Please review the permit carefully and notify this office of any objections or questions

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

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

terms shall have the same meaning as supplied by the Mining Act, N.C.G.S. 74-49.
Modifications
January 28, 2002: This permit has been modified to change the permittee name from
Rosewood Mine to Rosewood Farms, LLC.

boundary from undisturbed to unexcavated as indicated on the mine map received by the Land
Quality Section on March 27, 2003.

PART I INTRODUCTION
SECTION A: GENERAL PERMIT COVERAGE
All persons desiring to have facilities covered by this General Permit must register with the
Division of Water Quality (DWQ) by the filing of a Notice of Intent (NOI) and applicable fees.
The NOI shall be submitted and a certificate of coverage issued prior to any discharge of
stormwater associated with industrial activity, mine dewatering wastewater or process
wastewater that has a point source discharge to the surface waters of the state.
This General Permit covers mining and quarrying of nonmetallic minerals (except fuels)
including borrow pits that would not be covered under the statewide DOT stormwater permit)
and active or inactive mines that discharge stormwater contaminated with or that has come in
contact with, any overburden, raw material, intermediate products, finished products, byproducts
or waste products located at the site of such operations and stormwater runoff from vehicle
maintenance areas. This General Permit also covers discharge of wastewater from processing
mined materials and mine dewatering wastewater from the groundwater and/or stormwater that
accumulates in the mine pit.
Any owner or operator not wishing to be covered or limited by this General Permit may make
application for an individual NPDES permit in accordance with NPDES procedures in 15A
NCAC 2H .0100, stating the reasons supporting the request. Any application for an individual
permit should be made at least 180 days prior to commencement of discharge.
This General Permit does not cover activities or discharges covered by an individual NPDES
permit until the individual permit has expired or has been revoked. Any person conducting an
activity covered by an individual permit but which could be covered by this General Permit may
request that the individual permit be revoked and coverage under this General Permit be
provided.
Facilities submitting NOIs for coverage under this permit, prior to establishment or approval of a
Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) for a priority pollutant(s) for stormwater discharges (i.e.
wet weather flows), may be covered under this permit during its term. For such facilities
continued coverage under the reissuance of this permit is subject to the facility demonstrating
that it does not have a reasonable potential to violate applicable water quality standards for such
pollutants due to the stormwater discharge(s). For facilities that do have a reasonable potential
for violation of applicable water quality standards due to the stormwater discharge(s) the facility
shall apply for an individual permit 180 days prior to the expiration of this general permit. Once
the individual permit is issued and becomes effective the facility will no longer have coverage
under the general permit. A list of approved TMDLs for the state of North Carolina can be found
at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/tmdl/General_TMDLs.htm.

Part II Page 2 of 2

Permit No. NCG020000
PART III MONITORING, CONTROLS, AND LIMITATIONS FOR
PERMITTED DISCHARGES
SECTION A: STORMWATER BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES (BMPS) PLAN
The permittee shall implement stormwater BMPs to ensure that contaminants do not enter
surface waters via stormwater that comes in contact with any unstabilized overburden,
raw materials, intermediate products, finished products, byproducts or waste products
located on the site covered by this permit. A BMP Plan shall be developed in accordance
with the requirements of this section. The BMP Plan requirement, or portions of the plan
requirement, may be met by utilizing appropriate requirements in other documented plans
specific to the permitted facility.
2. Management of Stormwater Runoff and Runon. The permittee shall maintain stormwater
BMPs for land disturbance areas and outside process areas. In addition, controls should
be used to limit or isolate selected land disturbance and process areas and limit the
amount of off site stormwater runon to those areas. Appropriate Best Management
Practices (BMPs) should be used to divert, infiltrate, reuse or otherwise manage
stormwater runoff and runon in a manner that reduces pollutants in stormwater
discharges leaving the site. Appropriate BMPs may include but are not limited to:
vegetative swales, berms, use of reclaimed mine areas, and reuse of collected stormwater
(such as for an industrial process or as an irrigation source).
BMP Controls Inspection and Maintenance. All stormwater BMPs shall be inspected by
or under the direction of the permittee at least once every seven calendar days and within
24 hours after any storm event that results in a discharge. The BMPs implemented shall
be operated and maintained so that they are cleaned out when the sediment storage
capacity has been reduced by 50%. If any visible sedimentation is leaving the property,
corrective action shall be taken to reduce the discharge of sediments. Visible
sedimentation found offsite shall be recorded with a brief explanation as to the measures
taken to prevent future releases as well as any measures taken to remove the sediment that
left the site. All other stormwater specific controls (e.g. oil /water separators) shall be
inspected and qualitatively monitored (as per Part III.13.3) on a semiannual schedule, once
in the fall (September -November) and once during the spring (April -June). A log of
sampling data and of activities taken to implement BMPs associated with the vehicle
maintenance activities shall be maintained and incorporated into the BMP Plan and kept
onsite for the duration of the permit term and made available to the Director upon request.
4. Erosion and Sedimentation Control. The permittee shall implement the management
practices and the erosion and sedimentation control measures that are included in the
mining permit or erosion and sedimentation control permit issued by the Division of Land
Resources. Compliance with the issued permit is considered a requirement of this
general permit. Any deviation from the issued permit, or amendments to the issued
permit, that impacts water quality shall constitute a violation of the terms and conditions
of this general permit. A signed copy of the issued permit including the approved erosion
and sedimentation control measures and the reclamation plan shall be maintained on the
site at all times. Once an area is released by the Division of Land Resources in
Part III Page 1 of 9

Permit No. NCG020000
accordance with NCGS Chapter 74, Article 7, it shall no longer be subject to this general
permit.
5. Preventive Maintenance Inspections and Good Housekeeping Practices. Equipment
utilized during mining activity on a site must be operated and maintained in such a
manner as to prevent potential or actual pollution of the surface water or ground waters of
the state. Fuels, lubricants, coolants, and hydraulic fluids, or any other petroleum
products, shall not be discharged on the ground or into surface waters. Spent fluids shall
be disposed of in a manner so as not to enter the surface waters or ground waters of the
state and in accordance with applicable federal disposal regulations. Any spilled fluids
shall be cleaned up to the maximum extent practicable and disposed of in a manner that
does not allow their entry into the surface waters or ground waters of the state.
6. Secondary Containment. The permittee shall provide secondary containment for bulk
storage of liquid materials, storage of Section 313 of Title III of the Superfund
Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA) water priority chemicals, or storage of
hazardous liquids substances to prevent leaks and spills from contaminating stormwater
runoff. If the secondary containment devices are connected directly to stormwater
conveyance systems, the connection shall be controlled by manually activated valves or
other similar devices (which shall be secured with a locking mechanism) and any
stormwater that accumulates in the containment area shall be at a minimum visually
observed for color, foam, outfall staining, visible sheens and dry weather flow, prior to
release of the accumulated stormwater. Accumulated stormwater shall be released if
found to be uncontaminated by the material stored within the containment area.
SECTION B: ANALYTICAL AND QUALITATIVE MONITORING REQUIREMENTS
FOR DISCHARGES COMPOSED ENTIRELY OF STORMWATER
Analytical monitoring for stormwater discharges shall be performed for parameters as specified
in Tables 1 through 4. All analytical monitoring shall be performed during a representative storm
event as defined in Part VII. For each parameter, the arithmetic mean of all analytical sampling
results collected during the term of the permit may be calculated for each individual outfall and
compared to the cut-off concentrations listed in Tables 2 and 4. If the arithmetic mean is less
than the specified cut-off concentration for a given parameter, the facility is not required to
continue annual monitoring for that parameter (at that outfall) until the last year of the permit
unless a significant change in facility operations or configuration occurs. If a cut-off
concentration results in discontinued analytical monitoring at an individual discharge outfall, the
permittee is required to maintain facility operations that ensure the continuation of stormwater
runoff quality. The permittee must perform analytical sampling during the first and last year of
the permit term regardless of cut-off concentration conditions.
In situations where stormwater runoff is controlled by some type basin or retention/detention
pond, the following provisions are applicable for sample collection for analytical monitoring:
• Analytical monitoring for stormwater discharges from a basin or other similar control
structures must be performed within the first 30 minutes of discharge.
Part III Page 2 of 9

Permit No. NCG020000
Analytical monitoring for a basin /pond designed to contain the 10-year design storm (see
Part VII, Definitions) without discharging is not required. Qualitative monitoring for color,
foam, outfall staining, visible sheen and dry weather flow is the only monitoring requirement.
Analytical and qualitative monitoring are not required for a basin/pond designed to contain
the 25-year, 24-hour storm (see Part VII, Definitions) without discharging. A basin/ pond
meeting this provision is considered a non -discharging stormwater control.
Analytical Monitoring for Stormwater Discharges from Land Disturbance and
Process Areas.
Analytical monitoring for stormwater discharges from land disturbance and process areas
shall be performed as specified in Table 1.

NCG020000 Technical Bulletin
Specific General Permit Questions and Answers:
Q How Do I Renew My General Permit Coverage When The Permit Is Set To Expire ?
A In order to assure continued coverage under the permit you must submit the required
forms and fees as are required by the agency no later than 180 days prior to the expiration
date of permit coverage. If you do not request renewal in a timely manner you may be
subject to enforcement procedures.
Q When Do I Require A Professional Engineer Sign- off On My New or Expanded
Treatment Facility?
A The plans and specifications requirement holds for all construction of new or expanding
treatment facilities except those that are designed, constructed and put into operation by
employees intemal to the company and who are qualified to perform such work for their
respective companies in accordance with General Statues, 89C-25, paragraph 7.
Q How Do I Obtain Representative Outfall Status For My Stormwater Discharges?
A Representative outfall status may be granted for facilities with multiple stormwater outfalls
that are substantially identical. You will need to evaluate drainage area characteristics for
each outfall to assure that the outfalls selected have similar activities and materials exposed
to stormwater as those outfalls they are representative of.
You may petition the Director of the Division of Water Quality to grant representative outfall
status for your outfall(s). The following additional information must also be provided:
A drainage map identifying the drainage areas for each outfall including the size, percent
impervious, flow direction, buildings, BMPs, process areas and storage areas.
A written description of all industrial activity which has the potential to be exposed to
stormwater runoff in each drainage area and a prediction of the pollutants that may be
contained in the runoff.
If the Division approves representative outfall status then you will only have to monitor those
stormwater outfalls that 'represent* your stormwater discharge and not all of your outfalls.
Please note that Qualitative Monitoring must be conducted for all stormwater outfalls.
Representative outfall status cannot be granted for wastewater discharges.
Q What Happens When 1 Pull Samples For My Annual Analytical Monitoring And I'm
Unable To Get A Sample For One Of The Parameters?
A If this happens, it is fine to go ahead and just sample for the missing parameter during
another representative storm event. Just be sure to note the total rainfall event, and total
flow apart from the initial monitoring data.
Q Does A Certified tab Need To Be Used To Analyze Stormwater Samples?
A Yes, a North Carolina certified lab must be used to perform the analyses. The only
exception to this rule is when measuring the value of pH. pH should be measured in the field
because it may change considerably between when the sample is pulled and when the
laboratory analyzes it. A list of certified labs can be obtained from the Division's Laboratory
Section at [phone] or from their website http://h2o.enr.state.ne.us/lab/cert.htm.
Q What If I Sell My Business Or The Name of My Business Changes?
A The Division views changes of name or ownership as a modification that requires the
Director's approval and reissuance of the permit. Name and ownership changes require you
to complete a Name/Ownership Change Form from the Division and mail it back to us at the
address below along with all required information.
Q&Acon't
Q How Do Cutoff Concentrations
for Stormwater Work?
A The cut-off concentrations are used
to compare against the average
analytical monitoring data for
stormwater discharges. When the
average monitoring data are below the
cutoff concentrations, monitoring can
be suspended at that outfall for that
parameter until the last year of the
permit term. The inclusion of 'cut-offs'
allow facilities with low pollutant levels
to reduce monitoring efforts.
Key Terns In The Permit:
Mine Dewaterinc — includes any water
that is impounded in, or that collects
in, the mine and is pumped, drained
or otherwise removed from the mine
through the efforts of the mine
operator. However, if a mine is also
used for treatment of process waste
water, discharges of commingled
water from the facilities shall be
deemed discharges of process
wastewater.
Process Wastewater — includes any
wastewater used in the slurry
transport, washing, sawing of mined
material, air emissions control or
processing exclusive of mining. This
water shall also include any other
water which becomes commingled
with such wastewater in a pit, pond,
lagoon, mine or other treatment
facility for such wastewater.
Treatment Facilities — includes any
pit, pond, lagoon, basin, mine or
containment structure used to treat or
contain process wastewater
generated on mine sites. These
facilities are required to be used to
meet Effluent Limitations and are not
stormwater Best Management
Practices (BMPs).
