Subject: Request for DMF Shellfish Sanitation's Approval for NPDES Mine General Permit
Discharge COC
Andy,
We received an application for the proposed North River Club mine to dewater/discharge stormwater and wastewater
in Carteret County. The receiving waters are Wading Creek, which is classified SA-HQW. However, the original
application notes "no discharge" because they plan to dewater into an adjacent property's old mine pit. The NPDES
permit is still required because they will need a pumping plan to ensure nearby wetlands are protected, and in the rare
event that there is an event large enough to prompt overflow, it is considered a potential discharge and requires a
permit.
Here is a ma..p._ca.iF the rcr casedrcr ect site.
The link to the rest of the application materials is here:

Please let me know if these links don't work — they should get you straight into Laserfiche Weblink to view them.
Because the receiving waters for any discharge would be ultimately be class SA, our rules require approval from DMF's
Shellfish Sanitation before issuing the site coverage under the NPDES NCG020000 General Permit. Here is a I_i_nk to o..ur.
1CG.012.09.09 Permit. Note that fecal coliform monitoring is required for wastewater discharges to SA waters (Part IV Sec
D) — unless there's no discharge in event smaller than the 10 -year, 24-hour storm (which may well be the case here).
The applicant has provided an initial pumping plan, but it is incomplete in how it addresses nearby wetlands. In the
meantime, I wanted to go ahead and send the review request to you.
Thanks,
