PUMPING OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE PLAN
SAND MINE DEWATERING WITH SEDIMENTATION POND
Operator: Davenport Sand Company, Keith Davenport, Manager, PO Box 164, Plymouth, NC 27962
Job Location: Big Davenport Mine, 5319 Mackeys Road, Roper, NC 27970
County: Washington County
Prepared by: Ken Elliott, consulting
Date: August 31, 2021
This plan defines responsibilities for operating, inspecting, and maintaining equipment and structures
used for dewatering the Big Davenport Mine safely, and that dewatering will not degrade or negatively
impact any wetlands or waters of the state.
Description and Current State of the Big Davenport Mine Site and Mining Application:
The Big Davenport Mine is a proposed 20.91-acre sand mine excavation operated by Davenport Sand
Company, Keith Davenport, owner & operator, in an 84.68-acre permit area located at 5319 Mackeys
Road, Plymouth, NC, in Washington County. The permit area is on cultivated, sandy land at 13-ft
elevation, owned by Keith Davenport, located 950 feet south of USFWS designated PF06F Palustrine
forested wetlands at 0-ft elevation between the site and Albemarle Sound, and 150 feet north of a
smaller PF06F wetland at 2-4 foot elevation.
At this time Davenport Sand is applying for a mining permit with the NCDEQ Division of Energy, Mineral
and Land Resources to construct the sand mine and begin operation in October or November 2021. An
NPDES General Permit application for dewatering is being submitted along with CCPCUA registration to
NC DWR for water usage, required in Washington County.
Sand mining will occur in multiple phases, involving combination of three existing small ponds, and
excavation of one new larger pond, described in the attached mining permit application. Phased
dewatering will occur in the current active area of the mine site, potentially utilizing two sedimentation
pond outfalls.
Sand Mine Dewatering:
It will be necessary to dewater the pond as it is being excavated to allow excavating equipment to enter
the area safely and efficiently remove the sand from the pond bottom. This will allow for full permitted
depth of excavation of the pond and proper reclamation of the edges of the pond. It is the intention of
Davenport Sand to only dewater the excavation as needed, which will not entail full-time dewatering.
For excavation purposes, dewatering will occur roughly three to four times per year. The operator plans
to excavate approximately 25,000 cubic yards of sand at a time while dewatering and stockpile it for
later usage. Once the stockpiled sand is depleted, the operator will dewater the excavation again and
remove another quantity of sand.

In addition, the operator plans to utilize a long -reach excavator as much as possible to reach full -depth
excavation and forgo dewatering.
Dewatering Procedure:
During phased operation, Davenport Sand will dewater either three existing small ponds to combine
them, or the proposed newer large pond for full -depth excavation. One of the three existing ponds
currently has an overflow water -height control device installed which will allow the pond to be used as a
sedimentation pond for dewatering. An additional existing pond to the west also has an installed
overflow water -height control device which will allow that pond to be used for sedimentation control
during dewatering in that area. Both overflows drain to one existing ditch leading through the northern
wetlands to Albemarle Sound. Operator plans to dewater approximately 324,000 gallons per day as
needed.
Wetlands Protection:
Removing water from the excavation using a sedimentation pond with overflow ditch is a valid
dewatering method for this size pond. The excavation can be dewatered quickly, and water removed
from the excavation will be used to uniformly hydrate adjacent wetlands.
Once dewatered, excavation activity will be focused on removing sand as quickly as possible in order to
shorten the periods of dewatering. This will allow groundwater level in the pond to return to normal as
soon as possible to lessen possible impacts to adjacent wetlands, once dewatering ceases.
Groundwater Control:
Groundwater levels are not expected to impact areas outside of the immediate excavated dewatering
area. The closest residence to excavation is the owner's residence located 210 feet away, with the next
closest residence located 1950 feet from excavation. The area is served by Washington County Water
System.
Sedimentation and Erosion Control:
Davenport Sand will maintain a 25-ft wide unexcavated buffer on the north and west sides of excavation
activity and a 40-ft wide unexcavated buffer on the east and south sides. No undisturbed buffers are
necessary due to distance from nearby wetlands.
All erosion and sedimentation will remain inside the permit area. The operator will construct and
maintain an 8-ft wide x 2-ft tall grass -covered sand berm around the perimeter of the current affected
area of the excavation during all phases of operation, inside the unexcavated buffer. Stormwater falling
inside the active mining area will be directed to drain into the excavation.

Maintaining the Dewatering Equipment and Erosion Control Measures:
Inspections and maintenance are required to obtain the intended function of safely dewatering the sand
mine, and to maintain the life of any nearby wetlands or waters of the State. Items to inspect and
maintain during the anticipated 10-year life of the mine dewatering permit are:
• Inspect embankments, berms and appurtenant structures, and repair as needed.
• Monitor overflow ditches for damage or stoppage from beaver activity, repair as needed.
• Repair any damage to vegetated areas or berms with compacted earth fill, reshaping, sodding,
reseeding, and mulching as needed.
• Promptly repair all leaks in delivery facilities by replacing valves, fittings, gaskets, and worn or
damaged parts.
• Maintain all screens, filters, valves, timers, and other electrical and mechanical equipment in
good operating condition, following manufacturer's recommendations
Monitoring the Dewatering Process and Effects of Dewatering:
Analytical and qualitative monitoring of mine dewatering wastewater will be in accordance with the
NCG020000 permit, as follows:
• All excavated ponds in the Big Davenport Mine permit area will be inspected daily by the
operator to identify any abnormal conditions.
• All berms and erosion control structures will be inspected for damages monthly and within 24
hours after every storm event greater than 1.5 inches, and all structures will be repaired
immediately.
• Special inspections will be conducted immediately following severe storms, vandalism, and
other significant events.
• Dewatering process will be inspected daily during periods of dewatering the excavation.
• Rain gauge data will be collected by monitoring local rain gauge data monthly and after each
rain event.
Wetlands Monitoring:
Wetlands are located northward and southward of the proposed Big Davenport Mine site. Level 1
wetlands landscape assessment by US Fish & Wildlife Service indicate one type of wetlands on the Big
Davenport parcel:
• Semi -permanently flooded, Palustrine scrub/shrub deciduously forested wetlands.
Level 2 wetlands assessment has not been performed on the site, due to 935-ft distance from northern
wetlands and 150-ft distance from southern wetlands. Overflow water from dewatering activity will
enter northern wetlands through existing ditch draining to Albemarle Sound. Operator will monitor
drainage ditch weekly to ensure presence of water in the ditch at all times.

Records
Data will be collected as follows:
• Visual monitoring of adjacent wetlands and farmland for potential dehydration during mining or
dewatering activities will take place weekly. Solutions to any degradation caused by any mining
activity will include alteration of dewatering process. DWQ will be consulted as needed;
alterations to process will be recorded.
• Elliott Consulting will maintain the following records in a permanent file at the Elliott Consulting
office at PO Box 112, 202 Elliott Road, Aydlett, NC 27916: a record of all significant actions
taken; as -built drawings; permits; analytical results from sampling; and related material. Copies
of all inspections, monitoring reports and lab analyses shall be provided to NCDWQ on a regular
basis and as requested.
BMP Conditions
• The permittee will utilize best management practices to ensure that dewatering the Big
Davenport Mine will not degrade or negatively impact any wetlands or waters of the State.
BMP's will include:
o All berms and erosion control and sedimentation control structures will be inspected for
damages monthly and within 24 hours after every storm event greater than 1.5 inches,
and all structures will be repaired immediately.
o Temporary gravel construction entrance will be maintained at foot of mine access road
at intersection with Mackeys Road.
o Operator will maintain riprap outfall protection on both overflow drainage ditches
downstream of sediment ponds.
o Groundcover will be established on all sections of the permit area when not in use by
mining activities.

control structure to be maintained in the north berm of the Pond A and Pond E sedimentation ponds at the Big Davenport
Mine. Overflow to be directed down stabilized ditch to nearby blue -line stream, eventual outflow to Albemarle Sound.

PURPOSE
To convey water from one elevation to a lower elevation within, to, or from a water conveyance system, such as a ditch,
channel, canal, or pipeline designed to operate under open channel conditions. Typical structures: drops, chutes,
turnouts, surface water inlets, head gates, pump boxes, and stilling basins (NRCS). This water management system will
be used to maintain a maximum water surface elevation in the sedimentation ponds at the Sig Davenport Mine, Roper,
NC. Sedimentation pond is a part of the dewatering management system of the Big Davenport Mine, used to remove
settleable matter and turbidity from mine dewatering wastewater.
CONSTRUCTION
Structure consists of 26' x 3' horizontal galvanized steel culvert running under the sedimentation pond berm. A vertical 6'
half pipe 52" x 30" is attached on the north end of the culvert with stacked flash boards allowing adjustable height of the
water level in the sedimentation pond. Water flows over the flash boards and into the discharge pipe and down the rip -rap
stabilized ditch.
Overflow ditch is lined with riprap for 20 feet down its length. Existing slopes adjacent to the culvert are heavily grassed
with natural grass and weeds with no erosion present.
MAINTENANCE
Structures will be checked and necessary maintenance, including removal of debris, shall be performed after major
storms and at least semi-annually.

Riprap lined apron located at end of mine dewatering overflow pipes (2) to prevent scour and
undermining in existing ditch, and to absorb the impact of the water flow and reduce the velocity to
non -erosive levels, before flow reaches wetlands.
Riprap Apron Size: Overflow pipe discharges directly into well-defined channel. The apron will extend
across the channel bottom and up the channel banks to the top of the bank. Length of apron will be 20-
feet downstream to maintain velocity control of maximum 2.0 feet per second.
Grade: Apron will have zero grade and no overfill at end of apron.
Alignment: Apron will be straight throughout entire length if possible. If curve is necessary to align the
apron with the receiving channel, the curve will be located in the upstream section of the riprap.
Materials: Riprap will consist of a well graded mixture of NCDOT Class A (2" to 6") stone or slag.
Thickness: Minimum thickness of riprap will be 1.5 times the maximum stone diameter.

Filter: Operator plans to install a layer of heavy duty silt fence filter cloth between the riprap and the
underlying soil to prevent soil movement into or through the riprap. Filter cloth will extend to the top of
both channel banks, and edges will overlap 12 inches. Upstream end will be buried 12 inches and
downstream end will be buried if necessary.
Maintenance: inspect riprap outlet structures weekly and after significant rainfall events to see if any
erosion around or below the riprap has taken place, or if stones have become dislodged. Repair all
damage immediately. Maintain all vegetation adjacent to the channel in healthy condition to prevent
scour or erosion during out -of -bank flow. Control weeds and brush growing in the riprap by cutting.

Temporary Seeding Details
Practice Standards and Specifications 6.10
Big Davenport Mine
Roper, NC
Washington County
Definition: Planting rapid -growing annual grasses, small grains, or legumes to
provide initial, temporary cover for erosion control on disturbed areas.
Purpose: To temporarily stabilize denuded areas that will not be brought to final
grade for a period of more than 21 calendar days.
Temporary seeding controls runoff and erosion until permanent
vegetation or other erosion control measures can be established.
Planning Considerations: Temporary seeding provides protection for no more than 1 year, during
which time permanent stabilization should be initiated.
Specifications: Complete grading before preparing seedbeds, and install all necessary erosion
control practices. If soils become compacted during grading, loosen them to a
depth of 6-8 inches.
SEEDBED PREPARATION
Good seedbed preparation is essential to successful plant establishment. A good
seedbed is well pulverized, loose, and uniform.
Liming —Apply lime according to soil test recommendations. Apply limestone
uniformly and incorporate into the top 4-6 inches of soil. Soils with a pH of 6 or
higher need not be limed.
Fertilizer —Base application rates on soil tests. Incorporate into the top 4-6
inches of soil. If a hydraulic seeder is used, do not mix seed and fertilizer more
than 30 minutes before application.
Surface Roughening —Groove or furrow slopes steeper than 3:1 on the contour
before seeding.
PLANT SELECTION
Select an appropriate species or species mixture for seeding in late winter and
early spring.

SEEDING
Evenly apply seed using a cyclone seeder (broadcast), drill, cultipacker seeder,
or hydroseeder. Hand broadcasting is not recommended because of the
difficulty in achieving a uniform distribution. Small grains should be planted no
more than 1 inch deep, and grasses and legumes no more than 1/2 inch.
MULCHING
The use of an appropriate mulch will help ensure establishment under normal
conditions, and is essential to seeding success under harsh site conditions. If the
area being mulched is subject to concentrated waterflow, as in channels,
anchor mulch with netting.
Maintenance: Reseed and mulch areas where seedling emergence is poor, or where
erosion occurs, as soon as possible. Do not mow. Protect from traffic as
much as possible.
