Hi Kim,
Thank you again for the delineation. I was doing a final review of your permit application and I just had
a few more questions. I wanted to be sure I addressed all the potential questions anyone might ask about
your permit application. All of this information can be emailed to me.
I . What is the max. dewatering rate that you plan for this site?
2. What kind of information do you have, or have calculations that show you will meet effluent limits?
Please provide your calculations for these including sediment pond size and settling time equations.
3. Outfalls:
a) How many outfalls do you have? Because there are so many existing ditches it appears you could
have as many as 9 outfalls. Please describe how many you have (and number) and describe whal runoff
and/or wastewater will be coming fi-om each ou(all.
b) Please provide a map showing numbered outfalls. You can email me a pdf of your site map with
numbered outfalls if you have one.
4. What is the volume/rate will you be spraying sand piles to control dust and what is the amount of
anticipated runoff from this?
5. There are no topolines on your site map.
a) Are there any or is it completely flat? If there are any please provide. You can combine this with
the map in #3 above if you choose to.
6. Is there a berm around the road? Where is the runoff from the road being directed? Some appears to
be draining out to existing ditches.
7. What is your sediment clean -out schedule? Please provide for the pond and the check dam. How and
how often will the check dam be cleaned out?
I assume you already have the answers to most, if not all of these questions from your DLR application.
Please provide these answers in 2 weeks - by Monday July 7th.
If you have any other questions or concerns please let me know as soon as possible.
Thank you,
Jennifer Jones

2) SA and WS Waters:
a. Notify the following people at the same time as contacting the region.
i. SA (shellfish) Waters: Shellfish Sanitation (See Table 6 for a list
of contacts)
ii. WS (water supply) Waters: DEH (See Table 5 for a list of

it. Some HQWs are also Primary Nursery Areas (PNAs). This

in B1MS. Maps are available for these areas
http://www.nedmf.tiet/maps/FNA_maps/. Unlike trout waters.
which are also often classified as HQW and have specific TSS
limits in the mining permit, PNA is not adequately protected in the
current permit text for mining. (Ready mix does not have specific
TSS limits for trout or PNA waters). (See 1 5A NCAC 02B .0224
High Quality Waters (1)(b)(ii)). Ultimately, the permit will need
Ao be revised to protect PNA waters (and the ready mix permit will
also need to protect trout). The current process is to attach a
supplement sheet for these waters to the permit.
iii. See Appendix J for the PNA supplement sheet and Appendix: C for
cover letter language.
iv. The supplement references the 7Q10 flow. 7Q10 can not be
calculated for tidal waters. There is not a G1S layer for tidally

influenced areas. This information is detennined from local
knowledge. Contact the Region to determine if this is a tidally -
influenced area.
1. Not tidally influenced:, Contact USGS (J. "Curtis" Weaver,
[e-mail] or 571.4043) to determine what this
flow is. Be sure to provide him with a map of where the
discharge will enter the surface water. Reference this flow
in the cover letter of the permit. An example cover letter is
included in "Guidance" folder on the share drive.
2. "Tidally influenced or unknown: If the area is tidally -
influenced then a 7Q 10 flow can not be established.
Therefore, a flow can not be referenced in the cover letter
or the permit supplement.
TC (Authorization to Construct):
L--� a. The applicant will need an ATC if they are building a wastewater
treatment facility for these types of applications.
i. See the NCG02 and N05`1-4 technical requirements for
information on whether or not the facility needs and ATC.
ii. The NOI for NCG 02 and NCG 14 includes the ATC application
(it is automatic).
b. See NCG 02 and NCG I4 permits for more details about when ATCs are
needed.
i. NCG 02: The technical bulletin has a list of when they are needed.

iv. We may send an acknowledgement letter to NCG 02 applicants
explaining that the storn-iwater/wastewater permit cannot be issued
prior to the Mining Permit (some applicants are aware of this
already, though).
v. The applicant receives approval of their E&SC Plan from DLR.
Upon issuance of DLR approval or Mining Permit, the applicant is
also covered under NCG 01, Construction Activities, at no

point). If a particle size distribution is provided, check to
see the relative volumes of particle sizes that are expected.

d. Particles will settle out if the settling time is less than the detention time.
This is a fairly basic way of calculating this. You may also see
calculations involving the critical velocity, etc. These are more advanced
ways of determining if sediment will re -mobilize. The method presented
here is a good basic review method.
9) Estimates of related variables from past submissions:
a. Wash water produced (no recycle): 15 gal/yd3 cement produced
b. Batch plant daily capacity: 2,000 yd3
c. Dum� truck bed wash out: 130 lb concrete for each 10-yd3 load, or 13
lb/yd of load.
10) Containing Design Storm: In some cases, engineers must show that they will be
ab e o contain the =sign storm (See Appendix F for city -specific data). The
BMP manual uses Schueler's Simple Method. This is an alternate method. Do
not coy curve numbers (do not area -weight them) in the following r'
calculations:
a. Runoff Volume: Secondary containment may have to control a certain
design storm plus the wastewater. The design storm volume that they
must contain is found from the following calculations:
b. Curve Number, CN: This is specific to soil type and land use. Typically,
for mining and ready mix, engineers should use a high CN. Others are
presented here so that we will be aware of when engineers are under-
estimatinu runoff.

l . Verify with latest permit tent
2. ALL wastewater plans MUST be stamped by a PE
3. Must have a DLR ER.SC permit if greater than 1 acre. See the Ready Mix and
Mining Considerations section.
4. Volume control requirements:
a. Recycle:
i. General:
1. Secondary Containment: Must have containment for
largest tail: in the recycle system (page 2 of 11). No
outflowat 25-year, 24-hour storm from wastewater outfalls
(definition of "secondary containment" page 17 of 19).
2. Guidance Note: Ready mix often finds ways to "recycle"
water from truck washing or other water generated onsite to
be used in the concrete generation process. We allow them
to reuse the water by either putting it directly into the
process or by spraying the area to be poured. We consider
spraying the water as part of the process and not a
discharge.
3. Drum washout water as the only wastewater "permitted by
rule" 15A NCAC 02T .1003: The Land Application Unit is
the contact for this. If the only wastewater is drum washout
(no outside of truck washing, no aggregate pile runoff, etc).
and it is recycled in a concrete structure (not earthen)
system designed for the 25-year storm plus a foot of
freeboard, then the system may be "permitted by rule."
Guidance Note:.For any site that must apply for
NCG 140000 for stormwater discharge, we will do a
technical review of the recycle system to ensure it complies
with those requirements —regardless of whether it may be
permitted by rule. 02T .1003 (a) (2) requires the operator
to notify the regional office in writing that the design
complies with the criteria. Either the region or central
office should do a technical review to verify this is the case.
We will assume an ATC and permit is necessary until a
technical review confirms otherwise. Even then, in most
cases it is in the operators best interest to include they
system under NCG 14.
4. pH Adjustment: Depending on the system design. may still
need to require pH adjustment. Guidance Note: In the
case of a well -designed recycle system that can contain the
25-year storm and freeboard, the reviewer may determine
the additional foot of freeboard is sufficient to preclude the
need for a pH -adjustment method. The reviewer should use
BPJ, based on how soon the operation can recover its
freeboard between rain events, the structure of the system
(concrete, not earthen). etc.

ii. Stormwater + wastewater co -mingled: They are not required to
contain a specific storm unless the wastewater and stormwater is
being co -mingled and recycled. (Note: They don't have to
monitor if they can hold the 10-year storm.) They have to show
that either:
I . Design can contain the 25-year storm, and reclaim the
water within — 3 days (number of days not specified in the
permit), and also have l ft freeboard with the calculated
design storage. Or,
2. Guidance Note: if the recycle system is designed to hold
25-year storm with a foot of freeboard, but it is earthen
rather than concrete, should require applicant to
demonstrate how system will protect against groundwater
contamination. A design that is essentially "a big pit in the
ground" is something that might be considered a "non -
discharging system" and that the Aquifer Protection
Section would review differently (i.e., impose different
design requirements). Even though we're permitting it
under a discharge permit, the reviewer should consider how
a system that may infiltrate a portion of the wastewater
could affect groundwater. May need to consult more with
AP.
3. Design meets the effluent requirements of the permit. This
can be done with Stokes Law, but the first option is more
common. The pennit text can be found at.
a. Permit page 7 of 11: "For facilities which route
stonnwater and all process wastewater to a recycle
system, no analytical monitoring of process
wastewater is required if that recycle system
discharges only as a result of the 10-year 24-hour
precipitation event."
b. Application, page 3: For recycle systems, the
applicant must show that the facility will comply
with pennit effluent limits, "or must demonstrate
that the recycle system has sufficient capacity to
contain runoff from a 25-year, 24-hour rainfall
event plus one foot of freeboard under design
operating conditions." See Guidance Note in 2.
abrwe.
iii. Stormwater only: The design would not "recycle" stormwater
only.
b. No recycle:
i. General:
1. Analytical monitoring: No "out" for monitoring, even at a
large design storm. Must show that they can comply with
the required analytical limits in the pennit.

2. Secondary Containment: Sediment basins are not
considered "tanks" and do not require secondary
containment of the 25-year storm.
ii. Stormwater + wastewater co -mingled: (Sedimentation basin for
treatment). Then, they have to show that design meets the effluent
requirements of the permit. No design storm specified in the
permit. Rule of thumb in the office is to contain at least the 10-
year storm.
Stormwater only: Not required to contain the stormwater. Need to
show where the outfall(s) is, AND that the stormwater flowing
offsite is not mixed with wastewater.
5. Wastewater:
a. Wastewater is associated with four types of activities:
i. Vehicle and equipment clean -out (under the silo, etc)
ii. Recycle stream overflow (tank can contain the volume of the
recycle AND the stormwater falling into the drainage area at the
same tune.)
iii. Raw material stockpiles (berms or other containment devices to
contain the storm; may have void space in the raw material as part
-q of the volume. Also, note that ready mix facilities have to
Awe/ maintain temperature and moisture content of these materials. To
do so they either rely on irrigation or rainwater. Check to see what
is going on at the facility.)
iv. Mixing drum (or truck bed) clean -out
b. Batch processes technically represent a different process than ready mix.
However, both are covered under NCG 14 because they are similar. Batch
processes are generally not permanent fixtures.
c. Aggregate Piles: Runoff from these piles is usually considered
tii)osterrater, and the ability to meet limits should be justified. The only
exception is when these piles are NEVER irrigated (we think this is rare,
so make sure) and only rainfall contacts them. Then the runoff may be
considered stormwater. Rationale: In 40 Cl{R S 122,26, the definition of
"stormwater associated with an industrial activity" includes stormwater
discharges from "storage areas for raw materials." Sand and aggregate
piles here could be considered storage areas. Also, washed stone runoff is
different than raw material stockpile stormwater runoff at cement
manufacturers, regulated by effluent guidelines in 40 CFR §411. That
runoff contacts limestone, chalk, shale (aluminum and silica source), and
iron ore piles —materials that result in high pH or other concentrated
contaminants. Because the regulations don't specifically address ready -
mix concrete stockpile stormwater runoff; because NCG 14 only specifies
stockpile irrigation runoff as wastewater; and because the runoff from
washed stone is significantly less contaminated than that in the cement
industry, we don't have to consider aggregate pile stormwater runoff as
wastewater. In these cases, the COC should be written to exclude
7( allowance to discharge that type of wastewater. (...hereby authorized

to discharge process wastewater (excluding discharge from the wetting of
raw material stockpiles) and...
d. Some applications will have pH adjusters. Though this is technically a
wastewater treatment method we permit those adjusters because it is better
that they treat it than if they don't. If we didn't permit them, then high -pH
water would enter the stream.
6. Site Plan must:
a. Show outline of contributing drainage area.
b. Show the location of any tanks for recycle systems
c. Show stormwater and wastewater discharge points
d. Show conveyance features (ditches, swales, etc)
e. Show impervious areas (the specific dimensions are preferred, but this is
not on the NOI checklist.)
f. Show graphic notation (highlighters are not acceptable)
g. Be signed/stamped by a PE. All drawings; including altered standard
drawings. must be signed, stamped, and dated and must also indicate a
revision date if the drawing is a revision. The Professional Engineer of
responsible charge for this design must show that he has approved the
submitted drawings for use in the submitted design.

Permit No. NCG020000
PART II AUTHORIZATION TO CONSTRUCT AND OPERATE A
TREATMENT FACILITY
Mining operations which involve construction and operation of treatment facilities for mine
dewatering wastewater or process wastewater (such as saw water, wash water, etc.) are subject
to construction and operation requirements for these facilities as outlined in Section A and
Section B below.
SECTION A: REQUIREMENTS TO CONSTRUCT NEW OR EXPANDING
TREATMENT FACILITIES
All new or expanding treatment facilities must receive an Authorization to Construct (A
to C) from DWQ.
Application for the A to C requires that plans and specifications be submitted to the
Division of Water Quality, Stormwater Permitting Unit, 1617 Mail Service Center,
Raleigh, NC 27699-1617 for approval.
Upon approval of the plans and specifications by the Division, a set of approved plans
and specifications for the subject project will be returned to the permittee. These plans
must be retained by the permittee for the life of the treatment facility.
4. Upon receipt of an approved A to C, the approved treatment facilities shall be constructed
in accordance with the conditions of this permit, the approved plans and specifications,
and other supporting data. The treatment facilities shall be constructed to meet the
effluent limitations in Part 111, Section C of this general permit.
5. Upon completion of construction and prior to operation of a permitted facility, a
ccrtification of plans and specifications must be received from a professional engineer in
accordance with G.S. 89-25 certifying that the permitted facility has been installed in
accordance with this permit, the approved plans and specifications, and other supporting
materials. Mail the Certification of plans and specifications to the Division of Water
Quality, Stormwater Permitting Unit, 1617 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC 27699-
1617.
6. The DWQ Regional Office shall be notified at least forty-eight (48) hours in advance of
operation of the installed facilities so that an in place inspection can be made if the
Regional Office so desires. Such notification to the regional supervisor shall be made
during normal business hours from 8:00 a.m, until 5:00 p.m. on Monday through Friday,
excluding State Holidays.
Part II Page I of 2

Permit No. NCG020000
Existing, new and expanding treatment facilities shall be subject to the following operational
requirements.
SECTION B: REQUIREMENTS FOR OPERATION OF A TREATMENT FACILITY
Operation and maintenance of treatment facilities must be in accordance with the
requirements in this General Permit. For the purposes of this permit no documentation
other than a signed Certificate of Coverage is required to operate an existing treatment
facility. New facilities must also have an Authorization to Construct permit.
2. Diversion or bypass of untreated wastewater from a treatment facility is prohibited except
under provisions of this permit in Part N, Section C.3.
3. In the event that a facility fails to perform satisfactorily, including the creation of
nuisance conditions, the permittee shall take immediate corrective action, including those
actions that may be required by this Division, such as the construction of additional or
replacement treatment or disposal facilities.
4. The issuance of this permit shall not relieve the permittee of the responsibility for
damages to surface waters of the State resulting from the operation of a treatment facility.
Any discharge from a treatment system to groundwater must protect the groundwater
standards specified in 15A NCAC 2L, Groundwater Classification and Standards.
Any groundwater quality.monitoring, as deemed reasonably necessary by the Division,
shall be provided.
No chemical flocculants shall be used in the treatment facility without written
authorization from the Division.
All discharges of mine dewatering wastewater and process wastewater will be monitored
in accordance with Part III, Section C of this permit.
Part II Page 2 of 2

Permit No. NCG020000
PART III MONITORING, CONTROLS, AND LIMITATIONS FOR
PERMITTED DISCHARGES
SECTION A: STORMWATER BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES (BMPS) PLAN
1. The permittee shall implement stormwater BMPs to ensure that contaminants do not enter
surface waters via stormwater that comes in contact with any unstabilized overburden,
raw materials, intermediate products, finished products, byproducts or waste products
located on the site covered by this permit. A BMP Plan shall be developed in accordance
with the requirements of this section. The BMP Plan requirement, or portions of the plan
requirement, may be met by utilizing appropriate requirements in other documented plans
specific to the permitted facility.
2. Management of Stormwater Runoff and Runon. The permittee shall maintain stormwater
BMPs for land disturbance areas and outside process areas. In addition, controls should
be used to limit or isolate selected land disturbance and process areas and limit the
amount of off site stormwater runon to those areas. Appropriate Best Management
Practices (BMPs) should be used to divert, infiltrate, reuse or otherwise manage
stormwater runoff and runon in a manner that reduces pollutants in stormwater
discharges leaving the site. Appropriate BMPs may include but are not limited to:
vegetative swales, berms, use of reclaimed mine areas, and reuse of collected stormwater
(such as for an industrial process or as an irrigation source).
BMP Controls Inspection and Maintenance. All stormwater BMPs shall be inspected by
or under the direction of the permittee at least once every seven calendar days and within
24 hours after any storm event that results in a discharge. The BMPs implemented shall
be operated and maintained so that they are cleaned out when the sediment storage
capacity has been reduced by 50%. If any visible sedimentation is leaving the property,
corrective action shall be taken to reduce the discharge of sediments. Visible
sedimentation found offsite shall be recorded with a brief explanation as to the measures
taken to prevent future releases as well as any measures taken to remove the sediment that
left the site. All other stormwater specific controls (e.g. oil /water separators) shall be
inspected and qualitatively monitored (as per Part III.B.3) on a semiannual schedule, once
in the fall (September -November) and once during the spring (April -June). A log of
sampling data and of activities taken to implement BMPs associated with the vehicle
maintenance activities shall be maintained and incorporated into the BMP Plan and kept
onsite for the duration of the permit term and made available to the Director upon request.
4. Erosion and Sedimentation Control. The permittee shall implement the management
practices and the erosion and sedimentation control measures that are included in the
mining permit or erosion and sedimentation control permit issued by the Division of Land
Resources. Compliance with the issued permit is considered a requirement of this
general permit. Any deviation from the issued permit, or amendments to the' issued
permit, that impacts water qualitX shall constitute a violation of the terms and conditions
of this general permit. A signed copy of the issued permit including the approved erosion
and sedimentation control measures and the reclamation plan shall be maintained on the
site at all times. Once an area is released by the Division of Land Resources in
Part III Page I of 9

Permit No. NCG020000
accordance with NCGS Chapter 74, Article 7, it shall no longer be subject to this general
permit.
S. Preventive Maintenance Inspections and Good Housekeeping Practices. Equipment
utilized during mining activity on a site must be operated and maintained in such a
manner as to prevent potential or actual pollution of the surface water or ground waters of
the state. Fuels, lubricants, coolants, and hydraulic fluids, or any other petroleum
products, shall not be discharged on the ground or into surface waters. Spent fluids shall
be disposed of in a manner so as not to enter the surface waters or ground waters of the
state and in accordance with applicable federal disposal regulations. Any spilled fluids
shall be cleaned up to the maximum extent practicable and disposed of in a manner that
does not allow their entry into the surface waters or ground waters of the state.
6. Secondary Containment. The permittee shall provide secondary containment for bulk
storage of liquid materials, storage of Section 313 of Title III of the Superfund
Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA) water priority chemicals, or storage of
hazardous liquids substances to prevent leaks and spills from contaminating stormwater
runoff. If the secondary containment devices are connected directly to stormwater
conveyance systems, the connection shall be controlled by manually activated valves or
other similar devices (which shall be secured with a locking mechanism) and any
stormwater that accumulates in the containment area shall be at a minimum visually
observed for color, foam, outfall staining, visible sheens and dry weather flow, prior to
release of the accumulated stormwater. Accumulated stormwater shall be released if
found to be uncontaminated by the material stored within the containment area.
SECTION B: ANALYTICAL AND QUALITATIVE MONITORING REQUIREMENTS
FOR DISCHARGES COMPOSED ENTIRELY OF STORMWATER
Analytical monitoring for stormwater discharges shall be performed for parameters as specified
in Tables I through 4. All analytical monitoring shall be performed during a representative storm
event as defined in Part VII. For each parameter, the arithmetic mean of all analytical sampling
results collected during the term of the permit may be calculated for each individual outfall and
compared to the cut-off concentrations listed in Tables 2 and 4. If the arithmetic mean is less
than the specified cut-off concentration for a given parameter, the facility is not required to
continue annual monitoring for that parameter (at that outfall) until the last year of the permit
unless a significant change in facility operations or configuration occurs. If a cut-off
concentration results in discontinued analytical monitoring at an individual discharge outfall, the
permittee is required to maintain facility operations that ensure the continuation of stormwater
runoff quality. The ermittee must perform anal ical sampling during the first and last year of
the permit term regardless of cut-off concentration conditions.
In situations where stormwater runoff is controlled by some type basin or retention/detention
pond, the following provisions are applicable for sample collection for analytical monitoring:
• Analytical monitoring for stormwater discharges from a basin or other similar control
structures must be performed within the first 30 minutes of discharge.
Part III Page 2 of 9

Permit No. NCG020000
Analytical monitoring for a basin /pond designed to contain the 10-year design storm (see
Part VII, Definitions) without discharging is not required. Qualitative monitoring for color,
foam, outfall staining, visible sheen and dry weather flow is the only monitoring requirement.
Analytical and qualitative monitoring are not required for a basin/pond designed to contain
the 25-year, 24-hour storm (see Part VII, Definitions) without discharging. A basin/ pond
meeting this provision is considered a non -discharging stormwater control.
1. Analytical Monitoring for Stormwater Discharges from Land Disturbance and
Process Areas.

Dear Jennifer,
As I have just received a copy of your letter dated March 25, 2008, 1 would like to
request that the deadline of April 2e be extended to June 5, 2008. While I had been
Informed that the Corps would have to review the site to determine the presence or
absence of wetlands, I was not aware of the deadline. We have been working
diligently toward obtaining the proper documentation. Josh Pelletier of the USACOE
has met with wetland consultants on the site and stated that wetlands are not
present. However, he needed a plat to sign. We prepared the survey with the
appropriate Corps certificate and we are waiting for the signed map to be returned. I
have left a message for Mr. Pelletier this morning requesting a timeframe for when
he expects to return the signed map. I will forward a copy to you as soon as it is

Subject: Return of your Application and Notification of fee changes
Dear Mr. Butler:
On July 31, 2007 the North Carolina General Assembly and Governor Easley put into effect a new
budget that included a 20% increase to all fees associated with Division of Water Quality annual
fees, new permit applications, permit modifications, certifications, and project fees. $100 is the
new permit application fee, instead of the former $80 application fee for General Stormwater
permits.
The Division of Water Quality attempts to operate in a fiscally responsible and efficient manner.
This increase represents the first change in fees since 1999 and reflects inflationary pressures over
that time.
As of September 1, 2007, all permit fees collected must meet the legal requirements of these
changes.
To view a copy of these changes, please refer to the following website link:
http://www.ncle;~.neUSessions/2007/Billsll-IOL[se/PDI,'/1-11473vlg.pdf (see Pages 262-265).
Please resubmit your application package with the new fee for $100. Thank you for your
cooperation, and please do not hesitate to call with any questions you may have.
Sincerely,
�'A �[. .

Dear Mr. Harrington:
Michael F. Easley, Governor
William G. Ross Jr., Secretary
The application for a mining permit for the above referenced mine site has been found
to meet the requirements of G.S. 74-51 of The Mining Act of 1971. As we have received the
required security to cover this application, I am enclosing the mining permit.
The conditions of Mining Permit No. 70-32_ were based primarily upon information
supplied in the application with conditions added as necessary to insure compliance with The
Mining Act of 1971. This permit expires on October 10, 2017, G.S. 74-65 states that the
issuance of a mining permit does not supersede or otherwise affect or prevent the
enforcement of any zoning regulation or ordinance duly adopted by an incorporated city or
county or by any agency or department of the State of North Carolina.
As a reminder, your permitted acreage at this site is 36.20 acres and the amount of
land you are approved to disturb is 24.91 acres.
As we have received the S30,000.00 Assignment of Savings Account issued by
Gateway Bank, 1 am returning the $23,700.00 Assignment of Savings Account issued by
Gateway Bank previously submitted with the application.

Judy and Pat,
I realized too late that I needed to send you comments on the above mine. I have
already completed an inspection, but havent gone over the written package. I can
provide that Monday —hopefully that's ok. Im off tomorrow, and its super late
tonite..a long afternoon with Garland Scott of Superior Sand.
The mine is on sand pit road, but unlike the others, it is just a bit down sand pit
road off of Pitt's Chapel.
Currently it is a big ag field, so not much too see. It is possible it will need
some screening from Pitt's Chapel Road —but the area is kinda heavy commercial. The
map appears accurate. I am slightly concerned about the ditch that they will be
using to de water... whether or not it is large enough as well as the tile it will have
to travel through under the road. I realize that's way out of my area but —it just
made me wonder. There are some nearby residences along the opposite side of the
road, but they do have their own veggie barrier ... and they are likely used to the
traffic at least.
If you or Pat need to reach me tomorrow, or if I need to. come in,.please call me on
my cell, 910-389-8408.
Im tired and loopy, it's time to go..
V all have a lovely weekend.
Tks,
Eric

Pasquotank County
Dear Mr. Harrington:
In accordance with your application for a discharge permit received on March 11, 2008,
we are forwarding herewith the subject certificate of coverage to discharge under the subject
state — NPDES general permit. This permit is issued pursuant to the requirements of North
Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and the Memorandum of Agreement between North Carolina
and the US Environmental Protection Agency dated October 15, 2007 (or as subsequently
amended).
Please take notice that this certificate of coverage.is not transferable except after notice to
the Division of Water Quality. The Division of Water Quality may require modification or
revocation and reissuance of the certificate of coverage.
This general permit allows the discharge of stormwater and certain types of wastewater
from your facility. In your application, you specified that only mine dewatering water would be
discharged from this facility. If separate point -source discharges of stormwater occur (i.e.,
stormwater not combined with mine dewatering water), you will be required to adhere to the
conditions in this permit for stormwater discharges. Please note that your permit contains
effluent limits on the discharge from your facility.
In your last submittal, your consultant, Ms. Kimberly Hamby of Hyman-Robey
Consultants, Inc., indicated that your calculations were based on design criteria from the NC
DENR Division of Land Resources Erosion and Sedimentation Control Planning and Design
Manual. In the review of your permit application we noted that although your sediment
basin design calculations are predicated on the presence of a skimmer, no skimmer is
present in the details of your drawings.
This permit does not affect the legal requirements to obtain other permits which may be
required by the Division of Water Quality or permits required by the Division of Land
Resources, Coastal Area Management Act or any other federal or local governmental permit that
may be required.

• Stormwater discharges from mining operations which are intermixed on site with stormwater from asphalt
operations and/or concrete operations;
• Stormwater discharges associated with oil and gas extraction operations; and
• Stormwater discharges associated with tourist gem mines
• NCDOT borrow pits are covered under NCS000150
The following discharges are covered by NPDES general permit NCG520000 instead of NCG020000:
• Point source discharges of stormwater and wastewater from in -stream sand mining operations (i.e., sand
dredging or dipping operations)
For new mining sites that require an authorization to construct (A TC) wastewater treatment facilities: This
NOI is also an APPLICATION FOR an ATC for new wastewater treatment facilities. ATC requests must be
submitted at least 90 days prior to construction'.
For existin mining sites that require an Authorization to Operate (ATO) wastewater treatment facilities:
This NOI is also an APPLICATION FOR an ATO for wastewater treatment facilities in place.
Construction, modification, or installation of any new treatment components at an existing site requires
an ATC. (If the site is already covered by NCG020000, the ATC request may be submitted without an NOI).
Some wastewater treatment facilities used to treat or recce process wastewater (even if commingled
with stormwater) at mining sites will require an ATC prior to construction per 15A NCAC 21-1 .0138.
Please see the NCG020000 General Permit for details about which treatment facilities require an
ATC (summarized in Table 1 at the end of this form). For example, an ATC is required for treatment
of mine dewatering discharge from clay pits and non -closed -loop wastewater recycle systems. The
authorization to construct or continue to operate will be issued at the same time as the Certificate of
Coverage (COC) for the NCG02 permit. Design of treatment facilities must comply with requirements
of 15A NCAC 21-1 .0138 & .0139.

Dear Jennifer,
Per your email dated June 20, 2008 and our subsequent conversations, please
accept my response, a copy of the mining permit application, and two copies of plans
revised to help address your questions. My responses are numbered to correspond
with the numbers of your questions.
1. The maximum dewatering rate for the site will be 360,000 gpd. See 3.c.
on page 7 of the mining permit application.
2. The sediment basin was sized according to Section 6.60 of the Erosion
and Sediment Control Planning and Design Manual. Calculations are
attached.
3. As stated in 8) on page 3 of the NPDES permit application. There will
only be 2 discharge points from the affected area. One will discharge
stormwater from existing ditches that will be rerouted due to construction
of the mine. The other will discharge water from the sediment basin. All
runoff from the haul road will be directed into the excavation. Water will
be removed from the excavation using a pump that will discharge into the
sediment basin. The plans have been modified to help clarify.
4. The rate for spraying the haul road and stock piles will vary as necessary.
All water used for this spraying will be provided by a tank truck with spray
bar and hose attachment. Runoff is not expected as the operator of the
truck will use only enough water to sufficiently control dust.
5. The site is relatively flat. Existing grade contours have been added to the
revised plans enclosed.
6. There is no berm around the haul road. The haul road will be sloped to
drain into the excavation. The plans have been modified for clarification.

7. Sediment cleanout is per the Erosion and Sediment Control Planning and
Design Manual. The detail for the check dam indicates that sediment
shall be removed when it reaches 113 the height of the dam. The detail
for the sediment basin has been modified to indicate that cleanout is
required when the sediment reaches 112 the design depth of the basin.

Hi Kim,
I am sorry to ask more questions but I needed to look over the site plan again when
you turned in the delineation. I looked over the site plan and talked with another
engineer here and Jeff at the regional office and we wanted to make sure we had all
of our questions answered. These questions should not be too difficult to answer -
just some basic questions about your site.
If you need more time please let me know in writing the date you anticipate - an
email would be sufficient.

Dear Mr. Harrington:
Michael F. Easley, Governor
William G. Ross Jr., Secretary
The application for a mining permit for the above referenced mine site has been found
to meet the requirements of G.S. 74-51 of The Mining Act of 1971. As we have received the
required security to cover this application, I am enclosing the mining permit.
The conditions of Mininct Permit No. 70-32 were based primarily upon information
supplied in the application with conditions added as necessary to insure compliance with The
Mining Act of 1971, This permit expires on October 10, 2017. G.S. 74-65 states that the
issuance of a mining permit does not supersede or otherwise affect or prevent the
enforcement of any zoning regulation or ordinance duly adopted by an incorporated city or
county or by any agency or department of the State of North Carolina.
As a reminder, your permitted acreage at this site is 36.20 acres and the amount of
land you are approved to disturb is 24.91 acres.
As we have received the $30,000.00 Assignment of Savings Account issued by
Gateway Bank, I am returning the $23,700.00 Assignment of Savings Account issued by
Gateway Bank previously submitted with the application.

SEEDBED PREPARATION
THE CONTRACTOR SHALL CUT AND DISPOSE OF WEEDS OR OTHER UNACCEPTABLE GROWTH ON THE AREAS
TO BE SEEDED. UNEVEN OR ROUGH AREAS SHALL BE SHAPED AND SMOOTHED TO PROVIDE FOR EFFECTIVE
SEEDING AND EASE OF MOWING. THE SOIL SHALL BE SCARIFIED TO A DEPTH OF NOT LESS THAN 5 INCHES.
CLODS SHALL BE BROKEN AND THE TOP 3-4 INCHES OF THE SOIL SHALL BE WORKED INTO A SEEDBED BY
THE USE OF PULVERIZERS, DRAGS, OR HARROWS. THE PREPARATION OF SEEDBEDS SHALL NOT BE DONE WHEN
THE SOIL IS FROZEN OR EXTREMELY WET.
LIMESTONE, FERTILIZER, AND SEED
LIMESTONE, FERTILIZER, AND SEED SHALL BE APPLIED WITHIN 24 HOURS AFTER COMPLETION OF SEEDBED
PREPARATION. LIMESTONE AND FERTILIZER MAY BE APPLIED AS PART OF THE SEEDBED PREPARATION, PROVIDED
IT IS WORKED INTO THE SOIL. IF NOT SO APPLIED, LIMESTONE AND FERTILIZER SHALL BE DISTRIBUTED UNIFORMLY
OVER THE PREPARED SEEDBED AT THE SPECIFIED RATE OF APPLICATION AND THEN HARROWED, RAKED, OR
OTHERWISE THOROUGHLY WORKED INTO THE SEEDBED. SEED SHALL BE DISTRIBUTED UNIFORMLY OVER THE
SEEDBED AT THE RATE OF APPLICATION SPECIFIED, AND IMMEDIATELY HARROWED, RAKED, OR DRAGGED AS
TO COVER THE SEED WITH A LAYER OF SOIL.
Z1111141:12[f
ALL SEEDED AREAS SHALL BE MULCHED. GRAIN STRAW MAY BE USED AS MULCH AT ANY TIME OF THE
YEAR. MULCH SHALL BE APPLIED WITHIN 24 HOURS AFTER THE COMPLETION OF SEEDING. CARE SHALL
BE TAKEN AS TO PREVENT DISPLACEMENT OF SOIL OR SEED FROM THE SEEDBED AREA DURING MULCHING
OPERATIONS. MULCH SHALL BE UNIFORMLY SPREAD BY HAND OR MECHANICAL SPREADER. AN ACCEPTABLE
APPLICATION WILL BE THAT WHICH WILL ALLOW SOME SUNLIGHT TO PENETRATE AND AIR TO CIRCULATE BUT
ALSO PARTIALLY SHADE THE GROUND, REDUCE EROSION AND CONSERVE SOIL MOISTURE.
MAINTENANCE
AREAS WHERE SEEDING AND MULCHING HAVE BEEN PERFORMED SHALL BE MAINTAINED IN SATISFACTORY
CONDITION UNTIL ACCEPTANCE OF THE PROJECT BY THE OWNER. AREA OF DAMAGE OR FAILURE DUE TO ANY
CAUSE SHALL BE REPAIRED OR REDONE AS NECESSARY.

THE CONTRACTOR SHALL COMPLY WITH ALL APPLICABLE REQUIRMENTS OF THE EROSION
AND SEDIMENT CONTROL STANDARDS AND SPECIFICATIONS OF THE DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL
RESOURCES AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT. SOIL EROSION AND SEDIMENTATION CONTROL
MEASURES SHALL BE PROVIDED ON ALL AREAS OF THE SITE WHICH ARE DISTURBED OR
GRADED. CONTRACTOR MALL PROVIDE GROUND COVERS (SEE SCHEDULE BELOW) WITHIN 30
CALENDAR DAYS AFTER COMPLETION OF CONSTRUCTION WITHIN THE SPECIFIC AREAS. THE
CONTROL MEASURES SHALL BEGIN PRIOR TO ANY LAND DISTURBING ACTIVITY INCLUDING
CLEARING; SHALL CONTINUE DURING THE CONSTRUCTION AND SHALL CONTINUE WITH THE
NECESSARY MAINTENANCE UNTIL THE DISTURBED LAND IS STABILIZED. COMPLIANCE WITH LOCAL
AND/OR STATE SOIL EROSION AND SEDIMENTATION CONTROL LAWS SHALL BE THE ENTIRE
RESPONSIBILITY OF THE CONTRACTOR. THIS PARAGRAPH IS INTENDED TO SERVE ONLY AS A
GUIDE TO THE CONTRACTOR FOR COMPLIANCE WITH SUCH LAWS. ORDERS, RULES AND
REGULATIONS CONCERNING EROSION AND SEDIMENTATION CONTROL PROTECTION OF EXISTING
STRUCTURES AND FACILITIES FROM SEDIMENTATION SHALL BE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE
CONTRACTOR. ITEMS TO BE PROTECTED SHALL INCLUDE, BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO CATCH BASINS,
NATURAL WATERWAYS, DRAINAGE DITCHES, WALKS, DRIVES, ROADS, LAWNS, AND STREAMS.
