Re: Williams Mine
Carteret County

Dear Mr. Williford:
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. 16-68 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 March 26, 2019, 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 and affected acreage for this site are both 7.33
acres, as indicated on the mine map last revised March 4, 2009.
Please review the permit and contact Ms. Judy Wehner, Assistant State Mining
Specialist, at (919) 733--4574 of any objection or questions concerning the terms of the permit.
Sincerely,

Notes on David "Curly" Williams Site, Williams Mine:
Engineer: Ronald D. Cullipher, P.E.,
Limited to 20 feet deep excavation
1 discharge point - mine dewatering.
Sand - so no A to C rq'd. There is dewatering however so there is
wastewater.
No copy of mining permit number with application
No 401 certification information
No recycle or other non -discharge permits
Mine dewatering wilt occur NEAR WETLANDS
o Appears to be adjacent to wetlands on 2 sides.
o Surrounded by Croatan National Forest.
o States in NO1 that they are dewatering near wetlands or impact
any stream groundwater or wetlands (10).
o They did not provide any 401 certification information
o They apparently do need this!?
o No monitoring wells.
No discharges from overflows of process wastewater. (No process
wastewater)
Why is there a detail of monitoring wells when they state that "it is not
anticipated that monitoring wells shall be needed".
NoAtoC
Dewatering with Pumps:
5 day dewatering cycle w/ 1500 GPM pumps "...to 10 days in the future,
excavation activities would begin and approx. 4 days of sand mining
occurring"?
o What does that mean?
. 200 loads of material per cycle
. Smatter pumps = 200 GPM range
Permittee needs to do/questions:
1. Please Provide mining permit information or application. No NCG02 will
be issued until DLR mining permit is issued.
2. Need calculations to prove no sediment runoff.
a. Where are the calculations to prove that sediment won't run off
site? They say "additional berms or dikes shall be constructed as
may be required to ensure that stormwater runoff wit[ directed

back into the mining pit or through the sediment trap". This does.
not seem like enough - a trial and error.
b. What is the sizing of the ponds based on?
C.
3. Wetlands delineation needed or 401 certification information needed if
you are directly impacting wetlands -
a. Is your road, ditches, waste area, or any of your construction
going through or directly impacting wetlands?
b. They state they are dewatering near wetlands. They state that it
is not anticipated that the hydrology will be significantly
impacted but no proof.
4. O✓`tM Plan:
a. Wetlands are not shown or delineated on the site map. Wetlands
need to be shown on the site map.
b. They state they are dewatering near wetlands. They state that it
is not anticipated that the hydrology will be significantly
impacted but no proof...?
c. Well information
i. Design, depth, and maintenance
d. No apparent groundwater monitoring strategies - please provide.
e. Physical monitoring for wetlands areas. None provided.
f. Settling pond sizing information - provide calculations on why this
sizing.
g. Does the OftM need to go to the WiRO? I think so... It says on the
NO1 that it does.
h. Ask the permittee if they have sent to WiRO
i. Detailed plans are missing surround hydrology and wetlands
delineation
5. Wells:
a. Why is there a detail of monitoring wells when they state that "it
is not anticipated that monitoring wells shall be needed". It
appears the you will need to monitor groundwater wells for 3
years.
b. Do they need any permits for that?? What about for that
installation?
6. Ditch stabilization: 2:1 side slope. Is that ok in this case or should it be
at least 3:1 or 5:1?
7. Pond: 1:1 side slope ok?

Dear Mr. Williams:
Coleen H Sullins, Director
Division of Water Quality
The Division of Water Quality's Storrnwater Permitting Unit received a National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System (NPDES) permit application for Williams Mine on March 27, 2008. The application
did not include a copy of an associated application for a mining'permit submitted to the Division of Land
Resources (DLR). Please be aware that the issuance of an NPDES permit is contingent upon the issuance of
an associated mining permit from DLR. Our office will process your stormwater permit application once a
DLR mining permit has been issued for your project. Please provide the Mining Permit number and
submit a copy of your application.
We request that you obtain an approved wetlands delineation from the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers. Wetlands shall be clearly delineated on the site plan and marked on site. Please note that we
request that along with wetlands boundaries being delineated, a 50' buffer around all wetlands and surface
waters be marked.
Additionally, mine dewatering activities that have the potential to drain wetlands or otherwise impact
surface water or groundwater MUST develop and implement an Operation and Monitoring (O&M) Plan
that has been approved by the Division. The O&M Plan should be submitted to the Regional Office and
must be approved prior to operation. The plan shall include, but is not limited to: (1) Groundwater
monitoring strategies to demonstrate the effect of pumping and to establish any pumping regime necessary
to reduce impacts, and (2) Detailed plans to maintain surrounding hydrology and respective monitoring to
demonstrate compliance.
A Plan for your facility must be submitted to the Wilmington Regional Office before your receipt of
an NPDES permit. We encourage you to contact Ed Beck and/or Linda Willis at the Washington W r 1,,1,E-(a,.,
Regional Office at [phone] to address any wetland concerns for your facility in order to ensure a
successful NPDES application review, and to schedule the date for receipt of your O&M.
Please be aware that your NPDES permit will require that dewatering operations do not impact
wetlands. The specific requirements for mine dewatering at facilities with the potential to impact
wetlands can be found in'the text of the general NPDES mining permit number NCG 020000 available
on our website, http:/Ai2o.enr.state.nc.us/su/Forms_Documents.htm. See Part II, Section C, Item 1 of

am much overdue to issue this permit so if you could please let me know if they have submitted

This was supposed to be in by August 25 - the *Mining Permit
information*, *wetlands delineation information*, and *404/401
Certification permit information. *Have you seen any of it yet? Will be
out of the office next week so jsut wanted to check on it.
I sent you the pies of the other mine. And we'll be at the beach from
the 12th to the 14th -but call me after. that - we'd love to have you
over for dinner_ 1 forgot we were going - we planned it so long ago.
You are in Raleigh until the loth, right?
Hope you have a good weekend and thanks again for everything!
Thanks,
Jen
No problem - thank you for your help!
I just talked to John Hennessy and he assured me that he would talk to
the Corps at their consistancy meeting in September about this.
T told him you knew a lot more about the issue than I did and you have
been trying to get this issue resolved for a long time. I told him he
should maybe contact you to get a more complete picture of the issue -- I
hope that is ok ,
Thanks again!
