Dear Mr. Meyer:
In accordance with your application for a discharge permit received on April 4, 2007, we
are forwarding herewith the subject certificate of coverage to discharge under the subject state —
NPDES general permit_ This permit is issued pursuant to the requirements of North Carolina
General Statute 143-215.1 and the Memorandum of Agreement between North Carolina and the

Please take notice that this certificate of coverage is not transferable except after notice to
the Division of Water Quality. The Division of Water Quality may require modification or
revocation and reissuance of the certificate of coverage.
Please be aware that mine dewatering at your site has the potential to impact adjacent
wetlands. The specific requirements for mine dewatering at facilities near wetlands can be found
in Section C, Part 1 of your permit (Part III Page 5 of 9). You must have an approved
Operation and Monitoring Plan before mine dewatering discharges_ occur at your facility.
Discharging mine dewatering wastewater without Plan approval will be subject to enforcement
action. An Operation and Monitoring Plan for your facility must be submitted to the Washington
Regional Office within 60 days of your receipt of this permit. Contact Al Hodge at the
Washinton Regional Office at [phone] for more information about the approval process.
Please note that mine dewatering wastewater includes wet pit overflows caused solely
by direct rainfall and groundwater seepage for this type of mining operation. Any discharge of
this water (and any stormwater commingled with it) is subject to the effluent limitations in this
permit.
This permit does not affect the legal requirements to obtain other permits which may be
required by the Division of Water Quality or permits required by the Division of Land
Resources, Coastal Area Management Act or any other federal or local governmental permit that

Martin County
The Division of Water Quality's Stormwater Permitting Unit received a National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System (NPDES) permit application for Roberson Sand Pitt lI on May 22, 2007. The application
included a copy of an as application for a mining permit submitted to the Division of Land Resources
(DLR). Please be aware that the issuance of an NPDES permit is contingent upon the issuance of an associated
mining permit from DLR. Our office will process your stormwater permit application once a DLR mining
permit has been issued for your project.
Please also be aware that if your project is located near wetlands, your NPDES permit will require
dewatering operations without wetland impacts. The specific requirements for mine dewatering at facilities
near wetlands can be found in the text of the general NPDES mining permit number NCG 020000 available on
our website, http://h2o.enr.state.ne.us/su/Forms_Documents.htm. See Section C, Part 1 of the permit on the
page labeled, "Part III Page 5 of 9". An approved Operation and Monitoring Plan is required for NPDES-
permitted mining facilities. Discharging mine dewatering wastewater without Plan approval will be subject to
enforcement action. A Plan for your facility must be submitted to the Washington Regional Office within 60
days of your receipt of an NPDES permit. We encourage you to contact Al Hodge at the Washington
Regional Office at [phone] to address any wetland concerns for your facility in order to ensure a
successful NPDES application review.
If you have any questions concerning the NPDES permit approval process, please contact me at
telephone number [phone] ext. 376.

Reference is made to the above -mentioned Stormwater Permit. We have reviewed this permit application and
determined the proposed discharge will not adversely affect water quality upstream of any existing or known
proposed public water supply intake.
We concur with the issuance of this permit provided the facility is operated and maintained properly, the stated
effluent limits are met prior to discharge, and the discharge does not contravene the designated water quality
standards.
If I can be of further assistance, please let me know.

Bethany,
Many thanks. That was just what I needed to know.

Jeff,
We get this question more and more, but to date we cover very few (if any)
mines under an individual permit. Since wetlands are involved in this one,
commencement of their operation even with a COC for the general permit cannot
begin until your office approves their Operation and Monitoring Plan, which
requires a thorough effort on the applicant's part and adds a more stringent
requirement. The 0&M Plan approval is also at the discretion of your office,
so I could see WS or NSW concerns being addressed by that to some degree
(maybe?). Typically this question about an individual permit has come up
when HQW or PHA waters are involved, but we've never had it with WS or NSW
waters. Even in those first cases, we hardly ever go the individual route,
though.
While the mining permit could stand some big changes at the next renewal (we
do acknowldege that!), and perhaps specifically to address WS or NSW
concerns, it would be difficult to require an individual permit for mines
near a WS and/or NSW. With so many "exceptions," the general permit wouldn't
really fulfill its purpose; it would also be inconsistent with other mines
we've permitted. An individual permit means a MUCH more lengthy
process... the owner will have go back and fill out a lengthy EPA application
and follow a process that will take up to 6 months, including public notice
and comment period, etc.. We'd have to have a pretty significant and special
reason to justify why the general permit isn't sufficient to protect the
waters in this case.
I don't mean to discourage you from doing the most to protect the
waters --these mine projects can be very frustrating, to say the least. In
the WiRO, they are a nightmare. However, we can't start covering some under
individuals to make up for shortcomings in the GP that we really need to
address at renewal. I think working with these guys on an 0&M Plan may give
you the opportunity you ned to get the owners to address special concerns
here. Does that sound workable?
We can certainly talk more if you'd like.

Re: Briley Mine

Bethany,
I finally sneaked into Al's office and he approved our recommendations for
the Briley Pit. He did ask if they could do this under a general permit or
if they needed an individual permit. My gut feeling ( and understand I am
somewhat of a novice where mines are concerned) is that they should have
an individual permit. Since this is a water supply and nutrient sensitive
area I feel we should do all that we can to protect and monitor the
waters. Your thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
Jeffery
Jeff,
Did you ever get an approval from Al to move forward on this one?
Thanks,
BG

I sent my recommendations to Al for his approval. As soon as'I

I apologize for not scanning this in with the NOI. Not the
best copy in the world, but I also included the draft COC I
put together with the topo image on the second page --that

Hi Jeff,
We've received an NOI from Atwell Construction for Briley Sand Mine in Greenville, NC
for coverage under Mining Permit NCG02. They mine construction sand/gravel, and
they've already received their Mining Permit (MP 74-81), issued 2/27/07. They'll
discharge mine dewatering and stormwater to a UT to the Tar River (a segment that's
Class WS-IV NSW). A copy of the NOT is attached.
Since there's wastewater going to a water supply, I've also sent a memo to DEH at your
regional office requesting approval. We'll have to get that before issuing the
permit.
Does the Washington Regional Office have any concerns about issuing this facility a
COC for this general permit? Also, is there the potential to affect wetlands?
Normally if we don't receive any objections, we'll issue the COC in 30 days, but I
usually hold mining permits until we hear from the RO--especially if there's a chance
that an 0&M Plan is required.
Thanks, and have a good weekend,
BG
