PART IV - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The applicant requests coverage under a General Permit (GP)
for the discharge of return water from a proposed sand dredging
operation to be established on Buffalo Creek where it changes
into Moss Lake in the Broad River Basin. The Lake has seen a
significant portion of its capacity reduced over the last several
years due to an influx of sand, especially in the headwaters
area. The majority of the sand will be removed during the next 5-
10 years. The dredging operation, however, will remain on -site
after the existing sand accumulation has been removed for routine
maintenance dredging. The Army COEs has examined the Lake and has
determined the acceptable limits of dredging that will minimize
wetland impacts.
The design of the proposed dredging cells were prepared
using the Division's "Guidelines for Design, Operation and
Maintenance of Upland Contained Disposal Areas with Return Water"
dated April 12, 1994. As referenced in NCAC 2B .0211(b)(K),
compliance with the State's turbidity standard is considered met
when the WWT facilities or Best Management Practices (BMPs) are
in full compliance with regards to design, installation,
operation and maintenance.
It is recommended that a GP.be issued as requested.

Dear Mr. Bumgardner:
.-ter...-
ED F-=HNR
Your application for a mining permit for the above
referenced mine site has been reviewed. Enclosed is a draft of
the mining permit proposed by the Department. The conditions in
the draft permit were based primarily upon information supplied
in your application with conditions added if necessary to ensure
compliance with The Mining Act of 1971.
The reclamation bond has been calculated for this site using
the information submitted on the mine map dated August 10, 1994
(see attached worksheet). The bond amount for this site is
$19,200.00. For your convenience, I have enclosed a bond form,
an assignment of a savings account form and an irrevocable
standby letter of credit form, The name on the security form
must be the same as the name appearing on the enclosed draft
permit. In addition to one of these alternatives you may, upon
request, substitute a cash deposit.
Please review the draft permit and the reclamation bond
worksheet and contact -this office should you have.any objection
or question concerning the permit conditions.. G.S. 74-51
provides the operator 60 days following the mailing of
application approval notice in which to file the required surety.
The permit will be issued when the required security has
been received. No mining may be conducted until the permit is
issued. G.S. 74-65 states that the issuance of a mining permit
dgo§ np& supersede local zoning regulations. The responsibility
of compliance with any applicable zoning regulations lies with
you.

In accordance with the application for this mining permit, which
is hereby approved by the Department of Environment, Health 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 surrcunding 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 hearing at a 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.
wherever used or referred to in this permit, unless the context
clearly indicates otherwise, terms shall have the same meaning as
supplied by the Mining Act, N.C-.G.S. 74-49.
Exu ration Date
This _permit shah be effective from the date of its issuance
until *, 19*.

Page 3 of 10
This permit shall be subject to the provisions of the Mining Act,
N.C.G.S. 74-46, et. seq., and to the following conditions and
limitations:
V%10Z4VV 0 IRRIMPT41 �•
1. A. Any wastewater processing or mine dewatering shall be
in accordance with the permitting requirements and
rules promulgated by the N.C. Environmental Management
Commission.
B. Any stormwater runoff from the affected areas at the
site shall be in accordance with any applicable permit
requirements and regulations promulgated by the
Environmental Protection Agency and enforced by the
N.C. Environmental Management Commission. It shall be
the permittee's responsibility to contact the Water
Quality Section, Division of Environmental Management,
to secure any necessary stormwater permits or other
approval documents.
2. A. Any mining process producing air contaminant emissions
shall be subject to the permitting requirements and
rules promulgated by the N.C. Environmental Management
Commission.
B. During mining operations, water trucks or other means
that may be necessary shall be utilized ;to prevent dust
from leaving the permitted area.
3. All dredging shall be within the constraints, of the original
lake shoreline.
4. Any mining activity affecting waters of the State, waters of
the U. S., or wetlands shall be in accordance with the
requirements and regulations promulgated and enforced by the
N. C. Environmental Management -Commission and the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers.
5. Only a hydraulic dredge shall be used to excavate material
from the lake bed.-
6. All mining permit boundaries (76.5 acres) shall be
permanently marked at the site on 100 foot intervals unless
the line of sight allows for larger spacing intervals.
7. The following steps shall be taken at this mine site to
ensure safety to boaters and others who may use the section
of the river covered by this mining permit:
A. ' Signs and floating markers/buoys shall be placed along
the dredging area warning lake traffic of -the dredging
operation.

Page 4 of 10
8. The dredge shall operate in the lake only during
daylight hours. When the dredge is in operation in the
lake, the dredge shall at no time be operating closer
than twenty-five feet to the bank. when lake traffic
approaches, the operator shall cease pumping and idle.
If lake traffic is headed around the outlet side of the
dredge, the side where the pontoon supported pipeline
is located, the operator shall exit the pilot house and
flag traffic around to the opposite side of the dredge
(It should be noted that even if lake traffic does
enter the area immediately upstream from the pontoon
supported pipeline, with the dredge idling and not
pumping, the rubber pipe connector sleeves between the
rigid pipes collapse and a canoeist can easily maneuver
over the pipeline and avoid any dangerous situation).
C. Spuds shall be utilized to anchor the dredge as
indicated on the Details Sheet dated August 17, 1994.
If not, an anchor system using anchor blocks within the
lake shall be utilized. The cables extending from the.
dredge to the anchor system in the lake shall extend?
parallel with the flow of the lake and shall be under
water to a depth of at least three feet at the anchor.
A buoy shall be used to mark the location of -the anchor
(Any lake traffic that approaches the anchor would also
be approaching the dredge. Lake traffic should,
therefore, be aware of the larger dredge and steer
clear of the dredge, thus avoiding the anchor).
D. If cables are used to anchor the dredge, the cables
extending from the dredge to the bank shall be up and
out of the water at all times except possibly when one
cable is slackened in anticipation of moving the dredge
using the opposite winch. This technique shall not be
undertaken when there is lake traffic in the area.
With the cables extending upwards to the lake bank, the
cables shall be at least eight (8) feet above the water
level or shall be a minimum of three (3) feet below the
water level and easily avoidable by lake traffic.
Reflective tape streams or appropriate Markers shall
mark the cables.
E. No dredging operations shall be performed at any time
when the level of the lake exceeds three feet above
normal lake level.
F. When the dredge is moored at the side of the lake, all
piping and portions of the dredge shall be tied off
such that no part of the dredge or equipment extends
out from the bank by more than twenty feet.

Page 5 of 10
8. A. Adequate mechanical barriers including but not limited
to diversions, earthen dikes, silt check dams, silt
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 or natural
watercourse in proximity to the affected land.
B. All surface water runoff from the processing, stockpile
and wastepiles at the site shall be diverted to the
proposed erosion and sedimentation control. structures.
C. The Mining Plan, Sheets 1 through 3 of 8, and the
Detail Sheet, 7 of 8, submitted under the cover sheet
dated August 20, 1994 shall be followed with the
following stipulations:
1. The anti -flotation; block small be constructed to a
minimum of 30 inches square.
2. The access road is to be constructed under an
existing approved Sediment and Erosion Control
Plan under the Sedimentation Pollution control. Act
of 1973.
3. The proposed silt fence at the plant area shall be
installed and maintained until the areas up slope
(between the lake and the proposed temporary
diversions) have been stabilized with vegetation
or stone.
D. The proposed boat ramp shall be stabilized with
vegetation and rip -rap or large pieces of concrete,
such as lengths of broken curb and gutter, to prevent
erosion and sedimentation problems from occurring at
said boat ramp.
E. Marker buoys shall be installed at the up stream and
down stream dredging limits prior to initiation of the
dredging activity.
9. Riparian vegetation shall be planted i3nmne4iig.tely to
stabilize any exposed lake banks to prevent continued
erosion of said lake banks.
