Dear Mr. Selby:
DEC 11
The Division of Water Quality's Stormwater Permitting Unit received a National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System (NPDES) permit application for Brinn Mine on November 24, 2008. The application
included a copy of an associated application for a mining permit submitted to the Division of Land Resources
(MR). 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 your project is located near wetlands, so 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://l12o.eiir.state.ne-us/su/Forins_Docutnents.l7tm. See Section C, Part 1
of the permit on the page labeled, "Part 11I 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.
Additionally, new coastal stormwater management rules (SESSION LAW 2008-21 1) were implemented
October 1, 2008. Due to thcsc new rules you may be required to apply for an additional stormwater permit
(State Stormwater Permit) if YOU propose to add more than 10,000 sf of impervious area (cx. roads,
buildings, etc.). Ncase contact Scott Vinson in the Washington Regional Office at 252-946-6481 to
determine if you will be required to submit an application for this additional permit.
If you have any questions concerning the NPDES permit approval process, please contact me at telephone
number [phone],

Additional Information Requested
Brinn Mine — Dewatering Operations Plan
Beaufort County
The Division of Water Quality's (DWQs) Washington Regional Office (WaRO) received the Operation and
Maintenance Plan (O&M Plan) for the subject mine on November 16, 2009. The 0&M Plan was reviewed and
has been determined as incomplete.
The following 3 paragraphs and the information on page 3 specifically pertain to information that is required for a
complete O&M Plan. The additional information is presented as a checklist and to clarify the intent of an
acceptable O&M Plan.
A 404 Wetland Delineation of the entire permit boundary and permit limits, as well as adjacent andlor
surrounding properties that are located within the cone of depressionlinfluence of the proposed
dewatering activities must be presented. Also, any Isolated Wetlands or Other Waters of the State
regulated by the DWQ, must be presented. Coordination with the DWQ 401 Certification Program is
required for all proposed fill of any 404 Wetlands.
Note: Groundwater drawdown data or a justification of all parameters used is to be presented for each cone
of depression presented.
Also, the additional information must be provided regarding the periods)/stage(s) of the operation with
the most potential for wetland degradation and/or negatively impacting other waters of the state, such as:
• the period in which the largest volume of water is to be discharged, therefore creating the largest
cone of influence, and
• the stages of the operation, when working in area(s) with the maximum potential for wetland
degradation or negative impacts to waters of the state are expected.
• If the waters of the state are located within the cone of influence,
o evidence that a restrictive horizon is present that functions as a barrier and prevents the
groundwater drawdown from impacting the wetlands and/or
o all protective measures that are to be implemented to prevent negative impacts, must
be presented.

Cont. — Additional information Requested — O&M Plan — Brinn Mine — Beaufort Co.
The General Mine Dewatering Permit (NCG02) application is being processed in the DWQs Raleigh Central
Office (CO). No mine dewatering is allowable prior to the permit issuance. Dewatering activities prior to
approval may subject you to appropriate enforcement actions in accordance with North Carolina General Statutes
143-215.6. Civil penalties of up to $25,000 per day per violation may be assessed for failure to comply with a
permit required by North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1.
Other references to O&M Plans are (included as guidance and a checklist, but presents details that are
expected in an approvable O&M Plan):
The DWQ has concerns about the proximity of the mining operation to the wetland areas, and requests
that you provide adequate engineering documentation to ensure that there will be no wetland impacts
from this mine. The North Carolina Administrative Code includes Wetland Standards, 15A NCAC 02B
.0231(b)(5), requiring that, "Hydrologic conditions necessary to support the biological and physical characteristics
naturally present in wetlands shall be protected to prevent adverse impacts," related to several items including,
"Water levels or elevations." Because this mine is located adjacent to wetlands, engineering calculations
are necessary to ensure compliance with the Administrative Code.
And
The 0&M Plan is a requirement of Part III Section C of the NCG02. The permit requires that the plan include, at a
minimum:
• "Groundwater monitoring strategies to demonstrate the effect of pumping and, as necessary,
establish the pumping regime necessary to reduce impacts," and
• "Detailed plans to maintain the surrounding hydrology and the respective monitoring to demonstrate
compliance."
And
Part III Section A of the NCG02 requires, at a minimum:
• Appropriate Best Management Practices (BMPs) shall be used to divert, infiltrate, reuse or
otherwise manage stormwater runoff and wastewater discharges.
Also
The O&M Plan must also provide sufficient details to present all areas and stages of the project.
Some of these areas are labeled as the Final Checklist on page 6 of 7 of the NCG02 application and are as
follows:
Site Map (Land Quality Mine Permit Plans):
o Including the Corps 404 delineation of all wetlands and the calls for any navigable waters
features.
o The DWQ jurisdictional calls for all isolated wetlands, streams and other waters of the state, as
well as noting any possible requirements of the
0 401 Certification program.
o Well placements,
o Borrow areas,
o Overburden storage and
o Stormwater controls/BMPs are necessary, as well as
o Vehicle maintenance areas,
o Product process areas,
o Access roads, and
o etc. that are located within the cone of influence. (As applicable)
• Well information (design, depths, maintenance)
• Physical monitoring for the wetlands areas (if required — Protective Measures to minimize impacts are
preferred.)
• Settling pond sizing information (As applicable)
• Level spreader design (If required)

4 Cont. — Additional Information Requested -- O&M Plan — Brinn Mine — Beaufort Co.
• Details about dewatering method
• Description of BMPs and measures to prevent erosion and flooding.
The information set forth in this letter, is presented as guidance to assist as additional information is gathered to
complete an approvable O&M Plan. Include other areas or stages of the operation as necessary to present the
overall project.
Note: The bolded text is intended to highlight some of the points of interest; to be used during secondary
skimming, as a checklist and for highlighting with black and white printing. All of the items following the "Other
references to O&M Plans are (included as guidance):,may not apply to this project and/or may have previously
been submitted. The information was included as a checklist and can be used as guidance for future O&M Plan
development.
My contact number is [phone] or email thom.edgerton(a)ncdenr.gov with any questions. Upon receipt of
the additional information which completes an acceptable O&M Plan, written approval will be returned to
you and forwarded to the CO as a regional office recommendation favoring the permit issuance. Please

Hello,
The possibility of tying the [Anal poled into the Calla] after mining is complete would require a 401/404
permit, of�which the request would be reviewed at that tinge.
An O&M Plan will be required for details of the proposed, for this office and upon permitting, which
could be also be used as direction during the operation. Discharge from the stilling; basin must be diffuse
flow prior to entering the buffer.
Scan McKenna [phone], of WaRO Marine Fisheries expressed potential concern of freshwater
discharge during spawning periods.
This information is mostly jests re-emphasizing items that have been mentioned or discussed, to
highlight points of most interest, but the bottom line Is that I and not aware of any reason that the COC
not be issued, if the mine is permitted.
Please let nee know ifyou need more information.
Thanks,

Thong,
-lope you had a good holiday.
just got off the phone with the owner's engineer, flood Richardson. He is going to send you a set
of plans directly so that you'll have the full package to provide any comments.
Don't believe a State SW permit will be needed for this one. He said the only impervious area will
the the 60'x20' gravel entrance, which is less than tine 10,000 sf trigger. The area labeled as road
area will be the in situ soil.
I asked him about why the mining permit limit juts out to the canal or the central north side Of -tile
proposed pit. (That "canal" is a blue line on the USGS neap so I would think t11e NSW buffers

apply) He stated that the owner wants -the option of tying the final pond in to the canal after mining
is complete. I told him that I thought we could handle that in the cover letter stating that if they do
choose to do that in the Future, they must first get a 401/404 permit.
I also asked him about the inconsistency b/t the plans and narrative for the settling basin size. He
stated that the smaller 50'x25' basin shown on the plans is the minimum size based on the DLR
settling basin sizing requirements for pumping. The dewatering water will be the only discharge to
the settling basin. All the stormwater will flow on grade either to the pit or offsite at no specific
discharge point. He stated that the settling basin will dicharge non-erosively via the rip rap apron on
the plans to the wetlands. With the basin and sw generally flowing to the wetlands and/or the pit,
I'm not sure there will be much of an impact on the wetlands. Also, the site if very flat-, only about a
T drop across the I 1 acre pit. I'm wondering if they still need a basic O&M Plan to include some
monitoring wells to be sure they are not impacting the wetlands. What's your fecling on this?
Hope you have a Happy New Year!!

The wetland issue would be covered in an O&M plan. They show the final reclamation
plan... basically just showing the eIxcavation area as a big pond. They have a typical cross section of
a settling pond, but don't show at all where it will be at any point as the mining progresses. I also
just noticed another item ... they show the mine permit limits going into the wetlands up to the canal
(appears as a blue line stream on the USGS map) of Pungo Creek. We'll need to verify that blue line

Please see NO[ attached. Also, 1 attached the letter I sent yesterday. You were hard copied
Oil it too.
We have received an application for coverage of a new facility under NCG 02 from The
Selby Company - Brinn Mine. The facility drains to Pungo Creek (class Sc; NSW) in
Belhaven (Beaufort County). No vehicle maintenance or haz waste.
There is mine dewatering proposed. The not states that the water will be pumped to a
temporary onsite settling basin (50' x 25' x 4'deep); and that the "facility will not overflow
except during hurricanes". No volume calcs were included to verify whether or not it would
discharge only in large events.
They only submitting one site plan. It shows extensive wetlands (6.85 acres) along the
northern part of the property. They have provided a 50' undisturbed buffer around the
wetlands. But, on the not they marked number 10 as "no", so they apparently do not feel
they need an O&M plan. I would think with that amount of wetlands 50' from the pit, we
would want to require an O&M plan? hl a letter I sent the owner yesterday, I stated that
they need to contact WARD about an O&M plan; and that we are also waiting on DLIZ to
issue their mining permit before we can act oil this NPDES permit.
The site plan also shows a I acre road entrance, so I included language In that letter that
they may be required to get a State SW Permit. They have been directed to Scott Vinson
for that.
Does the WARO have any concerns about issuing this facility a COC for this general
permit?
Thanks!
have they addressed the issue of possible degradation of the adjacent wetlands with the
dewatering system? or is that what the o&m does`?
have they shown what they will have for a final settling pond when the need develops? if not i
would say no coc, add info letter for details.

• Mine dewatering (wastewater)
The following activities are specifically excluded from coverage under this General Permit:
• Stormwater discharges associated with peat mining, coal mining, and metal mining;
• Stormwater discharges from mining operations which are intermixed on site with stormwater from asphalt
operations and/or concrete operations;
• Stormwater discharges associated with oil and gas extraction operations; and
• Stormwater discharges associated with tourist gem mines
• NCDOT borrow pits are covered under NCS000150
The following discharges are covered by NPDES general permit NCG520000 instead of NCG020000:
• Point source discharges of stormwater and wastewater from in -stream sand mining operations (i.e., sand
dredging or dipping operations)
For new mining sites that require an authorization to construct (ATC) wastewater treatment facilities: This
NOI is also an APPLICATION FOR an ATC for new wastewater treatment facilities. ATC requests must be
submitted at least 90 days prior to construction'.
For existing mining sites that require an Authorization to Operate (ATO) wastewater treatment facilities:
This NOI is also an APPLICATION FOR an ATO for wastewater treatment facilities in place.
Construction, modification, or installation of any new treatment components at an existing site requires
an ATC. (If the site is already covered by NCG020000, the ATC request may be submitted without an NOI).
Some wastewater treatment facilities used to treat or recycle process wastewater (even if commingled
with stonnwater) at mining sites will require an ATC prior to construction per 15A NCAC 211 .0138.
Please see the NCG020000 General Permit for details about which treatment facilities require an
ATC (summarized in Table 1 at the end of this form). For example, an ATC is required for treatment
of mine dewatering discharge from clay pits and non -closed -loop wastewoter recycle systems. The
authorization to construct or continue to operate will be issued at the same time as the Certificate of
Coverage (COC) for the NCG02 permit. Design of treatment facilities must comply with requirements
