Dear Mr. Phillips:
In accordance with your application for a discharge permit received on September 21, 2016, 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.
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 nol combined with mine
dewatering water), you will be required to adhere to the conditions in this permit for stormwater
discharges.
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.

Discharge Points, Receiving Waters & Wetlands:
19) Receiving waters:
What is the name ofthe body or bodies ofwater (creek, stream, river, lake, etc.) that the facility stomiwater
and/or wastewater discharges w]I] end up in? adjacent wetland
To find the waterbody, please see the "MAPS" tab on http:llportal.ncdenr.org/web/wq for a map of NC
Surface Waterbody Classifications.
Receiving water classirication(s) for the waters:
Ifthe site will discharge to a separate storm sewer system, name the operator ofthe separate storm sewer
system (e.g. City of Raleigh municipal storni sewer).
Discharge of wastewater to receiving waters classified as WS-11 through WS-V, or SA, must be
approved by the Division of Water Resources (DWR) or Division of Marine Fisheries
(DMF). DEMLR cannot grant coverage under NCG020000 without that approval. Also be advised that
no new discharges of wastewater are permitted in receiving waters classified as WS-1 or
freshwater ORW. Wastewater discharges to saltwater ORW will not be approved under General Permit
NCG02 but may be eligible for an individual permit.

❑ Yes, Trout jr)
❑ Yes, includes "+" or °@"
21) Will this mine site discharge wastewater or stormwater to waters classified as Shellfish (SA) waters?
X No
❑ Yes, SA*
*For questions 19-20, be advised that the NCG02 General Permit limits the discharge volume of total combined
wastewaters to 50 percent of the receiving water in -stream flow under 7Q10 conditions in HOW waters (PNA and
SA waters are considered HOW by definition). You may be required to contact USGS to obtain a 7Q10 flow.
22) Will this mine site discharge wastewater or stormwater to impaired waters, or to waters with an
approved "Total Maximum Daily Load" (TMDL)?
To find impaired waters, please see the "Impaired Waters" map on the "MAPS" tab on
http:llportal.ncdenr.orglweb/wq.
To find approved TMDLs in North Carolina, please see DWR's Water Planning Section website:

this permit. The POM Pian should be submitted to the appropriate Regional Office and in all cases must be
approved prior to operation.
The plan shall include, but is not limited to: (1) Groundwater monitoring strategies to demonstrate the effect of
pumping and to establish any pumping regime necessary to reduce impacts, and (2) Detailed plans to maintain
surrounding hydrology and respective monitoring to demonstrate compliance. See checklist at the end ofthe
application. Contact the Regional Office for questions specific to your mine.
