DeHoog #2
Beaufort County
Dear Mr. and Mrs. DeHoog:
On August 15, 2014 the Division of Energy, Mineral and Land Resources received your request to rescind
your coverage under Certificate of Coverage Number NCG020678. In accordance with your request,
Certificate of Coverage Number NCG020678 is rescinded effective immediately.
Operating a treatment facility, discharging wastewater or discharging specific types of stormwater to waters
of the State without valid coverage under an NPDES permit is against federal and state laws and could result
in fines. If something changes and your facility would again require storrnwater or wastewater discharge
permit coverage, you should notify this office immediately. We will be happy to assist you in assuring the
proper permit coverage.
If the facility is in the process of being sold, you will be performing a public service if you would inform the
new or prospective owners of their potential need for NPDES permit coverage.
If you have questions about this matter, please contact us at 919-707-9200, or the Stormwater staff in our
Washington Regional Office [phone].

A visit was made to this site on 5/17/06 and comments to the LQ branch on 5/17/06. 1
took staff from the wetlands group with me and it was determined that the ditches in
the mine area would be exempt from the buffer rules. The other buffers are being
maintained. My original concern was with turbidity, however, with the discharge
traveling through a swale and into a wooded area before reaching the stream, it should
be OK. Please go ahead and issue the COC. Thanks Pat

Al,
We've received an N01 from the DeHoogs for DeHoog #2 Mine in Bath (Beaufort County)
for coverage of their construction sand mine under NCG02 (Mining SW/WW permit).
The site (sched. to start in June) will discharge stormwater and mining dewatering
water into Broad Creek (SC -NSW) through a settling basin. The N01 is attached.
Apparently the application was originally sent the 401/Wetlands Unit with a request
for written approval of the Buffer Rules (it's in the Tar -Pam) -- see the cover
letter. I have no idea if this request was addressed; but I'm guessing the region
would have to make the call.
Does the Washington Regional. Office have any -concerns about issuing this facility a
COC for this general permit, and are there any potential impacts to wetlands? The
application indicates "50' buffer around wetlands and streams," so there must be
some in the area, but I'm not sure. If we don't receive any objections, we'll
issue the COC in 30 days, as long as the Mining Permit (07-52) is issued.
Thanks,

The application for a mining permit for the above referenced mine site has been found
to meet the requirements of G.S. 74-51 of The Mining Act of 1971. As we have received the
required security to cover this application, I am enclosing the mining permit.
The conditions of Mining Permit No. 07-52 were based primarily upon information
supplied in the application with conditions added as necessary to insure compliance with The
Mining Act of 1971. This permit expires on August 8, 2016. G.S. 74-65 states that the
issuance of a mining permit does not supersede or otherwise affect or prevent the
enforcement of any zoning regulation or ordinance duly adopted by an incorporated city or
county or by any agency or department of the State of North Carolina.
As a reminder, your permitted acreage at this site is 27.0 acres and the amount of land
you are approved to disturb is 22.0 acres. Please note that condition No. 3A requires that
a 50 foot undisturbed buffer be maintained between any affected land and any adjoining
waterway or wetland.
Please review the permit and contact Ms. Judy Wehner, Assistant State Mining
Specialist, at [phone] of any objection or questions concerning the terms of the permit.

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
