Re: Tick Bite Pit NPDES Permit
Application
I am respectfully submitting an application for an NPDES
discharge permit for a borrow pit in Lenoir County.
An on -site determination of potential jurisdictional features was
performed by HDR, Inc. which determined that a blue line ditch is
located within the proposed permitted area along the most northern
property line. The location of the blue line ditch and the proposed
buffer is also shown on the enclosed site plan.
Barnhill Contracting Company proposes to pump water from a rim
ditch into the existing pond as shown on the mine map during the
excavation. Water will be pumped into the pond utilizing a 6"
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 for 24
hours during mining. We have also applied for a CCPCUA withdrawal
permit through division of Water Resources since this site is within
Lenoir 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
