Dear Ms. Lucas:
RECEIVE®

DENR-LAND QUALITY
STORMWATER PERMITTING
The purpose of this letter is to provide you and your department the additional information pertaining to
Carolina Sunrock LLC's application for coverage under General Permit NCG02000 as requested during
our meeting on October 23, 2020. We would like to thank you and your department for your time and
discussion of our proposed operational plans pertaining to process water usage/generation/flow, and the
overall anticipated water balance for the facility.
The main issue at the heart of our discussion on October 23, 2020 pertained to the USGS determination
that the 7Q10 ratings of the receiving water bodies is currently zero. Thus, no discharge of process water
is possible due to permit stipulations within the NCG02000. In light of this restriction, Carolina Sunrock
has chosen to re -design its pit dewatering methodology by adding additional water storage capacity
throughout the property in order to store, reuse, or evaporate all generated process water. The proposed
interlocking water retention system allows the proposed facility to move process water throughout the site
with the ability to allow all generated process water to ultimately return to the Pit A for storage.
This system was engineered based upon mean annual rainfall for the area, calculated groundwater
inflows from the hydrogeologic study, consideration of surface water runoff from stormwater divides into
the pits, known operational quarry water usage, and process water loss. In addition, large storm events,
such as the Q25, Q50, and Q100, were also incorporated into the water storage capacity calculations. All
calculations are based on maximum fully developed pits to depths of 150' and 300' below grade to
provide a conservative worst -case scenario for storage of process water. In reality, the potential water
storage needs during the actual development of either pit will be significantly less as each pit will be
mined in phases over many decades until the pits reach this maximum proposed design. (See Table 2)
These conservative calculations yielded the total proposed process water storage capacity of --39 million
gallons. In addition, each process water pond has been designed to provide at least two feet of free
board between the full capacity and the top of each structure's embankment. This free board will also
provide additional storage capacity during major storm events that may occur during the life of the mine
without overtopping the ponds in the event they are full prior to the event.
As demonstrated in the attached Table 2, the proposed process water pond storage capacity of --39
million gallons is greater than the anticipated water inputs when accounting for process water loss for the
ultimate completion of Pit A including the additional free board storage of a potential occurrence of a 100-
year storm event during the life of the Pit A. Thus, we believe we have provided a comprehensive
analysis that shows that our proposed storage pond system will ensure no process water discharge.

It is Carolina Sunrock's intent to fully mine Pit A prior to development in Pit B. Thus, Pit A will provide
additional process water storage capacity of —1.5 billion gallons until Pit A reaches groundwater table
equilibrium and then an additional —324 million gallons after it reaches equilibrium (using its freeboard
storage capacity). All calculated inflow to Pit B is to be pumped to Pit A where it will then be
pumped/distributed as needed across the facility within the closed loop water storage system for process
use. As demonstrated within Table 2, the proposed process water pond storage capacity along with the
storage capacity of Pit A will allow for the storage of all process water during the ultimate completion of
Pit B, including the potential occurrence of a 100-year storm event during the life of Pit B.
In summary, the proposed process water storage pond designs and water handling methodology along
with the phased mine sequence are adequate to provide a zero -process water discharge solution for the
facility. Thank you for the opportunity to address your comments and to supplement our existing NCG02
application currently under review. Please feel free to contact me if you or your department have any
further questions or need clarification.
Thank you for your assistance.
Sincerely,
Carolina Sunrock, LLC

It
All process water discharge rates (cfs (cubic feet per second) must be
50% below the 7Q 10 of the receiving water body.
Definition of 7Q 10
The 7Q 10 is the lowest 7-day average flow that occurs (on average)
once every 10 years.
The 7Q10 for all surrounding water bodies is Zero (Determined by
USGS (July 2020)
Thus No Discharge of process water is possible

Additional Notes
w
Pit A — operating loss for water through 150' pit depth no
additional water storage required
■ Pit B is to be opened at or near the completion of Pit A
■
Pit A — —3.9 million gallons excess water annually at 300' pit
■ Both working pits as demonstrated by our existing facilities to
depth to be stored in onsite pond system for future use or allowed
have multiple working levels, and an Internal working sump
to be evaporated
system providing additional storage capacity and operational
flexibility
■
Pit A has —30 to 60 year life span to reach calculated capacities
at 300' pit depth
■ Pit A - 1,555,355,057 gallon capacity when it reaches
equilibrium post dewatering at a 300 foot depth for the pit
a Pit B
phasing shown on the mine map. Pit A will reach equilibrium in
■
Pit B - —1 1 million gallons excess water annual at 150' pit depth to
—13 years post dewatering (-25' below the natural ground
be stored in onsite pond system for future use or allowed to be
surface) based on the Piedmont Geologic hydrogeological study
evaporated
infiltration rates and precipitation estimate
■
Pit B - —80 million gallons excess water annually at 300' pit depth
■ Remaining Pit A storage capacity post de -watering and
to be stored in combination of onsite pond system and/or Pit A
equilibrium is—324,333,295 gallons to its surface elevation
■
Pit B has —40-80 year life span to reach calculated capacities
■ Groundwater hydraulic conductivity/transmissivity of Pit A to
allow excess annual Pit B water to be absorbed through
infiltration to groundwater within 1.5 years
