In accordance with your application for a discharge permit received on June 24, 2016, 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).
Please take notice that this certificate of coverage is not transferable except after notice to the Division of
Energy, Mineral, and Land Resources. The Division may require modification or revocation and
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.
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

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE PLAN
SAND MINE DEWATERING AND WATER LEVEL CONTROL STRUCTURE
Operator: Timothy J. Corprew, River Farms, LLC, 910 Wynne Fork Road, Hertford, NC 27944
Job Location: River Farms Mine, Harvey Point Road, Hertford, NC 27944
County: Perquimans County
Prepared by: Ken Elliott, consulting
Date: June 22, 2016
This plan defines responsibilities for operating, inspecting, and maintaining equipment and structures
used for constructing and dewatering the River farms Mine safely, and that dewatering will not degrade
or negatively impact any wetlands or waters of the state.
Description and Operation of the River Farms Mine:
The River Farms Mine is a proposed 35.6-acre sand mine excavation operated by River Farms, LLC,
Timothy J. Corprew, owner, in an 83.66-acre permit area located on Harvey Point Road. The site is
approximately .50 miles south of Hertford, NC, in the Town of Hertford Extraterritorial Jurisdiction area.
The permit area is on high sandy land, recently cleared, and currently under cultivation as a turf grass
farm. At this time Mr. Corprew is submitting an application with the NCDEQ Division of Energy, Mineral
and Land Resources to construct the sand mine and begin operation in July 2016. Mr. Corprew is also
submitting an application for a Special Use Permit from the Town of Hertford Planning Department for
construction of this mine.
Sand Mine Dewatering:
It will be necessary to dewater the excavation as it is being excavated to allow the excavating equipment
to enter the excavated area in order to safely and efficiently remove the sand from the pond bottom.
This will allow for full depth excavation and proper reclamation of the edges of the pond. It is the
intention of Mr. Corprew to only dewater the excavations as needed, which will not entail full-time
dewatering.
For excavation purposes, dewatering will occur roughly every 30 days which will allow excavating
equipment to remove approximately 150 loads of sand up to ground level where it will be stockpiled for
later use. When the stockpile is depleted from usage, the excavation area will again be dewatered, and
another quantity of sand will be excavated.
The operator plans to initially excavate two 1.82-acre ponds on the north and south sides of the
excavation area, both being located inside the main excavation area. Initially used as water sources for
the turf farm, the ponds will be later used as sedimentation ponds during the main pond excavation.
The ponds will be constructed with 3:1 slopes above normal groundwater height with full groundcover
installed, and 2:1 slopes below normal groundwater level. Once the small ponds are completed the rest
of the 35.6-acre main excavation will begin between the sediment ponds and the east end of the
excavation area. The edge of the sediment pond excavations and main excavation will be a minimum of

100 feet from the nearest wetlands. Use of the sediment ponds will forcibly hydrate the nearby
wetlands located north and south of the sediment ponds and excavation, and will minimize dehydration
of the swampy land.
The operator will install an 8-inch dewatering pump between the main excavation and the closest
sediment pond. Discharge from the dewatering pump will enter the sediment pond on its east end, and
there will be a constructed water height control device (see attached diagram) discharge point located
on the west end of the sediment pond. The discharge point will release clear water to a 25-foot-long
riprap-protected ditch, which then leads 75 feet to wetlands, then 1200 feet through wetlands to the
Perquimans River.
Water will be pumped from the main pond to the sediment pond by the Bin gasoline -powered transfer
pump operating at idle speed. Operator will utilize one or both sediment ponds and pumps as needed.
Estimated maximum flow from each pump will be 8300 gallons/hour, 0.20 mgd (4150 gallons / hour /
pump). It is the intention of Mr. Corprew to drop the water level in the main pond approximately 20 -
25 feet below normal ground level when needed.
The overflow from the sediment pond will be controlled by a water height control device constructed in
the west bank of the sediment pond in use. This control structure will allow water to flow through the
baffle into a 2Sft long x 15" wide buried PVC pipe leading 25 feet to a 6ft wide drainage ditch running
north or south 75 feet to wetlands and then 1200 feet to the Perquimans River. For erosion control, the
overflow water will exit the water height control discharge pipe onto a 20ft long riprap-lined apron in
the ditch.
Time and distance will allow all sedimentation to occur to acceptable levels in the sediment ponds
before the overflow water reaches outfall and then the waters of the State. Water will have to travel a
minimum of 400 feet in the sediment pond to reach the overflow point, which will give enough surface
area to allow sufficient sedimentation to occur. There will be a minimum 2 feet of freeboard between
the water surface in the sediment pond and the top of the sediment pond bank. Stormwater drainage
will be unable to enter the sediment area due to the height of the sediment pond berm and damaging
sediment pond rates.
Sedimentation and Erosion Control
There is wetland swamp on the north and south side of the proposed excavation, located 100 feet from
the excavation edge, running parallel to the affected area boundary. The operator will establish a 50ft
undisturbed buffer (no disturbance of any kind) between the southwest boundary of the affected area
and the adjacent wetland area. This buffer will be maintained by the operator as pasture with grass and
pine tree ground cover.
In addition, there will be a 50ft unexcavated buffer (may contain roadways, stockpiles, and sediment &
erosion control devices) around the entire excavation area, between the excavation and the
undisturbed buffer.

Sediment pond overflow will drain into a constructed 6ft wide drainage ditch that leads 25 feet to a field
irrigation and drainage ditch, then 75 feet to wetlands and then 1200 to the Perquimans River.
Overflow into the outfall ditch will be stabilized by riprap installed in the ditch at the overflow (see
diagram) to prevent erosion of the ditch.
All erosion and sedimentation will remain inside of the permit area. The operator will construct and
maintain an 8ft wide x 2ft tall grass -covered sand berm around the perimeter of the current affected
area of the excavation during all phases of operation. During mining operations and dewatering, the
majority of the water leaving the excavation will remain inside of the permit area and will only overflow
through the sediment pond occasionally. The sediment pond will be approximately 10 feet deep, and
there is a sand layer below the bottom of the area. The porosity of the soil under the sediment pond
will allow most of the water pumped into the pond from dewatering to seep back into the ground
naturally. Any excess water overflowing from the sediment pond will flow downstream 1200 feet to
wetlands leading to Perquimans River.
Maintaining the Sediment Pond Overflow Control Structure, Settlement Pond and Ditches
Inspections and maintenance are required to obtain the intended function of safely dewatering the sand
mine, and to maintain the life of any adjacent wetlands or waters of the State. Items to inspect and
maintain during the anticipated 10-year life of the mine dewatering permit are:
• Inspect the water control structures regularly, especially following heavy rains and runoff, or
during periods of operation of the structure.
• Remove accumulated debris from the overflow control structure.
• Inspect the structure for excessive settlement or seepage.
• Inspect all components of the structure, including appurtenances, and repair or replace any
damaged items as needed.
• Inspect embankments, berms and appurtenant structures, and repair as needed.
• Repair any damage to vegetated areas or berms with compacted earth fill, reshaping, sodding,
reseeding and mulching as needed.
• Inspect riprap outlet stabilization structures in ditches regularly, replace dislodged rock as
necessary.
• Promptly repair all leaks in delivery facilities by replacing valves, fittings, gaskets, and worn or
damaged parts.
• Maintain all screens, filters, valves, timers and other electrical and mechanical equipment in
good operating condition, following manufacturer's recommendations
Monitoring the Process and Effects of Dewatering
Analytical and qualitative monitoring of mine dewatering wastewater will be in accordance with the
NCG020000 permit, as follows:

• All ponds in the River Farms Mine permit area will be inspected daily by the operator to identify
any abnormal conditions.
• All berms and erosion control and sedimentation control structures will be inspected for
damages monthly and within 24 hours after every storm event greater than 1.5 inches, and all
structures will be repaired immediately.
• Special inspections will be conducted immediately following severe storms, vandalism, and
other significant events.
• Dewatering process will be inspected daily during periods of dewatering the excavation.
• Overflow of wastewater process will be inspected daily during periods of dewatering the
excavation.
• Outflow of dewatering wastewater will be monitored quarterly at the overflow exit stabilization
structure for pH, settleable solids, turbidity, and total flow. Samples will be collected and tested
onsite for pH, and the remainder will be tested for the remaining parameters by a North
Carolina certified lab.
• Rain gauge data will be collected by monitoring rain gauge data monthly and after each rain
event.
Records
Data will be collected as follows:
• Data will be collected from samples taken from the wastewater point source discharge in
operation at the time.
• Point source discharge data: data from the site taken quarterly, date & time, general weather
conditions, pH of sample, status of process at point source, inlet or outlet, other DWQ required
data.
• Visual monitoring of adjacent wetlands and farmland for potential dehydration during mining or
dewatering activities will take place weekly. Solutions to any degradation caused by any mining
activity will include alteration of dewatering process. DWQ will be consulted as needed;
alterations to process will be recorded.
• Elliott Consulting will maintain the following records in a permanent file at the Elliott Consulting
office at PO Box 112, 202 Elliott Road, Aydlett, NC 27916: a record of all significant actions
taken; as -built drawings; permits; analytical results from sampling; and related material. Copies
of all inspections, monitoring reports and lab analyses shall be provided to NCDWQ on a regular
basis and as requested.
BMP Conditions
• The permittee will utilize best management practices to ensure that dewatering the River Farms
Mine will not degrade or negatively impact any wetlands or waters of the State. BMP's will
include:

o Sediment pond outlet structure with flashboard riser located at edge of pond for ease of
maintenance.
o All berms and erosion control and sedimentation control structures will be inspected for
damages monthly and within 24 hours after every storm event greater than 1.5 inches,
and all structures will be repaired immediately.
o Sediment pond outlet ditch will have rock lining or riprap stone layer to prevent erosion,
scour or sloughing of embankment
• The permittee shall obtain authorization from the Director of the NCDEMLR and the Stormwater
Program chief prior to utilizing any chemical flocculants at Robert White Sand Mine.

Comment: This was a quick site inspection as I had heard brief mention of some recent E&S issue at the
site The operation was pumping water at the time when I was there to spray heads which will
water the sod farm at the site Very little water if any will discharge from the operation as
irrigating the sod will generally drawdown the water in the exavated arealpond therefore not
discharging The site was not discharging during this site visit The pump had a slight fuel leak
that was discussed with the operator and he stated the leak would be repaired ASAP. No other
issues were observed during this inspection Jay Edwards and myself walked downstream of
the discharge outlet and did not see sediment deposits or other complications downstream of
the operation.

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE PLAN
SAND MINE DEWATERING AND WATER LEVEL CONTROL STRUCTURE
Operator: Timothy J. Corprew, River Farms, LLC, 910 Wynne Fork Road, Hertford, NC 27944
Job Location: River Farms Mine, Harvey Point Road, Hertford, NC 27944
County: Perquimans County
Prepared by: Ken Elliott, consulting
Date: June 22, 2016
This plan defines responsibilities for operating, inspecting, and maintaining equipment and structures
used for constructing and dewatering the River farms Mine safely, and that dewatering will not degrade
or negatively impact any wetlands or waters of the state.
Description and Operation of the River Farms Mine:
The River Farms Mine is a proposed 35.6-acre sand mine excavation operated by River Farms, LLC,
Timothy J. Corprew, owner, in an 83.66-acre permit area located on Harvey Point Road. The site is
approximately .50 miles south of Hertford, NC, in the Town of Hertford Extraterritorial Jurisdiction area.
The permit area is on high sandy land, recently cleared, and currently under cultivation as a turf grass
farm. At this time Mr. Corprew is submitting an application with the NCDEQ Division of Energy, Mineral
and Land Resources to construct the sand mine and begin operation in July 2016. Mr. Corprew is also
submitting an application for a Special Use Permit from the Town of Hertford Planning Department for
construction of this mine.
Sand Mine Dewatering:
It will be necessary to dewater the excavation as it is being excavated to allow the excavating equipment
to enter the excavated area in order to safely and efficiently remove the sand from the pond bottom.
This will allow for full depth excavation and proper reclamation of the edges of the pond. It is the
intention of Mr. Corprew to only dewater the excavations as needed, which will not entail full-time
dewatering.
For excavation purposes, dewatering will occur roughly every 30 days which will allow excavating
equipment to remove approximately 150 loads of sand up to ground level where it will be stockpiled for
later use. When the stockpile is depleted from usage, the excavation area will again be dewatered, and
another quantity of sand will be excavated.
The operator plans to initially excavate two 1.82-acre ponds on the north and south sides of the
excavation area, both being located inside the main excavation area. Initially used as water sources for
the turf farm, the ponds will be later used as sedimentation ponds during the main pond excavation.
The ponds will be constructed with 3:1 slopes above normal groundwater height with full groundcover
installed, and 2:1 slopes below normal groundwater level. Once the small ponds are completed the rest
of the 35.6-acre main excavation will begin between the sediment ponds and the east end of the
excavation area. The edge of the sediment pond excavations and main excavation will be a minimum of

100 feet from the nearest wetlands. Use of the sediment ponds will forcibly hydrate the nearby
wetlands located north and south of the sediment ponds and excavation, and will minimize dehydration
of the swampy land.
The operator will install an 8-inch dewatering pump between the main excavation and the closest
sediment pond. Discharge from the dewatering pump will enter the sediment pond on its east end, and
there will be a constructed water height control device (see attached diagram) discharge point located
on the west end of the sediment pond. The discharge point will release clear water to a 25-foot-long
riprap-protected ditch, which then leads 75 feet to wetlands, then 1200 feet through wetlands to the
Perquimans River.
Water will be pumped from the main pond to the sediment pond by the 8in gasoline -powered transfer
pump operating at idle speed. Operator will utilize one or both sediment ponds and pumps as needed.
Estimated maximum flow from each pump will be 8300 gallons/hour, 0.20 mgd (4150 gallons / hour /
pump). It is the intention of Mr. Corprew to drop the water level in the main pond approximately 20 -
25 feet below normal ground level when needed.
The overflow from the sediment pond will be controlled by a water height control device constructed in
the west bank of the sediment pond in use. This control structure will allow water to flow through the
baffle into a 25ft long x 15" wide buried PVC pipe leading 25 feet to a 6ft wide drainage ditch running
north or south 75 feet to wetlands and then 1200 feet to the Perquimans River. For erosion control, the
overflow water will exit the water height control discharge pipe onto a 20ft long riprap-lined apron in
the ditch.
Time and distance will allow all sedimentation to occur to acceptable levels in the sediment ponds
before the overflow water reaches outfall and then the waters of the State. Water will have to travel a
minimum of 400 feet in the sediment pond to reach the overflow point, which will give enough surface
area to allow sufficient sedimentation to occur. There will be a minimum 2 feet of freeboard between
the water surface in the sediment pond and the top of the sediment pond bank. Stormwater drainage
will be unable to enter the sediment area due to the height of the sediment pond berm and damaging
sediment pond rates.
Sedimentation and Erosion Control
There is wetland swamp on the north and south side of the proposed excavation, located 100 feet from
the excavation edge, running parallel to the affected area boundary. The operator will establish a 50ft
undisturbed buffer (no disturbance of any kind) between the southwest boundary of the affected area
and the adjacent wetland area. This buffer will be maintained by the operator as pasture with grass and
pine tree ground cover.
In addition, there will be a 50ft unexcavated buffer (may contain roadways, stockpiles, and sediment &
erosion control devices) around the entire excavation area, between the excavation and the
undisturbed buffer.

Sediment pond overflow will drain into a constructed 6ft wide drainage ditch that leads 25 feet to a field
irrigation and drainage ditch, then 75 feet to wetlands and then 1200 to the Perquimans River.
Overflow into the outfall ditch will be stabilized by riprap installed in the ditch at the overflow (see
diagram) to prevent erosion of the ditch.
All erosion and sedimentation will remain inside of the permit area. The operator will construct and
maintain an 8ft wide x 2ft tall grass -covered sand berm around the perimeter of the current affected
area of the excavation during all phases of operation. During mining operations and dewatering, the
majority of the water leaving the excavation will remain inside of the permit area and will only overflow
through the sediment pond occasionally. The sediment pond will be approximately 10 feet deep, and
there is a sand layer below the bottom of the area. The porosity of the soil under the sediment pond
will allow most of the water pumped into the pond from dewatering to seep back into the ground
naturally. Any excess water overflowing from the sediment pond will flow downstream 1200 feet to
wetlands leading to Perquimans River.
Maintaining the Sediment Pond Overflow Control Structure, Settlement Pond and Ditches
Inspections and maintenance are required to obtain the intended function of safely dewatering the sand
mine, and to maintain the life of any adjacent wetlands or waters of the State. Items to inspect and
maintain during the anticipated 10-year life of the mine dewatering permit are:
• Inspect the water control structures regularly, especially following heavy rains and runoff, or
during periods of operation of the structure.
• Remove accumulated debris from the overflow control structure.
• Inspect the structure for excessive settlement or seepage.
• Inspect all components of the structure, including appurtenances, and repair or replace any
damaged items as needed.
e Inspect embankments, berms and appurtenant structures, and repair as needed.
o Repair any damage to vegetated areas or berms with compacted earth fill, reshaping, sodding,
reseeding and mulching as needed.
• Inspect riprap outlet stabilization structures in ditches regularly, replace dislodged rock as
necessary.
• Promptly repair all leaks in delivery facilities by replacing valves, fittings, gaskets, and worn or
damaged parts.
• Maintain all screens, filters, valves, timers and other electrical and mechanical equipment in
good operating condition, following manufacturer's recommendations
Monitoring the Process and Effects of Dewatering
Analytical and qualitative monitoring of mine dewatering wastewater will be in accordance with the
NCG020000 permit, as follows:

• All ponds in the River Farms Mine permit area will be inspected daily by the operator to identify
any abnormal conditions.
• All berms and erosion control and sedimentation control structures will be inspected for
damages monthly and within 24 hours after every storm event greater than 1.5 inches, and all
structures will be repaired immediately.
• Special inspections will be conducted immediately following severe storms, vandalism, and
other significant events.
• Dewatering process will be inspected daily during periods of dewatering the excavation.
• Overflow of wastewater process will be inspected daily during periods of dewatering the
excavation.
• Outflow of dewatering wastewater will be monitored quarterly at the overflow exit stabilization
structure for pH, settleable solids, turbidity, and total flow. Samples will be collected and tested
onsite for pH, and the remainder will be tested for the remaining parameters by a North
Carolina certified lab.
e Rain gauge data will be collected by monitoring rain gauge data monthly and after each rain
event.
Records
Data will be collected as follows:
• Data will be collected from samples taken from the wastewater point source discharge in
operation at the time.
• Point source discharge data: data from the site taken quarterly, date & time, general weather
conditions, pH of sample, status of process at point source, inlet or outlet, other DWQ required
data.
e Visual monitoring of adjacent wetlands and farmland for potential dehydration during mining or
dewatering activities will take place weekly. Solutions to any degradation caused by any mining
activity will include alteration of dewatering process. DWQ will be consulted as needed;
alterations to process will be recorded.
• Elliott Consulting will maintain the following records in a permanent file at the Elliott Consulting
office at PO Box 112, 202 Elliott Road, Aydlett, NC 27916: a record of all significant actions
taken; as -built drawings; permits; analytical results from sampling; and related material. Copies
of all inspections, monitoring reports and lab analyses shall be provided to NCDWQ on a regular
basis and as requested.
BMP Conditions
e The permittee will utilize best management practices to ensure that dewatering the River Farms
Mine will not degrade or negatively impact any wetlands or waters of the State. BMP's will
include:

o Sediment pond outlet structure with flashboard riser located at edge of pond for ease of
maintenance.
o All berms and erosion control and sedimentation control structures will be inspected for
damages monthly and within 24 hours after every storm event greater than 1.5 inches,
and all structures will be repaired immediately.
o Sediment pond outlet ditch will have rock lining or riprap stone layer to prevent erosion,
scour or sloughing of embankment
• The permittee shall obtain authorization from the Director of the NCDEMLR and the Stormwater
Program chief prior to utilizing any chemical flocculants at Robert White Sand Mine.

Description and Operation of the River Farms Mine:
The River Farms Mine is a proposed 35.6-acre sand mine excavation operated by River Farms, LLC,
Timothy J. Corprew, owner, in an 83.66-acre permit area located on Harvey Point Road. The site is
approximately .50 miles south of Hertford, NC, in the Town of Hertford Extraterritorial Jurisdiction area.
The permit area is on high sandy land, recently cleared, and currently under cultivation as a turf grass

equipment to remove approximately 150 loads of sand up to ground level where it will be stockpiled for
later use. When the stockpile is depleted from usage, the excavation area will again be dewatered, and
another quantity of sand will be excavated.
The operator plans to initially excavate two 1.82-acre ponds on the north and south sides of the
excavation area, both being located inside the main excavation area. Initially used as water sources for
the turf farm, the ponds will be later used as sedimentation ponds during the main pond excavation.
The ponds will be constructed with 3:1 slopes above normal groundwater height with full groundcover

there will be a constructed water height control device (see attached diagram) discharge point located
on the west end of the sediment pond. The discharge point will release clear water to a 25-foot-long
riprap-protected ditch, which then leads 75 feet to wetlands, then 1200 feet through wetlands to the
Perquimans River.
Water will be pumped from the main pond to the sediment pond by the Bin gasoline -powered transfer
pump operating at idle speed. Operator will utilize one or both sediment ponds and pumps as needed.
Estimated maximum flow from each pump will be 8300 gallons/hour, 0.20 mgd (4150 gallons / hour /
pump). It is the intention of Mr. Corprew to drop the water level in the main pond approximately 20 -
25 feet below normal ground level when needed.
The overflow from the sediment pond will be controlled by a water height control device constructed in
the west bank of the sediment pond in use. This control structure will allow water to flow through the
baffle into a 25ft long x 15" wide buried PVC pipe leading 25 feet to a 6ft wide drainage ditch running
north or south 75 feet to wetlands and then 1200 feet to the Perquimans River. For erosion control, the

the water surface in the sediment pond and the top of the sediment pond bank. Stormwater drainage
will be unable to enter the sediment area due to the height of the sediment pond berm and damaging
sediment pond rates.
Sedimentation and Erosion Control
There is wetland swamp on the north and south side of the proposed excavation, located 100 feet from

undisturbed buffer (no disturbance of any kind) between the southwest boundary of the affected area
and the adjacent wetland area. This buffer will be maintained by the operator as pasture with grass and
pine tree ground cover.
In addition, there will be a 50ft unexcavated buffer (may contain roadways, stockpiles, and sediment &
erosion control devices) around the entire excavation area, between the excavation and the
undisturbed buffer.

Sediment pond overflow will drain into a constructed 6ft wide drainage ditch that leads 25 feet to a field
irrigation and drainage ditch, then 75 feet to wetlands and then 1200 to the Perquimans River.
Overflow into the outfall ditch will be stabilized by riprap installed in the ditch at the overflow (see

To Whom It May Concern:
This NCG020000 Notice of Intent General Permit application is in relation to a request
by Timothy J. Corprew, owner of River Farms, I1.C, to excavate a 35.6-acre pond, on property
owned by Mr. Corprew at the intersection of US 17 Ocean Hwy South and Harvey Point
Road, Hertford, NC:, in Perquimans County. The proposed permit area is located in a high,
sandy, cultivated turf grass field, and will not present any problems regarding runoff to
adjacent areas when all proposed erosion and sediment control measures are in place. The
purpose of the excavation will be to serve as wildlife habitat and to increase scenic value for
the landowner.
The excavation area will be located geographically 600 feet from the nearest public
highway and will be accessible only by a privately -owned access road. Excavation activities
will be screened from public view on all sides by existing full growth woodland, vegetated sand
berms, and distance across adjacent fields. public access to the permit arca is limited by private
property, and private road access. There will be trtininwm 50ft Wide unexcavated buffers on
all sides of the permit area, and an 50ft wide undisturbed buffers adjacent to nearby wetlands.
Upon receipt of the approved permits from NCD17Q, River Farms, IJ,C1 plans to excavate
the pond with dewatering to an average depth of 25 feet below normal groundwater level, and
will include construction of proper cut slopes on all sides of the excavated arca, as required
in the pernhit. Reclamation of the permit area will include grading, leveling, and grassing of
all affected areas. The permit is requested for a 10-year period.
All adjacent landowners have been contacted and made aware of the proposed excavation
operation, and land entry agreements have been obtained: The excavation area will be well
marked with warning and keep out signs to prevent inadvertent public access.
River farms, LLC does hereby request approval for this NCG020000 Permit, and asks
that it be expedited as soon as possible. River Farms, 1,1.0 appreciates your consideration of
this mine permit application.
Sincerely,

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE PLAN
SAND MINE DEWATERING AND WATER LEVEL CONTROL STRUCTURE
Operator: Timothy J. Corprew, River Farms, LLC, 910 Wynne Fork Road, Hertford, NC 27944
Job Location: River Farms Mine, Harvey Point Road, Hertford, NC 27944
County: Perquimans County
Prepared by: Ken Elliott, consulting
Date: June 22,2016
This plan defines responsibilities for operating, inspecting, and maintaining equipment and structures
used for constructing and dewatering the River farms Mine safely, and that dewatering will not degrade
or negatively impact any wetlands or waters of the state.
Description and Operation of the River Farms Mine:
The River Farms Mine is a proposed 35.6-acre sand mine excavation operated by River Farms, LLC,
Timothy). Corprew, owner, in an 83.66-acre permit area located on Harvey Point Road. The site is
approximately .50 miles south of Hertford, NC, in the Town of Hertford Extraterritorial Jurisdiction area.
The permit area is on high sandy land, recently cleared, and currently under cultivation as a turf grass
farm. At this time Mr. Corprew is submitting an application with the NCDEQ Division of Energy, Mineral
and Land Resources to construct the sand mine and begin operation in July 2016. Mr. Corprew is also
submitting an application for a Special Use Permit from the Town of Hertford Planning Department for
construction of this mine.
Sand Mine Dewatering:
it will be necessary to dewater the excavation as it is being excavated to allow the excavating equipment
to enter the excavated area in order to safely and efficiently remove the sand from the pond bottom.
This will allow for full depth excavation and proper reclamation of the edges of the pond. It is the
intention of Mr. Corprew to only dewater the excavations as needed, which will not entail full-time
dewatering.
For excavation purposes, dewatering will occur roughly every 30 days which will allow excavating
equipment to remove approximately 150 loads of sand up to ground level where it will be stockpiled for
later use. When the stockpile is depleted from usage, the excavation area will again be dewatered, and
another quantity of sand will be excavated.
The operator plans to initially excavate two 1.82-acre ponds on the north and south sides of the
excavation area, both being located inside the main excavation area. Initially used as water sources for
the turf farm, the ponds will be later used as sedimentation ponds during the main pond excavation.
The ponds will be constructed with 3:1 slopes above normal groundwater height with full groundcover
installed, and 2:1 slopes below normal groundwater level. Once the small ponds are completed the rest
of the 35.6-acre main excavation will begin between the sediment ponds and the east end of the
excavation area. The edge of the sediment pond excavations and main excavation will be a minimum of

100 feet from the nearest wetlands. Use of the sediment ponds will forcibly hydrate the nearby
wetlands located north and south of the sediment ponds and excavation, and will minimize dehydration
of the swampy land.
The operator will install an 8-inch dewatering pump between the main excavation and the closest
sediment pond. Discharge from the dewatering pump will enter the sediment pond on its east end, and
there will be a constructed water height control device (see attached diagram) discharge point located
on the west end of the sediment pond. The discharge point will release clear water to a 25-foot-long
riprap-protected ditch, which then leads 75 feet to wetlands, then 1200 feet through wetlands to the
Perquimans River.
Water will be pumped from the main pond to the sediment pond by the 8in gasoline -powered transfer
pump operating at idle speed. Operator will utilize one or both sediment ponds and pumps as needed.
Estimated maximum flow from each pump will be 8300 gallons/hour, 0.20 mgd (4150 gallons / hour /
pump). It is the intention of Mr. Corprew to drop the water level in the main pond approximately 20 -
25 feet below normal ground level when needed.
The overflow from the sediment pond will be controlled by a water height control device constructed in
the west bank of the sediment pond in use. This control structure will allow water to flow through the
baffle into a 25ft long x 15" wide buried PVC pipe leading 25 feet to a 6ft wide drainage ditch running
north or south 75 feet to wetlands and then 1200 feet to the Perquimans River. For erosion control, the
overflow water will exit the water height control discharge pipe onto a 20ft long riprap-lined apron in
the ditch.
Time and distance will allow all sedimentation to occur to acceptable levels in the sediment ponds
before the overflow water reaches outfall and then the waters of the State. Water will have to travel a
minimum of 400 feet in the sediment pond to reach the overflow point, which will give enough surface
area to allow sufficient sedimentation to occur. There will be a minimum 2 feet of freeboard between
the water surface in the sediment pond and the top of the sediment pond bank. Stormwater drainage
will be unable to enter the sediment area due to the height of the sediment pond berm and damaging
sediment pond rates.
Sedimentation and Erosion Control
There is wetland swamp on the north and south side of the proposed excavation, located 100 feet from
the excavation edge, running parallel to the affected area boundary. The operator will establish a 50ft
undisturbed buffer (no disturbance of any kind) between the southwest boundary of the affected area
and the adjacent wetland area. This buffer will be maintained by the operator as pasture with grass and
pine tree ground cover.
In addition, there will be a 50ft unexcavated buffer (may contain roadways, stockpiles, and sediment &
erosion control devices) around the entire excavation area, between the excavation and the
undisturbed buffer.

Sediment pond overflow will drain into a constructed 6ft wide drainage ditch that leads 25 feet to a field
irrigation and drainage ditch, then 75 feet to wetlands and then 1200 to the Perquimans River.
Overflow into the outfall ditch will be stabilized by riprap installed in the ditch at the overflow (see
diagram) to prevent erosion of the ditch.
All erosion and sedimentation will remain inside of the permit area. The operator will construct and
maintain an 8ft wide x 2ft tall grass -covered sand berm around the perimeter of the current affected
area of the excavation during all phases of operation. During mining operations and dewatering, the
majority of the water leaving the excavation will remain inside of the permit area and will only overflow
through the sediment pond occasionally. The sediment pond will be approximately 10 feet deep, and
there is a sand layer below the bottom of the area. The porosity of the soil under the sediment pond
will allow most of the water pumped into the pond from dewatering to seep back into the ground
naturally. Any excess water overflowing from the sediment pond will flow downstream 1200 feet to
wetlands leading to Perquimans River.
Maintaining the Sediment Pond Overflow Control Structure, Settlement Pond and Ditches
Inspections and maintenance are required to obtain the intended function of safely dewatering the sand
mine, and to maintain the life of any adjacent wetlands or waters of the State. Items to inspect and
maintain during the anticipated 10-year life of the mine dewatering permit are:
• Inspect the water control structures regularly, especially following heavy rains and runoff, or
during periods of operation of the structure.
• Remove accumulated debris from the overflow control structure.
• Inspect the structure for excessive settlement or seepage.
• Inspect all components of the structure, including appurtenances, and repair or replace any
damaged items as needed.
• Inspect embankments, berms and appurtenant structures, and repair as needed.
• Repair any damage to vegetated areas or berms with compacted earth fill, reshaping, sodding,
reseeding and mulching as needed.
• Inspect riprap outlet stabilization structures in ditches regularly, replace dislodged rock as
necessary.
• Promptly repair all leaks in delivery facilities by replacing valves, fittings, gaskets, and worn or
damaged parts.
• Maintain all screens, filters, valves, timers and other electrical and mechanical equipment in
good operating condition, following manufacturer's recommendations
Monitoring the Process and Effects of Dewatering
Analytical and qualitative monitoring of mine dewatering wastewater will be in accordance with the
NCG020000 permit, as follows:

• All ponds in the River Farms Mine permit area will be inspected daily by the operator to identify
any abnormal conditions.
• All berms and erosion control and sedimentation control structures will be inspected for
damages monthly and within 24 hours after every storm event greater than 1.5 inches, and all
structures will be repaired immediately.
• Special inspections will be conducted immediately following severe storms, vandalism, and
other significant events.
• Dewatering process will be inspected daily during periods of dewatering the excavation.
• Overflow of wastewater process will be inspected daily during periods of dewatering the
excavation.
• Outflow of dewatering wastewater will be monitored quarterly at the overflow exit stabilization
structure for pH, settleable solids, turbidity, and total flow. Samples will be collected and tested
onsite for pH, and the remainder will be tested for the remaining parameters by a North
Carolina certified lab.
• Rain gauge data will be collected by monitoring rain gauge data monthly and after each rain
event.
Records
Data will be collected as follows:
• Data will be collected from samples taken from the wastewater point source discharge in
operation at the time.
• Point source discharge data: data from the site taken quarterly, date & time, general weather
conditions, pH of sample, status of process at point source, inlet or outlet, other DWQ required
data.
• Visual monitoring of adjacent wetlands and farmland for potential dehydration during mining or
dewatering activities will take place weekly. Solutions to any degradation caused by any mining
activity will include alteration of dewatering process. DWQ will be consulted as needed;
alterations to process will be recorded.
• Elliott Consulting will maintain the following records in a permanent file at the Elliott Consulting
office at PO Box 112, 202 Elliott Road, Aydlett, NC 27916: a record of all significant actions
taken; as -built drawings; permits; analytical results from sampling; and related material. Copies
of all inspections, monitoring reports and lab analyses shall be provided to NCDWQ on a regular
basis and as requested.
BMP Conditions
• The permitteewill utilize best management practices to ensure that dewatering the River Farms
Mine will not degrade or negatively impact any wetlands or waters of the State. BMP's will
include:

o Sediment pond outlet structure with flashboard riser located at edge of pond for ease of
maintenance.
All berms and erosion control and sedimentation control structures will be inspected for
damages monthly and within 24 hours after every storm event greater than 1.5 inches,
and all structures will be repaired immediately.
o Sediment pond outlet ditch will have rock lining or riprap stone layer to prevent erosion,
scour or sloughing of embankment
The permittee shall obtain authorization from the Director of the NCDEMLR and the Stormwater
Program chief prior to utilizing any chemical flocculants at Robert White Sand Mine.
