DATE: August 16, 2000
The subject projects are located in waters which are open to shellfish harvesting. Thomas Farm
Pond and the Thomas Simpson Mine are both located on North River, a relatively small estuary
and prime shellfishing area. Fused on the information provided, this office has strong concerns
regarding the bacteriological constituents of the dewatering discharges. Fecal coliform
contamination, as it relates to stormwater runoff, is the primary cause of shellfish closures. This
parameter is currently not being monitored in the general permit requirements for the above
mentioned facilities. The Shellfish Sanitation Section requests that the permits for these facilities
include monitorin for bacterialo ical contaminants specifically fecal coliform because the
discharge associated with these mines could jeopardize the open status of adjacent shellfishing
waters.

Through: Rick Shiver
Subject: General Permit Application NCG020527
Thomas Simpson Mine
Carteret County
The applicant is currently dewatering a small excavation which is operating
without a mining permit because it is less than one acre in area. The site is an
agricultural field which is surrounded by wooded wetlands. The ditch that completely
surrounds the site appears to be tidally influenced and contains salt marsh vegetation.
The site is probably a wetland or converted wetland. Staff members have requested
a determination of jurisdiction by the Division of Coastal Management. There is a
concern that pit dewatering associated with mining activities on the site could result
in the draining of the adjacent wooded wetlands. It is understood that if it is
determined that the site is a wetland with DCM jurisdiction, staff members may
recommend against the issuance of a mining permit.
it is recommended that General Permit coverage not be given until it is
determined if a mining permit can be issued.
