Bright PUMPING OPERATION AND MONITORING PLAN f'*c)r B & M Investments Bright M Mieggs Tract Township of South Mills Camden County, North Carolina Prepared: September 2011 E Sigma Environmental Services, Inc. Virginia Beach, Virginia Backgr6und The following provides a short discussion on the siting and design components of the Bright - Meiggs Track Sand Mine development plan which will employed to ensure that no adverse impacts to existing aquatic resources willresult from implementation of the mining; operation. The 113.89 acre tract permitted for sand mining,does not support any vegetated wetlands regulated by the US Army Corps of Engineers, as confirmed in a formal wetland delineation confirmation and jurisdictional determination issued by the Wilmington District Corps of Engineers on. I August 2011, action Id. SAW-2011-01138. Non-vcgetated "waters of the United States" do'exist in the agricultural drainage canals/ditches that abut the.property directly on three sides and -indirectly on one side (east). A minimum 75-foot unexcavated perimeter buffer:will be maintained between the edge of the thine and the-ditch/canal system. No adverse impacts to jurisdictional vegetated wetlands will occur. Mine Dewatering The mine pit will be dewatered on an as needed basis within the prescribed limits established by, the issued permits. A dewatering pump will be utilized to lower the static ground water level table as mining progresses. A barge mounted stationary centrifugal punip will be established utilizing a Godwin .model CD250 pump. Operating at the manufacturers. recommend RPM setting, the pump can produce approximately 2000 gallons per minute, or an approximate maximum of 960,00.0 gallons per eight (8) hours of operation. Discharge from the pump will be directed to a two (2) chambered settling/recilarge basin located adjacent to the-entradde: of the mine. The settling/recharge basin is designed to reduce the amount.of suspended solids in.the discharged groundwater by increasing the time for•particulatesland settleable solids to precipitate out of the water column prior to being discharged into the adjacent'drainage canal system. This canal is B,& M,tnvestments O & M Plan Bright - Meiggs Tract. Camden Cot nty„North Carolina September 2011 linked to several other existing draitiage canals and farm field ditches in the area. The canal system functions, in part, as an extensive recharge swale allowing the water to percolate downward into the sub -surface aquifer. Recharge Potential The Bonney Bright Sand Company also owns and operates two other sand mines in the region. One is located in the southern end of Virginia Beach, Virginia and the other mine is located.in Currituck County, North Carolina. Although pump discharge volume data is collected at the Currituck County mine, discharge volume data at the permitted NPDES outfall has not been collected, ,therefore calculations of ground water recharge are not available. However, as a basis for comparison, recharge calculations for the Virginia Beach mine for calendar year 2009 are available. Mine water is pumped from the 70+ acre, pit to a surface dewatering and recharge swale. The main swale averages approximately 20 feet wide,, 4 feet deep and is approximately 4,960 feet in length. In addition, five (5) agricultural ditches totaling over 3,890 linear feet in length connect to the surface dewatering and recharge swale. and provide additional storage capacity and recharge potential. The volume of water pumped from the mine is recorded daily and calculated using a pump specific discharge curvc. The volume of water discharged at the VANPDES outfall #002 (WCS #5) is measured and recorded daily. Calculated volumes at WCS #5 are based on measurements of the depth of overflow above the top flashboard riser. The difference between the two measurements generally equates to recharge volume achieved within the drainage/recharge swale system. Evapotranspiration accounts for a small percentage of loss to the total recharge volume; increasing during the summer months and decreasing in the winter months. The efficacy, of the existing recharge system was calculated for CY 2009. Approximately 142,696 million gallons of water were pumped from the mine while only 21,042 ,million gallons were discharged at WCS #5. The remaining 121.654 million gallons were retained on -site and recharged into the soil or lost through evapotranspiration. The ,figure suggests that approximately 85% of the .B & M Investments Bright.-- Meiggs Tract Camden County, North Carolina O'& M Plan September 2011 water volume pumped from the mine -was retained, onsite and potentially recharged to subsurface strata. Considering the extensive ditch system that currently exists .both upstream and downstream of the proposed mine discharge point, similar retention times and groundwater infiltration rates would be expected since the subsurface geology is fairly similar. However, surface loadings from adjacent farm fields, residential properties. and other commercial developments within the commingled surface drainage system create substantial problems in developing a reliable predictive model for subsurface recharge, since input rates and volumes are unknown. No known water control structures, weirs or similar structures are located within a reasonable distance from the proposed mine'where flow measurements could be taken that would accurately account for or predict recharge effectiveness. Mine Buffers A ininimum,50-foot vegetated buffer and a 75-foot unexcavated perimeter bufferhave been incorporated into the approved mining plan. All surface drainage within the confines of the perimeter buffers will be graded and sloped directing surface runoff to the interior of the mine pit. The collected runoff will be comingled with mine dewatering efforts and pumped to the surface into a two -chambered settling basin. The settling basin will provide resident time for particulates and settleable solids to precipitate out of the water column prior to water being discharged into the surrounding agricultural ditch/canal.system. Quantity of Surface Discharge 'fhe quantity of discharge from the borrow pit dcwatering operations will vary significantly overtime as the -mining operations increase vertically and horizontally. B & M Investments O & M Plan Bright — Meiggs,Tract Camden County, North Carolina September 2011 3 Surface discharge rates.will be recorded daily by logging the duration and RPM of the dewatering pump. Daily -discharge volumes will be calculated utilizing the pump's manufacturer's discharge curve. Measurements will be recorded daily and reported as prescribed in the NPDES pen -nit. A rain gauge will also be installed and read and recorded daily. Quality of Surface Water Discharge The quality of pit discharge water will' be monitored in order to determine any changes in water chemistry over time. Samples will be taken at the mine discharge outfall as it enters the agricultural drainage canals (waters of the US). Grab samples will be taken on a quarterly basis and reported as prescribed in the NPDES permit. The following parameters will be measured:. • Settle Solids • Total Suspended Solids • Turbidity • pH • Total Flow Groundwater Recharge Once the comingled stormwater and mine wastewater is discharged from the settling basin, the water will enter an extensive system of agricultural ditches an&canals; which ultimately drain to the Inter -Coastal Waterway, approximately 3.5 miles to the wesi. This drainagesystem traverses a number of different soils series, however most series do not posses a functional aquatard within a zone from to 2 to 6.5 feet below the ground surface. Since the water depth within the canals averages 3-4 feet,beltiw the ground surface, the entire canal system is capable of functioning as a groundwater 8 & M Investments O & M Plan Bright — Meiggs Tract Camden County, North Carolina September 20t I 4 recharge system through those porous layers. As a consequence, all of the water discharged from the setting basin into the canal system has the potential to recharge back into the surface aquifer as water is removed from lower in the soil profile. Ground Water Monitoring Plan B- & M Investments proposes to install four (4) groundwater monitoring wells surrounding the proposed mine. Monitoring Well #1 (MW'#I) will be installed in the "vegetated buffer zone" located between the mine and the adjacent private wells. Three (3) additional wells will be installed at the northwest, northeast and southeast comers of the mine (see attached well location plan). MW #Fwill be'advanced to 75 feet below the surface to monitor ground water: conditions between the two residential wells and the mine. The other three (3) wells will be advanced to 70 feet. • Sampling metrics will include, at a minimum: o Water level o Chloride o Sodium o pH o Specific conductivity • Sampling frequency will be conducted on a� quarterly basis. Reporting frequency will be determined by the regulatory agency(ies). Baseline Sampling Plan: After -all necessary permits° and authorizations for the' mine Have been secured, the permittee will attempt to seek authorization from -the two adjacent property owners who's wells are located within 500' feet of the edge of the mine pit fo-collect water samples to B & M Invesiments Biight - Meiggs Tract Caniden'Cbunty_Norlh Caroliha 5 O & M Plan September 2011 establish baseline ground water quality data. Future sampling events at MW #1 may be compared to the baseline data acquired from the residential wells. Sampling protocols would include: • Water samples will be collected from the residential wells (if permitted by the property owners) at least twice (2), at approximately 60 and 30 days prior to the anticipated start of mine dewatering operations Although the specific sampling metrics would be established by permit conditions, the BBSC proposes to. sample, at a minimum, the following parameters: o Chloride o Sodium o pH :- Specific conductivity • One baseline water sample will be collected at each of the four (4) wells prior to the initiation of pit watering. Thereafter, periodic sampling will commence and will be reported pursuant to permit conditions. Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan A Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan will be prepared for the facility which will provide a thorough discussion of the best management practices (BMPs) to be employed at the mine.

Samples will be taken at the mine discharge outfall as it enters the agricultural drainage canals (waters of the US). Grab samples will be taken on a quarterly basis and reported as prescribed in the NPDES permit. The following parameters will be measured: • Settle Solids • Total Suspended Solids • Turbidity • pH • Total Flow Groundwater: Recharge Once the comingled stormwater and mine wastewater is discharged from the settling basin, the water will enter an extensive system of agricultural ditches and cabals, which ultimately drain to the Inter -Coastal Waterway, approximately 3.5 miles to the west. This drainage system traverses a number of different soils series, however most series do not posses a functional aquatard within a zone from to-2 to 6.5 feet below the ground surface. Since the water depth within the canals averages 3-4 feet below the ground surface, the entire canal system is capable of functioning as a ground water B & M Investments O & M.

Bright PUMPING OPERATION AND MONITORING PLAN B & M Investments Bright - Mieggs Tract Township of South Mills Camden County, North Carolina Prepared: September 2011 i Sipma Environmental Services, Inc. Virginia Beach, Virginia 1 Background The following provides a short discussion on the siting and design components of the Bright — Meiggs Track Sand Mine development plan which will employed to ensure that no adverse impacts to existing aquatic resources will result from implementation of the mining operation. The 11189 acre tract -permitted for sand -mining does'not`suppart:anyy_egetated--3 �1p.0,14 wetlands'regulated by the US.-Army-Corps'of-''Engineers, as confirmed:in a formal wetlatnd-delineation confirmation and jurisdictional determination issued -by the Wilmington District Corps of Engineers on-1 August.201 ],:action Id.

No - adverse: impacts -to; jurisdicttiona1. r vegetated=wetlands=wi ll"occur Mine Dewatering The mine pit will be dewatered on an as needed basis within the prescribed limits established by the issued permits. A dewatering pump will be utilized to lower the static ground water level table as mining progresses. A barge mounted stationary centrifugal pump will be established utilizing a Godwin model CD250 pump. Operating at the �QD manufacturers recommend RPM setting, the pump can produce approximately"2000 gallons per mimtte, or an approximate maximum of 960,000 gallons per eight (8) hours of operation. Discharge from the pump will be directed to a two (2) chambered settling/recharge basin located adjacent to the entrance of the mine.

Lbn Beach mine for calendar year 2009 are available. Mine water is pumped from the 70+ acre pit to a surface dewatering and recharge swale. The main swale average approximately 20 feet wide, 4 feet deep and is approximately 4,960 feet in length. ]n addition, live (5) agricultural ditches totaling over 3,890 linear feet in length connect to the surface dewatering and recharge Swale and provide additional storage capacity and recharge potential. The volume of water pumped from the mine is'recorded daily and calculated using a pump specific discharge curve. The volume of water discharged at the VANPDES outfall #002 (WCS #5) is measured and recorded daily. Calculated volumes at WCS #5 are based on measurements of the depth of overflow above the top flashboard riser. The difference between the two measurements generally equates to recharge volume achieved within the drainage/recharge swale system. Evapotranspiration accounts for a small percentage of loss to the total recharge volume; increasing during the summer months and decreasing in the winter months. The efficacy of the existing recharge system Cyr-SS'ny as S was calculated for CY 2009. Approximately 142,696 million gallons of water were 700,0o0 _pumped from the while only 21,042 million gallons discharged at WCS #5. e ms wu �-1 The remaining 121.654 million gallons were retained on -site and recharged into the soil Z p� ;,`f `?ear or lost through evapotranspiration.

However, surface loadings from adjacent farm fields, residential properties and other commercial developments within the commingled surface drainage system create -s'ubstantial problems in developing a reliable predictive model for subsurface recharge, since input rates and volumes are unknown. No known water control structures, weirs or imilar structures are located within a reasonable distance from the proposed mine where flow measurements could be taken that would accurately account for or predict recharge effectiveness. \'O Mine Buffers Sao µ-icy n�� Q- IJO'&30_J• A minimum 50-foot vegetated buffer and a 75-foot unexcavated perimeter buffer have been incorporated into the approved mining plan, All surface drainage within the confines of the perimeter buffers will be graded and sloped directing surface runoff to the interior of the mine pit. The collected runoff will be comingled with mine dewatering efforts and pumped to the surface into a two -chambered settling basin.

Quality of Surface Water Discharge The quality of pit discharge water will be monitored in order to determine any changes in water chemistry over time. Samples will be taken at the mine discharge outfall as it enters the agricultural drainage canals (waters of the US). Grab samples will be taken on a quarterly basis and reported as prescribed in the NPDES permit. The following parameters will ;be measured: • Settle Solids r' • Total Suspended Solids • Turbidity • pH • Total Flow Groundwater Recharge Once the comingled stormwater and mine wastewater is discharged from the settling basin, the water will enter an extensive system of agricultural ditches and canals, which ultimately drain to the Inter -Coastal Waterway, approximately 3.5 miles to the west. This drainage system traverses a number of different soils series, however most series do not posses a functional aquatard within a zone from 2 to 6.5 feet below the ground surface. Since the water depth within the canals averages 3-4 feet below the ground surface, the entire canal system is capable of functioning as a ground water B & M Investments O & M Plan Bright — Meiggs Tract Camden County, North Carolina September 2011 4 recharge system through those porous layers. As a consequence, all of the water discharged from the setting basin into the canal system has the potential to recharge back into the surface aquifer as water is removed from lower in the soil profile.

We've received an NOI from Bonny Bright / B&M Investments for their sand mine in Southmills (Camden County) for coverage under NCG02 (Mining SW/WW permit). The site discharges stormwater and mine dewatering water into a UT to Dismal Swamp Canal (C, SW) through a settling basin. Their Mining Permit (15-12) was issued on July 15, 2010, and DWQ told them they need to have the wetlands delineated in 2009 and they needed a permit. Some things about the site: • I'm not sure if they have been mining already - because it was approved July 15, 2010? However, their mining permit says that they shall not discharge mine dewatering water until they get a DWQ permit. • They are located in the 20 Coastal Counties - do they need a State SW permit? Name is not consistent with DLR permit, and the company they applied as - I don't think they are a registered company in NC. 1 would suspect there are wetlands near this site - since they are discharging to a canal and near next to the Great Dismal Swamp - but they had a USAGE JD (by Kyle Barnes) and I don't believe it says they have wetlands on site. They do have waters of the US on their property. • They are required by their DLR permit to install groundwater monitoring wells, monitor them 2x/month, in order for them to determine s pre-existin g gw levels (see attached DLR permit). • 1 have sent you a copy of the plans in the mail, and have attached the NOI and a copy of the JD.

Communication logs Date Item 9/27/ 11 See email to WaR4 below Hello Al & Samir, Hope you both are well! We've received an N01 from Bonny Bright / B&M Investments for their sand mine in Southmills (Camden County) for coverage under NCG02 (Mining SW/WW permit). The site discharges stormwater and mine dewatering water into a UT to Dismal Swamp Canal (C, SW) through a settling basin. Page 4 of 5 NCG02 Stormwater Permit: Mining Permit Review Their Mining Permit (15-12) was issued on July 15, 2010, and DWQ told them they need to have the wetlands delineated in 2009 and they needed a permit. Some things about the site: • I'm not sure if they have been mining already — because it was approved July 15, 2010? However, their mining permit says that they shall not discharge mine dewatering water until they get a DWQ permit. • They are located in the 20 Coastal Counties — do they need a State SW permit? a Name is not consistent with DLR permit, and the company they applied as - I don't think they are a registered company in NC. • 1 would suspect there are wetlands near this site — since they are discharging to a canal and near next to the Great Dismal Swamp — but they had a USACE JD (by Kyle Barnes) and I don't believe it says they have wetlands on site. They do have waters of the US on their property. • They are required by their DLR permit to install groundwater monitoring wells, monitor them 2x/month, in order for them to determine pre-existing gw levels (see attached DLR permit). • 1 have sent you a copy of the plans in the mail, and have attached the NOI and a copy of the JD. They DO have a copy of their pumping operation and monitoring plan — woo hoo! i have attached for your approval. Does the Washington Regional Office have any concerns about issuing this facility a COC for this general permit, and are there any potential impacts to wetlands? If we don't receive any objections, we'll issue the CDC in 30 days.

Communication logs Date Item 9/27/ I 1 See email to WaRO below Hello Al & Samir, Hope you both are well! We've received an NOI from Bonny Bright / B&M Investments for their sand mine in Southmills (Camden County) for coverage under NCG02 (Mining SW/WW permit). The site discharges stormwater and mine dewatering water into a UT to Dismal Swamp Canal (C, SW) through a settling basin. Page 4 of 5 'y NCG02 Stormwater Permit: Mining Permit Review Their Mining Permit (15-12) was issued on July 15, 2010, and DWQtold them they need to have the wetlands delineated in 2009 and they needed a permit. Some things about the site: • I'm not sure if they have been mining already — because it was approved July 15, 2010? However, their mining permit says that they shall not discharge mine dewatering water until they get a DWQ permit. • 1 would suspect there are wetlands near this site — since they are discharging to a canal and near next to the Great Dismal Swamp — but they had a USACE JD (by Kyle Barnes) and I don't believe it says they have wetlands on site. They do have waters of the US on their property. • They are required by their DLR permit to install groundwater monitoring wells, monitor them 2x/month, in order for them to determine pre-existing gw levels (see attached DLR permit). • 1 have sent you a copy of the plans in the mail, and have attached the N01 and a copy of the JD. They 00 have a copy of their pumping operation and monitoring plan — woo hoo! I have attached for your approval. Does the Washington Regional Office have any concerns about issuing this facility a COC for this general permit, and are there any potential impacts to wetlands? If we don't receive any objections, we'll issue the COC in 30 days. Please let me know when you are done reviewing the 0&M plan Thanks, Jen Page 5 of 5 Jones, Jennifer From: Dumpor, Samir Sent: Wednesday, November 23, 2011 9:41 AM To: rharoldjones@aol.com Cc: Edgerton, Thom; Jones, Jennifer Subject: Bright-Meiggs Tract - Request for Stormwater Managemnet Permit Application Dear Mr. Jones: This office received a copy of your NPDES permit application and plans for the subject project on September 7, 2011.

Sullins Director September 27, 2011 Subject: General Permit No. NCG020000 Bright-Meiggs Tract Camden County Dee Freeman Secretary The Division of Water Quality's Stormwater Permitting Unit received a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit application for Bright-Meiggs Tract on September 7, 2011. The application included a copy of an associated 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 note that the owner name on your application must be consistent with the application name on DLR's application. Additionally, if the owner name is a company or LLC, that company must be a registered company in the State of North Carolina., More information can be found on the NC Department of the Secretary of State: htti)://www.secretary.state.nc.us/corporationsl. Information on the signatory requirements for applications can be found in the permit — Part IV, Section B, 5. 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. An approved Operation and Monitoring Plan is required for NPDES-permitted mining facilities and may be required prior to permit issuance. 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 in the Washington Regional Office to address any wetland concerns for your facility in order to ensure a successful NPDES application review. Additionally, nev' coastal stormw;tter management rules (SESSION LAW 2008-211) were implemented October 1, 2008.

The 113.89 acre tract permitted for sand mining does not support any vegetated wetlands regulated by the US Army Corps of Engineers, as confirmed in a formal wetland delineation confirmation and jurisdictional determination issued by the Wilmington District Corps of Engineers on 1 August 2011, action 1d. SAW-2011-01 138. Non -vegetated "waters of the United States" do exist in the agricultural drainage canals/ditches that abut the property directly on three sides and indirectly on one side (east). A minimum 75-foot unexcavated perimeter buffer will be maintained between the edge of the mine and the ditch/canal system. No adverse impacts to jurisdictional vegetated wetlands will occur. Mine Dewatering The mine pit will be dewatered on an as needed basis within the prescribed limits established by the issued permits. A dewatering pump will be utilized to lower the static ground water level table as mining progresses. A barge mounted.stationary centrifugal pump will be established Utilizing.a Godwin model CD250 pump. Operating at the -. _. . manufacturers recornmend RPM setting, the pump can produce approximately 2000 gallons per minute, or an approximate nlaximtrtn of 960,000 gallons per eight (8) hours of operation. Discharge from the pump will be directed to a two (2) chambered settling/recharge basin located adjacent to the entrance of the mine. The settling/recharge basin is designed to reduce the amount of suspended solids in the discharged groundwater by increasing the time for particulates and settleable solids to precipitate out of the water column prior to being discharged into the adjacent drainage canal system. This canal is 13 & M Investments Bright — Meiggs Tract Camden County, North Carolina O & M flan Septenibcr 201 1 linked to several other existing drainage canals and farm field ditches in the area. The canal system functions, in part, as an extensive recharge Swale allowing the water to percolate downward into the sub -surface aquifer. Recharge Potential 7 The Bonney Bright Sand Company also owns and operates two other sand mines in the region. One is located in the southern end of Virginia Beach, Virginia and the other mine is located in Currituck County, North Carolina. Although pump discharge volume data is collected at the Currituck County mine, discharge volume data at the permitted NPDES outfall has not been collected, therefore calculations of ground water recharge are not available. However, as a basis for comparison, recharge calculations for the Virginia Beach mine for calendar year 2009 are available. Mine water is pumped from the 70+ acre pit to a surface dewatering and recharge swale. The main swale averages approximately 20 feet wide, 4 feet deep and is approximately 4,960 feet in length. Ill addition, five (5) agricultural ditches totaling over 3,890 linear feet in length connect to the surface dewatering and recharge swale and provide additional storage capacity and recharge potential. The volume of water pumped from the mine is recorded daily and calculated using a pump specific discharge curve. The volume of water discharged at the VANPDES outfall #002 (WCS #5) is measured and recorded daily. Calculated volumes at WCS #5 are based on measurements of the depth of overflow above the top flashboard riser. The difference between the two measurements generally equates to recharge volume achieved within the drainage/recharge swale system. Evapotranspiration accounts for a small percentage of loss to the total recharge volume; increasing during the summer months and decreasing in the winter months. The efficacy of the existing recharge system was calculated for CY 2009. Approximately 142,696 million gallons of water were pumped from the mine while only 21,042 million gallons were discharged at WCS #5. The remaining 121.654 million gallons were retained on -site and recharged into the soil or lost through evapotranspiration. The figure suggests that approximately 85% of the B & M Investments Bright — Pvleiggs Tract Casndeii County, North Carolina O & M Plan September 2011 2 water volume pumped from the mine was retained onsite and potentially recharged to subsurface strata. Considering the extensive ditch system that currently exists both upstream and downstream of the proposed mine discharge point, similar retention times and groundwater infiltration rates would be expected since the subsurface geology is fairly similar. However, surface loadings from adjacent farm fields, residential properties and other commercial developments within the commingled surface drainage system create substantial problems in developing a reliable predictive model for subsurface recharge, since input rates and volumes are unknown. No known water control structures, weirs or similar structures are located within a reasonable distance from the proposed mine where flow measurements could be taken that would accurately account for or predict recharge effectiveness. Mine Butters A minimum 50-foot vegetated buffer and a 75-foot unexcavated perimeter buffer have been incorporated into the approved mining plan. All surface drainage within the confines of the perimeter buffers will be graded and sloped directing surface runoff to the interior of the mine pit. The collected runoff will be comingled with mine dewatering efforts and pumped to the surface into a two -chambered settling basin. The settling basin will provide resident time for particulates and settleable solids to precipitate out of the . water column prior to water being discharged into the surrounding agricultural ditch/canal system. Quantity of Surface Discharge The quantity of discharge from the borrow pit dewatering operations will vary significantly over time as the mining operations increase vertically and horizontally. B & M Investments Bright — Mciggs Tract Camden County, North Carolina 0 & M Plan September 2011 3 Surface discharge rates will be recorded daily by logging the duration and RPM of the dewatering pump. Daily discharge volumes will be calculated utilizing the pump's manufacturer's discharge curve. Measurements will be recorded daily and reported as prescribed ill the NPDES permit. A rain gauge will also be installed and read and recorded daily. Quality of Surface Water Discharge The duality of pit discharge water will be monitored in order to determine any changes in water chemistry over time. Samples will be taken at the mine discharge outfall as it enters the agricultural drainage canals (waters of the US). Grab samples will be taken on a quarterly basis and reported as prescribed in the NPDES permit. Tile following parameters will be measured: • Settle Solids • Total Suspended Solids • Turbidity • pH • Total Flow Groundwater Recharge Once the comingled stormwater and mine wastewater is discharged from the settling basin, the water will enter an extensive system of agricultural ditches and canals, which ultimately drain to the Inter -Coastal Waterway, approximately 3.5 miles to the west. This drainage system traverses a number of different soils series, however most series do not posses a functional aquatard within a zone from to 2 to 6.5 feet below the ground surface. Since the water depth within the canals averages 3-4 feet below the ground surface, the entire canal system is capable of functioning as a ground water 13 & M Investments O & M Plan [aright — Meiggs Tract Camden County, North Carolina September 201l 4 recharge system through those porous layers. As a consequence, all of the water discharged from the setting basin into the canal system has the potential to recharge back into the surface aquifer as water is removed from lower in the soil profile. Ground Water Monitoring Plan B & M Investments proposes to install four (4) groundwater monitoring wells surrounding the proposed mine. Monitoring Well #1 (MW #l) will be installed in the "vegetated buffer zone" located between the mine and the adjacent private wells. Three (3) additional wells will be installed at the northwest, northeast and southeast corners of the mine (see attached well location plan). MW #1 will be advanced to 75 feet below the surface to monitor ground water conditions between the two residential wells and the mine. The other three (3) wells will be advanced to 70 feet. • Sampling metrics will include, at a minimum: o Water level o Chloride o SOdiL1117 o pH o Specific conductivity Sampling frequency will be conducted on a quarterly basis. Reporting frequency will be determined by the regulatory agency(ics). Baseline Sampling flan: After all necessary permits and authorizations for the mine have been secured, the perrnittee will attempt to seek authorization from the two adjacent property owners who's wells are located within 500 feet of the edge of the mine pit to collect water samples to B & M Divestments Bright — Meiggs Tract Caniden County, North Carolina O & M Plan September 2011 5 establish baseline ground water duality data. Future sampling events at M W # 1 may be compared to the baseline clata acquired fi•om the residential wells. Sampling protocols would include: + Water samples will be collected from the residential wells (if permitted by the property owners) at least twice (2), at approximately 60 and 30 days prior to the anticipated start of mine dewatering operations + Although the specific sampling metrics would be established by permit conditions, the BBSC proposes to sample, at a minimum, the following parameters: o Chloride o Sodium o pl-1 o Specific conductivity + One baseline water sample will be collected at each of the four (4) wells prior to the initiation of pit watering. Thereafter, periodic sampling will commence and will be reported pursuant to permit conditions. Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan A Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan will be prepared for the facility which will provide a thorough discussion of the best management practices (BMPs) to be employed at the mine.

THE RECLAMATION PROCESS WILL BE AS FOLLOWS; 2) STOCKPILE AND PROCESSING AREA, SETTLING BASIN, AND BERMS TO BE LEVELED, GRADED AND STABILIZED W/ PERMANENT VEGETATION. ALL SLOPES ASSOCIATED WITH THE EXCAVATED AREA OF THE MINE SHALL BE STABIL1IED AND VEGETATED W/ PERMANENT VEGETATION WITHIN 21 DAYS OF COMPLETION 3) ANY DISTURBED LAND NOT ASSOCIATED WITH THE DAILY OPERATION OF THE MINE SHALL BE STABILIZED AND VEGETATED W/ PERMANENT VEGETATION WITHIN 21 DAYS OF DISTURBANCE. SEEDING NOTES: The minimum requirement for reclamation Is that all disturbed areas must be stabilized with a permanent ground cover. It is recommended that due to the close proximity of the proposed mine to the Wildlife Management Area close attention should be taken in the seeding of disturbed land. Plants should provide erosion control, forage, and cover for a variety of wildlife as well as allow enable native grassed to regenerate over time. Staged seeding Is generally the most economical and efficient reclamation practice. The following table provides seeding specifications for the Coastal Plain Regfon; Seeding Mixture Species (Ibs./oc.) Korean or Kobe Lespedeza 30 Common Bermudogross 10 German Millet 10 Rye (groin) 40 Seeding Notes: Where a neat appearance Is desired, omit Korean of Kobe Lespedezo Use Common Bermudogross only In isolated areas where it cannot become a pest. Bermudogross may be replaced with 5 Centlpedegross (5 lbs./ac.). Nurse Plante: Prior to May 1 or after August 15, (temporary winter seeding) Seeding of Rye (grain) O 40 lbs./oc. Seeding Dater Aug 15—May 1. (see nurse plants above) Apr 1—Aug 15, Seeding of German Millet O 10 lbs./ce. Year Round. Seeding of Korean or Kobe Lespedeza O 30 Ibs,/ac. Sall Amendments Apply lime and fertilizer according to soll tests, or apply 3,000 lb/or- ground agricultural limestone and 500 Ib/oc. 10-10--10 fertilizer. Mulch: Apply 4,000-5,DOO Ib./oc. groin straw or equivalent cover of another suitable mulching material. Anchor mulch by lacking with asphalt, raving, or netting, or by crimping with a mulch —anchoring tool. A disk with blades set nearly straight can be used as a mulch —anchoring tool. Maintenance: Refertilize the following April with 50 Ib/oc. nitrogen. Repeat, as growth requires. May be mowed only once a year. Where a neat appearance is desired, omit Sericea Lespedezo and maw an often as needed.

NOTES: 1) THOSE AREAS. AS DENOTED ON THE PLAN. INDICATE THE PROPOSED REGION TO BE RECLAIMED. THE RECLAMATION PROCESS WILL BE AS FOLLOWS; 2) STOCKPILE AND PROCESSING AREA, SETTLING BASIN, AND BERMS TO BE LEVELED, GRADED AND STABILIZED W/ PERMANENT VEGETATION. ALL SLOPES ASSOCIATED WITH THE EXCAVATED AREA OF THE MINE SHALL BE STABILIZED AND VEGETATED W/ PERMANENT VEGETATION WITHIN 21 DAYS OF COMPLETION 3) ANY DISTURBED LAND NOT ASSOCIATED WITH THE DAILY OPERATION OF THE MINE SHALL BE STABILIZED AND VEGETATED W/ PERMANENT VEGETATION WITHIN 21 DAYS OF DISTURBANCE SEEDING NOTES: The minimum requirement for reclamation Is that all disturbed areas must be stabilized with a permanent ground cover. It is recommended that due to the close proximity of the proposed mine to the Wildlife Management Area close attention should be taken in the seeding of disturbed land. Plants should provide erosion control, forage, and cover for a variety of wildllfe as well as allow enable native grassed to regenerate over time. Staged seeding is generally the most economical and efflclent reclamation practice. The foliowing table provides Beading specifications for the Coastal Plain Region: Seeding Mixture Species Korean or Kobe Lespedeza 30 Common Bermudagrass 10 German Millet 10 Rye (grain) 40 Seeding Notes: Where a neat appearance Is desired, omit Korean of Kobe Lespedeza Use Common Bermudogross only in Isolated areas where It cannot become a pest. Bermudograss may be reptoced with 5 Centipedegross (5 lbs./ac.). Nurse Plants: Prior to May 1 or after August 15. (temporary winter seeding) Seeding of Rye (grain) O 40 lbs./oc. Seeding Dolas: Aug 15-May 1. (see nurse plants above) Apr I -Aug 15, Seeding of German Millet O 10 lbs./ac. Year Round, Seeding of Korean or Kobe Lespedezo 0 30 lbs./ac. Soll Amendments: Apply lime and fertilizer according to soli tests, or apply 3,000 lb/ac. ground agricultural limestone and 500 lb/oc. 10-10-10 fertilizer. Mulch: Apply 4,000-5,000 Ib./oc. grain straw or equivalent cover of another suitable mulching material. Anchor mulch by tacking with asphalt, roving, or netting, or by primping with a mulch-onchoring tool. A disk with blades set nearly .straight con be used as o mulch -anchoring tool. Maintenance: Refertll{ze the fallowing April with 50 Ib/oc. nitrogen. Repeal, as growth requires. May be mowed only once a year. Where a neat appearance is desired, omit Sericea Lespedeza and mow as often as needed.
