Discharge Points, Receiving Waters & Wetlands:
19) Receiving waters:
What is the name of the body or bodies of water (creek, stream, river, lake, etc.) that the facility stormwater
and/or wastewater discharges will end up in? Unnamed tributary of the Cape Fear River
To find the waterbody, please see the "MAPS" tab on http://portal.ncdenr.org/web/wcl for a map of NC
Surface Waterbody Classifications.
Receiving water classification(s) for the waters: "C"
If the site will discharge to a separate storm sewer system, name the operator of the separate storm sewer
system (e.g. City of Raleigh municipal storm sewer). NA
Discharge of wastewater to receiving waters classified as WS -II through WS -V, or SA, must be
approved by the Division of Water Resources (DWR) or Division of Marine Fisheries
(DMF). DEMLR cannot grant coverage under NCGO20000 without that approval. Also be advised that
no new discharges of wastewater are permitted in receiving waters classified as WS4 or
freshwater ORW. Wastewater discharges to saltwater ORW will not be approved under General Permit
NCG02 but may be eligible for an individual permit.

❑ Yes, SA*
*For questions 19-20, be advised that the NGG02 General Permit limits the discharge volume of total combined
wastewaters to 50 percent of the receiving water in -stream flow under 7Q 10 conditions in HQW waters (PNA and
SA waters are considered HQW by definition). You maybe required to contact USGS to obtain a 7Q10 flow.
22) Will this mine site discharge wastewater or stormwater to impaired waters, or to waters with an
approved "Total Maximum Daily Load" (TMDL)?
To find impaired waters, please see the "Impaired Waters" map on the "MAPS" tab on
http://Portal.ncden r.ora/web/wq.
To find approved TMDLs in North Carolina, please see DWR's Water Planning Section website:

approved prior to operation.
The plan shall include, but is not limited to: (1) Groundwater monitoring strategies to demonstrate the effect of
pumping and to establish any pumping regime necessary to reduce impacts, and (2) Detailed plans to maintain
surrounding hydrology and respective monitoring to demonstrate compliance. See checklist at the end of the

Re: Section 404/401 Wetland/ Stream Delineation / Assessment.
On June 14, 2018 Wetland Solutions, conducted a wetland assessment of the property
identified as PINs 0444-89-0613; 0444-78-8419; 0444-88-7855. After walking several transects
across the property there were found to be 3 identifying regulated features that fall under the section
401/401 jurisdiction by the Army Corps and NCDWR. The 3 areas are identified on the corresponding
map W1 W2 S1. Reviewing the map from North to South you will note that there is an isolated
irrigation pond that is calculated to be .16ac and is labeled W2. This can be filled in with simple
notification to Corps and is not regulated by NCDWR because it is less than acre. The second area of
jurisdiction, labeled W1, is .3.56ac and is considered Waters of the US and is regulated by both the
Corps and NCDWR. S1 is not labeled on the map but it is the stream that is SW property line. This
stream is perennial and jurisdictional by 404/401 standards. Let me reiterate that wetland 1 (W1) and
wetland 2 (W2) were both delineated and identified on the map while stream 1 (S1) was note
delineated and is not identified on the map. Please let me know if you need any additional information
regarding this site.
