PUMPING OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE PLAN
SAND MINE DEWATERING WITH SEDIMENTATION POND
Owner: Lee Graham Hoggard,644 Ledrew Perry Road, Merry Hill, NC 27957
Operator: B.E. Singleton &Sons, Inc.,920 W.Third Street,Washington, NC 27889
Job Location: Lee Hoggard Sand Mine, 142 NC 45 South, Merry Hill, NC 27957,Permit#08-27.
County: Bertie County
Prepared by: Ken Elliott, consulting
Date: February 2, 2024
This plan defines responsibilities for operating, inspecting, and maintaining equipment and structures
used for dewatering the Lee Hoggard Sand Mine safely,and that dewatering will not degrade or
negatively impact any wetlands or waters of the state.
Description and Current State of the Lee Hoggard Sand Mine Site(Permit#08-27)and Mining
Application:
The Lee Hoggard Sand Mine is an existing 12.67-acre sand mine excavation operated by B.E.Singleton &
Sons, Inc.,in a 14.69-acre permit area on a parcel owned by Lee Graham Hoggard,applicant. The mine
is located 1.2 miles northeast of Merry Hill, NC at 142 NC 45 South, and 4.5 miles west of Albemarle
Sound, in Bertie County.The permit area is on cultivated,sandy land at 35-ft elevation,owned by the
applicant, located near an unnamed tributary of Salmon Creek leading to Chowan River.
Currently Mr. Hoggard is applying for a mining permit modification with the NCDEQ Division of Energy,
Mineral and Land Resources to add dewatering to the permit and begin the dewatering operations in
February or March 2024. An NPDES General Permit application for dewatering is being submitted to
NCDEQ and registration for water usage has been submitted to the Division of Water Resources.
Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan is under development and will be implemented upon approval of
the discharge permit application and before dewatering operations begin.
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
the operator to only dewater the excavation as needed,which will not entail full-time dewatering.
For excavation purposes, dewatering will occur intermittently 12-16 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.
Mine dewatering wastewater will be treated before release to the Waters of the State. Use of a
sedimentation pond separate from the excavated mine is a traditional and effective means to remove
sediment from wastewater generated during mine dewatering operations.

Sedimentation Pond Construction and Overflow Discharge:
The operator has constructed a sediment pond inside his existing excavation by blocking off the east end
of the excavation with a sand berm. The berm has a 30-ft wide peak with interior 2:1 slope,effectively
making a separate 0.63-acre pond. At the end of excavation activity,the operator will remove the berm
and incorporate the sediment pond in with the main excavation.
The sediment pond will be located between the proposed excavation site and wetlands 120 feet to the
northwest into which the sediment pond will overflow during dewatering activity.The wetlands drain
1.5 miles to Salmon Creek,then lead 8.4 miles to Chowan River.
Sediment pond water level will be controlled by a half-pipe flash-board water height control device
installed in the southwest corner of the sediment pond berm.This control structure will allow water to
flow across the flash boards into a 25'long x 15"wide buried PVC discharge pipe running westward
through the berm 20 feet to an outlet discharging to a 25-foot-long riprap-protected constructed ditch,
leading 50 feet to wetlands. From there, discharged water will flow 8.4 miles through Salmon Creek to
Chowan River and Albemarle Sound.
Dewatering Procedure:
The operator will install an 8-inch dewatering pump between the main excavation and sediment pond at
the southwest end of the excavation.Discharged water from the dewatering pump will enter the
sediment pond at its northeast corner and will overflow through a constructed half-pipe flash board
water height control device (construction diagram attached) discharge point located on the southwest
corner of the sediment pond.The discharge point will release clear water through the water-height
control device into the existing discharge ditch draining to wetlands and Salmon Creek.
Water will be pumped from the excavated pond to the sediment pond by the 8-in gasoline-powered
transfer pump operating at idle speed,approximately 1100 rpm. Estimated maximum flow from the
pump will be 8,000 gallons/hour,operating 12 hours per day,0.096-mgd. It is the intention of the
operator to drop the water level in the excavation approximately 20-25 feet below normal ground level
as needed.
Time and distance will allow all sedimentation to occur to acceptable levels before the overflow water
reaches outfall and then the waters of the State.Water will have to travel a minimum of 210 feet to
reach the overflow point which will give enough surface area to allow sufficient sedimentation to occur.
There will be a minimum of 1.5 feet of freeboard between the water surface in the sediment pond and
the top of the sediment pond bank. Stormwater drainage will be unable to enter the sediment area and
damage the sediment pond rates,due to the height of a surrounding 4-ft tall sediment pond berm.

Wetlands Protection:
Removing water from the excavation using a sedimentation pond with overflow is a valid dewatering
method for this size excavation. The pond can be dewatered quickly,and water removed from the pond
will be used to uniformly hydrate adjacent wetlands.
Once dewatered,excavation activity will be focused on removing sand from the pond as quickly as
possible 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 be impacted in areas outside of the immediate excavated
dewatering area. Groundwater levels are expected to remain stable despite dewatering of the
excavation. The excavation site is surrounded on two sides by wetlands with drainage connection to
Salmon Creek.
Groundwater level depletion is not expected to affect any neighboring groundwater wells.The closest
residence to excavation is located 235 feet from the proposed excavation. This residence is located near
wetlands and has a groundwater supply well which is 420 feet deep. There are no other residences
within 500 feet of the excavation. The area is served by Bertie County Water System.
Sedimentation and Erosion Control:
The operator will maintain a minimum 25-ft wide unexcavated buffer on the north,south,east,and
west sides of excavation activity.
All erosion and sedimentation will remain inside the permit area.The operator will construct and
maintain a 10-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 by diversion drains.
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:
• Lee Hoggard Mine will discharge mine dewatering wastewater into Salmon Creek,classified as
C;NSW,Chowan River,classified as B;NSW,and Albemarle Sound, classified as B;NSW.
Discharge water will be analyzed quarterly per requirements of the NPDES permit.
• Discharge water will be sampled quarterly and analyzed for pH,Total Suspended Solids (TSS),
turbidity,and salinity. Samples with benchmark exceedances will require the operator to
increase sampling, per NPDES permit, until sample results are cleared.
• All excavated ponds in the Lee Hoggard 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 damage 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 westward of the Lee Hoggard Mine site. Level 1 wetlands landscape assessment
by US Fish &Wildlife Service indicate two types of wetlands on the Hoggard parcel:
• PFOIA-Temporary flooded,freshwater forested/shrub wetlands.
• PFO6F—Semi-permanently flooded,freshwater forested/shrub wetlands.
Level 2 wetlands assessment has not been performed on the site. Discharge ditches will serve as
hydration devices to help maintain normal groundwater levels. Operator will monitor drainage ditches
weekly to always ensure presence of water in the ditch.
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 the 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.
• Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan and other pertinent documents and records will be
available online for inspection at www.singleton-sp3.com.

DESCRIPTION
A structure in a water management system that conveys water, controls the direction or rate of flow, maintains a desired
water surface elevation or measures water. Water height control structure is standard structure used by agricultural and
horticultural farms in North Carolina to raise or lower water height in ditches and ponds per need (NRCS). Water height
control structure to be installed in the south berm of the sedimentation pond at Lee Hoggard Sand Mine. Overflow to be
directed down stabilized ditch to nearby ground-levelling ditch, eventual outflow to Chowan River and 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 pond at Lee Hoggard Sand Mine, NC 45,
Merry Hill, NC. Sedimentation pond is a part of the dewatering management system of Lee Hoggard Sand 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 pipe to prevent scour and undermining
in discharge 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.

Berm Construction Details
Lee Hoggard Mine
Merry Hill, NC
Bertie County
Narrow-based berm
The narrow-based berm is the most common berm having a top of 2 feet(0.6 m)and side slopes of two
horizontal: 1 vertical.This berm is the most economical to build as it requires the least material.The
steep side slopes of this type of berm eliminate the possibility of working on it with farm machinery.
to,
a- z 4'
NEW BERM EXISTING_
GRADE
Berm Construction
The berm construction comprises of the scraping back of the topsoil from the area where the berm and
storage basin are to be built.A subsoil material, free of stones, rubble, stumps etc. and with at least 10%
clay should be used to construct the berm. The material for the berm may be obtained from the area
behind or in front of the berm location or moved from a borrow pit located elsewhere on the farm. An
earth mover will be required to move material from a pit located a distance away while a bulldozer
would be used if material is in the berm area.
The berm material is to be placed in layers and compacted as each layer is added. After the berm has a
final shape,the sides of the berm should also be compacted.
Emergency Overflow
To provide for larger-than designed peak flows, an overflow system is used, namely:
• "The level-top vegetated berm crest" which provides for very flat berm top so that the water will
overflow along the berm length in a thin layer so as not to create erosion problems.

Sediment Fence (Silt Fence) Construction Details:
Practice Standards and Specifications 6.62
Lee Hoggard Sand Mine
Merry Hill,NC
Bertie County
cM: Atr•
e
A temporary permeable barrier erected on small, disturbed areas to capture sediment from sheet flow. It is made of
filter fabric buried at the bottom, stretched, and supported by steel posts.
Planning: Silt fence will be installed along the perimeter of a 12-ft wide access road when crossing an existing field ditch.
Narrow width of fenced area will allow only shallow pools to form behind fence while promoting deposition of sediment
and preventing sedimentation into adjacent wetlands. Ends of fence will be curled uphill in "J" pattern to prevent end
flow. Stabilized outlets will be provided to protect the fence system and release storm flow that exceeds the design.
Design considerations:Silt fence will be constructed of extra-strength synthetic filter fabric. Height of fence will not
exceed 2 feet above natural ground level, and will be constructed from a continuous roll to minimize joints. All joints
will be fastened at a support post with 4 feet minimum of overlap. Extra-strength filter fabric will be fastened to road
side of steel posts(installed 2 feet deep)every 6 feet(every 8 feet if using standard strength filter fabric with wire mesh
backing) and fastened with wire ties. Trench will be excavated along inside of fence approximately 4 inches wide by 8
inches deep, into which 12 inches of fabric will be placed along the bottom and side of the trench. Trench will be
backfilled and compacted.
Maintenance: Inspect sediment fence every week and after each rainfall. Make any required repairs immediately.
Replace any collapsed, damaged,or decomposed fence promptly. Remove all fencing materials and unstable sediment
deposits and bring the area to grade and stabilize it after the contributing drainage area has been properly stabilized.
