Raleigh, NC 27699-1617
Dear Mr. Bennett,
I am enclosing the third quarter 2013 water discharge report. I have included the
analytical data from the Environmental Chemists for this quarter which shows we
are well within limits of the published NC State guidelines for discharged water.
My superintendent, "Thomas Koonce, and I continue to check for sink holes daily,
but have not found any along Highway 53 or nearby NC State game lands that
adjoin our mining property.
Please call me should you have any questions pertaining to this submitted report.
Respectfully submitted,
B is

Dear Mr. Bennett,
During the month of October, 2011, we made a sinking cut on the east side of our office, and
naturally increased the quality of water to be pumped. As you can see from the attached
pump reports, we have now averaged 800,000 gallons of water pumped to our tear drop lake
almost daily. As you know, the level spreader that discharges our water to the 119 acre
wetland will only discharge 1,000,000 gallons daily, through a gravity system.
I have attached, herewith, copies of our analytical tests run by Environmental Chemists, Inc.
and as you can see the results remain consistent with previous sampling and are in
compliance with State and Federal laws.
Our local testing results for pH, water temperature, and rainfall are also included for your
perusal.
I found a sinkhole in our berm that parallels Highway 53 on December 271h, 2011 during my
daily inspection. I have included a copy of a picture of the sinkhole as it was found, and as it
was repaired. Because of some other sinkholes that I found during the flood, I already had
the NC DOT protocol for filing a sinkhole. Consequently, I backfilled this sinkhole with the
same distribution of rock, clay and top soil. The area has been grassed, and as you can see,
grass is already growing in the sinkhole area!
Respectfully submitted,
Stephen Dorenda

Dear r. Bennett,
.�"•""", a Bpenc
I have enclosed herewith our second quarter water discharge report, Since opening
up the east pit at the quarry, the discharge water has stabilized and increased our
total discharge through the level spreader. May I invite your attention, once again,
that our level spreader will not discharge more than 1,000,000 gallons of water per
any 24 hour period. This is half the quantity that our permit allows per any 24
hour period.
The analytical data compiled by Environmental Chemists is enclosed with this
report, and is in limits for the published guidelines for discharged water from the
State.
During the month of May, and more particularly on May 91h and May 30t4i, I found
sink holes near Highway 53 East on my daily inspections. I notified all the
necessary personnel listed in my mining permit, and I immediately repaired the
relatively small sink holes per the NC State protocol from the DOT. I also placed
both of the sink holes on my sink hole map that is updated yearly. The sink holes
have grass and weeds growing over them and do not present a problem at this time.
Please call me, should you have any questions pertaining to this report.
Respectfully submitted,
Stephen Dorenda

Dear Mr. Bennett,
As you know from our latest quarterly report, the quantity of water being pumped
from our main sump has decreased. Because of the severe drought we are encountering, I
don't see the quantity increasing even though our mining acreage has increased during
the past six months.
I have checked daily along our property bounddes on Highway 53 for sink holes,
and can report that I have not found any on either side of Highway 53.
As of I June 2011, we have installed a pump hour meter on our discharge water
pump and will be able to be provide a more accurate discharge quantity. We have also
begun recording rain quantities from our new rain gauge. I have submitted the daily rain
quantities herewith.
Our quarterly report from Environmental Chemists Inc. is attached, and the results
of our tests remain consistent with previous sampling and are in compliance with State
and Federal laws.
Respectfully Submitted,
Stephen Dorenda

Shelter Creek Quarry
Request to Remove Monitoring Wells
Pender County
We received your letter of January 27, 2011 on Shelter Creek Quarry's behalf on January 31, 2011. Your letter
explained actions taken in response to heavy rains and flooding between September 27-29, 2010_ You also requested
(1) DWQ's approval to remove four groundwater monitoring wells from state-owned game lands, and (2) permission
to not replace all other monitors that were either destroyed by the recent flood or other incidents. We have
contacted the Wilmington Regional Office (WiRO) about your requests.
DWQ cannot allow removal of existing monitoring wells or grant approval for not replacing lost monitors at this
time. Until a revised Pumping Operation and Monitoring (O&M) Plan for Shelter Creek Quarry is submitted to DWQ's
regional office for review and approval, we do not have adequate information to support this request. Your letter also
mentioned that the quarry is "just a few weeks away" from getting a U.S. Corp of Engineers' wetland permit but did
not provide details about planned impacts. in fight of these changes, it is critical to revise the quarry's Pumping O&M
Plan.
The Central Office will consult with the regional office staff prior to approval of any future requests. If you have
any questions about this letter, please contact Bethany Georgoulias at telephone number [phone] or via e-mail
at betha [e-mail]. You may also contact Linda Willis in Wilmington at telephone number (910) 796-
7343.

Subject: RE: Shelter Creek Mine O&M
Bethany,
Rick and Jo had been working with them. Rick had me contact Judy Wehner to approve their mining plan modification
think we agreed to some new well locations and at greater depths. Not sure when they owe us the final plan or when
we expect the new wells to be in place and monitoring to begin, but.. if Rick is happy, we're happy. You can file your
copy, we have the same and I'll leave it up to Joanne Steenhuis to review the plan (when we get it), to ensure it was
what she and Rick expected.

Hi Linda,
While I'm thinking about it, I've had a copy of the 0&M Plan for Shelter Creek in my office for a while. Dana Lutheran
sent it to Ian McMillan, who passed it on to me (since it was really related to our permit and not the 401). Did you. guys
find that to be satisfactory? Should I hold onto it or put it in the file up here? lust wondering what the outcome of it
was, or if you needed anything from us. I think it was just a courtesy copy.
Thanks,

Shelter Creek Quarrq O&M Pian
1. Project History
SE.G1
Shelter Creek Quarry (SCQ) was started by Mr. Steve Holland (Shelter Creek Quarry, LLC), with the
vision of mining limestone, sand and marl out an approximately 398.0 acre parcel of land adjacent to
Shelter Creek, in Pender County, North Carolina. Initially, Mining Permit No. 41-45 was issued to Shelter
Creek Quarry that approved land disturbing activity within 65.27 acres. This permit is valid until 26
February 2017. In conjunction with the mining permit, SCQ applied for and secured the following

Fable 2 Pnvironmental permits status as ol" the (late of this report
Due to the increase in mining land disturbance and pursuant to North Carolina General Statute 143-215. l
and Memorandum of Agreement between North Carolina and the US Environmental Protection Agency,
dated 9 May 1994 (or as subsequently amended), SCQ is required to update the NPDES GCO20000
permit, as well as the Operation and Monitoring (0&M) Plan (see Appendix B) to cover the newly
proposed mining area and any other land disturbing activities and/or changes to the mining operations.

IL Existing Site Conditions
Sr.Gi
At this time, SCQ has mined approximately 15.95 acres and to a depth of A5 feet mean sea level (MSL).
Existing on the mine site are office quarters and scales, old pole barn, fuel storage areas, crusher, along
with large stockpiles of excavated material (limestone, sand, and marl), two closed circuit ponds
(horseshoe pond and level spreader lake), a linear, closed circuit ditch, two 10' high earthen berms, a basin
pump station and water level spreader (see Appendix A — Shelter Creek Quarry 10 Year Minable Area
Map for details). SCQ installed and maintained 21 shallow, groundwater monitoring wells (located within
and on adjacent lands, until heavy rains destroyed many of them. These wells are no longer in place. SCQ
submitted a hydrological monitoring plan to the DWQ Wilmington Regional Office and is working with
DWQ staff to finalize the replacement monitoring well locations.
Ill. Proposed Construction Projects
A. Relocate Existing Berms
The existing 10' berms that run along the northern property boundary were placed in such a way
as to avoid impacts to USAGE jurisdictional and DWQ isolated wetlands (an undulated line).
Upon securing the appropriate wetland impact authorizations, SCQ began to straighten the line of
these berms (see Appendix A). Silt fence is in place along the northern toe of the berms, and will
remain until the slopes of the berms are stable, to ensure that no sediment leaves the site during or
after the construction process. In addition, the berms have been hydra -seeded and planted with
long leaf pine.
B. New Closed Circuit Pond
The surface area of the pond is expected to be approximately 15,000 square feet and will be
situated northwest of the horseshoe pond (see Appendix A). The water held in this pond will be
used for washing stone. Runoff from the washing area (Diester) will drain back into the pond,
where fines will settle out and water can be used over and over again, for the same purpose (see
Appendix C — Closed Circuit Pond Diagram). If more water (make-up water) is needed in the
pond, a gate valve that controls the flow of water in the main sump line can direct water into the
closed circuit pond.
C. New Maintenance Building
In the original O&M plan a maintenance building was proposed. However, this structure was
never built. With this modification, SCQ is proposing to construct a 5,000 square foot building
that will be located near the existing old barn (see Appendix A).
D. Extend Existing Closed Circuit Ditch
Upon securing the appropriate wetland impact authorizations. SCQ began to extend the existing,
closed circuited ditch that runs along the western property boundary. This was not completed
during the initial excavation of the feature, as wetland impacts had not been approved. Therefore,
excavation of some sections of the ditch were omitted to avoid unauthorized wetland impacts.
Weir structures will be incorporated to control water levels within the feature.

56cltcr Crcck Quarry O&M Plan SE -GI
I?. New Lab and Associated Maintenance Covered Shed
The structure is proposed to be 2,400 square foot. Of this square footage, 300 square feet will be
dedicated to the new lab. This building will be situated just east of the horseshoe pond (see
Appendix A).
IV. Drainage Facilities
There are no changes to the drainage facilities. Aside from the isolated wetland ponds, which were
never installed, the measures and systems, as described in the original O&M Plan (see Appendix B
— Original O&M Narrative), submitted by Mr. Stephen Dorenda, are in place and operating as
intended.
It is the intention of the SCQ to continue mining without allowing the existing pit to fill up, before
starting another. It is not anticipated that the contiguous mining will have an effect on water levels
within the western property boundary ditch, as the feature can be kept hydrated by pumping water
into it at any time and blue gum clay and marl, underlying the ditch, act as a confining layer that
prohibits the ditch from draining.
V. Discharge Monitoring Plan
The increase in the proposed minable area limits will have an insignificant effect on the pumping
frequency for the SCQ. At this time the, SCQ is pumping, on average, approximately 750,000
gallons of water daily. This level may increase slightly, with the expansion of the minable area,
but will not exceed the previously approved 2,000,000 gallons of water per day. The Permittee has
been testing the chemistry of the water within the horseshoe lake and at the level spreader, as
required by the terms and conditions of NCG020000. To date, no abnormal readings have been
recorded, thus remediation has not been necessary.
A field visit, performed by SEGi, confirmed that water being discharged from the level spreader
into the adjacent hardwood bottomland forest is infiltrating into the soil before reaching Holly
Shelter Creek (see Appendix D — Site Photos of the 119 Acre Wetland). It does not appear that the
discharge of treated stormwater into the 119 acre wetland feature has had an effect on the wetland
community or on the integrity of Holly Shelter Creek.
VI. Fuel Storage
The fuel storage facility was installed per the original mining permit and is operating as intended.
To date, records indicate there have been no "significant spills".
VI1. Reporting Requirements
In accordance with the terms and conditions of Part III, Sections B and C of the NCG020000,
discharge monitoring will be conducted and results furnished to the NC DENR Division of Water

VIII. Water Cannon Usage
These mechanisms were determined to not be required and thus were never installed.
IX. Ilydrologic Monitoring Plan
SEGi is working with DWQ staff to update the hydrological monitoring plan for the project. On
14 March 2011, SEGi submitted the Hydrological Monitoring Plan, part of the O&M Plan, to Mr.
Rick Shiver, DWQ Regional Supervisor, for his review and comment. On 30 April 2011, SEGi
and the Permittee met with Mr. Shiver and other DENR representatives to discuss concerns the
DWQ had with the Hydrological Monitoring Plan. At this meeting it was suggested that a few of
the monitoring wells be relocated and that the number of wells could be reduced. On 8 April 2011,
SEGi submitted the revised monitoring well location map and supplemental data to Mr. Shiver.
SEGi received a request for additional information (RFAI) from the DWQ, with regard to the new
proposed well location and supplemental infonnation on 15 April 2011, to which SEGi submitted
their response to the RFAI on 2 May 2011, for their review and comments.
X. Conclusion
In conclusion, based upon the infonnation found within and attached to this report, SEGi and the
Permittee feel the project has continued to be in compliance with all the conditions of the
previously approved Operation and Monitoring plan and hope that the modifications to the plan,
once reviewed, will be approved.

1_0 Background
Once the State Mining Permit and the NPDES Permit have been issued to Shelter Creek
Quarry, LLC, several projects will have to be completed before any mining activity commences.
All of these projects are shown on the Phase 1A-72.5 acre map entitled NPDES MAP and an
additional map titled NPDES Supplemental Wetland Man {l.a). First and foremost is the
construction of the Speed -Up and Slow -Down lanes at the entrance to the mine site.
2`0 Project List Prior to Mining
3.0 Sneed -Up and Slow -Down Lane Construction
All of the necessary plans have been submitted to and approved by the NC State DOT for
construction. Bids have been received and are ready to be awarded. Once the construction
begins, additional material will be added to the main entrance road from the speed-up and slow-
down area to the entire length of the main entrance road and finally terminating at the level
spreader lake. The road will be raised from 19.7 MSL to approximately 23.0 MSL. This
elevation will prevail the entire length of the main road and will be widened and asphalted to the
office and scale area shown on the enclosed map. The road will be ditched on either side and all
storm water from the east side of the road will be sent by pipe to the west side of the road, and
will ultimately be sent to the main sump area in the quarry as depicted on the enclosed map.
This same road will circle the level spreader lake and will continue west towards the
maintenance building at the same 23.0 MSL height. This height will be maintained for the entire
35.0 + acre mine site to prevent storm water from ever entering or leaving the actual mining area.
The berm depicted on the enclosed map will also continue down the property line to intercept the
same 23.0 MSL elevation at the maintenance building. This elevation was chosen because in the
recent 500 year flood, water never rose above the maintenance building elevation!
4.0 Horseshoe Lake Remodeling
The horseshoe lake will be deepened to an average depth of 20' a:nd the walls will be
sloped at a 3-1 grade and grassed. It will be clear of all trees and brush and will have a road
circling it at a 23.0 MSL elevation. A floating pump station will be built and located in the
southwest corner of the horseshoe. This pump will transfer main pit sump water to the level
spreader take. This lake can store 300,000 gallons of water and will be capable of withstanding
mood waters that occurred during the recent 500 year flood. The lake will cover approximately
1.2 acres and the water elevation will be held at a nominal 14' elevation.
5_0 Construction_ of the Level Spreader Lake
The level spreader lake will be built simultaneously with the two previously mentioned
Page 2

projects. The level spreader lake will be quite unique for several reasons. It will cover
approximately 4.0 acres with 2.5 acres of water in it. It will hold approximately 12,000,000
gallons of water and can withstand a 100 year, 24 hour storm (10" rain in 24 hours) very easily.
It is unique because it will have a 200' long discharge manifold that can be adjusted for rate of
flow by closing or opening three separate gate valves. These gate valves control the amount of
water to be discharged by the manifold. Another unique feature is that it will be built directly on
top of the crustaceous limestone, which will allow some of the contained water to close -circuit to
the main pump station from which it came. Lastly, the actual discharge will occur on the mining
property prior to it's migration to the wetland. All of the design data and other necessary
information have been included with this plan. (Enclosure 1) This design meets or exceeds the
guidelines established by Dr. Van Der Wiele of N.C. Division of Water Quality
6_0 Stripping of Overburden
As soon as both of the lakes are completed, a stripping program to remove the overburden
will commence. The initial stripping will occur to the west of the main entrance road, into the
quarry and will be approximately 400' x 750' and will remove 200,000 cubic yards of
overburden. The map shows how storm water will be trapped and sent to the main sump area by
both ditching and grading as depicted on the map.
6.1.a Overburden Uses:
6.1.a.1 It will be used to build all of the berms shown on the enclosed map as well as
protection berms for haul roads as demanded by MSHA Rules.
6.1.a.2 It will be used to widen roads and heighten the main road into the quarry as well
as to build new roads around the horseshoe lake, level spreader lake and a bean
from the level spreader lake to the maintenance building.
6.1.a.3 Excess overburden will be stored on the east side of the main entrance road shown
on the enclosed map. Although this material will ultimately be placed in the
bottom of the mined -out pit area, it will be temporarily stored and encapsulated by
a berm and silt fencing as shown on the map.
6.1.a.4 As the overburden is being removed, collected storm water will be sent from a
submersible pump and plastic pipe to the horseshoe lake. This pump will be
located in the designated sinking cut area to be drilled and blasted where the
permanent pump station will be located. All overburden in this area must be
removed before drilling and blasting commences. As soon as the fixed sump area
is established by removal of the rock that was blasted, an immediate drilling and
blasting program will develop the two benches shown in the map legend. At this
time, a small portable crusher will be used to crush rock for all of the roads to be
heightened and widened. This crusher will only make one size of finished product
Page 3

(base material) and does not use water for cleaning of the rock.
7.0 Rock Crushing Plant Construction
The portable rock crushing plant and portable generating plant will begin to be set-up in
the area shown on the map, slightly southwest of the pump station. The plant will have all
equipment at 23.0 MSL or higher to prevent flood damage. It is all portable equipment and can
be moved easily, if so desired. Although permanent electricity will be provided by Four County
Co -Op, a back-up generator will be installed and wired series -in -parallel since Shelter Creek
Quarry will be buying interruptible service. The entire plant will be built by an outside
contractor and delivered pre -built to the mine site.
8_0 Onizoine Construction Projects
8.a.1 Chainlink fence construction on berms will begin as soon as berms are finished.
8.a.2 Berms will be sowed and planted with native grasses.
8.a.3 Wash water pond will be constructed near crushing plant. It will be a totally
close -circuited pond.
8.a.4 Construct office building and scales on the main entrance road.
8.a.5 Begin construction of a 30' x 75' addition the maintenance building on the
southern end of the current building.
8.a.6 Construct a 4,115 foot closed ended ditch down the west side of the quarry
property as depicted on the attached NPDES Supplemental Wetland Mau (La)
This ditch will be kept filled with water provided by two ponds shown on the
same map, and will not be allowed to become dry. This ditch and the parallel
ditches on Highway 53 will provide a hydraulic barrier to N.C. State Gamelands.
8.a.7 Asphalt the main entrance roads and install automatic gates to the fencing along
the main entrance road.
8.a.8 Continue to berm all isolated wetlands as stripping continues. Berms will be
sowed and planted with native grasses and silt fencing as necessary.
8.a.9 Build ponds for water cannon use in areas shown on the map. Outside walls of
ponds will be sowed and planted with native grasses and silt fencing will be used
as necessary Construction data can be found in the legend section of enclosures
(8) and (9).

990 Water Monitoring and Test Wells
Since May, 2005, there has been an ongoing monitoring of six (6) wells that were placed
in the main wetland area of the mine. Three (3) of the wells are shallow (15 feet deep) and the
three (3) other wells are deep (80 feet deep).
Initially, test results were conducted on a monthly basis since there was no mining
activity on the property. With the recommendation to increase monitoring on a weekly basis
from Ms. Linda Willis, I began to collect water heights from these and other wells from August
08, 2006 to the present time. See Enclosure (7), Monitoring Well Data for 13 wells. Well
locations are shown on the two (2) enclosed maps. Enclosure (8) and (9).
The results to date from the monitoring of these thirteen (13) wells have supported the
initial findings of the three (3) pump down wells used in our cone of depletion studies. That is to
say that the data collected to date shows that the hydrology of the adjacent wetlands was not
significantly influenced from dewatering activity elsewhere on the mining site.
It has been my experience in mining coastal limestone that the hydrology of the large
wetlands are more likely influenced from lateral groundwater flow in the upper surficial aquifer
towards the mine wall as the mine advances.
For these aforementioned reasons, a level spreader pond, ditching, and pond construction
to provide water for water cannon use have all been incorporated in this mining plan to prevent
loss of water in the overburden areas of the wetlands.
10.0 Drainaee Facilities
Any storm water that goes to the pit area will be pumped from a central pumping station
as depicted on the NPDES Map. All other ditches that are on the property will still be used as
well. No new open ended ditches are expected to be needed. The ditches and sump area deliver
natural and storm water to the man-made lake for discharge. It will be discharged evenly into the
wetlands from this lake. No sump pump water will be directly pumped off the mining site. The
submitted cross sections show that the sump settling pump basin will be approximately 100 ft. x
300 ft., and it will have the deepest mined area in the quarry at - 58 ft. MSL. The actual water
level will automatically be controlled by mercury switches, and will only pump water down to a
nominal - 45 ft. MSL. This is necessary since non -turbid water is desired for pumping. Also,
this will be the first chance that suspended solids can be removed before any pumping sends
water to the first settling pond. The sump also provides a huge retention area in case of
inclement conditions. All storm water and ditch water is sent to the main sump area by grading
or ditches during extended mining operations. See the flow charge arrows on the NPDES Map.
Enclosure (8).
Page 5

11.0 Pumping Frequency
Initially, quantities of water will be smaller at first due to the size of the open pit. The
quantities of water will naturally become larger as the mine expands which causes the aquifer to
expand. At first, the aquifer will give up more gallons of water per hour since this water
represents storage water found in the aquifer. However, as the aquifer grows, the water will have
to migrate further in order to get to the pump station, and the flow will tend to stabilize to a lesser
flow rate.
Pumping periods will be controlled at the pump station by mercury switches and a
pumping log will be maintained on a daily basis. Although the float -mounted pump can deliver
1400 gallons per minute, it is estimated that the pump station will not operate but a short period
every hour during operating hours. After operating hours, the pump will remain idle. Although
the pump can send up to 2 million gallons of water per day to the level spreader, it is not going to
pump more than 250,000 - 500,000 gallons per day for the first two to three years. This is simply
because of the size of the aquifer in the retention ponds and the need to refill all of the water and
the 4100' ditch. This mining plan is only for 72.5 acres, and it will be mined in two phases of 36
acres each. When the first 36 acres is totally mined, water and wetlands should no longer be an
issues since the 36 acres will be allowed to fill with water. It will take approximately 6-7 years
to mine the 36 acre tract.
Since quantities of water to be pumped are all hypothetical and are attempted to be
proven with theoretical formulas, I have concluded that our initial pumping will produce 250,000
- 500,000 gallons of water per day once the sinking cut has been made. Naturally, as the mine
area increases in size, so too will the aquifer increase in size. Thus, Mr. Walton's testing shows
at the end of a 6-7 year period, we will have 1,000,000 to 2,000,000 gallons of water to be
pumped daily. This has been concurred by the N.C. State H drolo ist also. See enclosure (10).
The Cone of Depletion has also been agreed upon to be 6200'. (Enclosure 9a) u
A log book listing all wells will be kept in the VP Operation's office with all collected
and reported data from weekly inspections. Site checks for sink holes or any other abnormalities
at the mine site will be done daily and all findings will be recorded with time and date of such
findings.
12.0 Isolated Wetland Buffer
Maps that have been submitted and the map currently submitted show a minimum 50'
buffer away from all wetlands to the edge of the mine. The wetlands are not in the buffer and all
isolated wetlands will be monitored by monitoring wells located in each wetland's boundary.
Provisions have been delineated to keep these areas wet. See #7 of this document.
Also, there will be a 211 slope to the rock in the quarry from the outline footprint of the
isolated wetland. Thus, for a 15 foot of overburden in an isolated wetland, the actual mining
Page 6

distance from the wetland would be 80 feet and not 50 feet.
13.0 Isolated Wetland Ponds
The ponds holding water for the isolated wetlands will have float mounted pumps with
manifolds capable of running (3) water cannons at one time. The water cannons can spray 75
gallons/minute or 4,500 gallons/hour.
Based on the previous example given, an average isolated wetland would need 12,670
gallons of water pumped on non -rainy days. With a water cannon delivering 4,500 gallons per
hour, it would take 2.82 hours to spray 12,670 gallons onto an average wetland.
14.0 Maintenance Area and Fuel Storage
The submitted map shows a maintenance building slightly NW of the horseshoe wetland
adjacent to the level spreader pond. An additional 30' x 75' or 2,250 ft.' building addition will be
added to the southern end of the current building. This area will be with a covered roof and
concrete floor. General preventative maintenance will be conducted in this area by an outside
contractor who will provide grease and oil on his service truck. The floor area will consist of a 2
block high concrete walled area on top of 6" of concrete. The open end will have a 7" silent
policeman made of concrete which will be attached to the concrete floor. This floor area and
blocks, along with the silent policeman provides 42 yds.' of contained concrete storage for spills.
30 x 75 x .5' - 27 = 42 yds3 and 42' x 201.974 = 8,483 gallons of liquid storage. The floor will
have (2) drains located at 25' intervals in the concrete floor and connected to a 4' x 6' sump area
outside of the building by PVC pipe. The actual sump area will be covered with a removable
roof to prevent from inclement weather. Bags of "Oil Dri" will be provided on both sides of the
maintenance area and would be sprinkled over wet areas. The absorbed material would be swept
into a pile and then transferred to a 55 gallon barrel to be sent to an environmentally appropriate
dump site.
NOTE: 500 year flood did not reach the maintenance building floor in September, 1999. As far
as bulk storage of diesel fuel, a 10,000 gallon steel tank will be located along the SE corner of the
maintenance building with a built-in secondary containment tank. All maintenance will be
provided by an outside contractor where the mining equipment is purchased. This maintenance
will be conducted by the vendor's employees with the vendor's maintenance truck.
15.0 Discharge Monitoring
Discharge monitoring and reporting will be performed as specified in Table 1. If the
effluent limitations are greater than specified in Table 2, the monitoring frequency will be
modified to monthly monitoring of the effluents.
Page 7

16.0 Monitoring Reports
Discharge monitoring results in accordance with the terms of this permit, NCG020000,
shall be submitted no later than 30 days from the end of the monitoring period. Duplicate signed
copies of all reports required shall be submitted to the NC DENR Division. of Water Quality,
Water Quality Section, ATTENTION: Central Files, 1617 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, North
Carolina 27699-1617.
Shelter Creek Mining will report orally any noncompliance within 24 hours after Shelter
Creek Mining becomes aware of the noncompliance.

17.0 Water Cannon Use in Isolated Wetlands
As far as keeping the isolated wetlands wet with water cannons, the following formula shows
how much water in necessary to equal the normal precipitation based on the thirty year average
rainfall amounts:
inches of rain x sq. ft. x 7.48 = (x) gallons
Using 116.9" of rain/year (30 year average) for this area, 1 can calculate the number of gallons
per no rain days that would have to have water sprayed by the water cannons to the isolated
wetlands. Average size of isolated wetland = 1.437 acres 1.437 acres = 62,595 &1
Example:
116.9 x 62,595.72 ft.' = 609,786 ft.'
12
609,786 ft? x 7.48 gallons = 4,561,202.4 gallons/year
4,561,202 gallons/year = 380,100 gallons/month
12 months
380,100 gallons/month - 12,670 gallons/day per avg. wetland
30 days/month
12,670 gallons/day x 17 isolated wetlands = 215,390 gallons/day
19 dry days/month x 215,390 gallons/day = 4,092, 410lmonth

Don't bother scanning.. I wouldn't get to look at it any time real soon, but Rick wanted it. If it's too much to copy ..I can
have them send us a courtesy copy. Did you all get an ownership transfer request? They sold this facility. Rick was not
up for supporting transfer until we rec'd that data. I had asked for it last month from S. dorenda. I'll contact him and
have him forward us a copy of the data.

Bethany,
Unless we have notification from the USACOE which wetlands they are approving for impacts for those that are
presently being monitored, we couldn't support that request. So far, I have no information from the USACOE.
Regardless of whether a 404 is given, the State has to approve impacts. I don't think we are at that point yet. Maybe
Joanne (or Rick) can clarify. We'll likely request a new O & M, but until then, they must replace and maintain the MWs
they lost and get back on schedule monitoring those wetlands. We will need more information than what is provided
herein if we are to approve any modifications to the existing plan. We also have requested monitoring well data for the
past year.. have not received yet. Call me if you wish. I have a meeting from 11 to 1, 1 need to visit with you prior to
that meeting to talk about what information we require (specifically) for A to C approval for ready mix concrete facility
settling basins.
Thanks
Linda

Hi Linda,
We just received the attached letter from Stephen Dorenda about Shelter Creek Quarry. I'm not familiar with the
flooding event (but then, I was in the hospital having a baby on those dates!) Buried in there at the end is a request to
not replace monitoring wells. When you have a chance, could you call me to discuss? I know you're pretty familiar with
this site. I just wanted to talk about how we should proceed.
Thanks!

FYI —
Ian, I think I heard you mention Shelter Creek a couple of times in the last few weeks. Just wanted you to be aware of
their request to us, Linda Willis has advised me to deny their permission to remove GW monitoring wells, particularly
since we don't have any revised 0&M Pumping Plan from them yet. We didn't have any info. on the 401 that might be
pending...their letter here just happens to mention a USCOE wetland permit. If you know anything about this project,
maybe you can catch me up a bit on it. I'll copy you on the letter we put together.
Thanks!

Dear Mr. Bennett,
As I have already reported, the quarry was inundated with over a billion gallons
of water from September 27`h through September 29`h of 2010. There was over 4 feet of
water on Highway 53 E and both ditches on either side of the Highway 53E stayed full
until the end of October. During the month of November, I noted a large hole in our berm
that parallels Highway 53E. Further down our property to the west, I also noted another
sink hole near the western boundary of our property near Highway 53E. During my daily
inspection of the mine, and ditches on Highway 53E, I found new sink holes on the north
side ditch of Highway 53E. Since it was a Saturday afternoon, when I noticed the sink
holes, I was concerned that the holes might migrate under Highway 53E. Consequently, I
called the Highway Patrol and Sheriff's Department and the NCDOT. Within a couple of
hours, the DOT placed lighted barricades on the edge of the road near the sink holes. 'Phis
happened on December 13, 2010 and on the following Monday, 1 contacted the Pender
County District Office to report the incident. The following Wednesday 12/15/10, 1 met
with (3) engineers from the NCDOT. Mr. Glenn Crews, Pender Co, Mr. Christopher
Kreider, Raleigh NC, and another engineer from Raleigh, unnamed. We had a lengthy
discussion pertaining to the flooding, and to the recent subsidence in the ditches, and on
our property. I agreed to help provide fill material, when and if Mr. Glenn Crews (district
Engineer) deemed it necessary.
As far as our sink hole near the western boundary of our property is concerned, I
plan to fill it in, in the very near future, and it will ultimately be covered with fill
material, and will become a pail of the 10' berm that parallels Highway'53E.
During the last 4 months of 2010, all of the wetlands on Shelter Creek Quarry
have been covered with water to the depth of 2 to 4 feet! Since we have had 21 electronic
monitoring wells for over 3 years, the accumulated data has supported the fact that we
have not affected any of the wetlands in a detrimental fashion. The large 119 acre
wetland has grown profusely with flora never before seen at our mine site. Native trees
are more abundant in this same tract, and the level spreader discharge system has allowed
this to happen. On the north side of the Highway 53E we had 2 electronic monitoring

wells. The recent logging that was allowed to occur, destroyed our 2 computerized
monitors. As you know, each electronic device costs over $1000.00 and we lost 2 of
them. On the other side of our quarry property to the west, the hunters during the recent
hunting season destroyed 1 more monitor. Because of 500 year flood we have just
experienced, we have lost 13 monitors and have S of them in situ as of 3 years ago.
These monitors are very expensive, and it is my wish that since we are just a
few weeks from getting our U.S. Corp of Engineers' wetland permit, I would likeke to
remove our man_itors_(4-of:them).from'the-NC-State'Gamelands, and not"have to purchase
additional monitors. Our wetlands have not been impacted in any negative fashion and -in
a few weeks, this will become a mute issue. I sincerely hope that you will consider this,
and not force us to purchase additional monitors because of vandalism and abuse of our
property.
t am including, herewith, all of our pumping logs for the past quarter, and as
you can see, it wasn't until December 1, 2011 that we pumped a million or less gallons
per day from our holding pond. The extremely cold weather has forced me to pump
entirely at night, and until warm weather appears, once again, we should not exceed
750,000 gallons per day! My outside testing agency has provided the analytical data that 1
have enclosed, and we are well within the limits outlined by the N.C. State guidelines. 1
await your response to my request as it pertains to replacing my monitors.
Respectfully Submitted,
Stephen Dorenda

Continuous rain during the first quarter of 2010.has kept water in all of the wetlands
regardless of the pumping from our sump area.
Mark Greenway and I have checked I lighway S3 during these past three montlis and there
are no signs of sink holes.
Enclosed with this letter 1 have attached all water testing data done by om' outside
contractors and ourselves. All data collected shows we are well within limits set by NC: State and the
Federal Government.
The pumping logs are attached and should you have any questiorrs, 1 will address tliern
immediately.

Dear Mr. Bennett,
Once again, we have had large quantities of rain during the past quarter. All wetlands
without wells have water- showing with depth and our wells are showing no loss of water. Because
of these two (2) reasons, it is evident that our pumping has not disrupted any of the wetlands.
Our water testing and that done by an outside contractor have shown that our water quality
has remained stable and within all limits set by the Federal and State regulations.
I and my foreman, Mark Greenway, have checked our mining boundaries and have not:
found any sink holes.
The timber people that have been working on the state lands adjoining our mining property
have destroyed our monitoring wells even though they were aware of their presence. I had to have
them repaired and we will place them back in the same locations shown on our submitted location
maps.
i have enclosed our pumping logs and analytical data and should you have any questions
pertaining to them, I will address any questions you might have immediately.
Respectfully submitted,

Dear Mr. Bennett,
� 2Q09
.Ncca2o&?9
I have submitted herewith our quarterly water discharge reports, water analysis reports
conducted by Environmental Chemist, Inc., and a letter from Southern Environmental Group, Inc.
who analyze our monitoring well data. As you can see, our well data has been corrected from May
11, 2007 through July, 2009. All of this data has been corrected and it does show that we have not
affected the wetlands surrounding our mineable acreage.
We are planning to have five of our wells repaired that were in dry areas from the onset of
our monitoring in May of 2007. The engineer from Southern Environmental Group, Inc., who
analyzes the well data, has redone all of the well data since it was in error. Any questions pertaining
to his new analysis can be directed to him at 910.443.0476.
Our water quality remains stable and so does the water quantity. I do not see anything that
shows any changes that are noteworthy.
I drove the entire boundary of our mining site to look for possible sink holes, and did not
find any.
I would be happy to answer any questions and will address comments should you have any.
Respectfully submitted,
Stephen Dorenda

Dear Mr. Bradley,
i am submitting herewith our quarterly water discharge reports along with the water
analysis conducted by Environmental Chemist, Inc.
During the first week of March 23, 2009 we had a large group of individuals from the US
Corps of Engineers, NC Wildlife Division, NC Water Quality, and the NC Land Management Division
on our plant site. The intent of this meeting was to evaluate the pump data for the total 252 acres of
mining property. It is our intention to delineate out approximately 29. acres of wetlands with the US
Corps of Engineers, so that this area can be mined in the future.
As our report shows, we are still pumping less than 500,000 gallons of water per day into
the wetland area near the tear drop lake. Our wetlands that have wells located in the actual
wetlands show very little or minor fluctuation of water levels for the entire quarter. We had over -
five inches of rain during the first quarter of 2009 and the actual water table in the wetlands remain
stable.
Also, mark Greenway has checked Highway 50 and its' ditch line for possible sink holes,
none were found.
Should you have any comments or questions, please forward them to me and they will be
addressed immediately.

Dear Mr. Bradley, r �r
I am submitting herewith our quarterly water discharge reports along with the water
analysis conducted by Environmental Chemist, Inc.
The only difference in our pumping is that we did not pump daily during December.
Because of some extremely cold days in December we elected to store more water in our mails
SUMP area so that we could pump at a slower, steady rate on the colder days to prevent freezing.
Because of the level spreader design, we still only discharged a maximum of 1,000,000
gallons of water per any one day.
Wells numbered 4, 9, 10, 12 & 13 have remained dormant. I feel this demonstrates imperial
evidence that wetlands do not exist at these stations.
Respectfully submitted,
Stephen Dorenda

Mr. Bradley Bennett
Storm Water Permitting Unit Supervisor
North Carolina Division of Water Quality
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, NC 27699-1617
Dear Mr. Bradley,
am submitting herewith our quarterly water discharge reports along with the water
analysis conducted by Environmental Chemist, Inc.
During the first week of July, 2008 1 had to terminate the employee who conducted our
wetland well monitoring. I had to have a new employee trained in conducting these tests, since all
of our wells are computerized. As you can see from the reported test well results, we began
compiling results from July 21, 2008. The end result of compiling test well readings is that we have
very little fluctuation in any of our 21 wells. That is significant since many of our wells are near our
main sump area which dewaters the quarry,
Any question or comments will be addressed by me immediately.
Respectfully submitted,
r �Auzv�
Stephen Dorenda
cc: Ms. Linda Willis

Memorandum
Date: November 12, 2008
To: Ronnie Smith, USACOE, Wilmington Office
From: Linda Willis, Environmental Engineer ],.DWQ, SWPS, Wilmington Regional Office dqj
Through: Ed Beck, Regional Supervisor, DWQ, SWPS, Wilmington Regional Office (WiRO) 41�
Subject: Shelter Creek Quarry
Request for Mine Expansion & 46.92 Acres of Wetland Impacts
The proposed mine expansion may require significant modifications to their existing operation
and monitoring plan. DWQ SWPS has received some monitoring well results for 20 shallow
monitoring wells. That data was provided to the Central Office on 7/31/2008. DWQ, WiRO
inspected the mine site in September. DWQ sent a letter requesting that Mr. Holland and/or his
consultant (Mr. Dorenda) contact the office to discuss the monitoring well data. To date, no
response from either have been received. Before this office can concur with an expansion, a
meeting is needed to discuss why all 20 monitoring wells (all supposedly installed in wetlands)
are not showing some hydrology indicative of wetlands. Furthermore, the Wilmington Regional
Office has recently received two complaints from local residents concerning impacts to their
drinking wells. Before the Division can consider the request to expand the mine and impact
additional wetlands, several issues pertaining to the operation and monitoring plan need to be
resolved. It would be beneficial if the USACOE would meet with DWQ and Holland Shelter
Quarry permittee to discuss the implications of the shallow monitoring well data as well as the
proposed wetland impacts.

Dear Mr. Bradley,

would like to invite your attention to a modification of our level spreader discharge system
since the submission of our last quarterly Wastewater DMR. Because we have deepened and
enlarged our main sump area in the mine, I needed to increase the quantity of water being
discharged from our site. As you know, we could only discharge 750,000 gallons of water per day
due to the design of the level spreader. I have modified the level spreader and now have the ability
to discharge 1,000,000 gallons per day. As you know from our past correspondence, this 1,000,000
gallon discharge limit is fixed regardless of what is pumped to my tear -drop lake for storage,
We are still close circuiting water on our property and our ditches continue to work
favorably adjacent to the North Carolina State property.
Enclosed, herewith, are April, May, and June's water discharge reports. Also, I have enclosed
monitoring well data for wells #1 thru #21, less #17. Monitoring well #17 did not download
properly on the computer and we will include it with our next report if that is agreeable with you?
Lastly, I have included the results of our water analysis conducted by Environmental
Chemist, Inc.
Any questions or comments will be addressed by me immediately. Thank you.
Respectfully submitted,
Stephen Dorenda

I gallon [US, liquid] = 0.133 680 555 56 cubic foot
24 hrs/day*(60 min/hr)*(60 sec/min) = 86400 seconds/day
(1,000,000 gal/day)/( 86400 seconds/day) = 11.57407 gal/second
11.57407 gal/second * 0.133 680 555 56 cubic foot/gal = 1.547 228 636 5 cubic foot/second
And if it only runs 8 hours/day = 4.6416859 cubic foot/second in an 8 hour day.
So... it would be a 13 ft/cfs * 4.6416859 cfs = 60.3419 ft level spreader. For a 1 mgd level -
spreader.
Does not seem like a lot - but... ??
The question is -
is the pond big enough to hold the design storm -
• What is the design storm?
• What is the drainage area going to that?

SHELTER CREEK QUARRY, L.L.C. W S�, 0 7 I
OPERATION AND MONITORING PLAN
BACKGROUND
The need for aggregate stone in the Pender, New Hanover, and Brunswick County
areas of Southeastern North Carolina is currently in a critical state. Certain sizes of
aggregate material are currently being sold on an allocation basis. The recent building
boom and construction demands have forced mining companies to ship aggregate
materials by rail at a cost of approximately $10.00 per ton, which has caused prices to
escalate to an average selling price of over $18.00 per ton.
Unfortunately, the natural way that crustaceous limestone is found in relatively
narrow layers causes mining companies to use vast acres of property in order to produce
quantities capable of satisfying the demand. The current demand for these three counties
exceeds three million tons of aggregate, and there is only one mine capable of satisfying
one-third of the demand.
Southeastern North Carolina has placed strict restrictions on mining in these
counties, and the population boom has left very few large tracts of land that can qualify
for mining permits. Wetlands occur naturally in these areas, and large tracts of land just
naturally have wetlands intertwined with dry land. The current open pit mine operating
in Pender County has impacted over 30 acres of wetlands, and is having difficulty
producing 1,000,000 tons per year of aggregate.
It is important to recognize that the proposed Shelter Creek Quarry is necessary
and beneficial to the growth demands being placed on this three county area, as well as
all of the road construction demands for maintenance and by-pass construction. The
Shelter Creek Mining Company has approximately 50,000,000 tons of aggregate reserves
in an extremely rural setting, and will only impact approximately 25 acres of wetlands
over a 50 year period of mining. It will suffice to say that the quality of life for a Pender
County resident will only be affected in a positive manner. The new jobs that this mine
will produce are too numerous to mention.
Shelter Creek Quarry will produce 1,000,000 tons of aggregate per year and will
need 50,000 truckloads per year to deliver to job sites. Imagine for a second how many
more trucks and drivers will be needed. The taxes derived from the purchase of
$8,000,000 worth of mining equipment and $3,000,000 in additional on the road trucks
and concrete equipment, as well as all of the employees necessary to operate this
equipment, will be a welcomed source of revenue to Pender County.
Current demands for drinking water and water for household use from coastal
communities in these three county areas have grown at a geometric rate. Natural coastal
aquifers are being or have been depleted from their underground source. As Shelter
Creek is mined, it will be able to provide millions and millions of gallons of water to
these communities, since the mining plans call for this site to turn into a reservoir once

the aggregate is mined. This water will be available for hundreds of years to come for
Duman consumption_
The most unique feature of the Shelter Creek Mining Plan is the fact that all water
that leaves the open pit area will never be pumped directly into any stream, creek, or
river. Although a maximum of 500,000 gallons of water could be pumped per day in the
First 2 years, a large portion of it will go through the 100 plus acre wetland that will stay
pristine and undisturbed because of the unique level spreader that will allow the water to
go directly into the wetland without disturbing it. Also, 9 monitoring wells have already
been installed and the water levels will be checked as necessary on a daily, weekly, and
monthly basis when deemed necessary. At the current time, they are being monitored on
a weekly basis, if other wells are needed, they will be installed!
Shelter Creek Mining Company is a must for Pender and surrounding counties
because human and industrial growth has placed increasing demands on aggregate
production!
MINING OPERATIONS
Description of Activities -- Open pit mining will be conducted using a sinking
cut, once overburden has been removed. Explosives will be used to establish the working
faces, but an attempt to dig the material without further use of explosives will be
attempted. The reasons that explosives would not be used are economic in nature, but
beneficial to everyone. If the rock is capable of being mined with only excavators, more
sellable stone can be made and the cost per ton would be reduced. A horizontal heading
will be established after a sinking has been shot and emptied. Consequently, if
explosives are used, the primary crusher will be located in the pit and charged with a
rubber -tired wheel loader. Material will then be sent to the finish plant for further
crushing and sizing by conveyor. Stockpiles of the finished material will be stored at the
finish plant. The finish plant will move to the east side of the main road when mining is
completed on the first 36 acre tract. Reclamation will be ongoing and completed when
the stone is removed. The time frame will be 6-7 years.
DRAINAGE FACILITIES
Any storm water that goes to the pit area will be pumped from a central pumping
station as depicted on the NPDES Map. All other ditches that are on the property will
still be used as well. No new ditches are expected to be needed. The ditches and sump
area deliver natural and storm water to the man-made lake for discharge. it will be
discharged evenly into the wetlands. No sump pump water will be directly pumped off
the mining site. The submitted cross sections show that the sump settling pump basin
will be approximately 100 ft. x 300 ft., and it will have the deepest mined area in the
quarry at —58 ft. MSL. The actual water level will automatically be controlled by
mercury switches, and will only pump water down to a nominal —45 ft. MSL. This is

necessary since non -turbid water is desired for pumping. Also, this will be the first
chance that suspended solids can be removed before any pumping sends water to the first
settling pond. The sump also provides a huge retention area in case of inclement
conditions. All storm water and ditch water is sent to the main sump area by grading or
ditches during extended mining operations. See the flow chart arrows on the NPDES
Map.
PUMPING FREQUENCY
Initially, quantities of water will be smaller at first due to the sire of the open pit.
The quantities of water will naturally become larger as the mine expands which causes
the aquifer to expand. At first, the aquifer will give up more gallons of water per hour
since this water represents storage water found in the aquifer. However, as the aquifer
grows, the water will have to migrate further in order to get to the pump station, and the
flow will tend to stabilize to a lesser flow rate.
Pumping periods will be controlled at the pump station by mercury switches and a
pumping log will be maintained on a daily basis. Although the float -mounted pump can
deliver 1400 gallons per minute, it is estimated that the pump station will not operate but
a short period every hour during operating hours. After operatin urs, the pump will
remain idle. Although the pump can send up to 2 million Mons of wat per day to the
level spreader, it is not going to pump more -than 250,00 � 500,010 'all Ins per day for
the first two to three years. This is simply because of the 0�e=of the=aquifer. This mining
plan'is only for 'ir2.5 acres, and it will be mined in two phases of 36_acres each. When the
first 36 acres is totally mined, water and wetlands should no longer be an issue since the
36 acres will be allowed to fill with water. It will take approximately 6-7 years to mine
the 36 acre tract.
\1t1 Since quantities of water to be pumped are all hypothetical and are attempted to
Y/ be pro ven�with=theoretical-formulas, I have -concluded that our initial pumping will
produce 250,000-500,000.ga Ions of water per day once the sinking cut has•been_made.
Naturally as-theillin rae c increases in size, so too wil l the aquifer increase in size.
Thus, Mr. Walton's testing shows at the end of 6-7 year period, we will have 1,000,000
to 1,500,000 gallons of water to be pumped daily. - -
HYDROLOGY MONITORING
There are currently 9 monitoring wells reporting data and 4 more proposed when
actual mining commences. Monitoring designs of the shallow wells and deep wells are
enclosed as Figures I and 2. All pipes from these wells extend 3-4 feet above ground
elevation and are easily seen. "They are also flagged. Monitoring will stay on a weekly
frequency until such time that the results no longer change dramatically. �-

i
The monitoring wells located near the isolated wctlands'will show the success or
failure of adding; too much, too little, or the right amount of water to keep the wetlands'
water table stable. Based on actual recorded results, water pplemented by water
cannons to these wetlands will be increased, decreased, or, , ped based on actual
weather conditions. I invite your attention to the fact tha ° o of all water pumped from
the main sump area will be recycled. That amount can be increased or decreased based
on factual information derived from the monitoring; wells. The ponds holding water for
the isolated wetlands will have float mounted pumps with single manifolds capable of
running, three water cannons at one time. The water cannons can spray 75 gallons per
minute or 4500 gallons per hour of pond water.
A rain gauge will be located on a post at the northeast corner of the maintenance
building. Inspections and recordings will be conducted and all data will be recorded in
the same pumping log book that is used for monitoring wells. Rain gauge data will be
compiled daily.
MONITORING REPORTS
Discharge monitoring results in accordance with the terms of this permit,
NC6020000, shall be submitted no later than 30 days from the end of the monitoring;
period. Duplicate signed copies of all reports required shall be submitted to the NC
DESNR Division of Water Quality, Water Quality Section, ATTENTION Central Files,
1617 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617. Shelter Creek will
report orally any non-compliance within 24 hours after Shelter Creek Mining becomes
aware of the non-compliance.

MAINTENANCE AREA
The submitted NPDES Map shows a maintenance building slightly NW of the
horseshoe pond adjacent to the level spreader pond. An additional 30 by 75 ft., or 2,250
square foot, building addtion will be added to the southern end of the current building.
This new area will have a covered roof and a concrete floor. General preventive
maintenance will be conducted in this area by an outside contractor who will provide all
grease and necessary oil with his service truck. The floor of this new area will consist of
a two block high wall on top oF6 inches of a concrete floor. The open end of this
maintenance area will have a 7 inch concrete silent policeman attached to the concrete
floor. The total floor area along with the silent policeman provides 42 cubic yards of
contained concrete storage in case of spills.
30x75x.5
27 = 42 cubic yards
42 x 201.974 = 8,483 gallons of storage
The floor will have 2 drains located at 25 ft, intervals in the concrete floor and
connected to a 4x6 ft. sump area located outside of the building by PVC pipe. The actual
sump area will be covered with a removable roof to prevent the stored material from
inclement weather.
Bags of Oil Dri will be provided on both sides of the maintenance building area
and will sprinkled over small wet areas. The absorbed material would be swept into a
pile and then transferred a 55 gallon barrel to be environmentally sealed and sent to an
appropriate dump site.
NOTE'.! The recent 500 year flood did not reach the maintenance building floor in
September 1999.
EXCESSIVE OVERBURDEN
The NPDES Map depicts an overburden stockpile area that is located east of the
main entrance road near Highway 53. This temporary stockpile is surrounded to the
north by a 50 fl_ berm, to the west by a ditch line, and is totally surrounded by a silt fence
as shown in the legend of this map. Flow arrows show the graded area moving water to
the west which will ultimately go into a ditch that will carry any storm water to the main
sump area. This material will not leave the confines of the mining property.

RE: Shelter Creek Quarry LLC Mine, Pender County, Cape Fear River Basin
Dear Mr. Nevils,
This letter is in response to Item 1 of your letter dated June 19, 2006 to Mr. Stephen Holland.
I have attached theoretical calculations predicting the water withdrawal amounts from the
mine dewatering activities.
The calculations predict a withdrawal rate of about 2 million gallons per day at the time when
the first mine area has been fully mined to an area of 35 acres (at which time dewatering will
cease permanently in the first mine area.)
The calculations were performed using Transmissivity determined from the pump test data
previously submitted, Please note that the Transmissivity value is 1,944 square feet per day
versus 2,333 square feet per day determined in the pump test data analysis. An error was
discovered in plotting the distance of observation well B-6 from the pump test well on the
pump test data analysis. When plotted correctly, the Transmissivity is 1,944 square feet per
day (see corrected plot of Distance vs Drawdown.)
Also, note that the predicted radius of influence from the pump test data is 2,722 feet, whereas
the predicted radius of influence when the mine is 35 acres is 5,280 feet, This is because the
pump test flow was 100 gallons per minute and the pumped well was 4" diameter.
It is very important to know that the predicted flow of 2 million gallons per day is higher than
the actual flow will be when the mine reaches 35 acres in size. The actual flow will be less
because the aquifer Transmissivity will decrease over time as the limestone aquifer is
dewatered. The actual final flow is expected to be between 1 million gallons per day and 1.5
million gallons per day based on experience and based on the fact that East Coast Limestone
was reportedly pumping 1 million gallons per day when their mine dewatering area was 250
acres and their depth was 60 feet below ground surface. East Coast Limestone is 2 miles East
of the Shelter Creek Quarry site on Highway 53.

Also, the dewatering flow from Shelter Creek Quarry will be much less than the ultimate
predicted flow at the commencement of mining. The flow will increase as the mine
dewatering area increases.
If you have any questions, please call me at 910-259-4800.

Assume Horizontal Flow (Dupuit-Forchheimer)
Solution Procedure: Enter data in highlighted cells.
Adjust q and hw in Thiem until Q and Qv are nearly equal (velocity
x area must = Q for mass conservation.)
Given: Q = 2,000,000 gpd = 1388.9 gpm
T = 1,944 ft`/day
Aquifer Thickness, D = 60 ft
Hydraulic Conductivity, K = 32 fifday
H = 75 ft, x 0.99 = h2 = 74.25 ft

NOTE: As flow is increased with no change in drawdown, the Radius of
Influence decreases.
Check h by Groundwater Velocit :
n = 0.18
dh = (h2 - hw) = 44.25 ft
dl = (r2 - rw) = 4.58E+03 ft
v = Kdhfnd4 = 1.74E+00 ft/day

Per our recent telephone conversation on July 24, 2006, I am submitting herewith some facts as stated
by local residents, private land owners, and state employees as it pertains to sink holes and water pumping over
a 25 year period.
I first contacted Mr. Bobby Goodson, past owner of East Coast Limestone who stated that he mined
within 25 feet of highway 53 and pumped 1,200,000 gallons of water daily with his mining operation. He
further stated that he never saw a sink hole on his mining property, on highway 53, or never received a
complaint of a sink hole from any of the land owners surrounding his mine.
I then contacted state employee Mr. Ray Knowles (Road Maintenance Supervisor-NCDOT) who was
responsible for right of ways, ditches and general maintenance for Pender County and surrounding areas. Never
during his 25 year tenure as supervisor did Mr. Knowles hear of or personally see any sink holes or other
problems from the mining operation on highway 53.
I later spoke to Mr. Hagen Blake of the NC Forest Service who stated that they never had a problem in
the Maple Hill area or Angola Bay as it pertained to sink holes or other excessive pumping problems.
Next I visited W. Willis Sholar, Dwight Shofar and Joe Sholar who own Sholar Farms and Fertilizer.
They have farmed the area around East Coast Limestone for approximately 30 years and have actually planted
and farmed my land for the past five years. They have farmed the surrounding area with corn and soy beans for
the past 30 years. My farm has been planted with corn for the past 10 years and they have fertilized and farmed
it during this period of time as well. They stated that they have never seen sink holes within approximately 10
miles of this mine and never had crop problems because of dewatering at the East Coast Limestone mine.
I then went to Mr. David Watts' home who is the adjoining landowner to my farm and discussed this
same issue of sink holes and water problems. He stated that he never had any water problems as it might relate
to dewatering nor has he ever seen sink holes in this area.
Because of all the concerns over sink holes and possible dewatering of wetlands and adjoining property,
I have also included my following comments:
Since quantities of water to be pumped are all hypothetical and are attempted to be proven with
theoretical formulas, I have included some interesting data comparing cones of depletion. As we

know, some individuals tend to use deductive reasoning as it pertains to proposed pumping
quantities and sink holes.
Example: Sink holes have been found in crustaceous limestone; consequently, all crustaceous limestone has
sink holes. Certain mining operations at Rocky Point and Castle Hayne pump large quantities of water,
consequently; all proposed mining operations in this area will pump large quantities of water.
I have included a map titled Cone of Depletion for two different mine sites. This map shows cones of
depletion of 8,000 feet, and rater my attempting to quote more deductive reasoning for these two sites; I wish to
produce some empirical reasoning as follows:
EAST COAST LIMESTONE COMPANY was in business for 25 years and produced the following factual
information:
I , They mined 250 acres of land north and northwest of Highway 53.
2, They mined within 25 feet of Highway 53.
3. They never pumped over 1.2 million gallons of water per day. That occurred in the last five
years of operation. They pumped far less water per day in the previous 20 years.
q. They never had any sink holes show up in their area of mining, in or on any farmland adjoining
the property, nor on FTighway 53.
5. Farmers who were contacted that planted corn and soybeans in the area surrounding the mine
stated that they never saw sink holes.
6. Farmers in the surrounding area never complained that the mine dewatered their property to the
extent that farming was affected.
7. The over -lapping cones of depletion shown on the map prove that both mine sites have an area
of exacting conditions.
8. The sedimentary rock found at Shelter Creek has the same type of cap rock that was found at
East Coast Limestone, because actual pump down test showed very small vertical movement of
the water in the over -burden. The deep wells showed the greatest amount of vertical depletion
of water.
9. Empirical proof delineated above shows that water depletion in over -burden will be at a
minimum and sink holes will not become a problem with Shelter Creek Mining begins its
operation.

Subject: NPDES Stommater General Permit
Additional Information Request
NCG020679 Application
Dear Ms. Georgoulias,
Below is the additional information you requested per your letter dated June 12, 2006.
Question 1: The application indicates three (3) types of discharge (Stonnwater, mine dewatering,
and process wastewater overflow). Are all of these waters discharged from one point -at the level
spreader? (OW)
Answer 1: The application indicates (2) types of discharge (Stormwater and mine dewatering). The
process wastewater does not exist since this is a closed circuited wash water .tem. Current
NPDES map (72.5 acres) shows "surface water flows" and "pump station" discharge to the level
spreader by way of the Horseshoe pond which is used for secondary settling.
Question 2: Please provide design specifications and calculations for the level spreader and water
cannons. (OW)
Answer 2: The design specifications and calculations have been provided and attested by Mr. Mark
Walton of Walton Engineering. The water cannons will provide 75gpm of water to the isolated
wetland areas that will be monitored on a weekly basis with shallow wells. Ponds depicted on
NPDES map show locations of same. A central manifold system with gate valves will allow water to
be spread by the water cannons based on average rainfall, since isolated wetlands do not have a
source supply of water. See engineering calculations (Table of Contents #3).
Question 3: The narrative states the level spreader will not discharge directly into the wetland;
however, the retention pond map shows the level spreader discharging to wetlands. Please clearly
address this discrepancy. (OEM)
Answer 3: The level spreader shows a 200' manifold paralleling the retention pond and in fact
discharging a level stream of water onto mineable property. Ultimately this water will migrate to the
wetlands, but is not directly discharging onto wetlands depicted on the map. The whole point of this
discussion is to show that there is no single small area of discharge into the wetlands (single point
discharge by pipe). The water leaving the mining property into the wetlands will be a fraction of an
inch of water along a 200' strip of land.
Question 4: The radius of influence calculation provided is based on a steady-state radial flow
equation. What assumptions were used for determining this radius of influence around the mining
site? Please •submit any available monitoring well data that support assumptions. Please clearly
detail in your written response these assumptions are justified at this mine site. (You should include
in your response all appropriate calculations and copies of relevant citations.) Please address the
discrepancies between the submittal of the second radius of influence calculation vs. the first

submitted, and their discrepancy with the calculation performed by the Land Quality Section utilizing
the data you provided with your second calculation. Once the zone of influence is determined,
identify the wetlands in the impact area and locate additional monitoring wells (if needed)
accordingly. (OW)
Answer 4: See enclosed pump down data submitted by Walton Engineering.
Question 5: The narrative describes a "cone of depletion" from the initial quarry pond that covers "an
1800' area." Contrary to the statement on page 5, this value is not mentioned earlier in the narrative.
Where does this value come from, and how was it determined or calculated? What are the
assumptions? The 1800' cone of depletion refers only to the impacts the initial quarry pond will
impose. Please provide the cone of depletion caused by the proposed Phase 1 mine pit Identify all
areas on site and off site that will be impacted by the dewatering activities. Determine whether
additional monitoring wells would be required if impacts will occur in areas outside the present
monitoring well locations. (OW)
Answer 5: See enclosed pump down data submitted by Walton Engineering.
Question 6: Please provide data or other information about how seasonal changes in the water
table relative to the wetlands and their jurisdictional status have been evaluated. (OW)
Answer 6: It is a known fact that water tables north of the equator raise from winter to spring and
lower from summer to fall. However, there are (6) wells in the wetlands area (shown on NPDES
map) that have been monitored through a 15 month period. See attached monitoring well data
(Table of contents #7).
Question 7: The narrative indicates the wetlands will be protected through the use of ponds, water
cannons, and a level spreader, but there are no calculations or models to support this claim. Please
provide additional technical information and calculations to support that these techniques will protect
the surrounding hydrology. The narrative (page2) suggests for every 12 squarefeet of wetland, 1
gallon of water will be dispersed. At what rate is this discharge being proposed? (OW)
Answer 7: The necessary calculations on the level spreader have been sent in with prior
submissions of data; however, I am sending that information again (See Table of Contents #1). As
for keeping the isolated wetlands wet with water cannons, the following formula shows how much
water is necessary to equal the normal precipitation based on the thirty year average _rainfall
amounts:
(Also see Table of Contents #2)
Inches of rain + X sq ft X 7.48 = (x) gallons
Using 116.9" of rain/year (30 year average) for this area, I can calculate the number of gallons per n o
rain days that would be necessary to have water sprayed by the water cannons to the isolated
wetlands. Average size of the isolated wetlands is 1.437-acres which is 62,595.72 ft2
Example: 116.9.1-12 X 62,595.72 ftz = 609,876
609178nt3 X 7.48 gallons = 4,561,202.4 gallons per year r'
4,561,202.4 gallonslyear + 12 Months = 380,100 gallons per month
380,100 gallons/month + 30 days/month=12,670 gallons per day per average wetland v�

12,670 gallons/day X 17 isolated wetlands = 215,390 gallons/day --
19 dry days/month X 215,390 gallons/day = 4,092,410 /month
Main sump area pump 500,000gallons/day X 30 days = 15,000,000 gallons per month
15,000,000 gallons/month - 4,092,410 = 10,907,590 gallons to main wetland per month
Level Spreader will only spread: 500,000 gallons/day-215,390 gallons/day or 284,610 gallons daily
It is significant to note that 27% of all water that leaves the main pumping station will be closed
circuited to keep the isolated wetlands pristine.
The del area of wetland receiving -the -proposed 500,000 gallons of water per day to be pumped
from
the main sump area, to'the fevel_spreader-� 116 acres or 5,052,960 W. However, because the
isolated wetlands will bE re nryce g 73% of this total, the main wetland will only have an average of
� 315,600 gallons per day. Consequently, 1 gallon of water will have 5,052,960 ft3/315,000 or 16.04ft2
area of wetland to percolate through. z�
l�,OVOThe ponds holding water for the isolated wetlands will have float mounted pumps with manifolds
ocapable of running (3) water cannons at one time. The water cannons can spray 75 gallons per
minute or 4500 gallons per hour.
Based on the previous example given an average isolated wetland would need 12,670 gallons of
water pumped on non rainy days. With water cannon delivering 4500 gallons per hour, it would take
2.82 hours to spray 12,670 gallons onto an average wetland.
Question 8: Please clearly indicate the amount of buffer to be established around the mine footprint
edge and the respective wetland edges. Are the wetlands located within this buffer and will they be
drained from the hydraulic gradient change and pumping of the mine?
Answer 8: Maps that have been submitted and the map currently submitted show a minimum 50'
buffer away from all wetlands to the edge of the mine. The wetlands are not in the buffer and all
isolated wetlands will be monitored by monitoring wells located in each wetland's general area.
Provisions have been delineated to keep these area wet. (See #7 of this document.)
Question 9: Please provide wetland monitoring plan such that data may be collected to insure that
wetlands proposed to be avoided are adequately monitored.
a) Wetland Monitoring Plan. The wetland monitoring plan should include a map indication
the landscape position of all wetlands, ditches, proposed well placement, borrow
areas, stormwater controls, the mine footprint and frequency of wetland physical
monitoring (efforts to periodically reaffirm the presence of the jurisdictional wetland line
and soils), well data collection, well inspections and maintenance, data analysis, and
reporting. This plan should also include clear details on a monitoring plan schedule.
The monitoring of the wetland and all existing monitoring wells should begin
immediately if these data have not been collected.
Answer a: Wetland Monitoring Plan: The primary largest wetland area has (6) monitoring wells that

inspection of the mining area is mandatory, and during this pre -start-up inspection, the VP of
Operations or a designated foreman will conduct the following inspections.
1) On a weekly basis until a norm is established -measure all monitoring wells and
record heights from top of pipe.
2) Once pumping has commenced, inspect and record heights of water in the
main wetland area weekly instead of monthly. Also, general conditions of wells
will be noted.
3) A log book listing all wells will be kept in the VP or Operations office with all
collected and reported data from inspections. Site checks for sink holes or any
other abnormalities will be done daily and all findings recorded with time and
date of such listings.
b) Well Placement. The placement of wells should be placed within the mine site property
boundary and within the cone of depression (you must explain how many wells will be
installed, their locations and provide details on installation, data loggers and depths,
etc.)
Answer b: Well Placement: The current submitted map shows the location of all current wells and
proposed shallow wells. Details of the actual construction of both deep and shallow wells are
attached. (See Table of contents #5 & #S). Initially, an electronic dip meter will be used to measure
water depths manually.
c) Monitoring. Monitoring results prior to mine site operation will be a requirement
Specifically, once the monitoring wells locations are approved monitoring must occur
prior to the time of construction and through the duration of time the site is being
mined, and for 5 years after the mining efforts have been completed unless otherwise
approved in writing by NCDWQ_ Please include a monitoring plan response.
Answer c: Monitoring: Data from the main wetland area over a 15 month period is attached for (6)
wells. All other proposed monitoring wells will be constructed prior to making the initial sinking cut
and pumping of any water. All wells will be monitored weekly until some nominal standards are
established. See (A)1, 2 &3.
d) Well Maintenance Plan. Wells must be property installed and property maintained
throughout the active Iife of the mine, through reclamation efforts, and for 5 years after
the Division of Land Resources releases the site and determines Holland Shelter mine
site has been reclaimed unless otherwise approved in writing by NCDWQ. Please
include well maintenance plan with your response.
Answer d: Well Maintenance Plan: The projected numbers of wells is a total of 14. rSix have been in
_
operation for 13 months and 3 have been in operation for 3 months. The other 5 shallow wells are
proposed. It must be remembered that after the first 3040 acres west of the roadway separating the
mining area has been mined, it will be immediately reclaimed and allowed to fill with water. Thus
reclamation will be completed in approximately 6 to 7 years and water will become much less of an
issue. All wells will be monitored on a monthly basis after reclamation with results recorded as stated
and A-3. The new mining area to the east of the roadway will stay on weekly well monitoring
inspections. After both sides of the 72.5 acres have been mined, all the monitoring wells will be
inspected and data collected for the remaining (5) years after reclamation efforts are finished.
e) Physical,Monitoring. Physical monitoring of wetlands for instability, erosion, sloughing,
subsidence, collapse, newly formed sinkholes and/or removal of the hydrology of
wetlands is also required. This monitoring may be accomplished by inspection of the

wetland areas while conduction well maintenance efforts. Provide a physical
monitoring plan with your response. (O&M)
Answer e: Physical Monitoring: See A, 1, 2 & 3. As stated previously, all the wells will be checked
weekly until a norm is established or six months has transpired. After a (6) month period the wells will
be checked monthly since comparison data will have been recorded and analyzed. After one year of
mining, the wells will be checked quarterly unless previous results deem it necessary to monitor
more frequently.
fj Please clearly explain how you propose to analyze these monitoring data to determine
whether the wetland hydrology is removed or being maintained. If monitoring results
indicate impacts to the avoided wetlands, please explain how these impacts may be
abated. You must provide on your site map, the location of a permanent on site rain
gauge. Monitoring data and proper maintenance of the rain gauge must be provided.
(O&M)
Answer f: Since water is available to replenish wetlands, the monitoring wells located near these
areas will show the success or failure of adding too much, too little, or the right amount to keep the
wetland water table stable. Based on future recorded results, water supplemented to these wetlands
can be increased, decreased or stopped based on actual weather conditions provided by nature.
invite you attention to the fad that 27% of all water pumped from the main sump area will be
recycled. That amount can be increased or decreased based on factual information derived from the
monitoring wells. A rain gauge will be located on a post at the NE comer of the maintenance building
and along side of Boring Hole (134). Inspections and recordings will be conducted and maintained in
the log book discussed in A-3.
g) Please provide more detail about groundwater monitoring strategies that will be used
to demonstrate the effect of pumping, and what type of pumping regime will be
necessary to reduce impacts to wetlands. More extensive pumping test data should be
included. This and the information in the two aforementioned bulleted items should be
part of a comprehensive Operation and Monitoring (O&M) plan, which requires
approval by the Division (as specified in NPDES permit NCG02000) before issuance.
Answer g: MARK WALTON
h) The 72.5 acre mining site is estimated to produce 250,000 gallons per day (gpd) of
water. The only reference to how this value was obtained was that the estimate had
been 500,000 gallons when the original plan was fora mine over twice as large.
Please provide calculations to support the 250,000 gpd estimate. (O&M)
Answer h: MARK WALTON
i) The application indicates process wastewater overflow will be discharged in addition to
mine dewatering (Question 7), and that overflows will occur during rain events
exceeding the 10-year event (Question 15.c.), however, there are no detail about any
dosed400p recycle system that has the potential to overflow. Will'there be a recycle
system that has the potential to overflow. Will there be a recycle system for any
wastewater? (if so, plans, specifications, and design calculations must be submitted
for approval.) (0&M)
Answer I: This statement is not true. Process wastewater has always been depicted as being close -
circuited water for washing stone. It never touches the ground except in the make-up pond area
which has more storage capacity than what is needed for a 100 year 24 hour storm.. The map shows

exact design and features that prevent this wash water from mixing with any other collected or
pumped water. Prior submitted maps and the enclosed map show necessary specifications and
storage capacity. This pond can easily contain a 100 year 24 hour storm (10"124hrs).
J What size storm event have the settling ponds and retention pond been designed for?
(For example, the 10-year, 24hour event) Please provide calculations to support that
these ponds will be able to hold run-off f om the design storm, as wellasthe-mining
operation process wastewater pumped there. Is this the only place where Stormwater
MY discharge_ from this site? (OW)
Answer j: The primary sinking cut to begin mining will be 200'X600'X70' or 155,555.65 yd3 with a
total storage capacity of 31,418,176 gallons of water if the entire hole filled. However, a smaller area
in the floor of this sinking cut will be 100'X300'X20' or 600,000 yd3 of storage. This -represents
1,211,844.0 gallons of water storage. Consequently, the smaller sump area will be keIt5' below the
floor level for storage at ail times. This leaves a storage capacity of 302,961 gallons on a day today
basis. This main sinking cut, however, can fill to capacity and thus under the worst possible
conditions can hold 31,000,000+ gallons since the pump station floats and there is not a need to
pump during inclement conditions if one does not wish to pump.
k) Maintenance areas and bulk fie/ storage areas are not indicated on the site map.
Please how where these areas will be. What secondary containment will be provided?
(BMP)
Answer k: The submitted map shows a maintenance building slightly NW of the horseshoe wetland
adjacent to the level spreader pond. An additional 30'X75' or 2,250 ftz building addition will be added
to the southern end of the current building. This area will be with a covered roof and concrete floor.
General preventative maintenance will be conducted in this area by an outside contractor who will
provide grease and oil on his service truck. The floor area will consist of a 2 block high concrete
walled area on to p of 6° of concrete. The open end will have a 7" silent policeman made of concrete
which will be attached to the concrete floor. This floor area and blocks, along with the silent
policeman provides 42 yd3 of contained concrete storage for spills. 30 X 75X .5' +- 27 = 42 yd3
The floor will have (2) drains located at 25' intervals in the concrete floor and connected to a 4' X 6'
sump area outside of the building by PVC pipe. The actual sump area will be covered with a
removable roof to prevent from inclement weather. Bags of "Oil Dri" will be provided on both sides of
the maintenance area and would be sprinkled over wet areas. The absorbed material would be
swept into a pile and then transferred to a 55 gallon barrel to be sent to an environmentally
appropriate dump site.
NOTE: 500 year flood did not reach the maintenance building floor in September 1999.
As far as bulk storage of diesel fuel, a 10,000 gallon steel tank will be located along the SE comer of
the maintenance building with a built-in secondary containment tank. All maintenance will be
provided by an outside contractor where the mining equipment is purchased. This maintenance will
be conducted by the vendor's employees with the vendor's maintenance truck.
!) The application indicated that this facility was not going to use chemicals for
flocculation; however, the narrative discusses the potential for chemical additions to
the wastewater. Will tlocculants potentially be used at this site? (BMP)
\/Answer 1: No flocculants will be used at this site.
m) Please include the retention pond on the detailed wellands and site layout map. (BMP)
Answer m: It is on the enclosed map.

Dear Mr. Holland:
The Division of Water Quality Regional and Central office staff have reviewed the Shelter Creek Quarry
Wetland and NPDES Permit Narrative. The Division of Water Quality's Stormwater Permitting Unit in
the Central Office received your application for coverage under the above NPDES General Stormwater
Permit on May 16, 2006. After review of the submitted material, the Division is requesting additional
information to complete processing this permit application. The Regional Office personnel have met on
several occasions with you and your engineer/s and have offered guidance and assistance at your every
request. -The objective of this correspondence is to help provide direction for your consulting engineers
in order for you to adequately understand, provide and meet the requirements in accordance with the
NPDES General Mining Permit NCG020000. It is our understanding that the concerns of the Land
Quality Section of the Division of Land Resources, the NC Wildlife Resources Commission and
Division of Water Resources per the letter dated June 9, 2006 from Mr. Williams should be addressed if
the requests of this correspondence are met.
Your attention is directed to the following areas of the attached General Permit language:
Compliance with Part II Section A: Requirements to Construct New or Expanding Treatment Facilities
Should the Shelter Creek Quarry utilize a process recycle wastewater system, an Authorization to
Construct will be necessary. Shelter Creek Quarry shall meet the requirements for operation of this
treatment facility per Part II Section B.
Compliance with Part III: Monitoring, Controls, and Limitations for Permitted Discharges
Section A of Part III requires the permittee to develop and implement a stormwater Best
Management Practices (BMPs) Plan. The Shelter Creek Quarry Wetland and NPDES Permit narrative
describes some BMPs, but does not present them in a plan that can be easily followed, understood or
implemented by quarry employees. The BMPs plan should address items I through 6 in Section A of
Part III. In order to be sure that all areas of concern are addressed, the plan should follow the Table of
Contents as closely as possible. N"ort�`hcarolma

Compliance with Section C Part II1 1. Through 6.: Effluent Limitations and Monitoring Requirements
for Mine Dewatering Wastewater and Process Wastewater
This section of the permit requires Shelter Creek Quarry to provide an Operation and Monitoring
Plan that will demonstrate the effect of pumping and, as necessary, establish the pumping regime
necessary to reduce the potential impacts to adjacent wetlands_ Please refer to Page 5 of 9 Part III of the
NPDES NCG020000 Permit Conditions.
Based on the above the Division is requesting the following information to support continued processing
of this permit application:
• The application indicates three (3) types of discharge (stormwater, mine dewatering, and process
wastewater overflow ). Are all of these waters discharged from one point —at the level
spreader?(O&M)
• -Please provide design specifications and calculations for the level spreader and water
cannons.(O&M)
• The narrative states the level spreader will not discharge directly into the wetland; however, the
retention pond map shows the level spreader discharging to wetlands. Please clearly address this
discrepancy.(O&M )
• The radius of influence calculation provided is based on a steady-state radial flow equation.
What assumptions were used for determining this radius of influence around the mining site?
Please submit any available monitoring well data that support assumptions. Please clearly detail
in your written response these assumptions are justified at this mine site. (You should include in
your response all appropriate calculations and copies of relevant citations.) Please address the
discrepancies between the submittal of the second radius of influence calculation vs. the first
submitted, and their discrepancy with the calculation performed by the Land Quality Section
utilizing the data you provided with your second calculation. Once the zone of influence is
determined, identify the wetlands in the impact area and locate additional monitoring wells (if
needed) accordingly. (O&M)
• The narrative describes a "cone of depletion" from the initial quarry pond that covers "an 1800'
area." Contrary to the statement on page S, this value is not mentioned earlier in the narrative.
Where does this value come from, and how was it determined or calculated? What are the
assumptions? The 1800' cone of depletion refers only to the impacts the initial quarry pond will
impose. Please provide the cone of depletion caused by the proposed Phase I mine pit. Identify
all areas on.site and off site that will be impacted by the dewatering activities. Determine
whether additional monitoring wells would be required if impacts will occur in areas outside the
present monitoring well locations. (O&M)
• Please provide data or other information about how seasonal- changes in the water table relative
to the wetlands and their jurisdictional status have been evaluated.(O&M)
• The narrative indicates the wetlands will be protected through the use of ponds, waier canons,
and a level spreader, but there are no calculations or models to support this claim. Please
provide additional technical information and calculations to support that these techniques will
protect the surrounding hydrology. The narrative (page 2) suggests for every 12 square feet of
wetland, 1 gallon of water will be,dispersed. At what rate is this discharge being proposed?
(O&M)
+ Please clearly indicate the amount of buffer to be established around the mine footprint edge and
the respective wetland edges. Are the wetlands located within this buffer and will they be
drained from the hydraulic gradient change and pumping of the mine?

• Please provide wetland monitoring plan such that data may be collected to insure that wetlands
proposed to be avoided are adequately monitored."
*Wetland Monitoring Plan. The wetland monitoring plan should include a map indicating the
landscape position of all wetlands, ditches, proposed well placement, borrow areas, stormwater
controls, the mine footprint and frequency of wetland physical monitoring (efforts to periodically
reaffirm the presence of the jurisdictional wetland line and soils), well data collection, well
inspections and maintenance, data analysis, and reporting. This plan should also include clear
details on a monitoring plan schedule. The monitoring of the wetland and all existing monitoring
wells should begin immediately if these data have not been collected.
*Well Placement. The placement of wells should be placed within the mine site property
boundary and within the cone of depression (you must explain how many wells will be installed,
their locations and provide details on installation, data loggers and'depths etc.)
*Monitoring. Monitoring results prior to mine site operation will be a requirement.
Specifically, once the monitoring wells locations are approved monitoring must occur prior to
the time of construction and through the duration of the time the site is being mined, and for 5
years after the mining efforts have been completed unless otherwise approved in writing by
NCDWQ. Please include a monitoring plan response.
*Well Maintenance Plan. Wells must be properly installed and properly maintained
throughout the active life of the mine, through reclamation efforts, and for 5 years after the
Division of Land Resources releases the site and determines the Holland Shelter mine site has
been reclaimed unless otherwise approved in writing by NCDWQ. Please include a well
maintenance plan with your response.
*Physical Monitoring., Physical monitoring of wetlands for instability, erosion, sloughing,
subsidence, collapse, newly formed sinkholes and/or removal of the hydrology of wetlands is
also required. This monitoring may be accomplished by inspection of the wetland areas while
conducting well maintenance efforts. Provide a physical monitoring plan with your
response.(O&M)
• Please clearly explain how you propose to analyze these monitoring data to determine whether
the wetland hydrology is removed or being maintained. If monitoring results indicate impacts to
the avoided wetlands, please explain how these impacts may be abated. You must provide on
your site map, the location of a permanent on site rain gauge. Monitoring data and proper
maintenance of the rain gauge must be provided.(O&M)
• Please provide more detail about groundwater monitoring strategies that will be used to
demonstrate the effect of pumping, and what type of pumping regime will be necessary to reduce
impacts to wetlands. More extensive pumping test data should be included. This and the
information in the two aforementioned bulleted items should be part of a comprehensive
Operation and Monitoring (O&M) Plan, which requires approval by the Division (as specified
in NPDES permit NCG020000) before issuance.(O&M)
• The 72.5 acre mining site is estimated to produce 250,000 gallons per day (gpd) of water. The
only reference to how this value was obtained was that the estimate had been 500,000 gallons
when the original plan was for a mine over twice as large. Please provide calculations to support
the 250,000 gpd estimate.(O&M)
• The application indicates process wastewater overflow will be discharged in addition to mine
dewatering (Question 7.), and that overflows will occur during rain events exceeding the 10-year
event (Question 15.c.). however, there are no details about any closed -loop recycle system that
has the potential to overflow. Will there be a recycle system for any wastewater? (If so, plans,
specifications, and design calculations must be submitted for approval.)(O&M)

example, the 10-year, 24-hour event?) Please provide calculations to support that these ponds
will be able to hold run-off from the design storm, as well as the mining operation process
wastewater pumped there. Is this the only place where stormwater will discharge from this
site?(O&M)
• Maintenance areas and bulk fuel storage areas are not indicated on the site map. Please show
where these areas will be. What secondary containment will be provided? (BMP)
• The application indicated that this facility was not going to use chemicals for flocculation;
however, the narrative discusses the potential for chemical additions to the wastewater. Will
flocculants potentially be used at this site?(BMP)
• Please include the retention pond on the detailed wetlands and site layout map.(BMP)
• In the BMPs plan the analytical and qualitative monitoring requirements for mine dewatering
wastewater and wastewater associated with sand/gravel mining must be specifically addressed
and identified to ensure these requirements are understood and met. (BMP)
• The General Stormwater & Wastewater Permit for Mining (NCG020000) requires a Stormwater

Division of Land Resources be implemented. In addition, the NCG02 permit requires qualitative
and analytical monitoring of discharges. Please submit the Stormwater BMPs Plan for this site
and plans for addressing monitoring requirements. This submittal is not required before the
permit can be issued but must be submitted before breaking ground at the mine site.(BMP)

Hello Noelle. . . and to the rest,
I reviewed the 0 & M plan for the Holland Shelter Mine, I called Angie and left a
message with her receptionist for 3 minor
additional comments to be placed in their appropriate places (I'll leave that to
Angie). They were as follows:
1.) Mine dewatering will cease if immediate and effective measures are unsuccessful
in resolving any notable wetland impacts in the surrounding property (not owned by
Mr. Holland) and can resume when authorized by DWQ. (Unless, Noelle, should we hold
as hard a line for those isolated wetlands within the Holland property line?)
2.) Should any chemical additive be necessary to improve the quality of the discharge
from the mine to meet the specified limitations imposed by the NPDES permit, the
delivery system for the chemicals and the chemicals must be authorization by the
Division Director before being utilized.
3.) Discharge monitoring - If effluent limitations are exceeded, immediate
notification will be made to the Wilmington Regional Office Surface Water Protection
Section upon knowledge of such. The discharge will be discontinued until the
exceedance can be resolved.
I know you mentioned the desire to have certain conditions placed in the mine
permit. I'm not sure what you had in mind, so I'll leave that to you.
There was an application (NOI) sent to Central Office some time ago (Bethany
originally was working on this one). Not sure if the check was cashed or is being
held or was returned? (Bradley, I guess you'll be checking in to that perhaps).
Steve Durenda (Contractor for Steve Holland whose the mine owner) did not think the
check was cashed but is checking on that for us. If it hasn't been and we can't put
our hands on it, let me know and they'll stop payment on the old check and send a new
one so that we can move along on issuing the COC. The BMP plan will be a work in
progress and Mr. Durenda knows he will be reviewing their work out there on site and
updating their BMPs as necessary. He is also aware I will be making frequent
inspections considering the magnitude of this one.
So it appears we are ready to sign off on the 0 & M plan as you relayed therefore
this will be the official OK from the Wilmington Regional Office SWPS to issue that
COC for the NCG020000.
Any questions for me, give me a shout.

re -
Oh my, I'm so sorry, I actually went out to that site and met with both Steve's
(Holland and Dorenda), I had looked at the 0 & M and felt it was pretty much the same
as what we got from them before with little meat to it and certainly not in a plan
form. I gave him some coaching on how we would hope to see a plan and offered to
locate a plan for him from Martin Marietta's submittal from years ago. . . at least
it's a guide for Mr. Dorenda to follow. I looked at the site in it's entirety and the,
map depicting wetlands is pretty accurate. I think in lieu of my visit with them on
site, we have a little time to have a "talk". I stood Noelle up too, but I think she
was up to her eyeballs today anyway. I'll have some good ideas next week for the 0 &
M comments (taking that stuff home for the weekend) but I need to make some
headway. The permit renewal schedules are killing me. But no excuses. Please
forgive me for standing you up today. . I hope it didn't distress you. I haven't
checked my messages yet today as I'm scrambling to meet some mining comment deadlines
on two other mines that hit my desk this week.
You won't see this till Monday,
sometime the 14th (monday). I
should be in the office some.
so hope you had a good weekend and I'll speak with you
am in the field with Bob Sledge at Cogen Monday but

Let's investigate the option for them to treat that stormwater as wastewater. We
should schedule a conference call with Bob on the topic and discuss this one.
Take Care Bethany,

Yeah, I talked with Bob about that and got the feeling that treating the S/W with
their WW was something they thought could be done effectively_ I'm not sure what
Tom Moore thought.
I am also booked pretty solid through August (vacation next week, and GIS training
the entire last week of Aug), so September will be the earliest chance I'd have,
too. By the way, I started looking at the calendar, and while Christmas is a long
way away —the last window I have to send permits to notice and be able to issue
them before my maternity leave will be late September/early October. At the very
least, I'd like to make sure we get the Port Authority's permit sorted by then.
I'm not sure if we can swing Wright's permit by then, but I'm certainly willing to
try. Otherwise, I won't be able to pick this stuff back up until April, and
depending on our efforts to coordinate with the WW permit, it may have to go to
another staff member in my absence.
Are we still on for 1 PM today to talk about Shelter -Creek?] I looked through the
package earlier this week and am hoping to get Danny's help before this afternoon
as well. Regardless, I'm planning on being available for that discussion.
Talk to you soon,

Bethany, I had given Bob a copy of the spreadsheet showing the outfall data
from Wright's stormwater sampling. I hoped we could get their stormwater
outfalls incorporated in their npdes permit and require treatment of that
"wastewater". I still feel that this site's problems are atrocious compared to
any other permitted site we have. Something needs to be done, and so far BMP's
haven't solved their problems. It doesn't sound like permitting is up to

Hello Brenda,
I beg your pardon Brenda, I am late on commenting on the recent submittal by the
perspective permittee regarding the pump test data (comments were due May 30).. Land
Quality forwarded that package in a timely manner, I've been the hold up. The package
was routed to Aquifer Protection today for their comments. Although one
representative over there felt there wouldn't be many concerns from their point of
view, they still wanted the time to consider the data.
The concerns regarding this mine are mostly where their SWPPP and 0&M plan is
concerned. They are basically non existent. What we have so far is a summary of how
they picture the mine will be operated. Their plans have not been formally written
where we have something to sink our teeth into nor anyone working on site to follow.
We've met on many occasions and have given the permit "boiler plate" language to them
as a guide. I don't believe they understand what the plan is supposed to look like
nor how to adequately address each component of the plans. I have a meeting with
Steve Durendo on June 12 to show him an example of a SWPPP and if needed, discuss each
section of the Plans in as much detail as he needs. Our Wetlands Specialist is more
familiar with what an acceptable 0 & M plan than I and (during one of her initial
meetings) had offered to let the consultant look at a copy of a plan from another mine
site as a guide (which he declined). I have to lean on our Wetlands Specialist since
she is far more knowledgeable about 0 & M plans. We asked the Central Office to hold
off on issuing the general permit until we see a SWPPP and a good operation and
monitoring plan. Without it, there is no guide for anyone working on site to follow.
A 3 day pump test is effective in calculating some of the characteristics of the
aquifer (which is an improvement on the previous calculations where the
characteristics were all assumed). It is a.ways off from demonstrating the effects of
the mining operation to adjacent wetlands, but they are on the right track: I intend
to give them as much feed back as needed to meet our requirements and am glad to do
SO.
I hope this delay in response has not caused you a problem. Should you have any
questions, please don't hesitate to call me. 910-796-7396.

Bethany,
I.believe our discussion on this one should include comments from Noelle Lutheran.
She should be in our meeting on this one. According to her, this site is a ways off
from being able to break ground due to the necessity of their demonstrating 1. what
the effects to adjacent wetlands will be when the hole is cut and 2. how to ensure the
wetlands will remain hydrated through their dewatering system. As I've been told, the
information provided is a long ways from what was expected. Noelle feels they need to
hire a firm (such as Martin Marietta) to conduct studies and prepare documents that
provide enough evidence that these two issues will be taken care of.
I think for the size of the mine and the area of potential impact, a one page
calculation based on a 3 day pump test is not what we are looking for to satisfy
number 1.
Also, let me say, the staff report I sent up for the Moorehead Port site. . . hold off
on issuing. Ed Beck had a conversation with Layton eedsole on the PCS site, he (Ed)
thought that Layton was ok with keeping that site on their permit and under their
helm. He in fact wasn't and is still requesting that we break out that site from
thier permit. Do you know of any regulations that really give us the right to impose
a stormwater permit on PCS as a stand alone?? I will search the SIC codes versus our
reps to see if they would be covered by a general. I suppose the analytical from the
stormwater runoff from the PCS site might allow us the right to impose an individual
stormwater permit based on the level of contamination (COD) etc. we see in their point
source discharges. Any thoughts on the matter??

Hi Linda,
We got this application for a mining general permit in -our office, and it's been
assigned to me. I read your review (thanks for putting together the memo on it, by
the way) and had a chance to look through the submittal, so I'm in the process of
writing an (extensive) add. info. letter to the applicant. I haven't reviewed a
whole lot: of mining permit apes, and none where we've had to .deal with wetlands
issues, so this will be a learning experience for me. I'll probably give you a
call soon to talk a. little more about it - I want to make sure I'm asking for the
right things and know what we should expect/deem acceptable in return.
Thanks,

Subject: Shelter Creek Quarry LLC
Attached is an NOI and check for $80.00. The application was received into
the Wilmington Regional Office on April 17, 2006. The application indicates
the facility has developed a stormwater pollution prevention plan. The
narrative states BMPs are incorporated into the mining plan. The SWPS has
not seen a copy of the mining plan.
The application indicates 3 discharge points. The narrative indicates the
adjacent and isolated wetlands will be protected by the use of ponds, water
canons and a level spreader, however there are no calculations or models to
support this claim. Maintenance areas are not identified on the map. Bulk
fuel storage areas are not indicated on the site map. Analytical monitoring
requirements as defined by the N00020000 permit do not appear to be well
understood according to the narrative. The 72.5 acre mining site is estimated
to produce 250,000 gallons per day. There are no calculations provided to
support that estimate. The application indicates no chemicals will be used for
flocculation, the narrative discusses the potential for chemical additions to
wastewater. The narrative states the level spreader will discharge onto
mineable property and not directly into the wetland. The map indicates the
level spreader will discharge to wetlands. The provided calculation for the
radius of influence around the mining site is based upon a steady state radial
flow equation. Assumptions were used in determining the radius of influence.
No pumping tests have been conducted and there is no data to determine
seasonal changes in the water table relative to the wetlands.
In conclusion, there is very little discussion in the narrative that indicates the

permittee has an understanding of the permit requirements pertaining to the
NCG020000 permit. There is no discussion pertaining to: BMP inspection and
maintenance requirements, sedimentation and erosion control measures, no
preventative maintenance and good housekeeping practices including spill
cleanup or control measures, identification of bulk chemicals or fuels and
location of storage and vehicle maintenance areas, analytical and qualitative
monitoring requirements as identified in NCG020000, groundwater monitoring
strategies to demonstrate the effect of pumping and, as necessary, establish
the pumping regime necessary to reduce impacts, detailed plans to maintain
the surrounding hydrology and the respective monitoring to demonstrate
compliance with 15A NCAC 2B.0231, and no specifics pertaining to the closed
loop process recycle wastewater system.
A plan should be developed that will address these issues before a general
stormwater permit is granted.

SHELTER CREEK QUARRY
Wetland and NPDES Permit Narrative
. Since the initial conception of the Shelter Creek Quarry
Mining Plan, protection of the wetland area on the mining property
was always the top priority and consideration for any and all
designs for mineral removal. Consequently, there were many Best
Management Practices (BMPS)' incorporated into the mining plan.
As we know, normally most mines have a single collection point
for storm water, with a single discharge point into nearby surface
waters. This plan uses (3) separate ponds for water collection and
final discharge. Also, other significant (BMP'S) are as follows:
1. Blasting will occur during the initial sinking cut. After
the face is exposed, a large 1.80,000 lb. excavator will
be used to dig the rock without further blasting if
possible.
2. All exposed land free of overburden will allow water to
be guided and collected in the main sump area.
3. Stored overburden will be encircled with silt fences as
depicted on the mining plan.
4. At overburden removal areas, silt fences will be
provided to prevent runoff onto mineable rock.
5. All storm water will go to (3) separate collection ponds
before discharge by the level spreader. Ponds will be
cleaned before storage capacity is reduced by 50%.

As we know, normally most mines have a single collection point

• 8. Bulk fuel will be ,contained a manner specified by
Federal and State law.
9. A pond capable -of containing a 25 year 24 hour storm
is projected to be built and contain the level spreader.
This water will be able to be monitored for color, foam,
,1-

outfall staining, visible sheen and dry weather flow
although it is not required.
10. Analytical monitoring will be conducted at least
quarterly from land disturbance and process areas as
well as for on -site vehicle maintenance at the storm
water discharge outfall. (Pond with level spreader)
11. Any material wash water ponds that are used will be
closed circuited so that the wash water will not leave
the property. See mining plan for pond construction
data.
By using a final large collection pond with a level spreader,
the water is designed to discharge at a uniform slow rate onto mine
property without leaving the property directly to surface waters.
This mining plan allows all discharge water to migrate at a slow
rate to and through a huge wetland of over 100 acres. For every 12
square feet of wetland, l gallon of water will be dispersed.
As one peruses the 72.5 acre mining plan that has been
submitted, an initial sinking cut is made once overburden has been
removed. This cut will be 70 feet below the top of the rock layer at
the corner of the entrance road on the western side. This initial.
opening will have a 100' x 300'x 20' deep collection point below
the 50' of mineable rock. Thus, all water from the mining
operation is designed to collect in this area for further pumping in
order to keep the pit dry. It is important to understand that this
collection area will have a floating pump station with a 1400
gallon per minute pump that will be located thereon. This pump
will only pump water from the top 12 inches of the stored water,
and will be controlled by mercury switches to run in an automatic
manner during normal climatic conditions. Because the 72.5 acre
mining plan has been reduced dramatically from the original 192
acre plan, it is reasonable to assume that the aquifer that would
have been produced by open pit mining has been dramatically
reduced from a projected 500,000 gallons per day discharge to
250,000 gallons per day. Secondly, the area to be mined to the
-2-

t
west of the depicted road that separates the mineable area has a 7-9
year quantity of mineable reserves. Once those reserves are mined,
this area will be ready for reclamation, and will remain flooded.
Consequently, after this short period of time, all concerns of
dewatering this acreage can be immediately diminished.
The initial pump station has several unique features that need
to be addressed:
1. This collection point in the quarry allows for solids to
settle for the first time, and also help calm the turbidity.
2. It provides for oxidation while being stored.
3. It is an excellent area to add any chemicals that need to be
added as necessary from information collected at pre -
positioned monitoring wells.
4. Finally, it acts as .a large collection area for inclimate
weather storm water, since the pump station can be turned
off, ,and not be adversely affected because it will be
floating at all times.
Once- this water leaves the pit area, it is pumped to a horseshoe
collection pond. This area is large enough to provide the following:
1. Additional settling area is provided for solids. .
2. Further oxidation will occur because this pond will be
directly exposed to sunlight and wind. All of this water is
above pit level and at ground level.
3. A floating pump station will be located at this pond also,
and only the top 12 inches will be pumped at any time.
4. It also provides an area for the addition of chemical
additives.if necessary before the water is transferred to the
level spreader pond.
Finally, the water from the horse shoe pond is pumped to the
furthest end of the last pond away from the level spreader. This
level spreader has several very unique features:
1. It further allows for more oxidation and settling of any
solids.
-3-

2. Since the open pit pond and horse shoe pond have the
same pump capacity, they can be. automatically set to
discharge water every 15 minutes of a given hour. As an
example, when there is 15 minutes of pumping, 21,000
gallons of water will be sent to the final discharge ' pond
with the level spreader. Thus after, a 12 hour period,
250,000+ gallons will have been pumped. The wetlands
would only receive 21,000 gallons 'per hour and 45
minutes per hour with no discharge. With this plan, the
wetland will have 45 minutes of lull time for the first 12
hours. and then zero discharge for the next 12 hours. This
is just one example on how the water can be timed through
the automation feature of the pump stations. Ultimately
there will be 1 gallon of water dispersed through 12 square
feet of wetland every 24 hours. There are many scenarios
of pumping time that can be studied and evaluated in order
to find the best combination.
3. The discharge point of the level spreader is in the
northwestern most part of the wetland and the natural
discharge point of the wetland is in the southeastern most
part of the wetland. Natural elevation changes allow this
water to move form the northwest to the southeast.
4. The .level spreader discharges water onto muieable
property and not directly into the wetland!
5. It provides a third point for chemical additives in order to
make minor adjustments if deemed necessary.
6. The level spreader system does not, allow water to be
discharged into any surface water directly.
7. As the water leaves the level spreader, turbidity, solids,
and oxidation issues will have been resolved.
It is also necessary to discuss the isolated wetlands
surrounding the mineable property. As the cone of depletion
statistics show, there will be a migration of water to the initial
collection pit shown in the mining map. What is also shown, are
IME

i
shallow monitoring wells at key isolated wetlands depicted on the
map. At each wetland area, water cannons will be propositioned
that can send water high into the air that can cover a 200' circle in
that particular wetland. Thus a uniform dispersion of water can be
added to the wetland and systematically be monitored by the wells.
A visual inspection from the state and federal personnel will show
that this technique will keep these areas pristine! The horse shoe
pond can provide large quantities of water to the pre -positioned
ponds near the wetlands, and the ponds will always contain enough
water to disperse to the wetlands via their own pumps.. The water
cannons will do an excellent job of water dispersion rather than
single point discharge into a ditch or low area.
The western and northern boundaries of the mineable land
bring up additional issues of dewatering. As it was mentioned
earlier, the cone of depletion from the initial quarry pond covers an
1800' area. The western boundary of the mining plan that adjoins
state gamelands is not affected because it is further than 1800'. It is
interesting to note that the gamelands have an average nominal 4
meter elevation. The Shelter Creek Quarry mining property is 1-2
meters higher so there is higher ground in the mineable area. Since
the northwest corner of the mineable property has isolated :
wetlands with monitoring wells and ponds with water cannons,
excess water in these areas, will tend to migrate by hydrostatic
pressure and elevation to the gameland area. A contour map study
shows wetlands on this gameland property to be several thousand
feet to the south and west of the 72.5 acre mining map. There is no
reasonable concern for this adjoining property since 'it is not going
to, be affected.
The northern boundary of the mine which is separated by
Route 53 has additional gameland owned by the state or designated
by the Nature Conservatory when funds are available to become
state gamelands. Although this property lies in the cone of
depletion, a recent discussion with state Biologist Mr. Vick French
concluded that all of the property near the mine site naturally
drains to the west north west or. east north east at the present time.
- 5 -

When the property was first purchased by Weyerhaeuser, deep
ditches were cut in order to grow trees. These ditches did drain
wetlands, but because they were cut so deep, the land did not
produce good tree growth. Ultimately the property was sold to
International Paper and then to the Nature Conservatory Group.
The large wetland to the north and west of the mineable property is
known as Angola Swamp and is over 8000 feet from the property.
This wetland drains into the North East Cape Fear River. The other
wetlands to the east northeast of the property are found south of the
town of Maple Hill and are over 12,000 feet away.
The cone of depletion will not affect any of these wetlands
and -a monitoring well has been proposed to be put onto the
property, if deemed necessary. Also, Shelter Creek Mining will
have millions of yards of overburden, and. would be willing to
close off the open ditches nearby that are on the state property in
the . 1800' semicircle found in the cone of depletion. It must be
remembered, that the total 72.5 acres will be mined out in 12-14
years and then becomes 2 large lakes. The cone of depletion will
not be an issue after that time. If a monitoring well is allowed on
the state property as depicted on the map, Shelter Creek Quarry
can take whatever corrective action is deemed necessary to keep
the woodlands pristine.
. In summary, the author of this mining plan wishes to invite
the attention of the readers of this plan to the following:
I. The construction of three discharge ponds provides the
necessary wherewithal to maintain adjoining wetlands in a
pristine condition without. discharging into any surface
water directly. The level spreader in the final pond will
accomplish this feat!
2. The isolated wetlands will also be maintained in a pristine
fashion by water cannons and ponds.
3. Neighbor's property to the west and north of the mineable
property will not be severely affected because of the
aforementioned reasons already discussed.

Dear Mr. Bennett,
MAY - ! ,
I 2014
I am enclosing the first quarter 2014 water discharge report. 1 have included the
analytical data from the Environmental Chemists for this quarter which shows we
are well within limits of the published NC State guidelines for discharged water.
My superintendent, Thomas Koonce, and I continue to check for sink holes daily,
but have not found any along Highway 53 or nearby NC State game lands that
adjoin our mining property.
Please call me should you have any questions pertaining to this submitted report.
Respectfully submitted,
Bryan Ellis

Subject: O & M Plan
Shelter Creek Quarry Site
Alan W. Klimck, 11 E. Directni
Division Of «'01C1'Qunlit%'
The Division received and reviewed the O & M plan for the proposed limestone quarry known as Shelter
Creek Quarry Site. The O & M plan satisfies the itemized list of issues identified in the correspondence sent on
June 12, 2006 from Mrs. Bethany Georgoulias (Environmental Engineer in the General Permitting Unit).
Ms, Angie Pennock (Senior Consultant) with Southern Environmental Group, Inc. was asked to include
the following in the O & M Plan:
Dewatering will cease if immediate, effective measures are unsuccessful in resolving any
notable wetland impacts and will resume upon Authorization by the Division.
Should any chemicak additions be deemed necessary to improve the quality of the
wastewater, both the chemicals and the delivery system will require prior approval by the
Division of Water Quality before implementation.
If effluent Iimitat4ons are exceeded, immediate notification to the W ilmington Regionaf Office
Surface Water Protection Section is required. The discharge will be discontinued until the
exceedance can be resolved.
Ms. Judy Wehner was notified that the O & M plan was approved by the regional office. Ms. Wehner was
asked to include the following in the language of the mining permit (where appropriate):
No unauthorized impacts to wetlands can occur. Mine dewatering will cease if immediate and
effective measures are unsuccessful in resolving the impacts. Dewatering can only resume
when authorized by the Division of Water Quality.
A finalized O & M plan must be received and the measures identified within the plan
implemented before dewatering activities can occur.
An email was sent to Bradley Bennett (Supervisor for the NPDES Stormwater Permitting Unit) to inform
them that the O & M plan was approved by the region and that the NFIDES NCG020000 Certificate of Coverage
could be issued at will.

Summary
This facility submitted a Notice of Intent to be covered under General Permit NCG02_0000 (Mining).
The stormwater and wastewater will discharge to surrounding wetlands and intoo Holly
Shelter Creek (Class C-Sw), in the Cape Fear River Basin. This facility is located in Pender
County, handled by the Wilmington Regional Office.
Application review
a) The permit application has been signed and sufficiently completed. Yes.
b) The SIC code accurately describes this facility's activities and is covered by this general
permit. Yes, SIC 14xx (Mining and Quarrying Non-metallic minerals). Probably
1422 if mostly mar[ and limestone mining (some sand noted as well).
c) Does this facility have other permits? No. Mining Permit from DLR pending.
d) Hazardous Waste Activities? No.
e) DLR Mining Permit status requested: Date here
f) Regional Office input requested: 6/1/2006 (WaRO contact L. Willis originally reviewed
package; consulted for add. info. Letter on 6/1).
RO Approval received: Feb 19, 2007
g) Is an ATC Required? No. Limestone, marl, and sand mining only.
h) Application approved? Add. info pending. Received July 2007, more correspondence

i) Special Notes: None
Phone logs
- "Talked with Judy Wenner (DLR) — N41i uig permit issued 2/26/07.
- 2/27/07 — Talked with Linda Willis (WiRO) about process. Need to add some additional
language to cover letter, but most information already in the permit and approved O&M plan.
WiRO will track progress closely as some information in plan is difficult to completely show
through calculations/models and will just have to be reviewed.
Review of Submittal
Add Info requested June 12, 2006 and received July 23, 2006.- Applicant worked directly with
Regional Office (Linda Willis) on development/completion of pumping plan, numbers, etc. Plan
approved by WiRO on Feb 19, 2007 with some language added to the final plan.

I talked with Judy (DLR) yesterday and they also want to look at the pumping plan.
They will probably request a copy from the applicant. I looked though our file here
and I wasn't sure that we had all of the pieces since they have been working on this
component with the regional office recently. Anyway, we don't issue our permit until
OLR has issued the mwn ng permit. For this one we are planning on issuance at around
the same time. I'm not clear at this point what DLR's timeframe looks like. I would
guess the meeting you mentioned in Raleigh today is with the DLR staff.
Thanks for all of your efforts on this one.

Hello Bradley,
Just wanted to give you heads up that I put it in writing that we (WiRO) are
satisfied with the 0 & M plan submitted by Southern
Environmental Group, Inc. (see attached) The plan looks to cover all the areas of
concern that we had'relayed in a letter by Bethany in June of 2006. As you may
know, the 0 & M really hinged on a couple things that was unclear early on, and
that was the cone of depletion that the mine dewatering activities might create,the
identification of wetlands on and off site that are within the cone of depletion
that could be impacted, and whether the estimation of the volume of water from mine
dewatering was accurate or at least reasonable. The Water Resources
representative, Nat Wilson agreed to a cone of depletion of 6200'. DWQ (WiRO) felt
if they (being the gurus) agreed to a cone of depletion value, we would buy into it
as well. S E G I also included a wildlife and plant survey by Adrian L. Moon, that
survey was sent to Pete Benjamin (Ecological Services Supervisor) Fish and Wildlife
Service.
The questions relating to whether the dewatering activities will adversely impact
wetlands will have to be demonstrated. I relayed to Mr. Dorenda, the discharges
and the health of the wetlands will be looked at closely as the mining activities
progress. Should any discharges from the mine or dewatering activities impact
surface waters (including the wetlands), the dewatering operations will cease
immediately if an immediate and effective remedy to the problem is not implemented.
Wildlife Resources Commission (Steven Everhart) wanted to ensure that Holly Shelter
Creek would not be impacted by the dewatering process. Based on their letter dated
Feb 7, 2006, they wanted information on baseflow, temperature, water chemistry, pH,
and phosphorus levels. That information was not included in our 0 & M, we didn't
ask for that information, but the system is not meant to discharge directly to
Shelter Creek via any un-named trios or channelizing of water. The discharge
should infiltrate before making it to the creek. If it doesn't, they will have to
change their pumping plan so that infiltration does occur, otherwise, they would
still need to address this concern from the WRC_
I understand Mr_ Dorenda and Steve Holland are making a trip to Raleigh tomorrow_'
No clue what or who they will be speaking with. I tried to relay to Mr. Dorenda
that the issuance of the NPDES permit and our signing off on the 0 & M plan meets
our requirements, we can't speak for the rest of those entities who have concerns.
Thanks, sorry for the long winded e mail, but thought it best to get all up to
speed on where we stand on our end.
