PUMPING OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE PLAN
SAND MINE DEWATERING WITH SEDIMENTATION POND
Operator: Tripp Bros., Inc., BobbyJ.Tripp, President
4158 Norris Store Road, PO Box 128,Ayden, NC 28513
Job Location: Alvin Road Mine,SR 1562 Alvin Road,Grimesland, NC 27837
County: Pitt County
Prepared by: Ken Elliott, consulting
Date: July 13,2024
This plan defines responsibilities for operating, inspecting, and maintaining equipment and structures
used for dewatering the Alvin Road 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 Alvin Road Mine Site and Mining Application:
The Alvin Road Mine is a proposed 14.69-acre sand mine excavation to be operated by Bobby J.Tripp,
president of Tripp Bros., Inc.,applicant, in a 41.80-acre permit area,of which 31.10 acres will be
affected, located off SR 1562 Alvin Road, in Grimesland, NC in Pitt County.The permit area is on
cultivated,sandy land at 10-ft elevation,owned by the applicant. The site is located 1.4 miles west of
Chicod Creek,which flows eastward from there 1.6 miles to Tar River,thence 44 miles to Pamlico Sound.
Mr.Tripp is now applying for a mining permit with the NCDEQ Division of Energy, Mineral and Land
Resources to construct the sand mine and begin operation in August or September 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. A Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan is
under development and will be implemented upon approval of the discharge permit application.
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 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, upon need, 12 hours per day, 15 days per
month,at a rate of 96,000 gallons per day. 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 plans to excavate a 1.73-acre sedimentation pond,approximately 20 feet deep, located
185 feet north of the main excavation area for dewatering the main excavation. The sediment pond will
have a 4-ft tall by 22-ft wide berm constructed around the pond perimeter to help maintain dewatering
volume. The pond berms will have a minimum of 1.5 feet of freeboard between the water surface and
the top of the sediment pond bank. The sediment pond will be located adjacent to an existing blue-line-
stream ditch which flows eastward 520 feet to wetlands draining to Chicod Creek.
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.The control structure will allow water to
flow across the flash boards into a 85-ft long x 24-in wide PVC discharge pipe running southward
through the sediment pond berm to an outlet discharging to a 20-foot-long riprap-protected apron in
the blue-line-stream ditch, leading 550 feet to wetlands. From there, discharge water will drain 1.4
miles to Chicod Creek.
Dewatering Procedure:
The operator will install an 8-inch dewatering pump between the main excavation and sediment pond at
the northeast corner of the excavation. Discharged water from the dewatering pump will enter the
sediment pond at its southeast corner and will overflow through a constructed half-pipe flash board
water height control device 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 blue-
line-stream discharge ditch draining to wetlands and Chicod 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 1200 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
applicant to lower the water level in the excavation approximately 20-25 feet below normal
groundwater level as needed.
Time and distance will allow all sedimentation to occur to acceptable levels before the overflow water
reaches its outfall and then the waters of the State. Water will flow a minimum of 360 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 quic y as
possible to shorten the periods of dewatering. This will allow the 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 located 500 feet south of the 1500-acre Tar River wetlands area,
which serves to drain and hydrate the area adjacent to the proposed permit area.
Groundwater level depletion is not expected to affect any neighboring groundwater wells.The closest
residences to excavation are located 620 feet from the proposed excavation,with others further.
Properties along Alvin Road are served by the Pitt County Water System.
Sedimentation and Erosion Control:
The operator will maintain 50-ft wide unexcavated buffers on the north and south sides of excavation
activity,and 100-ft wide unexcavated buffers on the east and west sides. The operator will maintain 50-
ft undisturbed riparian buffers on each side of two blue-line-streams crossing the permit area. Existing
access road crossings of the blue-line-streams will be protected by silt fence along each side of the ditch
crossing.
All erosion and sedimentation will remain inside the permit area.The operator will construct and
maintain a 26-ft wide x 6-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:
• The Alvin Road Mine sedimentation pond will discharge mine dewatering wastewater into
wetlands draining to Chicod Creek, classified as C;NSW, and to Tar River,classified as B;NSW.
• 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 Alvin Road Mine excavation 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 proposed Alvin Road Mine site. Level 1 wetlands landscape
assessment by US Fish &Wildlife Service indicate one type of wetlands near the parcel in question:
• PFO1C—Palustrine deciduous forested seasonally flooded,150 ft east and 385 ft north of
excavation boundary.
• PFO1A—Palustrine deciduous forested temporarily flooded,580 ft north of excavation
boundary.
Level 2 wetlands assessment has not been performed on the site. Discharge ditches and the
sedimentation pond 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 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.tripp-sp3.com.
BMP Conditions
• The permittee will utilize best management practices to ensure that dewatering the Alvin Road
Mine excavation 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 A paved construction entrance will be maintained at intersection of the mine access
road and SR 1562 Alvin Road.
o Operator will maintain riprap outfall protection on the overflow drainage ditch
downstream of sediment pond.
o Groundcover will be established on all sections of the permit area when not in use by
mining activities.

Sediment Fence(Silt Fence) Construction Details:
Practice Standards and Specifications 6.62
Alvin Road Mine
Grimesland, NC
Pitt County
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 pond access road when crossing an existing blue-line-stream
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.

Stone Surface—Use a 6-inch course of"ABC' or"base course" or larger
as specified in NC Department of Transportation Standard Specifications
for Roads and Structures,as needed.
Construction Specifications: 1. Clear roadbed and parking areas of all vegetation, roots,and other
objectionable material.
2. Ensure that road construction follows the natural contours of the
terrain if it is possible.
3. Locate processing areas on naturally flat areas, if they are available.
Keep grades sufficient for drainage, but generally not more than 2-3%.
4. Provide surface drainage, and divert excess runoff to stable areas by
using water bars or turnouts.

S. Keep cuts and fills at 2:1 or flatter for safety and stability and to
facilitate establishment of vegetation and maintenance.
6. Spread a 6-inch course of"ABC' crushed stone evenly over the full
width of the road and smooth to avoid depressions.
7. Where seepage areas or seasonally wet areas must be crossed,
install subsurface drains or geo-textile fabric cloth before placing the
crushed stone.
S. Vegetate all roadside ditches,cuts, fills, and other disturbed areas or
otherwise appropriately stabilize as soon as grading is complete.
9. Provide appropriate sediment control measures to prevent off-site
sedimentation.
Maintenance: Inspect construction roads and parking areas periodically for condition
of surface.Top-dress with new gravel as needed.Check road ditches
and other seeded areas for erosion and sedimentation after runoff-
producing rains. Maintain all vegetation in a healthy,vigorous condition.
Sediment-producing areas should be treated immediately.

Berm Construction Details
Alvin Road Mine
Grimesland, NC
Pitt 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.

I 1
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 is 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 located 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.

Definition: Small stone dam structure with a weir outlet with sediment storage area on the upper side, installed in sand
berm.
Purpose: To reduce erosion in overflow drainage outlet during major rainstorms by reducing velocity of flow, and
provide sediment control.
Siting: To be placed at lower end of sand mine disturbed area perimeter berm (8ft x 3ft sand berm).
Aggregate Size: NC DOT Class B stone lined with NC DOT#5 or#57 stone on upper side.
Construction Specifications: Keep center stone section 6 inches below top of sand berm. Place sediment control stone
minimum lft thick on upstream side of berm at weir. Provide 9ft long stone apron on lower side of berm to flush with
surrounding grade.
Maintenance: Inspect check dams weekly and after significant rainfall and repair immediately if needed. Clean out
limbs, sediment and other debris that could clog the weir. Add stones to check dam to maintain correct height.
Maintain vegetative ground cover on berm, repair berm erosion as needed.

PROFILE
CHECK DAM DETAIL
A rock embankment located to capture sediment in a naturally formed drainage feature. The purpose of a rock dam is
to trap sediment on the construction site, and prevent off-site sedimentation in streams, lakes and drainageways.
Planning: Used where it is desirable to have the top of the structure serve as the overflow outlet. A long weir crest is
designed to keep flow depth shallow and discharge velocity low. Inside face of the dam will be covered with gravel to
reduce rate of seepage so that a sediment pool will form during runoff, draining slowly through the dam.
Design considerations:
• Maximum height—weir elevation 6 feet above ditch grade.
• Embankment—top width 2 feet minimum, side slopes maximum 2:1 upstream slope, maximum 3:1 downstream
slope. Rock abutments will extend to an elevation at least 1 foot above the spillway.
• Outlet protection— rock apron minimum 1.5 feet thick will extend downstream from the toe of the dam a
distance equal to the height of the dam to prevent channel erosion.
• Rock fill—rock will be well graded erosion resistant stone with a minimum dso size of 12 inches, Class II
downstream layer of riprap and Class I upstream layer of riprap.
Maintenance: Check sediment basin after each rainfall, remove sediment when sediment accumulates to%: the height
of the dam. Check structure for erosion or rock displacement weekly or after each significant (112 inch or greater)
rainstorm and repair immediately.

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). Waterheight
control structure to be installed in the south berm of the sedimentation pond at the Alvin Road Mine. Overflow to be
directed down stabilized ditch to nearby blue-line stream, eventual outflow to Tar River.

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 the Alvin Road Mine, Alvin Road,
Grimestand, NC Sedimentation pond is a part of the dewatering management system of the Alvin Road 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 (3)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 13 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.

i. Operator will excavate a 20-ft deep 1.73-acre pond at the north end of the permit area
for usage as a sedimentation pond for dewatering the main excavation. Operator will
construct a sand berm around the sediment pond 4' tall x 22' wide, sown with
groundcover to fully contain dewatering discharge. Operator will install a half-pipe flash-
board riser overflow at the southwest corner of the sediment pond, connected to a
minimum 18-in PVC pipe discharging to a single discharge point to a blue-line stream
draining to Chicod Creek and Tar River. Discharge point will have a 20-ft long riprap stone
apron for outfall protection to prevent erosion.
j. Operator will install a Godwin Dri-Prime or similar model dewatering pump at the
northeast corner of the main excavation. The pump will remove approximately 96,000
gallons of water per day from the main excavation and discharge it into the southeast end
of the sediment pond. Water will then overflow at the southwest end of the sediment
pond. The dewatering pump will operate at 1200 rpm intermittentlyfor average 12 hours
per day upon need.
k. Operator will begin excavation of the main pond (14.88 acres) approximately 200 feet
south of sediment pond by digging with excavator and removing sand & topsoil to
maximum depth feasible without dewatering the excavation.
I. Operator will dewater main excavation into sediment pond, discharging overflow water
from sediment pond through PVC discharge pipe into a blue-line-stream leading to Chicod
Creek and Tar River. Operator will dewater main excavation down approximately 20 feet

below normal groundwater level.
m. 3:1 cut slopes will be constructed around excavation edge down to normal groundwater
level. As water is removed from excavation, 2:1 cut slopes will be constructed below
normal groundwater level around excavation edge.
n. Pond will be excavated to average 30 feet and maximum 35 feet below normal
groundwater level while dewatering is maintained. Excavated material (sand) will be
stockpiled in unexcavated portion of proposed excavation area. Sand will be loaded onto
trucks and removed from area via paved construction entrance to SR 1562 Alvin Road.
o. When final excavation of pond is complete, dewatering will be discontinued. Pump will
be shut down and removed) and discharge pipe will be removed. Groundwater will refill
the excavation to normal seasonal high groundwater level.
p. After all excavation is complete, operator will establish groundcover on 3:1 above-water
slopes of excavation and will construct a minimum 8-ft wide 4:1 berm around excavation
edge to prevent erosion of pond slopes, with outside edge of berm graded down to
natural ground level.
q. Sediment pond will be drained through the overflow riser down to normal water level,
and then the riser and discharge pipe will be removed. Operator will remove the
discharge pipe and other equipment from main excavation and remove sediment pond
berms. Sediment pond disturbed area will be graded, leveled, and sown with
groundcover. Area will be allowed to return to previous field state.
r. Former stockpile/ berm areas and processing areas outside of main excavations will be
graded, leveled, and seeded with groundcover. Areas will be allowed to return to
previous non-erosive field state.
s. Internal roadways and haul roads will be graded, leveled, seeded with groundcover, and
allowed to return to natural field state. A field path will remain around the perimeter of
the excavated pond.
t. Remaining affected areas inside main permit area will be fertilized and returned to natural
field state.
u. Remaining pond will be utilized by landowner for scenic&recreational purposes,and for
wildlife habitat.

Dear. Mr. Elliott,
Attached are the seeding recommendations the NC Wildlife Resources Commission requests be
used for mine reclamation sites within the eastern half of the state. These recommendations were
formulated several years ago in cooperation with staff from the NC Division of Energy, Mineral,
and Land Resources, NC Forest Service, and NC Wildlife Resources Commission. These
recommendations provide a more beneficial mix for wildlife, do not include any invasive
species, meet the requirements for the NC Mining Act of 1971, and are the seeding
recommendations provided by NC Wildlife Resource Commission staff during the review of
mining permit applications.
Thank you for your time and consideration. Please do not hesitate to contact me at

On-Site Determination for Applicability to the Tar-Pamlico Riparian Area Protection Rules
(15A NCAC 2B .02059)
Dear Sir:
On May 1, 2024, at your request 1 conducted an on-site determination to review features located
on the subject property for applicability to the Tar-Pamlico Riparian Area Protection Rules(15A
NCAC 2B .02059). The features are labeled as"PC24-012,PC24-013,and PC24-014" on the
attached map initialed by me on May 1, 2024.
The Pitt County Planning Department has determined that the surface waters labeled as
"PC24-012" & "PC24-014" on the attached maps and highlighted in 1;1 1 L are subject to
the Tar-Pamlico Riparian Area Protection Rules. However,the Pitt County Planning
Department has also determined that a portion of the surface waters labeled as "PC24-
013" on the attached maps and highlighted in is not subject to the Tar-Pamlico
Riparian Area Protection Rules
The owner (or future owners)should notify the DWR(and other relevant agencies)of this
decision in any future correspondences concerning this property. This on-site determination
shall expire five(5) years from the date of this letter. Landowners or affected parties that dispute
a determination made by the DWR or Delegated Local Authority that a surface water exists and
that it is subject to the buffer rule may request a determination by the Director. A request for a
determination by the Director shall be referred to the Director in writing c/o Cyndi Karoly,
DWQ, 401 Oversight/Express Review Permitting Unit, 2321 Crabtree Blvd., Suite 250, Raleigh,

Page 2 of 2

NC 27604-2260. Individuals that dispute a determination by the DWR or Delegated Local
Authority that"exempts"a surface water from the buffer rule may ask for an adjudicatory
hearing. You must act within 60 days of the date that you receive this letter. Applicants are
hereby notified that the 60-day statutory appeal time does not start until the affected party
(including downstream and adjacent landowners) is notified of this decision. DWR recommends
that the applicant conduct this notification in order to be certain that third party appeals are made
in a timely manner. To ask for a hearing,send a written petition,which conforms to Chapter
150B of the North Carolina General Statutes to the Office of Administrative Hearings,6714 Mail
Service Center, Raleigh,N.C.27699-6714. This determination is final and binding unless you
ask for a hearing within 60 days.
This letter only addresses the applicability to the buffer rules and does not approve any activity
within the buffers. Nor does this letter approve any activity within Waters of the United States
or Waters of the State. If you have any additional questions or require additional information
please call me at(252)902-3250.
