2013 by Joanne Steenhuis of the Wilmington Regional Office verified that no mining activity
was taking place at the time of the inspection. Your recent request dated July 23, 2013 to keep
the NCG020652 permit, but to discontinue stormwater and wastewater monitoring is hereby
approved, based on the following conditions:
• There will be no mining activities taking place while the site is considered "dormant".
• Stockpiles of raw materials must be vegetated or stabilized such that migration off site
does not occur.
• No chemical additives or petroleum products are to be stored on the site.
• There shall be no wastewater (mine pit dewatering) from the site (either by mechanical
means or by gravity) and all wastewater treatment units shall be cleaned, stabilized, and
inactivated as to render them harmless to the environment while the site is dormant.
• Qualitative and analytical monitoring actions as described in Part III, Sections B, C, D and
E do not have to be conducted — as long as the above conditions and all other permit
conditions and limitations are met, including
o The annual permit fee must be paid. Failure to pay the annual permit fee will
be considered a violation of the subject permit.

Page 2
In accordance with the application for this mining permit, which is hereby approved by the
Department of Environment and Natural Resources, hereinafter referred to as the Department,
and in conformity with the approved Reclamation Plan attached to and incorporated as part of
this permit, provisions must be made for the protection of the surrounding environment and for
reclamation of the land and water affected by the permitted mining operation. This permit is
expressly conditioned upon compliance with all the requirements of the approved Reclamation
Plan. However, completed performance of the approved Reclamation Plan is a separable
obligation, secured by the bond or other security on file with the Department, and may survive
the expiration, revocation or suspension of this permit.
This permit is not transferable by the permittee with the following exception: If another
operator succeeds to the interest of the permittee in the permitted mining operation, by virtue
of a sale, lease, assignment or otherwise, the Department may release the permittee from the
duties imposed upon him by the conditions of his permit and by the Mining Act with reference
to the permitted operation, and transfer the permit to the successor operator, provided that
both operators have complied with the requirements of the Mining Act and that the successor
operator agrees to assume the duties of the permittee with reference to reclamation of the
affected land and posts a suitable bond or other security.
In the event that the Department determines that the permittee or permittee's successor is not
complying with the Reclamation Plan or other terms and conditions of this permit, or is failing
to achieve the purposes and requirements of the Mining Act, the Department may give the
operator written notice of its intent to modify, revoke or suspend the permit, or its intent to
modify the Reclamation Plan as incorporated in the permit. The operator shall have right to a
hearing at a designated time and place on any proposed modification, revocation or
suspension by the Department. Alternatively and in addition to the above, the Department
may institute other enforcement procedures authorized by law.
Definitions
Wherever used or referred to in this permit, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise,
terms shall have the same meaning as supplied by the Mining Act, N.C.G.S. 74-49.
Expiration Date
This permit shall be effective from the date of its issuance until June 24, 2015.

Page 3

the following conditions and limitations:
OPERATING CONDITIONS:
A. Any wastewater processing or mine dewatering shall be in accordance with the
permitting requirements and rules promulgated by the N.C. Environmental
Management Commission.
B. Any stormwater runoff from the affected areas at the site shall be in accordance
with any applicable permit requirements and regulations promulgated by the
Environmental Protection Agency and enforced by the N.C. Environmental
Management Commission. It shall be the permittee's responsibility to contact the
Division of Water Quality to secure any necessary stormwater permits or other
approval documents.
2. A. Any mining process producing air contamination emissions shall be subject to the
permitting requirements and rules promulgated by the N.C. Environmental
Management Commission and enforced by the Division of Air Quality.

to prevent sedimentation of that waterway or wetland from erosion of the affected
land and to preserve the integrity of the natural watercourse or wetland.
B. Any mining activity affecting waters of the State, waters of the U. S., or wetlands
shall be in accordance with the requirements and regulations promulgated and
enforced by the N. C. Environmental Management Commission.
4. A. Adequate mechanical barriers including but not limited to diversions, earthen
dikes, check dams, sediment retarding structures, rip rap pits, or ditches shall be
provided in the initial stages of any land disturbance and maintained to prevent
sediment from discharging onto adjacent surface areas or into any lake, wetland
or natural watercourse in proximity to the affected land.
B. All drainage from the affected areas around the mine excavations shall be
diverted internal to said excavations.
C. Mining activities shall be conducted as indicated on the Mine Plan last revised

APPLICATION FOR A MINING PERMIT
a. A buffer will be required between any mining activity quid any mining permit boundary or right-of-
way. It may be an unexcavated buffer (no excavation, but roadways, berms and erosion &
sedimentation control measures may be installed within it), an undisturbed buffer (no disturbance
within the buffer whatsoever), or a combination of the two, depending upon the site conditions. Note
that all buffers must be located within the mining permit boundaries.
How wide a buffer will be maintained between any mining activity and any mining permit boundary
or right-of-way at this site? A minimum buffer of 25 feet is recommended, although a wider buffer
may be needed depending on site conditions. Show all buffer locations and widths on the mine
map(s).
An unexcavated buffer is indicated within the proposed mine permit boundary where the permit boundary is located
along the property line of the site.
A 25-feet wide unexcavated buffer is located within the first 25 feet of the NS Railroad right-of-way, placing the
mine pit boundary along the right-of-way. We understand that the intention of a buffer between mining activities
and a right -off -way is to preserve access to the right-of-way and prevent injury to structures within the right-of-way.
As proposed, the proposed mine pit slopes should prevent slope instability along the right-of-way, access to or
through the right-of-way is not impeded, and the mine permit boundary is located approximately 70 feet from the
single set of tracks located within the right-of-way. As proposed, the mine permit boundary is approximately 60 feet
away from the nearest edge of the actively maintained portion of the right-of-way.
b. A minimum 50 foot wide undisturbed buffer will be required between any land disturbing activities
within the mining permit boundaries and any natural watercourses and wetlands unless smaller
undisturbed buffers can be justified. Depending on site conditions, a buffer wider than 50 feet may
be needed.
How wide an undisturbed buffer will be maintained between any land disturbing activities within the
mining permit boundaries and any natural watercourses and wetlands at this site? Show all buffer
locations and widths on the mine map(s).
Existing wetlands on the property were flagged by Land Management Group, Inc of Wilmington, NC, and are shown
on the mine maps as surveyed. The surveyed alignments of these wetlands comprise the proposed mine permit
boundary throughout most of the mine. 50 h undisturbed buffers are indicated between the surveyed wetland lines
and the proposed mine pits at all locations where there are no existing features. A combination of undisturbed and
unexcavated buffers are proposed between the existing pond and adjacent wetland area where the existing road is
located, along the road alignment between mine pits 2 and 3, between mine pits') and 4, and near the mine entrance.
6. a. Describe methods to prevent landslide or slope instability adjacent to adjoining permit boundaries
during mining. Minimum 2 horizontal to I vertical slopes or flatter for clayey material and
minimum 3 horizontal to 1 vertical slopes or flatter for sandy material are generally required, unless
technical justification can be provided to allow steeper slopes.
Mine side slopes will be created at 2.5 feet. horizontal for every 1 foot vertical (2.51-1:1 V) or flatter below the normal
water level and finalized at 3H:IV or flatter above the normal water level.
Side slopes above the existing grade and those above the normal water level will be seeded as necessary to promote
vegetative cover as the mine advances.

6.06 TEMPORARY
GRAV�j CQN TRU TtON ENTRANCE/EX1T
DEFINITION
A graveled area or pad located at points where
vehicles enter and Leave a construction site.
PURPOSE
To provide a buffer area where vehicles can drop
their mud and sediment to avoid transporting it
onto public roods, to control erosion from surface
runoff, and to help control dust.
CONDITIONS WHERE
Wherever traffic will be leaving a construction
PRACTICE APPLIES
site and moving directly onto a public road or
other paved off -site area. Construction pions
should limit traffic to properly constructed
entrances.
DESIGN CRITERIA
Aggregate Size - Use 2-3 inch washed stone.
Dimensions of gravel pad -
Thickness: 6 Inch minimum
Width: 12-ft minimum or full width at all
points on the vehicular entrance and
exit area, whichever is greater
Length: 50-ft minimum
Location - Locate construction entrances and
exists to limit sediment from leavingg the site and
to provide for maximum utility by 1Tl construction
vehicles (Figure 6.06o). Avoid steep grades and
entrances at curves in public roads.
Washing - If conditions at the site are such that
most of the mud and sediment are not removed by
vehicles traveling over the grovel, the tires
should be washed. Washing should be done on an
oreo stabilized with crushed stone that drains
into a sediment trap or other suitable disposal

2. glace gravel to the specific grade and dimen-
sions shown on the plans, and smooth it.
3. Provide drainage to carry water to a sediment
trap or other suitable outlet.
4. Use gqeotexile fabrics because they improve
stabilityof the foundation in locations
subject to seepage or high water table.

abie materiels spilled, washed, or tracked onto
public roadways.
6.10 TEMPORAR
DEFINITION
Planting rapid -growing annual grasses, small
grains, or legumes to provide initial, temporary
cover for erosion control on disturbed areas.
PURPOSE
To temporarily stabilize denuded areas that will
not be brouglit to final grade for a period of more
that 30 working days.
Temporary seeding controls runoff and erosion
until permanent vegetation or other erosion con-
trol measures can be established. In addition, it
provides residue for soil protection and seedbed
preparation and reduces problems of mud and dust
production from bare soil surfaces during con-
struction.
CONDITIONS WHERE
On any cleared, unvegetated, or sparsely vegetated
PRACTICE APPLIES
soil surface where vegetative cover is needed for
less than 1 year. Applications of this practice
include diversions, dams. temporary sediment
basins, temporary road bunks, and topsoil stock-
piles.
PLANNING
Annual plants, which sprout and grow rapidly and
CONSIDERATIONS
survive for onfy one season, are suitable for
establishing initial or temporary vegetative
cover. Temporary seeding preserves the integrity
of earthen sediment control structures sucfr as
dikes, diversions, and the banks of dams and
sediment basins, it con also reduce the amount of
maintenance associated with these devices. For
example the frequency of sediment basin deanouts
if outside the
will be reduced watershed areas,
active construction zone, ore stabilized.
Proper seedbed preparation, selection of appropri-
ate Species, and use of quality seed ore as impor-
PERMA-
tont in this practice as in Practice 6.11,
NENT SEEDING. Failure to follow established
guidelines and recommendations carefully may
result in an inadequate or short-lived stand of
vegetation that will not control erosion.
Temporary seeding provides protection for no more
than 1 year, during which time permanent stabili-
zation should be initiated,
SPECIFICATIONS
Complete grading before preparing seedbeds and
install all necessary erosion control practices,
such as dikes, waterways and basins. Minimize
steep slopes because they make seedbed preparation
difficult and increase the erosion hazard. if
soils become compacted during grading, loosen them
to a depth of 6--8 inches using a ripper, harrow,
or chisel plow.
SEEDBED PR PA A N
Goad seedbed prep❑ra ion is essential to success-
ful plant establishment. A good seedbed is well -
pulverized, loose, and uniform. Where hydroseed-
ing methods are used, the surface may be left with
a more irregular surface of large clods and
stones.
LIMING - Apply time according to soil test recom-
If the (acidity) of the soil is
mendations. pH
not known, an application of ground agricultural
limestone at the rate of 1 to 1 1/2 tons/acre on
coarse -textured soils and 2-3 tons/acre on fine -
textured soils is usually sufficient. Apply
timestone uniformly and incorporate into the top
4-6 inches of soil, Soils with a pH of 6 or
higher need not be limed.
FERTILIZER - Base application rates on soil tests.
When these are not possible, apppl a 10-10-10
grade fertilizer at 700-1,000 Ib7cre. Both
fertilizer and lime should be incorporated into
the top 4-6 inches of soil. If a hydraulic seeder
is used, do not mix seed and fertilizer more than
30 minutes before application.
SURFACE ROUGHENING - If recent tillage operations
have resulted in a loose surface, additional
roughening may not be required except to break up
large clods. It rainfall causes the surface to
become sealed or crusted, loosen it just prior to
seeding by disking, raking, harrowing, or other
suitable methods. Groove or furrow slopes steeper
that 3:1 on the contour before seeding (Practice
6.03, SURFACE ROUGHENING).
PANT SELECTION
Select an appropriate species or species mixture
from Table 6.10a, for seeding in late winter and
earlyy spring Table 6.10b for summer, and Table
6AOC for foil,

Use seeding rotes given in Tables 6.10a-6.10c,
Broadcast seeding and hydroseeding are appropriate
for steep slopes where equipment cannot be driven.
Hand broadcasting is not recommended because of
the difficulty in achieving a uniform distribu-
tion.
Small grains should be planted no more than 1 inch
deep, and grosses and legumes no more than 1/2
inch. Broadcast seed must be covered by raking or
chain draggingg and then lightly firmed with a
roller or cultipacker. Hydroseeded mixtures
should include a wood fiber (cellulose) mulch.
M MIN
help
e use of appropriate mulch will ensure
establishment under normal conditions and is
essential to seeding success under harsh site
conditions (Practice 6.14, MULCHING). Harsh site
conditions include
seeding in foil for winter cover (wood fiber
mulches are not considered adequate for this
use),
slopes steeper than 3:1,
excessively hot or dry weather,
adverse soils (shallow, rocky, or high in clay
or sand), and
. areas receiving concentrated flow.
If the orea to be mulched is subject to concen-
trated waterflow, as in channels, anchor mulch
with netting (Practice 6.14, MULCHING).

potential for erosion during the establishment
stage,
the need to reseed areas that fail to estab-
lish,
seasonal limitations on suitable seeding
dotes, and
a need for water and appropriate temperatures
during germination and early growth.
The pprobability of successful plant establishment
can be maximized through good planning, knowledge
of the soil characteristics (Table 6.11a), selec-
tion of suitable plant materials for the site,
good seedbed preparation, adequate liming and
fertilization, and timely planting and moire e-
nonce.
SELECTING PLANT MATERIAL
Climate, soils, and topography are the major
factors affecting the suitability of plants for a
particular site, All All three of these factors vary
o alsiraP�,�yysspiont seleac�lor), o KEY TO PERMANENT
SEEQ1tsG MIXTPURES is presented in Tobte 6.11b, To
find seeding specifications for a specific site,
follow this key through the different steps to the
appropriate seeding number. Seeding mixtures
recommended here are designed for general use and
are well proven in practical field situations.
They are designed to produce maximum stabilization
and minimize the amount of maintenance and repair
required.
LAND USE is a primary consideration in planning
permanent seedings. For this purpose land use,
whether residential, industrial, commercial, or
recreational, can be divided into two general
categories:
High -maintenance areas are mowed frequently,
limed and fertilized regular%yy�� and either ()
re eive intense use (e.g.. athfetic fields) or
{2 require maintenance to an aesthetic stand-
(e.g.. home lawns). Grasses used for
these situations are long-lived perennials
that form a tight sad and are fine -leaved and
attractive in appearance. They must be well -
adopted to the ogle
area where they are
planted and ogle to endure the stress of
frequent mowing. Sites where high -maintenance
vegetaive cover is desirable include homes,
industrital parks, schools, churches, and
recreational areas.
Low -maintenance areas ore moved infrequently
or not at all, and do not receive lime and
fertilizer on a regular basis, Plants must
persist with little maintenance over long
periods of time. Grass and legume mixtures
are favored for these sites becouse legumes
are a source of soil nitrogen Mixed stands
are also more resistant to adverse conditions.
Sites suitable for low -maintenance vegetation
include steep slopes, stream or channel banks,
some commercial properties, and utility" turf
areas such as roodbonks.
SEEDBED PREPARATION
The soil on a disturbed site must be amended to
provide on optimum environment for seed germina-
tion and seedling growth. The surface soil must
be loose enough for water infiltration and root
penetration. The pH (acidity or alkalinity) of
the soil must be such that is not toxic and nutri-
ents are available - preferably between 6.0 and
6.5, Sufficient nutrients - added as fertilizer -
must be present.
It is as important to add lime as to add fertiliz-
er. time is used primarily as a pH, or acidity,
modifier, but is also supplies calcium and magne-
sium, which are important plant nutrients. 6y
increasing soil pH it also makes other nutrients
more available to plants. At the some time, it
prevents aluminum toxicity by decreasing the solu-
bility of soil aluminum. Many soils in North
Carolina are high in aluminum, which stunts plant
growth.
After seed is in place, it must be protected with
a mulch to hold moisture and modify temperature
extremes, while preventing erosion during seeding
establishment.
STEEP SLOPES
The operation of equipment is restricted on slops
steeper than 3:1, severely limiting the quo'lity of
the seedbed that can be prepared. The soil cannot
be sufficiently worked, and amendments cannot be
thoroughly incorporated.
Provisions for establishment of vegetation on
steep slopes can be made during final grading. In
construction of fill slopes, for example the last
4-6 inches might be left uncompacted. A loose,
rough seedbed is essential. Large clods and
stones provide irregularities that hold- seeds and
fertilizer. Cut slopes should be roughened.
Where steepness prohibits the use of form machin-
ery, seeding methods are limited to broadcast or
hydroseeding, with hydroseeding giving the mast
dependable results. Vegetation chosen for these
slopes must not require mowing or other intensive
maintenance. Using a hydraulic seeder, seed,
fertilizer, wood fiber mulch, and a locking agent
can be applied in one operation.
Good mulching practices are critical to protect
aggainst erosion on steep slopes. When using
sfraw, anchor with netting or asphalt. On slopes
steeper than 2:1, jute, excelsior, or synthetic
matting may be required to protect the slope.
SPECIFICATIONS SEEDBED REQUIREMENTS
Establishment of vegetation should not be attempt-
ed on sites that are unsaitabtgg due to inappropri-
ate soil texture (Table 6.11o), poor drainage,
concentrated overland flow, or steepness of slope
until measures have been taken to correct these
problems.
To maintain a good stand of vegetation, the soil
must meet certain minimum requirements as a growth
medium. The existing soils should have these
criteria:
Enough fine -grained (silt and clay) material
to maintain adequate moisture and nutrient
supply (available water capacity or at
least .05 inches water to 1 inch of soil).
Sufficient pore space to permit root penetra-

Sufficient depth of soil to provide on ade-

6.11 PERMANENT SEEDING continued
Freedom from large roots, branches, stones,
large clods of earth, or trash of any kind.
Gods and stones may be left on slopes steeper
than 3:1 if they are to be hydroseeded.
If any of the above criteria ore not met i.e.,
if the existing soil is too coarse, dense, shallow
or acidic to foster vegetation - speciol amend-
ments are required. The soil conditioners de-
scribed below may be beneficial or, preferably,
topsoil may be applied.
SOIL CONDITIONERS
In order to improve the structure or drainage
characteristics of a soil, the following materials
may be added. These amendments should only be
necessary where soils hove limitations that make
them poor for plant growth or for fine turf estob-
fishment
PEAT - Appropriate types are sphagnum moss peat,
hypnum moss peat, reedsedge peat, or peat humus,
all from fresh -water sources. Peat should be
shredded and conditioned in storage piles for at
least 6 months after excavation.
SAND -- clean and free of toxic materials.
VERMICULITE - horticultural grade and free of
toxic substances.
ROTTED MANURE - stable or cattle manure not con-
taining undue amounts of straw or other bedding
materials.
THOROUGHLY ROTTED SAWDUST - free of stones and
debris. Add 6 lb, of nitrogen to each cubic yord.
SLUDGE -- Treated sewage and industrial sludges ore
available in various forms; these should be used
only in accordance with local, State, and Federal
regulations.
SPECIES SELECTION
Use the KEY TO PERMANENT SEEDING MIXTURES (Table
6.11b) to select the most appropriate seeding
mixture based on the general site and maintenance
factors.
SEEDBED PREPARATION
install necessary mechanical erosion and sedimen-
tation control practices before seeding, and
complete grading according to the approved plan.
LIME AND FERTILIZER needs should be determined by
soil tests. Soil testing is performed free of
charge by. the North Carolina Department of Agri-
culture soil testing laboratory. Directions,
sample cartons, and information sheets are avail-
able througgh county Agricultural Extension offices
or from NCDA. Because the NCDA soil testing lab
requires 1-6 weeks for sample turn -around, som-
plingg must be planned well in advance of final
grading. Testing is also done by commercial
laboratories.
When soil tests are not available, follow rates
suggested on the individual specification sheet
for seeding mix chosen. Application rates usually
fall into the following ronges:
Ground agricultural limestone:
Light -textured, sandy sails: 1-1 1%2 tons/acre
Heavy -textured, clayey soils: 2-33 tons/acre
Fertilizer:
Grosses: 00-1200 fb/acre of 10-10-10 (or the
equivalent
Grass -legume mixtures: 800-1200 lb/acre of 5-
10-10 (or the equivalent)
APPLY LIME AND FER11LiZER evenly and incorporate
into the top 4-6 inches of soil by diking or other
suitable means. Operate machinery on the contour.
When using a h roseeder, apply lime and ferWiz-
er to a rough,loose surface.
Roughen surfaces
Complete seedbed preparation by breaking up large
clods and raking into ❑ smooth, uniform surface
(slopes less than 3:1). Fill in or level depres-
sions that can collect water. Broadcast seed into
a freshly loosened seedbed that has not been
sealed by rainfall.
SEEDING
SEEDING DATES given in the seeding mixture seci-
fications are designated as "best" or "possible'.
Seedings property carried out within the best'
dates have a high probability of success. It is
also possible to have satisfactory establishment
when seeding outside these dates. However as you
deviate from them, the probability of failure
Increases rapidly. Seeding on the last date shown
under possible may reduce chances of success by
30-507.. Always take this into account in schedul-
ing land -disturbing activities.
USE CERTIFIED SEED for permanent seeding whenever
possible. Certified seed is inspected by the
North Carolina Crop improvement Association. It
meets published North Carolina Standard and should
bear on official "Certified Seed" label.
Labeling of non -certified seed is also required by
law. Labels contain important information on seed
purity, germination, and presence of wgeds. Do
not accept seed containing "prohibited' noxious
weed seed.
INOCULATE LEGUME SEED with the "Rhizobium" bacte-
ria appropriate to the species of legume.
APPLY SEED uniformly with a cyclone seeder, drop -
type spreader, drill, cultipacker seeder, or
hydroseeder on a firm, friable seedbed.
When using a drill or cultipacker seeder, plant
small grains no more than 1 inch deep, grosses and
legumes no more than 1/2 inch. Equipment should
be calibrated in the field for the desired seeding
rate.
When using broadcast -seeding methods, subdivide
the area into workable sections and determine the
amount of seed needed for each section. Apply
one-half the seed while moving back and forth
across the area. making a uniform pattern; then
apply the second half in the some way, but moving
a right angles to the first pass.
MULCH all plantings immediately after seeding.
HYDROSEEDING
Surface roughening is particularly important when
hydroseeding, as a roughened slop will provide
some natural coverage for lime, fertilizer, and
seed. The surface should not be compacted or
smooth. Fine seedbed preparation is not necessary
for hydroseeding operations; Iarge clods, stones,
and irregularities provide cavities in which seeds
can lodge.
NOTES:
IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT MINE SIDE SLOPES BE FINALIZED
AND RECLAIMED AS EXCAVATION ADVANCES.
VEGETATED EARTHEN BERMS MAY BE REMOVED AS
ADJACENT SLOPES ARE FINALIZED AND SEEDED.
MINE SIDE SLOPES ABOVE NORMAL WATER LEVEL SHALL BE
RECLAIMED AT 3H: 1 V OR FLATTER,
TOPSOIL AND UNCONTAMINATED SOIL OVERBURDEN MAY BE
RETURNED TO THE EXCAVATED MINE PIT FOR DISPOSAL.

Lime is not normally applied with a hydraulic
seeder because it is abrasive. It can be blown
onto steep slopes in dry `arm.
SPRIGGING
Hybrid Bermudagross carnot be grown fro seed and
must be planted vegetatiieiy, Vegetative methods
of establishing common and hybrid Bermudagross,
centipedegross, and Ball rass Include sodding,
plugging and sprigging. Springs are fragments of
orizon al stems which include at least one node
(joint). They ore normal)r sold by the bushel and
can either be broadcast or planted in furrows
using a tractor -drawn tobacco or vegetable trans-�
plan er.
FURROWS should be 4-6 Inches deep and 2 It apart.
Place springs about 2 ft apart in the row with one
end at or above ground level.
BROADCAST springs at the specified rate. Press
into the top 1/2-2 inches of soli with a culti-
packer or with a disk set nearly straight so that
the sprigs are not brought back to the surface.
IRRIGATION
Moisture is essential far seed germination and
seedling establishment. Supplemental irrigation
can be very helpful in assuring adequate stands in
dry seasons or to speed development of full cover.
li is a requirement for tine turf establishment
and should be used elsewhere when feasible.
However, irrigation is rarely critical for low -
maintenance vegetation planted at the appropriate
time of the year.
Water application rates must be carefully con-
trofied to prevent runoff Inadequate or exces-
sive amounts of water con be more harmful than no
supplemental water.
MAINTENANCE Generally, a stand of vegetation cannot be deter-
mined to be fully estobli5hed until soil cover has
been maintained for one full year from planting.
Inspect seeded areas fa failure and make neces-
sary repairs and reseedings within the some sea-
son, if possible.
RESEEDING - If a stand hos inadequate cover, re-
evaluate choice of plant rnaterials and quantities
of time and fertilizer. Re-establish the stand
after seedbed preparation or over -seed the stand.
Consider seeding temporary, annual species if the
time of year is not appropriate for permanent
seeding.
If vegetation foils to grow, soil most be tested
to determine if acidity o- nutrient imbalonces is
responsible.
FERTILIZATION - On the typical disturbed site,
futi establishment usual)} requires refertitiza-
tion in the second ggrs-Ning season. Fine turf
requires annual moinferance fertilization. Use
soil tests if possible a` follow the guidelines
given for the specific s;eding mixture.

INTRODUCTION
This plan contains the pump operation and monitoring procedures for proposed mine dewatering
activities associated with the R.B.J. Associates, Newport Mine located near 1870 US Hwy 70 W,
Newport, in Carteret County.
IP PUR OSE
A mine permit is being sought to initiate mining at the proposed site with a maximum excavation
depth of 35 feet below the existing grade. In order to facilitate "dry" mining techniques, permission
is being sought to dewater the excavations. Applications for a Central Coastal Plain Capacity Use
Area Water Use Permit and for coverage under NCDENR NPDES General Permit NCG020000 are
being submitted in conjunction with the mine permit application.
AQUIFER INFORMATION
1 According to the NCDENR, Division of Water Resources, Visual Hydrogeologic Framework, North
Carolina Hydrogeological Database website, two hydrogeologic units are present at the within the
proposed maximum depth of the mine site. The Surficial aquifer and the Yorktown confining unit are
present, with the top of the Yorktown confining unit estimated to be 24 feet below the existing
ground elevation. The top of the Yorktown aquifer is reported to be 48 feet below existing ground
elevation. This information is baser[ upon the approximate center of the mine (lat 34.82806N, long
76.88556W) and data recorded from NDENR boreholes nearest the mine. The NDENR information
also reports an estimated ground surface elevation of thirty seven feet. A copy of this information is
provided with this plan.
' During site visits made in June and December of 2004 there was no noticeable change in the
groundwater surface elevation in an existing pond. During both site visits the groundwater surface
elevation was approximately two to three feet below the existing ground surface.
' PUMP INFORMATION
A close -coupled, diesel powered, centrifugal pump will be used to provide dewatering of the mine
excavation. The indicated pump capacity is 1,000 gallons per minute. Manufacturer and pump
model information are not currently available.
' The pump will be positioned on the bank of the active mine pit and used to provide a lowered
water surface elevation to a maximum depth of 35 feet below existing grade.
' PUMP OPERATIONS
' Pumping will be employed as groundwater is encountered, and the pump will be utilized as required
to maintain a water surface elevation that is slightly lower than the excavation bottom to enable
the use of "dry" mining techniques.
Continuous use of the pump at its reported capacity will result in 1,440,000 gallons of water removed
from the active excavation pit per day.
1 It is recommended that pumping activities be suspended whenever periods of inactivity at the mine
will last longer than the time required to dewater the active pit.

PUMP DISCHARGE
Owing to the configuration of the proposed mine, it will be required to relocate the pump as the
mine advances from one pit to the next.
During all pump operations associated with dewatering the active mine pit, pump discharges shall
be directed to a sediment basin. During excavation of mine pit 2, an existing pond and mine pit t
shall function as the sediment basin. As mine pits 3 and 4 are excavated, previously excavated
portions of the mine site shall function as the sediment basin (see dewatering plan for clarification).
The existing ditch shall be modified as necessary to provide a conveyance for pump discharges to
reach the existing pond during mine pit 2 excavation and modified again, as required, when used
to provide a conveyance for pump discharges to reach mine pit 2.
Portions of the mine functioning as the active sediment basin(s) are intended to discharge via
overflow in the form of overland flow across the existing surrounding ground level.
Existing grades around the perimeter of the active sediment basin(s) may require minor filling so that
a diffuse sheet flow discharge is created and directed toward the area(s) of wetlands adjacent to
the sediment basin(s).
The mine is located within the White Oak River Basin, and the nearest surface water is Shoe Branch,
a tributary of the Newport River. The headwaters of Shoe Branch are located approximately 2000
feet from the proposed mine.
MONITORING PLAN (PUMP)
Pump monitoring is required for both NPDES and Central Coastal Plain Capacity Use Area Water Use
Permits.
Monitoring shall include type and number of pumps operating, hours operated, volume withdrawn
{gallons per day), depth of pump intake (below existing ground), water surface elevation, and any
additional information requested by permitting agencies.
Monitoring shall be performed daily unless otherwise directed/ollowed by the permitting agencies.
During pumping, withdrawal rates shall be assumed to equal previously indicated pump capacity
unless actual measurements indicate otherwise.
Withdrawal rates shall be reported according to the requirements dictated by the applicable
permitting agency.
Pump withdrawal rate records shall be retained for a period of at least 5 years from the date of
measurement, unless otherwise indicated by permitting agencies.
MONITORING WELL (PIEZOMETER) INFORMATION
Existing wetland areas are located adjacent to the mine site. In order to monitor the existing
hydrology of adjacent wetland areas, piezometers are typically installed as required by the
permitting agencies. These are used to identify the existing elevations of surface and sub -surface
waters within the wetland area, and to monitor the effect on these levels caused by the proposed

mine dewatering. Piezometer locations are dependant upon the location of the active mine pit,
discharge location(s) and the recommendations) of the permitting agency representatives.
Each required piezometer shall be constructed using a five foot minimum length of PVC well casing
and a five foot length of 2" diameter, .010 slotted, PVC screen, for a total minimum length of ten
feet. The piezometer screen tip shall extend to a depth of approximately nine feet below existing
grade, resulting in the well casing extending at least one foot above the existing grade. (If any
piezometer is installed in an area of standing water, the well casing shall be lengthened as
necessary to extend a minimum of one foot above the average water surface elevation.) A fine
sand pack shall extend from the bottom of the well to one foot above the top of the screen. A two
foot thick bentonite seal shall be placed directly over the sand pack. Native soils removed during
well excavation will be used to fill the well to the existing ground elevation. A square, two foot sided,
four inch thick concrete pad or equivalent circular collar shall be constructed at the existing grade,
and centered on each well casing. A protective sleeve fitted with a locking cover shall be set in
each concrete pad, centered around the well casings.
MONITORING PLAN WELLS
' The wells shall be installed, allowed to stabilize, and existing water surface elevations recorded prior
to the initiation of dewatering.
' Water surface elevations shall be measured relative to a constant datum, such as, but not limited to,
the top of the well casing.
Water surface elevations in the monitoring wells shall be recorded daily throughout the initial mine
water drawdown and until a balance is achieved between water withdrawal activities and
groundwater inflow.
' After a dewatering balance is achieved, water levels in the monitoring wells shall continue to be
recorded daily until no significant change is recorded. Water levels shall be recorded weekly until
no significant change is recorded for two consecutive weeks. Once monitoring well levels achieve
e this level of stability, water level recording shall continue on a monthly basis. Changes in recording
frequency may be subject to permitting agency approval, and permit requirements govern if they
conflict with this monitoring schedule.
Monitoring results shall be reported according to the requirements dictated by the applicable
permitting agency.
' Monitoring well records shall be retained for a period of at least 5 years from the date of
measurement, unless otherwise indicated by permitting agencies.
' MANDATORY PLAN REVISION
Mine dewatering shall stop and the approved pump operation plan shall be revised if piezometer
well water levels indicate a change from recorded pre -pumping levels in excess of one (1) foot, in
either direction.
