Robert,
The last hit of needed information was about whether the drainage feature on site were ditches or streams was
conducted by Chris Pullinger and is attached. Chris did not call the feature a stream which will allow Mr. Hurdle to place
several check dams within the feature to help per DLR with erosion and sediment control. I'm good with the 0&M.

On -Site Determination of Surface Waters of the State of North Carolina
Dear Mr. Hurdle:
At your request I conducted an on -site determination to review a drainage feature located
on the subject property to identify any streams that would qualify as surface waters. The
project area is labeled as "201 1-0372" on the attached map initialed by me on May 3,
2011. "rhe project is located on the north side of SR 1227, approximately 0.75 miles
north of the intersection of SR 1227 and US HWY 17.
The Division of Water Quality (DWQ) has determined that the surface water that is
circled, highlighted in red, and labeled as "2011-0372" on the attached map appears
to be it man-made ditch that would not he considered to be considered a natural
stream. This feature may be considered a jurisdictional feature by the U.S. Army Corps
of Engineers. This feature should be identified on any future plans for this property. The
owner (or future owners) should notify the DWQ (and other relevant agencies) of this
decision in any future correspondences concerning this property. This on -site
determination shall expire five (5) years from the date of this letter.
Landowners or affected parties that dispute a determination made by the DWQ or
Delegated Local Authority that a surface water exists and that it is subject to the buffer
rule may request a determination by the Director. A request for a determination by the
Director shall be referred to the Director in writing c/o Cyndi Karoly, DWQ, 401

Dear Mr. Vinson,

MAR 2 3 2011
I am writing this as an agent for Mr. Marty Hurdle, Marty Hurdle Sand Mine, Hertford, NC, in
regards to a DLR mining permit application #72-22, and NPDES General Permit application
#NCG020786. This letter is serving as an addendum to a revised O&M Plan sent to you on
February 23, 2011.
On page 3 of the O&M Plan, under the section titled Sediment & Erosion Control, Mr. Hurdle
needs to make a change regarding the proposed hydration swales. It was originally proposed to
have two 300ft swales located on the east and west sides of the excavation, to be used to
maintain hydration of the adjacent wetlands. The needed changes to this plan are as follows:
The western Swale will remain as proposed except that the swale will be constructed as
a continuous 300ft swale instead of a series of three 10011 overlapping swales. The
western swale is being constructed so that overflow during heavy rainfall events will
drain back into the excavation from the northern, lower end of the swale. There will be
no riprap rock baffle constructed in the middle of the swale for overflow protection, and
all overflows will go directly back into the pit. This will prevent the possibility of any
erosion occurring outside of the excavation and permit area while still allowing natural
groundwater hydration of the wetland. It is to Mr. Hurdle's advantage to retain as
much water as possible in the excavation as one of the main purposes of the excavation
is to provide a source of water for his crawfish operation.
« It will not be necessary to construct a hydration swale on the east side of the
excavation. The wetland adjacent to the eastern side is already being continuously
hydrated by an existing 0.89-acre sand -bottom commercial striped bass pond owned by
Mr. Hurdle and located at the headwaters of that wetland 390 feet east of the proposed
excavation. It is noted on the previously submitted mine overview map that the
delineated wetland encompasses the southern end of this existing pond. The existing

4 Elliott Consulting
pond is kept full 100% of the time, and maintains hydration of the wetland easily.
As stated on the previous O&M Plan, visual monitoring of adjacent wetlands for potential
dehydration during mining or dewatering activities will take place weekly, soil samples and
water levels in the swamp will be taken bi-weekly and documented, photography of the wetland
areas will be done monthly or as needed and documented.
Mr. Hurdle does hereby request NCDENR to expedite his permit applications and will be glad to
answer any questions.
Regards,
Ken Elliott

622 Rocky Hock Creek Road
Edenton, North Carolina 27932
Phone: [phone]
FEB 2 4 2011
I am writing this as an agent for Mr. Marty Hurdle, Marty Hurdle Sand Mine, Hertford, NC, in
regards to a DLR mining permit application # 72-22, and NPDES General Permit application #
NCG020786 . As a result of an on -site inspection by Mr. Gary Novak and request for further
information, and a request for further information from Mr. Scott Vinson, I am addressing the
issues noted and submitting a revised mine map and O&M plan.
The requests for further information from Mr, Novak and Mr. Vinson are addressed here as
follows:
1. Access rod culverts: Access road culverts location and size are shown on the attached
revised mine map. Erosion and sediment control for these culverts and construction
details are attached to this letter.
2. Check dams: Rock check -dams will be constructed in blue -line creek drainage ditch
adjacent to southern access road to prevent erosion and restrict sedimentation from
reaching downstream wetlands. Locations are shown on revised mine map and
construction details are attached to this letter.
3. Construction entrances: Two temporary construction entrances and their locations are
shown on the attached revised mine map. Construction details are attached to this
letter.
4. Peninsula: 1-acre peninsula shown on current mine and reclamation maps is classified
as excavated area at this time in order to prepare for potential final phase excavation at
end of permit life. Depending on conditions at that time, Mr. Hurdle will decide to
either excavate the peninsula back to a line from Point A to Point B on the mine map, or
to leave the peninsula in place at that time. Either way, all side slopes will be reclaimed
per permit specifications.
5. Northeastern access road across wetlands: Per my conversation with Mr. Vinson, and
letter from him on Feb. 15, 2011, it is understood that this access road is not a
•--------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------

proposed road, but rather, it has existed for some time. This access is not to be
improved except for the culvert, and it will not be used for mine equipment traffic.
O&M plan has been revised as such.
6. Outlet protection for 3 piped discharge outfalls: Discharge outfall protection (riprap
lined apron) will be constructed for all 3 mine dewatering overflow outfalls. Locations
are shown on mine map and construction details are attached to this letter.
7. Hydration swales: Two groups of 3 100-ft hydration swales will be constructed at
beginning of excavation process and will be put into operation during all dewatering
operations. Locations are shown on the mine map and construction details are
attached to this letter.
8. Wetland monitoring: Visual monitoring of adjacent wetlands for potential dehydration
during mining or dewatering activities will take place weekly, soil samples and water
levels in the swamp will be taken bi-weekly and documented, photography of the
wetland areas will be done monthly or as needed and documented.
9. Due to proximity of adjacent wetlands, all dewatering activity will be documented
regarding date and length of activity.
10. Dirt and gravel access roads and new State Stormwater management rules: Both
access roads to this excavation area were pre-existing prior to October 1, 2008. The
southern access road has been improved for mine equipment usage by addition of some
slag gravel to stabilize it through low areas, and 2 temporary construction entrances
(one 15'x50' and one 10'x50) are being built. Mr. Hurdle will apply for an additional
State Stormwater permit if required by NCDENR.
Mr. Hurdle does hereby request NCDENR to expedite these permit applications and will be glad
to answer any further questions.

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE PLAN
SAND MINE DEWATERING AND WATER CONTROL STRUCTURE
Operator: Marty R. Hurdle, 355 Swing Gate Road, Hertford, NC 27944
Job Location: Marty Hurdle Sand Mine, 355 Swing Gate Road, Hertford, NC 27944
County: Perquimans County
Prepared by: Ken Elliott, consultant
Date: December 31, 2010, Revised February 23, 2011
This plan defines responsibilities for operating, inspecting, and maintaining equipment and structures
used for constructing and dewatering the Marty Hurdle Sand Mine safely, and that dewatering will not
degrade or negatively impact any wetlands or waters of the state.
Description and Operation of the Marty Hurdle Sand Mine & Dewatering Process:
Marty Hurdle Sand Mine is a proposed new 4.7 acre excavation located 3 miles east of Hertford, NC on
high sandy land currently under cultivation with pasture and pine trees. There is an existing 0.57 acre
pond (Pond C) located 450 feet northeast of the proposed new excavation, and an existing 1.48 acre
crayfish pond (Pond D) located adjacent and east of Pond C. Pond C & D are connected by a 25ft x 8in
culvert buried under a causeway separating the two. Mr. Hurdle intends to use Ponds C & D when
dewatering the new excavation.
The proposed 4.7 acre excavation will be divided into 2 parts; the northern pond (Pond A, 1.3 acres) will
be excavated first, the southern pond (Pond B, 2.0 acres) will be dug afterward and separated by a 30ft
wide causeway. When both ponds are finished the causeway will be removed, making one large pond.
It will be necessary to dewater Ponds A & B as they are being excavated to allow the excavating
equipment to enter the excavated area and safely and efficiently remove the sand from the pond
bottom. This will allow for full depth excavation and proper reclamation of the edges of Ponds A & B. It
is the intention of Mr. Hurdle to only dewater the excavations as needed, which will not entail full-time
dewatering.
For excavation purposes, dewatering will occur roughly every 30 to 45 days which will allow excavating
equipment to remove approximately 150 loads up to ground level where it will be stockpiled for later
use. When the stockpile is depleted from usage, the excavation area will again be dewatered, and
another quantity of sand will be excavated.
In addition, and in lieu of as needed, water will be removed from the excavated ponds to use as a water
supply source to maintain correct water levels in Pond D for the existing commercial crayfish operation.
It is estimated that due to the porosity of the soil in the area, Sediment Pond C and Crayfish Pond D will
hold and disperse naturally most of the water removed from Ponds A & B during their excavation &
dewatering, without overflow from Ponds C & D.
Pond A (1.3 acres) will be excavated and dewatered by pumping groundwater through 6in and 8in
irrigation pipe 450 feet to Pond C, and sediment will be allowed to settle there before standpipe

overflow to adjacent wetland forest. Upon needs of the commercial crayfish operation, instead of
allowing Pond C to overflow directly, water will be allowed to flow into Pond D through an 8in culvert
under the causeway separating Ponds C & D. Excess water beyond what is needed to maintain correct
water levels in Pond D will be allowed to overflow to adjacent wetland forest from Pond D. Water will
be pumped by a 6in gasoline -powered transfer pump operating at idle speed.
After excavation of Pond A is complete, excavation of Pond B will begin. Pond B (2.0 acres) will be
excavated and dewatered into adjacent Pond A and sediment will be allowed to settle there before
standpipe overflow to adjacent wetland forest. Alternately, if water is periodically needed to maintain
water levels in Pond D, water will be pumped from Pond A into Pond C, where it will be allowed to flow
by culvert into Pond D. Water will be pumped by a 6in gasoline -powered transfer pump operating at
idle speed.
There will be 3 overflow discharge points in the permit area: Pond A on the north end, Pond C on the
north end, and Pond D on the north end. All 3 discharge points will release clear water to an adjacent
wetland forest draining to Mill Creek and Perquimans River (see map for discharge point locations).
Each overflow will consist of a water height control structure located just below the top lip of the
sediment pond and will control the water level in the pond so that it will not overflow uncontrollably
onto adjacent lands and fields. The water -height control structure will consist of a 6in wide vertical PVC
pipe with an adjustable head that allows the operator to change the angle of the inlet up or down to
achieve the water height needed in the pond. The control structure will allow water to flow through a
buried 6in culvert pipe into an existing 3ft wide woods ditch located approximately 25ft from the edge
of the sediment pond. The overflow water from the sediment pond will exit the pipe through an outlet
stabilized with a 20ft long riprap-lined apron in the ditch. There is an existing control structure as
described above located on the north end of Pond C and Pond D, and these 2 structures have been in
place for the last 8 years and used as needed in Mr. Hurdle's permitted commercial crayfish operation.
After excavation of Pond B is complete, the operator will excavate and remove the causeway separating
Pond A and Pond 8, as well as a portion of, or the entire, peninsula remaining between the two ponds
(see map). Upon finish, Marty Hurdle Sand Mine will be a single pond with an average 20ft depth and
maximum 25ft depth, and a maximum acreage of 4.7 acres if the entire peninsula is removed.
There will be no chemicals or flocculants added to the water in the sediment ponds to accelerate
sedimentation. Time and distance will allow all sedimentation to occur to acceptable levels before the
overflow water reaches the wetland forest and then the waters of the State. In Pond A the water
control structure & overflow will be located approximately 360ft from the inlet of water from Pond B.
Pond A will be 1.3 acres in size and will have enough surface area to allow efficient sedimentation to
occur. In Pond C the water control structure & overflow will be located approximately 250ft from the
inlet of water from Pond A. In Pond D the water control structure & overflow will be located
approximately 360ft from the inlet of water from Pond A. There will be a minimum 2ft tall berm around
the perimeter of the excavation and the sediment pond to prevent offsite stormwater from entering
Pond A or B and damaging sedimentation rates.

Sedimentation and Erosion Control
There is wetland forest surrounding a blue -line creek on the east, west and north side of the proposed
excavation, located 75 —120 feet from the excavation edge. The operator will establish a 50ft
undisturbed buffer (no disturbance of any kind) adjacent to the east, west and north perimeter of the
permit area. This buffer will be maintained by the operator as pasture with grass and pine tree ground
cover.
In addition there will be a 25ft unexcavated buffer (may contain roadways, stockpiles, and sediment &
erosion control devices) around the entire excavation area, between the excavation and the
undisturbed buffer. Inside of this unexcavated buffer, the operator will build and establish a narrow
300ft x 10ft x 2ft deep closed -end Swale area on the east and west side of the excavation, between it
and the wetland. The purpose of these swales is twofold: in the event that monitoring shows that the
adjacent wetlands are being affected or degraded by dewatering, the swales will be filled with water
from the excavation and kept full, to serve as device to hydrate the wetland located downhill from the
excavation. Secondly, there will be a small 6ft wide x 2ft tall sand berm running on the outside edge of
each Swale, which will help the swale capture any eroded sediment from the excavation process. The
swales will be built at the beginning of excavation operations and will be filled during dewatering
activities to maintain adjacent wetland hydration. Outside of dewatering activities the swales will
capture rainfall runoff which will also help wetland hydration. There will also be the establishment of a
6ft wide x 2ft tall sand berm around the southern perimeter of the excavation. This will prevent erosion
from damaging the excavation edges on this high end of the excavation.
The operator will establish a continuous silt fence along the outside edge of the unexcavated buffer on
the east, west and north sides of the excavation, which are the lowest portions of the area. This will
prevent any erosion from leaving the excavation area and damaging wetlands on the outside of the
undisturbed area during processing. All erosion and sedimentation will remain inside of the permit area.
During mining operations and dewatering, the majority of the water leaving the excavation will remain
inside of the permit area and will only overflow occasionally. The majority of the water will be used in
Pond D to maintain needed water levels there. The two ponds are shallow, and there is a sand layer
below the bottom of the ponds. Currently water is constantly draining naturally back into the water
table through the pond bottoms. The porosity of the soil under Ponds C & D will allow most of the
water pumped into those ponds from dewatering to seep back into the ground naturally, and is in fact
why the operator needs a good supply of water to maintain correct water levels. Any excess water
overflowing from Ponds C or D will flow downstream towards the wetland forest surrounding the
excavation area, and then on to Mill Creek.

Maintaining the Water Height Control Structure, Settlement Pond, Ditches, and Irrigation System
Inspections and maintenance are required to obtain the intended function of safely dewatering the sand
mine, and to maintain the life of any adjacent wetlands or waters of the State. Items to inspect and
maintain during the 10 year life of the mine dewatering permit are:
• Inspect the water control structures regularly, especially following heavy rains and runoff, or
during periods of operation of the structure.
• Remove accumulated debris from the control structure inlet pipe.
• Inspect the structure for,excessive settlement or seepage.
• Inspect all components of the structure, including appurtenances, and repair or replace 6ny
damaged items as needed.
• inspect embankments, berms and appurtenant structures, and repair as needed.
• Repair any damage to vegetated areas or berms with compacted earth fill, reshaping, sodding,
reseeding and mulching as needed.
• Check frequently for burrowing animals. When found, remove the burrowing animals, replace
embankment materials and reseed.
• Inspect all ditches regularly leading from the excavation area for stormwater erosion, especially
after heavy rains, repair ditch banks as necessary with compacted earth, remove all
accumulated debris in ditch to allow free flow of water. Inspect riprap outlet stabilization
structures in ditches regularly, replace dislodged rock as necessary.
• Promptly repair all leaks in delivery facilities by replacing valves, fittings, gaskets, and worn or
damaged parts.
Maintain all screens, filters, valves, timers and other electrical and mechanical equipment in
good operating condition, following manufacturer's recommendations
Monitoring the Process and Effects of Dewatering
Analytical and qualitative monitoring of mine dewatering wastewater will be in accordance with the
NCG020000 permit, as follows:
• All ponds in the Marty Hurdle Sand Mine permit area will be inspected daily by the operator to
identify any abnormal conditions.
• All berms and erosion control and sedimentation control structures will be inspected following
significant (1/2-inch) rainfall events for damages, and all structures will be repaired immediately.
• Special inspections will be conducted immediately following severe storms, vandalism, and
other significant events.
• Dewatering process will be inspected daily during periods of dewatering the excavation.
• Quarterly inspection of dewatering wastewater will be accomplished along with a general
inspection of the facility. Samples will be taken from sediment pond inlets for quality
comparison to sediment pond overflow outlet samples, if overflow is occurring.
• Overflow of wastewater process will be inspected daily during periods of dewatering the
excavation.

• Outflow of dewatering wastewater will be monitored quarterly at the overflow exit stabilization
structure for pH, settleable solids, turbidity, and total flow. Samples will be collected and tested
onsite for pH, and the remainder will be tested for the remaining parameters by a North
Carolina certified lab.
• Rain gauge data will be collected by monitoring a rain gauge monthly and after each rain event.
Records
Data will be collected as follows:
• Data will be collected from samples taken from all wastewater point source discharges in
operation at the time.
o Overflow discharge point on Pond C sediment pond.
o Overflow discharge point on Pond D crayfish pond.
o Overflow discharge point on Pond A when used as sediment pond.
• Data will also be collected from samples taken from the mining wastewater inlet from Pond C
sediment pond for comparison to wastewater overflow samples from Ponds C or D.
• Point source discharge data: data from each site taken, date & time, general weather conditions,
pH of sample, status of process at point source, inlet or outlet, other DWQ required data.
• Visual monitoring of adjacent wetlands for potential dehydration during mining or dewatering
activities will take place weekly, soil samples and water levels in the swamp will be taken bi-
weekly and documented, photography of the wetland areas will be done monthly or as needed
and documented. Solutions to any degradation caused by any mining activity will include
alteration of dewatering process. DWQ will be consulted as needed; alterations to process will
be recorded.
Elliott Consulting will maintain the following records in a permanent file at the Elliott Consulting
office at 622 Rocky Hock Creek Road, Edenton, NC 27932: a record of all significant actions
taken; as -built drawings; permits; analytical results from sampling; and related material. Copies
of all inspections, monitoring reports and lab analyses shall be provided to NCDWQ on a regular
basis and as requested.

BMP Conditions
• The permittee will utilize best management practices to ensure that dewatering Marty Hurdle
Sand Mine will not degrade or negatively impact any wetlands or waters of the State.
• The permittee shall obtain authorization from'the Director of the NCDWQ prior to utilizing any
Signed,
chemical flocculants at Marty Hurdle Sand Mine.

Design Considerations:
Maximum height 2 feet at center of dam. Center of check dam will be 9 inches below outer edges of
natural ground elevation. Dam constructed of NC DOT Class B stone and line the upstream side with NC
DOT #5 or #57 stone. Side slopes of dam will be 2:1 or flatter. Stone will be extended minimum 1.5 feet
beyond top edge of ditch to prevent overflow erosion. A layer of heavy duty synthetic filter fabric will
be installed between the stone and the underlying soil in the ditch bottom and extend up the ditch bank
slopes to prevent soil movement into or through the rock from below. Check dams (3) will be spaced to
assure elevation at top of lower dam is same as the toe elevation of the upper dam.
Maintenance:
Inspect check dams and channels weekly and after every significant rainfall event and repair any damage
immediately. Clean out any sediment or debris that could clog the channel immediately. Add stones to
dam as needed to maintain design height and cross section.
6.15 Riprap Slope Protection around Culverts
A layer of stone designed to protect and stabilize area around 3 access road culvert outlets that are
subject to erosion.
Materials: Riprap will consist of a well graded mixture of NCDOT Class A (2" to 6") stone or slag.
Thickness: Minimum thickness of riprap will be 1.5 times the maximum stone diameter.

Width: Riprap layer will extend to a 3 feet diameter at top of bank around culvert outlet and then down
bank to ditch bottom below culvert outlet.
Filter: Operator plans to install a layer of heavy duty silt fence filter cloth between the riprap and the
underlying soil to prevent soil movement into or through the riprap. Filter cloth will extend 3 feet at top
of bank around culvert outlet, down bank and to bottom of ditch below culvert outlet.
Maintenance: inspect riprap outlet structures weekly and after significant rainfall events to see if any
erosion around or below the riprap has taken place, or if stones have become dislodged. Repair all
damage immediately. Maintain all vegetation adjacent to the channel in healthy condition to prevent
scour or erosion during out -of -bank flow. Control weeds and brush growing in the riprap by cutting.

Temporary Hydrating Swale Construction Details
Marty Hurdle Sand Mine
Hertford, NC
Perquimans County
Photo 1:New excavated Swale Photo 2: Swale after rain
Similar to a contour bank, this rehydration swale is being constructed to ensure hydration of nearby
wetlands adjacent to the permit boundary of the Marty Hurdle Sand Mine. The swale will consist of 3
100-foot long by 10-foot wide closed -end swales that will parallel the land contour and which will
overlap or butt up to each other. The swales will be located along the western and eastern unexcavated
boundaries between the excavation area and the wetland. Unlike a contour bank, there will be no
water flow but water will collect in the swale from rainfall and by intentional filling from the excavation
during periods of dewatering. The water in the swales will be absorbed by the swale and taken
underground to recharge the adjacent wetland.
Construction: A fiat -bottomed V-shaped level closed -end trench 6-foot wide by 1-2 feet deep will be
dug parallel to the contour of the land in 100-foot lengths. The series of 3 100-foot closed end swales
will overlap or butt to each other. Trench will have minimum 2-ft wide flat bottom and 2:1 or flatter
sloped sides. The excavated soil will be placed uncompacted along the bottom side of the trench in a
round mound shaped berm minimum 1-ft high and 4-ft wide, which will allow surface run off from
above the swale to flow into the swale and be collected there, and then be absorbed into the ground.
The swale berm will be seeded with ground cover to prevent erosion. The side slopes and Swale
depression will be seeded to encourage ground cover growth. There will be a 2-ft tall silt fence erosion
barrier constructed behind and below the swale berm to collect any sedimentation from the Swale.

A 6-foot wide rock baffle consisting of rip -rap and smaller gravel will be constructed in each Swale berm
at its lowest contour point to allow passive discharge of overflow water during periods of heavy rain,
through a level sill spillway approximately 9-feet long. This will spill a level sheet of water 3-5 mm deep
to run across the surrounding grass, through the silt fence, and into the wetland. This sheet flow water
will prevent concentrated flow and erosion of the landscape.
Coarsa annrenata
Annual Maintenance:
• Inspect rock baffle for clogging and correct the problem.
• Inspect and correct erosion problems in the sand/soil bed of swales.
• Inspect grass along side -slopes for erosion and formation of rills or gullies and correct.
• Based on inspection, plant an alternative grass species if the original grass cover has not been
successfully established.
Maintenance (as needed)
• Inspect swale berms weekly and after every rainfall, repair as needed.
• Till or cultivate the surface of the sand/soil bed of swales if the swale does not draw down
within 48 hours.
• Remove sediment build-up within the bottom of the swale once it has accumulated to 25% of
the original design volume.
• Mow grass to maintain a height of three to four inches

Riprap Apron Size: Overflow pipe discharges directly into well-defined channel. The apron will extend
across the channel bottom and up the channel banks to the top of the bank. Length of apron will be 20-
feet downstream to maintain velocity control of maximum 2.0 feet per second.
Grade: Apron will have zero grade and no overfill at end of apron.
Alignment: Apron will be straight throughout entire length if possible. If curve is necessary to align the
apron with the receiving channel, the curve will be located in the upstream section of the riprap.
Materials: Riprap will consist of a well graded mixture of NCDOT Class A (2" to 6") stone or slag.
Thickness: Minimum thickness of riprap will be 1.5 times the maximum stone diameter.

Filter: Operator plans to install a layer of heavy duty silt fence filter cloth between the riprap and the
underlying soil to prevent soil movement into or through the riprap. Filter cloth will extend to the top of
both channel banks, and edges will overlap 12 inches. Upstream end will be buried 12 inches and
downstream end will be buried if necessary.
Maintenance: inspect riprap outlet structures weekly and after significant rainfall events to see if any
erosion around or below the riprap has taken place, or if stones have become dislodged. Repair all
damage immediately. Maintain all vegetation adjacent to the channel in healthy condition to prevent
scour or erosion during out -of -bank flow. Control weeds and brush growing in the riprap by cutting.

Dear Mr. Hurdle:

February 15, 2011
Subject: General Permit No. NCG020000
Marty Hurdle Sand Mine, NCG020786
Perquimans County
Dee Freeman
Secretary
The Division of Water Quality's Stormwater Permitting Unit received the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination
System (NPDFS) permit application for the subject project on January 6, 2011. The Division of Water Quality's Washington
Regional Office (WaRO) received this permit application, plans and Operation and Maintenance Plan (O&M) for the subject
mine project on January 24, 2011. The O&M was reviewed and has been determined as incomplete. The following
additional information is needed:
1. Please provide outlet protection (riprap pads, erosion control matting, etc.) for the three piped discharge outfalls.
Considered along with the pump's pumping rate, the protection must provide non -erosive flow (2ft/sec) into the
wetlands.
2. The plans have the secondary access road shown through wetlands.. After a phone conversation with your consultant,
Ken Elliot, it is understood that this access road has existed for some time, that it is not to be improved except for the
culvert and that it will not be used for mine equipment traffic. Please revise the plans and/or narrative to show these
things.
3. Please increase the frequency of the adjacent wetland monitoring to; be performed. Quarterly, is too long between
wetland inspections.
4. Please provide additional information on the hydration swales such as the elevations, cross sections with slopes and
depths, etc.. Please also consider using these swales during all the mine dewatering events, not just for use after
wetland degradation has already occurred.
The General Mine Dewatering Permit (NCG02) application is being processed in DWQ's Raleigh Central Office.
Upon permit issuance (NCG020786), an Approved O&M plan will be required within 60 days of receipt of the permit. The
O&M plan must be approved by the WaRO in order to remain compliant with the permit. Non-compliance may subject you
to appropriate enforcement actions in accordance with North Carolina General Statues 143-215.6. Civil penalties of up to
$25,000 per day per violation may be assessed for failure to comply with a permit required by NCGS 143-215.1. No mine
dewatering is allowed prior to the approval of the Operation & Monitoring plan.
Your prompt attention to submitting a revision of the O&M plan will assist with permit compliance and will be
greatly appreciated. Please send to:

Attachments: 72-22 DLR - Water Quality Review Sheet 2010.pdf
All,
Please find attached the DWQ review sheet for the Marty Hurdle Sand Mine (DLR permit appl.# 72-22) located at 355
Swing Gate Rd, Hertford, NC. (The project has a coreesponding DWQ dewatering permit application in house to DWQ #
NCG020786.) I have a few minor concerns about the proposed sand mine. The first deals mainly with the proposed
secondary access road and it's crossing 401/404 wetlands and the need for a 401/404 certification through the USACOE
& DWQ. The second concern deals with altering their O&M plan to install and operate the 2. hydration swales prior to
finding any -wetland degradation, not after.
If you have any questions please call or write.
Thanks,
Scott

Dear Mr. Hurdle:
Dee Freeman
Secretary
The Division of Water Quality's Stormwater Permitting Unit received a National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System (NPDES) permit application for Marty Hurdle Sand Mine on January 6, 2011. The
application included a copy of an associated application for a mining pen -nit submitted to the Division of
Land Resources (DLR). Please be aware that the issuance of an NPDES permit is contingent upon the
issuance of an associated mining permit from DLR. Our office will process your stormwater permit
application once a DLR mining permit has been issued for your project.
Please also be aware that since your project is located near wetlands, your NPDES permit will require
dewatering operations without wetland impacts. The specific requirements for mine dewatering at facilities
near wetlands can be found in the text of the general NPDES mining permit number NCG 020000 available
on our website, http://portal.nedenr.org/web/wq/ws/su/npdessw. See Part I l I, Section E of the permit. An
approved Operation and Monitoring Plan is required for NPDES-permitted mining facilities and may be
required prior to permit issumice. Discharging mine dewatering wastewater without Plan approval will be
subject to enforcement action. A Plan for your facility must be submitted to the Washington Regional Office
within 60 days of your receipt of an NPDES pennit. We encourage you to contact Thom Edgerton at the
Washington Regional Office at [phone] to address any wetland concerns for your facility in order to
ensure a successful NPDES application review. A copy ofyour application package (including the Oct -Al
Plan) -has been font-arded to Rfr. Edgerton.
Additionally, new coastal storrrrwater management rules (SESSION LAW 2008-21 1) were implemented
October 1, 2008. Due to these new rules you may be required to apply for an additional State Stormwater
Permit if you are adding; new impervious area. Please contact Scott Vinson in the Washington Regional
Office at [phone] to determine if you will be required to submit an application for this additional
pen -nit.
If you have any questions concerning the NPDES pen -nit approval process, please contact me at (919) 807-
6375, or at robert_patterson nWncdcnr.qov.

• Stormwater from vehicle maintenance activities at mining operations;
• Overflow from facilities that recycle process wastewater; and/or
• Mine dewatering (wastewater)
The following activities are specifically excluded from coverage under this General Permit: t 1
• Stormwater discharges associated with peat mining, coal mining, and metal mining;
• Stormwater discharges from mining operations which are intermixed on site with stormwater from
operations and/or concrete operations;
• Stormwater discharges associated with oil and gas extraction operations; and
• Stormwater discharges associated with tourist gem mines
• NCDOT borrow pits are covered under NCS000150
The following discharges are covered by NPDES general permit NCG520000 instead of NCGO20000:
• Point source discharges of stormwater and wastewater from in -stream sand mining operations (i.e., sand
dredging or dipping operations)
For new mining sites that require an authorization to construct (ATC) wastewater treatment facilities: This
NOI is also an APPLICATION FOR an ATC for new wastewater treatment facilities. ATC requests must be
submitted at least 90 days prior to construction'.
For exf stinct mining sites that require an Authorization to Operate (A TO) wastewater treatment facilities:
This NOI is also an APPLICATION FOR an ATO for wastewater treatment facilities in place.
Construcffon, modificationn, or installation of any new treatment comonents at an existing site requires
an ATC. (if the site is already covered by NCG020000, the ATC request may be submitted without an NOI).
Some wastewater treatment facilities used to treat or recycle process wastewater (even if commingled
with stormwater) at mining sites will require an ATC prior to construction per 15A NCAC 2H .0138.
Please see the NCG020000 General Permit for details about which treatment facilities require an
ATC (summarized in Table 1 at the end of this form). For example, an ATC is required for treatment
of mine dewatering discharge from clay pits and non -closed -loop wastewater recycle systems. The
authorization to construct or continue to operate will be issued at the same time as the Certificate of
Coverage (COC) for the NCG02 permit. Design of treatment facilities must comply with requirements
of 15A NCAC 2H .0138 & .0139.

13LLIOTT CONSULTING
January 3, 2011
To Whom It May Concern:
This nurse permit application is for a new 4.7-acre sand none excavation constxucted by
Marty R. Hurdle, on his property at 355 Swing Gate }toad, Hertford, NC 27944, in
Perquitrans Count}. The requested permit area is located on a high, sandy 25 acre parcel
and, upon establishment of proposed erosion & sediment control treasures, will not present
any problems regarding runoff to adjacent areas. The purpose of the excavation will be to
serve as a source of sand for resale, to provide a source of water for Mr. Hurdle's
commercial crayfish operation, as well as providing a pond for recreational use by Mr.
Hurdle's family. The excavated pond will also be available for use as a water source by the
local volunteer fire department.
There is an existing 0.57 acre pond (Pond C) located 450 feet northeast of the proposed
new excavation, and an existing 1.48 acre crayfish pond (Pond D) located adjacent and east
of Pond C. Pond C & D are connected by a 25ft x 8in culvert buried under a causeway
separating the two. Mr. Hurdle intends to use Ponds C & D when dewatering the new
excavation.
The proposed 4.7 acre excavation will be divided into 2 parts; the northern pond (Pond
A, 1.3 acres) will be excavated first, the southern pond (Pond 11, 2.0 acres} will be dug
afterward and separated by a 30ft wide causeway. When both ponds are finished the
causeway will be removed, making one large pond.
It will be necessary to dewater Ponds A & B as they are being excavated to allow the
excavating equipment to enter the excavated area and safely and efficiently remove the sand
from the pond bottom. This will allow for full depth excavation and proper reclamation of
the edges of fonds A & B. It is the intention of Mr. Hurdle to only dewater the excavations
as needed, which will not entail full-time dewateri ng.
For excavation purposes, dewatcring will occur roughly every 30 to 45 days which will
allow excavating equipment to remove approximately 150 loads up to ground level where it
will be stockpiled for later use. When the stockpile is depleted from usage, the excavation
area will again be dewatered, and another quantity of sand will be excavated.
In addition, and in lieu of as needed, water will be removed from the excavated ponds to
use as a water supply source to maintain correct water levels in Pond D for the existing
commercial crayfish operation. It is estimated that due to the porosity of the soil in the area,
Sediment Pond C and Crayfish Pond D will hold and disperse naturally most of the water
removed from Ponds A & S during their excavation & dewatering, without overflow from
Ponds C & D.
Pond A (1.3 acres) will be excavated and dewatered by pumping groundwater through
Gin and 8in irrigation pipe 450 feet to Pond C, and sediment will be allowed to settle there
before standpipe overflow to adjacent wetland forest. Upon needs of the commercial
crayfish operation, instead of allowing Pond C to overflow directly, water will be allowed to
flow into Pond D through an 8in culvert under the causeway separating fonds C & D.

— 2 — January 3, 2011
Excess water beyond what is needed to maintain correct water levels in Pond D will be
allowed to overflow to adjacent wetland forest from Pond D. Water will be pumped by Gin
gasoline -powered transfer pump operating at idle speed.
After excavation of Pond A is complete, excavation of Pond B will begin. Pond B (2.0
acres) will be excavated and dewatered into adjacent Pond A and sediment will be allowed to
settle there before standpipe overflow to adjacent wetland forest. Alternately, if water is
periodically needed to maintain water levels in Pond D, water will be pumped from Pond it
into Pond C, where it will be allowed to flow by culvert unto fond D. Water will be pumped
by a Gin gasoline -powered transfer pump operating at idle speed.
There will be 3 overflow discharge points in the permit area: Pond A on the north end,
Pond C on the north end, and Pond D on the north end. All 3 discharge points will release
clear water to an adjacent wetland forest draining to Mill Creek and Perquimans River.
After excavation of Pond l3 is complete, the operator will excavate and remove the
causeway separating Pond A and Pond B, as well as a portion of, or the entire, peninsula
remaining between the two ponds (see map). Upon finish, Marty Hurdle Sand Mine will be
a single pond with an average 20ft depth and maximum 25ft depth, and a maximum acreage
of 4.7 acres if the entire peninsula is removed.
There is wetland forest surrounding a blue -line creek on the east, west and north side of
the proposed excavation, located 75 -- 120 feet from the excavation edge. The operator will
establish a 50ft undisturbed buffer (no disturbance of any kind) adjacent to the east, west
and north perimeter of the permit area. "Phis buffer will be maintained by the operator as
pasture with grass and pine tree ground cover.
In addition there will be a 25ft unexcavated buffer (may contain roadways, stockpiles,
and sediment & erosion control devices) around the entire excavation ;rrca, between the
excavation and the undisturbed buffer.. Inside of this unexcavated buffer, the operator will
build and establish a narrow 300ft x 15ft x 3ft deep closed -end swale on the cast and west
side of tine excavation, between it and the wetland. The purpose of these swales is twofold:
in the event that monitoring shows that the adjacent wetlands are being affected or degraded
by dewateting, the swales will be filled with water from the excavation and kept full, to serve
as device to hydrate the wetland located downhill from the excavation. Secondly, there will
be a small Gft wide x 2ft tall sand berm running on the outside edge of each swale, which
will help the swale capture any eroded sediment from the excavation process. IIlie swales
will only be built if observation shows any degradation of foliage in the wetland. If they are
needed they can be built quickly and will be grassed over to prevent erosion.
Another erosion control method used will be the establishment of a Gft wide x 2ft tall
sand berm around the southern perimeter of the excavation. This will prevent erosion from
damaging the excavation edges on this high end of the excavation.
The operator will also establish a continuous silt fence along the outside edge of the
unexcavated buffer on the cast, west and north sides of the excavation, which are the lowest
portions of the area. "This will prevent any erosion from leaving the excavation area and

— 3 — January 3, 2011
damaging wetlands on the outside of the undisturbed area during processing. All erosion
and sedimentation will remain inside of the permit area.
During mining operations and dewatcring, the majority of the water leaving the
excavation will remain inside of the permit area and will only overflow occasionally. The
majority of the water will be used in Pond D to maintain needed water levels there. The two
ponds are shallow, and there is a sand layer below the bottom of the ponds. Currently water
is constantly draining naturally back into the water table through the pond bottoms. The
porosity of the soil under Ponds C & D will allow most of the water pumped into these
ponds from dewaterulg to seep back into the ground naturally, and is in fact why the
operator needs a good supply of water to maintain correct water levels. Any excess water
overflowing from Ponds C or D will flow downstream towards the wetland forest
surrounding the excavation area, and then on to Mill Creek.
The excavation area is located geographically 500 feet from the ncarest dwelling
(operator's residence) and 450 feet from the nearest public highway in a lightly populated
area, and is accessible only by a private, gated access road. Distance from highways and
dwellings along with wooded areas and fields on all sides of the excavation area provide
adequate screening of the mitring operation, and the site is barely visible from the closest
highway. Access to the permit area is limited by private property, and private road access.
Upon receipt of the approved permits from NCDENR land Quality and Water Quality,
Mr. Hurdle plans to excavate the mine to all average depth of 20 feet below natural ground
level, and will include construction of proper cut slopes on all sides of the excavated area, as
required in the pernut. Reclamation of the mine area will include grading, leveling, and
grassing of all affected areas. Mr. Hurdle plans to seed all sloped areas with ground cover to
provide good erosion control.
All adjacent landowners have been contacted and have been made aware: of the
proposed mining and dewatcring operation. The Perquiinans County Managcr has been
contacted regarding this application and land entry agreements have been obtained. The
mine area will be well marked with warding and keep out signrs to prevent inadvertent public
access.
Mr. Hurdle does hereby request approval for this mining and dewatcring permit
application, and asks that it be expedited as soon as possible. Mr. Hurdle appreciates your
consideration of this permit application and looks forward working with NCDENlt in
coming years.
Sincerely,
Ken l-lliott

C. PROTECTION OF NATURAL RESOURCES
Describe in detail the sequence of events for the development and operation ofthe mine and re%ererrce rhc
Sequence to the min ruup(.$). Attach additional sheets as needed.
1. Acquire proper- permits from NC Department of Environment and Natural Resources.
2. Site laid out with 50tt undisturbed buffer on north, northeast & west side of permit area
adjacent to wetlands, and 25ft unexcavated buffer around entire excavation area.
3. Operator installs silt fence around north, northeast and west perimeter of unexcavated buffer
between unexcavated and undisturbed bufler. Silt fence will also be installed along per'inreter
of northeast access road where it crosses wetland forest.
4. Operator will dig excavation in 4 phases (see attached phase diagrarns);
i Operator will excavate Pond A (1.308 acres) to full depth by dewatering into existing
Pond C, then reclaiming side slopes in Pond A. Sediment Pond C will overflow from
a point source discharge overflow pipe on north end of pond into adjacent wetland
forest. Pond A will then serve as sediment pond l'or I'rrrther adjacent excavation &
dewatering in Pond B.
ii. Operator will next excavate Pond B (2.020 acres) to full depth by dewatering into
Pond A. Pond A will overflow from point source discharge point on north end of
pond. Depending on need, Pond A will instead be dewatered into Pond C:, and
overflow on the north end of that pond, or into Pond D and overflow there.
iii Operator will then excavate & remove causeway between ]'on(] A & Pond 13, leaving
one larger- pond (3.560 acres) with peninsula on northeast side.
iv. At. his discretion, operator will excavate & remove all or part of remaining peninsula
on northeast side ofpond to increase total excavation area. Operator will decide how
much to remove dependin 1 on needs & wislies at that time. Entire peninsula will be
permitted to be removed Flesired.
5. The prialary purpose of this excavation will be to provide a source of I -esh water. for the
operator's crayfish pond (Pond D). It is estimated that Clue to the porosity of the soil in the
area, Sediment Pond C and Crayfish Pond D will hold and disperse naturally most of the
water removed from Ponds A & B during their excavation & dewatering, without overflow
from Ponds C & D. All 3 proposed point source discharges will be permitted by DWQ before
dewatering, and will be monitored during the permit term.
6. Each excavation area will in turn first have topsoil removed clown to 2.5 feet below natural
ground level and stockpiled, and then sand will be dug frorlr excavation area by excavator
down to average 10 feet Below existing natural ground level, and stockpiled for later removal
from premises.
7. To complete full depth excavation and slope construction of the pond edges, each proposed
excavation will have to be dewatered.
8. Pond A; operator will establish a dewatering pump on the northeast corner of the excavation,
and will run bin (expanding to 81n) irrigation pipe to existing Pond C (0.57 acres) located 450
feet east of the Pond A. Pond C will serve as sediment pond for excavation & dewatering of
Pond A and will be permitted to overflow form a point source discharge located on the north
end of that pond, which will overflow into an adjacent wetland forest, leading 10 Mill Creek &,
Perquimans River. Pond C will also serve as a water source for existing Crayfish Pond 1),
currently permitted by NC Dept. of Agriculture. Depending on need, part of water from
Pond C will instead be directed to and flow into Pend D by a culvert connecting the two
ponds, and will overflow if necessary from a point source discharge overflow pipe on north
end of that pond, into adjacent wetland forest.
9. Excavation of Pond B will begin after the north, east & west side slopes of Pond A are
completed &ground cover reclamation started. Pond B will be excavated south of Pond A,
leaving a 30ft wide causeway between the two ponds. Operator will establish a dewatering
pump on the causeway, and will dewater Pond B into Pond A, which will serve as a sediment
pond. Pond A will have an overflow discharge point established on the north end of It which
will overflow into an adjacent wetland forest, leading to Mill Creek & Perquimarrs River.
Alternatively, upon need, Pond A will be dewatered into Pond C (and Pond D) as described
above.
10. To dewater the Pond A excavation, water will be pumped slowly into PotjC1 C. Pump will run

a blue -line creek that flows westward 750 feet where it joins Mill Creek. Mill Creek Ilows
west and south 1.7 miles where itJoins Perqulmans Rlvei•. The excavation will be dewatered
as needed by the owner tiering the permit period in order to achieve full depth excavation.
12. Side slopes of Pond B will be reclaimed during dewatering.
13. After full depth excavations of Ponds A & B have been completed, the sand causeway
between the 2 ponds will be removed & excavated, leaving a single larger pond (3.560 acres).
14. Additional sand from the remaining peninsula will be excavated as per- operator requieements,
and remaining side slopes will be reclaimed.
15. Minimum 2: 1 graded slopes established around edges of pond area below groundwater level.
16. Minimum 3:1 graded slopes established around edges ofpond area above groundwater level.
IT After excavation and edge sloping is completed, a low I fit x 8ft berm will be established
around the entire perimeter of the excavated pond, with outside slope graded down to natural
ground level.
18. All former stockpile areas outside of the proposed excavation area will be leveled and graded
to natural ground level; any trash or debris cleaned up and removed.
19. Internal haul roads and processing areas of plain permit area will be leveled and graded to
natural ground level, to be returned to natural field state. A 1011 wide field path will remain
around the entire perimeter of the excavated pond for owner access.
20. Access roads & field paths to Swing Gate Road will be graded, leveled, and returned to pre-
existing state.
