Subject: Stormwater Permit Rescission
Cedar Creek Mine, Certificate of Coverage NCG020778
Sampson County
Dear Mr. Hamilton:
Pat McCrory, Governor
John E. Skvarla, III, Secretary
Based on observations made on December 10, 2013 at the Cedar Creek Mine located on Gen Boykin Ave in Sampson
County, North Carolina, it has been determined that coverage under the NCG020000 General Stormwater Permit for
Mining Activities may be rescinded. Specifically, the channel and associated sediment basins that were installed as
erosion and sedimentation control measures appeared to have a base flow and lead to a rock weir where sampling of
stormwater and/or process wastewater discharges could not reasonably be collected,
Enclosed is a copy of the Rescission Request Form to be completed and submitted to the Stormwater Permitting Program
at the address on the bottom of the form. If you have any questions or need assistance in completing the form, please
contact me at 910-433-3394 or by e-mail at [e-mail].

RE: Cedar Creek Mine
Permit No. 82-22
Sampson County
Cape Fear River Basin
Dear Mr. Hamilton:
Your application for renewal and modification of the above referenced mining permit has
been approved. The modification is bD increase the -permitted acreage to 25.3 acres and the
affected acreage at this site to 11. I acres. This modification includes the addition of the
haullaccess road within the permitted boundary and a reduction of required buffers to 10 feet
unexcavated along all boundaries with your owri property. A 30 foot undisturbed buffer is still
required along the southern mining permit boundary: In addition, the planned reclamation of
this site'has been changed from a lake to regrading and revegetating all disturbed areas. A
copy of the renewed and modified permit is enclosed. _The new expiration date is January 5,
2021.
The conditions in the renewed and modified permit were based primarily upon the initial
application. Modifications were made as indicated by the renewal and modification requests
and as required to insure compliance with The Mining'Act of 1971. 1 would like to draw your
particular attention to the following conditions where minor additions or changes were made:
Operating Condition Nos. 4B, 5, 9A and 9B and Reclamation Conditions 1, 2A and 213.
G.S. 74-65 states that the issuance of a mining permit does not supersede or otherwise
affect or prevent the enforcement of any zoning regulation or ordinance duly adopted by an
incorporated city or county or by any agency or department of the State of North Carolina.
As a reminder, your permitted acreage at this site is 25.3 acres and the amount of land
you are allowed to disturb is 11.1 acres.

Please also be aware that your Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan Approval for
the single source borrow site (Project No. SAMPS-2010-004) shown on the Mining Map
received by the Land Quality Section on June 22, 2010 was issued by the Fayetteville
Regional Office on March 19, 2010. One requirement of a single source borrow exemption to
the Mining Act is that the excavation or grading is completed within one year. Please note that
if you wish to continue excavating this site after March 19, 2.011, you will need to have this
area covered under your mining permit. This action would require a permit modification and
associated fee. A modification checklist is enclosed for your review if you wish to incorporate
the approved single source borrow site into your mine permit.
Furthermore, any increase in your proposed affected acreage through a modification
would likely result in an increase in your bond. Should you choose to acquire additional 3`d
party estimates for reclamation costs, a much more detailed proposal would need to be
submitted to this office. This would need to include grading costs per acre,. amendments (linge
and fertilizer) cost per acre, mulching costs per acre, any seedbed prep, seeding costs per
acre, etc.
Please review the renewed and modified permit and contact Ashley Rodgers, Assistant
State Mining Specialist, at [phone] should you have any questions concerning this
matter.

Thanks for the maps. The fat/long on their NOI is slightly different from the coordinates on the USGS map that you/they
provided. Based on the lat/long on the NO1, the site would be a little further northeast between the Sampson County
Airport and the UT to Great Coharie Creek where there is a small blue line stream. If the mine site is where the plateau is
located and stormwater drains due north, then there does appear to be a UT coming from a large pond to the east and
flowing west toward Great Coharie Creek.
There doesn't appear to be in any wetlands in the area. The NOI states only 1 stormwater outfall and no dewatering or
process wastewater discharges. The FRO has no objections to issuance of permit coverage.

Mike,
Looking at the USGS map there doesn't appear to be any blue lines. It is on kind of a plateau that falls off pretty.sharp to
the west before getting to Great Coharie Creek. They state that it discharges to a UT of Great Coharie Creek, but based
on the USGS map and our GIS data, there is not a UT in/near the mine. I've attached a few maps.
I did call the engineer about it- I asked several times whether they were or wo_uld.be dewatering, and he insisted they
would not, The bottom of the pit is at the top elevation of the sediment basin with a rock dam.
Let me know what you think.

notice in the NOI it describes the grassed channel BMP as having groundwater base flow and based on the lat/long, the
mine site appears that it might be near a small blue line stream. Did you get any maps showing the mine boundary? I
want to make sure they are not using waters of the state as their BMP or outfall ditch.

Please see NO] attached.
We have received an application for coverage of an existing facility under NCG 02 from Ralph Hamilton. The facility,
Cedar Creek Mine, drains to Great Coharie Creek (class C; Sw) in Clinton (Sampson County). It is located off of Boykin
Bridge Rd, south of Clinton, about 100 ft south of Boykin Drive. Google shows the haul road as Annie Bell Ln. No
dewatering, vehicle maintenance or haz waste. Their DLR permit expired and the renewal is almost complete; they are
waiting on the bond, Does the FRO have any concerns about issuing this facility a COC for this general permit once the
DLR permit is issued?

NCDOT borrow pits are covered under NCS000150
The following discharges are covered by NPDES general permit NCG520000 instead of NCG020000:
• Point source discharges of stormwater and wastewater from in -stream sand mining operations (i.e., sand
dredging or dipping operations)
For new mining sites that require an authorization to construct (A TC) wastewater treatment facilities: This
NOI is also an APPLICATION FOR an ATC for new wastewater treatment facilities. ATC requests must be
submitted at least 90 days prior to construction'.
For existing mining sites that require an Authorization to Operate (A TO) wastewater treatment facilities.
This NOI is also an APPLICATION FOR an ATO for wastewater treatment facilities in place.
Constructions modification, or installation of any new treatment components at an exisygq site requires an
ATC. (If the site is already covered by NCG020000, the ATC request may be submitted without an NOI).
Some wastewater treatment facilities used to treat or recycle wastewater at mining sites will require an ATC rp for
to construction per 15A NCAG 2H _0138, Please seethe NCG020000 General Permit for details about which
treatment facilities require an ATC (summarized in Table .1 below). The authorization to construct or continue
to operate will be issued at the same time as'the Certificate of Coverage (COC) for the NCG02 permit. Design of
treatment facilities must comply with requirements of 15A NCAC 2H .0138 8 .0139.
Construction of wastewater treatment facilities subject to the ATCIATO requirements in the NCG02 permit
at new or existing mining sites requires submission of three (3) sets of plans and specifications signed
