Dear Mr. Gruninger:
In accordance with your .application for. a discharge.permit received on February 21,
2014, we are forwarding herewith the subject certificate of coverage to discharge under the
subject state - NPDES general permit. This permit is issued pursuant to the requirements of
North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and the Memorandum of Agreement between North
Carolina and the US Environmental Protection Agency dated October 15, 2007 (or as
subsequently amended).
This certificate of coverage is not transferable. If the facility changes ownership or is
closed, the Division of Energy Mineral & Land Resources may require modification, revocation
or reissuance of the certificate of coverage.
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 111, Section E of your permit. You must have an approved Operation and
Monitoring Plan before mine dewatering discharges occur at your facility. Discharging
mine dewatering wastewater without Plan approval will be subject to enforcement action. An
Operation and Monitoring Plan for your facility must be submitted to the Washington
Regional Office within 60 days of your receipt of this permit. Contact Pat McClain at the
Washington Regional Office at [phone] for more information about the approval
process.
Please note that mine dewatering wastewater includes wet pit 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.

This general permit allows the discharge of stormwater and certain types of
wastewater from your facility. In your application, you specified that only mine dewatering
water would be discharged from this facility. If separate point -source discharges of
stormwater occur (i.e., stormwater not combined with mine dewatering water), you will be .
required to adhere to the conditions in this permit for stormwater discharges.
This project is located in one of North Carolina's 20 coastal counties. Coastal
stormwater management rules (15A NCAC 2H .1000) may require an additional State
Stormwater Permit (different from the NPDES mining activities discharge permit). Please
contact Pat McClain in the Washington Regional Office at [phone] to determine if:, -
you will be required to submit an application for a State Stormwater permit.W.

Enclosed are two copies of an application to dewater and discharge at the Cahoon
Mine in Dare County.
This is an existing mine site and is operating under mining permit No. 28-15. The
mine operator is proposing to dewater the pit areas from time to time and discharge no
more than 150,000 gallons of water on any given day. The discharge will be on site at the
center back of the site as indicated on the enclosed Mine Maps.
It is my belief that no impact will occur to any wetlands, surface waters or
groundwater by the dewatering activities.
If you have any questions, please feel free to give me a call.

Larry,
In reviewing the comments from DWR on this site, they have indicated concerns about dewatering due to the
proximity of wetlands near the mine. However, DWR has no objections to the issuance of the permit provided
there is no pumping until there is a preliminary jurisdiction delineation and an acceptable O & M plan for the
protection of any surrounding waters of the State plan be submitted

Subject: General Permit No. NCG020000

COC NCG020857
Dare County
In accordance with your application for a discharge permit received on February 21,
2014, we are forwarding herewith the subject certificate of coverage to discharge under the
subject state - NPDES general permit. This permit is issued pursuant to the requirements of
North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and the Memorandum of Agreement between North
Carolina and the US Environmental Protection Agency dated October 15, 2007 (or as
subsequently amended).
This certificate of coverage is not transferable. If the facility changes ownership or is
closed, the Division of Energy Mineral & Land Resources may require modification, revocation
or reissuance of the certificate of coverage.
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. You must have an approved Operation and
Monitoring Plan before mine dewatering discharges occur at your facility. Discharging
mine dewatering wastewater without Plan approval will be subject to enforcement action. An
Operation and Monitoring Plan for your facility must be submitted to the Washington
Regional Office within 60 days of your receipt of this permit. Contact Pat McClain at the
Washington Regional Office at [phone] for more information about the approval
process.
Please note that mine dewatering wastewater includes wet pit 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.

This general permit allows the discharge of stormwater and certain types of
wastewater from your facility. In your application, you specified that only mine dewatering
water would be discharged from this facility. If separate point -source discharges of
stormwater occur (i.e., stormwater not combined with mine dewatering water), you will be
required to adhere to the conditions in this permit for stormwater discharges.
This project is located in one of North Carolina's 20 coastal counties. Coastal
stormwater management rules (15A NCAC 2H .1000) may require an additional State
Stormwater Permit (different from the NPDES mining activities discharge permit). Please
contact Pat McClain in the Washington Regional Office at [phone] to determine if
you will be required to submit an application for a State Stormwater permit.
i
This permit does not affect the legal obligation to obtain other permits which may be
required by the Division of Energy, Mining, and Land Resources, or any other federal, state, or
local authorities.
If you have any questions concerning this permit, please contact Larry Wade PE at

Enclosed are two copies of an application to dewater and discharge at the Cahoon
Mine in Dare County.
This is an existing mine site and is operating under mining permit No. 28-15. The
mine operator is proposing to dewater the pit areas from time to time and discharge no
more than 150,000 gallons of water on any given day. The discharge will be on site at the
center back of the site as indicated on the enclosed Mine Maps.
It is my belief that no impact will occur to any wetlands, surface waters or
groundwater by the dewatering activities.
1f you have any questions, please feel free to give me a call.

Larry,
In reviewing the comments from DWR on this site, they have indicated concerns about dewatering due to the
proximity of wetlands near the mine. However, DWR has no objections to the issuance of the permit provided
there is no pumping until there is a preliminary jurisdiction delineation and an acceptable 0 & M plan for the
protection of any surrounding waters of the State plan be submitted

APPROVED RECLAMATION PLAN
The Mining Permit incorporates this Reclamation Plan, the performance of which is a condition
on the continuing validity of that Mining Permit. Additionally, the Reclamation Plan is a
separable obligation of the permittee, which continues beyond the terms of the Mining Permit.
The approved plan provides:
Minimum Standards As Provided By G.S. 74-53
The final slopes in all excavations in soil, sand, gravel and other unconsolidated
materials shall be at such an angle as to minimize the possibility of slides and be
consistent with the future use of the land.
Provisions for safety to persons and to adjoining property must be provided in all
excavations in rock.
All overburden and spoil shall be left in a configuration which is in accordance with
accepted conservation practices and which is suitable for the proposed subsequent use
of the land.
4. No small pools of water shall be allowed to collect or remain on the mined area that are,
or are likely to become noxious, odious or foul.
5. The revegetation plan shall conform to accepted and recommended agronomic and
reforestation practices as established by the North Carolina Agricultural Experiment
Station and the North Carolina Forest Service.
Permittee shall conduct reclamation activities pursuant to the Reclamation Plan herein
incorporated. These activities shall be conducted according to the time schedule
included in the plan, which shall to the extent feasible provide reclamation simultaneous
with mining operations and in any event, provide reclamation at the earliest practicable
time after completion or termination of mining on any segment of the permit area and
shall be completed within two years after completion or termination of mining.
RECLAMATION CONDITIONS:
Provided further, and subject to the Reclamation schedule, the planned reclamation
shall be to restore the mine excavation to a lake area and to grade and revegetate the
adjacent disturbed areas.
The specifications for surface gradient restoration to a surface suitable for the planned
future use are as follows:
A. The lake area shall be excavated to maintain a minimum water depth of four feet
measured from the low water table elevation.

B. The side slopes to the lake excavation shall be graded to a 3 horizontal to 1
vertical or flatter to the water line and 2 horizontal to 1 vertical or flatter below the
water line.
C. Any areas used for wastepiles, screening, stockpiling or other processing shall
be leveled and smoothed.
D. No contaminants shall be permanently disposed of at the mine site. On -site
disposal of waste shall be in accordance with Operating Condition Nos. 10A
through 10D.
E. The affected land shall be graded to prevent the collection of noxious or foul
water.
3. Revegetation Plan:
After site preparation, all disturbed land areas shall be revegetated as per the
Revegetation Plan approved by Mr. Floyd R. Williams, PG, CPG of Williams
Environmental & Geological Services, PLLC on January 10, 2013.
Whenever possible, disturbed areas should be vegetated with native warm season
grasses such as switch grass, Indian grass, bluestem and gamma grass.
In addition, the permittee shall consult with a professional wildlife biologist with the N.C.
Wildlife Resources Commission to enhance post -project wildlife habitat at the site.
4. Reclamation Plan:
Reclamation shall be conducted simultaneously with mining to the extent feasible. In
any event, reclamation shall be initiated as soon as feasible after completion or
termination of mining of any mine segment under permit. Final reclamation, including
revegetation, shall be completed within two years of completion or termination of
mining. ,
This permit, issued to Scott L. Cahoon September 13, 1994, transferred to Fresh Pond

SEQUENCE OF MINING AND RECLAMATION
Cell 1 will be excavated first. A berm will be placed around proposed Cell 2.
This area will receive water pumped from Cell 1 up to 1/2 height of dike.
During excavation of Cell 1 a berm will be constructed around it with an
opening left for access. Once mining is completed in Cell 1, the opening will
be closed off and area will be utilized for water pumped for Cell area 2. This
process will continue until mining has been completed in each cell. Areas left
between cells will be excavated down. Berm will be utilized for products to
sell as they are no longer needed. Reclamation will consist of sloping lake
side slopes to 3H to IV to water line and H to V from water line to Cell
bottom. All areas outside lake area will be properly graded and provided with
a vegetative ground cover.
