Dear Mr. Williford:
In accordance with your application for a discharge permit received on May 2, 2003,
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 (COC) is not transferable except
after notice to the Division of Energy, Mineral, and Land Resources. The Division may
require modification or revocation and reissuance of the certificate of coverage.
This NPDES discharge permit contains conditions that require.you to comply
with the Mining Permit for this operation. We note that you were issued a Notice of
Deficiency (NOD) dated July 9, 2013 that advised specific corrective actions for compliance
with that Mining Permit (16-23). You must achieve compliance with that permit and apply
for any necessary Mining Permit modifications in order to discharge dewatering water.
Please be aware that mine dewatering at your site has the potential to impact
adjacent wetlands. The specific requirements for mine dewatering at facilities near
wetlands can be found in Part III, Section E of your permit. You must have an approved
Operation and Monitorine fO&Ml Plan before mine dewaterine discharees occur at
your facility. Discharging mine dewatering wastewater without Plan approval will be
subject to enforcement action. An Operation and Monitoring Plan for your facility must be
submitted to the Wilmington Regional Office within 60 days of your receipt of this permit.
Contact Dan Sams at the Wilmington Regional Office at [phone] for more
information about the approval process.

Your 0&M Plan should include:
• A wetland delineation to identify all surface waters, including wetlands in the vicinity of
the mine inside and outside of the mine site boundary. This must be performed by the US
Army Corp of Engineers (USACOE), or by a consultant and then certified that the USACOE is
in agreement.
• Site map: This map should indicate the landscape and position of all wetlands (based on
the delineation), ditches, proposed well placement, borrow areas, overburden storage, mine
excavation pits, vehicle maintenance areas, mining roads, buffers, rain gauges, fuel and bulk
fuel storage areas, sediment traps, settling basins, buildings and other impervious
structures, stormwater controls and the mine footprint.
• The amount of buffer around the mine footprint and wetlands.
• identify all discharge points from the mine and the type of discharge (stormwater,
mine dewatering, and/or process wastewater overflow). For mine dewatering, specify the
anticipated rate of discharge. if this discharge will vary, estimate the maximum rate of
discharge.
• Identify surface waters that may be impacted (Sanders Creek and Goose Creek), the
classification of those waters (SA;HQM, and how the operation will ensure the discharge
from the mine will not cause an exceedance of the water quality standards. This includes
determining the flow rate at low tide conditions in the tributary to Sanders Creek that
will receive dewatering flows (see more information later in this letter).
• Design specifications and calculations for settling basins used to reduce turbidity and
TSS prior to discharge. What size storm event have the settling ponds and retention pond
been designed for? (For example, the 10-year 24-hour event).
• Identify whether shallow monitoring wells are necessary to monitor and protect
against impacts to wetlands. If not, the plan should thoroughly explain why not (for
example, dewatering will not change the hydraulic gradient in a way that will drain nearby
wetlands because discharges will rehydrate them).
• For mining with the potential to drain wetlands, a "radius of influence" calculation must
be provided for mines intending to dewater from the pit if there are surface waters or
wetlands close to the pit that could be impacted. Provide all assumptions used for
determining this radius of influence around the mining site. Once the zone of influence is
determined, identify the wetlands in the impact area and locate monitoring wells
accordingly. if this is not applicable, explain why.
The Regional Office may advise you on other aspects during the 0&M Plan approval
process.
This site will discharge to a receiving stream designated as High Quality Waters
(HQW). As a result, a more stringent TSS limit and wastewater discharge volume applies.
The General Permit limits total wastewater flow to 50 percent of the 7Q10 base flow for all
discharges to HQW-classified waters. However, a 7Q10 base now for the unnamed
tributary leading to Sanders Creek cannot be calculated because these waters are tidally
influenced. To comply with the permit and protect these sensitive waters, you must
determine -the flow rate of the tributary at low tide conditions and provide that flow rate
in the O&M Plan. We recommend hiring an engineer that can measure flow with a flow
meter device, calculate the flow based on stream dimension measurements, or use an
alternative strategy with a sound engineering basis. If that flow determination is

Mr. Charles R. Williford
September 27, 2013
Page 3 of 3
acceptable, the Division will advise you of the discharge flow limit based on your
determination in its approval letter.
The upper portion of Goose Creek is also designated as Primary Nursery Area
(PNA) waters by the N.C. Marine Fisheries Commission. The Division of Marine Fisheries
approved coverage for this mine under the General Permit NCG020000 with the specific
preference that dewatering be accomplished by gravity flow (no pumping) only. Should
dewatering by any other- means (e.g., by pumping, or if the pit is ever dredged, which
changes the dewatering discharge to process wastewater), you must first notify the
Division for approval and revision to the COC because of the sensitive shellfish
resources downstream.
Please note that mine dewatering wastewater includes wet pit overflows caused
solely by direct rainfall and -groundwater seepage for this type of mining operation. Any
discharge of this water (and any stormwater commingled with it) is subject to the effluent
limitations in this permit.
This project is located in one of North Carolina's 20 coastal counties. Coastal
stormwater management rules (15A NCAC 2H .1000) may require an additional State
Stormwater Permit (different from the NPDES mining activities discharge permit). Please
contact Georgette Scott in the Wilmington Regional Office at [phone] if you have
questions about whether you are required to submit an application for a State Stormwater
permit.
This permit does not affect the legal requirements to obtain other permits which
may be required by the Division of Energy, Mining, and Land Resources, or permits
required by the Division of Water Resources, Coastal Area Management Act, or any other
federal or local governmental permit that may be required.
If you have any questions concerning this permit, please contact Bethany
Georgoulias at telephone number [phone].

for Tracy E. avis, P.E., CPM

Subject: RE: S&P Gravel Mine
Hi Brian,
Thanks again for sending the NOD and NOV documents. I've drafted up a cover letter and COC for a September 271h
issuance for this mine. I'm sending them your way for review since there are so many issues surrounding this one, and
because it might help learn more about how the NCG02 permit works in general. Let me know if the cover letter and
COC language address everything to your satisfaction. We can be more generic in the COC (and just say "stormwater
and wastewater"), but I thought more detail might be helpful here.
I'm out sporadically next week —Training at RRO on Monday morning, out all day Tuesday and Thursday (but here for
the all day training meeting on Wednesday), and then out most of Friday for a trip to a Quarry in Moncure, NC.
If we need to work more on it, we can certainly reschedule the permit issuance for October sometime. I want you all to
be comfortable with how we've worded everything and our requests for the O&M Plan submittal. If you're planning to
be here on Wednesday, maybe we can catch up on it then.
Thanks,
Bethany

Subject: RE: S&P Gravel Mine
Hi Brian,
I talked with Jean today, and I'm on the home stretch of S&P Sand and Gravel's Certificate of Coverage.
Receiving waters and future dredging: For all intents and purposes, the dewatering appears to discharge to a UT to
Sanders Creek, SA;HQW (and into a Primary Nursery Area in Goose Creek). Shellfish Sanitation and DCM are okay with
the gravity flow dewatering but need to be notified if there's a change. I've determined that we cannot prohibit future
dredging water discharge on the basis of ORW waters farther downstream at Goose Creek/Rogue Sound (because this
discharge goes into SA waters, not just some UT draining to ORW)—but, I'm not sure these agencies would encourage or
approve coverage of that discharge here given the special habitat anyway. I'll address this in the final issuance letter.
Dewatering flow limit: Your direction to them to install a mechanism to control the flow will be necessary for
compliance with NCG02. Jean says it's feasible to estimate flow in the channel or ditch where their dewatering water
will enter. She can help you do that if you need to. Because of the flow limit in the permit (SO% of the 7Q10), we need
an estimated flow at low tide conditions to establish a flow discharge limit for this operation. I need that information for
the cover letter.
Wetlands O&M Plan: Jean advises that there are probably wetlands on at least one side of the mine, and Mr. Williford
needs to have them identified. It means they need to prepare an 0&M Plan — the first step of which is to get a
delineation done. Here it's not a "Pumping" O&M Plan, but they need to address how they'll guard against potential
impacts. The permit requires that the WiRO approve that O&M plan before they can dewater. Here is an excerpt from
my cover letter so far:
Please be aware that mine dewatering at your site has the potential to impact adjacent wetlands. The specific
requirements for mine dewatering at facilities near wetlands can be found in Part III, Section E of your permit. Yyu_must have
an annroved Operation and Monitorine f0&Ml Plan before mine dewaterine discharees occur at vour facility.
Discharging mine dewatering wastewater without Plan approval will be subject to enforcement action. An Operation and
Monitoring Plan for your facility must be submitted to the Wilmington Regional Office within 60 days of your receipt of this
permit. Contact Dan Sams at the Wilmington Regional Office at [phone] for more information about the approval
process.

Your 0&M Plan should include:
• A wetland delineation to identify all surface waters, including wetlands in the vicinity of the mine inside and outside
of the mine site boundary. This must be performed by the US Army Corp of Engineers (USACOE), or by a consultant
and then certified that the USACOE is in agreement.
• Site map: This map should indicate the landscape and position of all wetlands (based on the delineation), ditches,
proposed well placement, borrow areas, overburden storage, mine excavation pits, vehicle maintenance areas, mining
roads, buffers, rain gauges, fuel and bulk fuel storage areas, sediment traps, settling basins, buildings and other
impervious structures, stormwater controls and the mine footprint.
• The amount of buffer around the mine footprint and wetlands.
• identify all discharge points from the mine and the type of discharge (stormwater, mine dewatering, and/or
process wastewater overflow). For mine dewatering, specify the anticipated rate of discharge. If this discharge
will vary, estimate the maximum rate of discharge.
• Identify surface waters that may be impacted (Sanders Creek and Goose Creek), -the classification of those waters

quality standards.
• Design specifications and calculations for settling basins used to reduce turbidity and TSS prior to discharge. What
size storm event have the settling ponds and retention pond been designed for? (For example, the 10-year 24-hour
event).
• Identify whether shallow monitoring wells are necessary to monitor and protect against impacts to wetlands. If
not, the plan should thoroughly explain why not (for example, dewatering will not change the hydraulic gradient in a
way that will drain nearby wetlands because discharges will rehydrate them). If discharge is into wetlands, the plan
must address how non -erosive flow will be achieved.
• For mining with the potential to drain wetlands, a "radius of influence" calculation must he provided for mines
intending to dewater from the pit if there are surface waters or wetlands close to the pit that could be impacted.
Provide all assumptions used for determining this radius of influence around the mining site. Once the zone of
influence is determined, identify the wetlands in the impact area and locate monitoring wells accordingly,
The Regional Office may advise you on other components or details during the approval process.
Jean, do you have any comments or additional advice for me and Brian on this list? Brian, historically Central Office has
been less involved in the O&M Plan review because our group's expertise with wetlands are limited. I used Linda Willis'
original guidance document to help me with this list. You all might need to look to DWR in your office for some
assistance, especially with the NPDES position in DEMLR currently vacant. The major step here is to identify what's on or
near the site first, and then evaluate what needs to be in place for the mining operation to ensure they are not
impacted.
Does this sound suitable to go into the cover letter?
As soon as we get a flow estimate, we can issue the COC, as long as you all are okay with what we're asking in the O&M
Plan.
Thanks!

No problem, Joanne. Brian, maybe you can point out on the mop exactly where the ditch lean talked about leads from
Rick Williford's pit? Joanne says she forwarded the email with the maps. Otherwise, I need to wait for Jean's input on
this next week. I want to make sure we advise the permittee correctly on any restrictions on dewatering.
Either way, we're dealing with tidally influenced waters that we can't estimate a 7Q10 (low flow) for. Unless Water
Quality feels the gravity flow of dewatering water could negatively impact downstream SA waters because of excessive
dilution or flow velocities, I'm inclined not to specify a flow limit in the cover letter —particularly since he will not be
pumping. I still plan to advise him that he should have some method of controlling flow from his BMPs (flashboard riser,
etc.) in the event that flow must be restricted to comply with effluent limits in the permit, and to be consistent with your
recommendations.
I'll work with Joanne and Jean to advise other components of an O&M Plan that would be required before he could
dewater. We can move forward with the NCG02 Certificate of Coverage, but he'll have to put some kind of 0&M
dewatering plan together that the WiRO can approve. One component will likely be delineating wetlands so he knows
where they are, if any. Again, I'll check in with Jean on these aspects when she gets back.
Sorry this is such a complicated one! Any help on discharge location in the meantime would be helpful.
Thanks!

Subject: Maps for S&P Gravel Mine - Newport, Carteret County
Hi Joanne,
Poor Jean has talked to me so much about this one, and I'm still just SO confused about exactly where the dewatering
water drains to. It's a ditch that leads somewhere, and I thought it was some part of Goose Creek. At issue is that the
area of Goose Creek at the mouth (and east/west along the shdre)-is ORW, covered under a special ORW rule. That rule
says "The only new or expanded NPDES permitted discharges that shall be allowed shall be non -domestic, non -process
industrial discharges."
The last time we talked with her and Jim Gregson about this one, the conclusion was that would prohibit any dredging
dewatering discharge from this mine -
BUT, I need to figure out again why she and Jim thought the discharge went to that segment. Boyd Devane and I are
struggling with similar mining discharge situations, and we're not sure that unnamed tribs leading into these ORW
waters (or PNA waters) are necessarily restricted by the classification rule. In my case, we decided this area drains to
15A 2B .0225 (7)(D) Western Bogue Sound Section ....
But that rule doesn't include tributaries, only the section itself. I've attached two maps: One Jean sent me a while back
with the PNA area and the mine shown on it. The other is the one I drafted up for the COC, and it shows PNA (yellow)
and ORW (blue) sections highlighted so you can see. My biggest question right now is where is the ditch that this guy is
draining his pit to leading? Does it go all the way down to the ORW area, or does it drain into an upper portion of
Goose Creek? Both Jean and Brian confirmed that it doesn't go to Sanders Creek (that's what the application and their
site plan says, but it's wrong — may have been a previous phase of this mine under another owner).
So first priority is to figure out if this really is restricted from dredging WW. Second would be whether we ask for
wetlands delineation as part of the 0&M Plan, which I will have to remind him he needs approval for before starting to
dewater (again, which he was ordered to stop by DEMLR b/c the mining permit doesn't allow it right now either). Even
if you remember where it was and can just highlight it on the COC map, that would be a HUGE help!
Thanks for any help you can give!!!!

Dear Mr. Williford:
On July 9, 2013 an inspection of the subject mine was performed by Brian Lambe of this office.
Several deficiencies were observed that require your prompt attention.
The deficiencies discovered and the necessary corrective actions are as follows:
I . The outlet of the mine excavation area does not follow the approved mine map dated
May 5, 2006, Two sediment traps are to installed in the outlet. However, there are no details
associated with the sediment traps. Provide details to this office regarding trap sizing with
supporting calculations. Operating condition 4A requires adequate mechanical barriers. The
current structures in the ditch are not sediment traps and do not function to filter the mine water.
There is no control of the amount of water flowing into adjacent tributary.
2. Install construction entrance using surge stone at least 50' long, but long enough to
minimize dirt from getting onto the road. Operating condition 4A requires adequate mechanical
barriers. There is no construction entrance currently. Include detail in plan revision.
3. Operating condition 4B and 4C require that all drainage flow into the mine excavation
area and that is no dewatering allowed on site. Provide for NPDES dewatering permit and install
adequate measures for dewatering.

Dear Mr. Williford:
This is to inform you and/or your company of a violation(s) of the above referenced
mining permit.
On August 20, 2013, personnel of this office inspected your mine, copy of inspection
report attached, and determined that one or more of the conditions contained in your mining
permit are being violated. The conditions being violated are as follows:
1) Operating condition 4A: Adequate mechanical barriers including but not limited
to diversions, earthen dikes, check dams, sediment retarding structures, rip rap
pits, or ditches shall be provided in the initial stages of any land disturbance and
maintained to prevent sediment from discharging onto adjacent surface areas or
into any lake, wetland, or natural watercourse in proximity to the affected land.
The outlet of the mine excavation area does not follow the approved mine
map dated May 5, 2006. Two sediment traps are to be installed in the
outlet. However, there are no details associated with the sediment traps.
Provide details to this office regarding trap sizing with supporting
calculations. Operating condition 4A requires adequate mechanical
barriers. The current structures in the ditch are not sediment traps and do
not function. to filter the mine water. There is no control of the amount of
water flowing into adjacent tributary.

2) Operating Condition 4A:
Install construction entrance using surge stone at least 50' long, but long
enough to minimize dirt from getting onto the road. Operating condition
4A requires adequate mechanical barriers. There is no construction
entrance currently. Include detail in plan revision.
3) Operating Condition 4 B: All drainage from the affected area around the
mine excavation shall be diverted internal to said excavation or into the
existing sediment basins as indicated on the overall view map A dated
May 5, 2006.
Operating Condition 4 C: No dewatering activities shall occur at this site. _
Operating condition 4B and 4C require that all drainage flow into the mine
excavation area and that is no dewatering allowed on site. Provide for
NPDES dewatering permit and install adequate measures for dewatering.
Refer to Notice of Violation from Division of Water Quality dated January
29, 2013.
4) Operating Condition 5: All affected area boundaries (22.7 ac) shall be
permanently marked at the site on 100 ft intervals unless the line of sight
allows for larger spacing intervals.
In order to bring this site into compliance, the following corrective actions must be taken:
1) Submit a revised mining application to this office detailing solution to dewatering
issues on site. The mine map will have to include sediment trap details including
sizing and calculations. Include a construction entrance detail. Discuss water
management in revision.
2) Follow requirements of DWQ NOV dated 1/29/2013. Refer to NOV for details
regarding submission.
3) Install measures to retain sediment onsite. A construction entrance should be
installed immediately. Water should not be discharged at this time. Steps should
be taken to stop the discharge until appropriate measures are in place and the
mine is appropriately permitted.
4) Demark all mine permit boundaries.
5) Contact this office for an onsite meeting to discuss compliance issues.

Bethany,
I just wanted to touch base and let you know that we are working on this larger issue. With regard to the specific
application from S&P Sand and Gravel , LLC., since water is not being pumped and just overflow, we would have no
problems with it.
We were not receiving these in the past (I assume because they are GPs?), so we are excited to be in the loop. Once we
discuss this more internally, I'll give you a call.
Thanks,
Jessi

Hi Jessi,
Thanks so much for reaching out. I'll be sure to forward the info. out to the rest of the Stormwater Permitting Program
staff. We were in the (new) Division of Water Resources until August 1", when our group was moved over to the
Division of Energy, Mineral, and Land Resources.
I'm working with Brian Lambe in the Wilmington regional office Land Quality Section on this particular sand pit. Please
let us know if you have any special concerns that we should address in the Certificate of Coverage for the discharge
permit, or that the Wilmington Regional Office may need to consider when reviewing this permittee's Operating and
Monitoring Plan (that may be submitted after we issue the permit, but must be approved before the owner can dewater
his pit).
One particularly challenging issue we encounter with these is whether there should be a flow volume limit to receiving
waters. For high quality waters (SAs and PNAs are usually considered HQW), our rules specify that wastewater
discharges are limited to 50% of the 7Q10 (summer) base flow, to protect the streams at low flow conditions. Coastal
waters are tidally influenced, and there's no way for USGS to calculate a "7Q10" statistic. On the coast, we're worried
about impacts to shellfish and/or fish in those waters, and the fact that large flow volumes can introduce too much
freshwater dilution into saltwater bodies. We haven't figured out the best approach for limiting flow because the rules
don't address tidally -influenced waters, though. At times regional inspectors have estimated a stream or channel flow
at low tide conditions at the discharge location, and we've limited the discharge flow on that basis. So any guidance you
can give us on flows/best times to discharge (low/high tide conditions, etc.) for specific projects like this one would be
very helpful — if that is a concern based on distance from those areas, etc.
Let me know if you need any more info. It looks like Shannon already forwarded you the documents l sent, so -I think
you've got the application and maps,

Thanks again,
Bethany

The Shellfish Sanitation and Recreational Water Quality Section concurs with the decision to issue
coverage for this facility under the General Permit for pit dewatering via gravity flow. It is preferable
that the dewatering occur via gravity flow as stated in the application. In the event that dewatering
occurs via other means (pump, etc.) we request that our section be notified prior as it could affect the
downstream waters in Goose Creek. The waters of Goose Creek can be open to shellfish harvest
during favorable weather conditions.

Hi Shannon,
I'm reviewing an application from S&P Sand and Gravel, LLC for Bogue Pit in Newport, Carteret County. We are
requesting concurrence with issuing this operator coverage under the NPDES NCG02 Mining discharge permit for mine
dewatering wastewater and stormwater. We are also asking you to advise on any special discharge restrictions since the
tributary drains to Sanders Creek, which ultimately flows into a PNA area of Goose Creek near Bogue Sound. See the
attached Memo to you and referenced documents.
Just let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks!

Does this NPDES Stormwater permit authorize wastewater discharges? ®Yes ❑No
Estimated discharge flow rate of wastewater: not specified
The subject facility has applied to the Division of Water Quality for coverage under the General
NPDES Permit, NCG020000. Please find attached the facility's application (Notice of Intent).
Because this wastewater discharge is into waters classified SA, protected for Shellfishing, we
need your Division's concurrence before we allow coverage of this discharge under the General
NPDES Stormwater Permit. We request that you advise us about whether your Section
concurs with issuing coverage for this facility under the General Permit.
This mine will discharge to waters draining to a Primary Nursery Area (PNA). Please see the
attached map for reference. In addition, we are asking your Section to advise us on whether
wastewaters other than pit dewatering hygravity flow (for example, mine dredging wastewater)
should he allowed from this operation or should he explicitly restricted in the Certificate of
Coverage.
If you have questions concerning this matter, please contact me at 919-807-6372

Subject: Permitting Policy for NPDES General Permits NCG020000 & NCG140000
when Discharge Proposed to ORW-Classified Waters or Waters with Special
Water Quality Management Plans
This memo clarifies the permitting policy for proposed discharges to waters classified
as Outstanding Resource Waters (ORWs) under NPDES general permits NCG020000 (Mining
Activities) and NCG 140000 (Ready -Mix Concrete). These are the only two general permits
issued by the Stormwater Permitting Unit (SPU) that allow both stormwater and process
wastewater discharges. This guidance also addresses the special case of the Lockwoods Folly
River area in the Lumber Basin.
ORW Rules. Section 15A NCAC 02B .0225 (c) outlines quality standards for ORWs.
The standards for freshwater ORW stipulate that "No new discharges or expansions of
existing discharges shall be permitted, and stormwater controls for all new development
activities requiring an Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan ... shall be required to follow
stormwater provisions as specified in 15A NCAC 02H .1000." Unlike in the Water Supply
rules, general permits are not exempted from these restrictions. Later in 2B .0225, specific
waterbodies are addressed. For some of these waterbodies, the rules allow new or expanded
NPDES permitted "non -domestic, non -process industrial" discharges.
Discharges directly to freshwater ORWs. While DWQ interprets the rules to allow
stormwater-only discharges to ORWs, the language does not allow new or expanded process
wastewater discharges directly to ORW designated segments. NCG02 and NCG 14 both allow
process wastewater discharges; therefore, proposed new or expanded wastewater discharges
under these general permits should not be approved. Projects proposing to discharge only
stormwater or those proposing a closed -loop recycle system to manage wastewater are still
allowed. "Closed -loop" systems at ready -mix concrete sites will include those designed to
contain the 25-year, 24-hour storm plus one foot of freeboard.
Discharges directly to saltwater ORWs. Section 2B .0225 (c) (2) requires a public
hearing for any proposed permits to discharge to saltwater ORWs. However, general permits
do not necessarily go through a public hearing during the notice process. For this reason,
and for consistency with our policy regarding discharges to freshwater ORWs, the SPU will
not approve new or expanding wastewater discharges to saltwater ORWs under NCG02 or
NCG14.

DWQ Stormwater Permitting Policy for ORW Waters
May 11, 2007
Discharges to waters draining to ORWs. Depending on the watershed, there are
different requirements for waters draining to ORWs. In some areas, new or expanding
process wastewater discharges are prohibited in undesignated tributaries draining to the
ORW water. For other ORW waterbodies, the rules require effluent limits for discharges
located upstream. In those site -specific cases, the Total Suspended Solids (TSS) parameter is
relevant to both the NCG02 and NCG 14 permits; that limit is 20 mg/l and 10 mg/1 if trout
waters are affected. Currently the NCG02 and NCG14 permit limits are not that stringent
and do not address discharges upstream of ORWs. Therefore, even proposed wastewater
discharges in areas where these limits apply should not be issued a Certificates of Coverage
(COC) for NCG02 or NCG 14. Those projects will need to apply for an individual NPDES
permit (unless these permits are revised in the future to address these cases). The
waterbodies where effluent limits apply are listed in 213 .0225.
Discharges to The Lockwoods Folly River Area (Lumber Basin). Section 15A NCAC
02B .0227 addresses waters protected by Water Quality Management Plans. Currently, the
rule prohibits new or expanding NPDES industrial process wastewater discharges to all
waters of the lower Lockwoods Folly River "in an area extending north from the Intracoastal
Waterway to a line extending from Genoes Point to Mullet Creek." Most segments of this
river are actually classified HQW in BIMS with no indication of a special management
strategy, so a reviewer needs to be aware of this special case. As with dischargers to ORW
segments, a COC for wastewater discharges under an NCG02 or NCG14 permit will not be
issued for these receiving waters. This rule does allow non -domestic, non -industrial process
type discharges (e.g., stormwater), and the SPU interprets the mandatory public hearing
requirement to apply only to individual wastewater permits (as with saltwater ORWs).
DWQ will not permit new or expanding NPDES. wastewater discharges under
NCG02 or NCG14 that propose discharge directly to freshwater or saltwater ORW-
classified waterbodies, or to waters protected by the Lockwoods Folly River Area Water
Quality Management Plan. In areas draining to ORW waterbodies, the 2B .0225 rules
should be consulted to verify if the discharge is allowed .at all and whether special
effluent limits apply. If more stringent TSS (or other) limits are applicable, an individual
NPDES permit will be required. This policy affects any NCG02 or NCG14 applicant proposing
to discharge process wastewater to ORW-classified waters, waters draining to ORWs, or
waters in the Lockwoods Folly River area.

Hi Jean,
Thanks again for the discussion on this one today. Attached is a copy of the NOI, and I've just put a copy of the larger
site plan in the interoffice mail. We decided:
-We can move forward with NCG02 on this one, but we will restrict the conditions/allowable discharges on the
Certificate of Coverage (COC) to prohibit new process wastewater discharges to any ORWs (Basis: 213 .022S, Western
Bogue Sound Section that includes Goose Creek and waters draining to]. We have done this before, and current General
Permit language references the possibility that a facility's COC will specify which discharges are or are not allowed.
Further, restrictions on operation will be addressed in the O&M Plan that will be approved by the regional office (may
need to draw on help from others in DWQ).
-We need additional information from the applicant. SPU will work with Jean to request this from Mr. Williford. This
includes: 1
> Wetlands delineation (CO-fp)
> More information about proposed operation
> Pumping/Draining 0&M Plan for this operation — need to begin working with WiRO on developing this for his site,
even if final approval extends past COC issuance. [CO will hold off on issuance until you feel comfortable either with
final O&M, or that he's on the way to developing an acceptable one.]
-Discuss possibility of no dredging discharges with DMLR counterpart and advise/discuss with applicant.
-Discharge volumes will be restricted to Sanders Creek because of SA; HQW classification. Need a' 7Q10 equivalent"
low flow condition estimate because flow limit will apply under the permit, and these are tidally influenced waters. WW
discharges also need to be approved by Shellfish Sanitation (Div. Marine Fisheries) before we can issue the COC. lean —
may need some more clarification here on what discharges actually flow here, since most of what we talked about today
was the gravity flow in the ditched area leading to the trib of Goose Creek. This should also be addressed in O&M.
Anything else?
Thanks,
Bethany

Thanks for setting up the conference call to help clarify the mine dewatering permit for S&P.
I talked with Brian Lamb and Dan Sams from DEML and told them what we are working on the get
the site permitted and in line with our rules.
This will be a good opportunity to get them familiar with the NPDES permit and hopefully we
can all work to get the site in compliance with both permits.
It appears that site was-formalay?;p�rmitted as the Glenn Russell mine (not Rouse) Permit #
NCG020582 from DEML records. t7l
BIMS list the site as inactive as �1011/2010 and the site address as Russell Rd which is
a few miles west on rt 24. I could not find any inspections or staff review on the site but
will continue to search.
Talk to you next week.
Have a good weekend.
Jean
