DEMIR — Stormwater Program Department of Environmental Quality 1612 Mail Service Center Raleigh, NC 27699.1612 EQUINOX balance through proper planning October 25,2022 NCG02 General Stormwater Permit — Bart's Place Mine (Haywood County, NC) Pictorial Narrative of Existing Site Conditions & Operations Mountain Hauling & Stone Company ("MHS") is a North Carolina -based company owned and operated by Regina P. Hunter and Christopher Hunter. Since late 2021, MHS has operated a small surface mining operation on a tract of land owned by William B. Campbell located southwest of Maggie Valley in Haywood County, NC. The larger tract containing the operation is approximately 753 acres; timber harvests (selective cut) have occurred on parts of the tract as recently as 1990 and as far back as the 1800s. Mr. Campbell allows a herd of cattle to roam free-range around the tract and adjacent tracts, which are also owned by Mr. Campbell and his family. The tract is bounded on its southern end by East Fork Campbell Creek, which merges with the west fork to form Campbell Creek proper, which flows along the western extent of the containing tract. The mining operation run by MHS is a non-traditional, cottage -type operation, consisting of the mechanical harvesting of naturally occurring cobbles and boulders, found both at the ground's surface and shallowly buried below it. Approximately 58.6 acres are contained within the Mine Area; about 47 acres are currently variably accessed for harvesting purposes, with another 11 acres that have been identified as a future harvest area. MHS' operation is functionally limited by the presence of rock at the surface; they are not conducting subsurface mining, nor are they blasting bedrock to create smaller boulders. Rock material is harvested from upland slopes beside pre-existing logging roads using one of two small, single cab tracked excavators (Takeuchi TB 145 2007) with a maximum reach of 24 feet. Disturbed areas are reseeded with rye after harvesting is complete. Rock is loaded by the excavator onto two small, tracked trucks (Yanmar C50R-5A), which then haul them to discrete stockpiles at the bottom of the mountain where they are graded, moved & stacked (using a Takeuchi TB290), and staged to be trucked off to buyers. Equipment is refueled with diesel fuel using an in -bed tank in a pickup truck that is not housed onsite. There is one main haul road that provides access through the containing parcel, past the stockpiles, and up the mountain to the apex of the harvesting area. This haul road follows the paths of numerous historic logging roads, many of which extend well outside the active Mine Area. There are numerous stormwater control measures that have been implemented along the haul road to reduce the chance of sediment -laden water reaching jurisdictional water features. These include right-of-way diversions armored with stone and haybales; in -sloping of the roadbed, which feeds stormwater into roadside swales with a series of check -dams; settling basins at the end of the check dams; and staged risers to allow for settling basin overflows into adjacent forested slopes. There is no evidence of failure of any existing stormwater control measures, nor is there evidence of unnatural sedimentation in the waterbodies that are downgradient of the mine area. There are no jurisdictional aquatic resources located within the active mine area. The closest aquatic resource is represented by a small hillside seep (draining to Campbell Creek) that is approximately 98 linear feet from the western edge of the active mine area; furthermore, the haul road acts as a divide and stormwater catchment between the mine area and the seep, and the 98 linear feet between are fully forested with diverse, native vegetation. East Fork Campbell Creek and Campbell Creek are located more than 400 linear feet and as much as 3,000 linear feet from the active mine area. There are no direct routes for stormwater to enter the creeks from the mine site. Furthermore, the aforementioned cattle have direct access to the creek throughout much of its length above and below the mine operation, which has led to fine sediment and fecal inputs.
