Dear Mr. Hardee:
Coleen 1-1. Sullins, Director
Division of Water Quality
In accordance with your application for a discharge permit received on March 23, 2007, we
are forwarding herewith the subject certificate of coverage to discharge under the subject state —
NPDES general permit. This permit is issued pursuant to the requirements of North Carolina
General Statute 143-215.1 and the Memorandum of Agreement between North Carolina and the US
Environmental Protection Agency dated May 9, 1994 (or as subsequently amended).
Please take notice that this certificate of coverage is not transferable except after notice to
the Division of Water Quality. The Division of Water Quality may require modification or
revocation and reissuance of the certificate of coverage.
Please be aware that mine dewatering at your site has the potential to impact adjacent
wetlands. The specific requirements for mine dewatering at facilities near wetlands can be found in
Section C, Part 1 of your permit (Part III Page 5 of 9). You must have an approved Operation
and Monitoring Plan before -mine dewaterin discharges occur at your facility. Discharging
mine dewatering wastewater without Plan approval will be subject to enforcement action. An
Operation and Monitoring Plan for your facility must be submitted to the Wilmington Regional
Office within 60 days of your receipt of this permit. Contact Ed Beck at the Wilmington Regional
Office at [phone] for more information about the approval process.
Please note that mine dewatering wastewater includes wet pit overflows caused solely by
direct rainfall and groundwater seepage for this type of mining operation. Any discharge of this
water (and any stormwater commingled with it) is subject to the effluent limitations in this permit.
This general permit allows the discharge of stormwater and certain types of wastewater
from your facility. In your application, you specified that only mine dewatering water would be
discharged from this facility. If separate point -source discharges of stormwater occur (i.e.,
stormwater not combined with mine dewatering water), you will be required to adhere to the
conditions in this permit for stormwater discharges.

Bethany,
I had made comments back to the engineering consutants (Dec 31, 2007) who was working
on their plan. . I addressed those issues in my letter to them (cc'd Bradley Bennett)
and stated that I would expect my comments to be implemented into their plans unless
they felt strongly about my comments and wanted further discussion with me about it.
. they seemed agreeable. I didn't know at the time Hardee had already been issued,
but stated that (assuming we went ahead or would issue the NCG permit), prior to
dewatering, they address my concerns. Some I rather they address before, but at this
point I think they will address my concerns. I did speak with the engineer on the
phone last week to let him know he'd get my letter. I gave him heads up on what he
needed to work on.

We already issued the permit in October after your go-ahead (see forwarded
message below). These issues should be communicated directly to the permittee
from the RO. Once final approval is obtained from the WiRO, they can proceed
with operation (per the terms of the permit). I'm copying Ed in case you've
already out. Ed, if there's something we can do to help here, let me know.
I hope all goes well during your leave. Rest up and have a wonderful Christmas
and visit with your family.
Thanks again,

Bethany,
I got their O & M plan, not bad, but one suggestion. . they need to put
their`monitoring wells in the wetlands adjacent to the mine pit and the
monitoring wells do not need to be deep. They are proposing 30-40 feet
deep, not necessary, they should be shallow wells. 5-10 feet should
suffice, especially if they are putting them in the wetlands.
Thanks,
I'll be on medical and vacation leave for the rest of the week and the two
following. Can you pass this on to whomever will be working on their
permit?
The permit can be issued, but they must modify their 0 & M plan for the
suggestions above.
Best Wishes and hope you and yours have a wonderful Christmas Season.

I think you can proceed Bethany, I'll check them out soon. I told Jody I
planned to come out and see the level spreader as soon as they begin
dewatering. I'll check on this system regularly since we will have it
permitted, that way we can also see the long term effects and potentially what
happens if the system is maintained properly.

It looks like the county helped us out on this one. We'll move forward with

This will be a good chance to see how these things perform with mine
dewatering flows.

I just spoke with Jody, he said that the county is requiring he secure

Interesting. Anyway, they are proposing a settling basin and a level
spreader so that there is no point source discharge. Since they have our
permit, I'll be conducting a site inspection as soon as they begin
dewatering activities from the level spreader.

Dear Mr, Bland,
u�l
The Division of Water Quality (DWQ) in the Wilmington Regional Office received the O & M plans e
following projects; NKT Projects No. 07144 (Old New Britton Road Mine, received December 20), 06148 (Henry
Bryant Mine, received December 20), and 06188 (Hardee Sand Mine, received November 30). Each of the O &
M plans have been reviewed and the following comments are provided for your consideration:
NKT Project No. 07144: o - NC.t,oa og93
1. Please provide a USGS quadrant map with an overlay of the mine site. The USGS map is helpful in
identifying any blue line streams or potential wetlands outside the boundary of the mine site. The map
should be large enough to accommodate the identification of the access roads, excavation area, settling
basins, spoil piles, undisturbed buffers, and level spreader locations. The map provided showed
wetlands mostly within the mine site (proper) but left some uncertainty that wetlands had been identified
outside the mine site (specifically to the north of the mine site). DWQ is interested in the protection of all
wetlands, including those located outside the mine site boundaries.
2. Provide a copy of the delineation certified by the US Army Corp of Engineers or a letter from the
USACOE indicating concurrence with the wetland boundaries identified on the map provided.
3. Monitoring wells should be of sufficient number to provide data on hydrology of each wetland that has the
potential to be impacted by dewatering activities. The monitoring wells should be of sufficient depth to
demonstrate wetland hydrology. Use of existing wells that are 40-50 feet deep are too deep to
demonstrate wetland hydrology and should not be used to demonstrate whether wetland impacts are
occurring. Placement of the monitoring wells should be in the wetlands, just outside the undisturbed
buffer. The two monitoring wells identified on the map are located outside the wetland boundaries and
are not shallow monitoring wells.
4. Mining roads or berms should not be built within the 50' undisturbed buffer, since an undisturbed buffer
refers to an area that has not been disturbed. Building a road or berm is a disturbance.
5. The number of level spreaders and their locations should provide recharge to all wetlands that have the
potential of being impacted by dewatering activities.
6. Include in the O & M plan a statement that requires the permittee to discontinue dewatering activities
immediately and contact DWQ upon noticing any impacts to surface waters or significant changes in
wetland hydrology and vegetation due to dewatering and will not resume dewatering until DWQ has
conducted an inspection of the mine site. DWQ will be notified if the daily flow exceeds the projected flow
or pump rates are increased to any level spreader exceeding those identified in the plans.
7. Please provide the calculations (including any assumptions made) that demonstrate the accuracy of the
projected daily discharge of water that will need to be removed from the mine excavation pit. Please
account as well for the contribution to flow from stormwater. Explain how adequate settling will be
achieved during the early stages of digging (and dewatering) when the size of the pit is too small to
provide adequate settling.
8. The flow and pump rates and dimensions of level spreader and stilling basin need to be identified in
writing in the text of the O & M plan.

1. Please provide a USGS quadrant map with an overlay of the mine site. Please see justification above.

2. Provide a copy of the delineation certified by the US Army Corp of Engineers or a letter from the
USACOE indicating concurrence with the wetland boundaries identified on the map provided.
3. Monitoring wells should be of sufficient number to provide data on hydrology of each wetland that has the
potential to be impacted by dewatering activities. The monitoring wells should be of sufficient depth to be
able to demonstrate wetland hydrology. Use of existing wells that are 40-50 feet deep are too deep to
demonstrate wetland hydrology and should not be used to demonstrate whether wetland impacts are
occurring. The existing plan proposes two new monitoring wells. Monitoring wells should be located in
the wetlands, not outside the wetland boundaries or in the undisturbed buffer,
4. Mining roads or berms should not be built within the 50' undisturbed buffer, since an undisturbed buffer
refers to an area that has not been disturbed. Building a road or a berm is considered a disturbance.
5. The number of level spreaders and their locations should provide recharge to all wetlands that have the
potential of being impacted by dewatering activities. The slope 50' down gradient of the level spreader
located on the east side of the mine site exceeds 8% (calculated to be 16%). Please identify an alternate
location for this level spreader where the down gradient slope (50' from level spreader) does not exceed
8 %.
6. Any mining roads or berms should not be built within the 50' undisturbed buffer, since an undisturbed
buffer refers to an area that has not been disturbed. Building a road or berm is a disturbance.
7. Please provide the calculations (including any assumptions made) that demonstrate the accuracy of the
projected daily discharge of water that will need to be removed from the mine excavation pit. Please
account as well for the contribution to flow from stormwater, Explain how adequate settling will be
achieved during the early stages of digging (and dewatering) when the size of the pit is too small to

9. Include in the O & M plan a statement that requires the permittee to discontinue dewatering activities
immediately and contact DWQ upon noticing any impacts to surface waters or significant changes in
wetland hydrology and vegetation due to dewatering and will not resume dewatering until DWO has
conducted an inspection of the mine site. DWQ will be notified if the daily flow exceeds the projected flow
or pump rates are increased to any level spreader exceeding those identified in the plans.

3. Monitoring wells should be of sufficient number to provide data on hydrology of each wetland that has the
potential to be impacted by dewatering activities. The monitoring wells should be of sufficient depth to be
able to demonstrate wetland hydrology (shallow wells required). Five new monitoring wells are proposed
in the plan. Please be sure monitoring wells are within the wetlands in as close a proximity to the
undisturbed buffer as possible, but not in the buffer.
4. Mining roads or berms should not be built within the 50' undisturbed buffer, since an undisturbed buffer
refers to an area that has not been disturbed. Building a road or a berm is considered a disturbance.
5. Please provide a minimum length of 13' for each level spreader. The plan does not identify the length of
the level spreader in the design (attachment C2). The number of level spreaders and their locations
should provide recharge to all wetlands that have the potential of being impacted by dewatering activities.
6. Any mining roads or berms should not be built within the 50' undisturbed buffer, since an undisturoed

Dear Mr. Bland; ! zF--
z ''�,
i o
The Division is in receipt of your O & M plan for the above project. As requested, a review ofl?1 , ►.-
the plan was conducted. The following items should be addressed in the O & M plan:;
1. A map of the mining site should be provided with the following details; landscape ITi ' U
and position of wetlands based on the Ann Corps of Engineers delineation),ditch ' J
proposed monitoring well placement, borrow areas, overburden storage, veliicle
maintenance areas (if conducted on site), mining roads, buffers, rain gauge locations,
fuel and bulk storage areas, buildings and other impervious surfaces (if present),
stormwater controls, location of level spreader, and erosion and sediment control
facilities (silt fencing).
2. Identify how the buffer around the mine «rill be marked to ensure the activities on site
will not encroach the buffer.
3. Provide the design specifications for the level spreader and identify the amount of
water to be discharged (worse case scenario). Level spreader should be able to handle
the maximum discharge rate without exceeding velocities that would cause erosion of
the vegetated buffer.
4. Provide the design specifications of the settling, detention or stilling basin and all
calculations showing what sire storm event the stilling pond was designed for in order
to provide adequate settling time before discharge. Identify the frequency for which
sediment build up will be monitored in the stilling basin. Provide the method used for
conveying water from the stilling basin to the level spreader.
5. Provide details on the installation, data loggers, well maintenance schedule and
depths of wells located in the wetlands. Provide the design of the shallow wells.
Provide the frequency for inspecting the water levels in the monitoring wells and rails
gauges On Site.
6. Include an inspection schedule for the health of the vegetation in the wetland as a
precautionary measure for protection. Provide an explanation of ]low monitoring well
data will be analyzed to detennine wetland hydrology.
7. BMP plan should include all good housekeeping practices that will be implemented
on site including clean up procedures for oil or fuel spills.
]'lease evaluate these comments versus the O & M plan and modify the plan accordingly-

J.A. Kuske, RE. of Counsel
The operation and monitoring of wastewater from the Hardee Sand Mine shall
adhere to the following limitations. All wastewater that collects within the pit area
through groundwater seepage and/or direct rainfall shall be extracted out of the
pit area on an as need basis. All wastewater that is extracted will be routed
through the stilling basin / level spreader BMP.
The level spreader diffuses discharged wastewater through the required fifty (50)
foot vegetated buffer. The diffusion of flow through the vegetated buffer will allow
for both infiltration and pollutant removal. The 'infiltration process will continually
recharge the water table and also protect the wetland areas from any impacts
associated with the mining operations.
Monitoring wells have been indicated along the project perimeter in various
locations. These wells have been placed in proximity of the wetland areas and/or
with proximity of wells that exist to the west and north of the project site. These
monitoring wells will provide both water table elevation and chemical data.
Quarterly testing and reports; as specified in Section CA Table 6 of the NPDES
General Permit; are required to be submitted to NCDENR and records shall be
retained in the mining office. All tested parameters shall be in accordance with
Section C.3 Table 9 of the NPDES General Permit.
The stilling basin / level spreader BMP will be required to be inspected either
quarterly and after any discharge operation or on a monthly basis. The stilling
basin should be inspected for sediment accumulation. If sediment is found to be
25% or more of the original design depth then all sediment shall be removed and
the basin will be returned to original design conditions. An inspection of the level
spreader should verify that the spreader lip has not been bypassed and that the
filter strip remains vegetated and channelized flow does not occur during
operation. If needed, the vegetated buffer should be reestablished and
channelization should be removed. Vegetation should remain; at all times; a
minimum six (6) inches in height. All silt fencing shall remain at the excavation
limits as specified by site plans. Any accumulated sediment should be removed
from the base when the depth reaches one (1) foot.

I think you can proceed Bethany, I'll check them out soon. I told Jody I planned to
come out and see the level spreader as soon as they begin dewatering. I'll check on
this system regularly since we will have it permitted, that way we can also see the
Jong term effects and potentially what happens if the system is maintained properly.

I just spoke with Jody, he said that the county is requiring he secure our
NCG020 permit in order to allow them to place monitoring wells in the wetlands
(apparently the wetlands are located on county property). Interesting. Anyway,
they are proposing a settling basin and a level spreader so that there is no
point source discharge. Since they have our permit, I'll be conducting a site
inspection as soon as they begin dewatering activities from the level spreader.

I just found out today that the Mining Permit for this one (MP 10-72)

Re: Hardee Sand Mine - Mining Permit Issued
addressing the wetlands issue. They're coordinating with Land
Management Group, another consulting firm. I just verified with
Karen Higgins that the 401 Cert. application was just rec'd by DWQ
on Monday, 5/7 (Proj. No. 20070795). Not sure if their 404 permit
has been approved by the Corp yet (don't think so), but they've
applied for Nationwide 44 - Mining Activities.
I pointed out the C&M Plan approval requirement in our permit, and
he sounded like he was familiar with that and had even written one
before. I recommended he contact you about.more details. In case
you need the number, Jody can be reached at 910.343.9643.
I think the Mining Permit is stalled until they work out the
wetlands disturbance details, so we'll sit -on the NPDES permit until
we hear otherwise. The 0&M Plan will be imporant, but if the
question arises about whether it's a point discharge or not
(depending on whether they redesign their level spreader
arrangement, etc.), we may lose the permit as a tool to require
that. Just something to keep in mind as we proceed.

I can get my hands on the mining permit if it has been issued,
and the application with the site map etc. I usually don't keep a
copy since we don't have the means to get copies of the big maps
unless we get admin to run somewhere to get one. I am glad WRC
looked at this one, I'm not sure I caught they needed the
404/401, but have no doubt that may be the case. I do have a
beef with most of the maps the potential permittee turns in, they
are usually hand drawn or cartoon type, real topo maps would be
great since most don't want to reveal how close streams and
wetlands are to their mine site.

Bethany Georgoulias wrote:
So as I said, it's taken a while for me to get back to this!
Attached is the NOI we received from Hardee Mine. Even though
the WRC memo says they believe a 404/401 is needed, Ian
McMillan of the 401 Oversight Unit says he hasn't heard from
the applicant. I've requested a status_ from DLR on their
mining permit application, so I'll let you know what I hear.
They also submitted a site plan that shows the mine, wetlands,
etc. (too big to send you), but not much detail about their
flow spreader (or maybe it's just far from an acceptable level
spreader design). Because it's a sand mine, we typically
don't review their treatment system designs for dewatering for
the NCG02 permit (i.e., no ATC submittal is required), so I'm
not sure how to address this. Hopefully I'll hear more from
DLR soon, and if 401 gets involved, surely they will need to
approve their level spreader design. I couldn't scan the site
plan for you --do you have access to their Mining Permit
application? It's probably included. Let me know.
An O&M Plan will need to be approved before they can begin
operation, I'm sure. Are there other concerns with this one
(other than what WRC is recommending), -or do you have any
other thoughts based on what you may have see from DLR in your
office? Let me know how the WiRO wants to proceed with this
one, and we'll continue to coordinate with Land Quality.

I'm sure they will be resolved one way or another. The native grass thing may not be
directly addressed because warm season grasses are not good soil stabilizers.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Brenda M. Harris
Land Quality Section
NCD1.R
FROM: Dr. Steven H. Everhart, CWB
Southeastern Permit Coordinator
Habitat Conservation Program
DATE: April 10, 2007
SUBJECT: Mining Permit Application for Hardee Enterprises — Hardee Sand Mine — Brunswick County
Biologists with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC) have reviewed the subject
application for impacts to wildlife and fishery resources. Our comments are provided in accordance with provisions
of the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (48 Stat. 401, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 661 et. seq.), and the North Carolina
Mining Act of 1971 (as amended, 1982: G.S. 74-76 et seq., 15 NCAC 5).
The applicant is requesting authorization to mine sand from 18.97 acres at a site off Winding Way, south of
Woodard Rd. (SR 1346) approximately one -quarter mile west of its intersection with Royal Oak Rd. (SR 1345), in
Brunswick County. Expected mine depth is 35 feet as measured from existing ground with an average depth of 35
feet. The applicant states that a 50 ft vegetated buffer will be maintained between the mining operation and
wetlands on -site. Final reclamation will result in a pond that is to be stocked with bream, bass and catfish. Slopes
of 3:1 will be maintained around the pit and these are to be planted with grasses and allowed to re -vegetate with
naturally occurring tree and shrub species.
We have the following concern slrecommendations regarding the proposed project:
• The applicant proposes to stabilize the disturbed portions of the site with grasses. We recommend
the use of locally native species such as switchgrass (Panicum virgatum). Also, we recommend
shrub species such as wax myrtle (Myrica cerifera), silverling (Baccharis halimifolia), and/or
marsh elder (1va frutescens) be planted for stabilization around the pond's edge. The use of these
species will provide food and cover for wildlife not afforded by lawn grasses typically used for
stabilization.
Although the applicant states that a 50 ft vegetated buffer will be provided adjacent to all
wetlands, the mine map indicates three areas of wetland impacts totaling 0.143 acre for the
construction of a haul road and two berm (?) areas. We recommend that wetlands delineation be
conducted and impacts verified for minimization and avoidance. It appears that a §401/404 permit
will be required for the project. The NCWRC does not support the filling of wetlands to generate
high ground for development and any required -permit authorization will receive a

recommendation for denial unless the project has significant public benefits and all wetlands or
aquatic habitat impacts are fully mitigated. To fully mitigate for wetland impacts, we recommend
that the EEP buy -in credits be in the Pendcr or Onslow County portion of the Cape Fear River
Basin. We also recommend that language consistent with U. S. Army Corps of Engineers
(USAGE) guidelines be used in the conservation easement for the preservation of remaining
wetlands. These prohibit cutting, pruning, mowing, or burning of vegetation; construction of any
kind; use of herbicides; any land disturbing activities; dumping or storing of soil, trash, or other
waste; and the pasturing, grazing or watering of animals, or any other agricultural or horticultural
purpose within wetlands.
• We recommend a 50 ft native forested buffer be maintained or created between the mining
operation and any wetlands on -site.
• We recommend that the level spreader and vegetated filter systems be designed such that all sheet
flow front dewatering and/or stomtwater is infiltrated prior to entering the wetlands.
The NCWRC does not object to the issuance of the mining permit for this project, provided that our
recommendations are included as conditions of the permit. 'Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment
on this application. If you have any questions or require additional information regarding these comments, please

C. PROTECTION OF NATURAL RESOURCES
1. Describe in detail the sequence of events for the development and operation of the mine and reference the
.sequence to the mine map(s). Attach additional sheets as needed.
The mine borrow area will be cleared and grubbed. Mining will begin in the southern most portion
and proceed north and westward until the first low land area has been excavated. Once fully
excavated, the second upland portion of the mine area will be excavated proceeding from the southern
point of the connecting road towards the haul road. The area will be reclaimed upon project
completion.
Z. Describe specific erosion control measures to be installed prior to land disturbing activities and during
mining to prevent offsite sedimentation (include specific plans for sediment and erosion control for mine
e,xcavation(a), waste piles, access/mine roads crud process areas), and give a detailed sequence of installation
and schedule for maintenance of the measures. Locate and label all sediment and erosion control measures
on the mine map(s) and provide typical cross-sections/construction details of each measure. Engineering
designs and calculations shall be required when needed to justify the adequacy of any proposed measures.
The entire project site will be surrounded by an existing vegetated buffer to act as a filter for any
surface sediment movement. Since the mine is a pit, movement of sediment from the pit will be
negligible.
3. a. Will the operation involve washing the material mined, recycling process water, or other waste water
handling? Yes No X . if yes, briefly describe all such processes including any chemicals to be
used.
b. Will the operation involve discharging fresh or wastewater from the mine or plant as a point discharge to
the waters of the State? Yes X No . If yes, briefly describe the nature of the discharge and
locate all proposed discharge points (along with their method of stabilization) on your mine map(y).
The discharge will consist of exfiltrated groundwater and collected rainwater, all of which will be
pumped to a stilling basin. Once it reaches the stilling basin, it will be diverted to a level spreader
and sheet flow through a vegetated buffer to the Royal Oak Swamp which feeds to the Beaverdam
Swamp.

APPLICATION FOR A MINING PEPUMIT
c. Will any part of the proposed mine excavation(s) extend below the water table?
Yes X No . If yes, do you intend to dewater the excavation(s)? Yes X
No . If yes, what impact, if any, will mine dewatering have on neighboring wells?
Estimated withdrawal rate in gallons per day: 70,000 . Locate all existing wells on the mine
map(v) that lie within 500 feet of the proposed excavation area. Provide data to support any
conclusions or statements made, including any monitoring well data, well construction data and
current water withdrawal rates. Indicate whether the proposed mine locale is served by a public
water system or private wells.
Due to distance to existing wells and relative shallow depth of mine, no impact is expected.
d. If you answered yes to any of the above questions, provide evidence that you have applied for or
obtained the appropriate water quality permit(s) (i.e., non -discharge, NPDES, Stormwater, etc.) from
the Division of Water Quality, Water Quality Section. In addition, the applicant is required to
register water use with the Division of Water Resources if the operation withdraws more than
100,000 gallons per day and needs a capacity use permit from the Division of Water Resources if the
operation lies in a capacity use area and withdraws more than 100,000 gallons per day.
Permit application is attached.
4. a. Will the operation involve crushing or any other air contaminant emissions?
Yes No X If yes, indicate evidence that you have applied for or obtained an air
quality permit issued by the Division of Air Quality or local governing body.
b. How will dust from stockpiles, haul roads, etc., be controlled?
Due to the sandy nature of soil, dust is not expected to be a problem. Also buffer distances to
inhabited areas are extensive.
