Judy and Robert,
We sent them an NOV with Recommendation to Enforce for dewatering without a permit. We have documentation
showing we advised them they needed our permit in 2004 and again in 2005. They did not act upon that. We opted
not to fine, but they should not be dewatering from the pit until they have developed an 0 & M plan that we can
approve. They will need to put in monitoring wells in the wetlands. They indicated they had discontinued dewatering,
that should still be the case until we can issue an NCG020 (contingent upon receiving an 0 & M for dewatering).

Linda,
just noticed their 2005 mining permit mod (67-33) states that no mine dewatering shall occur. Do you know if they
have or plan to submit to DLR to modify this? Even though they have an active DLR Mining Permit, I'm not sure if we can
issue the COC until the DLR permit allows dewatering.

Morton Mine, Permit #67-33, Morton Trucking, Inc.
Onslow County, North Carolina
Gentlemen and Ladies:
On behalf of Morton Trucking, Inc., ERM NC, PC (ERM) is submitting this letter and
attaclunents to request coverage under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination
System (NPDES) General Permit #NCG02000 for dewatering operations at the
referenced permitted mining facility. The mine produces natural sand used for
construction projects in the region around Onslow County. The mine has been in
operation since 1991 and utilizes an on -site 6.9-acre pond to receive dewatering within
the mine. Historically, the pond served as an infiltration area and did not discharge
water except for major rainfall events. Over recent years, discharges have been
observed by Division of Water Quality (DWQ) representatives during site inspections.
The locations of dewatering pumps, discharge pipes and on -site 6.9-acre pond are
shown on the attached NPDES Site Plan. At the request of the Mining Division during
permitting in 2004, a spillway section was added to the 6.9-acre pond.
Based on pumping records maintained on -site, dewatering does not exceed an average
rate of 100,000 gallons per day utilizing a 50 horsepower pump capable of moving
water at rate of 1,300 gallons per minute with a static head of 70 feet. Pumping
typically does not surpass one hour per day when pumping activities occur and
pumping does not occur every day.
We are currently working with the DWQ Wilmington regional office to develop an
appropriate operation and maintenance plan for the surrounding wetland areas. Ms.
Linda Willis has been our point of contact throughout this process.

STORMWATER DISCHARGES associated with activities classified as:
SIC (Standard Industrial Classification) Code - 14XX Mineral Mining Industry (except as specified below)
The following activities are also included:
• Active or inactive mining operations (including borrow pits —except for NCDO T borrow pits) that discharge
stormwater contaminated with or that has come in contact with, any overburden, raw material, intermediate
products, finished products, byproducts or waste products located on the site of such operations;
• Stormwater from vehicle maintenance activities at mining operations;
• Overflow from facilities that recycle process wastewater; and/or
• Mine dewatering (wastewater)
The following activities are specifically excluded from coverage under this General Permit:
• Stormwater discharges associated with peat mining, coal mining, and metal mining;
• 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 barrow pits are covered under NCS000150
The following discharges are covered by NPOES general ipermit NCG520000 instead of NCG020000:
• Point source discharges of stormwater and wastewater from in -stream sand mining operations (i.e., sand
dredging or dlpping operations)
For new mining sites that require an authorization to construct (ATC) 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 exist mining sites that require an Authorization to operate (A TO) wastewater treatment facilities:
This NOI is also an APPLICATION FOR an ATO for wastewater treatment facilities in place.
Construction modification or Installation of anK new treatment components at an existing site requires
an ATC. (if the site Is already covered by NCG020000, the RTC request may be submitted without an NOI).
Some wastewater treatment facilities used to treat or recycle process wastewater (even if commingled
with stormwater) at mining sites will require an ATC prior to construction per 15A NCAC 2H .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 dewatt ring discharge from clay pits and non -closed -loop wastewater recycle systems,. The
authorization to constructor continue to operate will be issued at the same time as the Certificate of
Coverage (COC) for the NCG02 permit. Design of treatment facilities trust comply with requirements
of 15A NCAC 214 .0138 & .0139.

APPLICATION FOR A MINING PERMIT
C. PROTECTION OF NATURAL RESOURCES
1. Describe in detail the sequence of events for the development and operation of the mine and reference the
sequence to the mine map(s). Attach additional sheets as needed.
Existing mining operations will continue progressing from northeast towards southwest. The
southwest portion of the site has been previously mined as a NCDOT Pit.
2. Describe specific erosion control measures to be installed prior to land disturbing activities and during
mining to prevent offsite sedimentation (include specific plans for sediment and erosion control for mine
excavation(s), waste piles, access/mine roads and process areas), and give a detailed sequence of installation
and schedule for maintenance of the measures. Locate and label all sediment and erosion control measures
on the mine map(s) and provide typical cross-sections/construction details of each measure. Engineering
designs and calculations shall be required when needed to justify the adequacy of any proposed measures.
This is an expansion of an existing operation. Runoff from disturbed lands involved in this operation
drains into the active mine containing sediments within the mine excavation.
3. a. Will the operation involve washing the material mined, recycling process water, or other waste water
handling? Yes No XX_. if yes, briefly describe all such processes including any chemicals to be
used.
b. Will the operation involve discharging fresh or waste water from the mine or plant as a point discharge to
the waters of the State? Yes No XX . If yes, briefly describe the nature of the discharge
and locate all proposed discharge points (along with their method ofstabilization) on your mine map(s).
Dewatering is an operation at this mine. Groundwater is pumped from the active mining areas to
the on -site, 6.92-acre pond. Sediments transported along with the groundwater will settle in the
pond. The pond naturally infiltrates into the sandy soils below.

APPLICATION FOR A MINING PERMIT
c. Will any part of the proposed mine excavation(s) extend below the water table?
Yes XX No . If yes, do you intend to dewater the excavation(s)? Yes XX
No . If yes, what impact, if any, will mine dewatering have on neighboring wells?
Estimated withdrawal rate in gallons per day: . Locate all existing wells on the mine
map(s) that lie within 500 feet of the proposed excavation area. Provide data to support any
conclusions or statements made, including any monitoring well data, well construction data and
current water withdrawal rates. Indicate whether the proposed mine locale is served by a public
water system or private wells.
This area and the surrounding area is served by County Water Supply. There are no known
water supply wells within 1/4-mile of the mine site.
d. if you answered yes to any of the above questions, provide evidence that you have applied for or
obtained the appropriate water duality permit(s) (i.e., non -discharge, NPDES, Stormwater, etc.)
from the Division of Water Quality, Water Quality Section. In addition, the applicant is required to
register water use with the Division of Water Resources if the operation withdraws more than
100,000 gallons per day and needs a capacity use permit from the Division of Water Resources if
the operation lies in a capacity use area and withdraws more than 100,000 gallons per day.
The mining activity and the 6.92-acre pond that serves the dewatering process are non -
discharging areas. Both the mine and the pond are infiltrating bodies of water.
4. a. Will the operation involve crushing or any other air contaminant emissions?
Yes No XX If yes, indicate evidence that you have applied for or obtained an air
quality permit issued by the Division of Air Quality or local governing hody.
b. How will dust from stockpiles, haul roads, etc., be controlled?
An on -site water truck will be used for dust control on access roads
—7—

APPLICATION FOR A MINING PERMIT
5. a. A buffer will be required between any mining activity and any mining permit boundary or right-of-
way. It may be an unexcavated buffer (no excavation, but roadways, berms and erosion &
sedimentation control measures may be installed within it), an undisturbed buffer (no disturbance
