Dear Sirs:
You have our approval to dredge in 6,000 cubic yards of waters for the purpose of deepening at Lake
Hickory, as you described in your application dated 23 August 1996. After reviewing your application, we
have decided that this fill is covered by General Water Quality Certification Number 2674. This
certification allows you to use Regional Permit Number 030 when it is issued by the Corps of Engineers.
This approval is only valid for the purpose and design that you described in your application. If you
change your project, you must notify us and you may be required to send us a new application. For this
approval to be valid, you must follow the conditions listed in the attached certification. In addition, you
should get any other federal, state or local permits before you go ahead with your project.
If you do not accept any of the conditions of this certification, you may ask for an adjudicatory
hearing. You must act within 60 days of the date that you receive this letter. 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, P.O. Box 27447, Raleigh, N.C. 27611-7447. This certification and its
conditions are final and binding unless you ask for a hearing.

Refer to sketch attached:
1) PURPOSE/ FUNCTION: The purpose of the primary and secondary
retainage basins is to catch the hydraulic dredge solids and polish
the water before returning it to the lake. `Co achieve this the
hasinz are designed to slow the velocity of the water as much as
posSfble and dissipate its energy. When the water glows
sufficiently there is riot enough energy remaining to hold the
solids in suspension and the solids drop out into the basin. The
water ig than decanted from the primary basin into the secondary
for additional polishing bofo•ro being diseharged back into the
lake. To enhance this settling process c 90 degree ell is placed
at the end of the dredge discharge pipeline to force the slurry
into the air. Gravity stops the velocity of the water and
dissipates the remaining energy which carried the solids to the
basin. After traveling through this seri&s of r_etaxnage basins, the
water is channeled back to the lake using perforated plastic pipe
or other suitable means to minimize surface erosion.
2) CONSTRUCTION! Primary and secondary basins are constructed of
packed red clay or other suitable material. The capacity of the
primary basin should be sufficient to hold 1.5 timcei Lhe amount of
dredge material calculated to be removed from the lake. If there
is insufficient room to construct a primary basin of this size,
then the basin must be periodically dipped and the spoil material
contain&d with ailt fence to keop it from reontoring the lake. At
no time during the dreciging operation can the material bcinq
contained in the primary basin accumulate higher than 6 inches
br.low the outlet pipe from the primary to the secondary basin.
mho secondary basin is much smaller than the primary and is used as
a final filter before the water reenters tho lake-
3) SIZING DIBCMMGE PIPEss The sizing of the pipes which allow the
US HRIII ''AUG 23 '96 12?28PM IG=1-?04-2'52-11)21 HUG 23'96 10 : SR No P. 6/10
11
water to travel from the primary to the secondary and frown the
secondary back to the lake is important to insure that there is
sufficient drainage capacity to carry the quantity of water being
pumped by the dredge- Given an 8 inch dredge which could pump a
maximum of 2,500 gallons per minute, the maximum amount of water
which might need to be discharged through the basins would be 2,500
gallons. (In actual practice this number would be decreased by !-
lot given the percentage of solids which. would be carried by the
water, but would remain in the pit.) Usinq the Manning Equation
which determines static head vslocity through a cor.rug,f7ed drain
pipe, it can be determined that an 18 inch oorruga.ted pipe will
permit 2,557.8 gallons per minute. This assumes an annular
corrugation with a roughness coefficient of 0.024 and a minimum
slope of .01. Similarly, the Manning Equation determines that a 24
inch horizonal discharge pipe ip cuffi.ciant to carry 5,497.06
gallons per minute, which is more than adequate to carry the
maximum discharge 'v'olume (4,000 GPM) of a 10 inch dredge. Using
these engineering standards, it has been determined that 18 and 24
inch drain pipes are more than adequate to draain the effluent
discharge from 8 and 10 inch dredges respectively, An optimum pipe
size is determined for each wpecific job.
3) Wherever a discharge pipe passes through an earthen berm, an
anti-seep collar or water-stop is constructed to prevent
inadvertent failure due to erosion around the drain, pipe.
4) In some cases it is preferable to install a perforated riser
pipe in the secondary containment basin. This situation is
preferable where there is a dredging project of long duration
(¢overal weeks versus several hours) or where a pormanent basin is
to be left in place after the dredging work is completed. This
pipe must be anchored to the bottom of the secondary basin using
rock, concrete, or other suitable means. When a vertical riser
deisi_gn is used it is important not to overload the riser with holes
as the boat filtering of finee withizi a soc;ondary basin is attalne-d
by forcing the wager to pool and cascade over the riser.
