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 existin mining sites that require an Authorization to Operate (ATO) wastewater treatment facilities:
This NOI is also an APPLICATION FOR an ATO for wastewater treatment facilities in place.

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE PLAN
SAND MINE DEWATERING AND WATER LEVEL CONTROL STRUCTURE
Operator: Frankie Brown, Brown's Land Developing., Inc., 182 Winfall Blvd., Hertford, NC 27944
Job Location: Joe Towe White Sand Mine, 962 S. Edenton Road St., Hertford, NC 27944
County: Perquimans County
Prepared by: Ken Elliott, consulting
Date: November 11, 2013
This plan defines responsibilities for operating, inspecting, and maintaining equipment and structures
used for constructing and dewatering the Joe Towe White Sand Mine safely, and that dewatering will
not degrade or negatively impact any wetlands or waters of the state.
Description and Operation of the Joe Towe White Sand Mine:
The Joe Towe White Sand Mine is a proposed 3.4-acre sand mine excavation operated by Frankie Brown,
Brown's Land Developing, Inc., in a 6.25 acre permit area located at the intersection of S. Edenton Road
Street and US 17 Bypass in the south Extraterritorial Jurisdiction area of Hertford, NC. The permit area is
on high sandy farmland owned. by Joe Towe White, Jr. At this time Mr. Brown is submitting an
application with the NCDENR Division of Energy, mineral and Land Resources to construct the sand mine
and begin operation in December 2013. Mr. Brown has received an approved Conditional Use Permit
from the Town of Hertford Planning and Zoning Department for construction of this mine.
Sand Mine Dewatering:
The operator plans to construct a 0.26 acre sedimentation pond located 30 feet from the northwest
corner of the main excavation. The 10 foot deep pond will be excavated and constructed with 2-ft tall
by 10-ft wide sand berms surrounding it which will have full groundcover installed. Dewatering the
main pond will allow for full depth excavation and proper reclamation of the edges of the pond. It is the
intention of Mr. Brown to only dewater the excavation as needed, which will not entail full-time
dewatering.
The operator will install a 6-inch dewatering pump between the 2 ponds at the northwest corner of the
main excavation. Discharge from the dewatering pump will enter the sediment pond on its east side,
and there will be a constructed water height control device (see attached diagram) discharge point
located on the west side of the sediment pond. The discharge point will release clear water to a 25 foot
long constructed riprap-protected ditch, leading to existing farm irrigation ditches and then 0.75 miles
to Raccoon Creek and 1.4 miles to the Perquimans River (see attached map for outflow route and
discharge point locations),
Water will be pumped from the main pond to the sediment pond by a bin gasoline -powered transfer
pump operating at idle speed. Estimated maximum flow from the pump will be 10,000 gallons/hour. It
is the intention of Mr. Brown to drop the water level in the main pond approximately 20 feet below
natural ground level when needed.

The overflow from the sediment pond will be controlled by a water height control device constructed in
the west sediment pond berm, 1 foot below natural ground level. This control structure will allow water
to flow through the baffle into a 25ft long x 15" wide buried PVC pipe leading west to an existing 6ft
wide irrigation and drainage ditch running north and east 1100 feet to Raccoon Creek and then 1.4 miles
to Perquimans River. For erosion control, the overflow water will exit the water height control discharge
onto a 20ft long riprap-lined apron in the ditch.
Time and distance will allow all sedimentation to occur to acceptable levels before the overflow water
reaches outfall and then the waters of the State. Water will have to travel a minimum of 150 feet to
reach the overflow point which will give enough surface area to allow sufficient sedimentation to occur.
There will be a minimum 2ft tall berm around the perimeter of the sediment pond to prevent offsite
stormwater from entering the sediment area and damaging sedimentation rates.
Sedimentation and Erosion Control
Sediment pond overflow will drain into a constructed 25ft x 6ft wide feeder ditch that leads 1100 feet
through field drainage ditches to Raccoon Creek and then 1.4 miles to Perquimans River. Overflow into
the feeder ditch will be stabilized by riprap installed in the feeder ditch at the overflow (see diagram) to
prevent erosion of the ditch.
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 sediment pond will be approximately 10 feet deep, and there is a
sand layer below the bottom of the area. The porosity of the soil under the sediment pond will allow
most of the water pumped into the pond from dewatering to seep back into the ground naturally. Any
excess water overflowing from the sediment pond will flow downstream through existing irrigation and
drainage ditches 1100 feet towards Raccoon Creek, and then 1.4 miles to the Perquimans River.
Maintaining the Sediment Pond Overflow Control Structure, Settlement Pond and pitches
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 5 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 concrete block overflow control structure.
• Inspect the structure for excessive settlement or seepage.
• Inspect all components of the structure, including appurtenances, and repair or replace any
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.

• 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 Joe Towe White 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.
• 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 rain gauge data monthly and after each rain
event.
Records
Data will be collected as follows:
• Data will be collected from samples taken from the wastewater point source discharge in
operation at the time.
• Point source discharge data: data from the site taken quarterly, 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 farmland for potential dehydration during mining or dewatering
activities will take place weekly. 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 PO Box 112, 202 Elliott Road, Aydlett, INC 27916: 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 the Joe Towe
White 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
chemical flocculants at Joe Towe White Sand Mine.

Water Height Control: Construction Details
NRCS Code 587
Joe Towe White Sand Mine
Edenton Road Street, Hertford, NC
Perquimans County
DESCRIPTION
A structure in a water management system that conveys water, controls the direction or rate of flow, maintains a desired
water surface elevation or measures water. Water height control structure is standard structure used by agricultural and
horticultural farms in North Carolina to raise or lower water height in ditches and ponds per need.
PURPOSE
To convey water from one elevation to a lower elevation within, to, or from a water conveyance system, such as a ditch,
channel, canal, or pipeline designed to operate under open channel conditions. Typical structures: drops, chutes,
turnouts, surface water inlets, head gates, pump boxes, and stilling basins.
CONSTRUCTION (SEE ATTACHED DIAGRAM)
Structure consists of 25' x 15" horizontal PVC plastic outflow pipe running under farm path. A concrete block 4' x 4' box is
attached on the north end of the PVC outflow pipe and has a 6" PVC plastic tee allowing adjustable height of the water
level in the adjacent pond. Water flows through the 6" tee, into the control box, through the buried 15" outflow pipe and
discharges into the outfall ditch.
Overflow ditch is lined with riprap for 20 feet down its length. Existing slopes adjacent to the outfall are heavily' grassed
with natural grass and weeds with no erosion present.
MAINTENANCE
Structure will be visually inspected daily during dewatering of the excavation for proper operation. Structure will be
checked and necessary maintenance, including removal of debris, shall be performed after major storms and monthly.

Filter layer. gravol
or fabric
Riprap lined apron located at end of mine dewatering overflow pipe to prevent scour and undermining
in existing ditch, and to absorb the impact of the water flow and reduce the velocity to non -erosive
levels, before flow reaches wetlands.
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.

Berm Construction Details
Joe Towe White Sand Mine
Hertford, NC
Perquimans County
Narrow -based berm
The narrow -based berm is the most common berm having a top of 4 feet (1.2 m) and side slopes of two
horizontal: 1 vertical. This berm is the most economical to build as it requires the least material. The
steep side slopes of this type of berm eliminate the possibility of working on it with farm machinery.
4'
2 �
Steep -back slope berm
This berm has a broad -based slope of 8 horizontal:1 vertical on the front side and a steep slope of 2
horizontal:1 vertical on the back side.
The front side can be worked over with farm machinery while the steep -back is left permanently
vegetated. This berm type could be located at the edge of a lane, gully, etc. where the front side is to be
worked.
2 �1 4, � 8
1
� 1
Berm Construction
The berm construction comprises of the scraping back of the topsoil from the area where the berm and
storage basin is to be built. A subsoil material, free of stones, rubble, stumps etc. and with at least 10%
clay should be used to construct the berm. The material for the berm may be obtained from the area
behind or in front of the berm location or moved from a borrow pit located elsewhere on the farm. An
earth mover will be required to move material from a pit located a distance away while a bulldozer
would be used if material is located in the berm area.

The berm material is to be placed in layers and compacted as each layer is added. After the berm has a
final shape the sides of the berm should also be compacted.
Emergency Overflow
To provide for larger -than designed peak flows, two types of overflow system are used, namely:
1. "The level -top vegetated berm crest" which provides for very flat berm top so that the water will
overflow along the berm length in a thin layer so as not to create erosion problems.
2. "A notched spillway" which is located at the one end of the berm, ie. where the berm meets the
original ground, and is lined with rock rip rap or vegetation. The emergency spillway is to be designed so
that it will safely carry the maximum expected flow from a storm that will occur once every 25 years.

Water Height Control: Construction Details
NRCS Code 587
Joe Towe White Sand Mine
Edenton Road Street, Hertford, NC
Perquimans County
DESCRIPTION
A structure in a water management system that conveys water, controls the direction or rate of flow, maintains a desired
water surface elevation or measures water. Water height control structure is standard structure used by agricultural and
horticultural farms in North Carolina to raise or lower water height in ditches and ponds per need.
PURPOSE
To convey water from one elevation to a lower elevation within, to, or from a water conveyance system, such as a ditch,
channel, canal, or pipeline designed to operate under open channel conditions. Typical structures: drops, chutes,
turnouts, surface water inlets, head gates, pump boxes, and stilling basins.
CONSTRUCTION (SEE ATTACHED DIAGRAM)
Structure consists of 25' x 15" horizontal PVC plastic outflow pipe running under farm path. A concrete block 4' x 4' box is
attached on the north end of the PVC outflow pipe and has a 6" PVC plastic tee allowing adjustable height of the water
level in the adjacent pond. Water flows through the 6" tee, into the control box, through the buried 15" outflow pipe and
discharges into the outfall ditch.
Overflow ditch is lined with riprap for 20 feet down its length. Existing slopes adjacent to the outfall are heavily grassed
with natural grass and weeds with no erosion present.
MAINTENANCE
Structure will be visually inspected daily during dewatering of the excavation for proper operation. Structure will be
checked and necessary maintenance, including removal of debris, shall be performed after major storms and monthly,

Riprap lined apron located at end of mine dewatering overflow pipe to prevent scour and undermining
in existing ditch, and to absorb the impact of the water flow and reduce the velocity to non -erosive
levels, before flow reaches wetlands.
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.

Berm Construction Details
Joe Towe White Sand Mine
Hertford, NC
Perquimans County
Narrow -based berm
The narrow -based berm is the most common berm having a top of 4 feet (1.2 m) and side slopes of two
horizontal: 1 vertical. This berm is the most economical to build as it requires the least material. The
steep side slopes of this type of berm eliminate the possibility of working on it with farm machinery.
-9.4 41 It
2 2
Steep -back slope berm
This berm has a broad -based slope of 8 horizontal:) vertical on the front side and a steep slope of 2
horizontal:) vertical on the back side.
The front side can be worked over with farm machinery while the steep -back is left permanently
vegetated. This berm type could be located at the edge of a lane, gully, etc. where the front side is to be
worked.
2 a1 4' � 8
Berm Construction
The berm construction comprises of the scraping back of the topsoil from the area where the berm and
storage basin is to be built. A subsoil material, free of stones, rubble, stumps etc. and with at least 10%
clay should be used to construct the berm. The material for the berm may be obtained from the area
behind or in front of the berm location or moved from a borrow pit located elsewhere on the farm. An
earth mover will be required to move material from a pit located a distance away while a bulldozer
would be used if material is located in the berm area.

The berm material is to be placed in layers and compacted as each layer is added. After the berm has a
final shape the sides of the berm should also be compacted.
Emergency Overflow
To provide for larger -than designed peak flows, two types of overflow system are used, namely:
1. "The level -top vegetated berm crest" which provides for very flat berm top so that the water will
overflow along the berm length in a thin layer so as not to create erosion problems.
2. "A notched spillway" which is located at the one end of the berm, ie. where the berm meets the
original ground, and is lined with rock rip rap or vegetation. The emergency spillway is to be designed so
that it will safely carry the maximum expected flow from a storm that will occur once every 25 years.
