To Whom It May Concern:
This NCG020000 Notice of Intent General Permit application is in relation to a request
by Will Chamblee, owner of Tri Co. Grading, Inc., to excavate a 19.03-acre pond, on property
owned by Mr. Chamblee located on Moore '[own Road, 4 nines cast of Ahoskie, NC, in
Hertford County. The proposed pernnit area is located on a high, sandy area, recently logged,
and includes an existing 2.0 acte pond dug in 1979, which will serve as a dcwatcring
sedimentation pond. This project 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 1900 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. Public access
to the permit area is hrywed by private property, and gated, private road access. "There will be
minimum 25ft wide unexcavated buffers on all sides of the permit area, and an 50ft wide
undisturbed buffers adjacent to a nearby blue -line stream.
Upon receipt of the approved permits from NCDI_.Q, Tri Co. Grading, Inc. plans to
excavate the pond 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 area, as required in the
permit. 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.
Tri Co. Grading, Inc. does hereby request approval for this Mining Permit, and asks that
it be expedited as soon as possible. 'Tri Co. Grading, Inc. appreciates your consideration of
this mine permit application.
Sincerely,

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE PLAN
SAND MINE DEWATERING AND WATER LEVEL CONTROL STRUCTURE
Operator: Will Chamblee, Tri Co. Grading, Inc., 125 Newsome Grove Road, Ahoskie, NC 27910
Job Location: Moore Town Pit, Moore Town Road, Ahoskie, NC 27910
County: Hertford County
Prepared by: Ken Elliott, consulting
Date: November 2, 2016
This plan defines responsibilities for operating, inspecting, and maintaining equipment and structures used for
constructing and dewatering the Moore Town Pit 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 Moore Town Pit is a proposed 19.03-acre sand mine excavation operated by Tri Co. Grading, Inc., Will
Chamblee, Vice -President and owner, in a 33.36-acre permit area located on Moore Town Road (SR 1427). The
site is approximately 4.0 miles southeast of Ahoskie, NC. The permit area is on high sandy land, recently logged
At this time Mr. Chamblee is submitting an application with the NCDEQ Division of Energy, Mineral and Land
Resources to construct the sand mine and begin operation in November or December 2016.
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 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. Chamblee 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 utilize an existing 2-acre pond located on the east side of the proposed excavation area as
a sedimentation pond during dewatering operations in the main excavation, located adjacent. The pond is 800
feet long and average 112 feet wide, permitted and constructed in 1979 by Jones Bros. Peanut (mining permit
#46-03), and released by the State in 1992. The pond now has full groundcover on all slopes, current freeboard
is 12-1S feet on the west side and 4-6 feet on the east side. Operator plans to affect only the west and south
slopes of the pond, the east slope remaining undisturbed.
The operator will install an 8-inch dewatering pump between the main excavation and the sediment pond.
Discharge from the dewatering pump will be directed to enter the sediment pond on its south end, and there
will be a riprap rock dam (see attached diagram) discharge point located on the north end of the sediment pond.
The discharge point will release clear water to a 25-foot-long riprap-stabilized ditch, which then leads 65 feet to

a blue -line stream flowing north and east 1 mile to Ahoskie Creek, then 24 miles through Ahoskie Creek and
Wiccacon River to the Chowan River.
Water will be pumped from the main pond to the sediment pond by the 8in gasoline -powered transfer pump
operating at idle speed. Estimated maximum flow from the pump will be 4150 gallons per hour. It is the
intention of Mr. Chamblee to drop the water level in the main excavation approximately 20 - 25 feet below
normal groundwater level when needed.
The overflow from the sediment pond and water height in the pond will be controlled by a riprap rock dam
structure constructed in the north bank of the sediment pond. This control structure will allow water to flow
through the rock dam into a 25ft long riprap stabilized ditch to a 6ft wide drainage ditch running east 65 feet to
a blue -line stream, and then 1 mile to the Ahoskie Creek. For erosion control, the overflow water will exit the
rock dam 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 must travel a minimum of 675 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 into the sediment pond will be
minimal, most stormwater drainage entering the main excavation area due to natural elevation of the area.
Sedimentation and Erosion Control
There is blue -line stream on the east and north 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 north and east boundaries of the affected area and the
adjacent blue -line stream. This buffer will be maintained by the operator as pasture with existing grass and pine
tree ground cover.
In addition, there will be a 25ft 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 65 feet to a blue -line stream and then on to the Chowan 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 a
sediment/silt fence around the down -slope perimeter of the current affected area of the excavation during all
phases of operation. During mining operations and dewatering, most 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 90 feet to streams and rivers leading to Chowan 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 Moore Town Pit 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 nearby 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. DEMLR 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 Moore Town Pit will
not degrade'or negatively impact any wetlands or waters of the State. BMP's will include:
o Sediment pond outlet structure riprap rock dam 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 the Moore Town Pit.

Comment: The timber has been cut from the site much larger than the permitted boundary. The owner had
the corners marked The existing roadway between the proposed excavation and the stilling
pond has a man made ditch to drain the area that will need to be plugged to prevent more than
the one discharge that is presented (Otherwise the additional discharge will need to be
monitored and maintained) The exisiting pond to be used for stilling appeared adequate The
Outlet bank will need to be stablized as on the plan Care is to be taken while constructing and
maintaing the outlet to minimize impacts to the blue line and the area Also the haul road to the
propsed passes through a wet area that is presently crossed on wooden mats DWR approval
is required for the crossing and the proposed.

Subject: Re: 46-15 DWR REVIEW SHEET 2013
Robert,
Please find attached the mine review sheet for the Moore Town Pit. This is a new application, and basically
the proposal is to use the reclaimed pit/pond on a property where there previously had been a mining
permit(Jones Bros Sand Pit, 46-03) as a detention/sediment basin for mining adjacent to the pond.
The concerns I would have are:
1) There is a blue -line feature that runs through part of the proposed permit boundary. There are likely/may
be associated riparian wetlands along this feature that need to be delineated so that the question can be
addressed of how dewatering of the mine might affect these possible wetlands. An O & M plan would be
required and need to be reviewed.
2) The proposed haul road crossing of a blue -line feature does not have enough detail to show if it's adequate
for the traffic that would likely be using it. This haul road is existing, and was probably used as a haul road for
recent logging activities.
If there's anything else you need, please let me know.
- Chris

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE PLAN
SAND MINE DEWATERING AND WATER LEVEL CONTROL STRUCTURE
Operator: Will Chamblee, Tri Co. Grading, Inc., 125 Newsome Grove Road, Ahoskie, NC 27910
Job Location: Moore Town Pit, Moore Town Road, Ahoskie, NC 27910
County: Hertford County
Prepared by: Ken Elliott, consulting
Date: November 2, 2016
This plan defines responsibilities for operating, inspecting, and maintaining equipment and structures used for
constructing and dewatering the Moore Town Pit 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 Moore Town Pit is a proposed 19.03-acre sand mine excavation operated by Tri Co. Grading, Inc., Will
Chamblee, Vice -President and owner, in a 33.36-acre permit area located on Moore Town Road (SR 1427). The
site is approximately 4.0 miles southeast of Ahoskie, NC. The permit area is on high sandy land, recently logged.
At this time Mr. Chamblee is submitting an application with the NCDEQ Division of Energy, Mineral and Land
Resources to construct the sand mine and begin operation in November or December 2016.
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 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. Chamblee 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 utilize an existing 2-acre pond located on the east side of the proposed excavation area as
a sedimentation pond during dewatering operations in the main excavation, located adjacent. The pond is 800
feet long and average 112 feet wide, permitted and constructed in 1979 by Jones Bros. Peanut (mining permit
446-03), and released by the State in 1992. The pond now has full groundcover on all slopes, current freeboard
is 12-15 feet on the west side and 4-6 feet on the east side. Operator plans to affect only the west and south
slopes of the pond, the east slope remaining undisturbed.
The operator will install an 8-inch dewatering pump between the main excavation and the sediment pond.
Discharge from the dewatering pump will be directed to enter the sediment pond on its south end, and there
will be a riprap rock dam (see attached diagram) discharge point located on the north end of the sediment pond.
The discharge point will release clear water to a 25-foot-long riprap-stabilized ditch, which then leads 65 feet to

a blue -line stream flowing north and east 1 mile to Ahoskie Creek, then 24 miles through Ahoskie Creek and
Wiccacon River to the Chowan River,
Water will be pumped from the main pond to the sediment pond by the Sin gasoline -powered transfer pump
operating at idle speed. Estimated maximum flow from the pump will be 4150 gallons per hour. It is the
intention of Mr. Chamblee to drop the water level in the main excavation approximately 20 - 25 feet below
normal groundwater level when needed.
The overflow from the sediment pond and water height in the pond will be controlled by a riprap rock dam
structure constructed in the north bank of the sediment pond. This control structure will allow water to flow
through the rock dam into a 25ft long riprap stabilized ditch to a 6ft wide drainage ditch running east 65 feet to
a blue -line stream, and then 1 mile to the Ahoskie Creek. For erosion control, the overflow water will exit the
rock dam 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 must travel a minimum of 675 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 into the sediment pond will be
minimal, most stormwater drainage entering the main excavation area due to natural elevation of the area.
Sedimentation and Erosion Control
There is blue -line stream on the east and north side of the proposed excavation, located 100+ feet from the
excavation edge, running parallel to the affected area boundary. The operator will establish a SOft undisturbed
buffer (no disturbance of any kind) between the north and east boundaries of the affected area and the
adjacent blue -line stream. This buffer will be maintained by the operator as pasture with existing grass and pine
tree ground cover.
In addition, there will be a 25ft 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 Eft wide drainage ditch that leads 25 feet to a field
irrigation and drainage ditch, then 65 feet to a blue -line stream and then on to the Chowan 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 a
sediment/silt fence around the down -slope perimeter of the current affected area of the excavation during all
phases of operation. During mining operations and dewatering, most 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 1.0 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 90 feet to streams and rivers leading to Chowan 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 Moore Town Pit 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 nearby 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. DEMLR 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 Moore Town Pit will
not degrade or negatively impact any wetlands or waters of the State. BMP's will include:
o Sediment pond outlet structure riprap rock dam located at edge of pond for ease of
maintenance.
c 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 the Moore Town Pit.
