Comments: This land is still just a densely grassed open field near Rocky Mount. The company has no plan to
open the mine in the foreseeable future. There is lots of capacity for the kind of sand at this location available from
the Logsboro mine. This inspection was made simply to verify that no mining is being done up to this time.

Subject: General Permit No. NCG020000
Kempe Sand Pit, NCG 020732
Edgecombe County
The Division of Water Quality's Stormwater Permitting Unit received a National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System (NPDES) permit application for Kempe Sand Pit on June 5, 2008, The application stated
that an associated application for a mining permit was 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://h2c,enr.state.nc.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 Ron Boone at the Raleigh 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. 360.
Sincerely,
Robert D. Patterson, P.E.

Subject: NPDES Stormwater Permit Coverage Renewal
Kempe Sand Pit
COC Number NCG020732
Edgecombe County
In response to your renewal application for continued coverage under stormwater General Permit NCG020000
the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) is forwarding herewith the reissued stormwater General Permit. This permit
is reissued pursuant to the requirements of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and the Memorandum of
Agreement between the state of North Carolina and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, dated October 15,
2007 (or as subsequently amended).
The following information is included with your permit package:
• A new Certificate of Coverage
• A copy of stormwater General Permit NCG020000
• A copy of a Technical Bulletin for the General Permit
• Two copies of the Tier 2 / Exceedence Discharge Monitoring Report (DMR) Form for Stormwater
• One copy each of the Annual Summary DMR Forms for Stormwater and Wastewater
• Two copies of the Limit Violation DMR Form for Wastewater
• Two copies of the Qualitative Monitoring Report Form
The General Permit authorizes discharges of stormwater and wastewater, and it specifies your obligations with
respect to discharge controls, management, monitoring, and record keeping. Please review the new permit to
familiarize yourself with all the changes in the reissued permit. If your Certificate of Coverage (COC) restricts
authorization to discharge stormwater only (or other limited terms) based on your original application, or
subsequent modifications to your COC, you must continue to meet these requirements or contact the Stormwater
Permitting Unit to request a modification of this renewal COC.
The more significant changes in the General Permit since your last Certificate of Coverage include the following:
Part II:
• Section B — Language referencing PAMS has been changed. Flocculants may now be used if evaluated
by the Division and administered in accordance with maximum application doses and other requirements.
Part III:
• Section A — The permit now requires a Stormwater Pollution and Prevention Plan (SPPP) tailored to the
mining industry, in lieu of a Stormwater BMP Plan.
• Section A - Inactive mines may be inspected on a reduced schedule: at least once per month and after
0.5 (or more) of rain. To qualify, inactive mines must possess an "Inactive Renewal' from DLR or certify
to DWQ the site has been stabilized. The permittee must notify the DWQ Regional Office of inactive
status. Discharges from inactive mines must still be monitored on the same schedule as active mines.

• Section B — Revised provisions require that stormwater discharges be sampled twice per year (instead of
annually), and thatithe sampling results be compared to new benchmark values. (The previous cut-off
concentrations have been removed.)
• Section B --� Revised provisions require the permittee to execute Tier One, Tier Two & Tier Three
response actions, based on the first benchmark exceedence (Tier One) and the second consecutive
benchmark exceedence (Tier Two). Tier Two requires that the permittee institute monthly monitoring
(reported to the appropriate Regional Offices) instead of twice -per -year monitoring. Monthly monitoring
shall be done until �three consecutive monitoring events show no benchmark exceedences.
• Section B — This part contains a new provision that four exceedences of any benchmark will trigger
increased DWQ involvement in the permittee's stormwater management and control actions. DWQ may
direct the permittee to apply for an individual permit, institute specific monitoring, or may direct the
implementation or installation of specific stormwater control measures.
• Section B — The definition of "Representative Storm Event" (RSE) now allows 48 hours (instead of 72
hours) of little or no precipitation to precede an RSE.
• Section B — Storm`srvater discharges from a basin designed to contain the 10-year storm must now be
monitored-
• Sections B & C — Failure to monitor according to permit terms triggers monthly monitoring for the
remainder of the permit.
• Section C —Analytical monitoring for Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons (TPH) has replaced the Oil & Grease
parameter in the previous permit.
• Section D — Qualitative monitoring must now be conducted during the same representative storm event
as the analytical monitoring.
• Section D — The permittee is required to keep a written record of his response to problems identified by
his qualitative monitoring observations.
• Section D — If the ,permittee fails to respond effectively to problems identified by qualitative monitoring, the
permittee may be'i'required by DWQ to perform corrective action.
• Section D — Qualitative ROS: Representative Outfall Status may be granted for qualitative monitoring for
some Stormwater"Discharge Outfalls (SDOs).
• Section D — If mines do not respond to problems seen in visual monitoring, DWQ may now require that
mines change the monitoring frequency, apply for an individual permit, implement in -stream monitoring,
install or modify structural stormwater controls, or implement other controls.
• Sections B, C, & D — Inability to sample due to adverse weather must be reported in the SPPP and
recorded in the Annual Summary DMR.
• Section E — A lower TSS Wastewater limit for PNA waters is included in the permit.
• Section E — All mining operations are now required to monitor TSS in wastewater effluent discharges (not
only industrial sand mines). However, TSS limits only apply to industrial sand mining operations.
• Section E — Turbidity limits on effluent discharges have been removed; however, turbidity standards still
apply in the receiving waters.
• Section E — Appreval of a Pumping 0&M Plan may be required prior to coverage (for sites with
dewatering activities that have the potential to drain wetlands or other surface waters).
• Section E — ATC(Requirements have been changed for clarity. These requirements are now outlined for
Mine Dewatering,Wastewater, Process Wastewater, Overflow From Nan -Closed -Loop Process Recycle
Wastewater Systems, and Overflow From A Closed -Loop Process Recycle (CLPR).

If l remember right these guys just keep opening sand pits all over the place. Not sure a visit is necessary
now but may want to visit sometime in the future. They seem to be good environmental stewards if I
remember right. Maybe streams, wetlands, etc. in the viciniiy of the place to be concerned with. Not
much of particular interest or concern for me on this one.

Its considered sand and gravel mine. Brick plants are clay mines.

Judy,
I have a question. I am reviewing the stormwater general permit for this
facility. In the info they provided to you, did they say what type of material
they are primarily mining? I ask because we have different requirements for sand
mines vs. mines with clay. They noted on our application that the material they
are mining is sand, clay, topsoil. I'd like more detail of the extent of clay on
the site.
Thanks for your help'.

in a couple of weeks there will be a "new Ron" hired, who will

there is any other update on county assignments, I will let you

I never heard back from RRO on this mine. DLR has finally issued their mining
permit for this one.
Myrl/Danny,
i forgot that Ron moved to the MRO. This needs to go to whoever is
covering Edgecombe county now for the RRO. Is there an updated list of
who's covering which counties that you could send me? We need to update
our review guidance with it.

Dear Mr. Brown:
The application for a mining permit for the above referenced mine site has been found
to meet the requirements of G.S. 74-51 of The Mining Act of 1971. As your company already
has a blanket bond sufficient to cover this application, I am enclosing the mining permit.
The conditions of Mining Permit No. 33-42 were based primarily upon information
supplied in the application with conditions added as necessary to insure compliance with The
Mining Act of 1971. This permit expires on August 20, 2018. G.S. 74-65 states that the
issuance of a mining permit does not supersede or otherwise affect or prevent the
enforcement of any zoning regulation or ordinance duly adopted by an incorporated city or
county or by any agency or department of the State of North Carolina.
As a reminder, your permitted acreage at this site is 47.8 acres and the amount of land
you are approved to disturb is 41.0 acres.

`In accordance with the application for this mining permit, which is hereby approved by the
Department of Environment and Natural Resources, hereinafter referred to as the Department,
and in conformity with the approved Reclamation Plan attached to and incorporated as part of
this permit, provisions must be made for the protection of the surrounding environment and for
reclamation of the land and water affected by the permitted mining operation. This permit is
expressly conditioned upon compliance with all the requirements of the approved Reclamation
Plan. However, completed performance of the approved Reclamation Plan is a separable
obligation, secured by the bond or other security on file with the Department, and may survive
the expiration, revocation or suspension of this permit.
This permit is not transferable by the permittee with the following exception: If another
operator succeeds to the interest of the permittee in the permitted mining operation, by virtue
of a sale, lease, assignment or otherwise, the Department may release the permittee from the
duties imposed upon him by the conditions of his permit and by the Mining Act with reference
to the permitted operation, and transfer the permit to the successor operator, provided that
both operators have complied with the requirements of the Mining Act and that the successor
operator agrees to assume the duties of the permittee with reference to reclamation of the
affected land and posts a suitable bond or other security.
In the event that the Department determines that the permittee or permittee's successor is not
complying with the Reclamation Plan or other terms and conditions of this permit, or is failing
to achieve the purposes and requirements of the Mining Act, the Department may give the
operator written notice of its intent to modify, revoke or suspend the permit, or its intent to
modify the Reclamation Plan as incorporated in the permit. The operator shall have right to a
hearing at a designated time and place on any proposed modification, revocation or
suspension by the Department. Alternatively and in addition to the above, the Department
may institute other enforcement procedures authorized by law.
Definitions
Wherever used or referred to in this permit, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise,
terms shall have the same meaning as supplied by the Mining Act, N.C.G.S. 74-49.
Expiration Date
This permit shall be effective from the date of its issuance until August 20, 2018.

Dear Mr. Brown:
Coleen H Sullins, Director
Division of Water Quality
The Division of Water Quality's Stormwater Permitting Unit received a National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System (NPDES) permit application for Kempe Sand Pit on .tune 5, 2008. The application stated
that an associated application for a mining permit was 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.
PIease 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/suJForms_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 Ron Boone at the Raleigh 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. 360.
Sincerely,
