Subsurface: Insufficient area for the amount of wastewater generated. d. Other disposal options: None that we are aware. PART IV- EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS The applicant, Barringer Sand, LLC has requested that the subject permit be modified to allow for the use of a single settling basin in lieu of a two-basin design as previously submitted. This will eliminate one of the two outfalls approved under the current permit. The dredged material will be discharged to a stockpile area with the settling/collection basin located downslope from this area. A berm will be constructed to insure that all dredged water is directed into the settling basin. The discharge from the single settling basin will exit the basin through a rock filter and then discharge down the stream bank through a rip rap lined channel. Pending a final technical review by the NPDES Unit, it is recommended that the subject General Permit be m dified as requested. , - e,-,e4-.- -- p.'.4 .e.P2 Signature of Report Pre parer ` Date �g P P 7 ..k- (3 I(--- 1-7301-.?

The modification is the relocation of the collection system or basin that will be used for Erosion Control and for collection of the water during dredging. The other two previously proposed basins will not be used. Approximately 1,300 gallons of water per minute could be discharged during the dredging operation. Eight (8) hours of operations per day would result in 624,000 gallons daily of dredge generated water. The basin can contain the runoff from the 10-year rain event. The basin has a theoretical targeted particle collection size of 12 microns (see Attachment B) during the dredging activities. The predominantly sandy streambed that will be dredged has at least 95% of the material retained on the No. 200 sieve (74-micron particle size). Therefore, the basin collection efficiency is at least 95%. We appreciate serving you on this project. If you have any questions please contact us. Sincerely, FEssio T.

PART IV-EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS The applicant, Barringer Sand, LLC has applied for coverage under the subject GP to dicharge sand mining wastewater and stormwater from two outfalls at a site located on Woodlawn Avenue in Mount Holly. The applicant plans to dredge 2250 linear feet of the receiving stream for sand that will be rough screened to remove woody debris and then sold. The discharge will exit the settling basins through a rock filter and then discharge down the stream bank through a rip rap lined channel. In order to differentiate between the two proposed outfalls, the proposed points of discharge have been marked on the attached map and suggested outfall numbers designated. Pending a final technical review by the NPDES Unit, it is recommended a General Permit be issued as requested. 1. 46 Signature of Report Preparer Date n(0 e',e.-4ee-•—. 7,(70‘ Water Quality ional Supervisor Date h:\dsr\dsr06\johnson I dsr • ' -� 1 ` ' - ` fit \i / r" h � ' col. /vim •d / . �---��- 4''\\• /:% I� Cb i �\'\ , , ( ,, „2 / i�\J i ', j • \\_J/r� � '.� • �d / .., ; , `o • \!n ` 9 \ �jF � / .•.501) '^ / / fib / lsT p7... o• ; / / . \,,y- ''''__1*--._‘‘'..)7__'s -__ •.'/' :: ..• •::/: J II m �� r \ \''--/ci,,• L__ _ - _ � [ ��. / - • / 6.• _ Z_ it .�_` ' 9 D % • :i/_ — I _ �. �,rI ! j(•\ : ) 7 ,\\ • o� Da \_' O li �J 11 II , _/1 I • r�1 p , IL \ �,I itxf � rI rj - o CoICo 1 , 'S/, . 1 • _ C , HAW - � ST � ,' , M � `)Ac.C /:nC `1 o' % e .

Following is a discussion of the project information and our evaluations. GENERAL PROJECT INFORMATION The Johnson Mine No. 1 will consist of dredging about 2250 linear feet of Dutchmans Creek in Mount Holly, North Carolina (See Figure 1, Attachment A). The proposed mine limits consists of 14.95 acres of land with up to 5.0 acres to be disturbed (includes stream dredge limits and stockpile area). The treatment process will be two sediment basins that will also be used for Erosion Control Collection for the stockpile area (see separately submitted mine maps). No processing of the sand on-site will be conducted except screening the wood from the sand. This will be conducted as the material is discharged from the dredge. Alternatively, the may be dry screened to remove the wood. The water transported with the sand during dredging will be the only process water generated.. Approximately 1,300gallons of water per minute could be discharged during the dredging operation. (Only one basin will be operated at any given time.) Eight (8) hours of operation per day would result in 624,000 gallons per day of dredge generated water. Page 2 Johnson Mine No. 1 STREAM LOW FLOW CONDITIONS The discharge from the basin will eventually discharge back to the stream, and no net depletion of stream water will occur. Furthermore, due to the agitation of the water during dredging, the oxygen level in the stream will be increased by these activities. Therefore, the 7Q10 and 30Q2 flow statistics were not verified for this project. BASIN SETTLEMENT TREATMENT EFFICIENCY The predominantly sandy stream bed has at least 95% of the material retained on the No. 200 sieve (74 micron particle size). The basin has been designed (to include consideration of the basin shape) to target the 30 micron size. Therefore, the basin collection efficiency is at least 95% and more likely in the range of 99% (clays and fine silts will not be collected by the basin (See Attachment B for calculations). ALTERNATIVE ANALYSIS From a technical standpoint, allowing the dredge water to be discharged back to the stream is the most appropriate alternative. No net water loss would occur for the stream and the oxygen content would also be increased in the stream. Non-discharge of the water was evaluated as an alternative for this project. The water would be discharged as a spray irrigation system. A subsurface disposal system was not considered as this type of system would cost more than the surface spray irrigation system. Disposal to the local sewer system would not be allowed, because 624,000 gallons of water per day is the equivalent to 1300 — four bedroom homes. Due to tax based considerations, it is unlikely that the local utility would allow the dredge water to be discharged into their sewer system. Attachment C contains the economic analysis for the spray irrigation system. Due to erosion control and collection considerations, the basin is required even with the spray irrigation system. Therefore, the basin is considered at no alternative cost for this evaluation. For the land costs only, the initial costs would be $318,000.00 for the spray irrigation system. Therefore, the sediment basin with discharge back to the stream is the most economical alternative. e2s Page 3 Johnson Mine No. 1 CLOSURE We appreciate serving Barringer Sand on this project.

Smaller areas with slowly permeable soils, steep slcpes, and sparse vegetation should be assigned highest C values. Source:American Society of Civil Engineers The overland flow portion of flow time may be determined from Figure 8.03a. The flow time(in minutes)in the channel can be estimated by calculating the average velocity in feet per minute and dividing the length (in feet) by the average velocity. Step 4. Determine the rainfall intensity,frequency,and duration(Figures 8.03b through 8.03g—source: North Carolina State Highway Commission; Jan. 1973). Select the chart for the locality closest to your location. Enter the "duration"axis of the chart with the calculated time of concentration,Tc.Move vertically until you intersect the curve of the appropriate design storm, then move horizontally to read the rainfall intensity factor,i, in inches per hour. Step 5. Determine peak discharge,Q (ft3/sec),by multiplying the previously determined factors using the rational formula(Sample Problem 8.03a). • 8.03.2 r.. -s r ' ' .. c N 'w • t:. • F777 a't �f r' ., ' t 3� C"�,+ x,�. �^ - � ' + • i�p ,gq, a.�' .,• •S M., !t y l C W }yt�, y A t P i n! 3 ; ▪ '1 '4,�,,y''' ''',�r�Y,} 4 •,Z ",�'gFitf 1yv r "°"!7 1 i + , Sh r. ..,x`�Tve-.--•,.v�, :v••. •'�... �f I ,*: A° ih .n r ; .. i K(+1. ��� .�P d Ci�'• R 'r` ,�• Try ° rs '�ti+,'1 �-, 4 - i r�l an}k3- -.,. • t� r rl a>< • r r'F r �'r sN: b -sy ' �`�s �x ,3b�. : ,lz t'.� . rwi .2'-z °. k "�' ti. s �:,'4> cE?' n�:1 sas'k ` 't!sr`s „ . o''r ��,, a" ���x�a�,,r�t 5 c y� S.....� l y. .a' `` � �., �, i s 7�yi"'�r�£'r� iC� f x t$'Sk,4yE' � tf.� td!' +v+,r K r '.L° 1, ` „cl j - 6 ..l }# -44� 4' `.''
