Pumping Operation & Monitoring Plan
BABSON SAND MINES
PUMP SPECIFICATIONS
The selected pump will be the following:
• 4" Godwin Diesel
MONITORING OF WETLAND AREAS
Sediment discharge sampling per General Permit No. NCG020000
Representative Sampling
Samples collected and measurements taken, as required herein, shall be characteristic
of the volume and nature of the permitted discharge. Analytical sampling shall be
performed during a measurable storm event. Samples shall be taken on a day and time
that is characteristic of the discharge. All samples shall be taken before the discharge
joins or is diluted by any other waste stream, body of water, or substance. Monitoring
points as specified in this General Permit shall not be changed without notification to
and approval of the Permit Issuing Authority [40 CFR 122.41(j)].
Recording Results
For each measurement or sample taken pursuant to the requirements of this
General Permit, the permittee shall record the following information [40 CFR
122.41]:
• The date, exact place, and time of sampling or measurements;
• The individual(s) who performed the sampling or measurements;
• The date(s) analyses were performed;
• The individual(s) who performed the analyses;
• The analytical techniques or methods used; and
• The results of such analyses.
Flow Measurements
Where required, appropriate flow measurement devices and methods
consistent with accepted scientific practices shall be selected and used
to ensure the accuracy and reliability of measurements of the volume of
monitored discharges.
Test Procedures
Test procedures for the analysis of pollutants shall conform to the EMC regulations

published pursuant to NCGS 143-215.63 et. seq, the Water and Air Quality Reporting
Acts, and to regulations published pursuant to Section 304(g), 33 USC 1314, of the
Federal Water Pollution Control Act, as Amended, and Regulation 40 CFR 136.
To meet the intent of the monitoring required by this General Permit, all test procedures
must produce minimum detection and reporting levels and all data generated must be
reported down to the minimum detection or lower reporting level of the procedure. If no
approved methods are determined capable of achieving minimum detection and
reporting levels below the General Permit discharge requirements, then the most
sensitive (method with the lowest possible detection and reporting level) approved
method must be used.
Representative Outfall
If a facility has multiple discharge locations with substantially identical stormwater
discharges that are required to be sampled, the permittee may petition the Director for
representative outfall status. If it is established that the stormwater discharges are
substantially identical and the permittee is granted representative outfall status, then
analytical sampling requirements may be performed at a reduced number of outfalls.
Records Retention
Visual monitoring shall be documented and records maintained at the facility along with
the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP). Copies of analytical monitoring
results shall also be maintained on-site or be available electronically to a DEMLR
inspector upon request. The permittee shall retain records of all monitoring information,
including
• All calibration and maintenance records
• All original strip chart recordings for continuous monitoring instrumentation
• Copies of all reports required by this General Permit, including Discharge
Monitoring Reports (DMRs) and eDMR or other electronic DMR report
submissions
• Copies of all data used to complete the Notice of Intent to be covered by this
General Permit
These records or copies shall be maintained for a period of at least 5 years from the
date of the sample, measurement, report or Notice of Intent application. This period may
be extended by request of the Director at any time [40 CFR 122.41].
Inspection and Entry
The permittee shall allow the Director, or an authorized representative (including an
authorized contractor acting as a representative of the Director), or in the case of a
facility which discharges through a municipal separate storm sewer system, an
authorized representative of a municipal operator or the separate storm sewer system
receiving the discharge, upon the presentation of credentials and other documents as
may be required by law, to:
• Enter upon the permittee's premises where a regulated facility or
activity is located or conducted, or where records must be kept under
the conditions of this General Permit;

• Have access to and copy, at reasonable times, any records that must
be kept under the conditions of this General Permit;
• Inspect at reasonable times any facilities, equipment (including
monitoring and control equipment), practices, or operations regulated
or required under this General Permit; and
• Sample or monitor at reasonable times, for the purposes of assuring
permit compliance or as otherwise authorized by the Clean Water
Act, any substances or parameters at any location [40 CFR
122.41(i)].
Discharge Monitoring Reports
Samples analyzed in accordance with the terms of this General Permit shall be
recorded on Discharge Monitoring Report (DMR) forms provided by the Director or
submitted electronically to the appropriate authority using an approved electronic DMR
reporting system (e.g., eDMR). Annual Summary DMRs shall be delivered to the
Division (Central Office) no later than March 1 of each year (See 2. of this section).
In addition, any samples analyzed in accordance with the terms of this permit that
violate a wastewater effluent limit or exceed a stormwater benchmark value shall be
submitted to the Division Regional Office on a DMR form and delivered to the Division
Central Files no later than 30 days from the date the facility receives the sampling
results from the laboratory. DMR forms are available on the Division's website
(http://portal.ncdenr.org/web/ir/npdes-stormwateE). Regardless of the submission
method (paper or electronic), submittals shall be delivered to the Division, or
appropriate authority, according to the provisions above.
When no discharge has occurred from the facility during the report period, the permittee
is required to submit a discharge monitoring report, within 30 days of the end of the
specified sampling period, giving all required information and indicating "NO FLOW' as
per NCAC T15A 02B .0506.
If the permittee monitors any pollutant more frequently than required by this General
Permit using test procedures approved under 40 CFR Part 136 and at a sampling
location specified in this General Permit or other appropriate instrument governing the
discharge, the results of such monitoring shall be included in the data submitted on the
DMR.
The permittee shall record the required qualitative monitoring observations on the SDO
Qualitative Monitoring Report form provided by the Division and shall retain the
completed forms on site. Qualitative monitoring results should not be submitted to the
Division, except upon DEMLR's specific requirement to do so. Qualitative Monitoring
Report forms are available at the website above.
Submittinq Reports
Two signed copies of the Annual Summary Discharge Monitoring Report (DMR) shall be
submitted no later than March 1 of each year to DWR Central Files (not DEMLR):

Central Files
Division of Water Resources
(DWR) 1617 Mail Service
Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617
If wastewater monitoring results indicate a wastewater effluent limit violation, a
signed DMR form for that monitoring period shall be sent to the appropriate DEMLR
Regional Office (Attn: Stormwater Permitting Program) no later than 30 days from the
date the facility receives the sampling results from the laboratory.
If stormwater monitoring results indicate a stormwater benchmark value exceedance
or the facility is in Tier 2 monitoring, a signed DMR form for that monitoring period
shall be sent to the appropriate DEMLR Regional Office (Attn: Stormwater Permitting
Program) no later than 30 days from the date the facility receives the sampling
results from the laboratory. All stormwater outfall parameters shall be monitored and
reported for any monitoring period that the facility is following a Tier 2 response.
Addresses for each RO and the counties covered by each RO can be found here:
hftp://portal.ncdenr.org/web/guest/regional-offices. The permittee shall retain the

Indicate Which of the Following Apply:
A. Preliminary Determination
X There appear to be waters including wetlands on the above described property, that may be subject to Section 404 of the
Clean Water Act(CWA)(33 USC 4 1344)and/or Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act(RHA)(33 USC 4 403). The
waters including wetlands have been delineated and the delineation has been verified by the Corps to be sufficiently
accurate and reliable Therefore this preliminary jurisdiction determination may be used in the permit evaluation
process including determining compensatory mitigation For purposes of computation of impacts compensatory
mitigation requirements and other resource protection measures a permit decision made on the basis of a preliminary JD
will treat all waters and wetlands that would be affected in any way by the permitted activity on the site as if they are
jurisdictional waters of the U.S. This preliminary determination is not an appealable action under the Reaulatory
Program Administrative Appeal Process(Reference 33 CFR Part 331). However,you may request an approved JD,
which is an appealable action by contacting the Corps district for further instruction.
_ There appear to be waters, including wetlands, on the above described property, that may be subject to Section 404 of the Clean
Water Act(CWA)(33 USC§ 1344)and/or Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act(RHA)(33 USC§403). The
waters,including wetlands, have been delineated,and the delineation has been verified by the Corps to be sufficiently accurate
and reliable. Therefore this preliminary jurisdiction determination may be used in the permit evaluation process,including
determining compensatory mitigation. For purposes of computation of impacts,compensatory mitigation requirements,and other
resource protection measures,a permit decision made on the basis of a preliminary JD will treat all waters and wetlands that
would be affected in any way by the permitted activity on the site as if they are jurisdictional waters of the U.S. This preliminary
determination is not an appealable action under the Regulatory Program Administrative Appeal Process(Reference 33 CFR Part
331). However,you may request an approved JD,which is an appealable action,by contacting the Corps district for further
instruction.
_ There appear to be waters,including wetlands, on the above described property, that may be subject to Section 404 of the Clean
Water Act(CWA)(33 USC§ 1344)and/or Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act(RHA)(33 USC§403).However,since the
waters,including wetlands, have not been properly delineated,this preliminary jurisdiction determination may not be used in the
permit evaluation process. Without a verified wetland delineation,this preliminary determination is merely an effective
presumption of CWA/RHA jurisdiction overall of the waters,including wetlands, at the project area,which is not sufficiently
accurate and reliable to support an enforceable permit decision. We recommend that you have the
waters of the U.S.,including wetlands, on your property delineated. As the Corps may not be able to accomplish this wetland
delineation in a timely manner,you may wish to obtain a consultant to conduct a delineation that can be verified by the Corps.

1) The Corps of Engineers believes that there may be jurisdictional aquatic resources in the review
area, and the requestor of this PJD is hereby advised of his or her option to request and obtain an
approved JD (AJD) for that review area based on an informed decision after having discussed the

various types of JDs and their characteristics and circumstances when they may be appropriate.
2) In any circumstance where a permit applicant obtains an individual permit, or a Nationwide General
Permit (NWP) or other general permit verification requiring "pre- construction notification" (PCN), or
requests verification for a non-reporting NWT or other general permit, and the permit applicant has
not requested an AID for the activity, the permit applicant is hereby made aware that: (1) the permit
applicant has elected to seek a permit authorization based on a PJD, which does not make an official
determination of jurisdictional aquatic resources; (2)the applicant has the option to request an AJD
before accepting the terms and conditions of the permit authorization, and that basing a permit
authorization on an AJD could possibly result in less compensatory mitigation being required or
different special conditions; (3) the applicant has the right to request an individual permit rather than
accepting the terms and conditions of the NWP or other general permit authorization; (4) the applicant
can accept a permit authorization and thereby agree to comply with all the terms and conditions of that
permit, including whatever mitigation requirements the Corps has determined to be necessary; (5)
undertaking any activity in reliance upon the subject permit authorization without requesting an AID
constitutes the applicant's acceptance of the use of the PJD; (6) accepting a permit authorization (e.g.,
signing a proffered individual permit) or undertaking any activity in reliance on any form of Corps
permit authorization based on a PJD constitutes agreement that all aquatic resources in the review area
affected in any way by that activity will be treated as jurisdictional, and waives any challenge to such
jurisdiction in any administrative or judicial compliance or enforcement action, or in any
administrative appeal or in any Federal court; and (7)whether the applicant elects to use either an AID
or a PJD,the JD will be processed as soon as practicable. Further, an AID, a proffered individual
permit (and all terms and conditions contained therein), or individual permit denial can be
administratively appealed pursuant to 33 C.F.R. Part 331. If, during an administrative appeal, it
becomes appropriate to make an official determination whether geographic jurisdiction exists over
aquatic resources in the review area, or to provide an official delineation of jurisdictional aquatic
resources in the review area, the Corps will provide an AJD to accomplish that result, as soon as is
practicable. This PJD finds that there "may be"waters of the U.S. and/or that there "may be"
navigable waters of the U.S. on the subject review area, and identifies all aquatic features in the
review area that could be affected by the proposed activity, based on the following information:
