Subject: General Permit No. NCG020000
Tingen Mine
COC NCG020888
Greene County
In accordance with your application for a discharge permit received on June 30, 2015, 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 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.
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. Discharging mine dewatering wastewater without Plan approval will be subject to
enforcement action. An Operation and Monitoring Plan for your facility must be properly maintained and
any changes submitted to the Washington Regional Office for approval. Contact the Washington
Regional Office at [phone] for more information about the approval process.
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 Washington Regional Office at (252) 946-
6481 to determine if you will be required to submit an application for a State Stormwater permit.

Subject: RE: NOI: for NCG020888 Peak Branch Construction
Rick,
I feel that because I asked, in May of 2014, for someone from the Raleigh Central office staff to come into the
Washington Region to assist/demonstrate what is involved in a NCG020000 review in a mine and since no one
has made the trip, Now would be an excellent opportunity to gather for instruction. I it about a 1.5 hr drive
from Raleigh.

Subject: NOI for NCG020888 Peak Branch Construction
Dear Pat McClain:
Hello and good day,
Please review the attached NOI application. After your review, please respond with any recommendations for
issuance of the permit. Your recommendation to issue the permit serves as your acknowledgement that (1) the facility
is located in your region, (2) that there are no current complaints outstanding about the facility that have not been dealt
with, and (3) that the facility may ultimately be inspected by the regional staff. I've also attached a scanned copy of the
NOI and a location map for your review. I am sending the site plans by mail separately.
COC # Facility Location City/County
NCGO20888 Peak Branch Construction—Tingen Mine Near 1108 Kingold Blvd Snow Hill/Greene
No Facility Address was given, but the physical location says the haul road is about 500' from the intersection of Hwy
258 and Hwy 58 (Kingold Blvd) and Google maps confirms the location. If you need any more info, please give me a call
or email. If you could send me your review or recommendation to issue the permit by 08/06/2015, I'd appreciate it, so I
can issue their COC.

Thanks, and have a great day.

In accordance with the application for this mining permit, which is hereby approved by the
Department of Environment and Natural Resources, hereinafter referred to as the Department,
and in conformity with the approved Reclamation Plan attached to and incorporated as part of
this permit, provisions must be made for the protection of the surrounding environment and for .
reclamation of the land and water affected by the permitted mining operation. This permit is
expressly conditioned upon compliance with all the requirements of the approved Reclamation
Plan. However, completed performance of the approved Reclamation Plan is a separable
obligation, secured by the bond or other security on file with the Department, and may survive
the expiration, revocation, or suspension of this permit.
This permit is not transferable by the permittee with the following exception: If another
operator succeeds to the interest of the permittee in the permitted mining operation, by virtue
of a sale, lease, assignment or otherwise, the Department may release the permittee from the
duties imposed upon him by the conditions of his permit and by the Mining Act with reference
to the permitted operation, and transfer the permit to the successor operator, provided that
both operators have complied with the requirements of the Mining Act and that the successor
operator agrees to assume the duties of the permittee with reference to reclamation of the
affected land and posts a suitable bond or other security,
in the event that the Department determines that the permittee or permittee's successor is not
complying with the Reclamation Plan or other terms and conditions of this permit, or is failing
to achieve the purposes and requirements of the Mining Act, the Department may give the
operator written notice of its intent to modify, revoke or suspend the permit, or its intent to
modify the Reclamation Plan as incorporated in the permit. The operator shall have right to a
nearing at the designated time and place on any proposed modification, revocation or
suspension by the Department. Alternatively and in addition to the above, the Department
may institute other enforcement procedures authorized by law.

sedimentation control measures may be installed within it), an undisturbed buffer (no disturbance
within the buffer whatsoever), or a combination of two, depending upon the site conditions. Note
that all buffers must be located within the mining permit boundaries.
How wide a buffer will be maintained between any mining activity and any mining permit boundary
or right-of-way at this site? A minimum buffer of 25 feet is recommended, although a wider buffer
may be needed depending on site conditions. Show all buffer locations and widths on the mine
map(s).
A 25' unexcavated buffer zone will be maintained between the mining activity (proposed
excavation area) and the permit boundary.

b. A minimum 50 foot wide undisturbed buffer will be required between any land disturbing activities
within the mining permit boundaries and any natural watercourses and wetlands unless smaller
undisturbed buffers can be justified. Depending on site conditions, a buffer wider than 50 feet may
be needed.
How wide an undisturbed buffer will be maintained between any land disturbing activities within the
mining permit boundaries and any natural watercourses and wetlands at this site? Show all buffer
locations and widths on the mine map(s).
A 50' undisturbed buffer is not needed because the permit boundary is more than 50' away
from any natural watercourses or wetlands.
b. a. Describe methods to prevent landslide or slope instability adjacent to adjoining permit boundaries
during mining. Minimum 2 horizontal to 1 vertical slopes or flatter for clayey material and
minimum 3 horizontal to 1 vertical slopes or flatter for sandy material are generally required, unless
technical justification can be provided to allow steeper slopes.
Provide a 3 horizontal to 1 vertical or flatter slope from the edge of the unexcavated buffer
zone to the water line.
