Skvarla, III Secretary December 1, 2014 Subject: General Permit No. NCG020000 Thomas Pit COC NCG020871 Craven County In accordance with your application for a discharge permit received on October 3, 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 dewat6ring 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 Wilmington Regional Office within 60 days of your receipt of this permit. Contact Patrick McClain at the Washington Regional Office at (252) 946-6481 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.

An on -site determination of potential jurisdictional features was performed by the Land Management Group. The location of the wetlands and the proposed buffers are also shown on the enclosed site plan. We have also included the wetland survey approved by the Army Corps of Engineers. Barnhill Contracting Company proposes to pump water from a rim ditch into the dewatering basin as shown on the mine map during the initial start of the excavation. This basin has been designed for a 1,000 gallons per minute pump and a detention time of 2 days. Once this area is mined out, it will then be used for storage of dewatering from the next phase of the mining area. Water will be pumped into the basin and pond utilizing a 6" submersible pump (Thompson Pump Model 46BST) at an average rate of approximately 650 gallons per minute. This pit will be operated for Barnhill Contracting projects only and will not be run on a continual basis. Use will be determined by demand for sand for local projects. Because of the nature of this work, withdrawal rates and discharge will vary greatly from month to month. We intend to dewater only when we are actively mining sand and not on a continuous basis. During times of mining we will typically work 12 hour days and pump during those times. Therefore, any discharges will be kept to a minimum. We have also applied for a CCPCUA withdrawal permit through division of Water Resources since this site is within Craven County. Erosion control measures will be installed onsite prior to any land disturbance taking place. Please reference the site plan for a more detailed depiction of these measures. Any water within the mining area will be directed to drain towards the pit. There are also diversion ditches with check dams along both sides of the haul road to control runoff from this area. Please find enclosed one (1) original and two (2) copies of the NPDES Notice of Intent Permit Application and supporting documents. Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.

An on -site determination of potential jurisdictional features was performed by the Land Management Group. The location of the wetlands and the proposed buffers are also shown on the enclosed site plan. We have also included the wetland survey approved by the Army Corps of Engineers. Barnhill Contracting Company proposes to pump water from a rim ditch into the dewatering basin as shown on the mine map during the initial start of the excavation. This basin has been designed for a 1,000 gallons per minute pump and a detention time of 2 days. Once this area is mined out, it will then be used for storage of dewatering from the next phase of the mining area. Water will be pumped into the basin and pond utilizing a 611 submersible pump (Thompson Pump Model 46HST) at an average rate of approximately 650 gallons per minute. This pit will be operated for Barnhill Contracting projects only and will not be run on a continual basis. Use will be determined by demand for sand for local projects. Because of the nature of this work, withdrawal rates and discharge will vary greatly from month to month. We intend to dewater only when we are actively mining sand and not.on a continuous basis. During times of mining we will typically work 12 hour days and pump during those times. Therefore, any discharges will be kept to a minimum. We have also applied for a CCPCUA withdrawal permit through division of Water Resources since this site is within Craven County. Erosion control measures will be installed onsite prior to any land disturbance taking place. Please reference the site plan for a more detailed depiction of these measures. Any water within the mining area will be directed to drain towards the pit. There are also diversion ditches with check dams along both sides of the haul road to control runoff from this area. Please find enclosed one (1) original and two (2) copies of the NPDES Notice of Intent Permit Application and supporting documents. Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.

An on -site determination of potential jurisdictional features was performed by the Land Management Group,. The location of the wetlands and the proposed buffers are also shown on the enclosed site plan. We have also included the wetland survey approved by the Army Corps of Engineers. Barnhill Contracting Company proposes to pump water from a rim ditch into the dewatering basin as shown on the mine map during the initial start of the excavation. This basin has been designed for a 1,000 gallons per minute pump and a detention time of 2 days. Once this area is mined out, it will then be used for storage of dewatering from the next phase of the mining area. Water will be pumped into the basin and pond utilizing a 611 submersible pump (Thompson Pump Model 46HST) at an average rate of approximately 650 gallons per minute. This pit will be operated for Barnhill Contracting projects only and will not be run on a continual basis. Use will be determined by demand for sand for local projects. Because of the nature of this work, withdrawal rates and discharge will vary greatly from month to month. We intend to dewater only when we are actively mining sand and not on a continuous basis. During times of mining we will typically work 12 hour days and pump during those times. Therefore, any discharges will be kept to a minimum. We have also applied for a CCPCUA withdrawal permit through division of Water Resources since this site is within Craven County. Erosion control measures will be installed onsite prior to any land disturbance taking place. Please reference the site plan for a more detailed depiction of these measures. Any water within the mining area will be directed to drain towards the pit. There are also diversion ditches with check dams along both sides of the haul road to control runoff from this area. Please find enclosed one (1) original and two (2) copies of the NPDES Notice of Intent Permit Application and supporting documents. Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us. Yours Very Truly, Barnhill Contracting Company At Jonathan Proctor Project Manager Enclosures 0.
