Jen,
Please issue the coc, they need to begin their monitoring. The discharge is of good quality, they have a decent system there as long as they are not dewatering
while digging. They obliterated the wetland, it's gone so I don't know why they bothered to put it on the map. Jo said the wetland was small enough they could
have gotten a permit to wipe it out anyway.

Hi Linda,
How are you doing? Hope you are well.
We've received an NOI from Sparrow Hawk Sand Pit. for their mine in Carteret County for coverage of their sand mine under NCG02 (mining
SW permit). The site discharges stormwater into a UT to the Newport River (C). The NOI is attached.
It looks like you have already given t9em an NOV for mine dewatering without a permit and possible wetland impacts. They did submit this
by 6J17Jo9. I am sorry this has taken so long to get to you. I received it just before I left on vacation in July, but I don't' know if you know
but my husband and I have been really sick. I've been at work for basically two weeks since then.

Anyway, it appears that there are be wetlands near the site - the NOV states that they have impacted an isolated wetland. They state that
they had this wetland delineated by the US Army Corps and that they stated it was isolated. They state the size is o.16 Acres.
They are dewatering. Their plans are not stamped by a PE. I am also sending you the plans and the NO] through the mail.
I've sent them a letter stating that they will need to submit an O&M plan to you - & they need to check whether they will need a state
stormwater permit for their additional project area they added in 2-oo8.
Does the Wilmington Regional Office have any concerns about issuing this facility a COC for this general permit? If we don't receive any
objections, we'll issue the COC in 3o days.
Thanks,
ten

Dear Mr. Willis:
Dee Freeman
Secretary
The Division of Water Quality's Stormwater Permitting Unit received a National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System (NPDES) permit application for Sparrow Hawk Sand Pit on .Tune 17, 2009. The
application included 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 also be aware that if your project is located near wetlands, your NPDES permit will require
dewatering operations without wetland impacts. The specific requirements for mine dewatering at
facilities near wetlands can be found in the text of the general NPDES mining permit number NCG020000
available on our website, http:Hh2o.enr.state.nc.us/su/Forms_Documents.htm. See Section C, Part 1 of the
permit on the page labeled, "Part III Page 5 of 9". An approved Operation and Monitoring Plan is
required for NPDES-permitted mining facilities. Discharging mine dewatering wastewater without Plan
approval will be subject to enforcement action. A Plan for your facility must be submitted to the Washington
Regional Office within 60 days of your receipt of an NPDES permit. We encourage you to contact Linda
Willis at the Wilmington Regional Office at [phone] to address any wetland concerns for your
facility in order to ensure a successful NPDES application review.
Additionally, new coastal stormwater management rules (SESSION LAW 2008-211) were implemented
October 1, 2008. Due to these new rules you may be required to apply for an additional State Storinwater
Permit. Please contact Kelly Johnson in the Wilmington Regional Office at 910-796-7345 to determine if
you will. be required to submit an application for this additional permit.

Project Narrative (2008 modification): This modification request adds 0.3 acres to the
mining area. This area is within the permitted acreage, but was excluded from the
Mining Area in the original mine plan. Part of this area (0.16 acres) has been classified
as an isolated wetland, and the remainder of the acreage was a buffer. The wetland area
was classified by the US Army Corps of Engineers as isolated and not connected to
Waters of the US, and therefore not under their jurisdiction. The property owner made
application with the NCDENR, Division of Water Quality for permission to excavate this
area under Isolated General Wetland Permit (IWGP) #100000. This application was
approved on April 2, 2008. Mining will continue at this site in accordance with the
existing permit.
