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 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.
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

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE PLAN
SAND MINE DEWATERING AND WATER LEVEL CONTROL STRUCTURE
Operator: David 0. Parks, Parks Land Development, Inc., 1252 Florida Road, Elizabeth City, NC 27909
Job Location: Cartwright Swamp Sand Mine, 107 Cartwright Swamp Road, Hertford, NC 27944
County: Perquimans County
Prepared by: Ken Elliott, consulting
Date: March 13, 2014
This plan defines responsibilities for operating, inspecting, and maintaining equipment and structures
used for constructing and dewatering the Cartwright Swamp Sand Mine safely, and that dewatering will
not degrade or negatively impact any wetlands or waters of the state.
Description and Operation of the Cartwright Swamp Sand Mine:
The Cartwright Swamp Sand Mine is a proposed 8.62-acre sand mine excavation operated by David 0.
Parks, Parks Land Development, Inc., in a 16.52 acre permit area located at the intersection of
Cartwright Swamp Road and US 17 North approximately 4.5 miles north of Hertford, NC. The permit
area is on high sandy land currently under cultivation and owned by Mr. Robin E. Trueblood. At this
time Mr. Parks is submitting an application with the NCDENR Division of Energy, mineral and Land
Resources to construct the sand mine and begin operation in May 2014. Mr. Parks is also submitting an
application for a Conditional Use Permit from the Perquimans County Planning and Zoning Department
for construction of this mine.
Sand Mine Dewatering:
It will be necessary to dewater the excavation as it is being excavated to allow the excavating equipment
to enter the excavated area and safely and efficiently remove the sand from the pond bottom. This will
allow for full depth excavation and proper reclamation of the edges of the pond. It is the intention of
Mr. Parks to only dewater the excavations as needed, which will not entail full-time dewatering.
For excavation purposes, dewatering will occur roughly every 30 days which will allow excavating
equipment to remove approximately 150 loads up to ground level where it will be stockpiled for later
use. When the stockpile is depleted from usage, the excavation area will again be dewatered, and
another quantity of sand will be excavated.
The operator plans to construct a 1.04-acre above -ground sedimentation pond located 30 feet from the
southeast corner of the main excavation. 'The 6 foot deep pond will be constructed with 7-ft tall by 30-ft
wide sand berms surrounding it which will have full groundcover installed. The foot of the berm will be
located 100 feet from the Cartwright Swamp wetlands. Use of an above -ground sediment pond will
forcibly hydrate the Cartwright Swamp wetlands located 100 feet from the sediment pond and
excavation, and will minimize dehydration of the swamp.
The operator will install a 6-inch dewatering pump between the 2 ponds at the southeast corner of the
main excavation. Discharge from the dewatering pump will enter the sediment pond on its northwest

corner, and there will be a constructed water height control device (see attached diagram) discharge
point located on the southeast corner of the sediment pond. The discharge point will release clear
water to a 25 foot long constructed riprap-protected ditch, leading 75-feet to the Cartwright Swamp
wetlands, then 1.25 miles to Sutton Creek and 2.6 miles to the Perquimans giver (see attached map for
outflow route and discharge point locations).
Water will be pumped from the main pond to the sediment pond by a bin gasoline -powered transfer,
pump operating at idle speed. Estimated maximum flow from the pump will be 10,000 gallons/hour. It
is the intention of Mr. Parks to drop the water level in the main pond approximately 20 - 25 feet below
natural ground level when needed.
The overflow from the sediment pond will be controlled by a water height control device constructed in
the southeast sediment pond berm, 2 feet below the top of the berm, This control structure will allow
water to flow through the baffle into a 25ft long x 15" wide buried PVC pipe leading south to a 6ft wide
drainage ditch running south 100 feet to the Cartwright Swamp wetlands, then to Sutton Creek and
Perquimans River. For erosion control, the overflow water will exit the water height control discharge
onto a 20ft long riprap-lined apron in the ditch.
Time and distance will allow all sedimentation to occur to acceptable levels before the overflow water
reaches outfall and then the waters of the State. Water will have to travel a minimum of 240 feet to
reach the overflow point which will give enough surface area to allow sufficient sedimentation to occur.
There will be a minimum 2 feet of freeboard between the water surface in the sediment pond and the
top of the sediment pond berm. Stormwater drainage will be unable to enter the sediment area due to
the height of the sediment pond berm and damaging sediment pond rates.
Sedimentation and Erosion Control
There is wetland swamp (Cartwright Swamp) on the east and south side of the proposed excavation,
located 80 —180 feet from the excavation edge, running along the eastern and southern permit
boundary. The operator will establish a 50ft undisturbed buffer (no disturbance of any kind) adjacent to
the east and south perimeter of the permit area. This buffer will be maintained by the operator as
pasture with grass and pine tree ground cover,
In addition there will be a 25ft unexcavated buffer (may contain roadways, stockpiles, and sediment &
erosion control devices) around the entire excavation area, between the excavation and the
undisturbed buffer.
Sediment pond overflow will drain into a constructed 100ft x 6ft wide feeder ditch that leads 100 feet to
Cartwright Swamp, then 1.25 miles to Sutton Creek and then 2.6 miles to Perquimans River. Overflow
into the feeder ditch will be stabilized by riprap installed in the feeder ditch at the overflow (see
diagram) to prevent erosion of the ditch.

All erosion and sedimentation will remain inside of the permit area. The operator will construct and
maintain an 8ft wide x 2ft tall grass -covered sand berm around the perimeter of the current affected
area of the excavation during all phases of operation. During mining operations and dewatering, the
majority of the water leaving the excavation will remain inside of the permit area and will only overflow
through the sediment pond occasionally. The sediment pond will be approximately 6 feet deep, and
there is a sand layer below the bottom of the area. The porosity of the soil under the sediment pond
will allow most of the water pumped into the pond from dewatering to seep back into the ground
naturally. Any excess water overflowing from the sediment pond will flow downstream to Cartwright
Swamp, 1.25 miles to Sutton Creek, and then 2.6 miles to the Perquimans River.
Maintaining the Sediment Pond Overflow Control Structure, Settlement Pond and Ditches
Inspections and maintenance are required to obtain the intended function of safely dewatering the sand
mine, and to maintain the life of any adjacent wetlands or waters of the State. Items to inspect and
maintain during the 10 year life of the mine dewatering permit are:
• Inspect the water control structures regularly, especially following heavy rains and runoff, or
during periods of operation of the structure.
• Remove accumulated debris from the overflow control structure.
• Inspect the structure for excessive settlement or seepage.
• Inspect all components of the structure, including appurtenances, and repair or replace any
damaged items as needed.
• Inspect embankments, berms and appurtenant structures, and repair as needed.
• Repair any damage to vegetated areas or berms with compacted earth fill, reshaping, sodding,
reseeding and mulching as needed,
• Inspect riprap outlet stabilization structures in ditches regularly, replace dislodged rock as
necessary.
• Promptly repair all leaks in delivery facilities by replacing valves, fittings, gaskets, and worn or
damaged parts.
• Maintain all screens, filters, valves, timers and other electrical and mechanical equipment in
good operating condition, following manufacturer's recommendations
Monitoring the Process and Effects of Dewatering
Analytical and qualitative monitoring of mine dewatering wastewater will be in accordance with the
NCG020000 permit, as follows:
• All ponds in the Cartwright Swamp Sand Mine permit area will be inspected daily by the
operator to identify any abnormal conditions.
• All berms and erosion control and sedimentation control structures will be inspected following
significant (1/2-inch) rainfall events for damages, and all structures will be repaired immediately.
• Special inspections will be conducted immediately following severe storms, vandalism, and
other significant events.

• Dewatering process will be inspected daily during periods of dewatering the excavation.
• Overflow of wastewater process will be inspected daily during periods of dewatering the
excavation.
• Outflow of dewatering wastewater will be monitored quarterly at the overflow exit stabilization
structure for pH, settleable solids, turbidity, and total flow. Samples will be collected and tested
onsite for pH, and the remainder will be tested for the remaining parameters by a North
Carolina certified lab.
• Rain gauge data will be collected by monitoring rain gauge data monthly and after each rain
event.
Records
Data will be collected as follows:
• Data will be collected from samples taken from the_wastewater point source discharge in
operation at the time.
• Point source discharge data: data from the site taken quarterly, date & time, general weather
conditions, pH of sample, status of process at point source, inlet or outlet, other DWQ required
data.
• Visual monitoring of adjacent farmland for potential dehydration during mining or dewatering
activities will take place weekly. Solutions to any degradation caused by any mining activity will
include alteration of dewatering process. DWQ will be consulted as needed; alterations to
process will be recorded.
• Elliott Consulting will maintain the following records in a permanent file at the Elliott Consulting
office at PO Box 112, 202 Elliott Road, Aydlett, NC 27916: a record of all significant actions
taken; as -built drawings; permits; analytical results from sampling; and related material. Copies
of all inspections, monitoring reports and lab analyses shall be provided to NCDWQ on a regular
basis and as requested.
BMP Conditions
• The permittee will utilize best management practices to ensure that dewatering the Cartwright
Swamp Sand Mine will not degrade or negatively impact any wetlands or waters of the State,
• The permittee shall obtain authorization from the Director of the NCDWQ prior to utilizing any
chemical fiocculants at Cartwright Swamp Sand Mine.

Riprap lined apron located at end of mine dewatering overflow pipes (2) to prevent scour and
undermining in existing ditch, and to absorb the impact of the water flow and reduce the velocity to
non -erosive levels, before flow reaches wetlands.
Riprap Apron Size: Overflow pipe discharges directly into well-defined channel. The apron will extend
across the channel bottom and up the channel banks to the top of the bank. Length of apron will be 20-
feet downstream to maintain velocity control of maximum 2.0 feet per second.
Grade: Apron will have zero grade and no overfill at end of apron.
Alignment: Apron will be straight throughout entire length if possible. If curve is necessary to align the
apron with the receiving channel, the curve will be located in the upstream section of the riprap.
Materials: Riprap will consist of a well graded mixture of NCDOT Class A (2" to 6") stone or slag.
Thickness: Minimum thickness of riprap will be 1.5 times the maximum stone diameter.

Filter: Operator plans to install a layer of heavy duty silt fence filter cloth between the riprap and the
underlying soil to prevent soil movement into or through the riprap. Filter cloth will extend to the top of
both channel banks, and edges will overlap 12 inches. Upstream end will be buried 12 inches and
downstream end will be buried if necessary.
Maintenance: inspect riprap outlet structures weekly and after significant rainfall.events to see if any
erosion around or below the riprap has taken place, or if stones have become dislodged. Repair all
damage immediately. Maintain all vegetation adjacent to the channel in healthy condition to prevent
scour or erosion during out -of -bank flow. Control weeds and brush growing in the riprap by cutting.

Water Height Control: Construction Details
Half -pipe Water Level Control with Flash Board Risers
NRCS Code 587
Cartwright Swamp Sand Mine
Hertford, NC
Perquimans County
DESCRIPTION
A structure in a water management system that conveys water, controls the direction or rate of flow, maintains a desired
water surface elevation or measures water. Water height control structure is standard structure used by agricultural and
horticultural farms in North Carolina to raise or lower water height in ditches and ponds per need.
PURPOSE
To convey water from one elevation to a lower elevation within, to, or from a water conveyance system, such as a ditch,
channel, canal, or pipeline designed to operate under open channel conditions. Typical structures: drops, chutes,
turnouts, surface water inlets, head gates, pump boxes, and stilling basins.
CONSTRUCTION
Structure consists of 26' x 3' horizontal galvanized steel culvert running under farm path. A vertical 6' half pipe 52" x 30" is
attached on the north end of the culvert with stacked flash boards allowing adjustable height of the water level in the
adjacent pond. Water flows over the flash boards and into the culvert and down the ditch.
Overflow ditch is lined with riprap for 20 feet down its length. Existing slopes adjacent to the culvert are heavily grassed
with natural grass and weeds with no erosion present.
MAINTENANCE
Structures will be checked and necessary maintenance, including removal of debris, shall be performed after major
storms and at least semi-annually.

A temporary permeable barrier erected on small disturbed areas to capture sediment from sheet flow. It is made of
filter fabric buried at the bottom, stretched and supported by steel posts.
Planning: Silt fence will be installed along the perimeter of a 12ft wide access road when crossing wetland areas.
Narrow width of fenced area will allow only shallow pools to form behind fence while promoting deposition of sediment
and preventing sedimentation into adjacent wetlands. Ends of fence will be curled uphill in "1" pattern to prevent end
flow. Stabilized outlets will be provided to protect the fence system and release storm flow that exceeds the design.
Design considerations: Silt fence will be constructed of extra -strength synthetic filter fabric. Height of fence will not
exceed 2 feet above natural ground level, and will be constructed from a continuous roll to minimize joints. All joints
will be fastened at a support post with 4 feet minimum of overlap. Extra -strength filter fabric will be fastened to road
side of steel posts (installed 2 feet deep) every 6 feet (every 8 feet if using standard strength filter fabric with wire mesh
backing) and fastened with wire ties. Trench will be excavated along inside of fence approximately 4 inches wide by 8
inches deep, into which 12 inches of fabric will be placed along the bottom and side of the trench. Trench will be
backfilled and compacted.
Maintenance: Inspect sediment fence every week and after each rainfall. Make any required repairs immediately.
Replace any collapsed, damaged, or decomposed fence promptly. Remove all fencing materials and unstable sediment
deposits and bring the area to grade and stabilize it after the contributing drainage area has been properly stabilized.

Definition and purpose: A temporary structure installed across a stream or watercourse for short-term
use by construction vehicles or heavy equipment. Its purpose is to provide a means for vehicles to cross
streams without moving sediment into streams, damaging the streambed, or causing flooding.
Design considerations: 20ft wide sand access road through cultivated field at Cartwright Swamp Sand
Mine will have single 24" culvert installed in field ditch (blue line stream) to provide positive continuity
of water flow through stream to wetlands. Bottom of culvert will be installed minimum 20% below
natural roadbed height. Remainder of access road will remain at natural ground level for sheet -flow
overflow of rainfall.
Maintenance: Inspect stream crossings periodically and after major storms to check for channel
blockage, erosion of abutments, channel degradation, riprap displacement, slope failure, and piping.
Make all needed repairs immediately to prevent further damage to the installation.
