Dear Mr. Slade:
We received your application for an NPDES discharge permit on July 18, 2016. To continue processing
your application, we need additional information.
Most of the information requested below either has been omitted or not accurately shown on your Mining
site plan,
• The application says 50' stream buffers are included on the site but only a 25'buffer is shown on
the plans. Please correct the inconsistency.
► Please show all buffers on the site plans.
• Question 7 from the application does not show an SIC code.
• Clearly indicate stormwater and/or mine dewatering outfalls/discharge points on the Mining site
plan.
• Please clearly show on the site plan the location of the dewatering ditch.
► Show the location and detail of the dewatering pond.
• Indicate on the site plan the location and size of best management practices for stormwater
control.
► According to the permit, the "permittee shall develop and implement a Stormwater Pollution
Prevention Plan". The understanding is that the plan is developed and in place before mining
begins. The answer supplied in the application states "A SPPP will be initiated when mining
begins" which does not indicate that a plan is being developed. Please develop your SPPP for
your site.
► Question 36 in the application was answered incorrectly. Please indicate if any wastewater
facilities onsite would only overflow during rainfall rg eater than the 10-yr, 24 hr. storm instead of
more frequently.
As indicated on the Final Checklist, the following items also need to be included on the site plan:
• Topographical lines
• Receiving waters
• A line drawing of the water flow through the facility or a block flow diagram.

STORMWATER PERMITUNIG FLOW PLAN
We have submitted a mining permit. Presently we are revising the permit
as shown on the site plan map enclosed.
Our plans are to mine the site in 3 sections (A, B, & C) as shown on the site
map. We will surface mine the first 8 feet. This will occur during the winter
or wetter periods. During the summer or drier periods of the year we plan
to mine 8 -- 25 feet.
To handle the surface water we will dig a canal around 85% of the
perimeter of the mine site to a depth of 25 feet. We will set up a pump
system at the apex of site A, B, & C. This will be equipped with electricity
and a pump (Zoeller Model 153 Sump Pump with maximum of 77 gallons
per minute).
Any excess water will be pumped into the pond adjacent to the mine. If
overflow occurs it will flow into a secondary sedimentation pond. This is
lined with rocks and has two check dams to control any flow. The
secondary sedimentation pond will allow for sampling prior to discharge. If
the water is clear it will be allowed to flow into the open ditch and flow
towards Gar Gut.
