp of Engineers indicating the wetland
boundaries is enclosed.
3. New monitoring well locations have been indicated and a max depth of 10' has
been specified.
4. All mining roads are a sufficient distance from all wetlands. The necessary
permit for the wetlands crossing is included.
5. Level spreaders will be provided as indicated. Please see the detail sheet for
dimensional requirements.
6. See response #4.
7. Typically immediate dewatering is not required. As the excavation depth
increases a pit will be excavated for collection and the mine will be sloped to
drain. This will allow for a concentrated water collection area. This pit area will
be pumped out periodically on an as need basis. The discharge will consist
mainly of collected stormwater. The predominant soil type in the area is murville
which has a low permeability therefore a large amount of groundwater exfiltratidn
is not anticipated.

9. The approved permit for the necessary wetland permit is included within this
package.
10. The requested statement has been added to the notes on the plan.
Please contact us if you have any further questions or comments. Thank you for your
assistance on this project.
