Dear Mr. Francis:
On 2/27/2013, the Division of Water Quality received your request to rescind your coverage under
Certificate of Coverage Number NCG020774. In accordance with your request, Certificate of Coverage
Number NCG020774 is rescinded effective immediately.
Operating a treatment facility, discharging wastewater or discharging specific types of stormwater to
waters of the State without valid coverage under an NPDES permit is against federal and state laws and
could result in fines. If something changes and your facility would again require stormwater or
wastewater discharge permit coverage, you should notify this office immediately. We will be happy to
assist you in assuring the proper permit coverage.
If the facility is in the process of being sold, you will be performing a public service if you would inform
the new or prospective owners of their potential need for NPDES permit coverage.
If you have questions about this matter, please contact Boyd DeVane at 919 807-6373, or the Water
Quality staff in our Raleigh Regional Office at 919-791-4200.
Sincerely,
for Charles Wakild, P.E., Director

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.
You have stated that you will not be dewatering from mine pits. 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 Part III, Section E✓
of your permit. If your facility dewaters, you must have an approved Operation and
Monitoring Plan before mine dewatering discharges occur at your facility. Discharging

I talked to Peggy Francis today about the mine permitted by NCG 020774. The letter asking for a report was from
DEMLR so I told Ms. Francis to contact them. I also asked if she wanted the stormwater permit rescinded. She said she
did because they were out of business and had removed their equipment. I accepted her verbal request as a "Request
for Rescission." I understand that you will visit the site. After I hear from you, I will prepare an official letter of
rescission. Let me know if I need to do anything else. Thanks

Inspection Summary:
Met Mr John E Francis, Jr at his house to conduct a CEI. He has leased the site for the last few years to another sand
company and paid the permit fees. The site does not have any equipment on site and the facility is not in operation. Mr.
Francis asked if he could not open the sand washing facility and just sell sand, but this would still be a mine - so not
possilble. Mr Francis decided to forego any mining and asks that the permit be rescinded. I told him that he would have
to have the permit re -instated if he began to sell sand (includes DLR). He continues to want to have the permit
rescinded. DRP

Dear Mr. Francis:
Dee Freeman
Secretary
The Division of Water Quality's Stormwater Permitting Unit received a National Pollutant
Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit application for Francis Sand and Gravel on June 18,
2010,
Your application is deficient in several key areas. In order for us to process the permit we must have
this additional information. Please address the following points and submit the required information
by August 13, 2010. If you are unable to return the following information by that time, please contact
the Division in writing for an extension.
1) Please 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://portal.ncdenr.org/web/wq/ws/su/npdessw. See Part III,
Section E of the permit. An approved Operation and Monitoring Plan is required for NPDES-permitted
mining facilities. Because your mine is dewatering groundwater and because of the proximity of
wetlands to your site, approval of 0&M Plan for your mine will be required prior to germitiss«arzce.
Discharging mine dewatering wastewater without Plan approval will be subject to enfor-celnent
action.
A Plan for your facility must be submitted to the Raleigh Regional Office. Please contact Lauren
Witherspoon at the Raleigh Regional Office at [phone] in order to ensure a successful NPDES
application & 0&M Plan review. Please refer to the 0&M Checklist at the end of the Notice of Intent

dewatering will "occasionally be pumped out, passing through a basin and rock dam to remove
any sediment. The size of this basin is based on the volume of water pumped. This basin will
be constructed prior to any discharge". However in your letter dated June 16, 2010 to Ms.
Witherspoon you state that the "mining area will discharge water through the grassed buffer
(field area). This will be done on an as needed basis and has no potential for sedimentation of
the adjacent swamp run". Please resolve these two discrepancies in your next submission and
the 0&M. Additionally, address this- discrepancyin written correspondence with the DLR;
carbon copy the Division of Water Quality on this correspondence. Address this in your next

• Point source discharges of stormwater and wastewater from i i-strewn sand mining operations (i.e., sand
dredging or dipping operations)
For BY mining sites that require an authorization to construa (AT+,) wastewater treatment facilities: This
NOl is also an APPLICATION FOR an ATC for new wastewater treatment faculties. ATC requests must be
submitted at least 90 days prior to construction`.
For exlstlna mining sues that require an Authorization to Operate (ATO) wastewater treatment facliftles:
This NOI Is also an APPLICATION FOR an ATO for wastewater treatment facilities in place.
Cgrrstrucflon. modlticatlon, or Instettatton of any new rreatme n,nAOr eJlts a an existingsf requires
an ATC. (if the site is already covered by NCGO200W, the ATG regLiest may be submitted without an NOI).
Some wastewater treatment facilities used to treat or recycle process wastewater (even if commingled
with stomiwater) at mining sites will require an ATC prior to construction per 15A NC.AC 2H .0138.
Please see the NCG0204M General Permit for details about which treatment facilities require an
ATC (!summarized in Table 1 at the end of this form). Fcr example, an ATC is required for treatment
of mine dewatering discharge from clay pits and non -closed- foop wastetater recycle systems. The
authorization to construct or continue to operate will be issuf-d at the same time as the Certificate of
Coverage (COC:) for the NCG02 permit. Design of treatment facilities must comply with requirements
of 15A NCAC 2H .0138 & ,0139.

Dear Mr, Francis:
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 we have received the
required security to cover this application, I am enclosing the mining permit.
The conditions of Mining Permit No. 66-10 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 April 10, 2016. 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 60.6 acres and the amount of land
you are approved to disturb is 27.6 acres.
Please review the permit and contact Kristin Hicklin, Assistant State Mining Specialist,
at [phone] of any objection or questions concerning the terms of the permit.
